Yu Youxi rolled her eyes at her and corrected her: "I wasn't born in Rome, I arrived halfway."
Her father had little achievements in his early years and was not highly educated. However, when she was in high school, his father caught up with the real estate boom and gradually developed. In the past two years, he made friends everywhere for the sake of Can stabilize one's position in the industry.
Therefore, he must go to Master Jing's birthday dinner this time to meet some new friends, which will be helpful to him in the future.
"This kind of birthday party is just for my dad and the others to expand their contacts. I don't understand why he insists on dragging me along." Yu Youxi sat on a chair nearby, speechless. Complaining extremely.
She smiled and said nothing, bent down and began to check whether there was anything wrong with the decorations.
A few seconds later, Yu Youxi remembered something again, stood up and approached her, gossiping: "Twilight, I asked about it last night. Mr. Jing hasn't had a girlfriend in his thirties. What do you think he is?" Such an old man, who is his audience?"
"Maybe someone else has a girlfriend, but they haven't announced it yet, so we don't know about it." Tang Mugui answered casually, moved the flowers at hand, and then added, "Thirty years old is actually not very... old."
After all, the one in her family is also thirty and looks like she is in her mid-twenties.
Yu Youxi heard the protective meaning in her words, and immediately raised his finger to poke her shoulder, teasing: "Oh, I forgot, the audience for this kind of thirty-year-old man is you. ah."
Hearing this, Tang Muzhi glared at her, but didn't say much.
Yu Youxi ignored the warning in her eyes at this moment and started gossiping again, "But I heard from dad and the others that Mr. Jing doesn't seem to like being close to the opposite sex. He doesn't even attend dinner parties. He suddenly held a birthday this time. The banquet is not about a blind date in public, right?"
She said lightly, as if she didn't care about these things, and continued to adjust the layout of the scene.
Yu Youxi followed her footsteps and continued: "In my opinion, Master Jing is just like me, a non-marriage person. After all, living with another person is really annoying. thing."
"I think it's okay." Tang Muzhi raised his eyes to glance at her and expressed his opinion, "As long as you live with the person you love each other, it's a great thing. It’s also good to not disturb each other and treat each other as guests.”
"I don't think it's good." Yu Youxi shook her head with disgust, "Anyway, I think being alone is better than anything else."
Regarding her words, Tang Mu Zhi had no opinion.
After all, if a person is not short of money or love, he will naturally not expect to marry someone and try to get spiritual and material satisfaction from the other person.
Everyone has a different background and sees things from a different perspective. Therefore, their views on marriage are naturally different.
She cannot decide which choice is right or wrong. She can only make the choice she feels is right.
Because this is reality, this is life.
Seeing that she was a little distracted, Yu Youxi stopped continuing the topic and suggested: "Twilight, there will be a fireworks show in the central square at night. I heard that the Jing family prepared it to celebrate New Year's Day and Master Jing's birthday. The scene is It’s huge, let’s go see it when the time comes.”
She frowned and said suspiciously: "Aren't you going to a dinner party tonight? Are you free to go and see it?"
Yu Youxi curled her lips and said nonchalantly: "I just went there with my dad for a formality. After I go there, I will find an excuse to escape early."
"Well, anyway, I don't want to go to my mother's house for dinner tonight. I don't want to disturb the harmonious coexistence of the three of them."
What's more, when she went out this morning, Jing Xiao said that she would be busy at night and would go back very late, so she didn't have to go back so early tonight.
Sensing that her mood had become a little low, Yu Youxi took her arm and comforted her: "It's okay. I'll come over early to accompany you tonight. By the way, I can't help you here this afternoon, so I found it for you. A helper, he will be here in a moment."
"Ah?" She was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and refused, "No, I can handle things here myself."
Knowing what she was worried about, Yu Youxi couldn't help but laugh and joked: "What are you thinking about? That man is my cousin. He is eighteen years old and young and strong. If you have any physical work today, please pay a Just do it.”
Listening to her explanation, Tang Muzhi breathed a sigh of relief, raised his eyebrows and said, "I don't have the money to pay him a salary."
"You don't need a salary, just take care of the food." She waved her hand indifferently.
"Okay then." Now that she had said that, Tang Muzhi was too lazy to refuse.
Half an hour later, Yu Youxi’s cousin Xiang Heng came.
At the age of eighteen, there is a hint of youthfulness on his face, but his smile is sunny and confident.
He was wearing a casual suit, looked energetic, and was very tall, estimated to be over 1.8 meters tall.
"Sister." Xiang Heng walked up to the two of them and called politely.
"Yes." Yu Youxi nodded, and then introduced to him, "This is..."
