176 She just wants to irritate me. I admire her speed of changing her expression.
Just as I was about to ask something else, I heard Shifan's footsteps. He knocked on the door and said:
"Mr. Feng is here and is in the tea room downstairs. The old lady asked me to call you down."
Pin'er had no choice but to take off the ring on her hand and put it back in the box.
Li Shuirong did not stop her, but said lovingly: "I will keep it for you first, remember to bring it back when I send you back later.
Then he stood up, took her hand and went downstairs. The longing for the past few days, from seeing her, to the hug just now, and then to the heart-to-heart talk just now, was enough to dissolve it.
Later, more and more people came to visit, so Madam Li took them to the piano room on the second floor to sit and chat. It happened that Lin Pin'er had recently received a new piece of music, so she played it for Madam Li.
After the song was over, Lai An knocked on the door and entered.
"Madam, some of your friends are here. I arranged for them to wait in the tea room downstairs."
Madam Li had no choice but to go downstairs to socialize.
The piano room suddenly became quiet. Lin Pin'er was about to play with her phone out of boredom when Ye Shuyan, who was sitting on the sofa under the window, spoke:
"Can you play revolution? Play one for me. I want to listen." Her English pronunciation was very standard, but there was a hint of arrogance and impoliteness in her tone.
Lin Pin'er turned from the piano stool and looked at her: "Are you talking to me?"
"What else? Is there anyone else in this room?"
Lin Pin'er chuckled: "Grandma just told you my name. If you have forgotten, my name is Lin Pin'er."
Ye Shuyan was furious. She didn't need anyone to teach her etiquette.
"Don't you like to perform these talents to amuse the old lady? Can't you perform for me now? Or don't you know how to play?" She remembered that Jia Yuanchun seemed to be good at playing the piano, and now she got angry when she saw the girls from the Jia family.
"No, why don't you play it for me?" Lin Pin'er said seriously.
"You don't even know how to play a piece of music of this level, so why were you showing off in front of Madam Li just now?"
"My grandmother is my piano teacher, and we once formed a small orchestra. I wasn't showing off just now. I was just communicating with her."
Ye Shuyan sneered, "Do you think someone from your Jia family can marry into the Li family? Don't dream! Jia Yuanchun followed Li Hanlan for three years, but she was still rejected by him. I think Li Shuirong is just a little interested in you now. In less than three years, you will end up like Jia Yuanchun."
Lin Pin'er smiled and turned to Ye Shuyan and said, "It won't take three years. Two years, maybe I'll get tired of it first. But you, you like to objectify women so much, you seem to have low self-esteem?"
Ye Shuyan clenched his fist lightly: "Why should I feel inferior? My uncle is XXX XX (official title)."
"Really? But what does this have to do with you? This is not your achievement. I admit that Shui Rong is excellent, but I am not bad either." If it was four months ago, Lin Pin'er would have felt sorry for herself because of her words. She is different now. Shui Rong gave her this confidence.
Ye Shuyan blurted out without thinking: "The Li family is already discussing the engagement with our family. Madam Li likes me very much."
"Yeah, congratulations!" Lin Pin'er lowered her head to play with her cell phone. If she hadn't been worried about the many guests downstairs, she really wanted to go downstairs to find Shui Rong. She really didn't want to stay in the same room with this woman. Now Pin'er finally understood why Shui Rong said he would come to rescue her.
"Did you bring any gifts when you came here today? You don't know etiquette. You should bring gifts when you come to pay New Year's greetings." Ye Shuyan continued to pester.
Lin Pin'er ignored her, thinking she was childish and not at all as mature and elegant as she pretended to be.
"Hey~ I'm talking to you! Are you deaf?"
Before Lin Pin'er could say anything, there was a knock on the door. Lin Pin'er thought it was Li Shuirong who came to rescue her, and turned back in joy.
Unexpectedly, the person who pushed the door was Feng Ziying. He poked his head in and said, "I want to come in and hide for a while. Do you mind?"
"I don't mind!" Pin'er invited him in with a smile, and noticed Yuejiao also slipped in with him.
As soon as Yuejiao came in, she rubbed Pin'er's calf and acted coquettishly. Lin Pin'er picked up Yuejiao and coaxed her to play.
