Chapter 168 Going Home
Lin Chen felt uncomfortable after hearing what Lin's mother said. It just felt awkward no matter how he listened to it.
It’s not that he himself has high moral standards and qualities.
As long as these young masters and young ladies can have fun in the circle, they all understand these twists and turns.
The difference is who is more conservative or who is more open-minded.
If the unspoken rules are kept in the dark, they will become a joke for everyone to talk about after dinner.
When his mother laid it out in the open like she did, even if people knew it was the truth, they would still feel unbearable shame.
It's no less serious than showing your browser history in front of your parents.
Isn't this a public execution?!
Moreover, after his mother said that, this group of young masters and young ladies seemed like merchandise for people to choose from in a shopping mall, the kind that were on sale for grand opening and discounts.
Everyone was trying to sell them out, fearing that they would not be able to sell.
Or maybe it's just that things change over time.
When these people in the circle usually go out to hang out, don't they act like big bosses, letting the handsome men and beautiful women line up and come in front of them one by one for them to choose?
The other party has to use all his tricks, show off his charm, and do everything he can to attract their attention, just to get more benefits from them.
But now, they are the ones who go on stage to show off their charm, while the young masters and young ladies from Beijing sit below to choose people.
Originally he was the master who waited for others to serve him, but now he has to condescend to serve others.
This kind of psychological gap is something that no one can bear for a while.
Mother Lin looked at her son's frustrated self-esteem and sneered in her heart.
Thinking back to when she was young, she was also very arrogant, but in the end, she was smoothed over by reality.
After going around in circles for decades, I finally look back and find that the big talk that my parents used to tell me about their unwillingness is actually the essence. If I had listened to them earlier, I could have avoided several years of detours.
Unless it is a family with a bad reputation in the circle, what parents would really push their children into the fire pit?
Just ask these people from wealthy families in Haikou, who among them didn’t live a life of luxury and wealth when they were young?
But it is impossible for people to be young masters or young ladies all their lives.
It is said that eighteen years old is a threshold.
Having enjoyed the benefits brought by the family in the past, he naturally had to sacrifice himself to repay the family for their hard work in cultivating him over the past decade.
Unless you are extremely capable, you can still bring equal benefits and advantages to your family even without taking this shortcut.
People have to speak with their real abilities wherever they go. If they are really strong enough, they will naturally have equal say.
But if you don’t have that much energy, but want to continue to enjoy the benefits brought by your family, you will naturally have to make sacrifices and contributions.
Marriage is one aspect.
Face is another aspect.
If you want to climb up, you can't be ashamed of doing lowly things.
If a person is shameless, everyone will point at his nose and laugh at him.
But if a group of people are shameless, then no one should laugh at anyone else.
In the face of interests, face means nothing.
By then, the benefits will have been enjoyed by others, and the difficult days will be yet to come.
Mother Lin took out a mirror from her bag, put on some makeup, and said to Lin Chen:
"Don't hang out with your brothers these days, or you'll let something slip and miss the opportunity."
Then, she closed the makeup mirror with a click. "People from Beijing will definitely invite all the celebrities in Haikou. Come with me to choose a few dresses. Not only will I try them on, but you should also pick a few. Try to be the most beautiful one when you appear on stage, and make everyone see you at first sight!"
……
……
The afternoon passed quickly.
The next day, Jiang Zhi had to rush back to the company and had no time to hang out with the two children in Haikou.
Originally, she had thought about compressing her work a little more and squeezing out an extra morning.
But the atmosphere yesterday afternoon was a bit stiff and awkward after all. In the presence of their elders, the children were more or less restrained and unable to relax.
Haikou is full of acquaintances, and there is a high chance that you will run into one or two business partners, or someone's wife.
If they were pulled aside to discuss business or reminisce about the past, it would dampen their interest in sightseeing.
So just like the previous few days, they only sent a driver and bodyguards to follow and watch over him, and let him do everything else as he pleased.
Bai Yuan and Qin Lingzheng stayed in Haikou for a week. When they had seen enough of the sights, they set off back to Beijing.
