The Sick Villain Just Want to Live
Chapter 61 Banquet
Inside the major companies in City A, there have been many rumors recently.
Professor Lian Youqin, who has been abroad for more than ten years and is famous in finance, suddenly returned to China to hold a birthday party. Many people in the financial circle of City A were students of Professor Lian. After receiving the invitation letter, of course they wanted to go to participated.
Even if you can't get in touch with the teacher after a long time, you can still take the opportunity to make business partners.
In Xia's house, guests came to the main hall on the first floor. After the servants made tea, they all retreated under Xia Weiyi's signal.
"how are things?"
Xia Weiyi poured tea for the guest and handed it over.
The guest said: "Son and daughter are debts, what can you do if you offend someone who shouldn't be offended?"
The business is restricted everywhere, if it is not for some family assets, I am afraid that I will face bankruptcy.
Xia Weiyi said: "Xiaoxiao, the person they met at the racecourse is really Liu Jianbai?"
"He called me personally, is this still fake?"
Now that He Biyou thinks about that phone call, he can't wait to go back and beat up his daughter again.
Xia Weiyi frowned and said, "Didn't Liu Jianbai go abroad to develop a few years ago? When did he come back?"
City A a few years ago is not what it is now.
Liu Jianbai was like a dark horse born out of nowhere, nobody paid attention to him at first, but in just two years, he made a strong counterattack, almost covering the sky in City A with his ruthless wrist and unknown background. People are afraid.
After several years of development in City A, Liu Jianbai began to move abroad, giving everyone in City A a chance to breathe and develop.
But although he is not in City A, his influence is still there, and no one knows when he will make a comeback.
He Biyou said: "I don't know, I heard with a smile that Liu Jianbai was at the racecourse at the time, and he was very respectful to that child from Zhu's family."
"..."
respectful?
A person like Liu Jianbo respects a child?
Xia Weiyi pondered and said: "If it's because of Liu Jianbai, then it's not surprising that Zhu's family has been going smoothly in the past few years."
But for so many years, the child of Zhu's family was sick and hospitalized, Zhu Shoushan was busy with work, and he had never heard of any connection between him and Liu Jianbai. How could Liu Jianbai suddenly appear by Zhu Tong's side?
And there is Jiang Wan...
"I heard that Jiang Wan followed Zhushoushan into the Zhu family's villa this afternoon. Maybe the Jiang family also heard something."
With Jiang Wan's reputation as a flirtatious person, he went to Zhushou Mountain at this time, most likely because of Zhu Tong.
He Biyou frowned slightly, "Liu Jianbai's attitude towards Zhushoushan is different, Lao Xia, if the Zhu family and the Jiang family marry, then we may not have a foothold in City A."
Xia Weiyi: "..."
He Biyou: "And I heard that the child from Zhu's family returned to City A today, and he should also go to the birthday party in three days' time."
The atmosphere suddenly sank for a while.
Liu Jianbai who appeared at the racecourse on the outskirts of the small county town, Jiang Wan who followed Zhushoushan into the Zhu family's villa, and the Zhu family's young master who suddenly returned to the city.
There was silence in the main hall.
On the spiral staircase, Xia Yang, who came home on the weekend, stood where the staircase turned, just in the blind spot of the two people in the living room. When he heard the talk of "Zhujia" in the living room, he subconsciously stopped.
What did he hear?
The Jiang family and the Zhu family...married?
How can this be?
But if it's true... what if it's true?
Xia Yang's eyes shone slightly, and he was faintly excited.
If his father and Uncle He's speculation is true, then Shao Ming and Zhu Tong...
Xia Yang's heart beat wildly, he took a deep breath, turned and went downstairs.
"Dad, I'm back to school."
Xia Yang spoke as calmly as possible.
Xia Weiyi looked up at him, his eyes darkened slightly.
His son knew it himself. Seeing the eagerness hidden in Xia Yang's eyes, he knew that Xia Yang had just overheard their conversation, but he didn't say anything.
He picked up the teacup and responded lightly, "Yes."
Xia Yang greeted He Biyou again, turned and went out.
Seeing the figure disappearing at the door, Xia Weiyi lowered his head and sipped his tea, hiding the flash of light in his eyes.
In Gongshui No. [-] Middle School, the campus is always extremely noisy on weekends, and Class [-] classrooms are also noisy during evening self-study.
"Brother Ming, are you really going to participate in the math competition?"
In the evening self-study of the first quarter, Shi Wenshu cheerfully announced the list of his class who will go to City A to participate in the math competition.
In order to improve the competitive awareness of top students in various schools, various provinces and cities hold various competitions every year to encourage students to actively participate.
Speaking of mathematics competitions, the leaders of Gongshui No. [-] Lieutenant Colonel are of course the most optimistic about Shao Ming, but their first grade in this year is a miracle. He will not participate in Gao's competition at all, euphemistically saying: too far away.
There is no need to walk to the game, and it has something to do with the distance.
But no matter how much the school leaders tried to persuade him, Shao Ming refused to advance. In the end, the leaders could only settle for the next best thing, pinning their hopes on Lu Zheyu, who participated in the competition for the bonus.
This time Shao Ming himself proposed to participate in the competition, which really surprised the school leaders.
It also shocked Rosso a lot.
Shao Ming said calmly: "What? I can't go to win glory for the school?"
Rosso: "..."
You, a person who "cuts corners" during class cleaning, can have such awareness?
As the only insider in the class about the relationship between the two, Rosso has reason to suspect that this person suddenly going to City A to participate in the competition is actually selfish.
If I remember correctly, Zhu Tong just left in the morning, right?
It's not enough to run to see off the plane, now you even have to chase people?
