Although the upper-class gathering looked luxurious and grand, Su Yuexin didn't want such a birthday party. In her opinion, this was just an excuse for this group of people to gather together. They would send expensive gifts and send birthday wishes politely to her. The rest of the time, they would chat with the people around them about various topics of interest. This was their true purpose for coming here.
Who knew how much business her birthday would bring about in the dark? Su Yuexin didn't want to think about it anymore. At least, Chen Mu was still standing there. The only reason he was standing there was because of her.
The waiter pushed the six-tiered cake over. The cake was exquisitely made, and there were twenty thin birthday candles burning on it. Accompanied by the birthday song, the candles were blown out. Su Yuexin held a long knife that was longer than her forearm. Under the instigation of the crowd, she symbolically and carefully cut a piece from the cake and then put it on a small plate.
The first thing he had to give was definitely his parents. Everyone was looking forward to seeing who would be the third person to get Su Yuexin's cake.
"Try it." Su Yuexin was like a shy little girl. She placed the cake in Chen Mu's hands with a red face. This time, Chen Mu attracted everyone's attention.
Su Yuexin's parents looked at Chen Mu in surprise. There were also people whispering around them. Many men who had fantasies about Su Yuexin were speculating about Chen Mu's identity. It seemed that there was no such person in the upper class of Yanjing, and there was no information about him.
Su Yue's heart couldn't stay in front of Chen Mu for too long. After the cake was delivered to Chen Mu, she hurriedly ran back. She had to continue this form.
Xiao Wan had appeared in front of Chen Mu at some point. She gently crossed her arms and said with a smile,""Not bad. It seems that Yuexin values you very much. Do you know how many people are desperately trying to find out about you? Yuexin probably thinks of you as her future boyfriend, right?”
Chen Mu smiled and said casually," I really didn't expect you to pay attention to such gossip."”
Xiao Wan chuckled." Women are curious. It's a pity that my best friend from the music academy has always regarded you as her idol. I didn't expect you to be taken so quickly."”
Chen Mu was a little helpless. He scratched his head and smiled awkwardly." Stop joking around. There's really nothing between Yuexin and me…"
Xiao Wan pursed her lips and smiled." Since the trend is already there, the truth won't be far away."”
"Holy sh * t…"
…
The birthday party only had one group event, which was cutting the cake. After that, all the guests went about their own business. They were either discussing business with their friends or meeting new entrepreneurs, trying to find a point of cooperation for future cooperation.
Su Yuexin stayed by Chen Mu's side, looking for all possible topics to talk about. She tried her best to understand some of Chen Mu's personal information, and at the same time, she also prevented the conversation between the two of them from suddenly turning cold. This was something that should be considered by men, but Su Yuexin was very thoughtful.
At this moment, a middle-aged woman who was dressed elegantly walked over with a young man who was wearing a light blue shirt and black trousers. The young man looked to be around 22 or 23 years old and had a cool and handsome appearance. The fitting formal suit accentuated his gentlemanly demeanor and temperament. He was holding a silver-white gift box in his hand. The gift box was not big, but one could guess that the things inside would not be cheap.
"Yuexin, come over here. I'll introduce a friend to you.”The middle-aged woman called Su Yuexin to her side and said with a smile,"This is the Xiaolong, Fu Chenglong, whom Mom told you about. He has long wanted to meet you.”
Su Yuexin's mother had just finished introducing her when the young man named Fu Chenglong handed the gift to Su Yuexin with both hands. He smiled faintly and said,""Yuexin, I've heard about you many times. I was going to come over earlier today, but something delayed me. I'm really sorry. This is my birthday present for you. Happy birthday.”
Su Yuexin thanked her politely and handed the gift to a waiter next to her. Su Yuexin's mother then said,""Xiaolong just came back from Japan, so he's not familiar with the situation in China. Mom invited him to stay at our house for two days. Tomorrow is the weekend, so take Xiaolong around Yanjing.”
Su Yuexin couldn't help but frown. From her point of view, her mother was obviously a little too enthusiastic about this Xiaolong. Thinking back to how her mother had been talking about how good he was by her side, Su Yuexin naturally understood what her mother was thinking. She probably wanted to introduce this boy to her to date, right?
Su Yuexin instinctively rejected him. It wasn't because she hated the man in front of her, but because her heart had long been occupied by Chen Mu. Therefore, her attitude toward Cheng Long was a little too dull, causing his enthusiasm to gradually decrease.
The three to five people gathered together and chatted casually. It seemed that they could not find any common topics. Su Yuexin's mother kept trying to find a topic to arouse the enthusiasm between Su Yuexin and Fu Chenglong. Fu Chenglong was very cooperative every time. Only Su Yuexin always ignored them and found some topics to whisper to Chen Mu in private.
Su Yuexin's parents understood Su Yuexin the best, so they could see a hint of danger from Su Yuexin's behavior. Their daughter, who had been obedient for twenty years, had started to like a boy on her twentieth birthday.
Su Yuexin's father wasn't too nervous about this, but there was always a sour taste in his heart. It was said that his father was his daughter's lover in her previous life. With the care of these two lives, Su Yuexin was naturally the softest piece of meat in his heart. Now, his daughter, who had always been by his side and never grew up, suddenly stopped relying on him one day. Although he had long been mentally prepared for this, when things really started to sprout, he still felt a little jealous.
