Chapter 64

On October 7th, Xu Youyou’s eighteenth birthday.

Somewhere on the outskirts of the capital, in a private manor covering an area of ​​about 4,000 square meters, there are people coming and going and lanterns at this moment, which is completely different from the usual quiet and loneliness.

This manor, included in the eighteen real estate certificates, was also one of Xu Wenyin’s birthday gifts to Xu Youyou.

Compared with the real large manor that occupies tens of thousands of square meters and is calculated directly by mu, this may not be that big, but for Xu Youyou, the area is never her standard for measuring gifts, as long as it is given by her mother. , she likes it all!

When Qin Yiren brought Xu Youyou to visit this manor yesterday, she was really amazed.

The manor was bought last year. It has an ancient garden design in Huaguo, and its appearance is simple and elegant. It truly achieves one scene in ten steps, one painting in one hundred steps, small bridges, ponds, pavilions, etc. The moment you walk into it, you seem to have traveled through time and space in an instant.

Because Xu Wenyin had already discussed with Qin Yiren, Xu Youyou’s coming-of-age ceremony will be held here, so the manor has been in the process of preparation since last year, and it was finally officially completed a month ago.

Qin Yiren also spent most of the month in the manor, checking to see if there was anything missing or missing.

Even if these assistants can do it, she just doesn’t feel relieved, and feels that she still needs to check it herself.

Now, everything seems to be going well.

Seeing Xu Youyou jumping up and down with joy and holding herself around in circles, Qin Yiren’s smile became even brighter.

But in the deepest part of my heart, there is still a trace of regret.

If only Wen Yin was there.

The thought flashed by, and Qin Yiren pressed it hard.

Today is such a happy day, don’t bring up this sad thing.

Youyou must have hoped that her mother would come back more than she did, but… where did Wen Yin go?

People seem to have completely evaporated. The Qin family and the Qing family have already expanded their search beyond Huaguo, and there is still no news of Xu Wenyin.

Now I can only comfort myself that no bad news is good news.

Qin Yiren smiled again, ready to meet the guests who came one after another.

For this birthday, not only the Qin Yi people who were originally in the capital came, but also Liu Miaomiao, Qian Xin and their parents who were studying abroad.

Xu Youyou even invited some classmates. She was very grateful to these classmates for their care and maintenance. Since it is a rare and meaningful birthday, of course, the more lively the better.

Moreover, Xu Youyou also emphasized that there is no need to prepare gifts, as long as people arrive, she is not afraid that others will think that she is showing off her wealth.

“Rich woman! Please take me to fly!”

When the pick-up car had just put everyone down, Wei Xinmiao was the first to say, “Do you think I can be a little idiot? The one who went to college, runs when it rains, and can eat by himself!”

Xu Youyou was amused: “Okay, why don’t you line up to sign up first? I’ll see when I can pick it up.”

“Hahahaha.” The other classmates laughed when they heard it, like Li Xiaodie, who also raised their hands: “Then I want to sign up too!”

After getting along for more than a month, the few who have long been familiar with each other can no longer be familiar with each other, and it is useless to get along with those who do not. , a poor mouth is nothing at all.

Fortunately, Yoyo’s eyesight is not bad. Even if her classmate saw such a place, she was just astonished, without some messy expression.

In the eyes of Qin Yiren on the side, she felt more at ease.

But this is because Qin Yiren is too worried, and treats Yoyo as a child, she is not that vulnerable at all.

What if you look in the wrong eye for a while? It’s a pity that it’s over in a while.

After all, her mother had taught her long ago not to be sad for those who are not worth it. She still has so many people who love her.

Then the group walked towards the main house under the leadership of Xu Youyou. The birthday party officially started at six o’clock in the evening, and there are still more than three hours. Everyone can stroll around first.

Anyway, today is Saturday, and the guest rooms are already ready. It doesn’t matter if everyone stays overnight. Of course, there will be a car to pick you up if you want to go back, so don’t worry.

Afterwards, Xu Youyou handed the classmates to a special servant to take them to play. This manor is not only beautiful and quaint, but in fact there are recreational places such as a video game room and a movie room.

