Chapter 71: Qualifications for Toasting

When these old friends of my grandfather heard this, they couldn't help but persuade him: "Lao Chen, I said that you are too stubborn, Su Su is your daughter after all, and we grew up watching." Chen Feng has always been your grandson, and you still feel that you are unproductive in the first place in the city, are you too demanding? ”

Xu Lao sat on the side, with a smile on his face, but he didn't say anything, his grandfather waved his hand and said: "Brothers, brothers, today is Lao Xu's birthday, don't mention these ugly things in my family, they all say that the ugliness of the family is not publicized, and my face is also dull." ”

My grandfather said so, and the others didn't say anything more.

Chu Tian took me to sit with a group of sons and brothers to eat, Shen Junwen naturally followed behind Xie Yao's buttocks, and halfway through, I got up and went to the bathroom, and when I came out of the bathroom, I happened to meet Chen Mengqi.

Chen Mengqi saw me, stunned for a moment, she didn't speak, I naturally wouldn't take the initiative to deal with her, I washed my hands and was about to leave, Chen Mengqi suddenly said: "Chen Feng, this kind of place, it's not that you should come." ”

I stopped and said, "Really, why can you come and I can't?"

Chen Mengqi was dumbfounded for a while, but her face became a little stiff, as if she was a little unhappy about my confrontation. Chen Mengqi said: "Last time, you didn't embarrass me, so I kindly reminded you that since you don't appreciate it, and you are so obsessed, the reason is self-inflicted, that's your business, I can't care about it." However, I can tell you very clearly that the circle of upper-class people is not something that you can squeeze in if you attach to Chutian, or if you have good grades and are favored by Teacher Xu. Here, what is needed is identity, status, and family background. And you...... It seems like nothing!"

Chen Mengqi taught me a lesson, in fact, I knew that she still looked down on me in her heart, but she just took the opportunity to show off herself, showing that she was an upper-class person, and I was a low-level person.

I smiled coldly, ignored Chen Mengqi, and walked back to my seat, Chen Mengqi stomped behind me and said, "You are such a very annoying guy, you are all to blame, no wonder who wants to target you." ”

I returned to my seat, and Chu Tian asked me, "Where are you going to go when the party is over?"

I said, "Go home, I have class tomorrow." ”

Chu Tian smiled and said, "Go home so early, why don't I take you to a fun place." ”

I said let's talk about it later, the banquet time passed quickly, and soon it was time to toast, but don't underestimate this small toast, ordinary people are really not qualified to toast Xu Lao, the first to go is naturally Xu Yingying, Xu Lao does not drink, generally tea instead of wine, Xu Yingying said a few words of birthday wishes, Xu Lao laughed and said: "Okay, well, sit down." ”

After Xu Yingying toasted, Xie Yao also ran over and called sweetly: "Grandpa Xu, I wish you a long life than Nanshan, a blessing like the East China Sea, and a happy day." ”

Old Xu nodded with satisfaction, in fact, this kind of thing is just a situation, just to be happy, at our table, only Chu Tian stood up alone, he whispered to me: "I'll go and toast Grandpa Xu, you sit first." ”

I nodded, this kind of thing naturally has no part of me, and I don't want to be in this kind of limelight.

Who can not know Chu Tian's fame, he used to toast, and Xu Lao only smiled kindly, after all, many people know the relationship between the Chu family and the Xu family, and it is natural for Chu Tian to call Grandpa Xu.

Some old friends of Mr. Xu next to him said: "Old Xu, seeing that your family is harmonious and full of children and grandchildren, we are really envious." ”

Xu Lao said: "What kind of children and grandchildren are full, they are all busy, and it is rare to go home in a year, so I let these young people come to play, stay with young people more, and feel that I can be younger." ”

Old Xu laughed heartily, and at this time, his grandfather beckoned to Chen Mengqi and said, "Mengqi, come and toast your grandfather Xu!"

Chen Mengqi immediately stood up, and even the eldest aunt had a look of pride on her face, the eldest aunt was originally a person who tended to be inflammatory, how could she not understand that the people who were qualified to go to Xu Lao's table to toast were not close relatives were all very status, the rich second generation here, there were many sons and brothers, and most of the people were not qualified to toast.

Even Shen Junwen can only sit obediently and is not qualified.

