Chapter 9 I Only Believe in You 2
"Xu Zhe! Where have you been? I can't get through to you on the phone. Have you forgotten about your mother? Think about what day it is today? I've been waiting for you for a whole day!"
On the way back, at Su Han's strong request, Xu Zhe did not ride the eye-catching pink tandem bicycle, but rented a black sedan. However, he received a phone call halfway through the journey. The female voice on the other end was roaring, and her anger almost broke through the barrier of the screen, scaring Su Han who was playing with the cat in the back seat.
"Mom, calm down. Didn't I go to the island to set up the art exhibition? I told Dad a long time ago!" Xu Zhe parked the car aside and said pitifully.
Su Han suddenly felt nervous. Was it Xu Zhe's mother on the other end of the phone? She had never heard him mention his family since he became her roommate! However, looking at Qin Mumu's proud aura and Xu Zhe's usual attitude of treating money like dirt, his family background must be extraordinary.
I have to say that Xu Zhe's skill in playing dumb is simply first-rate. I don't know what he said in a low voice, but the voice on the other end of the phone immediately became lower. He chatted for a few words, hung up the phone, and turned to Su Han.
"Okay, Su Han, I've already told my mom that today is her birthday, and I have to bring my girlfriend home to see her."
Su Han was startled. Her eyes widened, as innocent as a lost deer. "What did you say? Take me home?"
"That's right, don't worry, my parents will definitely like you!"
Seeing his indifferent expression, Su Han's heart was beating fast: "But...but, it's your mother's birthday today, and I'm not prepared at all..."
"It doesn't matter. Your existence is the greatest gift! They will be so happy!"
It was not until the evening that Su Han truly understood what Xu Zhe meant by "her existence is the greatest gift."
Xu Zhe's home is in the suburbs, which is also the legendary villa area where the rich people in the city live. Even if you drive, it takes a long time to get there. When the car stopped in front of the two-person-high carved iron gate, Su Han was very nervous. The sky was gradually darkening, and the unique star-shaped night lights on the lawn lit up one after another, making the silver-gray modern villa in front particularly romantic. She couldn't describe what Xu Zhe's home felt like. It was a bit like coming to an art gallery, full of minimalist beauty.
"My father is an architect, and he designed my house himself. Doesn't it look nice? My late grandfather was a painter. My mother and I are like him and like to paint. You will be able to see when the time comes. There are many of his paintings hanging in my house." Xu Zhe opened the car door for her and introduced enthusiastically.
Su Han became nervous. She finally knew where Xu Zhe's special artistic temperament came from. It turned out that it was inherited from the family!
When I arrived at Xu Zhe's home, the first thing I saw was a huge swimming pool. With the constant temperature automatic air-conditioning control, I didn't feel cold at all even in late autumn. There were many guests in bikinis and swimming trunks chatting by the pool with cocktails in their hands. When they saw Xu Zhe coming back, many handsome men and beautiful women came over to say hello, and they all cast curious eyes on Su Han behind him. Xu Zhe responded perfunctorily with a few words, and seeing that Su Han was uncomfortable, he stepped in front of her.
After Su Han opened the door, before she could get nervous, Xu Zhe's mother rushed over. Her smooth and elegant face looked ageless. "Wow! Are you our Xu Zhe's girlfriend? She's so cute! He has good taste!"
Su Han couldn't help but smack his lips. This...is this too enthusiastic?
Xu Zhe's father looked a lot like him, wearing a calm black suit, but when he heard his wife's call, he immediately ran over obediently: "Not bad."
Xu Zhe's handsome face showed a bit of pride, and he hugged Su Han tightly: "Of course, don't you see whose girlfriend she is."
The atmosphere over there was harmonious and happy. Qin Mumu hid behind the pillar in the living room, watching the harmonious scene in front of her, and her teeth ached with anger. Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu liked her the most in the past, but she had never received such a warm reception. Unexpectedly, Su Han came for the first time and...
