Chapter Eighty-Five

  But when Yucai, dressed in a radiant outfit, entered the magnificent hotel with Qi Shi, she suddenly discovered that she was still an optimist. For example, just a few days ago, she would have never imagined that Qi Nainai, whom she didn't get along with, was also on the guest list.

  While Granny Wei looked at her with disdain and contempt, Yu Cai suddenly discovered that she had not become as fierce and invincible as she had imagined.

  This time it should be a big scene in Qishu Fan's mouth. The people who gathered last time can hardly be seen, and Qishu Fan didn't even have the energy to pay attention to them.

  The cunning and unpredictable Ji Xie quickly abandoned Yu Cai, and the unfortunate classmate Yu Cai was finally caught.

  "Xiao Cai——"

  Yu Cai called out to Qi Nainai, who was wearing a elegant smile on her face and a dark green cheongsam, the epitome of a classic Chinese noblewoman. "When did you arrive?"

  About twenty minutes ago.

  Grandma Qi's smile at the corner of her mouth stiffened, "I asked you when you came to the provincial city".

  "About twenty days ago".

  "Is it just a holiday and then you're coming?"

  "Uh-huh."

  "Are you still tutoring in English?"

  "Not present"

  "Grandma Qi chuckled and said, 'Not here?'"

  Yu Cai began to envy the men and women who were bullied, at least they wore long-sleeved clothes, which allowed them to clench their fists in their sleeves. But she, Yu Cai glanced at her own sleeveless evening gown with a sidelong glance, oh, the decline of human civilization!

  "What did you come here for?"

  "Ride on the coattails of others."

  Yu Cai's voice was low, but clear and firm. Qi Nainai almost choked to death. Alright, since you've encountered someone like Yu who doesn't play by the rules, Qi Nainai, please accept my condolences.

  When Granny Qi was so angry that she couldn't speak, Shi Chengyu rushed over hastily. Alright, this kid is also a decent person, although the entrusted task from Yu Cai had long expired, but seeing Granny Qi's obvious intention to trouble Yu Cai, he still hastened to come and rescue the situation without hesitation.

  "Grandma Qi".

  "It's Cheng Yu, and he's even more handsome."

  Shi Chengyu smiled and said, "Grandma, you're overpraising me. My dad said he wanted to meet Yu Cai, so I'll take her there."

  Grandma Qi nodded, Yu Cai gave him a grateful glance, but what Yu Cai didn't expect was that Shi Chengyu actually took her to see Mr. Shi, and Yu Cai had no choice but to respectfully call out "Uncle Shi".

  "Wow Yucai, you've become so pretty, I almost didn't recognize you!"

  "Uncle Shi is being too kind."

  "Are you happy with your play?"

  "Delighted, thank you Uncle Shi for your hospitality."

  Yu Cai's demure and obedient appearance clearly delighted Mr. Shi, "I'm glad to see you're happy, it was worth Yu Xuan remembering you and coming to ask me to invite you."

  Yu Cai's eyebrows moved slightly, and she began to have an urge to destroy a certain person, "Thanks for your trouble, Shi Chengyu classmate."

  "But I'm surprised to know you're still living in Shu Fan's house."

  Um, uncle, you should go entertain more important guests instead of wasting time chatting with me here.

  Shi Wei Xing looked at Yu Cai with a bland expression, "On one hand, I don't understand why Shu Fan would have any reason to leave you behind. On the other hand, based on your temperament, you shouldn't have agreed to come to the provincial city, and even if you did agree, you wouldn't be here."

  Yu Cai Ping calmly opened her mouth and said, "Uncle Shi, you are engaged in real estate development. This kind of psychological problem is not suitable for your research."

  Shi Wei burst out laughing, "Indeed, a great writer as expected".

  Yu Cai was on guard, "Did Shi Chengyu tell you?"

  "He promised you wouldn't tell anyone?"

  Yu Cai nodded.

  Shi Wei was even more delighted, "Do you think he will go back on his word and tell me?"

  Yu Cai thought for a moment, "It shouldn't be, and this matter has nothing to do with you, nor would you be interested, there's no need for him to tell you".

  "How did you think I knew?"

  "It's no wonder that you would know such a thing, I have every reason to suspect that you knew beforehand and that's why you sent Shi Chengyu to our class."

  Shi Wei nodded in satisfaction, "Not bad, she's a clever girl. Cheng Yu often liked to flip through your book of songs when he had nothing better to do, and later on something like that happened. Besides sending him to your side, I couldn't think of a better solution."

  "Why don't you just tell him directly?"

  "He needs time to grieve and also time to think."

  Yu Cai was taken aback, "You are a great father".

  Shi Wei laughed again, "This is the best compliment I've ever heard so far."

  "No, it's true, so it sounds good—"

  "What a lovely child, no wonder Shu Fan likes him."

  Yu Cai's unnatural twisted neck, "Qin Wan Jie is also someone you found?"

  "She is the cousin of Cheng Yu's teacher, with eyes almost identical to his. For a long time, Cheng Yu could only hear her speak."