... As for?
Comrade Luo, who was a solo mother, expressed that she didn't understand very much.
But Shao Ming's pursuit of people is very high-sounding and well-founded. How tall is he to participate in a math competition?
He can only wave the banner of cheering and cheering for people.
The math competition is scheduled for three days later, and the students participating in the competition have to set off and gather in the city two days in advance, so they need to make preparations in advance.
After evening self-study and school, Shao Ming sent Zhu Tong a WeChat message before going down to the teaching building.
—Is the inspection over?
After sending the message and waiting for a while without receiving a reply, he turned around and went downstairs, and rode his bicycle back to the hotel alone. The journey was a little light... because there was one person missing in the back seat.
Halfway through the ride, Shao Ming even wanted to turn around and talk to the people in the back seat like before.
Habits are really a scary thing.
He smiled helplessly, braked with both feet at the door of the hotel, took out his phone and opened WeChat.
Seeing the red number mark behind the note, Shao Ming slightly raised his lips and clicked on the conversation.
[Zhu]: It's over, I've gone home.
Shao Ming wanted to ask him how the test result was, but he deleted the entered words one by one.
Zhu Tong never took the initiative to bring up his illness, and when asked, he answered perfunctorily.
Since he refused to say anything, Shao Ming didn't want to embarrass him either.
It's just that I can't help but care.
At this time, another message popped up on the phone.
[Zhu]: I just took a shower, so the reply is late.
Shao Ming: ...
Do you have to seriously explain such a trivial matter?
It's really...cute.
Shao Ming pursed his lips slightly, and replied: Do you know what you are doing?
[Zhu]: What behavior?
[Shao]: Only couples who are separated from each other need to report to each other what they were doing in the last second.
Zhu Tong was in his bedroom, wiping his hair with a towel. His mobile phone was placed on the bedside table. It buzzed twice and vibrated.
And... what nonsense are you talking about?
How did he feel that after returning to City A, Shao Ming's words to him became less and less restrained.
Is it because you can express yourself in words, so you let yourself go?
Can't be serious, can't be serious, can't be serious.
Zhu Tong recited silently in his heart several times before his beating heart calmed down.
He didn't dare to talk anymore, and replied directly: I'm going to bed.
After thinking about it, I added two more words: good night.
Shao Ming looked at the two words that popped up on the back of the phone screen, and the corners of his lips kept rising.
He replied by voice: Good night, young master.
After posting, I turned off my phone, and pushed the car to go into the hotel.
The dim streetlights in front of the homestay hit his raised face, and his smile could be called bright.
"Shao Ming."
A person suddenly came out from the dim shadow of the trees in front of him, interrupting his good mood.
Xia Yang went back to City A in the morning, didn't go to the evening self-study, and only now rushed back to Gongshui County, and couldn't wait to come to this homestay after getting off the bus.
He watched Shao Ming stop by the door of the hotel on his bicycle, and watched him take out his mobile phone to chat with people, the expression on his face was richer than he had ever seen before.
Surprised, hesitant, teasing.
Who is he talking to?Congratulations to Tong?
Xia Yang came out from under the shadow of the tree, Shao Ming frowned obviously when he saw him.
He turned away.
Xia Yang clenched his palms tightly, subconsciously took a step forward, "Do you like Zhu Tong?"
"..."
Shao Ming's footsteps paused slightly.
His slight movement lifted Xia Yang's spirits, as if striking while the iron was hot, he said in a warning tone: "I advise you not to like him."
Shao Ming's eyes were slightly cold, he turned around and said, "Master Yang is in charge of the world, even who others like?"
Xia Yang's heart tightened again.
Shao Ming...has he admitted it?
Admit that he likes Zhu Tong?
Jealousy and sour emotions raged wildly in his heart, Xia Yang's nervous expression eased slightly, and his face was a little anxious, "I'm just reminding you, Zhu Tong is not worthy of your liking at all..."
"Whether it's worth it or not is my business."
Xia Yang was startled by the sudden gloomy face, and took half a step back in fright, but refused to compromise on this.
Shao Ming treated him like this only because he didn't know the truth, and he would make Shao Ming wake up.
Xia Yang said: "Do you know why he returned to City A this time? He is to marry someone else."
"..."
"I know you find it unbelievable, yes, he is not yet under the legal age of marriage, but this kind of thing is not uncommon in City A, you and Zhu Tong, it was impossible from the beginning, he hung you while returning to A The city is talking about marriage, he doesn't have you in his heart at all, he just uses you as a pastime, if you like him, you will definitely regret it!"
The childish voice with venting sounded outside the hotel, and was blown into the air by a gust of cool wind.
Shao Ming sneered and said, "Then I would like to thank you for reminding me so kindly."
Xia Yang was startled: "You don't believe me?"
Shao Ming pushed his bicycle into the courtyard of the hotel.
Xia Yang became anxious, "What I said is true. Zhu Tong has been in poor health since he was a child. He was useless from birth. He has no use for the Zhu family, only for marriage. He..."
Before he finished speaking, Xia Yang's pupils shrank suddenly.
A sharp object directly hit his eyes, and he backed away in horror, his back against the door frame of the courtyard gate, because the impact was so hard, his back felt an indescribable dull pain.
He looked in disbelief at the man who was still standing there.
Shao Ming was holding a tree branch in his hand, which he had just broken off from the large potted plant at the gate of the courtyard. The place where it was broken was sharp and sharp. If he hadn't hidden just now, his eyes...
Compared with the tree branch in Shao Ming's hand, what shocked Xia Yang even more was Shao Ming's expression.
He just looked at himself so straight, his eyes were sharp and cold.
