On the plane to the Magic City.
Qiu Mengyun touched Xia Tian, who was dozing next to her, with her arm: "Hey, is there anything special about the jade pendant that Grandpa Xia gave me?"
"No, it's just an ordinary ancient jade." Xia Tian didn't even raise his eyelids, and casually perfunctorily answered Qiu Mengyun's question.
"Tsk! I don't believe it. If there's nothing special, how could you be willing to exchange it with me for a more precious ancient jade? Moreover, you are willing to make such a harsh bet with me. This jade pendant must have some special meaning, so you are so nervous, right?" Qiu Mengyun said with a look of certainty.
"You said before that this is our family heirloom. Heirlooms, you know? They are keepsakes that have been passed down from generation to generation in our family. This itself represents the specialness of this jade pendant, and has nothing to do with its own value. So, I advise you to give me this jade pendant as soon as possible, so that I can help you buy a more precious gift. After all, this thing is really useless in your hands." Xia Tian still persuaded him with all his heart.
"Humph! I don't want it. Even if it has no special meaning, it is also a gift from Grandpa Xia to me. I won't give it to you. If you really want it, then you can ask Grandpa Xia for it. If he asks me to return this jade pendant to you, then I will definitely return this jade pendant to you without hesitation." Qiu Mengyun also refuted relentlessly.
"Forget it, I'm too lazy to tell you so much. Well, I'm sleepy and need to rest for a while. Don't disturb me if you have nothing to do." Seeing that he couldn't make sense, Xia Tian was too lazy to waste his words and turned his head to continue to take a nap.
"Hmph! If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. Sooner or later, I will know the secret of this jade pendant." Seeing that Xia Tian was unwilling to pay attention to her, Qiu Mengyun turned her head away in anger and ignored him.
Outside the Magic City Airport, in Qiu Mengyun's nanny car.
"Mengyun, didn't you say you might stay there for a few days? Why are you back so soon?" Li Lu, who came to pick you up at the airport, asked curiously.
Qiu Mengyun pouted and said, "I thought that I would have a good time in Zhengcheng after a lot of hard work. But I didn't expect that someone would be so ungrateful and start to drive me away after helping him."
Hearing the dissatisfaction in Qiu Mengyun's words, Li Lu immediately turned around and glared at Xia Tian who was sitting in the back row and said, "Hey! You are too much! You said you needed help and needed someone to help you deal with your grandfather, but our Mengyun rushed over from the Magic City without saying a word. She didn't even have lunch at that time and started to rush to the airport. She was afraid that she would be late and delay your business, but you didn't thank our Mengyun properly, and you actually burned the bridge after crossing the river."
Facing Li Lu's accusation, Xia Tian was full of grievances. It was obviously the grandfather who asked them to leave. What does it have to do with him? Moreover, when Qiu Mengyun was in Zhengcheng, he had obviously tried his best to entertain her! Although he didn't spend much money in total since he picked her up, he really tried his best to arrange it. Night market snacks, spicy soup, and stewed noodles are all the specialties of Zhengcheng. There should be nothing wrong with treating her like this!
"I... I didn't." Xia Tian retorted with a lack of confidence.
"You still say no, Mengyun finally took the time to visit you, did you take her out for a walk and play? Have you taken her to the more famous Shaolin Temple, Qingming Shanghe Park, Song Dynasty Wuxia City, etc. near Zhengcheng?" Li Lu did not give Xia Tian face and questioned mercilessly.
"Uh! The time is too short, and I haven't had time to go yet. I'm not afraid of delaying her schedule. After all, aren't you celebrities very busy!" Xia Tian said embarrassedly.
"I think you did it on purpose. You must be afraid of spending money, so you don't want to take Mengyun out to play. You said before that you like Mengyun and that you are her fan. Don't you know that her biggest event this year is the concert tour? Now that the concert has just ended, how can we arrange other work for her so quickly?" Li Lu kept complaining about Xia Tian, while he lowered his head and listened silently with shame on his face.
Seeing Xia Tian's good-looking appearance, Qiu Mengyun gave Li Lu a thumbs up with admiration.
After complaining for a while, Li Lu found that Xia Tian just nodded in response, and he was too lazy to pay attention to him. Turning to Qiu Mengyun beside him, he asked: "Mengyun, our company is having a dinner at Genting Hotel tonight. Now that you are back,
Do you want to go with us now that you are here?"