Tired people can also go directly to the lounge, and there are services such as massage and foot bath, which are guaranteed to satisfy you.

In short, let alone three hours, you will not get tired of playing for a day.

And Xu Youyou needs to prepare for the “sparkling debut” later. This time her clothes were specially designed by Qin Yiren according to the environment of the manor.

The ancient style is integrated with modern elements, which is not abrupt and can highlight Xu Youyou’s clear and lively temperament.

Xu Youyou fell in love at the first sight.

But clothes alone are not enough, and matching accessories, hairstyles, makeup, etc. are also necessary. As the most important protagonist today, Xu Youyou naturally cannot slack off on any details.

Qin Yiren also felt that three hours was too short. If some noble ladies were going to attend an important banquet, they would start taking action in the morning.

Guaranteed to have every strand of hair sparkling from head to toe.

“Roll!”

At 5:30 in the afternoon, Xu Youyou was doing her final makeup when she happened to see Lu Chenjun who pushed the door and came in in the mirror.

“Wow~” she exclaimed.

If it weren’t for the inconvenience of turning around now, Xu Youyou would have stepped forward to look at Lu Chenjun, who had changed his style.

Probably due to cleanliness, Lu Chenjun used to prefer light-colored or even white clothes, and did not like complicated patterns. His style was mainly casual and simple.

But today, seeing in the mirror a rare friend in a suit and tie, Xu Youyou suddenly had an unrecognizable illusion.

There was even a strange sense of relief that “my family has grown up with a child”.

The suit on Lu Chenjun’s body was also designed by Qin Yiren. Compared with the traditional suit, there are many more floral elements on it, such as the embroidery of the crane and auspicious clouds on the side of the clothes and the jade cuffs, which further highlights the cool temperament of Lu Chenjun himself.

But it won’t look cold, but instead has a jade-like warmth.

A few months ago, on his eighteenth birthday, Lu Chenjun didn’t look so formal and beautiful today!

“Wait a minute so you can take a look.”

Lu Chenjun looked at Xu Youyou’s glances, and stopped her with a little humor in her heart: “You will have to start all over again when the makeup is over.”

This sentence can be considered to restrain Xu Youyou.

God knows she almost fell asleep just now, okay?

Originally, Qin Yi and Liu Miaomiao were still chatting with her, but as the time was almost up, they both went to prepare.

Fortunately, the scroll came over to stimulate her brain, otherwise it would be embarrassing to fall asleep in front of the makeup artist.

“Volume, how’s it going outside?”

Since you can’t look around, you can only chat.

Xu Youyou was really curious about what was going on outside, but Aunt Qin refused to say anything more mysteriously.

Even she was pulled back when she wanted to enter the main hall before, saying that it was to be kept secret.

“Secret.”

Lu Chenjun’s simple words successfully captured Xu Youyou’s sad eyes.

But it’s obviously impossible for her to give up so easily, and then Xu Youyou said in a sweet and greasy voice: “Eh-is it really not at all? But I’m so curious~ Curly!”

Lu Chenjun: “…”

Over the years, he felt that he also had some resistance to Xu Youyou’s coquetry.

Well, that’s right.

next second.

Lu Chenjun turned his head and stopped looking at Xu Youyou: “It’s a surprise, I can’t say it now.”

Xu Youyou continued: “I won’t tell Aunt Qin that you said it, just tell me a little bit~”

Lu Chenjun got up with a swipe.

Sensing the smiling gazes of the people next to him, he chose to… run away!

Yes, even if the footsteps are steady and the speed is not fast, Lu Chenjun’s back at this moment has a feeling of fleeing.

Until the door was closed, the makeup artist who made Xu Youyou finally couldn’t help laughing.

“Miss Xu, was that your boyfriend just now?”

This makeup artist was specially invited by Qin Yiren. She had never served the Qin family before, so she didn’t know Lu Chenjun, nor did she know his relationship with Xu Youyou.

Just seeing the way the two young people get along, the makeup artist’s first reaction is that they are a young couple.