Shao Ming seemed to be very satisfied with Xia Yang's reaction, and his voice seemed to freeze when he spoke, "Since you know you are afraid, you should control your mouth. If you don't want to see blood, it's best not to appear in front of me again."
After speaking, he threw the branch in his hand and turned around indifferently.
Xia Yang was frightened and frightened.
Not only did Shao Ming not believe him, he even threatened him!
Why doesn't he believe it?
Did Zhu Tong trick him?Or he knew it long ago, but he didn't care at all!
Xia Yang was full of jealousy.
Why does Zhu Tong get Shao Ming's bottomless favor?
Why can he only be disgusted and despised?
Obviously he was the one who came to Shao Ming's side first, and he was the one who fell in love with Shao Ming first!
Why did Shao Ming treat him like this?
He has been deliberately ignored and rejected for a long time. Because of Shao Ming, he was humiliated in front of others. He gave up his self-esteem and a good campus life, but in the end he still didn't get any response from Shao Ming.
From the beginning to the end, he was acting passionately, and in the end he was the joke!
With nowhere to vent his resentment, Xia Yang looked at the person in front of him who left him without hesitation.
This person can be so heartless, so why should he let him relax and be happy?
Xia Yang blurted out: "Do you know that Zhu Tong is dying!"
Shao Ming stopped abruptly, turned his head and said, "...what did you say?"
...
In City A, Zhu Tong didn't reply after receiving Shao Ming's last voice message.
But he couldn't sleep either.
At the end of the chat record, although there were only a few short words, Shao Ming deliberately lowered his voice. The words "Little Master" sounded like an electric shock to people's ears.
He knew Shao Ming's voice was nice, but he didn't expect it to be so... sexy.
I don't know if it was because of that voice, or because it was the first time he slept in the bed of his grandfather's house, he tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.
The feeling of insomnia overlapped with those two nights at the homestay.
Zhu Tong lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling, thinking: Is it true that he can't sleep without Shao Ming?
impossible.
He does depend on Shao Ming sometimes, but not to this extent.
It must be a newly bought bed and he is not used to sleeping on it.
Zhu Tong gave the pot to his grandfather, and he relaxed a lot mentally. He picked up the phone again, wanted to send a message to Shao Ming, checked the time, and gave up again.
It's already eleven o'clock.
Unlike his own absenteeism, Shao Ming has to go back to school tomorrow, so he is probably already asleep by now.
Or don't bother him?
If I send a message now, Shao Ming will reply to him even if he is asleep.
Thinking about Zhu Tong, he was startled.
Why is he so sure that Shao Ming will reply to him?
Because... Shao Ming seems to have always done this.
Zhu Tong lay on his side on the bed holding his phone, looked at the chat interface between the two, couldn't help stretching out his finger, and clicked on the last voice message.
—Good night, young master.
A familiar voice sounded, and Zhu Tong felt a little bit of satisfaction.
While satisfied, he also realized one thing.
He seems to... miss Shao Ming a little bit.
He just returned to City A for the first day.
But I just thought about it.
I can't help but think of him all the time.
Zhu Tong stared at the phone for a while, then suddenly grabbed the pillow and buried his face in it.
Three days later, at the Magic Sky Entertainment Club.
Huantian Entertainment Club is a famous banquet venue in City A. Many charity dinners are held here. Those who came to the birthday banquet today are no strangers to this place.
Also as an invited person, it was the first time for Zhu Tong to come to this kind of occasion.
He refused to attend with his father. When he heard that he was going with his aunt, his father's tone on the phone was not very good. He didn't know whether he agreed to his aunt because he refused or because he didn't Messed up with him what plans he had.
Zhu Tong didn't care too much, thinking that he could go back quickly after the banquet.
He may be a little socially afraid, and he already wanted to retreat before he entered the banquet venue.
"Tongtong, let's go."
The car stopped in front of the clubhouse, and my aunt called him kindly.
Aunt Cheng was wearing a high-end gown, with delicate makeup on her face. She had a beautiful temperament, and she was able to handle this kind of banquet with ease.
Zhu Tong nodded and followed her out of the car.
After getting off the car, my aunt smiled and praised: "Your complexion is much better, it seems that our Tongtong is going to surprise the audience today."
Zhu Tong: "..."
He is also wearing a formal suit today, and the slim suit makes his figure stand out. The face that has been forced to be modified is more elegant and handsome. When the eyes are downcast and silent, they are elegant and dignified, and when they are raised, they are supernatural.
But Zhu Tong didn't like it.
Some are uncomfortable and make people very restrained.
He couldn't imitate Xiao Xin's sweet talk, so he could only praise dryly: "Auntie is also very good-looking today."
Auntie: "Of course, I have to be worthy of our Tongtong."
"..."
Turning around and closing the car door, my aunt explained something to the driver through the car window. Zhu Tong looked up aimlessly, and suddenly a car stopped not far away. He didn't care at first. At that moment, he froze for a moment.
The car over there is different from the other normal cars around. It is a sports car.
The person in the driver's seat didn't seem to intend to get out of the car, and turned his head to talk to the person in the passenger seat.
Even if there is only a profile, Zhu Tong will not admit his mistake.
That person is Qin Junhong.
Why did Qin Junhong come here?
Who is the woman in the car?
"Tongtong, what's the matter?"
My aunt asked the driver to drive the car away, and when she turned around, seeing Zhu Tong's strange expression, she asked in confusion.
Zhu Tong came back to his senses, turned around and asked, "Does Auntie know that person over there?"
Aunt Cheng followed his gaze, "Who is there... You mean Jiang Wan?"
Zhu Tong said, "Jiang Wan?"
"That's right, the eldest lady of Jiang's chaebol...the person next to her..."
