There was a sudden silence between them. They realized that Song Rongzhi had been living abroad and had only returned to China in the last few months, so they suddenly started gossiping.
"I've been single since birth."
Song Rongzhi said, feigning a melancholy tone.
"Is there anyone you like?"
Zeng Xueting continued to press for answers, determined to get to the bottom of things.
Upon hearing this, Song Rongzhi couldn't help but recall the handsome man she had brushed past on the bus that day, and her heart began to race.
"Looks like you have someone you like. What does he do for a living? Is he handsome?"
After noticing Song Rongzhi's reaction, Zeng Xueting asked her questions repeatedly.
"I also want to know."
Song Rongzhi looked helpless. She had only glanced at the other person briefly; how could she possibly know these things...?
"what happened?"
Zeng Xueting felt there was a story behind it.
Do you believe in love at first sight?
Song Rongzhi asked seriously.
"Do not believe."
Zeng Xueting shook her head.
“I didn’t believe it before, but now that I’ve met him, I do.”
Song Rongzhi was lively and cheerful, and since the other person was her best friend, she did not hide her feelings from her.
"My God, how handsome must he be to have captivated a tall, beautiful woman like you?"
Zeng Xueting looked stunned.
"Anyway, he's incredibly handsome, and he's totally my type."
Song Rongzhi recalled the scene at that time, and a look of infatuation appeared on her pretty face.
"If I have the chance, I really want to meet him."
Zeng Xueting smiled slightly and said.
"Sigh, I'm not even sure if I'll ever see him again."
Song Rongzhi looked worried.
"Relax, relax. Since fate has brought you together at first sight, fate will surely bring you together again."
Zeng Xueting patted the other woman's shoulder, gave her a big hug, and comforted her.
The worry on Song Rongzhi's face faded slightly, but she also understood that there seemed to be nothing she could do except leave it to fate.
"Why don't you come with me tomorrow?"
Song Rongzhi asked tentatively.
"Never mind, it's someone else's birthday party. It would be a bit impolite to go without being invited."
Zeng Xueting pouted and politely declined.
"What's wrong with that? You're the daughter of the Zeng family, on the same level as the He family."
“Your two families are even old friends, so He Lintian will definitely welcome you.”
Song Rongzhi continued to encourage Zeng Xueting.
Zeng Xueting thought about it and felt that her best friend had a point. "Well... okay, I'll go with you tomorrow!"
Time passed quietly, and soon it was evening of the second day.
He Qinzhou drove alone from the penthouse to the He family manor.
A Maybach drove through the open gates of the He family manor and then stopped in the open space in front of the mansion.
The car door opened, and He Qinzhou got out. He then moved to the passenger side and took out a bouquet of roses and lilies from the seat.
In the open space in front of the mansion, there were already some luxury cars parked, most of which were business-class vehicles.
Some of the guests who wanted to attend Jiang Suyue's birthday banquet had already arrived.
He Qinzhou, holding flowers, walked through the gate of the manor.
"Hello, Master."
The passing servants, upon seeing He Qinzhou, all bowed and spoke respectfully.
After nodding to them, He Qinzhou asked one of the servants where Jiang Suyue was.
After receiving a response, he went to the reception room.
In the reception room, Jiang Suyue was greeting some friends.
Happy birthday, Mom.
He Qinzhou walked straight forward, presented a bouquet of flowers, and smiled broadly.
"Thank you son."
Jiang Suyue took the flowers, turned and hugged him, and kissed him on the cheek.
"The flowers are beautiful, I like them very much."
Although it's just a simple bouquet of flowers, it looks like it costs at most a few hundred yuan.
However, this did not diminish Jiang Suyue's joy.
After all, it was a gift from her son, and she would like it even if it were an ordinary gift.
Chapter 395: Bizarre Parents
"It's not just flowers."
He Qinzhou gave a meaningful reminder.
Jiang Suyue paused, then, as if understanding, glanced at a bunch of flowers and pulled out a bank card, her face showing a puzzled expression.
"There are 300 million inside. The password is your birthday. It's a gift for you. Spend it as you please."
He Qinzhou whispered in Jiang Suyue's ear.
Jiang Suyue was immediately startled.
However, since there were guests present, she didn't ask any further questions.
He Qinzhou greeted Jiang Suyue's friends; by seniority, these people were all his uncles and aunts.
Among them were some very familiar faces.
After politely greeting these people, Jiang Suyue, still puzzled, found an excuse to call He Qinzhou out of the reception room.
On the way, He Lintian saw it and went over to join them.
The family of three arrived at an empty room on the first floor.