  Yu Cai let out a sigh, looking lost in thought. Shi Wei patted her shoulder and said, "Whether you like this party or not, Cheng Yu invited you with good intentions, so just try to have fun."

  "Ah, thank you."

  "It should be me thanking you instead, Cheng Yu is clever but too fragile and likes to nitpick, you have the opportunity to guide him more."

  "Alright, I'll do my best."

  Shi Wei beckoned a little girl about Yu Cai's size to come over, "Take Yu Cai to get something to eat."

  The little girl should be a secretary or something, very enthusiastic, but also just right to not make Yu Cai feel uncomfortable, letting Yu Cai truly experience what it means to be at home.

  Under Yu Caijing's enthusiastic recommendation, while eating the ice cream that looked super appetizing at first glance, Shi Xiaomei came with a pout, "Yu sister, Shuai brother ignores me".

  "He doesn't care about you, you should go look for him."

  "Can't you help me out?"

  "He won't listen even if I beg him."

  "You deceived me!"

  Yu Cai put down the small bowl, "Then let's go try".

  In response to Yu Cai's request for him to coax a little girl, Ji Shi Zhe bluntly refused. The little girl was so angry that her face turned bright red. A boy next to Ji Shi Zhe immediately coaxed, "Jue Er, he doesn't care about you, I do."

  The little girl was even more indignant, "You don't look as good as your brother!"

  The boy lost his smile, "How can such a young girl know what's good-looking and what's not?"

  "I'm fourteen years old!"

  "You shouldn't be throwing tantrums at 14 years old. When others don't pay attention to you, you get angry, and you're not even as good as a 7-year-old kid. And yet you still have the nerve to say you're already 14."

  The little girl couldn't outtalk him and stomped her foot as she walked away. The boy turned to Yu Cai and extended his hand, "Hello, I'm Jian Xun."

  "Nice to meet you."

  Jian Xun smiled and said, "I've often heard Cheng Yu mention you, today I finally get to meet you in person".

  Jian Xun's bright and sunny disposition, especially when she smiled, revealing a sharp tiger tooth, was dazzling and made people jealous. The two of them chatted leisurely, and it turned out to be quite harmonious. Through this gathering, Yu Cai finally met her first friend who was worth befriending.

  Qishu Fan finally found the opportunity to see Yucai, and from afar, he saw that Yucai's right hand was unconsciously swaying the high-heeled glass in her hand. The bright red wine contrasted with her white fingers, giving off a strange and beautiful color. The owner of this hand had a dignified and elegant smile on her face as she listened intently to what the boy next to her was saying. Occasionally, she would open her mouth, occasionally deepen her smile, and occasionally give him a knowing glance. It seemed that she had adapted very well. However, Qishu Fan felt inexplicably uncomfortable in his heart, and he immediately laughed at himself. This was exactly what he had hoped for; why should he feel uncomfortable?

  "Xiao Cai, didn't disturb you guys, did I?"

  Jian Xun Lianlian modestly said a few polite words and then went off to find his next target.

  Qishou Fan took the wine cup from Yu Cai's hand and said, "This grape wine has a strong aftertaste, don't drink too much."

  Yu Cai smiled and said, "I just hold it for show, otherwise I always don't know where to put my hands".

  Qishou handed her a cup of iced water, "Here's some boiled water."

  Yu Cai Hei Xian said, "Dear Uncle, don't you think holding a cup of plain boiled water is too lacking in style?"

  "Oh, what kind of attitude do you want?"

  Yu Cai Mingzhi's clever decision changed the subject, "How did you have time?"

  "Let's go and pay our respects to Governor Mu."

  The governor of the wood province should not be young, but his spirit is very good. His wife has a head full of silver hair, wearing a big red sleeveless cheongsam, elegant and noble, holding the hand of Qi Shi, and praising this young man for being handsome, more handsome than his father.

  After boasting, he came to see Yu Cai again, and estimated that it was really embarrassing to boast about her beauty, so he boasted that she had a good temperament, and at first glance, she was a good girl. Yu Cai smiled politely, with no flaws in her performance.

  After a few words, Ji Shu Fan led them away. Yu Cai pressed down her voice and said, "Indeed, the provincial governor is indeed the provincial governor. On TV, he looks like an old man, but when you see him in person, you realize that his aura is not just for show. And Mu Nainai, she has a lot of charm, one look and you can tell she's very wise."

  Qishu Fan laughed and said, "We little cattails also have great wisdom."

  Yu Cai Bai gave him a glance, "I'm saying it seriously, I'd be content if I could have half of her charm when I'm old."

  "Don't worry, our little Xiaoyi is now a little beauty, when she grows old, she will naturally be a beautiful elderly lady, and absolutely won't lose to Mu Ayi."

  Yu Cai stretched out her hand to pinch Qi Shu's arm, but the corner of her eye caught a glimpse of Qi Shi's calm and cold gaze looking at herself, her heart skipped a beat, and the smile on her face could no longer be maintained, she hastily lowered her head...