Seeing that Qin Junhong frowned, Aunt Cheng suddenly laughed mockingly: "The one named Qin, it seems that after being driven out of Zhu's house, he didn't settle down."
Zhu Tong was slightly surprised: "Auntie, do you know about this?"
"Of course I know." The aunt said: "This is the only decent thing your father has done for so many years."
Zhu Tong: "..."
Zhu Tong didn't know about Qin Junhong's expulsion from Zhu's house until the day he returned to City A.
After Zhushoushan called him to attend the banquet, he was worried, so he inquired about what happened at home recently.
He was surprised when he heard that Qin Junhong had been kicked out, but after hearing the exact time, he fell silent again.
Zhu Shoushan drove Qin Junhong out because he discovered his private property, not because Qin Junhong asked Zhou Sui to slander him at school.
He really shouldn't have expected anything from his father.
Zhu Tong glanced at Qin Junhong again.
When the progress bar was halfway through, he thought that the first thing he would do when he returned to City A was to let Qin Junhong leave Zhu's house, but after he came back, Qin Junhong had already left by accident.
Why did his father suddenly become suspicious of Qin Junhong?Just because of Zhou Sui?
The specific reason is unknown to Zhu Tong.
What he can be sure of is that because of his actions, the world line has changed.
He originally thought that Qin Junhong had been kicked out, Xiao Xin should be safe with his grandfather's protection.
But Qin Junhong's sudden appearance outside the banquet today made him feel uneasy again.
And the name Jiang Wan...he sounded familiar.
"Jiang Wan is a stock in the original text."
"..."
A sentence popped up in his mind from the system that hadn't moved for a long time.
Zhu Tong was startled, and asked, "A stock?"
The system said: "She is one of the suitors of the heartthrob."
Zhu Tong: "..."
He froze for a moment, then suddenly remembered something.
Jiang Wan, a heartthrob female suitor who came out of the heartthrob drama, will fall in love with heartthrob at first sight at a reception after graduation.
But unlike other people's way of falling in love, Jiang Wan's only thing she loves is her face.
According to the information Zhu Tong knew, this woman...has a bad reputation.
How could Qin Junhong be with Jiang Wan?
He won't be desperate and go to be a bad face for others, right?
Zhu Tong suddenly remembered the emoji of an old man on the subway looking at his mobile phone. Although he couldn't make that kind of emoji, it was unexpectedly suitable to describe his current mood.
"Let's go."
Aunt took his hand.
Although Zhu Tong didn't attend the banquet, he knew all the etiquette he should know. He nodded and temporarily put Qin Junhong aside.
Walking into the banquet venue, Zhu Tong watched as his aunt greeted people familiar in the venue.
My aunt usually lives in City E, and not many people know her in City A. Zhu Tong doesn't feel too embarrassed because she is taken care of by her aunt. Occasionally, when someone asks her, he responds politely, but his expression is always calm.
After meeting the people at the banquet, my aunt took him to meet the protagonist of today's birthday party, Professor Lian Youqinlian.
Zhu Tong politely called her "Aunt Lian".
He didn't know how good the relationship between Professor Lian and his mother was, but he did take good care of him, knowing that he didn't like crowds, and arranged for him to rest in a separate and quiet room.
Of course, the protagonist cannot accompany him as a guest, and the aunt also has "acquaintances" to deal with, and soon Zhu Tong is the only one left in the room.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
When encountering this kind of situation, Zhu Tong is particularly envious of Shao Ming's character of being able to joke a few words with anyone and being able to cope with being teased.
He was so bored that he couldn't help sending a message to Shao Ming.
It should be dinner time now.
But after waiting for more than ten minutes after sending the message, there was no reply from Shao Ming.
He was disappointed and started to look through the chat records of the two of them.
Flipping through it, I found that Shao Ming's attitude seemed a little strange these two days.
He still responded in a timely manner and answered all questions.
But it is much more serious than before.
Was it that his reply that day was too blunt?So Shao Ming stopped joking with him?
Is this a good thing or a bad thing?
Zhu Tong sighed suddenly.
After waiting for a while, there was still no reply. He felt stuffy in his heart, and turned his head to look at the position of the floor-to-ceiling windows. It seemed to be an open-air balcony outside.
He thought about going to the balcony to get some air, got up and walked over.
There was a cool breeze on the balcony, and the noise from the main venue of the banquet could be vaguely heard. Zhu Tong didn't like such occasions before, and he doesn't like it now.
He was depressed and wanted to call Shao Ming, but he was afraid that he was really busy and would disturb him by making a sudden call, so he could only sigh softly and couldn't help thinking: He seems to be really dependent on Shao Ming.
Could it be that Shao Ming was bothering him?
Just as he was thinking, someone suddenly approached him and said with a light smile, "Master Zhu, what are you sighing for?"
"..."
The visitor was wearing a long aqua blue dress, with long curly hair hanging gracefully and seductively in front of her, like a mermaid that came out of the water and landed on land.
Zhu Tong was no stranger to this outfit, he instinctively took a step to the side, away from that person.
Jiang Wan.
His movement of dodging was too obvious, Jiang Wan paused as he shook the wine glass lightly, with a smile on his face, "Master Zhu...seems to be very afraid of me?"
Zhu Tong: "..."
Did he not express clearly?
It should be disgusting.
Zhu Tong turned his head and glanced.
A gust of wind blew over, stirring up Jiang Wan's slightly thick long hair.
Jiang Wan took advantage of the situation and said, "Usually at this time, men should take off their coats and put them on women in a gentlemanly manner."
Zhu Tong said indifferently: "I am underage, not a man."
"..."
