Xu Huanshan only talks tough when he's hot-headed, but when he calms down, he becomes timid without Gu Jia having to do anything.
"Honey, I was wrong the other day. I shouldn't have spoken to you like that."
"I was wrong too. I shouldn't have dragged you to talk about so many things just after you came back."
Don't give face to the monk, give face to the Buddha. Xu Huanshan came to apologize to Gu Jia while holding Xu Ziyan.
"Then don't be angry, I will feel bad. Honey, your birthday is in a week. It's your 30th birthday, I want to hold a birthday party for you and invite all our relatives and friends to wish you a happy birthday together."
Holding his son and looking at his wife, Xu Huanshan's mind was very clear at this moment. I am a man with a family.
“Is it necessary to hold a birthday party?”
"It's necessary. When we got married, we had no money and the wedding was very simple. Now that conditions are better and it's such a special day, I want to give you the best memories."
"Honey, you are so kind."
Life needs a sense of ritual, and Gu Jia is the kind of woman who spares no effort to pursue a refined life. How could he refuse Xu Huanshan's proposal?
.........
one week later
Yiqinyuan Resort
Gu Jia’s birthday party was held here. For this party, Xu Huanshan specially put down his work and prepared for a long time.
In addition to the couple’s relatives and friends, those who received the invitation also included the fireworks company’s clients in Shanghai and friends in Mrs. Gu Jia’s circle.
"Gu Jia, happy birthday..."
"Happy birthday, Sister Jia"
Wang Manni and Chen Xu came together and both handed over a gift.
"You two are considered together now, so I only give you one gift."
Before Gu Jia could say anything, Xu Huanshan, who was standing beside her, smiled and joked.
"Brother, you are not kind. Manni and I have already bled a lot today."
The drinks for today's party were provided by Chen Xu's winery in France, and the desserts at the party came from Wang Manni's dessert shop.
"He was just joking with you. Chen Xu, Manni, I'll toast to you too. I wish you a long and happy life."
Gu Jia's blessing has two meanings. One is the simplest blessing in literal sense; the other is to tell Chen Xu that I am living a good life now and you have a new girlfriend, so let's take care of each other.
Wang Manni was very happy. She received the blessing she wanted most and drank the wine in the goblet with a smile.
Chen Xu was speechless. He had already let it go, but you reminded him again and again. If you want to relive the old days, just say so. Let's make an appointment and talk until dawn.
"Chen Xu, Manni..."
Zhong Xiaoqin, who was pregnant, also arrived, and Chen Yu naturally followed behind her.
"Sister-in-law, in your situation, why are you still coming out to join in the fun?"
"Why, I can't come out in this situation?"
Zhong Xiaoqin is a person who cannot sit still, and today is Gu Jia's big day, so she certainly doesn't want to miss it. Under her strong request, Chen Yu had no choice but to compromise.
"I am a witness to the love and marriage between Gu Gu and Xu Huanshan. I was there when they first met."
Xu Huanshan and Gu Jia met during the year of the Beijing Olympics. One of them was a volunteer and the other a fireworks programmer, and their love began from then on.
"Do you still remember?"
"Of course, Jamaica."
When the two first met, Gu Jia held up a Jamaica sign and cracked Xu Huanshan's head.
"Mauritania, you are doing well now. You are going to be a mother soon, and Chen Yu loves you so much."
Gu Jia also joked with a smile that Zhong Xiaoqin was also a volunteer at the Olympics that year, and the sign she held was Mauritania.
Xu Huanshan put a lot of thought into this birthday party; first there was a piano performance by father and son, then there was a shining diamond ring that would last forever, and finally there was a dazzling fireworks show.
Ninety percent of the women present were moved by his romance, even Zhong Xiaoqin, who had encouraged Gu Jia to teach him a lesson a few days ago, was no exception.
"How romantic, Chen Yu, you should learn from him."
Looking at other people's husbands and then at the blockhead standing next to her, Zhong Xiaoqin was filled with disgust.
"Sister-in-law, I just discovered today that you were born earlier than Gu Jia. How did you grow up?"
Chen Xu brought up Zhong Xiaoqin's appearance again.
"Why do you look like that? That's how you look. Chen Xu, you're not a child anymore, and Manni is so nice. You should start thinking about some things."
Angry that Chen Xu was bringing up her appearance again, Zhong Xiaoqin didn't hold back. She knew what this marriage-phobic man was most afraid of and hit him directly in the sore spot.
"Love can be a whim, and you can leave it when you don't love it anymore. But when you choose marriage, you choose a home that you voluntarily carry. It is no longer just a relationship between two people;
Love is just love, but marriage involves too many things, including love, loyalty and responsibility; these are too difficult for me, so I don’t dare to get married without enough confidence.”
It was really beyond Zhong Xiaoqin's expectation to hear such responsible words coming from Chen Xu, a playboy.
"I thought it was just me, but I didn't expect that things that happened in your childhood would have such a big impact on you."
The taciturn Chen Yu also spoke.
"It's okay, I will stay with you until you make a decision."
Wang Manni took Chen Xu's hand and comforted him. Having been friends with Zhong Xiaoqin for such a long time, she also knew a lot about Chen Xu's family and knew that he had an unfortunate childhood.
"Okay, enough about the unhappy things, let's talk about something happy. Sister-in-law, when is your due date? How long will it take for my eldest nephew to come out?"
"There are still two months until the due date. It's hard to say whether it will be your eldest nephew, but I want a little girl anyway."