Chen Mengqi had a hint of pride on her face, she attended this kind of occasion, she was also dressed up deliberately, and she looked very eye-catching among many people, she walked to Xu Lao's table step by step, and looked at me intentionally or unintentionally, as if showing off.

Chu Tian said next to me: "You cousin, I think I am proud, with her kind of heart, she can't go too far in her life." ”

Chen Mengqi was about to open his mouth to celebrate his birthday, but Xu Lao suddenly said: "Oh, I drank a little too much tea today, and it was a little uncomfortable, Mengqi, I don't think you have to toast, eat and drink by yourself, and have fun." It's just a situation, and you don't have to be stubborn. ”

Although Xu Lao said that he drank too much tea, other people didn't think so, thinking that Xu Lao didn't want Chen Mengqi to toast, or that she was not qualified to go.

I shook my head secretly, my grandfather, is still too anxious to see the situation here?

He took Chen Mengqi with him, it was nothing more than showing off, and more importantly, he wanted her to show her face in this circle, if she could get Xu Lao's appreciation, it would naturally be the best.

Grandpa is too utilitarian, what kind of person is Xu Lao, I'm afraid he has already seen through his thoughts, the only relationship between the Chen family and the Xu family is nothing more than that grandpa used to be comrades-in-arms with Xu Lao, that's all.

And this kind of relationship, just like the relationship I handled with Chutian before, a brother is a brother, a friend is a friend, people are high, and they are willing to be friends with you, but you can't hold the mind of wanting to cling to the top, mixed with selfishness, the relationship will be difficult to maintain.

Chu Tian said with a smile: "It's really lifting a stone to shoot yourself in the foot, Chen Mengqi didn't even figure out what his identity was, so he went to serve tea and humiliated himself!"

I was silent, I could only sigh in my heart that their circle was too complicated, Chen Mengqi looked embarrassed, it was not to stand there and walk, nor to stay, and the eldest aunt was even more blushing, embarrassed to speak.

Grandpa is a man who is dozens of years old, so he hurriedly said: "Since your grandfather Xu is not feeling well, you can go back to your seat if you say two birthday greetings." ”

Chen Mengqi knew that she was embarrassed, so she could only say a few words casually, and then walked back to her seat, she looked at me again, but she didn't have the pride and pride she had before.

Grandpa hurriedly said to Old Xu: "Old Xu, this kid is not very sensible and can't speak, don't mind." ”

Xu Lao waved his hand and said, "What Meng Qi said is very good, Lao Chen, your granddaughter is getting more and more beautiful as she grows, not bad!"

At this time, Xu Yingying walked towards my table, I thought to myself? After Xu Yingying brought me, it was equivalent to throwing me here, ignoring me, and now finally remembering me.

If she hadn't said early in the morning that she would take me to meet someone, I would have left long ago. She walked up to me and said, "Chen Feng, you also go to toast." ”

I wondered, "Toast to whom?"

Xu Yingying frowned and said, "What do you say?" Of course it's my grandfather, go quickly!"

My head shook like a rattle, what kind of occasion is this, even Wang Zhiyue and Lu Linxuan didn't go to toast, how can I be qualified to go? Besides, the embarrassing scene of Chen Mengqi's toast just now is still vivid, so I don't want to find myself unhappy.

I said, "I'm not going, didn't your grandfather say that it's uncomfortable to drink too much tea?"

Xu Yingying raised her eyebrows, her face suddenly turned a little cold, and she said coldly: "There is so much nonsense, if you let you go, you can go, hurry up! If you don't go, I won't care about Xie Yao's affairs in the future." ”

Suddenly 10,000 grass and mud horses galloped past me in my heart, isn't this a clear threat to me?

Looking at Xu Yingying's appearance, it doesn't look like you're joking with me anymore. I tentatively asked, "Are you sure you're not kidding me?"

Xu Yingying said, "Did I joke with you?"

As soon as I gritted my teeth, I wanted to go, anyway, I was thick-skinned, what was there to be afraid of. This kid Chutian patted me and said, "Go ahead, it's just a toast, and I won't kill you." Didn't Grandpa Xu save you? But don't say too much about birthday celebrations when you go up, do it yourself first, so as not to be embarrassed like your cousin. ”

I nodded to Chu Tian and thanked him for the reminder, but Wang Zhiyue and the others didn't say anything, and I don't know if they were expecting me to lose face or something else!