“Why do you say that?”

Xu Youyou neither denied nor affirmed, but asked the makeup artist suspiciously.

Before Lu Chenjun came, Qian Xin and Liu Yanzhi both visited her for a while. They were also similar in age and talented, but the makeup artist didn’t ask anything similar.

And the reason why Xu Youyou chose to ask questions is that this is not the first time she and Juan Juan have been teased like this.

Is there really something she didn’t find that needs to be cleared up by bystanders?

The makeup artist was taken aback: “Isn’t it? I’m sorry I made a blunder.”

Generally speaking, if it was Xu Youyou under normal circumstances, she should skip this topic at this moment and talk about other things casually, but this time, she rarely used her “high emotional intelligence” and continued to ask questions.

It seemed that the answer was important to her.

“Sister, is it because of the chat atmosphere just now? We have known each other for fifteen years, and we are indeed very familiar.”

The makeup artist has seen a lot of people of all shapes and sizes. As soon as he heard Xu Youyou’s words, he understood what the little girl was struggling with.

It turned out to be a childhood sweetheart, no wonder…

She really thinks that Lu Chenjun and Xu Youyou are a good match. The atmosphere of the two of them can’t help but raise the corners of their mouths when they chat. Anyone who has experienced it will not think that it is only because they have known each other for a long time.

There is also that young man who is usually quiet and indifferent at first glance, but he looked at Miss Xu with a very gentle look.

“Miss Xu.” The makeup artist looked at the beautiful young girl in front of her, as if she had returned to her green years, that kind of ignorant and beautiful love, even though she is now in her thirties, she can’t help it… Want to knock!

“Emotionally, I think I actually have the most say.” The makeup artist gently blushes Xu Youyou: “I believe you already have the answer in your heart.”

Otherwise, why insist on asking her about this stranger?

Xu Youyou fell silent for a while, does she already have an answer?

For Xu Youyou, Lu Chenjun is his first friend, a bamboo horse and a goal.

Because she really thinks that Lu Chenjun is very powerful, she seems to be able to do anything as long as she is willing to do it.

Xu Youyou didn’t want to be left behind by her friends, and she didn’t want to comfort herself with peace of mind. Lu Chenjun was born with a higher IQ than her, so her efforts were useless.

Just like Xu Youyou never thought that since Lu Chenjun was smarter than them, he should leave everything to him.

So why?

Why is she so obsessed with scrolls?

Xu Youyou remembered Scroll No. 1 and No. 2 by his bedside, No. 3 and No. 4 in the glass cabinet, and so on.

He also remembered his heartbeat that suddenly accelerated when Lu Chenjun came in.

And every time she teased Juanjuan in a wicked way, she was really happy to see him helplessly and compromised.

Will Xu Youyou do this to others?

Will not.

Yes, she already had the answer, didn’t she?

Roll roll, and other small partners are not the same.

Is she different for Scroll too?

“Miss Xu, it’s alright.”

Following the make-up artist’s gentle voice, Xu Youyou slowly opened her eyes and looked at the girl in the mirror who was herself but not her.

“Beautiful!” she murmured.

This is the first time Xu Youyou has spent so much time on makeup, but the effect is unprecedented.

Xu Youyou’s beauty is recognized, even if she doesn’t wear makeup, she is a natural beauty that can make people shine, and makeup highlights Xu Youyou’s advantages even more, which is the icing on the cake.

“Wow, who is this little fairy?”

It happened that Qin Yiren appeared in the dressing room as if stuck in time.

She also put on a formal evening dress at this time, her curly hair was gently coiled, and her eyes were engraved with joy, as if the years had also treated this great beauty with special care.

“It’s beautiful Yoyo~”

Xu Youyou got up, smiled and turned slowly in front of Qin Yiren, the corner of her skirt was like a blooming petal in an instant, elegant and beautiful.

Xu Youyou thought to herself that on this special day today, her mother will definitely look at her from the sky, so she must be happy and show her beautifully.

Look, Mom, Yoyo has grown up, and she will be a reliable adult in the future!

