Chapter 675 The High-and-mighty, Two-Faced Academic Genius (Gong) VS The Unrestrained, Charming, and
From other people's perspectives, there was nothing wrong with Bai Chengci giving the gift to Lu Ziqi. However, Lu Ziqi knew that the force Bai Chengci used was clearly an attempt to push him away from Jiang Xiyu.
Unfortunately, Lu Ziqi had a short temper. When Bai Chengci pushed him and saw him blocking his way from Jiang Xiyu, he immediately wanted to rush up and push Bai Chengci away as well.
Lu's mother noticed and promptly called out, "Ziqi."
The tone of the voice calling out the name was rather harsh, clearly a warning.
Lu's mother didn't really understand the relationship between her son and Bai Chengci.
She thought they were just friends, but now, seeing her son's reaction, it was as if he had seen some kind of enemy.
Upon hearing this, Lu Ziqi immediately stopped what he was doing. Because his mother was there, his expression gradually turned ugly.
Oh shit.
His relationship with Bai Chengci and Xu Yunzhi had almost deteriorated to the point where they hated each other at first glance, so why would they be so kind as to celebrate his birthday?
Now that his brother is standing here, Bai Chengci is pushing him; her intentions are very clear.
Those two bastards, Bai Chengci and Xu Yunzhi, are only after me.
The problem is that his mother still thinks they genuinely came to celebrate his birthday, and they've been used as pawns by Bai Chengci. Now she's even yelling at him.
Lu Ziqi grew angrier the more he thought about it, but he couldn't continue fighting in front of his mother, so he gritted his teeth and said to Bai Chengci, "Get out of the way!"
Bai Chengci did not move.
The reason he pushed Lu Ziqi earlier was because he saw Lu Ziqi trying to hold Jiang Xiyu's hand. He didn't want Lu Ziqi to hold Jiang Xiyu's hand, and he wasn't sure if Jiang Xiyu would let him, so he couldn't let him.
The atmosphere became tense for a moment.
Seeing that Bai Chengci was unwilling to move aside, Lu Ziqi glared at him fiercely. Just as he was about to warn Bai Chengci not to push his luck, he saw Jiang Xiyu suddenly turn around.
"Brother," Lu Ziqi called out.
Upon hearing this, Bai Chengci turned around.
Jiang Xiyu had only taken two steps when Lu Ziqi called out to him. He turned back to look at him, then glanced at Bai Chengci without leaving a trace, before finally saying, "I'm just taking a casual look around. You guys continue."
After hearing this, Lu Ziqi quickly bypassed Bai Chengci, walked to Jiang Xiyu's side, and said, "Brother, let me show you around."
Jiang Xiyu didn't want him to clash with Bai Chengci, so he nodded and agreed: "Okay."
Lu Ziqi then smiled, and his complexion improved.
He beckoned Jiang Xiyu to walk into the banquet hall, and for a moment he even forgot about his own mother.
When Bai Chengci and Xu Yunzhi saw Jiang Xiyu follow Lu Ziqi, they followed at a distance.
Lu's mother stood there alone, her brows furrowed as she watched.
She felt that her son was too concerned about the young man beside him, and she also noticed that not only her son, but also Xu Yunzhi and Bai Chengci were acting a little strange.
It's strange, but I can't quite put my finger on it.
Mrs. Lu stared at their retreating figures for a long while, watching the three of them follow the young man. She felt a strange sense of disbelief, as if the protagonist of this birthday banquet wasn't her son, but him…
Originally, Lu's mother only wanted to come and take a look and did not intend to stay long, but seeing the scene of her son and Bai Chengci not getting along, she stayed because she was a little worried.
"Brother, what do you think of my birthday party setup?" Lu Ziqi asked Jiang Xiyu, walking beside him with some anticipation.
Jiang Xiyu looked around at the furnishings and commented, "Pretty good."
Could it be bad?
They booked the entire Waijiang Building, and countless luxury cars were parked outside.
With such a grand scale, it would be difficult for the banquet to go wrong.
Having received Jiang Xiyu's affirmation, Lu Ziqi smiled and leaned closer, asking almost inexplicably, "Brother, which birthday party do you think is better, mine or Xu Yunzhi's?"
Jiang Xiyu thought for a moment and then said, "I can't remember."
He didn't really remember Xu Yunzhi's birthday party, but he did remember what happened at the hotel that night. Being drugged as soon as he arrived was not a pleasant memory.
