Chapter 99

  Ai Zi Qing got a bit dressed up today, and suddenly looked refreshed, her already pale and beautiful face also had some light makeup on, which made the three people in the dormitory nod their heads in approval.

  Four people gathered at the main gate of Lianyi High School.

  "Mainland girl, I said you're so pretty, what's with getting yourself looking neither male nor female every day!" Li Hui said with her mouth full of apple. At this time, the three of them were all dressed in formal attire suitable for attending a banquet, looking very elegant, but their posture was clearly not ladylike.

  Ai Zi Qing glanced at the latter, saw that everyone had arrived, and stretched out her hand to stop a taxi. After all, attending a banquet, dressing up simply is also basic courtesy, showing respect for the host's family.

  Half an hour later, the car turned into a wide and smooth road, stopped in front of a villa area, several people paid the fare and got off.

  Looking at the rows of villas, Liu Jiabao took out the cigarette from his mouth and shook his head: "Rich people are really different, living in such a dignified place."

  "I heard that An Jia's villa here is only used for banquets and gatherings, and no one lives here normally." Li Hui led the way forward, and when they arrived at the entrance of the villa, several people met Zhao Zijun who came out to greet them.

  Zhao Zijun was dressed very formally today, wearing a white suit that accentuated his tall and lean physique. With his handsome face, he couldn't help but catch the attention of passing girls who frequently turned their heads to take another look at him.

  "Wow, Zhao is so handsome!" Li Hui's face was flushed with excitement as she snuck a peek at Ai Zi Qing, who couldn't help but feel a bit annoyed. She had noticed that since the day she met Li Hui, her admiration for Zhao Zi Jun had never wavered, whether he was playing basketball or racing cars. Li Hui would always rush to the front lines like a crazy fan, and even the latest gossip about Zhao Zi Jun came from Li Hui's mouth. But if you asked Ai Zi Qing if she thought Li Hui had fallen in love with Zhao Zi Jun, it didn't quite seem that way, because Li Hui always seemed so carefree and nonchalant.

  Of course, judging from Ai Zi Qing's EQ, her judgment can almost be ignored.

  Zhao Zijun had already come over and walked in front of Ai Ziqing, smiling: "I said I'd pick you up before, taking a taxi is so inconvenient."

  Ai Zi Qing smiled: "Taking a taxi is quite convenient, has Yao Hui arrived?" Today, Wen Yao Hui also came as scheduled, but it's unknown whether he has arrived or not.

  Zhao Zijun pointed to the wooden chair under the camphor tree on the left, where Wen YaoHui was sitting and flipping through his phone. This phone was given to him by Ai ZiQing as a gift for becoming his apprentice.

  According to her understanding, Wen Yao Hui's family economic situation is not very affluent, but also not difficult, just an ordinary family, and at this time the mobile phone price is indeed expensive, so Ai Zi Qing chose one for Beibei while also choosing one for him.

  This is not sympathy, but rather that it's too much trouble to find someone else, and Wen Yao Hui usually respects Ai Zi Qing a lot. Giving him the mobile phone is no big deal, this guy initially refused to accept out of pride, didn't think he'd be so fond of it now.

  Wen Yao Hui was intently staring at his phone under the tree, unaware that Ai Zi Qing and others had arrived. Zhao Zi Jun and Ai Zi Qing walked towards him.

  As they drew closer, everyone was stunned by the tall figure standing under the camphor tree, bathed in the warm glow of the setting sun. It wasn't that they had never seen a handsome guy before, but Wen Yao's radiant appearance at this moment was simply too dazzling.

  Wen Yao Hui heard the footsteps, lifted his head, and saw that it was Zhao Zi Jun and several others. On that handsome yet extremely cold face, a faint smile suddenly appeared. When he clearly saw Ai Zi Qing in a black long dress behind Zhao Zi Jun, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes.

  At this time, Ai Zi Qing pulled up her black hair, wearing a long black dress that made her skin look white and transparent, like milk, smooth and lustrous. The low-cut neckline revealed a hint of seductive color, and the pulled-up hair made her neck look even whiter and more slender, very beautiful. However, this black long dress was not flashy or showy, on the contrary, it gave people a feeling of being very introverted.

  She got up and greeted a few people, and without anyone noticing, she put her phone back in the waist of her pants, which made Aizi Qing secretly laugh.

  A few people walked into the villa area, laughing and chatting. On the road, luxury cars occasionally drove in from outside and stopped in front of the villa that Ai Zi Qing and others were walking towards...

  "It's quite lively, Anshi Restaurant has been around since I was a kid, it's an old brand." Li Hui exclaimed as she looked at the An family villa in front of her.

  Ai Ziqing nodded slightly, knowing that the An brand in Hong Kong was like Quanjude Beijing Roast Duck and other well-known brands on the mainland, although there were some differences in nature, but it was indeed a well-known old-brand catering chain among the people.

  "Yes, I didn't expect that An Jia's little princess would be in the same school as us." Xiang Yao pursed her lips and sighed, gazing at the luxurious villa in front of her. Perhaps it was the first time she had such a direct and intuitive feeling of the luxurious lifestyle of the rich, and a hint of inferiority complex arose in her heart.

