Chapter 156: She has the face of a princess, but not the fate of a princess (23)
After lunch, Yang Xue left by car.
Yang Linao took Ningning back to his staff dormitory. After the two of them were intimate, Yang Linao fell asleep.
But Ningning was still very excited and couldn't sleep at all. She got up from the bed, went to the bathroom, and called her best friend.
"Angie, I'm getting married! You can be my bridesmaid!"
"Ningning, are you okay? Do you really want to marry that boyfriend from another city? Can your mother agree to let you get married without a house?"
Wu Anqi is Ningning's best friend. They went to school together since childhood and can be considered as childhood sweethearts and good friends who grew up together.
She didn't want to see her friend jump into the fire pit, so she spoke up to remind her.
Ning Ning heard her friend's reminder and quickly explained:
"Anqi, listen to me. Li Nan has a house. He just bought it this morning. It's a large flat with an area of over 300 square meters. He paid in full."
"That's not right. What's going on? Didn't you say that his family is from another place and his parents are ordinary workers?"
Wu Anqi was completely stunned. This reversal happened too quickly.
Ningning quickly told the story about her boyfriend having a wealthy sister. She was so excited that her voice began to choke.
Wu Anqi listened to her best friend's explanation. She was envious and happy that she could find a good home. However, when she heard Ning Ning sobbing on the phone, she couldn't help but said unhappily:
"Ningning, why are you crying about such a happy thing? Come out tonight and celebrate together. You're going to be a bride soon."
Ning Ning heard her friend's invitation and immediately burst into laughter. She said, "Well, it's still the same place."
"Same place."
Wu Anqi hung up the phone, feeling somewhat complicated.
It was agreed that they would live a poor life together, but the best sister quietly caught a rich husband.
Where can I go to seek justice?
Or, find a rich boyfriend yourself?
When complicated thoughts come together, they are like weeds in the field and can never be completely removed.
Judging from her appearance, although Ningning is tall, her face can only be considered petite and pretty.
Wu Anqi's appearance is even more delicate, like a little princess from a fairy tale, pink and cute.
Looking at the white and pitiful face in the mirror, Wu Anqi suddenly talked to herself and sighed:
"What a pity, she has the face of a princess but not the life of a princess!"
"Little sister, are you home?"
A woman's voice came from outside the door, causing Wu Anqi to calm down immediately and hold her breath.
It seemed that if he breathed a little louder, the woman outside would come in.
"Why is there no sound again? Am I hallucinating again?"
The woman outside the door seemed to be wondering if she had heard it wrong. Then, a series of tinkling sounds were heard. After a long while, Wu Anqi, who was hiding in the house and dared not say a word, heard the sound of the door slamming.
Wu Anqi hurried to the window and waited for a long time before she saw a tall, fashionably dressed woman leaving the residential building and walking out of the community.
This woman is Wu Anqi’s half-sister Wu Mei, who just returned from abroad.
The parents of the two sisters were migrant workers who came to Yanjing to work with their children. One was divorced and the other was widowed, and they formed a new family after that.
A few years ago, Wu Mei's father and Wu Anqi's mother were in a car accident and died, leaving nothing behind.
The insurance company paid more than 400,000 yuan in compensation. Wu Mei was already an adult at the time, so she decided to buy the current two-bedroom apartment. The remaining money was divided equally between the two sisters.
Wu Anqi saved her money and continued her studies.
But Wu Mei took the money and ran to the Lighthouse Country to pursue her dream of the Lighthouse Country.
It has been seven years since Wu Mei left.
In Wu Anqi's eyes, she was abandoned by her only relative.
Of course, this is Wu Anqi's idea.
As an elder sister, Wu Mei is still very willing to take care of this non-blood-related sister.
After all, the two sisters have lived together for more than ten years, so even if they just raise a cat or a dog, they will have feelings for each other.
What's more, Wu Anqi has been cute and tender since she was a child, and Wu Mei is a beauty lover, so she can't resist the younger sister's good looks at all.