Jiang Xiyu said, "Alright, you go and greet the others. I can wander around by myself."
Lu Ziqi shook his head and said, "No, none of them are as important as you, brother."
Especially Bai Chengci and Xu Yunzhi were following behind.
What if he leaves and those two come back to bother me?
As Lu Ziqi pondered this, his body unconsciously moved a little closer to Jiang Xiyu.
Jiang Xiyu's attention was not on Lu Ziqi, so she did not notice his actions.
Bai Chengci, watching Lu Ziqi's actions from behind, had an even colder look in her eyes.
Lu Ziqi seemed to be deliberately trying to annoy people, speaking very close to Jiang Xiyu, and even when young masters came to congratulate him on his birthday, he refused to leave Jiang Xiyu's side.
As a result, not only did Bai Chengci feel a sense of oppression, but Xu Yunzhi also clenched her fists tightly.
Lu Ziqi didn't care about the stares behind him at all, and only said to Jiang Xiyu, "Brother, you must have fun tonight."
Jiang Xiyu took the champagne from the waiter and casually asked, "Does it matter whether I'm happy or not?"
Lu Ziqi nodded without hesitation: "It's important, bro, you're my best friend."
Jiang Xiyu took a sip of wine, looked at Lu Ziqi, and said, "It's your birthday today, I'm just glad you're happy."
"I'm already so happy that you could come to my birthday party," Lu Ziqi said, recalling the gift in his hand. "And I didn't expect you to prepare a gift for me."
As he spoke, Lu Ziqi tossed Bai Chengci's gift aside and asked Jiang Xiyu curiously, "Brother, what gift did you give me?"
Jiang Xiyu didn't say it directly, but smiled and said, "I just picked it randomly, I don't know if you like it."
Lu Ziqi asked, "Did you choose it yourself, brother?"
Jiang Xiyu: "Mm."
“I like anything my brother gives me,” Lu Ziqi said happily.
In fact, the gifts from the young men in the banquet hall were piled up like a mountain, and most of them were very expensive, but Lu Ziqi showed little interest in them.
But at this moment, he felt a rare sense of anticipation.
My brother actually picked out a birthday present for him himself.
Lu Ziqi could hardly contain his curiosity and couldn't help but ask, "Can I open it now and take a look?"
Jiang Xiyu smiled and said, "Okay."
With his permission, Lu Ziqi opened the gift on the spot.
Jiang Xiyu gave him a 'Harry Winston' full diamond bracelet worth nearly 600,000 yuan.
Under the light, the bracelet is exquisite and luxurious, shining brightly.
Lu Ziqi doesn't have a hobby of wearing jewelry, but after seeing Jiang Xiyu's gift, he immediately and happily put it on his hand.
It's dazzling.
He loved it.
Lu Ziqi raised his hand in admiration for a long time before looking at Jiang Xiyu and saying, "Thank you, brother. This is the best gift I've received tonight."
Jiang Xiyu: "Whatever you like is fine."
"like."
After Lu Ziqi finished speaking, in order to express his excitement, he couldn't help but reach out and give Jiang Xiyu a light hug.
Lu Ziqi didn't think much about the hug; he was just genuinely touched.
After all, this bracelet looks quite valuable, and not long ago, Lu Ziqi had seen Jiang Xiyu working hard on the racetrack.
He spent so much of the money he worked so hard to earn.
Lu Ziqi was deeply moved and said again, "Brother, I really like it."
The wine in the glass sloshed around, and before Jiang Xiyu could react, Lu Ziqi had already embraced him.
Realizing it was his birthday, Jiang Xiyu paused, her hand that was about to push him away.
After all, he still regarded Lu Ziqi as his younger brother in his heart, so he accepted the hug as if it were just a brotherly embrace and then parted ways in an instant, but was suddenly startled by the noise behind him.
"Clap!"
The champagne tower suddenly collapsed, and the sound of shattering glasses echoed throughout the room.
Everyone's attention was drawn to it, and Jiang Xiyu also turned around.
Shards of glass littered the floor, wine splashed everywhere, and amidst the chaos, Bai Chengci stood there with his eyes lowered and his expression indifferent. He was about to look up at Jiang Xiyu when, upon hearing the voice behind him, a flash of disgust crossed his eyes.
Zhou Xi, who arrived late, witnessed Bai Chengci overturn the champagne tower. He then leisurely clapped his hands and coldly smiled, saying, "Good riddance."