"You brat, is there really 300 million in this card? Where did you get so much money?"
With no outsiders present, Jiang Suyue voiced her questions.
He sounded quite worried, as if he feared that his son had obtained it through illegal means.
"Don't forget I'm the head of the He family now. Giving you 300 million to spend is a piece of cake."
He Qinzhou gave a brief explanation.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Suyue patted her forehead and cursed herself for having such a bad memory.
However, you can't really blame her for that.
He Qinzhou becoming the head of the He family was only a matter of a few days ago, and Jiang Suyue had not yet gotten used to his change in status.
She always subconsciously thought that her son was still just the successor of the He Group.
Jiang Suyue suddenly remembered something, went back to her room and brought over a small box.
"This necklace is for Mengzhu. She's your fiancée. Why didn't you bring her?"
Jiang Suyue asked.
"As one of the four major families, the Xu family knows that our He family is going to hold a birthday banquet. Uncle Xu will definitely send her over, no doubt about it."
He Qinzhou wasn't worried at all that Xu Mengzhu wouldn't come, so he waved his hand dismissively.
Jiang Suyue nodded, agreeing with his statement.
Without hesitation, she handed the small box containing the jade necklace to He Qinzhou, saying, "If you see Mengzhu, please give this gift to her for me and see if she likes it. If she doesn't, I'll exchange it."
“Okay.” He Qinzhou took the small box.
"By the way, I didn't see Uncle Yang earlier. Didn't he come?"
He Qinzhou seemed to remember something and asked Jiang Suyue.
“You know he’s not a regular person, so it’s not convenient for him to attend this kind of banquet. That’s why he just called me to say he won’t be coming, but he sent Zhixia instead.”
He Lintian naturally knew that the "Uncle Yang" He Qinzhou was referring to was Yang Zhixia's father, Yang Guangjun, and immediately responded.
After all, the two families are old acquaintances.
In the past, He Lintian often brought He Qinzhou to visit the Yang family, and Yang Guangjun also brought Yang Zhixia to visit the He family.
"You brat, you don't actually want to know if your Uncle Yang is coming, you just want to know if Zhixia is coming, right?"
Jiang Suyue felt as if she had seen through her son's thoughts.
"Mom, why do you think that?"
He Qinzhou was somewhat surprised, and then awkwardly touched his nose.
"Do you really think your mother is stupid? Don't forget that you two have been friends since childhood, childhood sweethearts, inseparable since you were little. Moreover, at the press conference of Xia Zhi Group, you publicly announced your relationship with her. Although I was not back in the country at that time, I was watching your every move."
Jiang Suyue glared at He Qinzhou with annoyance and slowly analyzed the situation.
"Mom, you're so clever."
He Qinzhou gave an awkward smile.
"Hey, do Mengzhu and Xiazhi know about your relationship with them?"
Jiang Suyue's gossipy nature was also piqued by He Qinzhou's actions, and she asked him a question.
"Of course I know, and I like both of them. Not to mention them, I like all my other women too. If I had to choose one and give up the others, I definitely couldn't do it."
He Qinzhou's words were astonishing, leaving He Lintian and Jiang Suyue looking at each other in bewilderment.
Seeing He Qinzhou's determination, He Lintian nodded with satisfaction, put his hand on He Qinzhou's shoulder, and said earnestly, "Alright, son, our He family is small. You are the only heir of the main branch of the He family in your generation. The heavy responsibility of carrying on the family line falls entirely on your shoulders."
"Find as many as you can. The more people you have, the more children you'll have. The revitalization of the He family depends on you!"
"Yes, son, our family is not short of money. We can afford to raise as many as we want. There's no need to worry so much."
Jiang Suyue echoed this sentiment.
He Lintian and Jiang Suyue took turns giving He Qinzhou a "family education."
He Qinzhou was speechless, feeling that the two were just too bizarre.
However, when I think about their villainous characters, it all makes sense.
If the two of them didn't have such bizarre ideas, they probably wouldn't have been able to raise such a villainous son.
He Qinzhou was reprimanded and naturally accepted the two men's instruction.
He Lintian and Jiang Suyue were overjoyed and went to the living room to greet their guests.
There was still some time before dinner, and He Qinzhou had no interest in interacting with people a generation older than himself, so he didn't go to the living room. He simply took a short stroll around the He family manor.
Then, at a table not far away, he saw a beautiful girl all alone.
The girl sat on a sofa, holding a glass of champagne, and gently swirled the wine glass in her hand.
Her every gesture exudes intelligence and elegance.
Looking at the woman whose looks were no less impressive than the women around him, He Qinzhou felt a sense of familiarity well up inside him.
