Chapter Thirteen: Inversion
In the private room on the second floor, a group of people who "pretend" to order food were waiting for Shui Zexi to enter the door, so they had a gossip. Everyone sat down around the big round table, discussing what to order, and glanced at the door from time to time.
"This, this, this, this, all order." People in the twenty-somethings must have ordered more dishes. Jin Ling pointed to the picture on the menu and said to the waiter. She had come here to eat it before, but she thought it was quite delicious at that time. But she hadn't eaten it after returning from abroad. I don't know how it tastes now, and I missed the taste at that time.
"Did you order it?" Shui Zexi asked when she entered the door.
"You are finally here, we order, you are the only one left!" Haha, it was like saying it was true.
"I ordered them all, they didn't." Jin Ling told the truth.
"Why don't you order? Today, Jin Ling treats you, let's talk about the front, if you don't eat today, you'll be gone!" Your best friend, don't be polite!
"We all know that today is Xiao Jinling's treat. When are you going to treat?" Oh, I'm still thinking about the next meal.
"Don't I treat you every day? I contracted your lunch!" Shui Zexi retorted.
"That's a working meal, we have to eat wedding candy! Have a wedding wine!" He said it clearly, and the other friends nodded together. Jin Ling's mouth twitched and refused to laugh, and she saw what to do when she saw Shui Zexi.
"Oh, then wait. Before I get married, you have to help me prepare the wedding dress." Yangyangyang's drawings. "Please trouble you!" Today, Shui Zexi was really "compassionate"! He asked everyone to come for dinner and brought a "big gift".
"Oh, let's see, what kind of wedding dress is it?" Just to make a piece of clothing, they are professional!
Shui Zexi put the design drawings on the table, "That's it."
It took too long for some of the notes on the sketch to be blurred. A group of friends gathered together to look at the drawings and expressed their own opinions.
"Is this what you designed? When did you design it?" The style looks a bit old.
"I think the effect of making will be very different from the ones on the drawings. After all, what is drawn on your drawings is different from what is actually made." As he said, he looked at Shui Zexi. "Stand up, go there, go around and I'll take a look."
Shui Zexi got up and did as he did.
"This face is OK, it's just below the head, the proportion is a bit wrong! The legs are a little short." Looking at Shui Zexi wearing high heels, her friend "commented" her legs unceremoniously.
"My height is 1.68 meters, very standard, okay?" Shui Zexi was a little speechless. Who did you mess with today?
"Very standard? Who gave our Xiaozexi the courage?"
"Of course I gave it myself!" Shui Zexi became arrogant.
"Okay, that's all." Jin Ling handed the iPad to the waiter and reminded her again. "Please bring the cold dishes first. Everyone is hungry. Make the remaining dishes as soon as possible. It's troublesome."
Jin Ling, who had been ordering dishes, finally fulfilled her "mission".
"Is it finished?" A group of people reacted.
"Well, the order is over." Jin Ling nodded. "Eat first, order it if it's not enough. I also ordered two bottles of wine, and drink it together later. You guys applaud the driver first!" You can't drive drunk, this is a hard condition!
"Okay, don't be polite, hurry up, call me a designated driver!" It's rare that everyone can be so happy. It would be nice to have some wine to set off the atmosphere.
In the private room next door, Dugu Ming and Liu Shiyu sat at the table.
The food is from Liu Shiyu. She chose Dugu Ming’s favorite food. She suggested that she come here to have a meal. She originally wanted to "remind the old" with Dugu Ming. The friendship that grew up together since childhood cannot be forgotten. Thinking of seeing Shui Zexi just now, I felt awkward. The person I loved wanted to marry someone who didn’t know where to fight. After getting married, she had to wander in front of her eyes every day. She was in a state of silence and wanted to send it out as soon as possible, but there was no place to send it out, so she could only hold it in a hurry.
"Brother Ming, eat more." Liu Shiyu gave him a dish. "Seeing that you are busy with company affairs recently, you have lost weight. You usually have a sacrificial ceremony, and you are exhausting your energy every time." He blamed him, but he couldn't bear it, so he picked up a few pieces of meat in his bowl. It was his turn, and he only picked up some vegetarian dishes. He had something to do in his heart, but he didn't know how to eat it.
"What's wrong? It's like this since I saw the news this morning." He was really scared when he received the call this morning. Why did he cry? He kept asking him: Did you agree with this marriage? Why didn't you refuse? He knew that I like you so much, why did he marry someone else? He felt distressed when he cried.
He has heard these words before, and he always responds to her: I like you too. What he thinks is the love between brother and sister.
But Liu Shiyu doesn't think so. In her heart, liking is love! She loves him and wants to get him!
In the end, Dugu Ming personally advised her and promised her that she could stay with him forever, even if she got married, she would not have any intimate relationship with Shui Zexi. She was just a nominal couple.
Just now, the test made him feel Shui Zexi’s embarrassment. He also saw the design drawings in Shui Zexi’s hand. This dress is very important to her.
"I have promised you that she is just a nominal couple, and you can still stay with me." Dugu Ming sighed and continued, "I can also tell you that she called me last night and said she wanted to negotiate a prenuptial agreement."
"Prenuptial agreement? She asked you for money?" Most girls will think of money. She was adopted and know how difficult it is to have a person without money. "How much do you want?"