It is indeed not appropriate to talk too much about sad things on a day when others are happy, Zhong Xiaoqin cooperated and changed the subject.
Chen Yu doesn't talk much, but whenever he mentions his child, he can't help but smile foolishly; so even a fool knows how much he values pregnant Zhong Xiaoqin.
"Hey, Manni, that person is also an employee of your dessert shop."
Wang Manni was very kind to Gu Jia. Not only did she provide desserts, she also asked many dessert shop employees to help, including Zhao Jingyu, who was going to become the store manager in a week.
"You said Jingyu, she is. What's wrong? Do you know her?"
Wang Manni asked a little worriedly.
"Isn't it another old acquaintance of yours?"
Zhong Xiaoqin asked the question that Wang Manni didn't ask.
"How is that possible? Who do you think I am?"
Wang Manni, Zhong Xiaoqin and Chen Yu’s eyes clearly showed, Aren’t you that kind of person?
"You don't believe it, right? Call her over here and let's confront her face to face. See if she recognizes me."
Chen Xu looked angry and embarrassed. In fact, it was the word Jingyu that aroused his vigilance. Liang Haiwang's fiancée was called Zhao Jingyu. Could it be that she came to seek revenge on him?
Insight
Zhao Jingyu
Constitution: 90 (full value 100, healthy)
Appearance: 96 (full value 100, intellectual)
Disgust: 70 (full value is 100, resentment, fear)
The system skills don’t lie, it really is her.
Chapter 196 Treating illnesses and saving lives
The disgust level of 70 is indeed directed at me. How confused must this woman be to cause trouble for me because of King Liang Hai.
"Jingyu, you've worked hard today. I'll give you a day off tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Have a good rest and I'll pay you as usual."
At Chen Xu's strong request, Wang Manni actually called Zhao Jingyu over.
"Thank you, Sister Wang."
Humble and respectful, the acting was perfect. Only Chen Xu was lucky enough not to be fooled.
"Jingyu, you've been in Shanghai for a while now. What do you think of our place?"
If we talk about the best girlfriends in China, Zhong Xiaoqin must be ranked first; in front of Chen Xu, there are some things that Wang Manni is embarrassed to say, but she has no such concerns at all.
"It's pretty good here, with a developed economy and a convenient environment. Sister Wang takes such good care of me, I'm planning to settle down here."
Settle down? You are planning to have a long-term battle with me.
"It's good to settle down. By the way, Jingyu, you are so beautiful, you must have a boyfriend. When will you bring him out for us to see?"
"I don't have a boyfriend in Shanghai."
"There's none in Shanghai, but there must be one in Hong Kong. Is there a photo of him that we can see?"
After hearing what Zhong Xiaoqin said, Chen Xu really wanted to give her a thumbs up; go ahead and see how you perform next.
"My boyfriend in Hong Kong died in a car accident two months ago. That's why I came to the mainland to develop my career. I wanted to leave that sad place."
King Liang Hai died in a car accident. Could he have been killed by someone?
Is it really that big of a deal to just have dozens of small goals?
Thinking of this, Chen Xu suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his waist; then he stood up, and it really felt much better.
"Oh, sorry, I didn't know..."
We were just chatting about gossip, but we didn't expect to touch on other people's sad stories, Zhong Xiaoqin said with an apologetic look on her face.
"It's okay, it's all in the past. I've also come to terms with things during this time. Sister, there's still a lot of things going on over there, I'll go help first."
Although Zhao Jingyu looked calm, Zhong Xiaoqin's questions had already disturbed her mind. Knowing that she would make mistakes if she spoke too much, she decided to leave first.
"Okay, then go ahead and get busy. Be careful not to tire yourself out."
Whenever Wang Manni thinks back to her experience as a salesperson at Mixia, she can't help but treat her employees well.
.........
Having discovered the problem, if he continued to ignore it, he would be irresponsible to himself and the people around him. Two days later, Chen Xu found this red-named monster.
"Miss Zhao, would you like to have a drink together sometime?"
That afternoon, Chen Xu blocked Zhao Jingyu on her way home.
"Mr. Chen, you came to see me, does Sister Wang know?"
"If you don't tell her, she won't know."
Don't you want to act? I'll play with you for a while; at this moment, Chen Xu and Hong Shixian are possessed, and they are clearly scumbags.
Appearing beside him as a prey, tempting him, getting him, and destroying him, this was Zhao Jingyu's purpose of coming to Shanghai. She did not refuse Chen Xu's invitation and naturally sat in his co-pilot seat.
.........
MUSE Bar
The flickering lights can really arouse people's desires. After two glasses of whiskey, at Chen Xu's invitation, the two started dancing on the dance floor.
"Jingyu, can I call you that?"
"Is this how you approach a woman every time?"
"I rarely approach women, usually they approach me."
"So I'm lucky today."
One plays Aquaman in his true colors, and the other plays Wanderer as a guest star. The two are somewhat evenly matched.
At nine o'clock in the evening, the atmosphere was almost set. Chen Xu suggested going to a good place where they could see the night view of Shanghai, and then the two of them booked a luxury suite on the top floor of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel on the Bund.
"You seem afraid of me..."
It was fine in the crowded bar, but when he really entered the hotel suite, Chen Xu could feel that the girl in front of him was scared.
"We've only just met for a short time, and you brought me here. Shouldn't I be afraid?"
"But you still came, can you tell me why?"
Chen Xu is not bad enough, or maybe he still has a conscience.
