Chapter 34
: I want to cry without tears
"Uncle Yuan, Yanyan's concert was very successful this time, and the effect was very good. She really had the style of a superstar!"
The one who flattered Xiao Tangwen's father Xiao Yu, who was a man who had already gained weight, but because Xiao Tangwen seemed to be quite old-fashioned, standing with the white and fat Xiao Yu, it seemed like two brothers were more than father and son.
"Haha, how could that be? Yanyan is still a child, far from being a superstar." Although Yuan Zhifeng is a big shot in the generation, he also has the mentality of an ordinary person. Although he thinks it is a bit exaggerated to others to praise his granddaughter, it still sounds very pleasant to hear.
Yang Rui was attracted by their words and felt that this might be Xiao Tangwen's father's person (he judged by his name, not his appearance), and he could speak more than Xiao Tangwen.
"Where is Grandpa Yuan, Sister Yan and Ziyue? I have prepared gifts for them." Xiao Tangwen excitedly offered treasure and glanced at Yang Rui with a little disdainful look.
Yang Rui was secretly funny and ignored him.
"Oh, they are putting on makeup and changing clothes, girls. Haha, it's just delaying time." Yuan Zhifeng said with a smile.
"Huh? Isn't this Yang Rui? You are here to stay, why haven't you returned to school yet? Today is not a concert, but Sister Yan's celebration party." Xiao Tangwen deliberately talked to Yang Rui, and the meaning of his words was obvious: at most you are only worthy of watching the concert. Nowadays, such a celebration party is not something that your identity can participate in.
Yang Rui hated him in his heart, and naturally did not care about him at all on the surface. Instead, he was humbly taught and said: "What the senior said is that I was going back. However, the old man is enthusiastic and must let me stay, so it is better to obey your orders than respect."
He tilted the problem on Yuan Zhifeng's head. Xiao Tangwen had not reacted yet and continued to ridicule him: "Grandpa Yuan is polite to you, why don't you know how to advance or retreat?"
Xiao Yu is much smarter than his son. Seeing that Yang Rui could be with Yuan Zhifeng, even if he was not a confidant, he was still a favored person. In such a public place, wouldn’t it make the old man look ugly? Moreover, Yang Rui had already said that Yuan Zhifeng was keeping him, and his precious son was still talking. He was a little embarrassed.
"Tangwen, go inside and see if Sister Yan and the others have come down. Give the gifts to them." Xiao Yu was unable to teach his son a lesson in front of Yuan Zhifeng, so he could only find an excuse to send him away.
Seeing that his son was not good enough to look at Yang Rui, Xiao Yu couldn't help but sigh, saying that he would be like his father, so why am I so smart and so reckless in giving birth to a son? Is it because I have not been tempered and spoiled since I was a child?
But looking at his son's appearance and thinking about his age, Xiao Yu knew it was too late, so he could only sigh in his heart.
"Yang Rui, please come in with Tangwen and have a look. You young people have more topics together."
Yuan Zhifeng spoke, and he turned around and smiled at Yang Rui.
When Yang Rui saw his eyes, he understood it and knew that he was trying to endure it a little.
"Okay!" Yang Rui nodded, and then enthusiastically pulled Xiao Tangwen into it.
Xiao Yu knew that Xiao Tangwen liked Chen Ziyue, so of course he also hoped to get to this marriage. But his son's weight was naturally better than anyone else. Now seeing Yuan Zhifeng as Yang Rui who had known him for a short time, he seemed to be closer to Xiao Tangwen, who often came to the Yuan family, which made him sigh even more secretly.
Looking at the backs of Yang Rui and Xiao Tangwen, the two guests who had just come in muttered a few "strange" in surprise at the same time.
"Senior, I don't know what good gift you gave me? It must be something very valuable, right?" Yang Rui asked enthusiastically when he pulled Xiao Tangwen in.
Xiao Tangwen didn't care about Yang Rui's debt last time, but he didn't care about tens of thousands of yuan. Although 50,000 yuan was not enough for his pocket money, it was not yet enough to make him hate him. He was mainly jealous of Yang Rui's chance to have close contact with Chen Ziyue, which was both jealous and hated. So he wanted to vent by making Yang Rui lose money.
Now seeing Yang Rui's enthusiastic attitude, I remembered his reluctant to pay the bill, and I couldn't help but feel a little contemptuous. I felt that Yang Rui was actually a very greedy person who could ignore his reputation and dignity for money.
Xiao Tangwen's confidence value quickly soared, and he showed Yang Rui: "You don't understand this. Gifts are not worthy, but precious! For example, the gift I chose this time will scare you. Of course, the price is scary, and the value is even more than you can imagine."
"What the hell is it? Can you please open your eyes first?" Yang Rui asked with a smile.
Xiao Tangwen looked at him cautiously. He grabbed the bag he was carrying a little, and then said in a disdainful tone: "What I want to give to Sister Yan and Ziyue today are rubies and sapphires. People like you can't see the clues. Forget it, who knows if you will lose my intention!"
