22: 022 Birthday Celebration 22: 022 Birthday Celebration The latecors were none other than Li Shuru, Xu Siyi, and Zheng Jingjing.
Guo Ran, having so personal matters, did not attend.
Of course.
Liang Zhenlun cared only about Li Shuru; whether the others ca or not was of no consequence to him.
Unlike his girlfriend Ai Qian, who found her own way there, for the arrival of Li Shuru and her two friends, the young master Liang not only personally went out to greet them but also made a grand introduction as they walked in the door.
“This is our beauty queen from East University’s Art Faculty, Li Shuru, and these two are her roommates, Xu Siyi and Zheng Jingjing, both mainstream beauties from our school!”
“Hello, everyone.”
Xu Siyi, not at all intimidated, greeted everyone with ease and grace.
The n and won in the private room warmly responded as well.
“Please, have a seat.”
After the pleasantries, Liang Zhenlun invited the three ladies to sit down and then muttered sothing about adding a few more bottles of Ace of Spades.
“Shu Rui drove here, she can’t drink.”
Having been forced to co, Zheng Jingjing imdiately said.
“No problem, we can just call a driver…”
He was halfway through his sentence when Liang Zhenlun sensed sothing off, looked at Li Shuru in surprise, and asked, “Drove here?”
“Yeah, Shu Rui recently bought a car.”
Xu Siyi explained.
“That’s great; then we should definitely drink a few more to celebrate.”
Liang Zhenlun didn’t think too much about it, assuming Li Shuru’s inco as a host would at best allow for an ordinary car costing around two to three hundred thousand.
“I really can’t drink.
Let Si Yi drink for ; I’ll have so juice instead.”
Li Shuru said aloud.
Since she was willing to co, it was a matter of giving face, and Liang Zhenlun didn’t want to be too insistent.
He just nodded his head and said with a smile, “Okay, then, Si Yi, Shu Rui’s share is yours.”
“No problem.”
Xu Siyi was very forthright.
Liang Zhenlun went out to order the drinks.
“Shu Rui, Si Yi, look, isn’t that…
Ai Qian?”
Out of nowhere, Zheng Jingjing whispered, her gaze fixed in a certain direction.
“What’s there to fuss about?
She’s Liang Zhenlun’s girlfriend, and it’s normal for her to be here on Liang Zhenlun’s birthday,” Xu Siyi said nonchalantly.
Li Shuru couldn’t help but glance in that direction.
She didn’t know Ai Qian and had never had any interactions with her before.
But due to Jiang Chen’s indiscriminate affection, it seed like there was an indescribable connection between the two of them.
Seemingly aware of Li Shuru’s gaze, Ai Qian turned her face to the side and smiled politely.
Li Shuru also responded with a slight smile and a nod of her head.
“She’s pretty good-looking, ah.
Jiang Chen has good taste; no wonder Liang Zhenlun wanted to snatch soone else’s girlfriend.”
Zheng Jingjing muttered.
The girls here were mostly heavily made-up, but Ai Qian, with a washed face, was not tainted by lead dust, resembling a white lotus flowering amidst the bright colors, which subjectively made her more likable.
Of course.
Zheng Jingjing knew that this senior was no white lotus, but a genuine green tea girl.
“They say East University produces beauties, and it’s indeed true.
Ladies, a toast to eting you for the first ti.”
People ca over to offer toasts one after another.
Xu Siyi did not refuse anyone, showing great generosity.
In no ti, she had blended in with everyone in the private room.
After Li Shuru arrived, Liang Zhenlun focused all his attention on her, nearly ignoring his official girlfriend.
Eventually, it was Ai Qian who took the initiative, picking up a glass of wine and walking over.
“Junior Li, I’ve heard lots about you.
Here’s a toast to you.”
“I drove here, so I can’t drink alcohol.
I’ll toast with juice instead, hope that’s okay with you, Senior Ai.”
Li Shuru greeted her with a smile.
“It’s fine.”
The two glasses clinked together, producing a crisp sound.
Li Shuru took a sip of her juice, while to everyone’s surprise, Ai Qian downed her whole glass of wine in one go and then walked back to her seat.
Xu Siyi and Zheng Jingjing both seed a bit off.
“She’s feeling a little under the weather, just leave her be,”
Liang Zhenlun laughed.
Upon hearing this, though she maintained a composed face, Zheng Jingjing’s inner contempt grew.
Is this even a man?
Who talks about his girlfriend like that?
At that mont, the door to the private room was pushed open.
A group of waiters carefully brought in several bottles of Ace of Spades.
With brilliant marketing tactics, this champagne should now be known by everyone.
The price varies by location, selling at a minimum of three thousand, and ten thousand per bottle at V club.
A few girls had already started to take photos with their phones, sharing them on social dia, dressing up their exquisite daily lives, adding bricks to the walls of their goddess personas.
“Just set them down,”
Liang Zhenlun said with nonchalant grace, exuding an aristocrat’s haughtiness and composure to the fullest.
What a poser!
Zheng Jingjing thought disdainfully.
She had seen many wealthy young masters who truly regarded money as dirt, but Liang Zhenlun clearly hadn’t reached that level.
His performance was deliberate, superficial, obvious, and thus contemptible.
But when her gaze inadvertently swept over a waiter bending down to place wine, Zheng Jingjing was abruptly taken aback.
Isn’t that…
“Hope the bosses are having fun,”
Just as the group of waiters was about to leave the private room, Liang Zhenlun unexpectedly called out.
“Wait, you, stay.”
The waiters looked at each other, bewildered.
Only the youngest of them remained calm, as if he had been expecting this.
“The rest of you can leave,”
Having sent the other waiters away, Liang Zhenlun’s mouth curved into a smile.
“Tsk, isn’t this Senior Jiang?
To run into you here, what a coincidence,”
Everyone in the private room examined the young man standing alone, dressed as a waiter.
“Tsk, those clothes really look handso on Senior Jiang, don’t you all agree?”
The East University students present, if they hadn’t seen him before, could guess who this waiter was and snickered with ill-intent.
“Handso!
Absolutely stunning!”
The others caught on to the trick and, playing along with Liang Zhenlun, burst into laughter.
For a mont,
The room was filled with joyful laughter.
After a brief shock, Xu Siyi didn’t laugh, but she also didn’t offer a helping hand, choosing instead to watch from the sidelines, which seed only reasonable.
Zheng Jingjing’s eyes showed sympathy.
Li Shuru’s expression was neutral as she quietly drank her juice, as if it were none of her business.
“Senior Jiang, it’s my birthday today, won’t you toast ?”
Liang Zhenlun’s smile was abundant, as if the previous conflict on the basketball court had never happened.
“We have a rule here, no drinking during work hours, I’m sorry.”
If it were anyone else in this situation, they might have longed to crawl into a hole, but this young man remained composed.
“Senior Jiang, don’t be like this, I’m a patron of your establishnt, and if not a god, at least a guest, right?
It’s just one drink, won’t you even give that much face?”
Liang Zhenlun’s eyes gradually beca more defiant.
Everyone watched the drama unfold with great interest.
At that mont, the music suddenly started playing.
“Turn off the music!”
Liang Zhenlun said sternly, not offering even a bit of courtesy to his girlfriend who inexplicably wanted to sing at this ti.
“Oh right, Ai Qian, aren’t you and Senior Jiang old friends?
Aren’t you going to say hello?”