"Hi Mumu, long time no see. Do you know who the girl Xu Zhe is holding?"
A handsome boy walked up to Qin Mumu. He looked at Xu Zhe's family not far away with curiosity and a gossipy expression. He was a friend of both Qin Mumu and Xu Zhe. He came to attend the birthday party of Professor Xu's wife today. However, it was the first time he saw an unfamiliar girl next to Xu Zhe, and they looked so intimate.
"I don't know!" Qin Mumu turned her head and said unhappily.
"You don't know either?" He shrugged frustratedly. "Everyone is very curious, so they asked me to ask you."
Qin Mumu looked behind him. There were several people at the swimming pool , staring at this side without blinking. She suddenly had an idea.
"Since everyone wants to meet her, I'll ask her to play with us!"
"Really? That's great!" The boy snapped his fingers happily and rushed back to the swimming pool. I don't know what he and his friends gestured to, but a burst of laughter broke out over there.
After waiting for a long time until Su Han was left alone, Xu Zhe left with his family to say hello to the elders. Qin Mumu came to Su Han with a big smile and took her hand without saying anything.
"Su Han! You are here to attend Aunt Xu's birthday party as well. Many of Xu Zhe's friends want to meet you! Come on, I'll take you to introduce you!"
Seeing Qin Mumu in this unfamiliar environment, Su Han was in a daze for a moment. When she came to her senses, she was already being held by Qin Mumu's hand and led out of the hall, straight to the swimming pool. But when she appeared, countless curious and scrutinizing eyes gathered on her like searchlights, and those who were originally chatting and laughing all became inexplicably quiet. Only then did she realize that this was not as simple as making new friends.
The swimming pool exuded a blue-green glow, and an orchestra was invited to play soothing music in a corner. People were either chatting in twos and threes in gorgeous evening gowns, or tasting champagne in the pool in sexy swimsuits.
There were elegant people in fine clothes, and people were drinking and chatting. Every handsome man and beautiful woman was dressed so beautifully. In this occasion, Su Han, who was wearing a simple white dress and canvas shoes, suddenly felt that her appearance was out of tune with the people around her. She didn't even wear any jewelry, and the looks they cast at her were as if they were looking at some novel animals in a zoo.
"Mu Mu, who is this?" A beautiful girl wearing an exquisite little black dress and a gorgeous necklace came to them with a cocktail in her hand. She didn't even look at Su Han and asked Qin Mu Mu directly.
"She is a friend of Su Han, Xu Zhe and me."
The beautiful lady seemed to have heard some very surprising news, and she subconsciously cried out in shock: "Xu Zhe? Impossible, unbelievable."
Su Han didn't know what to say. She rolled her eyes in her heart. She knew Qin Mumu wanted to embarrass her, so she simply said, "I'm Xu Zhe's..."
Before she finished speaking, a group of boys of the same age who had just climbed out of the swimming pool gathered around her. They obviously knew Qin Mumu, and after a quick greeting, they focused their attention on Su Han.
"New friend? How come I've never seen him before?"
"Yes, Mumu, can you introduce me?"
Qin Mumu said symbolically, "Hey, can you please be polite? Don't scare people. Watch out for Xu Zhe causing trouble for you!"
One of the blond mixed-race boys jumped out and deliberately got very close to Su Han: "Oh my God, did I hear it wrongly? Is it really Xu Zhe? The young master Xu Zhe we know?"
After saying that, he turned around exaggeratedly and looked at his friends. Everyone showed meaningful smiles. A boy with single eyelids and peach blossom eyes pulled him away and looked at Su Han carefully for a while, as if he was looking at some commodity. "She is really different. I have never been with such a pure girl. No wonder Xu Zhe brought her back. Maybe he wants to find inspiration for new creations!"
After saying this, everyone present burst into laughter, and no one cared about Su Han's feelings at all.