“Then ask this beautiful Miss Youyou, would you like to come with me?”

In the absence of Xu Wenyin, Qin Yiren naturally assumed the role of mother.

When she took Xu Youyou and appeared in front of everyone step by step, the applause and smile at that moment were enough to make the atmosphere of the whole manor lively.

Xu Youyou finally saw Qin Yiren’s arrangement without telling them.

It is a road paved with flowers, photos and dolls.

From the age of three, Xu Youyou took photos with everyone, she took photos alone, and there were so-called art photos that were very popular at that time.

Walking on this road, you can witness with your own eyes a small dumpling grow into a slim and beautiful girl.

Along the way, it’s all memories.

At the end of the road is another gift that Xu Wenyin had prepared for Xu Youyou long ago, but was unable to give in person.

A sword.

A real sharp sword.

Compared with the props in the TV series, this sword has a coldness in its workmanship and appearance, and a domineering weapon unique to it!

“Wen Yin once told me.” Qin Yiren held up the sword in both hands and came to Xu Youyou: “She hoped that you could be like a sword at the beginning, and it would never bend even if you tried hard, but…”

Qin Yiren paused for a second: “Wen Yin quickly denied what she just said with a smile.”

“I think about it.” At that time, Xu Wenyin, who got the sword, showed a gentle smile on her face: “Forget it, my Yoyo still doesn’t need to work so hard.”

“I just hope that no matter what difficulties she encounters, she won’t give up, just have the courage to break through it.”

No matter whether she is around or not, no matter how bad the surrounding environment is, Xu Wenyin only hopes that even if she is the only one left, she will have the courage to break out of the siege and never give up the life she wants.

That’s what this mother meant by giving her daughter a sword on her eighteenth birthday.

It’s just a pity that now it’s only recounted by Qin Yiren himself.

Knowing that Xu Wenyin’s mother Liu and the others saw this scene, their hearts could not help but feel sour.

What a pair of mother and daughter, Wen Yin must have prepared a gift so carefully and wanted to give it to Yoyo in person, but it happened!

God can be a **** sometimes!

Looking at the sword in Qin Yiren’s hand, Xu Youyou took it carefully.

The sword was not light, but she did not shake at all, and the smile on her face also did not diminish, but if you look closely, you can see that Xu Youyou’s eyes were slightly red, but she quickly held back.

Today is a happy day, she can’t cry, the mother in the sky is still watching her!

“I will.” Xu Youyou nodded: “I will remember what my mother said.”

Be a brave, confident adult who is not afraid of any difficulties!

After that, the happy birthday party officially began, with a six-tiered cake, a loud birthday song, gifts from the elders and blessings from friends and so on.

Lively and happy.

There was no politeness, no falsehood and no condescension, and everyone had a sincere smile on their faces at this moment.

– Mom, did you see that? Yoyo is very happy today, you must take good care of your injury, come and see Yoyo soon!

After her birthday, Xu Youyou took the time to get her driver’s license non-stop.

After all, the car sent by Uncle Qing can’t make it moldy in the basement.

After slipping away, I stopped by Qin’s house for dinner.

Qin’s father and Qin’s mother have met Yoyo many times for a long time, and they can’t be familiar with each other any more. They also like this smart, beautiful and cheerful little girl.

Thinking that Qin Xiao is still unmarried, and his only grandson is dull.

Fortunately, Xu Youyou didn’t think they were too old, and occasionally chatted with them to relieve their boredom, otherwise the second old man would really be bored to death.

Since Xu Youyou came to Qin’s house today, not only Qin Yiren was there, but Qin Xiao also temporarily put down work and went home for dinner.

There are not so many rules at the Qin family’s dinner table. Listening to the younger generation talking about what happened recently is the favorite of Qin’s parents and Qin’s mother.

Chatting and chatting, the two of them remembered what happened to Xu Youyou and Lu Haoyu before. Now that Lu Haoyu has been released for almost a month, they don’t know what’s going on.

Xu Youyou swallowed the food in his mouth: “He, I haven’t seen him before, so he should know that I’m not easy to mess with, right?”