Jiang Wan frowned slightly.
After a pause, Zhu Tong added, "I'm not a gentleman either."
Jiang Wan: "..."
To this woman, Zhu Tong didn't have a good impression either at first or now.
What is the relationship between Qin Junhong and this person, whether it was a coincidence or intentional to appear outside the banquet venue, after the banquet is over, he will find out through his own means.
He doesn't want any positive communication with this heartthrob suitor.
After he finished speaking, he turned and went back to the room.
Jiang Wan was unhurried, and after he turned around, he said, "It seems that Young Master Zhu doesn't know why Mr. Zhu brought you here today."

Don't shoot, allies!
感谢在2021-11-2015:00:54~2021-11-2117:26:47期间为我投出霸王票或灌溉营养液的小天使哦~
Thanks to the little angel of the irrigation nutrient solution: 2 1 bottles; [-] bottle of red jasmine;
Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
Professor Lian Youqin, who has been abroad for more than ten years and is famous in finance, suddenly returned to China to hold a birthday party. Many people in the financial circle of City A were students of Professor Lian. After receiving the invitation letter, of course they wanted to go to participated.
Even if you can't get in touch with the teacher after a long time, you can still take the opportunity to make business partners.
In Xia's house, guests came to the main hall on the first floor. After the servants made tea, they all retreated under Xia Weiyi's signal.
"how are things?"
Xia Weiyi poured tea for the guest and handed it over.
The guest said: "Son and daughter are debts, what can you do if you offend someone who shouldn't be offended?"
The business is restricted everywhere, if it is not for some family assets, I am afraid that I will face bankruptcy.
Xia Weiyi said: "Xiaoxiao, the person they met at the racecourse is really Liu Jianbai?"
"He called me personally, is this still fake?"
Now that He Biyou thinks about that phone call, he can't wait to go back and beat up his daughter again.
Xia Weiyi frowned and said, "Didn't Liu Jianbai go abroad to develop a few years ago? When did he come back?"
City A a few years ago is not what it is now.
Liu Jianbai was like a dark horse born out of nowhere, nobody paid attention to him at first, but in just two years, he made a strong counterattack, almost covering the sky in City A with his ruthless wrist and unknown background. People are afraid.
After several years of development in City A, Liu Jianbai began to move abroad, giving everyone in City A a chance to breathe and develop.
But although he is not in City A, his influence is still there, and no one knows when he will make a comeback.
He Biyou said: "I don't know, I heard with a smile that Liu Jianbai was at the racecourse at the time, and he was very respectful to that child from Zhu's family."
"..."
respectful?
A person like Liu Jianbo respects a child?
Xia Weiyi pondered and said: "If it's because of Liu Jianbai, then it's not surprising that Zhu's family has been going smoothly in the past few years."
But for so many years, the child of Zhu's family was sick and hospitalized, Zhu Shoushan was busy with work, and he had never heard of any connection between him and Liu Jianbai. How could Liu Jianbai suddenly appear by Zhu Tong's side?
And there is Jiang Wan...
"I heard that Jiang Wan followed Zhushoushan into the Zhu family's villa this afternoon. Maybe the Jiang family also heard something."
With Jiang Wan's reputation as a flirtatious person, he went to Zhushou Mountain at this time, most likely because of Zhu Tong.
He Biyou frowned slightly, "Liu Jianbai's attitude towards Zhushoushan is different, Lao Xia, if the Zhu family and the Jiang family marry, then we may not have a foothold in City A."
Xia Weiyi: "..."
He Biyou: "And I heard that the child from Zhu's family returned to City A today, and he should also go to the birthday party in three days' time."
The atmosphere suddenly sank for a while.
Liu Jianbai who appeared at the racecourse on the outskirts of the small county town, Jiang Wan who followed Zhushoushan into the Zhu family's villa, and the Zhu family's young master who suddenly returned to the city.
There was silence in the main hall.
On the spiral staircase, Xia Yang, who came home on the weekend, stood where the staircase turned, just in the blind spot of the two people in the living room. When he heard the talk of "Zhujia" in the living room, he subconsciously stopped.
What did he hear?
The Jiang family and the Zhu family...married?
How can this be?
But if it's true... what if it's true?
Xia Yang's eyes shone slightly, and he was faintly excited.
If his father and Uncle He's speculation is true, then Shao Ming and Zhu Tong...
Xia Yang's heart beat wildly, he took a deep breath, turned and went downstairs.
"Dad, I'm back to school."
Xia Yang spoke as calmly as possible.
Xia Weiyi looked up at him, his eyes darkened slightly.
His son knew it himself. Seeing the eagerness hidden in Xia Yang's eyes, he knew that Xia Yang had just overheard their conversation, but he didn't say anything.
He picked up the teacup and responded lightly, "Yes."
Xia Yang greeted He Biyou again, turned and went out.
Seeing the figure disappearing at the door, Xia Weiyi lowered his head and sipped his tea, hiding the flash of light in his eyes.
In Gongshui No. [-] Middle School, the campus is always extremely noisy on weekends, and Class [-] classrooms are also noisy during evening self-study.

Comrade Luo, who was a solo mother, expressed that she didn't understand very much.
But Shao Ming's pursuit of people is very high-sounding and well-founded. How tall is he to participate in a math competition?
He can only wave the banner of cheering and cheering for people.
The math competition is scheduled for three days later, and the students participating in the competition have to set off and gather in the city two days in advance, so they need to make preparations in advance.
After evening self-study and school, Shao Ming sent Zhu Tong a WeChat message before going down to the teaching building.
—Is the inspection over?
After sending the message and waiting for a while without receiving a reply, he turned around and went downstairs, and rode his bicycle back to the hotel alone. The journey was a little light... because there was one person missing in the back seat.