Yang Rui sighed in his heart, how could I lose yours? At most, I accidentally crushed it!
However, he still said with a smile on the surface: "I'm afraid Sister Yan and Ziyue won't accept your gifts! Think about it, what family background are they? They are not worse than yours, right? The precious gift you said is scared to death, and the price is only tens of thousands of yuan, or at most hundreds of thousands, right?"
"How do you know?" Xiao Tangwen was stunned for a moment.
Yang Rui cursed an idiot inwardly, even if you are sapphires and rubies are more precious, as long as you don’t cherish antiques and unique treasures, the price will be limited.
"Think about it, this is a sky-high price for ordinary people and a high price for ordinary celebrities. However, it should not be very attractive to the Yuan and Chen families, right? If you give such a gift, they will only feel vulgar. Look at me, what gifts are not given? They don't welcome me the same way?"
This made Xiao Tangwen hesitate. He originally thought that women all love jewelry. The two jewelry my father spent a lot of money to him today would definitely make them happy and might impress Ziyue. But now Yang Rui's analysis made him feel that it made sense.
"Hmph, it's all my intentions whether it's attractive or not." Xiao Tangwen was smart and did not accept Yang Rui's bewitchment.
Yang Rui smiled and said, "If you don't believe me, I can ask Ziyue in front of you, and she must have asked for such a gem."
"Impossible! No girl would hate gems. Even if Ziyue's family is very rich, she has always dressed very simple and does not have such expensive jewelry. I don't believe she won't like it!" Xiao Tangwen insisted on his opinion.
"You watch!"
The two of them went upstairs and came to Yuan Yan's room outside. They saw the door open. Chen Ziqi was playing at the door. Yang Rui smiled and said, "Xiaoqi, go and ask your sisters, can I go in?"
Chen Ziqi had no good feelings for Xiao Tangwen, so she ran in for Yang Rui's sake.
Chen Ziyue quickly came to the door, restrained her smile inside, and asked with her usual coldness: "You two are sneaky, what's wrong?"
"Uh...I..." Xiao Tangwen didn't know how to speak. He was going to give Yuan Yan first and Chen Ziyue by the way. He didn't see Yuan Yan now, so he spoke to Chen Ziyue if he was not good at it.
Yang Rui didn't have so many concerns and said with a smile: "Ziyue. That's right. I saw a sapphire and a ruby. I wanted to buy it for you. I think the ruby is very consistent with Sister Yan's passionate personality, while the sapphire is in line with your cold and arrogant. I don't know if you like it or not..."
"I don't like it! She doesn't want to play with any ragged thing for Xiaoqi!"
Chen Ziyue was very surprised when she heard Yang Rui say she wanted to buy gems for them. She didn't know why he did this or where he had money. When she heard her "cold and arrogant" later, she immediately thought that he was playing tricks on her.
Yang Rui glanced at Xiao Tangwen, and seemed to say it again, did he hear it? He didn't like this thing at all.
Xiao Tangwen heard Chen Ziyue say that she was disgusted with playing with Xiaoqi. He couldn't help but suffer a great blow. Seeing that she was about to close the door, he had to say: "Ziyue, that's it. My father and I bought a ruby and a sapphire. Ruby was given as a gift to Sister Yan to celebrate the success of the concert, and sapphire is given to you..."
Because Yang Rui's words were in front of him, Chen Ziyue had already equated the sapphire with her Lengbingbing. After listening to Xiao Tangwen's words, she said coldly, "I don't know if my cousin accepts you. I don't want any sapphires in your land! What's so rare!"
Looking at Xiao Tangwen, who was still tilted to the sky a few minutes ago, he felt as wilted as a frost-beating eggplant. Yang Rui knew that a large part of Chen Ziyue's rejection was because of his words, so he was of course smiling secretly.
However, he also knew that if he showed a happy look, Chen Ziyue would probably sing a opposite tune with him to accept it. So, he deliberately patted Xiao Tangwen's shoulder helplessly: "Oh, I thought Ziyue's personality would like sapphire. Don't be afraid, maybe Sister Yan would happily accept it both."
When Xiao Tangwen saw that he was indeed impressed, he wanted to cry without tears, because giving Yuan Yan was an opportunity, and Chen Ziyue was his goal! "Yang Rui, thank you for your comfort."
"It's okay, it should be." Yang Rui patted him hard again, looking like 'Brother, I strongly support you'.
Chen Ziyue was stunned. Didn’t they have any conflicts? When did they become so good? Yang Rui actually helped Xiao Tangwen test my preferences. Xiao Tangwen seemed very grateful to him... I was so confused!
"Take it and take a look!" Yuan Yan spoke inside.
Chen Ziyue stretched out her hand. Although Xiao Tangwen was reluctant to leave, she had to hand it over, secretly hoping that Yuan Yan would not want to see it, and that Chen Ziyue would like it after seeing the real thing.
"Well, it's not bad, I also like it. Tangwen, thank you and Uncle Xiao." After a while, Yuan Yan's thanks came from inside.
