Chapter 21: Come to a dinner party to eat
"It's too late. Chen Tian will definitely scold me. I'll chat with you on WeChat on the way!" After finally tying his shoelaces, Chen Tian waved the phone in his hand at Yu Wangxi who was lying on the bed, then turned around and rushed out.
As soon as he got in the car, Chen Tian sent him a message. They had agreed to leave at 7:30. Now it was almost 8 o'clock, and it was inevitable to be reprimanded. Chen Qian was also thick-skinned, so he joked with Chen Tian and admitted his mistake, but he refused to repent.
Yu Wangxi also sent a message. It would take some time to get to the destination, so Chen Qian chatted with him to pass the time.
——My mother asked me last night if I wanted to go, but I thought it would be boring to go alone, so I didn’t agree.
——My brother said we have to go, because there are only two of us at home. Is it too late for you to go now? I’d be bored alone!
——Then I tell my mom that I can go and ask them to send a car to pick me up in the evening?
——Hurry up!
Suddenly having a companion, Chen Qian felt more at ease and waited to try on clothes. After all, he just had to put on a suit, button up, and tie a tie. How complicated could it be?
But when he arrived at the place, Chen Qian suddenly felt pressured.
Just standing at the door and looking at the door design, you can tell that this trip is not going to be easy.
Is it too late to run now?
That's too late.
"Good morning, Mr. Chen Qian. Please come this way." A man in a suit had already closed the car door for him and bent down to gesture for him to come in.
When he came to his senses, he was taken to sit on the sofa, a glass was stuffed into his hand, and several girls stood in a row, carefully holding clothes hangers.
"These are the suits Mr. Chen Tian arranged for you in advance."
The suits went aside, and the leather shoes came on stage next.
"Here are some of the Oxfords and loafers we have prepared for you."
Chen Qian didn't understand what he was talking about shoes, and he could only look at the tie and cufflinks but not choose them. He felt like he was entering a vegetable market for the first time, and knew nothing about the vegetables except their appearance and names.
Because Chen Qian's reaction was too dull, he finally had to come up with a way to seek external help. He called Chen Tian and asked someone to help hold the phone towards him while he tried one method after another.
Four hours had passed by the time it was over.
Chen Qian slumped on the sofa, feeling powerless, sipping the water in the cup through a straw.
Laxative, the feeling of being a Barbie doll is so tiring that it cannot be compared to moving bricks at a construction site. I hope everyone can face up to the hard work of being a Barbie doll in the future!
The man in the suit laid out the entire set of clothes he had chosen, from the jacket and pants to the cufflinks and socks, on the table, which made Chen Qian feel overwhelmed.
When the phone was retrieved, the video call was still ongoing and Chen Tian's face appeared large on the screen.
"Is it over?" He saw Chen Tian's lips opening and closing, and was about to respond, but another voice was one step faster than his.
"Yes, don't you see what I picked for Xiao Qian?" It was Chi Mu's voice.
Chi Mu picked it out for him? Chi Mu? Picked it out for him!!
Chen Qian regretted it when he thought about how weak and depressed he looked throughout the whole process. He should have put on a good show earlier.
"I trust your judgment. Is that okay? Now you can go back to your company." Seeing Chen Tian roll his eyes at the spot above the phone, he took the phone and gave him a warm smile. In his heart, he exclaimed that his expression was really amazing. "I'll pick you up this afternoon. The dinner starts at 7 o'clock. Classmate Chen Qian, please don't be late again."
As soon as the threatening words came out, Chen Tian hung up the phone.
Wow, goosebumps.
Chen Qian rubbed his arms, feeling a chill on his back.
……
Chen Qian himself actually didn’t know what he was wearing or how he looked.
He was too tired to look in the mirror when he tried them on.
So after finishing his styling in the afternoon, when Chen Tian pulled him in front of the mirror to take a photo, he was actually a little surprised at himself.
He looked like a real person, very, very good. Although he was not very tall, only 1.78 meters, his proportions and body shape were good, and his face was also straight. When he put on a suit, he had the taste of what people called a rich young master. He was quite satisfied with it.
"Auntie and Mom, Xiao Qian and I look like this today." Chen Tian sent the photo to the group like a robot, sent a voice message, and looked Chen Qian up and down. After a long moment, he said, "You're quite picky. You look very handsome today."
When getting off the car at the gate of the Chi family's old house, Chen Qian saw that there were already many people in the hall.
I couldn't help but look towards the main road we came in from. Wow, it's even bigger than their school. Luckily the driver dropped us off at the door, because walking in would have been exhausting.
Forgive Chen Qian for not having seen the world, but he feels that this is not a reason for Chen Tian to give him a slap in the face when he finds out that he is looking around and has failed to control his facial expression!
After being attacked, Chen Qian learned his lesson. He followed Chen Tian with his eyes on his nose and his nose on his heart. Chen Tian greeted him in front, and he followed Chen Tian's rhythm and nodded and said hello from behind.
After delivering the gifts at the door, Chen Qian felt relieved when he walked into the banquet hall. He took out his cell phone and started contacting his fan partner, Yu Wangxi.
On the way here, Yu Wangxi said that the food at the Chi family was especially delicious and the chef was very skilled in cooking. He had been tempted for a long time and had been waiting for this moment. After meeting Yu Wangxi, he could say goodbye to Chen Tian and leave to play.
"Chen Qian!" Yu Wangxi came over from behind and whispered to him and greeted Chen Tian again: "Brother Chen Tian."
"Um, brother, the squad leader and I are going to get something to eat."
After successfully getting away from Chen Tian, the two of them went to the long table where the food was placed.
"I've never seen you dressed so elegantly. Today's outfit seems to suit you very well. You look much better than the homeless guy in school." Chen Qian stood by the table, holding a small plate in his hand.
"But it's uncomfortable. It's too pretentious to match this leather." Yu Wangxi pouted and lowered his head to look at his clothes.
"Welcome everyone to today..." The two people were looking for the delicious smoked fish that Yu Wangxi mentioned when the host's voice rang out.
The two men temporarily gave up their appetite and looked towards the stage in the direction of the voice, just in time to see the Chi family pushing out a white-haired old man wearing a dark Zhongshan suit.
The younger generations of the Chi family wanted to wish each other a happy birthday one by one. They stood in the audience, but the crowd just blocked that area, so one could only see the little kids coming up to the stage one after another, reciting birthday wishes. The youngest one looked only five or six years old, and his baby voice made it difficult to speak clearly.
"The older ones didn't come on stage to celebrate birthdays this time." Yu Wangxi took a sip of cocktail and spoke to himself.
"How many big ones?" Chen Qian was puzzled.
"There are more than a dozen people in this generation of the Chi family. The oldest ones have reached adulthood and don't seem to be here."
"Have you seen them before?"
"No, my parents said that they hope that if I meet him, I can have a chance to make friends with him."
The clichés for birthday wishes were all the same, and it felt like they were just letting the younger generation show off in front of others. They didn't really care about that, and were only focused on finding delicious food at the long table.
"This is delicious, you can try it." Chen Qian was looking at the new snacks, thinking about which one to eat. A hand held a small piece of cake and placed it in front of him.
"Okay, thank you." Chen Qian took it and was about to put it in his mouth when he felt that the voice sounded familiar.
Chen Qian turned around and saw Chi Mu looking at him with a smile.
