Chapter 32 Liangqing
Su Yan was unconvinced, and her small emotions became more and more flooded, and she blurted out in a hurry: “You have tried so hard to celebrate other women’s birthdays, why can’t I find a boyfriend?”
Bai Xingfan was helpless and reiterated: “I didn’t bother to celebrate her birthday, I came to sign the contract.”
Su Yan glared at him: “You even changed the car, haven’t you tried your best?”
Bai Xingfan: “…”
Su Yan: “You even prepared a gift for her! Do you need a gift to sign a contract?”
Bai Xingfan stared at her for a while, then suddenly raised the corner of his lips: “Is Miss Su jealous?”
Su Yan’s cheeks became hot: “I don’t!” She quickly turned her face to the window to prevent him from seeing her reddened cheeks, but the roots of her ears that had started to redden completely exposed her Embarrassed.
The smile in Bai Xingfan’s eyes became more intense, but his voice was as calm as ever: “Miss Su don’t want to know what I gave her?”
Su Yan: “I don’t want to! It has nothing to do with me!”
Bai Xingfan sighed lightly, with a bit of regret in his tone: “I originally wanted to ask Miss Su’s opinion on fireworks, but since Miss Su is not interested, then forget it.”
Su Yan: “…”
What’s the meaning?
He also prepared a fireworks for that woman?
A strong sense of grievance instantly filled my heart—
She thought that the fireworks he gave her was unique. Who knew that it was a little trick that everyone had a share in, just to coax her to play, but she regarded his little trick as a treasure.
Suddenly I felt like a mindless idiot.
Su Yan’s nose suddenly became sour, her eyes also became hot, and tears fell unsatisfactorily.
Bai Xingfan wanted to play a joke on her, but unexpectedly made her cry, and instantly panicked: “I’m teasing you!” He quickly took out the handkerchief from the pocket on the left front of the suit – in the For many years in the past, suits and handkerchiefs were only decorations for him, but he did not expect that they would become a daily necessity after arriving at her – he reached out and tried to wipe her tears: “I didn’t prepare fireworks for her.”
However, Su Yan pushed his arm away, and wiped away her tears with her hands.
Bai Xingfan frowned, so anxious that he forgot to put his left hand holding the handkerchief in the air, pursing his lips and thinking for a while, he swore to her: “I will only set off fireworks for you in this life. ”
Su Yan sniffed and didn’t turn her head to look at him: “No, I don’t like watching fireworks either.”
Bai Xingfan lowered his arms helplessly, looking at her with an anxious expression: “She and I are really just ordinary friends, the reason for changing cars is because I want the driver to pick you up in that car, you are used to that car. car.”
Su Yan’s little emotions were finally appeased a little, but it was only a little, so he still ignored him.
Bai Xingfan continued to explain: “I didn’t give her any special gifts, just a bottle of perfume.”
Su Yan thought to herself: You kind of know what women like.
The little mood that had just been soothed suddenly fluctuated again.
She bit her lower lip unhappily, making up her mind to ignore him.
Bai Xingfan was completely out of ideas, his beautiful eyebrows were slightly frowning, and he looked at her anxiously and helplessly.
Su Yan kept looking out of the car window.
At this time, the car had already traveled along the road around the mountain to the halfway up the mountain, and the scenery outside the window gradually changed. It was no longer a shadowy mass of darkness. In the lush mountain forest, a soft light was faintly revealed, but Su Yan did not. The source of the light could not be seen, because her vision was blocked by high walls and slender bamboos outside the walls.
Judging from the rough outline, these walls enclosed a huge courtyard, but she couldn’t see or guess what was inside the courtyard.
Along with the driving of the vehicle, a forest garden in the mountain was dropped down the mountain, and then another forest garden in the mountain appeared in the field of vision. The top of the high wall still shone with light, and the soft color illuminated the green brick wall. Diva, looks quite ancient.
Su Yan knew very well what these courtyards were and what the walls were like, but she hadn’t calmed down yet, so she would rather hold back than ask Bai Xingfan.