Halfway through the ride, Shao Ming even wanted to turn around and talk to the people in the back seat like before.
Habits are really a scary thing.
He smiled helplessly, braked with both feet at the door of the hotel, took out his phone and opened WeChat.
Seeing the red number mark behind the note, Shao Ming slightly raised his lips and clicked on the conversation.
[Zhu]: It's over, I've gone home.
Shao Ming wanted to ask him how the test result was, but he deleted the entered words one by one.
Zhu Tong never took the initiative to bring up his illness, and when asked, he answered perfunctorily.
Since he refused to say anything, Shao Ming didn't want to embarrass him either.
It's just that I can't help but care.
At this time, another message popped up on the phone.
[Zhu]: I just took a shower, so the reply is late.
Shao Ming: ...
Do you have to seriously explain such a trivial matter?
It's really...cute.
Shao Ming pursed his lips slightly, and replied: Do you know what you are doing?
[Zhu]: What behavior?
[Shao]: Only couples who are separated from each other need to report to each other what they were doing in the last second.
Zhu Tong was in his bedroom, wiping his hair with a towel. His mobile phone was placed on the bedside table. It buzzed twice and vibrated.
And... what nonsense are you talking about?
How did he feel that after returning to City A, Shao Ming's words to him became less and less restrained.
Is it because you can express yourself in words, so you let yourself go?
Can't be serious, can't be serious, can't be serious.
Zhu Tong recited silently in his heart several times before his beating heart calmed down.
He didn't dare to talk anymore, and replied directly: I'm going to bed.
After thinking about it, I added two more words: good night.
Shao Ming looked at the two words that popped up on the back of the phone screen, and the corners of his lips kept rising.
He replied by voice: Good night, young master.
After posting, I turned off my phone, and pushed the car to go into the hotel.
The dim streetlights in front of the homestay hit his raised face, and his smile could be called bright.
"Shao Ming."
A person suddenly came out from the dim shadow of the trees in front of him, interrupting his good mood.
Xia Yang went back to City A in the morning, didn't go to the evening self-study, and only now rushed back to Gongshui County, and couldn't wait to come to this homestay after getting off the bus.
He watched Shao Ming stop by the door of the hotel on his bicycle, and watched him take out his mobile phone to chat with people, the expression on his face was richer than he had ever seen before.
Surprised, hesitant, teasing.
Who is he talking to?Congratulations to Tong?
Xia Yang came out from under the shadow of the tree, Shao Ming frowned obviously when he saw him.
He turned away.
Xia Yang clenched his palms tightly, subconsciously took a step forward, "Do you like Zhu Tong?"
"..."
Shao Ming's footsteps paused slightly.
His slight movement lifted Xia Yang's spirits, as if striking while the iron was hot, he said in a warning tone: "I advise you not to like him."
Shao Ming's eyes were slightly cold, he turned around and said, "Master Yang is in charge of the world, even who others like?"
Xia Yang's heart tightened again.
Shao Ming...has he admitted it?
Admit that he likes Zhu Tong?
Jealousy and sour emotions raged wildly in his heart, Xia Yang's nervous expression eased slightly, and his face was a little anxious, "I'm just reminding you, Zhu Tong is not worthy of your liking at all..."
"Whether it's worth it or not is my business."
Xia Yang was startled by the sudden gloomy face, and took half a step back in fright, but refused to compromise on this.
Shao Ming treated him like this only because he didn't know the truth, and he would make Shao Ming wake up.
Xia Yang said: "Do you know why he returned to City A this time? He is to marry someone else."
"..."
"I know you find it unbelievable, yes, he is not yet under the legal age of marriage, but this kind of thing is not uncommon in City A, you and Zhu Tong, it was impossible from the beginning, he hung you while returning to A The city is talking about marriage, he doesn't have you in his heart at all, he just uses you as a pastime, if you like him, you will definitely regret it!"
The childish voice with venting sounded outside the hotel, and was blown into the air by a gust of cool wind.
Shao Ming sneered and said, "Then I would like to thank you for reminding me so kindly."
Xia Yang was startled: "You don't believe me?"
Shao Ming pushed his bicycle into the courtyard of the hotel.
Xia Yang became anxious, "What I said is true. Zhu Tong has been in poor health since he was a child. He was useless from birth. He has no use for the Zhu family, only for marriage. He..."
Before he finished speaking, Xia Yang's pupils shrank suddenly.
A sharp object directly hit his eyes, and he backed away in horror, his back against the door frame of the courtyard gate, because the impact was so hard, his back felt an indescribable dull pain.
He looked in disbelief at the man who was still standing there.
Shao Ming was holding a tree branch in his hand, which he had just broken off from the large potted plant at the gate of the courtyard. The place where it was broken was sharp and sharp. If he hadn't hidden just now, his eyes...
Compared with the tree branch in Shao Ming's hand, what shocked Xia Yang even more was Shao Ming's expression.
He just looked at himself so straight, his eyes were sharp and cold.
Shao Ming seemed to be very satisfied with Xia Yang's reaction, and his voice seemed to freeze when he spoke, "Since you know you are afraid, you should control your mouth. If you don't want to see blood, it's best not to appear in front of me again."
After speaking, he threw the branch in his hand and turned around indifferently.
Xia Yang was frightened and frightened.
Not only did Shao Ming not believe him, he even threatened him!
Why doesn't he believe it?
Did Zhu Tong trick him?Or he knew it long ago, but he didn't care at all!
Xia Yang was full of jealousy.
Why does Zhu Tong get Shao Ming's bottomless favor?
Why can he only be disgusted and despised?
