Chapter 185: The Fearful Coming-of-Age Ceremony
Chapter 185: The Fearful Coming-of-Age Ceremony
"Mom, do you think Chi Feiwan will tell her mother about me at the coming-of-age ceremony on Thursday..." Li Qiong's voice was trembling and her palms were sweating.
"Don't worry." Li's mother comforted, "Chi Feiwan's third brother also attends Beijing No. 1 Middle School. Chi Feiwan is not the apple of the eye in the Chi family. Shen Linxi will definitely attend Chi Yizi's coming-of-age ceremony."
"What about Chi Feiwan's father..."
Guan Shu touched her head and said, "No, a man like Chi Yuanqing doesn't even love his wife, let alone his own children."
Although the matter of the illegitimate daughter was not known to everyone, people in the circle still knew something about it. How much could a man who even had an illegitimate daughter dote on his wife's children?
After hearing what her mother said, Li Qiong felt a little relieved.
Li Qiong thought of another question: "What if the people who come to attend Chi Feiwan's coming-of-age ceremony are her two brothers?"
Guan Shu knew more about the circle than Li Qiong: "Chi Feiwan's eldest brother is now abroad. With her second brother's personality, I don't think he will come to attend Chi Feiwan's coming-of-age ceremony."
Guan Shu held Li Qiong's sweaty hands and said, "Don't be afraid, Qiong. Even if Chi Feiwan really tells the Chi family about this, I will protect you."
I have to say that Guan Shu is definitely a good mother.
The sky is as blue as a gem, the sun is bright and soft, and the breeze is blowing gently.
Shen Linxi and Chi Yizi got up very early, but Chi Feiwan slept comfortably at home.
"Wanwan, why don't you get up at this time?" Chi Yizi still had a sandwich in his hand.
Shen Linxi placed her jewelry on the coffee table one by one and chose at random: "She took a day off today."
"why?"
"With no parents attending her coming-of-age ceremony, she has to ask for leave." Shen Linxi chose the necklace that Li Chuan gave her and put it on.
"You're not attending her Bat Mitzvah?"
Shen Linxi glanced at him and said, "I'll attend hers, who will attend your coming-of-age ceremony?"
"Do you think your scumbag father will attend your coming-of-age ceremony? If I remember correctly, he was celebrating Qian Shian's birthday today."
Chi Yizi frowned deeply: "Is today Qian Shian's birthday?"
Shen Linxi nodded.
Chi Yizi forced a smile: "What a coincidence."
"what?"
"nothing."
She turned around, picked up her cell phone, called the driver, and prepared to leave for school.
The school has invited all the high schools in Beijing to hold a coming-of-age ceremony. Given the status of Beijing No. 1 High School, all the invited high schools will attend.
According to the regulations of this coming-of-age ceremony, boys must wear suits and girls must wear skirts. There are no color or style requirements. It's so beautiful to wear them this way.
The coming-of-age ceremony will be held throughout the morning, so the physical education classes for the first and second year high school students have been cancelled and the exercises between classes have been cancelled. They are not allowed to play on the playground.
All the senior students moved their chairs to the playground. The activity has not started yet, so some students brought their parents to visit the campus first.
Without a doubt, the parents of Class 1 and Class 2 were the most eager to see the event. After all, for most people present, the term "rich family" seemed out of reach. Who could have expected that one day they would be able to see with their own eyes the rich and powerful families described in the novels?
As soon as Shen Linxi got out of the car, he became the focus of the whole audience.
Her outerwear is a smoke-grey silhouette horn button coat, and as an inner layer, she chose an apricot turtleneck sweater, which is warm and comfortable while also adding a touch of gentleness. The lower body is matched with a black A-line skirt and a pair of black high-heeled boots on her feet, adding a sense of fashion and confidence to the whole look.
This style of dressing is in sharp contrast with the ladies around her who are wearing gorgeous evening gowns. It is more like a capable outfit for a career woman, but it reveals a simple yet elegant temperament in the details. This woman stands out from the crowd like a bright star in the night sky.
The independence, confidence and charm she exudes is impossible to ignore.
Next to her, Chi Yizi was wearing a black suit, looking handsome and tall. His elegant temperament complemented Shen Linxi.
The two walked into the campus together, attracting countless envious and admiring glances.
As soon as Shen Linxi and his son entered the campus, Yu Zhilan and his son followed.
Yu Zhilan looks like a good wife and mother in her light brown cotton suspender skirt, which gives people a warm feeling. She wears a knitted cardigan in the same color, and a pair of versatile shoes on her feet, which is simple yet fashionable.
Jiang Huaixu next to him was equally dazzling, wearing a dark grey straight suit. He walked over calmly, his delicate features tinged with a hint of coldness, and his eyes were distant and indifferent.
When the four of them meet, it's a paradise for those who love good looks.
Their appearance seemed to light up the entire campus and became a beautiful landscape.
However, in this lively atmosphere, Li Qiong's heart was filled with uneasiness.
She looked around, searching for Chi Feiwan, while also worrying that her secret would be revealed.
Guan Shu went to the bathroom, while Li Qiong was looking for a figure among a group of gorgeously dressed people.
Chi Feiwan is not tall and has a pair of blue eyes, so he is easy to find.
Li Qiong looked around and even saw Shen Linxi and Chi Yizi, but not Chi Feiwan.
She didn't know yet that Chi Feiwan had taken leave.
Yu Zhilan and Shen Linxi were holding hands. Yu Zhilan was also looking for Chi Feiwan: "Why can't I see Wanwan?"
"She asked for leave." Shen Linxi's tone was indescribably cold.
"Taking leave on such an important day?" Yu Zhilan's eyes flashed with surprise.
At this time, a luxury car slowly drove into the campus, attracting people's attention.
The car door opened and a beautiful woman in an exquisite suit got out.
She has an elegant temperament, and her every move reveals dignity and confidence.
Li Qiong recognized her, the wife of the principal of Beijing No. 1 Middle School.
The wife of the principal of Beijing No. 1 Middle School is the daughter of a wealthy family in Haicheng. Although her family only owns a small business, she is a real socialite.
The principal's wife walked straight towards the principal, which meant that the coming-of-age ceremony was about to begin.
Li Qiong breathed a sigh of relief, but the uneasiness in her heart did not disappear.
Just because she didn’t find Chi Feiwan doesn’t mean Chi Feiwan didn’t come to attend the coming-of-age ceremony.
Li Qiong not only had to watch Chi Feiwan, but also had to pay attention to the expressions of Shen Linxi and Chi Yizi at all times. Anyone approaching them could affect Li Qiong's emotions.
Li Qiong was frightened here, but Liang Jinyan, who also bullied Chi Feiwan, was calm and composed. Even after meeting Shen Linxi, he did not feel guilty at all.
Guan Shu was right beside Li Qiong and had noticed the fear on Li Qiong's face: "Don't be afraid, don't worry, nothing unexpected will happen."
Li Qiong prayed secretly, hoping that this coming-of-age ceremony would go smoothly without any accidents.
