Chapter 6 Sister, still wife
Xue Shufan's life is very dramatic.
Even though they were both biological, her father favored his stepdaughter... Mrs. Xue was so proud that she abandoned her family before the family could abandon her.
Lian Li said: "At this moment, my uncle may be in the ancestral hall, practicing the daily question: Does the eldest lady realize her mistake? The housekeeper replied: No!"
Xue Shufan laughed.
After paying the bill at the restaurant, the two of them were in a happy mood, and Xue Shufan took the initiative to suggest going to the bar.
Lian Li has no objection.
STAR is a long-established bar with a large venue, great atmosphere and great drinks. At night, neon lights and noise fill every corner.
In the round bar, the bartender was greeting the guests. Lian Li and Xue Shufan sat at the bar, and each ordered a low-concentration special cocktail.
Xue Shufan: "I haven't seen you wearing green clothes."
Lian Li was wearing a black skirt and a green shirt today. The green shirt looked like a lush forest, making her skin even whiter, like flawless mutton-fat jade.
"Aren't other colors bad?" The clothes in Lian Li's wardrobe are basically simple and elegant colors.
"Of course you look good! It's just that it's rare to see you wearing clothes in bright colors like red and green."
Xue Shufan's cell phone was placed on the bar. When the call came in, it was from the laboratory. She and Lian Li signaled and found a quiet place to answer the call.
On the basement floor, a resident band and dance floor enthusiasts danced to the flickering lights.
Lian Li sat in front of the bar, swiping her fingertips across the screen of her phone to check the US Nasdaq and A-share Shanghai Composite Index.
The noisy and dynamic music changed direction three times. Xue Shufan hadn't come back yet and was about to send a message to ask about the situation.
Xue Shufan's WeChat message came first: "Lili, change positions and come to the second floor to sing! I'll wait for you at the door!"
Just by reading the text, you can feel that this Mai Ba is extremely excited.
Lian Li went up to the second floor, and Xue Shufan was afraid that she would not be found and went to the stairs to wait for her.
Xue Shufan held Lian Li's arm and walked along the dim corridor, leading her forward.
"I just met an old friend who returned from overseas, a childhood playmate. He was sent abroad in high school and just came back recently."
"Although you have friends from far away, you must have too many old friends." Lian Li said, "How many are this, the third one?"
Xue Shufan smiled and said: "You can never have too many friends!"
They entered the VIP box hidden in the darkness of the STAR bar.
The private room is huge, and there is someone sitting on the sofa with his back to the door. The man is holding the back of the sofa with one hand, holding a cigarette between his bony fingers, and brushing the ashes... leisurely, looking very relaxed. and casual.
Lian Li felt familiar for some reason, but before she could find out the result, Xue Shufan had already pulled her to sit on the sofa on the other side.
"Pei Qingji, my junior sister Lian Li." Xue Shufan introduced her to her old friend.
Pei Qingji wears a pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose, has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and has a gentle temperament.
The prince of the Pei family of Zhongtai Bank was sent abroad by Mr. Pei when he was fifteen years old, and he just returned home recently.
Lian Li raised her lips politely: "Hello."
Pei Qingji looked at her quickly and was about to say hello when Zhong Yang on the sofa on the other side suddenly stood up and said in surprise:
"Isn't this brother Yan Ting's sister, Li Mei!"
The moment he finished speaking, the sounds of drinking and playing in the box disappeared instantly.
Everyone looked at Lian Li.
He has almond-shaped eyes, a straight bridge of his nose, and the outline of his facial features is like a meticulously painted gongbi painting. Her eyes and lips are slightly upturned when she is not smiling, with a wonderful sweetness.
Whether looking at the skin or bones, they all have stunning looks.
Jin Shiyue was sitting on the sofa, his long legs lazily folded over each other, his eyes casually scanning Lian Li, his eyes cold and intriguing.
"Brother Yan Ting's sister..." someone shouted, "Second Young Master, is this your sister or your wife?"
Sister or wife?
After the teasing ended, Jin Shiyue flicked the cigarette on his fingertips, tilted his head, and cast his eyes casually on Lian Li, with a magnetic voice and a lazy smile. "I'm also curious. Is this my sister or my wife?"
The spotlights in the box were soft, illuminating the man's handsome and profound face, making his naughty smile look evil.
Not many people know about the relationship between Lian Li and Jin Yanting.
Zhong Yang only knew that Jin Yanting was raising a little girl outside. In the past few months, he had only met Lian Li after joining the circle.
Before Lian Li could speak, Zhong Yang immediately responded and told Jin Shiyue: "Mei Li is Brother Yan Ting's sister, and of course she is also your sister."
"Such a treasure, I think it's Miss Zhong!"
Everyone laughed.
After the joke, the box fell back into drinking and banter.
Zhong Yang asked the waiter to bring over the good wine that the second young master had stored here.
The waiter glanced at Jin Shiyue, and saw that the uninterested second young master had no objection, so he agreed.
Sometimes silence is the best crisis communication.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
If you don’t see the excitement you want to see, everyone will soon leave without interest.
When everyone's attention was no longer on her, Lian Li looked unharmed and greeted Jin Shiyue: "Mr. Jin."
Detachment is appropriate, neither humble nor arrogant.
Jin Shiyue raised his eyelids and stared at her, his dark eyes lazily making it difficult to see the specific expression.
The junior sister's accent has a subtle Taipei accent, like fresh rushes.
It seems that there are more people with the surname "Lian" in Taipei.
After thinking about this, Pei Qingji asked Lian Li: "Has my junior sister ever stayed in Taipei?"
Lian Li took the wine from Zhong Yang, thanked him, and said to Pei Qingji, "No."
After a pause, she added: "My dad is from Taipei. He later settled in the capital, and his speech more or less retains Taipei's habits."
Xue Shufan took a sip of wine and suddenly realized: "No wonder I always feel gentle and artistic when listening to you, more comfortable than the announcer. It turns out to be because of the Taipei accent."
"Isn't the Taipei accent a locomotive and cutesy one?" Zhong Yang asked, tilting his head.
Xue Shufan said: "You have no idea. That is just a stereotype. If you have time, go to the field for more field visits to eliminate the stereotype."
Zhong Yang laughed casually and said: "What are you doing on-site inspection? Isn't there a ready-made sister?"
Pei Qingji and Xue Shufan met as good friends, and they talked relatively close to each other. They talked about research projects, the headquarters of Zhongtai Group, and the story of the downfall of the princess.
"Thanks to You Lili for supporting me, otherwise I would have been living on the streets without any money." Xue Shufan had a cheerful personality and put his arm around Lian Li's shoulders.
Lian Li had a faint smile in her eyes and said, "That's not because you are worth it."
Zhong Yang opened a deck of playing cards and called Lian Li and Xue Shufan over to play cards.
Lian Li looked around calmly and sat down calmly.
To her left was Jin Shiyue, who was leaning leisurely on the single sofa.
Zhong Yang was shuffling the playing cards and murmuring: "Li Mei is so good at playing cards. Brother Yan Ting asks her to play for him every time."
Jin Shiyue raised his eyes, his gaze fell loosely on Lian Li's face, and he said casually: "Are you good at poker?"
Interrogative, but affirmative tone.
Lian Li smiled: "Mr. Jin is complimenting me, I only have a superficial understanding of it."
This was said so well that it stands to reason that there should be no faults. Who knows...
Jin Shiyue looked at her, his thin lips twitching into a smile, his expression unchanged: "What, am I not worthy of your brother?"
Good morning, two updates today.