Obviously he was the one who came to Shao Ming's side first, and he was the one who fell in love with Shao Ming first!
Why did Shao Ming treat him like this?
He has been deliberately ignored and rejected for a long time. Because of Shao Ming, he was humiliated in front of others. He gave up his self-esteem and a good campus life, but in the end he still didn't get any response from Shao Ming.
From the beginning to the end, he was acting passionately, and in the end he was the joke!
With nowhere to vent his resentment, Xia Yang looked at the person in front of him who left him without hesitation.
This person can be so heartless, so why should he let him relax and be happy?
Xia Yang blurted out: "Do you know that Zhu Tong is dying!"
Shao Ming stopped abruptly, turned his head and said, "...what did you say?"
...
In City A, Zhu Tong didn't reply after receiving Shao Ming's last voice message.
But he couldn't sleep either.
At the end of the chat record, although there were only a few short words, Shao Ming deliberately lowered his voice. The words "Little Master" sounded like an electric shock to people's ears.
He knew Shao Ming's voice was nice, but he didn't expect it to be so... sexy.
I don't know if it was because of that voice, or because it was the first time he slept in the bed of his grandfather's house, he tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.
The feeling of insomnia overlapped with those two nights at the homestay.
Zhu Tong lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling, thinking: Is it true that he can't sleep without Shao Ming?
impossible.
He does depend on Shao Ming sometimes, but not to this extent.
It must be a newly bought bed and he is not used to sleeping on it.
Zhu Tong gave the pot to his grandfather, and he relaxed a lot mentally. He picked up the phone again, wanted to send a message to Shao Ming, checked the time, and gave up again.
It's already eleven o'clock.
Unlike his own absenteeism, Shao Ming has to go back to school tomorrow, so he is probably already asleep by now.
Or don't bother him?
If I send a message now, Shao Ming will reply to him even if he is asleep.
Thinking about Zhu Tong, he was startled.
Why is he so sure that Shao Ming will reply to him?
Because... Shao Ming seems to have always done this.
Zhu Tong lay on his side on the bed holding his phone, looked at the chat interface between the two, couldn't help stretching out his finger, and clicked on the last voice message.
—Good night, young master.
A familiar voice sounded, and Zhu Tong felt a little bit of satisfaction.
While satisfied, he also realized one thing.
He seems to... miss Shao Ming a little bit.
He just returned to City A for the first day.
But I just thought about it.
I can't help but think of him all the time.
Zhu Tong stared at the phone for a while, then suddenly grabbed the pillow and buried his face in it.
Three days later, at the Magic Sky Entertainment Club.
Huantian Entertainment Club is a famous banquet venue in City A. Many charity dinners are held here. Those who came to the birthday banquet today are no strangers to this place.
Also as an invited person, it was the first time for Zhu Tong to come to this kind of occasion.
He refused to attend with his father. When he heard that he was going with his aunt, his father's tone on the phone was not very good. He didn't know whether he agreed to his aunt because he refused or because he didn't Messed up with him what plans he had.
Zhu Tong didn't care too much, thinking that he could go back quickly after the banquet.
He may be a little socially afraid, and he already wanted to retreat before he entered the banquet venue.
"Tongtong, let's go."
The car stopped in front of the clubhouse, and my aunt called him kindly.
Aunt Cheng was wearing a high-end gown, with delicate makeup on her face. She had a beautiful temperament, and she was able to handle this kind of banquet with ease.
Zhu Tong nodded and followed her out of the car.
After getting off the car, my aunt smiled and praised: "Your complexion is much better, it seems that our Tongtong is going to surprise the audience today."
Zhu Tong: "..."
He is also wearing a formal suit today, and the slim suit makes his figure stand out. The face that has been forced to be modified is more elegant and handsome. When the eyes are downcast and silent, they are elegant and dignified, and when they are raised, they are supernatural.
But Zhu Tong didn't like it.
Some are uncomfortable and make people very restrained.
He couldn't imitate Xiao Xin's sweet talk, so he could only praise dryly: "Auntie is also very good-looking today."
Auntie: "Of course, I have to be worthy of our Tongtong."
"..."
Turning around and closing the car door, my aunt explained something to the driver through the car window. Zhu Tong looked up aimlessly, and suddenly a car stopped not far away. He didn't care at first. At that moment, he froze for a moment.
The car over there is different from the other normal cars around. It is a sports car.
The person in the driver's seat didn't seem to intend to get out of the car, and turned his head to talk to the person in the passenger seat.
Even if there is only a profile, Zhu Tong will not admit his mistake.
That person is Qin Junhong.
Why did Qin Junhong come here?
Who is the woman in the car?
"Tongtong, what's the matter?"
My aunt asked the driver to drive the car away, and when she turned around, seeing Zhu Tong's strange expression, she asked in confusion.
Zhu Tong came back to his senses, turned around and asked, "Does Auntie know that person over there?"
Aunt Cheng followed his gaze, "Who is there... You mean Jiang Wan?"
Zhu Tong said, "Jiang Wan?"
"That's right, the eldest lady of Jiang's chaebol...the person next to her..."
Seeing that Qin Junhong frowned, Aunt Cheng suddenly laughed mockingly: "The one named Qin, it seems that after being driven out of Zhu's house, he didn't settle down."
Zhu Tong was slightly surprised: "Auntie, do you know about this?"
"Of course I know." The aunt said: "This is the only decent thing your father has done for so many years."
Zhu Tong: "..."
Zhu Tong didn't know about Qin Junhong's expulsion from Zhu's house until the day he returned to City A.
After Zhushoushan called him to attend the banquet, he was worried, so he inquired about what happened at home recently.