“Shanyinxuan has four main gardens.” Bai Xingfan seemed to have guessed what she was thinking, and took the initiative to introduce her: “The bottom one is the Chrysanthemum Garden, and the top one is the Maozhu Garden, Zhilan Garden, Wangmei Garden. We are going to Wangmei Garden now.”
Su Yan understood that the name of the clubhouse, Shanyinxuan, is because it is hidden in the mountains and forests, avoiding the hustle and bustle of the world, and the environment is extremely quiet and elegant; although the area is vast, there are only four courtyards. The ups and downs of the garden are arranged from high to low, named after the four gentlemen of “Plum, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum”, and the highest courtyard is Meiyuan.
Does that mean that there are only four banquets at most a day here?
With such high specifications and strict security measures, the price must be very high, right? The Wangmei Garden at the highest point must be the most expensive.
No need to think about it, the guests who can be invited to this birthday banquet must be rich or expensive, just look at the brothers Bai Xingfan and Bai Xinglan. The identity level of the host who held this birthday banquet will not be too low. After all, people in the same class gather together, and only people in the same class can play together.
Su Yan’s heart suddenly felt a sense of embarrassment: all the guests who came here tonight must be dressed up to attend, men’s suits, and women’s evening dresses, only worthy of such a high-end place.
Looking at the casual shirt skirt and little white shoes she was wearing, she really wanted to disappear in place: why would she be so embarrassed to enter the arena? Even if it doesn’t fit in with everyone, it still looks very out of class.
And she didn’t put on makeup properly today—after the finale, she went back to the hotel to take a shower, and then took her luggage to see Yao Anan—due to the lack of time, she only put on makeup before going out. No makeup or anything, just a layer of lipstick.
After one afternoon, the lipstick is estimated to be gone.
The more she thought about it, the more she resisted, and she especially regretted getting into Bai Xingfan’s car. She didn’t want to lose her own people, nor did she want to embarrass him, and she didn’t want to be seen by everyone in Wangmeiyuan that she was not worthy of him.
Su Yan clenched her fists subconsciously, and suddenly said, “I never said I would go to the birthday party with you. Just let me get off the bus when passing by Zhuyuan. I’m going to Zhuyuan to find someone.”
Bai Xingfan: “Who are you looking for?”
Su Yan didn’t want to talk to him so much: “Xinglan knows, and she called and asked for us.”
Bai Xingfan knew that this was not the real reason why she didn’t want to go. After thinking for a moment, he said, “I’m missing a female companion. I hope Miss Su can help me by showing her face.”
Su Yan showed no mercy: “Why should I help you?”
Bai Xingfan’s face did not change: “Just treat me as a favor?”
Su Yan was stunned for a moment, and looked at him vaguely.
Bai Xingfan looked serious: “If Miss Su is willing to help me with this, after tonight, you and I will clear things up.”
Su Yan: “…”
She didn’t know why his attitude changed so quickly, but it was obviously a good thing, at least she didn’t have to worry that she would go deeper and deeper, but she was not happy at all, not even a trace of relief Not at all, but felt very blocked, even sad, especially for the last sentence he said “you and I are clear”.
Pursing her lips, she couldn’t help but ask, “What do you mean?”
Bai Xingfan looked calm: “If Miss Su doesn’t want to continue like this, I will definitely not continue to disturb you from tomorrow.”
Su Yan remained silent.
Bai Xingfan looked at her calmly, and asked again, “What do you think of Miss Su?”
Su Yan knew that she had no reason to reject him, but she did not agree to him directly, hesitated for a moment, and asked, “My dress today is not suitable for this occasion, do you mind?”
Bai Xingfan probably understood her concerns: “Of course I don’t mind.”
Su Yan has no second choice: “Okay, I promise you.”
Bai Xingfan slightly nodded: “Thank you very much, Miss Su.”
Su Yan: “Just remember what you said.”
Bai Xingfan: “Be sure to keep it in mind.”
Su Yan didn’t speak anymore, didn’t look at him anymore, and continued to look out the window.
Not long after, the black Rolls-Royce stopped in front of Wang Meiyuan’s gate. Before getting off the car, Su Yan was hesitant to apply makeup, but then she thought: Bai Xingfan doesn’t feel ashamed, what am I afraid of? Anyway, no one knows me, even if I lose him!