  In Hong Kong, families like the Wong and Tong are considered to be at the top of society's wealthy elite, while large-scale collective enterprises like the Zhao and Yang families are slightly inferior. However, it's not entirely accurate to say they're inferior, as the nature of their businesses is different. Nevertheless, in terms of foundation and social connections, there is still a significant gap between the two.

  An Jia was slightly inferior to the previous one, but in the eyes of the common people, taking out any one of them would already be a wealthy and respected family, making people look up to them, so Xiang Yao had this sigh.

  Ai Zi Qing smiled slightly, her pale and beautiful face was full of confidence and calmness. She had always believed that her fate was in her own hands, as long as she put in the effort, she would get a return. And now, she was also achieving her goals one by one. Looking at the grand mansion in front of her, if it were her past life, she would have felt intimidated just like Xiang Yao and let out a sigh of admiration...

  Now, while she is constantly achieving her goals, she also exercises her mind to be extremely resilient. Her rebirth experience has also made her more detached from worldly things than ordinary people. Looking at the magnificent and luxurious villa in front of her, as well as the high-end cars parked outside, Ai Zi Qing didn't have the same reaction as others. After all, with her current financial resources, buying a house like this was just a matter of whether she wanted to or not.

  She picked up her long black skirt and followed the others up a low flight of stairs. At the entrance, there were attendants who did not come forward to ask for invitations, probably because they recognized Zhao Zijun, so several people passed directly. However, Ai Ziying fell behind the crowd, stopped in front of the attendant, took out a red envelope from her pocket and handed it to the attendant. The other party weighed the thickness without any expression, then smiled and stretched out his hand to make a "please" gesture. Only then did she follow several people into the villa.

  Since you've been invited here, naturally you can't miss out on the formalities.

  "I said, isn't it just a birthday party? Is it that big of a deal?" Li Hui looked at the guests dressed in suits and ties, accompanying their male and female partners, and muttered to herself in surprise.

  Zhao Zijun, who was in front, heard this and turned his head back with a smile to explain: "This kind of thing is very common in big families. It's just an excuse for a birthday party to invite business partners to get together and build relationships. In fact, it's not much different from a business banquet."

  Ah Bao nodded and replied, "This is the helplessness of you rich people. Like us, celebrating birthdays by eating and drinking at a big stall, it's more enjoyable and carefree, I think this is what birthday celebrations should be like."

  Zhao Zijun nodded in agreement and smiled as he led the way forward, exuding a gentlemanly demeanor that was worlds apart from the big boy under the school basketball hoop.

  Upon entering the hall, several people stood still, although the sky had not yet completely darkened, but the hall was already brightly lit. Under the illumination of those luxurious chandeliers, everything seemed radiant and magnificent, with an air of grandeur.

  Long tables stood upright around the hall, with well-dressed men and women smiling and shuttling among them in twos and threes, either enthusiastically or reservedly presenting each other with business cards. Some people may have already found a perfect cooperative partner here, with joyful smiles on their faces that couldn't be stopped.

  "If I can spend my birthday like this for the rest of my life, it would be worth living. It's really a matter of face." Even Li Hui couldn't help but stop at the door and sigh in admiration.

  Looking at such a birthday party, some people may be jealous in their hearts, or they may be very envious, but Aizi Qing just shook her head slightly, because in her feeling, it's indeed as Abao said, not as relaxed and comfortable as gathering at the food stalls.

  Although she thought so, Aizi Qing still admired An Jia's generosity.

  If one has never seen the world, it is indeed humiliating to enter the house and feel inferior, and the identity of Miss Anjia is also infinitely yearned for.

  In a few moments, a group of young people chatting in the distance also looked towards the gate, and then one of them said something to the crowd, and quickly walked towards Zhao Zijun.

  As the man walked up to her, Ai Zi Qing had already recognized him - wasn't this Wang Bo Wen, whom she had met for the first time when having dinner with Zhao Zi Jun? Since then, Ai Zi Qing hadn't seen this refined bespectacled man again.

  At this time, Wang Bowei was also dressed in a black suit, his shiny black leather shoes clicking on the gleaming marble floor as he walked with a straight back and a polite smile on his face. He quickly approached Zhao Zijun's side and said with a laugh: "I wondered why you suddenly disappeared, it turns out you went to pick up the beauty."

  This sentence naturally won the favor of several girls.

  Wang Bowei finished speaking and smiled, turning his head to look at several girls. When he saw Ai Ziqing, who was also dressed in formal attire, his eyes paused for a moment before widening: "You are... Ziqing?"

  Ai Zi Qing nodded her head and smiled, it's really not easy, this playboy still remembers her.

  It's not surprising that Wang Bowen was a bit hesitant to acknowledge her, as Ai Ziqing had changed so much since arriving in Hong Kong. Previously, she wore simple clothes and had short, curly hair, but today she had high-piled black hair and fair skin paired with a black waist-long dress, making her look completely different. Her temperament has also been elevated to a new level compared to half a year ago, giving people a very different feeling. It's not easy for Wang Bowen, who only met her once, to still recognize her at a glance.

  Seeing Ai Zi Qing nod, Wang Bo Wen opened his mouth and finally shook his head in admiration: "It's really true that after three days apart, one should look at each other with new eyes. I didn't expect the heroic woman from back then to be so enchanting. I was really blind."