In the past few years, Wu Mei has earned a lot of money in the Lighthouse Country, and she remitted it all back to China and deposited it in a bank card of her younger sister.
Wu Mei didn't tell her younger sister about these things, so Wu Anqi naturally didn't know about them either.
Wu Anqi waited until her sister left before she began to put on makeup and dress up, preparing to go out on a date with her best friend Ningning.
The so-called old place for the two was a cafe.
When the store opened and held an event, the two of them bought a membership card together.
In the future, you can use your membership card to make purchases and get unlimited refills of coffee.
In fact, for a girl, drinking two or three cups of coffee is considered too much, even if she sits for the whole afternoon.
When Wu Anqi arrived at the place, Ningning also hurried over.
Ningning described in vivid detail how Yang Xue helped her buy a house today.
Wu Anqi was naturally happy for her good friend and asked about marriage again.
Ningning then smiled shyly. The so-called getting married soon was just a plan that she and Yang Linao had chatted about. The parents of both parties had not met yet, so if they wanted to get married as soon as possible, it would take at least until the second half of the year.
But it doesn’t matter. Yang Li’nan already has a house anyway, and I believe my family will not continue to oppose my marriage to Yang Li’nan.
The two girls sat in the coffee shop for more than two hours and had some snacks for dinner.
It was not until after eight o'clock in the evening that I took the bus home.
Ningning's parents are considered the older generation who moved to Beijing. They have been living in Yanjing for nearly twenty years. Unfortunately, they were not able to settle down until her father passed away.
Nowadays, Ningning's mother and she rent a very simple house.
This type of house is not very good at moisture-proofing, it is humid in summer and cold in winter.
"Why did you get off work so late today?" Ningning's mother frowned when she saw her daughter coming back and said, "Have you broken up with that guy named Yang? This weekend, your aunt will introduce you to a local boy from a well-off family..."
"Mom," Ning Ning interrupted her mother when she heard her mother asking her to go on a blind date again, "Li Nan and I will not break up. Li Nan's family has already bought him a house."
"Why can't they break up? Huh? Did their family buy him a house?"
Ningning's mother was stunned for a moment. What was going on?
Ningning quickly told her mother again about Yang Xue buying a house for Yang Linan.
I won’t say much about Ningning’s mother’s reaction, anyway, it was difficult for her to fall asleep that night.
A house worth more than 8 million yuan, bought immediately, and paid in full.
How rich is that?
No, we can’t let such a good son-in-law go.
Needless to say, Ningning and Yang Li'nan's marriage progressed very quickly, and the processes including meeting the parents of both parties, engagement, and giving of betrothal gifts were completed quickly.
The house was purchased in July, and the two families had already started discussing the wedding date in early August.
Finally, the two families reached an agreement and the wedding was scheduled for National Day.
In fact, if the new house was not still being renovated, Ningning's mother would have wanted her daughter to marry into the Yang family immediately.
"National Day is a good day. Have you booked a hotel?"
When Su Mingzhe returned home and heard Yang Xue telling him about Yang Li'nan's marriage arrangements, he also wanted to help. After all, he was his brother-in-law, and it would be a bit unreasonable for him not to contribute.
"I have looked at several, but I haven't decided yet."
Yang Xue didn't quite understand these things, so she asked the housekeeper. The housekeeper took out some information and asked the two elders to choose.
There is no need to worry about the price, as Yang Xue, the older sister, has taken care of everything.
Su Mingzhe smiled and said:
"I recommend a place, the Dragon and Phoenix Restaurant. Locals like to hold wedding banquets there."
The main attraction of this Dragon and Phoenix Restaurant is its good name, which implies auspiciousness.
Yang Xue didn't quite understand, so she was a little confused and asked, "Since this Dragon and Phoenix Restaurant is so good, can we still book a banquet for the National Day?"
There were so many people getting married on National Day that many good restaurants were booked early.
