The Life of Mary Sue - Chapter 25
After the five people entered the door, Cheng Xueyi took out the prepared slippers from the shoe rack for them to change.
Holding large and small bags of ingredients, she greeted Penny as she walked to the kitchen, “Penny, help me pour some water for the guests.”
Then he said to Xu Qiyan and the others, “You can visit at will. The house is very small, which will make you laugh.”
The three brothers and sisters of the Xu family just walked around in the living room. The house is indeed very small for them, but although the sparrow is small and complete, the space of more than 90 square meters has been arranged by Cheng Xueyi to be clean, tidy and full of life atmosphere. Quite comfortable.
After all, no matter how big the house is, it doesn’t just sleep in one of them.
At five o’clock in the afternoon, guests began to come one after another.
Yu Tongtong was the first to arrive besides the Xu family brothers and sisters. When Cheng Xueyi opened the door around her apron, the first thing she saw was a large and exquisite box, followed by Yu Tongtong’s excited voice: “surrise!”
She stuffed the box into Cheng Xueyi’s arms, “Look how good I am to you, and I also brought a gift. This is the tableware I brought back from the UK on my behalf. Let me tell you, I didn’t know how many plates and bowls can be used before. so expensive…”
Yu Tongtong went in to change his shoes, and kept mumbling, “What kind of brand is it for the British royal family, you know how noble…”
When she said this, her voice stopped abruptly, because as soon as she looked up, she saw Xu Qiyan sitting in the living room drinking tea leisurely.
…
So the sentence “Do you know how noble it is?” turned into a sentence, “Mr. Xu is good.”
…
The bluntness of the turning point made Cheng Xueyi feel that Yu Tongtong was just like that.
However, Xu Ziyi and Huo Siyuan in the back were not much better, seeing Xu Qiyan with a ghostly expression on their faces.
Does the President have the property of a town house?
By the time everyone had arrived, Cheng Xueyi was already too busy.
Fortunately, the hot pot is still very convenient, all kinds of ingredients can be washed and cut and everything can be served on the table.
In order to invite everyone to dinner, she also bought an oversized solid wood long table online.
However, she bought a lot of things, and a lot of ingredients were still full on the table.
Cheng Xueyi put the pot on the rack, turned on the induction cooker, and finally heaved a sigh of relief: “Come on, let’s cook!”
As soon as the words fell, Shi Yi took the lead to get up from the sofa and take a seat, followed by Xu Qiyan, Xu Jianing, and the others began to move.
After everyone was at the table, Cheng Xueyi realized that the atmosphere was a bit restrained.
She could understand why after a little thought.
Although most of the people present are well-known figures in the entertainment industry, they are still not enough to see in front of Xu Qiyan.
It is estimated that everyone has the same feeling of eating with the boss at this moment as she does.
Xu Jianing is very experienced in dealing with this kind of scene. She reached out and quietly pulled Xu Qiyan’s shirt, and whispered to him: “Brother.”
Xu Qiyan understood, he calmly picked up the chopsticks and said, “Everyone, let’s start.”
Cheng Xueyi: “???”
Whose housewarming banquet is this?
Who is the owner of this house? ! Um?
But when Cheng Xueyi was cowardly, she was really cowardly, and she didn’t have the guts to say anything.
After all, she asked the president to come uninvited, and it’s easy to overturn the car again.
Wine is a good thing when the atmosphere at the table is dull.
After all, it is a must-have for an active atmosphere. It is very easy to use and never falls off the chain.
Shi Yi, as the person who was most not afraid of Xu Qiyan, took the lead in honoring Cheng Xueyi’s housewarming, and others agreed.
After a few rounds of drinking, the atmosphere gradually became lively.
Everyone was chatting and talking about the topic, and somehow it brought up Cheng Xueyi’s previous winning.
Xu Ziyi teased: “One in three million lucky little koi will show us the prize.”
Yu Tongtong: “Europeans quickly show us!”
Penny raised her hand weakly: “African Chief also wants to see it.”
