"Hey," she called out to He Zhou who had already walked a dozen steps away. "You can't be so stingy. Can't I apologize to you? "
"Forget it." He turned around.
"Can I buy you dinner?" she asked with a smile.
"Sure." He would definitely not let her pay. "Let's get on the ferry."
"Since it only costs two yuan, let's go." The two of them walked up the stairs and entered the underground passage. They bought tickets and boarded the ferry.
"Should I take a picture for you?" He raised his phone.
"No need." She turned around and leaned against the railing. She looked at the surging river and combed her hair that had been messed up by the wind. "It's nice."
He Zhou said, "Come here more often."
"As long as I have time." She replied with a smile.
When they reached the other side of the river, she rejected He Zhou's suggestion to go to a big restaurant. "You'll eat me poor."
"It's my treat." He Zhou understood.
"I'm not going either." She led the way into a small restaurant that served rice with meat and vegetables. She ate with relish, but He Zhou picked up his chopsticks and ate without much interest. "Hey, eat. It'll be a waste if you don't eat. I'd rather be stuffed to death than occupy the basin."
Qu Fu finally understood that he was no different from others. He was a spoiled rich young master who grew up in a greenhouse.
He Zhou did not notice any changes.
However, from then on, Qu Fu refused to go out with him when he asked her out. She did not reply to his occasional messages.
Vaguely, he felt that something was wrong.
He endured it and did not look for her at school.
His surname was He, so he should have a backbone.
Li Pei came to Pujiang to treat him to dinner. He did go, but his mind was elsewhere.
"What's wrong with you? You don't want to talk?" Li Pei threw him a cigarette and looked at Sang Chunling. "Is he heartbroken?"
Sang Chunling said, "I don't know."
She Ziling threw away the cards in her hand and said to He Zhou, "Forget it. You're not in the mood to play anyway."
He Zhou said, "Sorry to spoil your fun. You guys go ahead and play."
Li Pei hugged his shoulder. "Brother will take you to karaoke? Don't pull a long face. This isn't the Master Zhou I know. "
He Zhou said, "I'll be in a bad mood for a few days every month. Don't worry about me."
Li Pei said, "I went to America a few days ago and specially went to see Liu Shan. You won't believe me if I tell you, but that guy found a foreign woman. I think she's from the Czech Republic or Romania. I can't remember, but she's really pretty."
"I'm just messing around." She Ziling was all too clear about this bunch of rich young masters.
He Zhou said, "You don't understand Liu Shan."
Among all the friends around him, his character was the most similar to Liu Shan's. Therefore, he understood Liu Shan well. Liu Shan would not easily waste time in a relationship. Being in a relationship was like making a bet. He would not easily let himself lose.
"It doesn't look like a joke." Li Pei tossed a cherry into his mouth. He knew Liu Shan well. He was inexplicably clean, unlike his cousin, Li Lan.
A complete tsundere type. In the future, there must be a girl who can control him.
Sang Chunling said, "Then Fourth Uncle will go mad."
Liu Shan was the only son of Liu Four's family. Liu Four had extremely high expectations of him. If he really found a foreigner as a partner, the Liu family would probably find it hard to accept.
"He won't go mad." Li Pei smiled. "Liu Shan doesn't even dare to tell his family now. He wants me to make a decision. What can I do? He's prepared to do something that cannot be undone."
He Zhou said, "You should worry about yourself. How can you worry about him? You're in your thirties. It's almost the New Year. Don't you feel a sense of crisis? "
Li Pei tugged at his collar with both hands and smiled. "I've already met my father-in-law in Hong Kong."
He enjoyed everyone's shocked looks.
"What do you mean?" Sang Chunling asked, puzzled.
Li Pei said, "He's getting married. Maybe at the end of the year."
"Don't brag." He Zhou asked, "You dated yourself?"
Li Pei said, "I dated myself."
"Who?" She Ziling was also curious. In the circle, the biggest playboy was Li Pei. A girl who could make him restrain his temper was definitely not an ordinary person.
Li Pei said, "Huang Qili, the granddaughter of Malaysia's banking magnate. I met her by chance in Hong Kong. At first, I didn't know who she was and she didn't know who I was. So, fate is too wonderful for words.
My uncle is the matchmaker. Now, we're just waiting for the two families to decide on the wedding date. "
He Zhou cupped his hands. "Congratulations."
Li Pei smiled and cupped his hands in response. God knew how much pressure he had endured all these years. He was the eldest grandson of the Li family. Not only did his parents pressure him, his open-minded uncle and aunt did not let him off either.
They said that they wanted to set an example for Li Lan!
Li Lan not getting married was not his fault, right?
Why did they have to keep staring at him!
His aunt alone had introduced him to four girls in the past few years!
As for the girls' family backgrounds, needless to say, they were either rich or respectable.
However, without a doubt, he was the one who rejected them all!
He had the guts to reject them. According to his father, his surname was Li, and his uncle's name was Li He. That was enough.
After the Spring Festival, he and his parents rushed to Hong Kong for his wedding. His grandmother also came along.
Wang Yulan, who had long stopped caring about family affairs, was more anxious than anyone else about her eldest grandson finding a wife. Li He, who had not planned to come to Hong Kong, was also called over by her. If he dared not come, he would cry.
She knew in her heart that the only person who could manage the family affairs was her eldest son. Although her youngest son was not lacking in money, he was far from her eldest son.
Second Brother Li panicked immediately and chartered a plane to Hong Kong that night.
Li He's old house in Hong Kong had not been occupied for many years. Although there were people maintaining it, there was still a faint smell of mold in the air.
Revisiting the old place, Wang Yulan was filled with emotions. Looking at the abandoned pigsty and duck house, she could not help but cry again.
"Grandma, it's okay. If you like it here, you can stay for a while longer." Li Pei hurriedly comforted her. He had grown up here, but he had his own house in Hong Kong and rarely came here.
It was just that his house was not as luxurious as this place, and it seemed unpresentable to receive the bride's family.
Wang Yulan muttered, "I'm not coming."
She finally met her eldest granddaughter-in-law. She was tall and had a good face. The only thing that she was not satisfied with was that she was a little tanned.
She personally put the ring that she had treasured for many years on Huang Qili's finger.
"Grandma, it's too expensive." Li Pei was shocked. This was the only valuable gift that his grandfather had given to his grandmother. His grandmother had always treated it like a treasure.
"I'm happy to give it to my granddaughter-in-law," Wang Yulan said happily.
"Thank you, grandma." Huang Qili thanked her. The ring was obviously worn often as it was very shiny.
Li Pei said in a low voice, "Although it's not worth much, you must keep it well."
If the old lady regretted it one day and wanted to go back, it would not be a small matter if they could not find her.
Huang Qili said, "Don't worry. I will keep grandma's heirloom well."
