The Wind Blows Fallen Leaves Chapter 17
byAllergy
The originally noisy venue suddenly fell silent. Zhuang Qingfu came up the stairs, and everyone looked at her. Her originally disheveled hair was tied up behind her head and held high with a white jade hairpin, which made her look even more gentle. She attracted the attention of the audience as soon as she appeared. Her every frown and smile showed her charm. Li Jingtong hurriedly stepped forward to hold her and walked towards the wealthy ladies.
Zhuang Qingfu is not only confident and bright, she is also good at getting along with others. She makes the rich ladies smile with just a few words. Her innate temperament can be seen in her every word and deed.
“Aunt, I haven’t seen you for a long time. I miss you.”
Zhuang Qingfu took Han Han’s hand and hugged her affectionately. Han Han couldn’t hide his love in his eyes. He wished he could turn her over and treat her as his daughter. She said, “Qingfu is even more charming. I’ve been counting on your sweetness since I was a child. Among these children, you are my aunt’s favorite.”
Tonight is Zhuang Qingfu’s birthday party. Respectable people from all walks of life are here. Many people want to come up and chat with her. They not only want to celebrate but also want to get on the banker’s ship.
Zhuang Qingfu was like a porcelain doll, wearing a decent smile from beginning to end. Li Jingtong could see that she had no intention of talking to these people here. Zhuang Yi ran over to support her and said in an awkward manner: “Sister, you are really gorgeous today. You perfectly interpret the state of overwhelming a country and a city. Everyone on the court is a foil.”
“It’s just your sweet words,” although it was a bit exaggerated, but it was very applicable to her. Zhuang Qingfu’s fatigue just disappeared and she cheered up again, “Are they all here?”
“Who dares not to come to your birthday party?”
“That’s right, let’s go.”
It was impossible to ignore the fact that they were together. Several people stood up. After Zhuang Qingfu sat down, Xiao Minghan sat down next to her, while Zhuang Yi looked at him with disdain.
As soon as I sat down, the deserted corner became the center of the circle, and I drank one round after another. I wanted to relax here, but I didn’t expect that I was even more tired.After a group of people suddenly arrived, the atmosphere here became inexplicably dull.
They didn’t even look up, and drank their own wine. They didn’t feel embarrassed about the visitor, and didn’t leave. Seeing that no one was willing to pay attention to them, and they also showed an attitude of not giving up until they achieved their goals, An Yan stood up first, raised his glass to them, and asked: “Hello, how can you guys do anything?”
A girl wearing a red tube top skirt, so short that she could see a large area of scenery, said delicately, “I am Lin Jiaojiao, and my father is Lin Haijun. I do…”
When these words came out, they felt as if they had eaten flies. Lin Haijun and the others all knew what kind of person he was. He was in the real estate field. The company was not big, but his methods were extremely cruel. The workers on the construction site dared not speak out against him.
An accident happened to a worker on his construction site before. He not only ignored it but also used the matter to shorten the construction period, just to be able to open the market before everyone else. This matter was widely spread at the time, and he used money to keep it quiet, but people in the circle still knew about it.The family of the person who had the accident wanted an explanation, but his people sent them to the hospital. Afterwards, they were sent away with only a small amount of medical expenses. They wanted to sue him, but the person who had the accident was the backbone of their family and the only one who went to college. The entire family’s expenses wereDepend on him, now that something happened to him, it was equivalent to their family’s financial source being cut off, and even normal life becoming a problem. There was no extra money to file a lawsuit. There was no news about this incident later, but some people knew the final result well.
As the saying goes, the upper beam is crooked and the lower beam is crooked. Naturally, she will not be any better with her father like this. Her arrogance in school made many people dislike her, and they wanted to put a sack on her and beat her severely. She had been persuaded to quit because of bullying her classmates before.That classmate was also tortured to the point of schizophrenia. Lin Haijun spent a lot of money to prevent this incident from entering Lin Jiaojiao’s files. In the end, she went to the hospital without repentance, sneered at the man, and fell from the sixth floor because of her excitement.
Even people with a little bit of self-cultivation look down upon her style. The people behind her are either colluding with her, or they are afraid of becoming the target of public criticism.
On such a beautiful day, it was a sight to see her. The two girls next to her held her hands and whispered something to her. Lin Jiaojiao stared at her so hard that she dared not speak. Despite this, she still clung to her like a dog-skin plaster.