After figuring it out, Su Yan simply broke the can and got out of the car without any scruples.
Bai Xinglan and Yao An’an’s car followed closely behind their car. Bai Xingfan and Bai Xinglan both have drivers, so after they got off the car, the driver drove the car away; Yao Anan had no driver, but the club provided a professional parking attendant. The waiter in blue uniform walked over to her car.
Su Yan and Bai Xingfan had been standing not far ahead waiting for the two of them. After seeing Yao An’an getting off the car, Su Yan subconsciously wanted to find her, but who knew that she had just opened a leg when Bai Xingfan’s voice was heard. From the side came: “Where is Miss Su going?”
Su Yan paused in her footsteps and replied helplessly, “Go find my friend. I can’t leave her alone, can I?”
Bai Xingfan was noncommittal: “Xinglan will take good care of her.”
Su Yan frowned slightly: “What do you mean?”
Bai Xingfan: “Miss Su is my female companion.”
Su Yan: “So what?”
Bai Xingfan is beyond doubt: “So you can only follow me tonight.”
Su Yan: “…”
Are you not hegemonic?
She was not convinced: “Why?”
Bai Xingfan: “Miss Ping Su wants to clear things up with me.”
Su Yan was speechless.
To put it bluntly, this is a deal. As long as she is his girlfriend tonight, he will not come to her again from tomorrow.
Therefore, his request was reasonable and she could not refute it.
After Bai Xinglan led Yao An’an over, the four of them walked to Wangmei Garden together.
After getting closer, Su Yan found out that the garden gate here is also built with an ancient charm. It adopts the standard Ruyi gate architectural form. Although it is not as magnificent as the golden pillar gate, it is still elegant, especially the lintel. At first glance, the carved bricks above are from the hands of master sculptors, and the branches of cold plums in the snow carved on them are vivid and vivid.
There were two waitresses standing at the door, dressed in uniform: light blue cheongsam, white high heels; the hairstyle was also the same: the long black hair was tied in a bun at the back of the head.
The two waitresses are responsible for verifying the invitation letter, so that guests do not go to the wrong courtyard.
After verifying Bai Xingfan’s identity, the two waitresses bowed and nodded towards him and Su Yan at the same time, with a respectful voice: “Please come in.”
After passing through the door, they entered Wangmei Garden. Only then did Su Yan fully understand what Bai Xinglan had just said, “This place is different from other hotels and clubs”.
There is nothing in the yard.
Before walking in, she imagined that the first thing that caught her eye should be a Chinese-style courtyard, with rockery and waterside pavilions delicately distributed. After passing through the courtyard, there was a Chinese-style villa where everyone gathered and talked.
After walking in, Su Yan realized that her imagination was far inferior to the designers who built it.
What the designer built was not a Chinese-style mansion, but a microcosm of an ancient town in the south of the Yangtze River—
The first thing that catches the eye is a pond. On the right side of the pond is a long corridor. On the eaves of the corridor, a lantern is hung every few meters for lighting. Behind the corridor is a row of blue tile houses. It is made of pineapple wood, which is carved with exquisite decorative patterns.
Green silk weeping willows are planted on the left bank of the pond, and beyond that is a flat ground covered with bluestone slabs. There are many mahogany tables arranged at intervals on the ground, each table is equipped with four mahogany chairs, and an antique lamp is placed on the table. Small lamps and a set of blue and white porcelain teapots and tea sets are provided for guests to chat and rest.
There are two bluestone bridges connecting the two sides of the pond, one is a small arched bridge on the side, and the other is a flat bridge with a slender width in the middle at both ends of the pond.
The bridges of the two bridges and the pond are surrounded by a circle of bright yellow lights, and there are also lights hidden in the willow trees on the shore. At first glance, the lights are bright, but the temperature is not hot, but cool, because This place is located in the forest, and it is night, even if it is outside, it is very comfortable.
Compared with five-star hotels and regular high-end clubs, the atmosphere here is definitely not luxurious, but it is elegant and unique.
The four of them came late. Whether it was on the corridor on the other side or at the adjacent mahogany table, there were many men and women chatting, laughing and chatting. Su Yan was surprised to find that the men who came here were basically wearing high-end suits, and the women were wearing high-end suits. Bing did not wear evening dresses, but all kinds of cheongsams.