Cheng Xueyi just received the prize a few days ago. At that time, a large box was mailed, and she put it in the second bedroom before she could open it.
“Really watch?”
Xu Ziyi: “Look at it, let’s be happy by the way.”
“Okay.” Cheng Xueyi said, “I just haven’t dismantled it yet. Now I’ll dismantle it online for you.”
After she finished speaking, she got up and went to the second bedroom to carry the boxes.
The cardboard box was half the height of a person. Cheng Xueyi dragged it to the living room, picked up the paper cutter and started unpacking.
Everyone present looked at her with expectant eyes, only Xu Qiyan was calmly rinsing her hairy belly.
The box was unpacked, and there were several gift boxes lying neatly inside.
Each box is carefully wrapped in premium black dark grained gift paper, then tied in a delicate knot with white satin ribbon.
Cheng Xueyi took it out and put it on the floor the same way. The texture of the wrapping paper is very good, and it has a faint aroma. Cheng Xueyi couldn’t help but say, “I don’t want to take it apart if it’s so well wrapped.”
Xu Jianing couldn’t expect it: “Quick dismantling, quick dismantling, Sister Xueyi, I really want to see it.”
Cheng Xueyi opened the first box, which contained a full set of ysl lipsticks.
The second box is a limited edition bag from chanel.
As soon as the third box was unpacked, Cheng Xueyi saw the iconic orange packaging gift box.
After unpacking, it really is hers, a birk bag.
Xu Jianing exclaimed: “Oh my God, I haven’t bought this color scheme for a long time!”
Cheng Xueyi’s forehead started to sweat.
Do you want to be so embarrassed, it puts a lot of pressure on her, okay?
Opened the boxes one by one, and finally found that there are five limited-edition bags of luxury brands in this koi gift bag, as well as three luxury makeup sets. “
Coupled with the two-person tour of the seven-star island of Madai that can be redeemed at any time…
Yu Tongtong was stunned: “I said, these are more than 300,000, right?”
Of course, there are more than one birk bag! ! !
Everyone looked at Xu Qiyan in unison.
Xu Qiyan continued to cook the beef calmly: “Well, employee benefits.”
Several people from other companies here are invariably sour. Is Sheng Jia’s welfare so good?
Cheng Xueyi also stared blankly at Xu Qiyan, so this is an employee benefit specially prepared for her by the president?
She suddenly felt a little guilty, the CEO spent so much money, and she didn’t even think about what happened to him for a meal 2333333.
“I take the liberty to ask, Mr. Xu, is your company still recruiting?” Xu Ziyi teased.
She looked so envious that her head fell, and her tone was a little lemony: “Xiao Chengcheng is really lucky.”
Huo Siyuan suddenly said, “I think Teacher Cheng is really a walking koi.”
“What are you flattering?” Since Xu Ziyi and Huo Siyuan partnered once, the two of them have been fond of each other’s bullshit.
“You don’t understand my revolutionary friendship with Teacher Cheng.”
Huo Siyuan told him about Cheng Xueyi’s fortune-telling before.
“I thought she was bluffing me at the time.”
“As a result, I received a notification yesterday that I was actually shortlisted for the Best Actor in the Golden Bauhinia Award.”
Huo Siyuan drank a little wine, his face was a little red, his eyes were shining, and he looked really happy.
Cheng Xueyi was relieved after unpacking the prize. She fished out a piece of fish tofu from the pot and said with a smile, “I said I didn’t lie to you, and the red envelope should be ready sooner.”
This thing sounds mysterious.
Xu Ziyi asked in disbelief, “Is it true or false?”
Yu Tongtong: “Why didn’t I know that our baby could tell fortunes?”
Huo Siyuan stretched out three fingers to make an oath, “Really, really, really!”
Cheng Xueyi winked at them playfully: “Is it true that we won’t know next month?”
The ambience of the dinner was surprisingly harmonious and pleasant.
When everyone was full and full, it was almost ten o’clock in the evening.
The crescent moon hangs on the bleak branches, and the city gradually returns to silence from the hustle and bustle.
After saying goodbye to Cheng Xueyi, the group took the elevator to the underground garage together.
