The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven

Chapter 162 Uninvited Guest

There were already five men and women sitting in Guixiang's room on the second floor.

"We asked Cai Bin to go downstairs and wait for Dongdong, but ended up getting Brother Jiang involved as well." A young girl pouted and said dissatisfiedly. She had a pretty face, and was wearing an elegant and exquisite purple shirt with fluttering runes and flickering spiritual light on it, making her look like a fairy.

"Come to think of it, you asked Cai Bin to pick up Dongdong, aren't you just watching the fun? You know that the two of them have never gotten along since childhood." The young girl frowned as she looked at the older woman next to her. She was not there before and just got off work. If she knew about this, she would definitely stop it.

The woman had a heroic look, and her clothes were simple and neat, without any extra patterns or jewelry. Her style was completely different from that of a young girl.

"Sister Shao Yan, if it's not Cai Bin, then who should go?" The girl raised her beautiful eyes and looked at a man sitting at the door. "Are you going to let Yang Qing go? Dong Dong's identity is there."

The obvious meaning is that Yang Qing's identity does not match.

But the man named "Yang Qing" was not angry or embarrassed.

After all, he didn't grow up with them. He was only able to sit at the table recently because he knew Jiang Caibin. So he smiled and said, "Yes, and I don't know Miss Dongdong either."

The other young man sitting next to him, with a round head and a pale and soft face, said hesitantly: "Sister Yu Ke... don't..."

"You're just a soft persimmon, don't meddle in my business." Yu Ke showed a beautiful smile on her pretty face and called the young man's nickname sweetly, but her words were cold.

The "soft persimmon" young man blushed, lowered his head, and dared not say anything more.

This little sister has a powerful father and brother. She is very spoiled at home and is beautiful. She has always been the darling of everyone.

"Look, Brother Jing never says anything to me." Yu Ke held her cheek with her hand and tilted her head to look at the handsome young man on the other side with a cold and arrogant face.

That "Brother Jing" never bought into her tricks and just said coldly, "Whatever you say."

Before Yu Ke could say anything else, there was a knock on the door of the private room.

As soon as the door opened, Wang Dongdong, whom they hadn't seen for a long time, appeared at the door.

Everyone was somewhat happy, and even the ice on "Brother Jing's" face melted a little.

Then, a strange girl appeared behind her and everyone was stunned.

……

The banquet began when the Jiang brothers entered the box awkwardly.

Dishes came in one after another, including the roast duck and mutton soup that Liu Sheng was most looking forward to, and even roasted fragrant pork, abalone, sea cucumber, shark's fin and bird's nest.

It looks like a serious banquet indeed!

Liu Sheng's eyes lit up as he waited to start eating.

But Wang Dongdong didn't allow it.

"This is my best friend, Liu Sheng, who is from Hanshan Academy and is also a candidate for this year's imperial examination."

Liu Sheng actually wanted to just start eating quietly, but Wang Dongdong introduced herself to her friends in such a serious manner that she couldn't refuse her, so she could only put her hands down obediently and listen to her introduction carefully.

"This is Sister Shao Yan, and the one next to her is Sister Ling Yuke." Wang Dongdong first introduced the only two girls seated besides them to Liu Sheng.

Shao Yan was more enthusiastic. She pulled Liu Sheng to sit next to her and asked Wang Dongdong to sit on the other side of Liu Sheng so that Liu Sheng would not be so embarrassed.

However, since there were people on both sides, Ling Xiaoshu had to squeeze on a bench with Liu Sheng, which was really awkward.

As for Ling Yuke, Liu Sheng had no interest in trying to please someone who was not accepted by the client.

"Brother Jinghao, you look cold but your heart is warm."

The cold-faced cool guy responded, and it seemed that he was indeed warmer than that Ling Yuke.

"This is the soft persimmon, oh no, it's Ruan Shizhi." Wang Dongdong and the others were so used to calling him by his nickname that they almost forgot his real name.

Ruan Shizhi scratched the back of his head and shyly whispered to Liu Sheng, "Hello, Miss Liu."

"This is..." Wang Dongdong still didn't recognize Yang Qing.

"I'm Cai Bin's friend, my last name is Yang Qing, and my father is the assistant lawyer of the Taichang Temple."

Yang Qing took the initiative to introduce himself, smiling innocently and revealing a row of neat white teeth.

