Three or Two Things about Rebirth

Qiu Luming met Lin Jiewei's eldest son, Lin Duan.

Of course, I just watched from a distance, separated by a crowd of people.

He was an elegant middle-aged man, who looked 50% similar to his half-brother, Zhang Weijing's father. Both of them inherited their mother's looks and combined the advantages of their respective fathers.

At this moment, Qiu Luming understood what Zhang Weijing said about her having the temperament of a woman in the Republic of China. Lin Duan embodies the true gentlemanly demeanor. Among a group of high-ranking officials and celebrities, his every move and gesture is stunning, and even without saying anything, he is like a bright moon, standing out among a flock of chickens.

When he walked towards Lin Jiewei with his wife and children, Qiu Luming saw Lin Jiewei's face full of pride and relief, which made people feel that he didn't need to give any gifts at all. Just walking and smiling in front of his mother would be the best gift.

Lin Duan smiled and said a few words of blessing, hugged his mother gently, and his voice was warm and peaceful. Then he motioned to his daughter to give the gift. Lin Jiewei showed appropriate surprise and also hugged his granddaughter.

Qiu Luming could tell at a glance that Lin Jiewei liked her eldest son the most, just as she could feel that her mother liked her eldest brother the most.

Love cannot be hidden.

Zhang Weijing's father was obviously a man who had been in a high position for a long time. He and his wife sat next to Lin Jiewei, while the reception of guests was entirely the responsibility of their subordinates and juniors.

Zhang's father was respectful to his eldest brother, but not warm. When he spoke to his family, his expression, eyes and voice still showed authority and oppression.

Those who came to congratulate all came to the sofa where Lin Jiewei was sitting to wish him well and give him gifts. Qiu Luming didn't know the specific position of Zhang's father, but he could see that this was a circle centered around Zhang's father. Except for two or three people, Zhang's father stood up and shook hands with them with a smile, and the rest of the people could not let him owe him a rude bow.

Qiu Luming sat in the corner, holding a cup of hot lemon, watching and listening. These people were either talking about Beijing secrets, or policies, approval documents, and the stock market, which really broadened her horizons.

Seeing that no one was around her father, Zhang Weijing immediately ran to Qiu Luming and wanted to introduce her and Fang Yuan to her parents. Qiu Luming said timidly, "I'm afraid of meeting the leaders. Oh no, I have to go to the bathroom!"

Zhang Weijing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, watching Qiu Luming run away. When she came back, many people had gathered in front of Zhang's father.

"Oh, oh, what are you afraid of? I've told them that your father is a very good doctor. They want to meet you, too!"

"Haha, my dad is not a famous doctor. He is only famous in the surrounding villages. How can he be compared with the famous doctors in Beijing? How can he be compared with the traditional Chinese doctors who treat leaders? Those are the people your parents really want to see!"

Zhang Weijing looked at Qiu Luming with sorrow. He knew that she was very uncomfortable in this environment, but he still wanted his parents to meet her. Such a smart and lovely girl, without a trace of materialism or falsehood, his parents would definitely like her!

But she seemed to have no interest in their family. There was still a gleam of curiosity and envy in the eyes of the second sister-in-law, but Yoyo was just like a bystander who had nothing to do with it.

At this time, Sun Ning walked over quickly, smiled and took Zhang Weijing's arm, "Weijing, hurry up, my father has something to talk to you about!" After that, he looked at Qiu Luming with a smile.

Qiu Luming also smiled and signaled Zhang Weijing to go and see his father-in-law quickly.

As soon as the two left, Qiu Luming pulled Fang Yuan to the yard. The Zhang family's banquet was a buffet. There were food and drinks in the living room and the yard. Under every light, there were people communicating enthusiastically. Even in the corner of the yard, there were a few young men and women grilling and chatting.

Qiu Luming found a bench and sat down. The cushion was surprisingly warm. When he touched it, he found there was a heater underneath.

Across the trees and flowers, she saw Zhang's mother and a woman standing under the porch and talking. Listening carefully, they seemed to be talking about some topic about minerals. Zhang's mother was contrary to her docile attitude in front of her mother-in-law. At this moment, she was full of imposingness and intimidating. The woman opposite was submissive and submissive.

Zhang's mother is over fifty years old and has an ordinary appearance. In addition, the traces of time left on a woman's face are always deeper than those on a man's. So even though she dresses fashionably, whenever she stands next to Zhang's father, she always gives people the feeling of a child bride who is a few years older than her.

Zhang Weijing and his two brothers all look more like their mother. However, the youngest sister looks most like their father and grandmother.

The same goes for Lin Duan's family. His children's appearance and temperament are far inferior to their father's.

The banquet was less than halfway through when Lin Jiewei was helped by the nanny to go back and rest. A few minutes later, Lin Duan's family also left quietly.

Qiu Luming and Fang Yuan said something to the person in charge of security in the yard, asked him to pass the message to Sun Ning, and then left.

"Are we just leaving like this without saying hello to the host?" Fang Yuan said.

"Why say hello? Even Zhang Weijing's uncle left quietly. People who don't belong here should walk lightly when they come and go."

******

The autumn wind was the most refreshing. Qiu Luming felt like she was back in middle school. She held Fang Yuan's arm, walked slowly, and sang softly, "Night-blooming jasmine, I sing for you, night-blooming jasmine, I think about you..."

The two walked for a while before they walked out of the area, took a taxi and returned to the hotel.

Qiu Luming called his third brother immediately, and Qiu Moshi picked up the phone quickly. He didn't seem surprised at all that Qiu Luming left early, and even asked, "How does the second sister-in-law feel?"

Qiu Luming looked at Fang Yuan, who was lying in a daze on the other bed, and said vaguely, "It's okay."

"She should ask her mother to come and see us, so that she won't act so arrogant every time she goes to Jiayang. What about you?"

"It's not bad."

"What impression do Zhang Weijing's parents have of you?"

"I don't think they have any impression of me. They are surrounded by so many beautiful women that they don't have time to remember me."

"Do you like their house?"

"Not interested in."

"That's good." Qiu Moshi seemed to be relieved and said, "Zhang Weijing, the youngest son of a wealthy family, you know, he is affectionate, pure, artistic, innocent, and not a bad person. He has been in a rebellious period recently. He doesn't hate Sun Ning, but he hates that his parents arranged his relationship and marriage, but he can't break free.

He's been doing some unexpected things lately. The more you ignore him, the more excited he gets.

So I didn't object to him inviting you, and I encouraged him.

Don't doubt it, Third Brother will never use you as a pawn. Mom and Dad always said that they wanted you to gain more experience. How about it, did you gain more experience today? "

"Well! I've learned a lot! Today I saw all kinds of people and things I've never seen before, and even met two female stars. But these people are too fake, I don't like them."

"Wow, you sound like you can get into that circle if you like." Qiu Moshi laughed, "Even if your brother is a multimillionaire, you can't get in. You have money but no one, and no one will care about you."

"Can't Zhang Weijing help you make a connection?"

"There's no bargaining chip. Do you understand the exchange of interests? Money is actually worthless in front of power. Okay, you probably know what's going on. Just wash up and go to bed! Oh, by the way, did Zhang Weijing's sister give you any trouble? She's a very tricky person."

"No, I haven't met their family at all, except the old lady. Third brother, is it possible that Zhang Weijing's sister has a crush on you?"

"Go! What nonsense are you talking about! Hang up!"