"She didn't ask me for money, but just asked for a place where I could live alone." Dugu Ming couldn't figure out Shui Zexi. Even though she had asked someone to investigate her, after she had actually contacted her, she found that she was a person who didn't play according to common sense. Generally, people would first ask their children whether they liked each other. In this society, can they force their heads to press? After she knew about it, she did not refuse, but just asked for a place where she could not be disturbed. The gift money was discussed by her father Shui Qingmu. Judging from the request she made, she should not know the amount of the gift money. According to the investigation results, Shui Zexi only knew that she had an engagement with her yesterday and knew nothing else. Even a chance encounter in a cafe was an accident.
"Then where did you arrange her? Where is the yard where grandma lives?" After thinking about it, the only people in the county town of Daman is the small courtyard next to the yard where grandma lives.
"No, it's in the backyard. There are few people there, and no one will go there to disturb her. I have sent someone to renovate the small building. When she enters the Dugu family, she can live there directly." Thinking about my heart, I saw her at first, and it was a little confused. After two days, I finally calmed down. He is the head of the family, and no matter who is standing next to him, it cannot affect him.
"But grandma agreed to this marriage. Will grandma agree to let her live in the backyard?" Liu Shiyu was a little worried. Yesterday, grandma told her that Dugu Ming's wife came in and asked her to restrain her temper. Get along well and don't make it difficult for Dugu Ming to do it. This was like destroying other people's family by herself, and she felt very unhappy.
"I am the head of the family." He has already given up on the marriage. The conditions for living alone were proposed by Shui Zexi himself, and he will do it. What else do you want him to do?
"Oh." He agreed weakly.
"Don't think too much, eat." He put a piece of fish into Liu Shiyu's bowl, and his voice softened. He still doesn't know what he felt about Shui Zexi for the time being. His feelings for Liu Shiyu are indeed family affection. He can lose love, but not family affection.
When looking at the dishes on the table, Shui Zexi and her friends' chins almost fell to the ground, and the dining table with a diameter of more than two meters was full. I wondered if Jin Ling's words "I'm not enough to order more" were joking. If so, then this joke was a bit cold.
"Jin Ling, do you think of them as Meow Meow?" This way of eating is no different from preparing three lunches for Meow Meow.
"Zexi!" The friends looked at Shui Zexi in unison and protested silently - we are not Meow Meow!
"Everyone has worked hard recently, hurry up and eat!" Shui Zexi called out.
"Zexi, eat less, Jin Ling invites us today."
"That's it!"
"We have so many people, we can definitely finish it."
"Yes, after all, only when you are full can you have the energy to lose weight..." Shui Zexi said, and the whole room burst into laughter in an instant.
"It has nothing to do with losing weight today!" Jin Ling interrupted. "If you don't eat, it will make Zexi faint from hunger. Let's see how you explain to her fiancé!"
Shui Zexi didn't speak, trying hard to treat herself as air. Why did this "fire" burn back? I really said speechlessly! Shut up, don't speak, and try hard to eat!
The waiter opened the wine and poured it for everyone. Only Shui Zexi did not drink wine, but changed it to grape juice.
"Today everyone eats and drinks well, and don't go home without getting drunk!" Jin Ling picked up the wine glass and shook it. The sweet wine was filled with fragrance.
"Yes, I listen to Jin Ling today."
"Zexi feels wronged today, let's follow Jin Ling today." Alas, what kind of world is this? She can "buy" her friends in one meal and "abandon" her ruthlessly.
"I'll just take a look and don't speak." Shui Zexi said for a long time.
A group of friends talk every day when they have nothing to do, and their relationship is getting better and better.
A meal, chatting around the world. When you have enough food and drink, look at the dining table. I have to admire them. They are all foodie-level! There is nothing left on the table, this is amazing!
"Let's go back and rest in the afternoon, I'll give you half a day off!" This was the temporary decision by Shui Zexi.
"Where are you going back later?" Jin Ling asked her.
"I have to go to your house to pick up the car and then go back to the mansion." Don't think that you can do whatever you want with your father. After all, she is still a sister.
"Please put your design drawings on my side first. I'll go back and see how to change them."
"Since you're going to get married, you have to be a little memorable."
"Make a wedding dress and treat it as a gift we gave. Remember to give us wedding candies!"
"I know, I know. I want to pick up the wedding candy myself. Then I will arrange you at the same table, and the amount of dishes is twice that of another table!" Shui Zexi said hilariously. Why didn't you know that these friends could eat so much before? Today, she really refreshed her three views.
"Okay, no problem, we will definitely finish eating, that's it!"
"Yeah, it's settled!"
...
Two people in the private room next door, Dugu Ming picked up food for her, and Liu Shiyu also picked up food for her. Her brother Ming was right in front of her, so she didn't have time to get angry for an outsider again.
At the end of this meal, Liu Shiyu was in a good mood.
"Brother Ming, can we come here often in the future?" Liu Shiyu felt that it was no longer important whether Shui Zexi married into the Dugu family. What mattered was where Dugu Ming's heart was. At this time, Dugu Ming's heart was with her. "It's just the two of us!"
The word "Okay." makes people feel relieved.
"Don't go to the company in the afternoon. Go back and rest. There will be a sacrificial activity in a few days. You have to take a few days off!" Liu Shiyu suggested. Every time the sacrificial sacrifice ends, Dugu Ming will spend too much energy at home to rest. She sees it in her eyes and hurts it in her heart.
"Okay, you'll make the decision today." Dugu Ming followed her.