If Lu Haoyu dared to show up, she would call the police again! I’m in a hurry, as my mother said, beat me! One meal is not enough to beat two!

Moreover, University A has also blacklisted this person, and the security guards will not let Lu Haoyu in.

“Ah Xiao, where are you?”

Qin’s father looked at Qin Xiao. He knew that the Qin family and the Qing family dealt with the Lu family, and also learned of Lu Haoyu’s “good luck” from Qin Xiao’s mouth.

During this period of time, the Qin family has appreciated a lot with those projects.

“That Lu Haoyu.” Qin Xiao put down his chopsticks, he didn’t want to say it in front of Xu Youyou, but when he thinks that the little girl is an adult, some things should be counted, at least Lu Haoyu should be more guarded, so think about it said.

“It’s really for the purpose, unscrupulous.”

After being robbed of projects in a row, Lu Haoyu also knew that if it was purely for contacts or assets, the Lu family would definitely not be able to compete with the Qing family and the Qin family.

Therefore, Lu Haoyu, who has won the true inheritance of Mr. Lu, chose some unpopular tricks, such as immortal dancing and creating some “accidents”.

Because there is no handle related to Lu Haoyu for the time being, the three companies are also in a stalemate on some projects.

It’s not that Qin Xiao and Qing Yixing are useless, it’s just that investigating some things takes time.

And they still have a bottom line, and they disdain to use this kind of legal means to grab projects.

Even if you think you are doing it flawlessly, who can guarantee that it will never overturn over time? Once the car overturns, it is really a waste.

And although doing business has always been a winner and a loser, but with Lu Haoyu’s character, who would dare to be a real friend with him in the future? Abandoning the future for the sake of temporary interests, this Lu Haoyu is half useless.

“Is there a big project tomorrow?” Qin Yiren said, “It would be a little troublesome if the Lu family got it.”

Qin Xiao nodded: “Don’t worry, even if he gets it, your brother hasn’t been a fool all these years.”

It’s just that this Lu Haoyu is really evil, as if God is helping the Lu family rise.

“Uncle Qin.” Xu Youyou suddenly looked at Qin Xiao: “I have an idea, although it is a little immoral.”

“Huh? Come and listen?”

Qin Xiao still doesn’t know Xu Youyou, her so-called immorality is probably not a conspiracy in a place like shopping malls.

“That’s right, I think Uncle Qin, you can use money to buy Yao Yunyu, let her pretend to be sick tomorrow, or find a reason, so that Lu Haoyu will not be able to come back for two days after going abroad for the time being.”

In such a big project, the presence or absence of the big BOSS is a very critical item.

And based on Xu Youyou’s understanding of Lu Haoyu, can such a conceited person really train a subordinate who can take care of himself? Maybe he thought that the Lu family was enough for him.

As for Yao Yunyu, from the investigation data and Gu Weiyi’s affairs, Xu Youyou can feel that this person has no feelings for Lu Haoyu, and is more of a use.

Her ambition made her only want to reach the top by herself. Men are probably pawns in Yao Yunyu’s mind, so she can do whatever it takes to do so.

Xu Youyou did not comment on this kind of thinking and behavior, but she felt that Yao Yunyu would definitely prefer to have money and resources in her hands, rather than desperately grabbing Lu Haoyu to get resources and money.

Moreover, as long as this kind of thing is done well, it will not affect her relationship with Lu Haoyu at all.

Mother Qin smiled when she heard the words: “Such an important project is not a matter of life and death. No matter how much Lu Haoyu likes that girl, it won’t matter too much, right?”

However, just after she finished saying this, she found that Qin Xiao and Qin Yiren were thinking at the same time.

A few seconds later, Qin Xiao said first: “This method may be feasible.”

Qin Yiren followed suit: “Yes, you can give it a try. After all, this Lu Haoyu, like his father, is a love brain!”

Qin’s father and Qin’s mother were puzzled at the same time.

Is it because they are old and don’t understand the world of young people?

Is this so-called love brain such a powerful existence?