“You don’t need to tell us that we all know. No one here knows about the things you did, and they don’t know how you got in.”
Lin Jiaojiao was very happy at first, but when she heard the second half of the sentence, she looked very unhappy, but she still kept smiling, her throat seemed to be caught by a paper clip, and said, “Brother Zhuang Yi, what do you mean? I just want to celebrate Sister Qingfu, why are you so hostile to me.”
After saying that, he went to take the gift from the person next to him. Others looked sideways, frowned, looked Zhuang Yi up and down, and looked at him with a disgusted expression. Zhuang Yi immediately became anxious when he saw them looking at him like this, trying to pull himself out of this quagmire, “Why are you looking at me like this?”
The next second, they all sighed, shook their heads, and looked away in one breath. Zhuang Yi seemed to have been stripped naked, and he immediately lost his temper at Lin Jiaojiao, “If you are sick, just go get it treated. Your vocal cords will be packed up and you will leave, right? If you say one more word, I will break off your teeth. I just don’t hit women, so it depends on whether I treat you as a human being.”
Zhuang Qingfu smiled contemptuously, stood up and asked the passing servant to take her gift, and then said in a scolding tone: “Zhuang Yi, what did your parents tell you? I apologize to you for Xiao Yi. He is an outspoken person. Thank you Miss Lin for the gift, but Xiao Yi only has an older sister and no younger sister. Please be careful with your words, Miss Lin.”
Zhuang Yi sat aside and sulked, but when he saw Lin Jiaojiao’s face fell instantly, most of his anger dissipated. Seeing that the gift in his hand had been taken by the servant, and his hands were still wearing cleaning gloves, this made the arrogant and conceited Lin Jiaojiao grit her teeth., gouging out the servant fiercely, her nostrils shrinking in anger, pinching the arm of the person next to her with her fingers, the whiteness of her fingertips is enough to show how angry she is now. Even so, she still stayed away and no one was willing to talk to him. She had to turn to talk to An Yu, who was the most aloof.
“Brother Anyu…”
An Yu paused for a moment before putting the wine glass to her lips. She didn’t even look at her during the whole process. Zhuang Qingfu knew that if the other party said another word, An Yu would just walk away. She immediately helped him out and said, “Miss Lin, please forgive me, Ayou, he is allergic to strangers.”
As soon as these words came out, even the person involved’s eyes widened. Tang Moci used his hands to cover up the corners of his mouth, while Xiao Minghan gave her a thumbs up. Zhuang Yi immediately turned his back and lowered his head. An Yan looked at his brother who was allergic to strangers and fell into deep thought. Lin Jiaojiao could no longer hold her face, and finally left as fast as a deflated ball, for fear that she would not be able to maintain her expression the next second.
An Yu saw that the person who lied didn’t feel any guilt at all. Zhuang Qingfu sat back, spread her hands, and said helplessly: “There is no other way. You don’t want to get entangled with her.”
“That’s true.”
A few people drank until early in the morning, and many people left in the hall. An Yan and An Yu, who drank the most, walked out sober. Zhuang Yi was dragged back to the room by the servant at home. Zhuang Qingfu was not much better. Xiao Minghan held her hand and couldn’t let go. The two families couldn’t talk about it.
“Minghan, Xiao Minghan, get up and go home.” Zhuang Qingfu woke up first and whispered into his ear.
Xiao Minghan reacted, lowered his head and buried himself in Zhuang Qingfu’s arms, saying with a bit of coquettishness: “Sister Qingfu, don’t leave, I’m not afraid, you can just hit me from now on, okay?”
The two families originally intended for the two to form a couple, but one was finishing his studies and the other was abroad, so the matter was delayed. The two families looked at them and covered their mouths and snickered, and they were in a stalemate for a while before they separated the two.
When Xiao Minghan woke up, it was already noon, and there was no light coming through the curtains. He fumbled on his slippers, opened the curtains and welcomed the sun. The scene in front of him felt strange and familiar, and the huge Ferris wheel came into view. This position just happened to overlook the city.
“Give it a try and I won’t regret it.”
He quickly changed his equipment and prepared to go to the amusement park today. He squeezed into the crowded park and waited patiently in line to do anything. He still remembered someone once said, “No matter what you do, you must be patient. Patience can help you get rid of many bad habits and gain a lot of things.”
