Chapter 673 The High-and-mighty, Two-Faced Academic Genius (Gong) VS The Unrestrained, Charming, and
On Monday, Lu Ziqi's birthday party was scheduled for the top floor of the Waijiang Building.
At 6 p.m., luxury cars began to pass through Waijiang Street one after another, and without exception, they all stopped outside the building.
In a bustling city like Haicheng, luxury cars are not uncommon, but what is rare is that these cars appeared in front of everyone on the same day, like a car show, one after another, with a huge entourage, and all the people getting out of the cars looked to be young people in their early twenties.
Therefore, people waiting for the night view on Waijiang stopped to watch and marvel.
The young men got out of the car, took their gifts, and headed straight to the top floor of the building.
Seeing that the car owners had all gone into the building, the crowd became even more agitated.
Those who had just come out of the Waijiang Building looked at the group of spirited young people and the cars parked outside the door, and couldn't help but think of the fact that the Waijiang Building was closed to guests tonight.
I heard that a rich person has booked this place for a birthday party, so there will be no guests tonight.
Some of the onlookers on the street also came out of the Waijiang Building.
They originally wanted to view the night view of the river and the light show of Haicheng's landmarks from the top floor, but the person in charge politely declined.
Seeing this scene now, how could anyone not understand?
"No wonder we couldn't go into the Waijiang Building today. It looks like this group of young people were having a gathering there."
"An entire building has been booked; that's a huge undertaking."
"Anyway, when I went in early to ask, I only saw the waiters moving things around to set things up, and I also saw a very spectacular birthday cake that looked super expensive."
"As expected, rich people celebrate their birthdays differently."
"Just looking at these cars and their license plates, the scale of this operation is enormous."
……
At six o'clock, Jiang Xiyu had just changed her clothes and went out.
On her way to Lu Ziqi's birthday party, Jiang Xiyu first went to a shopping mall in the city center.
He hadn't decided on a birthday gift for Lu Ziqi yet, mainly because Lu Ziqi had everything, and Jiang Xiyu couldn't think of anything to buy for him.
The key point is that he sent a message to Lu Ziqi a day in advance to ask what he wanted.
Lu Ziqi simply said that he liked anything he gave him.
Jiang Xiyu had no choice but to come here to see if she could find a suitable birthday gift for Lu Ziqi.
After struggling to choose, Jiang Xiyu simply picked the most expensive one.
After all, giving a gift doesn't guarantee that it will suit the recipient's taste 100%. And for those wealthy young men, they've seen all sorts of nice things, so sometimes the high value of a gift is itself a token of their goodwill.
After the salesperson swiped the card, she carefully wrapped the gift while wearing gloves, trimmed the overly long ribbon from the bow, put it in a bag, and handed it to Jiang Xiyu with a smile.
Jiang Xiyu took the items with one hand and walked out while replying to messages.
Bai Chengci sent him a message asking: "Are you going to Lu Ziqi's birthday party today?"
It just so happened that Lu Ziqi went to his house to invite him that day, and Bai Chengci hid in his bedroom.
Jiang Xiyu replied with just one word: 【Mm.】
[Bai Chengci: What time will you arrive?]
Jiang Xiyu glanced at the time again.
7 o'clock.
Bai Chengci received the letter with the specific date and replied with a "good".
The group was buzzing with excitement because of Lu Ziqi's birthday, and Lu Ziqi himself sent a message in the group inviting everyone.
Although Bai Chengci managed to get into the group, he was no longer on the invitation list because of his strained relationship with Lu Ziqi. The other person who was no longer on the invitation list was Xu Yunzhi.
However, when Xu Yunzhi learned that Jiang Xiyu would be going, she took the initiative to express her desire to participate to Lu Ziqi's mother.
On Lu Ziqi's birthday, Lu's mother wouldn't spoil the fun for these young people, but she would still go and see him in person.
Lu's mother had always hoped that her son could do well in his studies, and especially hoped that he could associate more with good students like Bai Chengci and Xu Yunzhi. As soon as she heard that Xu Yunzhi was going to attend Lu Ziqi's birthday party, Lu's mother happily agreed and invited him to go with her.
As Lu's mother's favorite and most admired child, Bai Chengci naturally accepted Lu's mother's invitation without any surprise.
After glancing at the time, Bai Chengci got up and prepared to go out.
Downstairs, Cen Yi knew he was going to Lu Ziqi's birthday party and had already asked someone to prepare a birthday gift. After carefully checking that everything was in order, she asked the driver to put the gift in the car.
Seeing Bai Chengci come downstairs, Cen Yi was taken aback by his formal attire before smiling gently and saying, "It seems you really value Ziqi's birthday."
Bai Chengci rarely dresses this formally because there aren't many occasions that require him to dress like this.
Cen Yi rarely saw her son wearing a suit. When she first saw him dressed like that, she assumed he valued his friend's birthday.
In the eyes of their elders, they only thought that since the children were studying in the same school, they must have a good relationship in private.
But Cen Yi didn't know that what his son valued was simply every meeting with the person he liked.
"Mom has prepared a gift for you. Have fun tonight." Cen Yi stepped forward, reached out to straighten Bai Chengci's collar, and then couldn't help but praise him: "As expected of my son, he's really handsome."
Bai Chengci didn't say much about the gift, but after hearing her mother's praise, she lowered her eyes and asked softly, "Will people like me dressed like this?"
Bai Chengci had no concept of dressing up before.
His belongings were all arranged by his family, and influenced by his parents' values, he believed that dressing simply and modestly was already very polite.
However, later he met Jiang Xiyu...
Therefore, Bai Chengci subconsciously began to pay attention to the phrase "to dress up for those who appreciate you".
He hoped to attract Jiang Xiyu's attention and didn't want his gaze to be diverted to others, especially after their intimacy, Bai Chengci's desire for this became even stronger.
Seeing his serious question, Bai's mother smiled and replied earnestly, "Of course people will like you. Who wouldn't like such an outstanding son like me?"
Bai Chengci smiled slightly after hearing this.
Cen Yi rarely saw him smile.
His son was steady and reserved, rarely showing his emotions. But this smile he was giving was full of the maturity and innocence that comes with his age, with a hint of shyness, as if he wasn't going to a friend's birthday party, but to see someone he liked.
“Mom, I also hope he can like me,” Bai Chengci said.
Cen Yi knew perfectly well who the 'he' her son was referring to was.
Seeing Bai Chengci's state, it seemed she had fallen in love. So, she sighed softly to herself and gently replied, "He will like you..."

At the same time, a CD was placed on Zhou Xi's desk.
"Young Master, everything you instructed has been prepared."
Zhou Xi glanced down at the disc, his expression dark and uncertain.
The person standing in front of the table bowed his head and waited respectfully for instructions.
After waiting for a long time, Zhou Xi finally spoke up and instructed, "Package it properly."
As he spoke, a cryptic, cold smile played on his lips. "I hope they'll like the gift I gave them."
There was no other way, Jiang Xiyu, you forced me to do this.