After a while, there was another knock on the door. Lai An brought in a teapot and teacups, placed them on the coffee table and poured tea.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the piano room was finally less hostile. Feng Ziying had eaten with Lin Pin'er several times and played tennis with her several times, so they were more familiar with each other. He picked up his teacup and walked over to ask Lin Pin'er:
"How's the renovation of your live house going?"
"Shui Rong said we can have a trial run on Valentine's Day."
"That's great. My buddy is planning to go over and sing two songs. Let him arrange it for me."
Lin Pin'er was happy: "We are recruiting bands and musicians, do you have suitable candidates?"
"Sign up Mr. Jiang. His appearance and singing voice are very popular with young girls."
"Then when we get back on the eighth day of the new year, we'll go visit him. I also think he sings well. In fact, you all sing very well."
"Where are you going?" Feng Ziying continued to ask. In fact, he rarely chatted with Lin Pin'er before. He heard some of their conversation at the door just now, and heard Ye Shuyan's rude words, so he came in to rescue the little girl. He deliberately found a topic to support her and liven up the atmosphere.
"Shui Rong said he would take me to Hong Kong for three days." Lin Pin'er was so happy teasing Yue Jiao that her eyes turned into crescent shapes.
"This guy didn't even discuss it with me. If I had known, I would have gone to Hong Kong with you guys. That's why I agreed to take my family to Sanya."
Before Lin Pin'er could answer, Li Shuirong pushed the door open and walked in: "What are you talking about? I heard Master Feng's loud voice in the corridor."
"You said you were going out to play without telling me. If I had known, I would have gone to Hong Kong with you."
After chatting for a while, Lai An came in and asked them to go downstairs to eat, so they went downstairs.
After dinner, Feng Ziying talked to Shui Rong about the performance. After the conversation, he mentioned: "Your little girl was so cool today. I actually look at her with new eyes."
"How to say?"
"I thought there were too many people downstairs, so I went upstairs to take a look. When I walked to the piano room, I heard them talking: the young lady from the Ye family didn't speak very nicely, and your little girl started to speak in a clacking manner, which left me speechless."
Shui Rong's eyes darkened and he asked, "What did she say?"
"The Ye family said that you would get tired of her in three years, and your little girl said: I would get tired of her in two years, not three years. They also said: Do you have low self-esteem because you love to objectify women? Then Miss Ye showed off what her uncle was like. Your little girl directly retorted: What does this have to do with you? It's not your achievement. Emma, she retorted so well! I wanted to applaud her."
Li Shuirong listened to so much, but only grasped one key point: "She said she got tired of me after two years? That doesn't sound like something she would say!"
Feng Ziying was busy complaining, and then he realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he quickly tried to make up for it: "Your little girl said again: Shui Rong is very good, but I am not bad either! I have to applaud her for this sentence, it is the character of our Beijing girl."
Shui Rong laughed after hearing this. She was indeed not the girl who always said: How can I be worthy of you? But she got tired of me after two years. What the hell is this? I have to ask her tonight.
"But Miss Ye is really good at pretending. She shut up after I went in. She even smiled as if nothing had happened. She even pretended to be gentle during the meal. If I hadn't heard those words, I wouldn't have known she was so mean."
……
When getting ready to go back home at night, Lin Pin'er was sitting on the shoe-changing stool at the door putting on her shoes, and Ye Shuyan wanted to come over and provoke her again.
"Oh, you know, it's not just about giving gifts, but also about eating and taking things?" Ye Shuyan saw Lin Pin'er holding a handbag, which he didn't see her carrying when she came.
In the living room, Feng Ziying said loudly to Madam Li: "No need to see us off. We come here often. Don't treat us as guests."
Lin Pin'er lowered her voice and remained calm: "The bouquet of red roses in the living room is the gift you gave me today, right?"
Ye Shuyan asked back: "What's wrong? The roses I sent were not ordinary roses, but imported ones. I specially..."
Lin Pin'er didn't wait for her to finish and lowered her voice again: "My gift was delivered before the New Year, and it's still there now! But you won't be so lucky with the one you gave. No matter what kind it is, if you come back tomorrow to see it, it may not still be there."