Qin Lingzheng also knew that Bai Yuan had already agreed that when Wen Yiche left by plane in mid-August, she would go to the airport to see him off.
I was looking forward to this day, but at the same time I was a little worried that when the day came for me to leave, Bai Yuan would be reminded of the past and leave with me.
If possible, he actually thought about taking this opportunity to stay in Haikou, wait for the test results to come out, and then directly enroll in school together to completely eliminate any hidden dangers.
But first of all, he knew Bai Yuan's character best.
Once she makes a decision, no one else has the right to interfere.
Not only is it useless to talk too much, but the other party will also respond with sarcasm.
In this case, the gain outweighs the loss.
Secondly, they flew from Beijing to Haikou to take the entrance examination, so it was a short trip.
But if I am going to settle here for the next three years, it is not good to be so hasty. I have to go back and make full preparations before coming back.
The first thing I will do when I land in Haikou is to attend a celebrity party, gather all the celebrities together, and give everyone a chance to get to know each other in advance.
This also avoids the "dog's eyes look down on people" and melodramatic face-slapping plots that are common in novels.
In this case, we have to start work more than half a month in advance.
You need to be familiar with everything in advance, including the party venue, procedures, list of invited guests, family backgrounds, and the various forces involved.
Clothes for attending parties should be ordered one month in advance.
All in all, we will be busy in the remaining month or so.
After the two got off the plane and left the airport, they got into the luxury car that their family had sent to pick them up. As the street scenes on both sides quickly receded, they finally returned to the familiar Beijing compound, and a sense of comfort and security arose in their hearts.
No matter how good the outside world is, it can never be as good as the hometown where I grew up.
Bai Yuan was exhausted from the long journey and was now feeling a little tired. He was sitting in the back seat with his eyes half closed to rest.
Suddenly, Qin Lingzheng shook her arm and pointed to the pedestrians on the roadside outside the window.
"Look at that man, is he Song Yicheng? What is he doing here with the jar in his arms?"
Bai Yuan looked up and saw a young man sitting by the side of the asphalt road, holding a white ceramic jar in his arms, crying and looking sad.
As they got closer, Qin Lingzheng saw the other person's face clearly and realized that it was indeed Song Yicheng, so he asked the driver to stop by the roadside and got out of the car.
"What's wrong? I saw you standing here from a distance - what the hell??? What's wrong with your eyes?!"
Because they were far away, Qin Lingzheng could only get a vague picture of the person. Relying on their familiarity with each other, he recognized the other person's identity from his figure.
But when I took a closer look, I found that the child's eyes were red and swollen, as if there were two walnuts stuck in his eyes. It must be because he cried, otherwise I would have thought that someone had beaten him.
Song Yicheng looked up and wiped his tears several times before he could barely recognize that the person in front of him was Qin Lingzheng.
As soon as he looked over, his eyes, which had just been wiped dry, quickly filled with tears again. Song Yicheng stood up from the ground, pouted his mouth, and rushed over sobbing, almost knocking him to the ground.
“Zhengzi—woowawawawawa—”
Qin Lingzheng was in a dilemma, and he didn't know whether to push the blame or not. He looked at Bai Yuan helplessly, seeking her help.
Song Yicheng hugged Qin Lingzheng and vented for a while, and finally got over the sadness.
Unexpectedly, when he looked up, he saw Bai Yuan who had just got out of the car not far behind him.
The young man's eyes became hot and he curled his lips. He let go of Qin Lingzheng and threw him behind him. Then he turned and rushed to Bai Yuan in tears.
“Sister Yuan—Wa ...
Bai Yuan took half a step away, raised her hand and put it on his head to prevent him from getting close to her.
Her eyes were fixed on the ceramic jar in his arms, and she asked with a hint of anticipation:
"what happened?"
Song Yicheng sniffed. The sixteen-year-old boy was like an eggplant hit by frost. He had lost his former spirit and looked much more haggard. He cried until his heart was almost broken. After a long while, he finally spoke in a wronged tone:
"Sister...dog...my dog is dead...wuuuuuu...Ermao is dead...wuuuuuu..."