Compared with the evening dress, the cheongsam is indeed more suitable for the occasion, and the combination of the suit and the cheongsam has a feeling of returning to the period of the Republic of China, which can not help but shine.
Su Yan had to admit that she liked it very much. She only hated that she didn’t wear a cheongsam today, otherwise she would not be as embarrassed as she is now, but fortunately, the guests were drinking tea and chatting, and no one noticed her for the time being.
However, it was raining overnight. I don’t know which eagle-eyed guest it was. At a glance, he caught sight of Bai Xingfan, who had just entered the venue, and then shouted, “Yo, Mr. Bai is here.”
His voice was not loud, but it was like a gust of wind, which instantly blew the guests sitting around him.
Those men and women stopped talking one after another, gradually turned their faces, and turned their eyes towards them. They first looked at Bai Xingfan, and soon noticed Su Yan beside him, and surprise flashed in their eyes first, and then turned into scrutiny and exploration.
If it was a look like this, Su Yan would have ignored it, but all eyes were like this, she couldn’t turn a blind eye, and suddenly she felt like a monkey for people to watch.
She was suddenly overwhelmed, her cheeks began to heat uncontrollably, and she was extremely embarrassed.
At this moment, Bai Xingfan suddenly embraced her waist: “Don’t be nervous.”
His voice was very gentle, with a soothing strength.
Su Yan felt a little better, but it was only a little bit, because with his movements, more and more people turned their attention, and she became the focus of the audience in an instant.
Although it was embarrassing, in order not to embarrass herself, she tried her best to maintain a calm, straight back, and calmly responded to everyone’s gaze.
“You did a great job.” Bai Xingfan’s compliment sounded in her ear at the right time, “Very graceful.”
Su Yanton was a little complacent, his self-confidence increased, and his eyes became sparkling.
How is it like a child? Bai Xingfan couldn’t help laughing: “Keep going.”
Su Yan nodded slightly: “Yeah.” But she didn’t get too confident, turned her face, looked up at him, and asked in a low voice, “Why are they all looking at me?”
Bai Xingfan: “I don’t know either.”
His tone was very calm, but Su Yan didn’t believe it at all.
At this moment, a young woman wearing a dark green cheongsam walked over from a distance and stepped into Su Yan’s line of sight—
She was wearing a pair of white high-heeled shoes, her ankles exposed under the skirt were fair and slender, and the slim long cheongsam fit her curvy figure just right. Accompanying her swaying steps, the black curly hair that fell on her shoulders shrugged slightly It is in harmony with the full red lips, and there is an indescribable beauty and **** between the temperament and the appearance.
After walking in front of them, the woman gave Bai Xingfan a generous smile: “Mr. Bai, you are here.”
Bai Xingfan: “Sorry, I took some time on the road.”
Su Yan knew in her heart that the one who was wasting his time was herself.
The woman’s eyes rolled around, she turned her gaze to Su Yan, and joked, “I really didn’t expect that Mr. Bai would bring a female companion.”
Bai Xingfan: “A friend.”
The woman smiled and asked, “Isn’t it an ordinary friend?”
Bai Xingfan looked down at Su Yan with a helpless smile on his face: “I dare not say it, for fear of making Miss Su angry.”
Su Yan: “…”
what do you mean?
Makes me seem so hard to serve.
In order to save face, she didn’t change her face, and replied lukewarmly, “Why should I be angry?”
Bai Xingfan was noncommittal, sighed softly, and looked at the woman again: “Let’s talk about business first.”
“Okay.” The woman turned slightly and stretched out her arms in the direction of the stone bridge, “Please.”
Bai Xingfan first looked at his younger brother and told him, “Take care of them.” Then he specifically said to Su Yan, “I’ll be right back.” Then he let go of her and walked to the stone bridge with the beautiful woman. There was a lively conversation all the way.
Looking at the backs of them leaving side by side, Su Yan suddenly had a little emotion in her heart: Didn’t you say that I should only be by your side tonight? Now that you have dumped me and left with other women, what should I do?
