Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1030: Chapter 1031: That’s Hilarious

However, since Little Yi was a staff member at the Capital Art Academy, it was very likely that she had seen him there.

Chiang Xiao didn’t dwell on the matter.

She felt that the atmosphere among the three people over there had already become a bit strange, and if she followed them at this moment, she didn’t know if it would create more chaos.

”What’s the matter, Little Yi? Let’s get going; we’ve got lots of activities planned. I promise to make this birthday unforgettable and enjoyable for you!”

”Brother Zhenxiong, I won’t go, you guys have fun. You can put the bill under my name, consider it my thanks to everyone,” Wang Yi said, biting her lower lip and giving Chen Yin a slightly resentful look.

Today was her birthday, and Chen Yin had forgotten.

Look at others, so thoughtful, much better than him!

Chen Yin grabbed her hand and passed her the thermos he was holding.

”It’s chicken soup, stewed by my mom herself.”

Before Wang Yi could speak, Lee Zhenxiong couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

”Pfft!” It seemed only now did he notice Chen Yin, as he looked at him and laughed derisively.

”Oh, chicken soup stewed by hand? Was it even from a chicken you raised yourself? So thoughtful indeed. This thermos of soup is probably worth ten bucks, right? How classy. Little Yi, the minimum spend for the private dining room we booked is five hundred eighty. Forget the soup, let’s open a bottle of red wine! A bottle costs six hundred, and it tastes great; I got it through a friend from overseas, you can’t find it here. Home-stewed chicken soup, haha.”

Such heavy irony.

Chicken soup worth ten bucks, hilarious. He had never seen a birthday celebrated so modestly, just with a thermos of chicken soup?

It was like treating a beggar!

Chen Yin simply ignored him, his gaze still on Wang Yi.

Wang Yi might have felt that accepting it that way would hurt her pride, as if he hadn’t cajoled her enough, and she was easily appeased. Just like her mom said, if she backed down so easily, even if they ended up together in the future, she would always be the one conceding, and she would end up feeling very aggrieved.

So, she shoved the thermos back at Chen Yin and said spitefully, ”Didn’t you also feed that pretty girl some buns? You might as well send her this chicken soup.”

”Are you sure?” Chen Yin looked at her expressionlessly.

Seeing that he was still so indifferent, without a single word of compromise, not at all coaxing her, Wang Yi raised her voice further, ”I’m sure! I can’t afford this soup!”

Without another word, Chen Yin turned and left, thermos in hand.

Watching his unwavering departure, Wang Yi’s eyes reddened with grievance. Raising her voice, she said, ”Brother Zhenxiong, did you only bring one bottle of red wine tonight? How can one bottle be enough? We’re going to drink our hearts out tonight!”

Lee Zhenxiong was delighted and immediately responded, ”No problem! When we finish the wine, we can switch to vodka! I’m telling you, just let loose a bit, right? You always say I drink too much, but you might like it if you try it. I’ll teach you how to taste wine tonight; I heard there’s a whole set of rules for it.”

Wang Yi didn’t say anything, just kept watching Chen Yin’s departing figure, but Chen Yin never looked back.

At this point, Chiang Xiao felt it was no longer appropriate for her to show up, so she immediately turned away.

All of a sudden, her mind cleared, and she remembered where she had seen Wang Yi before.

Later, Xu Yiqiu also returned to hold an exhibition. After Ye Wanqiu was rejected when she wanted to become her apprentice the following year, suddenly a lot of slanderous remarks about Xu Yiqiu appeared, including vehemently criticizing her work as pandering to Western tastes and betraying her Chinese heritage. Her complicated love life was also dug up, branding her a natural-born *****.