Qiu Mengyun did not answer Li Lu's question immediately, but turned to look at Xia Tian in the back row: "Xia Tian, do you have anything to do later? Do you want to go to Genting Hotel with us for dinner?"
Xia Tian hesitated for a moment and declined: "Forget it. It's not good for me, an outsider, to go to your company dinner."
Qiu Mengyun persuaded: "It's nothing, just sit together and chat and eat. There will be many celebrities at that time, maybe there will be your favorite celebrities or idols. Even if there is no one you like, there must be your classmates and brothers who like them. Don't you want a few autographs and take a few photos to show off to them after you go back?"
Hearing her say this, Xia Tian was really moved. He himself is not a star chaser, but he just remembered his good brother Chen Shaojie in this life, and the sweet actor he has always liked seems to be an artist of Qiu Mengyun's company.
He asked with a little expectation: "Will Bai Xinran also attend the party tonight? "
Hearing that Xia Tian was actually asking about the whereabouts of another beautiful girl in front of her, Qiu Mengyun felt a nameless anger rising in her heart.
She said coldly: "I don't know, I'm not familiar with her."
"I'm digging in the small garden!" A cheerful mobile phone ring rang, and Qiu Mengyun and Li Lu turned their heads to look at Xia Tian in the back row in surprise.
Xia Tian took out his mobile phone with an embarrassed look: "Um, sorry, I'll answer the phone."
"Brother Tian, how is your old man, are you back?" As soon as the call was connected, Chen Shaojie's familiar voice came from the receiver.
Xia Tian smiled and said: "Well, I just arrived in the Magic City, my grandfather's operation went smoothly, nothing serious."
"Haha! I'm glad you're fine. Since you're back, don't be absent tonight!" Hearing that Xia Tian's grandfather's operation went smoothly, Chen Shaojie, as his good brother, also spoke with a little more joy.
"What's the matter? Do we have an appointment tonight?" Xia Tian asked doubtfully.
"Damn! Brother Tian, have you forgotten what day it is today? I thought you came back today for our brotherhood." Chen Shaojie said sadly.
Xia Tian thought for a long time, but still couldn't remember what was special about this day: "Don't keep me in suspense, what's the matter, I'll hang up if you don't tell me!"
"No, have you forgotten that today is the birthday of the third child in our dormitory. We agreed that every year on this day we would get together to celebrate the third child's birthday." Seeing that Xia Tian really couldn't remember, Chen Shaojie quickly reminded him.
"Oh, I know. I'll be back in the dormitory in a while, and I will definitely not delay his birthday tonight." Xia Tian hung up the phone after saying that.
"Sorry! A buddy in my dormitory has a birthday tonight, so I can't accompany you to the company's dinner. You ask the driver to stop at the intersection ahead, and I'll find a way to get back to school by myself. "Xia Tian said to Qiu Mengyun with an apologetic look.
"Humph! You are a guy who values women over friends. When you heard that Bai Xinran might not go, you immediately didn't want to go, right?" Qiu Mengyun said coldly.
"No, it has nothing to do with Bai Xinran. I really have something to do tonight." Xia Tian defended helplessly.
"No need to explain, you go down! If Bai Xinran also goes to the banquet at that time, just don't regret it." Qiu Mengyun said angrily.
Xia Tian opened the car door and walked down. Before the car door closed, he did not forget to explain: "I am going to help my friend celebrate his birthday tonight. I really didn't mean to stand you up. Besides, whether I accompany you to the dinner or not has nothing to do with Bai Xinran, don't get me wrong."
After that, regardless of Qiu Mengyun's reaction, he scanned a shared bicycle and rode away.
"Bah! You are a dog who values women over friends. It's my bad luck to know you. "Qiu Mengyun complained to Xia Tian's receding figure.
Li Lu laughed and teased: "That's not right, Mengyun. Xia Tian went to attend his roommate's birthday party. I don't think this can be considered as putting love before friendship, right? On the contrary, if he stayed to accompany you to the dinner, that would be called putting love before friendship."
Qiu Mengyun glared at her and said unhappily: "Who are you with? Can't you see I'm angry!"
Li Lu smiled and said: "Hehe, it doesn't matter who I'm with. The point is, I think you are not angry, but jealous. "
