”Are you going to send Xiao Shu to school?”
”Yeah.” Gu Qianjing nodded. “Xiao Shu wants to go to school by himself. He must be eager to integrate into collective life.”
Then she looked at Lin Mingqi seriously and said, “Xiao Shu wants to go to Blue City International because all his friends are studying in this school. As parents, we should help him as much as possible.”
”Of course.” Lin Mingqi’s arm went around Gu Qianjing and rested on the armrest of the sofa beside her. From the front, it looked like he was hugging Gu Qianjing.
Gu Qianjing added, “Since this school is so difficult to get into…”
Lin Mingqi said, “Then we as parents should also try hard…”
Before he finished speaking, Gu Qianjing’s next words were, “Why don’t you donate a teaching building to the school!”
Lin Mingqi: “……”
Then he sighed, stood up, and gave Gu Qianjing a detailed introduction to Blue City International School.
The oldest aristocratic school in Sheungshui City, it was founded by a British duke who came to China to preach during the Republic of China period. Over the hundreds of years, Blue City International has trained countless politicians and business tycoons. Almost all students who graduate from Blue City International can continue their studies at internationally renowned universities.
Moreover, the school has a particularly positive academic atmosphere and only accepts open and transparent forms of donations. It once directly rejected an abnormal donation of up to 10 billion yuan.
”So, do you think they will let Xiaoshu go to school just because I donated a building?” Lin Mingqi asked.
Gu Qianjing thought for a moment and suddenly asked, “Is this school the aristocratic school that you and Li Yunhua attended together?”
Lin Mingqi took a long time to say “hmm” with a guilty look on his face.
Gu Qianjing did not continue to dwell on this topic, but just said, “If that’s the case, we as parents should do our best.”
She put away the script spread out on the sofa, and Lin Mingqi’s eyes fell on the cover.
”James’s ‘Big Hands, Small Hands’?”
Lin had thought about investing in this movie before, but James was too famous. Almost every movie he made was a hit, and most of the investors in James were overseas companies. Lin had tried several times but ultimately failed to get the investment rights.
Gu Qianjing rolled up the script and held it in her hand. “Xiao Shu’s school is more important now, so I’ll just turn down the film offer. I don’t have that much energy to work on it.”
”Don’t you think it’s a pity?” Lin Mingqi asked.
”Of course it’s a pity.” Gu Qianjing sighed, “But if you miss Xiaoshu’s schooling, you miss it. Time cannot be reversed. There will be opportunities to encounter good scripts again in the future.”
Lin Mingqi pursed his lips. Seeing the script in Gu Qianjing’s hand, he suddenly felt emotional.
”Qianqian, when Xiaoshu goes to school, you can choose the script yourself. I will invest in whatever role you want to play. If not, we can open a film and television company at home. We won’t be afraid of losing money.”
”Lin Mingqi, can you speak? What do you mean by losing money? Why would I lose money by investing?”
”Who asked you to invest? It’s so annoying!”
”Stay out of my business!” Gu Qianjing went upstairs cursing. Lin Mingqi touched his nose, still thinking about what he had said wrong.
After Gu Qianjing went upstairs, Lin Mingqi realized that he had not seen Xiaoshu since returning home.
He called out to a maid who was floating around, “Where is Xiao Shu?”
”To reply to Mr. Lin, the community supermarket is holding a promotion, and my wife asked the housekeeper to take Xiao Shu to get the eggs.”
”Where have you been?” Lin Mingqi suspected that he had heard it wrong.
The maid repeated it again, and then added, “Madam said that Xiao Shu should go out more often to meet people and train his social skills.”
Lin Mingqi, “…” How come a supermarket opened in a high-end villa area has become so down-to-earth?
Gu Qianjing returned to the room, closed the door, and then covered her pounding heart with her hands.
She was really not used to this kind of sudden concern. When Lin Mingqi said he would open a film and television company for her, she felt her face turn red and her heart beat fast. She had to curse to cover up her loss of composure.
Lin Mingqi, what a bastard! Gu Qianjing cursed him in her heart, but then she felt that it was wrong, as she was somewhat bullying an honest man.
That night, Lin Mingqi downloaded the application form from the academic affairs website of Blue City International, filled it out word by word under the supervision of Gu Qianjing, and then clicked [Submit].
”Don’t worry.” Lin Mingqi comforted Gu Qianjing, “With our family’s qualifications, Xiao Shu should be able to get the interview qualification.”
This was not what Gu Qianjing was worried about. What she was most worried about was that Xiao Shu couldn’t speak. If the school had a taboo in this regard, they might not even give him the qualification for an interview.
But she just thought about it in her heart and didn’t say it out loud to avoid adding to her anxiety.
The interview results will be out in three days anyway, so just wait patiently!
In the blink of an eye, it was Sunday, the day when the old house was going to hold a dinner party.
Normally people would just stroll back home when they go back to their parents’ house, and at most they would buy a few pounds of fruit downstairs in the community, and that would be considered sensible young people.
But for wealthy families, it’s not that simple at all.