He didn’t complain, he just kept waiting in line, and slowly he got there. Finally, he had a purple cone in his hand, and he was full of appetite just looking at it.
Xiao Minghan was sitting on the roller coaster, with screams in his ears, but his expression remained unchanged. There was a man and a woman in front of him. The girl screamed, and the boy quickly hid in the girl’s arms.
The weather seemed to know that he was lonely, and it started to rain lightly, as if he was crying for her. Xiao Minghan bought a raincoat from the vendor.
“Handsome, buy mine, you can’t find anything cheaper than mine.”
Xiao Minghan bought one without saying anything. When he got to the next stall, he found that one was cheaper than the other. He instantly felt like a victim.
He completely lost the mood to play, threw away the raincoat he had just bought, took a taxi and returned to the hotel. In order to avoid being noticed, he withdrew a large amount of cash this morning and re-registered his mobile phone number. Now he would hardly be traced.
“You asked Minghan to come down for dinner. How long have you been unable to get up?”
“Yes.”
The servant immediately went to knock on the door. There was no sound for a long time. When he opened the door, he saw no one in the bedroom. The servant immediately went downstairs and told Xiao Dongcheng the bad news.
He stood up instantly, the fist in his hand became tighter and tighter, and said: “It seems that this kid is itchy again.”
Zhao Qingqing was not surprised and continued to drink the porridge from the bowl and said: “This child used to love to play. I didn’t expect that he would still be like this after so many years. He came back in two days without any problems.”
Xiao Dongcheng had no choice but to nod and call his assistant to check his whereabouts.
“Mr. Xiao, the young master didn’t leave any trace this time, but he took a large amount of cash this morning.”
He had expected this when he heard the news. In the past, he only went out to play for two days and then came back. He didn’t expect that he would be so clean this time, and he always felt uneasy in his heart.
Zhuang Yi soon found out about this, and he immediately told Tang Moci.
“This guy ran away again. Look, I won’t beat him until he comes back, and he will kneel down and beg for mercy.”
“How many days do you bet on him coming back this time? I bet on a week as the longest time.”
Tang Moci had been used to it for a long time and was not surprised at all by him running away from home. He even made a bet, and Zhuang Yi followed closely behind, “I bet for five days.”
“I bet for a month.”
As soon as he said this, both of them looked at him. Zhuang Qingfu came in from the door and vowed to place a bet with the two of them. Zhuang Yi quickly smiled bitterly and said: “My good sister, please don’t get involved.”
“Why are you allowed to gamble but not me? What are the rules?”
“How dare you,” Tang Moci said, “If Sister Qingfu wants to bet, of course we will accompany her, but what is the bet?”
“Just like you, I can also have more than you.” Zhuang Qingfu said confidently.
“Okay.”
“Okay.”
After leaving, Zhuang Qingfu made a cross-border call. The person on the other end remembered a foreigner who was not proficient in Chinese. His voice was sonorous and powerful, and she was very angry when she heard it. Zhuang Qingfu said: “Joyce, are you here?”
“Here we are… here… it’s really… beautiful…” Joyce stuttered, “I really… like it.”
“You find a hotel to stay in first. I’ll probably go find you tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.”
“Okay.”
Joyce pulled her suitcase, a sleeveless vest and ultra-short jeans, and ran in the rain. The rain made her eyes unable to see the road ahead. Her eyelashes and eyebrows were covered with rainwater, and his golden hair was pulled up high on the back of his head.
“Hello, handsome guy, can I ask where you sell umbrellas?”
The other replied, “If I had known, I would not have left empty-handed.”
Then he walked past her and walked behind her. Joyce followed him and walked in, only to realize that this was a hotel. There were many people in the lobby, most of whom were hiding from the rain. Joyce walked to the front desk and asked, “Hello, are there any free rooms?”
“Yes.”
“I want a room.”
“Okay.”
Joyce couldn’t wait to go up and take a hot bath. As soon as she got out of the elevator, she saw the handsome guy from before.
“We are really destined. I live next door to you. Let me introduce you formally. I am Joyce. Do you know anything about this place? This is my first time here. Can you introduce it to me?”
“Hello, my name is Xiao Minghan. I don’t know much about this place. I may not be able to be your guide. I’m sorry.”
After saying that, he took the takeout in front of the door and entered the room. Joyce did not feel disappointed, but quickly packed up, took a shower, lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