"Hello, Sister Zhizhi." Before she could finish her words, Xiang Heng was one step ahead of her and called out with a smile.
For a moment, both of them were stunned.
Tang Mugui smiled at Xiang Heng as a greeting.
"Do you know him?" Yu Youxi asked in surprise.
"I went to school to look for you before and met you from a distance." He explained with a smile.
"Oh." Yu Youxi nodded as if she suddenly understood. Then she looked at the time and said, "Okay, I have to leave. You will be responsible for helping her move things today. She is also your sister anyway. Listen to her."
"I know." Xiang Heng responded.
When leaving, she did not forget to tell Tang Muzhi: "If you have anything to do, just tell him, free labor, you're welcome."
Tang Muzhi smiled faintly and said nothing.
Seeing that she had walked away, Xiang Heng finally spoke and asked with a smile: "Sister Zhizhi, what do you want to drink? I'll buy it."
"No." She shook her head and pointed in a direction, "If you are thirsty, there is free water over there."
He glanced along and nodded, "Okay, what do you need me to do now? Do you want to move something?"
"No need for now. We'll wait until the event starts to see if they have any needs. We'll make adjustments then." After saying that, she took the lead and walked aside, but she didn't know that her every move at this moment had been arranged by Jing Xiao. Someone took the photo.
"Sister Zhizhi, did you design all these alone?" Xiang Heng quickly chased after her, asking with a smile on his eyes and brows.
"Yes, this is what I learned. This is enough for a person." She took two bottles of water and handed one of them to him.
While praising her, Xiang Heng handed the unscrewed water to her again, replacing the unopened bottle in her hand.
Tang Muzhi was slightly stunned by his move, but soon she felt that it was nothing. After all, Xiang Heng was Yuzi's cousin. It was reasonable for him to take care of himself and take care of his sister.
In the following time, they kept chatting, talking about design things, which Tang Mu Zhi was interested in, so they had a good time chatting.
The activities in the shopping mall were originally going to end in the afternoon, but because there were so many people present today, the organizers decided to add another performance at the last minute. Therefore, Tang Muzhi could only stay and continue to watch, and it would be a few hours later. Walk.
As night falls, all kinds of gorgeous neon lights light up, making the streets dazzling when the lights are on. In this cold season, a fiery atmosphere envelopes the entire city.
Haicheng Intercontinental Hotel.
Jing Xiao's 30th birthday party will be held here tonight.
Although he tried his best not to participate, in order not to slap his grandfather and the Jing family in the face, he could only be forced to attend.
The atmosphere in the banquet hall gradually became lively, people were laughing and talking, and the aroma of red wine filled the air.
But there was a hint of uneasiness hidden in Jing Xiao's heart, but fortunately, grandma agreed to let him show his face, go through the motions and then go back, so he didn't have to stay here for too long.
After all, he told his grandma that he would celebrate his birthday with Tang Muzhi tonight. Although this was a lie, he had no choice but to leave this hellish place as soon as possible.
Today's dinner was a big event, and all the guests were the rich and powerful in Haicheng. Jing Xiao immediately noticed the woman sitting in the corner who was silent and frequently lost her temper.
Immediately, he walked towards her and said, "Auntie, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so bad?"
Jing Yanli raised his eyes to look at him and shook his head, "It's okay, I just have a slight cold recently."
Since his mother passed away when he was a child, most of the maternal love Jing Xiao has felt came from his aunt. Therefore, in the Jing family, in addition to listening to his grandparents, he also cares about his aunt the most.
"Then let me send you to have a rest." As he said that, he motioned to the people beside him.
Jing Yanli held his arm to stop him, "Axiao, I'm fine. Your dad is over there. Come over quickly."
"He has no time to talk to me tonight. Half of the people in Haicheng have been summoned by him. I'm afraid he will be surrounded on three floors and three floors outside." Jing Xiao said with some boredom, with disgust in his eyes. Without any secret, "Look at today's scene, it doesn't look like it's my birthday. For those who don't know, he's getting married."
Hearing this, Jing Yanli frowned and advised earnestly: "Axiao, no matter what, she got the certificate with your father and gave birth to a child, so..."
"So should I accept her?" Jing Xiao interrupted her and snorted coldly, "Auntie, you want me to accept a murderer who destroyed other people's families and killed my mother, right?"
Upon hearing this, Jing Yanli pursed his lips and said nothing, his eyes full of helplessness.
When talking about his mother, Jing Xiao became a little emotional. He took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and changed the topic, "I'd better have someone help you take a rest."
Jing Yanli sighed softly, nodded, then let others support him and left the banquet hall.