"It's okay. You can talk to the elders on both sides. If they all agree, I'll call and make the arrangements."
Su Mingzhe helped to find a place for the wedding banquet, then he took his girlfriend's hand and started talking about his own affairs:
"Wife, Huawei has already produced a new generation of mobile phones and computers with Chinese operating systems. Let me go over and take a look. Let's go together."
"I won't go. Just let your two beautiful female secretaries accompany you."
Yang Xue went on a business trip with Su Mingzhe in May and felt that she was just a vase and a tool.
During Su Mingzhe's acceptance and inspection, Yang Xue didn't have any chance to speak.
Even though he knew nothing, he pretended to be very interested.
Yang Xue had only experienced this terrible feeling once and she absolutely did not want to experience it again.
Besides, my boyfriend is on a business trip for a few days, so I can have a few days off.
"OK then."
Su Mingzhe had known for a long time that Yang Xue didn't like to travel with him on business trips, but he still had to ask.
After all, Yang Xue is his official girlfriend.
Three days later, Su Mingzhe arrived in Pengcheng.
This time, accompanied by some Huawei leaders and R&D managers, I experimented with the operational practicality of new mobile phones and computers.
Mr. Ren was not in Pengcheng. When he learned that Su Mingzhe had arrived, he called Su Mingzhe and expressed his special gratitude for the Chinese operating system developed by Su Mingzhe.
Su Mingzhe did not stay in Huawei for long. He took a few new mobile phones and computers, which were small gifts from Huawei, and left.
Afterwards, Su Mingzhe went to Hong Kong again.
Last year, when Su Mingzhe left, he made an appointment with Xiahou Wu to have another competition this year.
The place for the competition was the training base of the Flying Tigers.
Xiahou Wu was very welcoming to Su Mingzhe's arrival.
Last year, when Su Mingzhe was learning the Heyi martial arts, he gave Xiahou Wu one thousand yuan, and agreed that if he could master the Heyi martial arts within three years, he would pay him another ten million yuan.
I'm here to keep the appointment today.
Su Mingzhe and Xiahou Wu were already prepared and went straight to the boxing ring.
"Mr. Lin, please!"
"Brother Xiahou, please!"
Su Mingzhe threw the first punch, but knowing that his punch was powerful, he held back his strength.
Xiahou Wu raised his elbow and felt that the punch was not very powerful, so he understood what Su Mingzhe meant. He was slightly moved and began to fight with Su Mingzhe slowly.
The main reason for this competition was that Su Mingzhe wanted to show off the Heyi Kung Fu that he had learned in the past year.
Xiahou Wu was naturally extremely proficient in his own martial arts, and could easily deal with every attack of Su Mingzhe.
In a blink of an eye, the two men had exchanged more than a hundred moves.
Su Mingzhe suddenly changed his fist into a stick and swung his arms like Tongbeiquan, but if you look closely, it is somewhat different from Tongbeiquan.
Xiahou Wu was caught off guard, but he quickly realized that this set of moves was clearly the stick technique of the Heyi Sect, except that Su Mingzhe used his arm to transform into a long stick and performed basic stick techniques such as pounce, poke, pick, and smash on himself.
From this we can see that Su Mingzhe's basic attainments in martial arts are already extraordinary, and he has long since stopped being obsessed with external things.
Faced with Su Mingzhe's flexible and varied moves, Xiahou Wu was able to cope with it by relying on his sufficient understanding of Heyi Kung Fu.
It's just that the good times don't last long.
After Su Mingzhe performed stick techniques, he actually changed to a new move.
The Baguazhang, Hung Gar, Tai Chi, Bajiquan and other martial arts that he had practiced before were mixed together, using the mental method of the Heyi School, just like the turtle fist performed by a street gangster, sometimes high, sometimes low, sometimes strong, sometimes weak.
At this point, Xiahou Wu could see that Su Mingzhe was clearly using the excuse of sparring with him to refine his own martial arts.