He was surprised when he heard that Qin Junhong had been kicked out, but after hearing the exact time, he fell silent again.
Zhu Shoushan drove Qin Junhong out because he discovered his private property, not because Qin Junhong asked Zhou Sui to slander him at school.
He really shouldn't have expected anything from his father.
Zhu Tong glanced at Qin Junhong again.
When the progress bar was halfway through, he thought that the first thing he would do when he returned to City A was to let Qin Junhong leave Zhu's house, but after he came back, Qin Junhong had already left by accident.
Why did his father suddenly become suspicious of Qin Junhong?Just because of Zhou Sui?
The specific reason is unknown to Zhu Tong.
What he can be sure of is that because of his actions, the world line has changed.
He originally thought that Qin Junhong had been kicked out, Xiao Xin should be safe with his grandfather's protection.
But Qin Junhong's sudden appearance outside the banquet today made him feel uneasy again.
And the name Jiang Wan...he sounded familiar.
"Jiang Wan is a stock in the original text."
"..."
A sentence popped up in his mind from the system that hadn't moved for a long time.
Zhu Tong was startled, and asked, "A stock?"
The system said: "She is one of the suitors of the heartthrob."
Zhu Tong: "..."
He froze for a moment, then suddenly remembered something.
Jiang Wan, a heartthrob female suitor who came out of the heartthrob drama, will fall in love with heartthrob at first sight at a reception after graduation.
But unlike other people's way of falling in love, Jiang Wan's only thing she loves is her face.
According to the information Zhu Tong knew, this woman...has a bad reputation.
How could Qin Junhong be with Jiang Wan?
He won't be desperate and go to be a bad face for others, right?
Zhu Tong suddenly remembered the emoji of an old man on the subway looking at his mobile phone. Although he couldn't make that kind of emoji, it was unexpectedly suitable to describe his current mood.
"Let's go."
Aunt took his hand.
Although Zhu Tong didn't attend the banquet, he knew all the etiquette he should know. He nodded and temporarily put Qin Junhong aside.
Walking into the banquet venue, Zhu Tong watched as his aunt greeted people familiar in the venue.
My aunt usually lives in City E, and not many people know her in City A. Zhu Tong doesn't feel too embarrassed because she is taken care of by her aunt. Occasionally, when someone asks her, he responds politely, but his expression is always calm.
After meeting the people at the banquet, my aunt took him to meet the protagonist of today's birthday party, Professor Lian Youqinlian.
Zhu Tong politely called her "Aunt Lian".
He didn't know how good the relationship between Professor Lian and his mother was, but he did take good care of him, knowing that he didn't like crowds, and arranged for him to rest in a separate and quiet room.
Of course, the protagonist cannot accompany him as a guest, and the aunt also has "acquaintances" to deal with, and soon Zhu Tong is the only one left in the room.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
When encountering this kind of situation, Zhu Tong is particularly envious of Shao Ming's character of being able to joke a few words with anyone and being able to cope with being teased.
He was so bored that he couldn't help sending a message to Shao Ming.
It should be dinner time now.
But after waiting for more than ten minutes after sending the message, there was no reply from Shao Ming.
He was disappointed and started to look through the chat records of the two of them.
Flipping through it, I found that Shao Ming's attitude seemed a little strange these two days.
He still responded in a timely manner and answered all questions.
But it is much more serious than before.
Was it that his reply that day was too blunt?So Shao Ming stopped joking with him?
Is this a good thing or a bad thing?
Zhu Tong sighed suddenly.
After waiting for a while, there was still no reply. He felt stuffy in his heart, and turned his head to look at the position of the floor-to-ceiling windows. It seemed to be an open-air balcony outside.
He thought about going to the balcony to get some air, got up and walked over.
There was a cool breeze on the balcony, and the noise from the main venue of the banquet could be vaguely heard. Zhu Tong didn't like such occasions before, and he doesn't like it now.
He was depressed and wanted to call Shao Ming, but he was afraid that he was really busy and would disturb him by making a sudden call, so he could only sigh softly and couldn't help thinking: He seems to be really dependent on Shao Ming.
Could it be that Shao Ming was bothering him?
Just as he was thinking, someone suddenly approached him and said with a light smile, "Master Zhu, what are you sighing for?"
"..."
The visitor was wearing a long aqua blue dress, with long curly hair hanging gracefully and seductively in front of her, like a mermaid that came out of the water and landed on land.
Zhu Tong was no stranger to this outfit, he instinctively took a step to the side, away from that person.
Jiang Wan.
His movement of dodging was too obvious, Jiang Wan paused as he shook the wine glass lightly, with a smile on his face, "Master Zhu...seems to be very afraid of me?"
Zhu Tong: "..."
Did he not express clearly?
It should be disgusting.
Zhu Tong turned his head and glanced.
A gust of wind blew over, stirring up Jiang Wan's slightly thick long hair.
Jiang Wan took advantage of the situation and said, "Usually at this time, men should take off their coats and put them on women in a gentlemanly manner."
Zhu Tong said indifferently: "I am underage, not a man."
"..."
Jiang Wan frowned slightly.
After a pause, Zhu Tong added, "I'm not a gentleman either."
Jiang Wan: "..."
To this woman, Zhu Tong didn't have a good impression either at first or now.
What is the relationship between Qin Junhong and this person, whether it was a coincidence or intentional to appear outside the banquet venue, after the banquet is over, he will find out through his own means.
He doesn't want any positive communication with this heartthrob suitor.
After he finished speaking, he turned and went back to the room.
Jiang Wan was unhurried, and after he turned around, he said, "It seems that Young Master Zhu doesn't know why Mr. Zhu brought you here today."