A stylist came to the house early in the morning. After looking at the cheongsam that Gu Qianjing was going to wear in the evening, the stylist combed her long hair into a neat bun according to the style of the cheongsam, and also put on a beautiful peach blossom makeup, which complemented the lotus pink cheongsam.
Gu Qianjing got dressed and went to the cloakroom to pick out shoes.
Not long after, Lin Mingqi, who had just had his hair blow-dried, came in to look for a suit. His short hair, which had been hanging on his forehead, was combed back, revealing his smooth forehead, making his facial features look even more flawless.
When the two of them stood together, even the stylist couldn’t help but praise them as a perfect couple.
When Lin Mingqi was choosing a suit, Gu Qianjing took out the lotus pink tie and asked casually, “Do you want to try this tie?”
Lin Mingqi took a look at the pink tie, with rejection written in his eyes.
Gu Qianjing put the tie back into the box and said, “If you don’t like it, forget it.”
After Xiao Shu finished styling himself, he came to find his mother,
The stylist gave him the same hairstyle as his father, and he wore the same black suit that Lin Mingqi usually wore to work. Standing next to Lin Mingqi, they looked like Russian dolls. Except for their height and body shape, everything else was almost exactly the same.
Xiao Shu pointed at his mother’s skirt and then at his own collar. He still remembered that Aunt Xiao Ye had said she would make him a bow tie, so he came to his mother to ask for a bow tie.
Gu Qianjing took out a pink bow tie and put it on Xiaoshu. Pink is a color that matches the skin tone very well. After putting on the bow tie, Xiaoshu looked cute and not girly at all. His handsomeness added a kind of exquisite elegance.
Xiao Shu tied his little bow tie and walked away holding hands with his mother.
”Lin Mingqi, I’m waiting for you downstairs.” Gu Qianjing called out, “Hurry up.”
Ten minutes later, Mr. Lin walked down the stairs, wearing the same black suit as Xiaoshu, with the same lotus pink tie tied on his collar.
Gu Qianjing’s eyes fell on Lin Mingqi’s pink tie. The lotus pink color was actually very low-key, and coupled with Lin Mingqi’s fair skin, the whole person looked very gentle.
”Pink suits you quite well.” Gu Qianjing said.
Lin Mingqi: “…Don’t talk!”
There will definitely be some wine at today’s dinner. Lin Mingqi finally didn’t drive himself. The driver who had been idle at home breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s fine that the husband likes to drive himself, but even his wife suddenly likes to drive herself for some unknown reason. The idle driver worries every day about losing his job.
Elfa’s top-of-the-line business car passed through the forest-like community and exited the luxurious gate of the community, but did not go toward the city center, but headed out of the city.
”Where are we going?” Gu Qianjing turned and looked at Lin Mingqi.
Lin Mingqi was examining his pink tie in the reflection of the window glass when he was suddenly called. He looked away awkwardly.
”Go to Huayun.”
”Ah?” Gu Qianjing didn’t know what Huayun was.
Lin Mingqi tugged at his tie with one hand and said, “Huayun Villa was bought by my father a few years ago and was renovated not long ago. We have never been there since he was not at home. This is my first time going there today.”
”Why call you Hua Yun?” Gu Qianjing asked casually.
Lin Mingqi was the first to get sensitive. “Don’t get the wrong idea. It has nothing to do with Li Yunhua. The design concept of the manor is the concept of ‘gorgeous clouds’, so Dad directly named the manor ‘Huayun’.”
Gu Qianjing rolled her eyes. “I didn’t think wrongly. It’s you who seem to always have that person’s name in your mind.”
”I……”
Before Lin Mingqi could finish his words of defense, a writing board was immediately placed in front of them, “Stop quarreling!”
”No quarrel, no quarrel!” Gu Qianjing and Lin Mingqi said quickly.
Huayun Manor is located at the southernmost part of Sheungshui. The clouds here are very beautiful, often piled up in large clumps on the horizon. The fiery clouds in the evening are even more brilliant and dreamy.
There is a calm and clear small lake in the manor. The clouds in the sky are reflected in the lake, which makes the sky even more beautiful.
The old house’s housekeeper was welcoming guests at the door. When he saw Gu Qianjing and her family’ car, he drove a golf cart and took them to the parking lot.
Lin Mingxun’s car had just arrived at the parking lot. She was wearing a black strapless tulle dress with diamonds embellished on it that sparkled in the sun. She also wore a diamond-encrusted crown on her deliberately messy black hair. She looked extremely noble.
Because Lin Mingxun couldn’t wear high heels now, the hem of her gauze skirt was a little longer, and it was rolled up to her feet several times. Miss Lin kicked the hem of her skirt a few times in annoyance.
Xiao Shu ran up to her and stopped Lin Mingxuan, his big watery eyes curved in a smile.
”Xiao Shu?” Lin Mingxun called out in surprise, then turned around and saw Gu Qianjing and Lin Mingqi walking towards him one after another.
Gu Qianjing waved at her.
Lin Mingxun raised her hand and her eyes fell on her brother Lin Mingqi’s tie. As a non-professional fashion designer who had transformed from an international supermodel, she gave her professional opinion.
”Lin Mingqi, pink suits you very well!”
Lin Mingqi: “…you shut up too.”