After he finished speaking, Liu Sheng heard everyone muttering in low voices.

"I always forget what my father does..."

"So it's Xie Lu Lang..."

"Eighth rank, okay..."

Jiang Caibin nodded without comment, agreeing to the relationship.

This shows the difference between Jiang Caibin and Wang Dongdong. Wang Dongdong solemnly introduced Liu Sheng to everyone, but Jiang Caibin let Yang Qing introduce himself awkwardly. Perhaps this also reflects the difference in status between the two in their hearts.

"This is eldest brother Jiang Caizhi, and his cousin Jiang Caibin, whom you have also met." Wang Dongdong finally talked about the Jiang brothers, his expression indifferent, showing that he still held a grudge.

"Except for this Young Master Yang, these guys are all my friends from childhood. I haven't seen them since I went to the weaving institute, which is about two years ago."

Liu Sheng smiled and bowed to each of them as a greeting.

However, although the smile on her face was gentle, she was filled with sorrow in her heart.

[Ah, I hate this kind of banquet...]

[But Dongdong likes it, so never mind, just accompany her. ]

Everyone expressed their welcome in a lukewarm manner. Liu Sheng noticed that the ones who were most enthusiastic and tried their best to take care of her were Shao Yan and Ruan Shizhi, and she made up her mind.

As Jiang Caizhi picked up a piece of the roasted pork's golden and crispy skin, the small banquet officially began.

Liu Sheng had just served himself a bowl of mutton offal soup. He had just taken the first sip and hadn't yet tasted the flavor when he heard Jiang Caibin ask a question in a drawn-out voice.

"I don't know... What does Miss Liu do at home?"

Wang Dongdong's face darkened.

Everyone's heart skipped a beat.

Is Jiang Caibin looking for trouble?
Judging from their temperament and clothes, they are obviously not from the same circle.

He is even worse than Yang Qing. After all, his family is an official, but his family members are not as powerful as these people.

Liu Sheng finally understood Wang Dongdong's words "a bit annoying".

But there was nothing to hide, so he said loudly: "My mother is a weapon refiner, and my father runs a restaurant."

"Oh... I wonder where to refine weapons and open a restaurant?"

Jiang Caibin's voice was lazy and lingered like a poisonous snake.

"In the Little Green Garden." Liu Sheng said indifferently.

"Is there such a place?" Ling Yuke frowned her beautiful eyebrows and couldn't help muttering.

Jiang Caibin also raised the corner of his mouth.

Liu Sheng said calmly, "It's in the Changxing Mountains in the north, a small town."

Everyone was even more surprised to find that it was a small town girl.

"It's already quite good that Miss Liu was admitted to Hanshan Academy." Jiang Caizhi said in a gentle voice, as if he was trying to help Liu Sheng out of trouble.

Liu Sheng knew this was the truth. How many people from Xiaoluyuan could be admitted to the top ten academies?

But she just hated this condescending tone.

"Not bad. I passed the provincial exam with the first place." Liu Sheng said indifferently.

The first examination everyone faces after starting school is the provincial examination, which is held uniformly by the prefectures and covers all the counties under the jurisdiction of the prefecture. Hundreds of students take the exam every year. Those who have experienced it know that it is indeed not easy to get first place in the provincial examination.

The people present also knew this, so no one spoke for a long time.

Although it is a remote provincial capital with fewer talented people and less intense competition, they also do not have the confidence that they can definitely get first place, not to mention that except for Jiang Caizhi, Shao Yan, Ling Yuke and Jing Hao, the others are the worst of the worst.

"My Shengsheng is so awesome!" Wang Dongdong took the opportunity to praise him.

She also felt vaguely unhappy with some people who looked down on her friends.

After being separated for more than two years, she still had hope due to the distance and time filter, but she didn't expect that she became even more annoying.

"In our weaving house, she is the top penholder..."

"Oh... so you two met at the weaving institute in your county." Jiang Caibin seemed to have found some evidence, and a cold smile appeared on his fair face.

"What's wrong with Li County Weaving Institute?" Wang Dongdong said dissatisfiedly.

"I don't understand why you would go to such a remote place to find a job. Don't just talk about me. Ask other people. They all think it's unnecessary."

"Besides, isn't that the weaving house that caused the destruction of the entire county?"