Huo Siyuan and Xu Ziyi also brought their drivers, and they took Yu Tongtong and Su Yu along by the way.
Shi Yi had to let Xu Jianing act as a temporary driver because he and Xu Qiyan both drank.
The three brothers and sisters walked to the Maserati, and Shi Yi took the lead in getting into the co-pilot.
Xu Jianing sat in the driver’s seat and began to complain: “I knew the driver had brought me here. I’ve never touched your car before, so I’m a little nervous.”
Shi raised his lips, “You can just send us back alive.”
Xu Qiyan stood in front of the car for a long time without moving, her eyes were slightly dark and she didn’t know what she was thinking.
Xu Jianing reminded: “Brother?”
He turned his head and said in a deep voice, “You guys go first, I still have something to do.”
“Eh?” Xu Jianing asked, “Then how are you going back in a while?”
“Do not bother me.”
Xu Jianing knew that her eldest brother had always been dependable and measured, and she didn’t need her to talk about it, so he didn’t say anything more, only told him: “Then you should pay attention to safety, and come back early after you’ve dealt with things.”
In the room, Cheng Xueyi was busy cleaning the table.
It is very convenient to eat hot pot, but it is really dirty after eating. The oil splashed from the bottom, the sauce that has been poured out, and the remaining ingredients that can’t be eaten make the whole dining room look like a mess.
Penny came over and folded a few empty bowls and put them away, “Sister Xueyi, don’t do it, I’ll just collect it.”
“It’s too much, the two of us should hurry up.”
Suddenly the doorbell rang.
The two looked at the door subconsciously.
Cheng Xueyi guessed: “It might be someone of them who dropped something.”
Penny also held several empty bowls in her hand.
She said, “I’ll just go and open it, you can put the bowl back in the kitchen.”
Penny nodded.
Cheng Xueyi put the rag on the table and walked to the door to open the door.
But unexpectedly found that Xu Qiyan was standing outside the door.
Cheng Xueyi hesitated and asked, “Mr. Xu, did you forget something here?”
“No.” Xu Qiyan said quietly.
He said that he looked past her and looked at the window, and then said, “Close the curtains, and remember to lock the doors and windows.”
“Eh?”
He went back and forth just to remind her about it?
Cheng Xueyin nodded: “I see.”
“Thank you, Mr. Xu.”
“Well, rest early.”
There were some things he wasn’t sure about yet, so he didn’t want to cause unnecessary panic to her.
Xu Qiyan took the elevator back to the first floor.
He walked out of the unit door and stood on the bluestone road downstairs.
In the minus ten degrees weather, he only wore a thin woolen coat. From a distance, he looked like a pine and cypress-like charm.
He stood there and raised his head slightly. Among the thousands of lights, only one was special to him.
He stared at the warm lights in the room that belonged to Cheng Xueyi.
She was very obedient this time. When he took the elevator, she had already drawn the curtains.
Xu Qiyan took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket. He was not addicted to smoking, but only occasionally wanted one.
In the quiet and desolate night, with a “click”, the lighter ignited orange-red light, and he lit the tobacco between his fingers.
The weather was really cold, and it seemed that only the cigarette between his fingers could bring him some warmth.
Xu Qiyan remembered what Cheng Xueyi looked like when she just opened the door.
She drank a little wine, her face was like a peach blossom, and she was as beautiful as a peach and plum. When she looked at him, her watery eyes were full of surprise.
I don’t know when it started, but when I think of her, the always stable heart in my chest will have a strange throbbing.
Maybe not just throbbing, but some other emotions.
For example, when he saw her being kissed by someone else, there was an unquenchable sourness in his heart.
He vaguely understood that it was an emotion called jealousy.
Thinking of that scene, his hand holding the cigarette trembled a little.
The bitter winter wind poured into his body, and the bone-chilling chill made him calm down a little.
After a long time, he took out his mobile phone from his pocket and dialed a number.
Under the gloomy night, he said solemnly: “Send a few people to protect Cheng Xueyi these days.”