Su Yuexin's mother, on the other hand, was more concerned about Chen Mu's identity. Although this boy was handsome and pleasing to the eye, he was not well-dressed enough. He was the only man among the guests that night who did not wear formal attire. He looked like an ordinary student and did not have any deep background. This made her extremely disappointed. She looked at Fu Chenglong beside her and her little good impression of Chen Mu disappeared.
"Yuexin, where's Hai Chao? Why haven't I seen him for a long time?" Su Yuexin's mother couldn't help but ask.
"He left. I'm not too sure either.”Su Yuexin said casually. She didn't seem to care about Zhang Haichao at all.
"Oh..." Su Yuexin's mother nodded slightly. Zhang Haichao's mother was a good friend of hers, but Zhang Haichao's family was obviously not as well-off as the Su family, so she had always looked down on Zhang Haichao. If her daughter had anything to do with him, she would not be happy either. In her opinion, the best place for Su Yuexin to settle down was this Fu Chenglong, a handsome man of Chinese and Japanese descent. His father was a big entrepreneur in China, and his Japanese mother was the apple of a top family in Japan. Fu Chenglong's parents alone had assets of more than ten billion yuan. This was a true noble family.
"By the way, Yuexin, you haven't introduced your classmate yet.”Su Yuexin's mother suddenly looked at Chen Mu and said.
"This is Chen Mu, the violin genius I told you about before." Su Yuexin said shyly.”
Su Yuexin's mother pretended to be surprised and sighed. She then smiled and said,""So you're a musician. It's just that domestic musicians don't seem to have much of a future, right? Even for a world-class pianist like Lang Lang, his annual income was estimated to be less than ten million.”
Su Yuexin was a little unhappy. She frowned and said,"How can this be measured by money? Even though he was poor, his music was his greatest legacy.”
Su Yuexin's mother smiled faintly and said to her husband," Su Ping, our daughter will never grow up. A musician…hehe, how interesting…" Then she said to Chen Mu with a fake smile,""Chen Mu, right? What do your parents do?"
"Ordinary workers." Chen Mu shrugged his shoulders and smiled calmly.
"A worker?" Su Yuexin's mother's eyes widened. She covered her mouth and laughed."I didn't expect…Chen Mu, did you know? "Today, I met you, the son of a worker. This is the closest I've ever been to a worker in my life…" Then, she asked again,"What's wrong?""By the way, Chen Mu, you're studying in Yanjing now. Have your parents thought about your future? Did they scrimp and save to buy you a house in Yanjing so that you could have a place to stay when you enter society?”
Chen Mu didn't take her sarcasm to heart at all. He just smiled casually and said,""I don't need a house now. If I do, I'll think of a way to solve it myself.”
"Settle it yourself?" Su Yuexin's mother laughed scornfully as if she had heard a joke.""A student who graduates from Yan University can start with an annual salary of 150,000 yuan at most. Even if you can increase it by 50,000 yuan every year, it will take at least ten years to buy a house in Yan Capital. Moreover, you can only survive in the middle and lower classes of society for the rest of your life. So, I advise you to be realistic. After you graduate, work hard in Yan Capital for a few years and earn a few hundred thousand yuan as a starting capital. Then, you can go home and do some small businesses. You will never be able to squeeze in in your lifetime.”
At this point, the provocation and disdain in the other party's words were already very obvious. Su Yuexin's expression had long begun to turn cold. Even Xiao Wan, who was beside her, looked a little indignant for Chen Mu. Su Yuexin's father frowned as if he was thinking about something. As for Fu Chenglong, he exchanged glances with Su Yuexin's mother. There was a hint of pride in their eyes.
"Mom, you're too much!" Su Yue's heart was filled with tears as she spoke word by word. As soon as she finished speaking, she said to Chen Mu, Chen Mu, let's go." After saying that, she pulled Chen Mu and ran out. However, Chen Mu was not affected by Su Yuexin's mother at all. As he was pulled by Su Yuexin, he did not forget to turn around and giggle at Su Yuexin's mother."Auntie, you're right. Thank you for your teachings. Listening to you is better than studying for ten years…"
Su Yuexin's mother's expression quickly darkened as she watched Chen Mu's seemingly innocent and bright smile gradually fade away. She knew that everything she had done before was in vain. This kid's mental fortitude was actually so good. Not only did she fail to provoke him, but she also angered her daughter. It seemed that she had made a fool of herself this time…
She had no idea what money meant to Chen Mu. There was too much money in the world waiting for Chen Mu to earn, but he was not in the mood for it yet. Once he was ready to make a fortune in this world, it was still unknown how much money Chen Mu could earn.
Su Ping, Su Yuexin's father, sighed helplessly. He looked at his wife in disappointment and asked,"Manyuan, since you have such thoughts, why did you take a fancy to me, the son of a farmer?”
Su Yuexin's mother was a little dumbfounded. She didn't expect to anger her husband and hurriedly explained,""Su Ping, that's not what I meant. I just want Chen Mu to know his place and not get too close to Yuexin. Please don't misunderstand."
Su Ping smiled bitterly. He took a sip of wine and sighed."Humans really change quickly…"
