Chapter 344: Has that Young Man Arrived?
“Isn’t today also your birthday?” Huang Xiaolong gave Shu Qinglan a smile.
“Eh” At this, Shu Qinglan’s petite body unexpectedly shivered. Tears quickly ford in her eyes, but she held them back without crying. She gave a self-deprecating smile, “My… my… my birthday doesn’t matter.”
“Little Long…don’t rub salt into her wound,” Song Yuru quickly stopped Huang Xiaolong.
“Oh, oh, oh,” Huang Xiaolong didn’t say anything more.
However, he felt a surge of empathy for Shu Qinglan. Her almost shattered gaze touched a soft spot in Huang Xiaolong’s heart.
Think about it. In a prestigious large family, having a “dwarf” is indeed a huge stain. It will make her endure huge pressures, mockery, ridicule, and even… abandonnt for a lifeti.
Maybe, Shu Qinglan has already been abandoned! After all, today is also her birthday, but the Shu family did not ntion her at all. They only held such a sowhat grand birthday party solely for Shu Qinghan.
The birthday lunch was held on the huge open-air lawn in front of the villa.
It was a buffet style party. Currently, quite a few talented young n were sipping red wine, chatting in small groups.
Among the guests, females were few. Most of them were males, and it was clear that they were all wealthy second-generation rich youths. Quite a few were refined and successful gentlen.
It seems that the birthday party was just a ruse, with the core purpose being — a matchmaking event!
Huang Xiaolong glanced around. Among the guests, he did not recognize anyone. He didn’t see any of the people who appeared at the charity auction dinner of the four major families that day.
The Shu family’s housekeeper and Shu Jie, who was among Binhai’s Four Young Masters, did not attend.
The Lin family, the Gao family, and the Sun family also seed to have no one coming to congratulate.
Shu Qinglan guided Huang Xiaolong and Song Yuru to a quiet corner and smiled. “You two have fun and grab sothing to eat. There’s red wine and champagne over there, as well as liquor. Don’t be shy and help yourselves.”
“Okay, okay, Qinghan, you don’t have to worry about us. We are all good friends of Qinghan, we won’t hold back,” Song Yuru smiled.
At this point, the guests standing on the lawn couldn’t help casting their gazes toward Shu Qinglan. It wasn’t difficult to see the irony and ridicule in their eyes. If it were any other occasion, they probably would have already started gossiping about Shu Qinglan, the “dwarf”.
In Huang Xiaolong’s view, even though they were twins, the facial features of sisters Shu Qinghan and Shu Qinglan were vastly different.
Strictly speaking, in terms of facial features alone, elder sister Shu Qinglan was more outstanding than younger sister Shu Qinghan.
She was refined, extraordinarily elegant, with an aura of lightness. Her skin was delicate, her deanor relaxed, her eyes were clear as if they were a tranquil lake. She had a refined and distinguished deanor when she glanced around.
If this face was accompanied by a good figure, she would be a living goddess. Her charm wouldn’t be inferior to Binhai University’s top-four beauties, and might even have the edge.
However, the tragedy was that she was too short!
Just above 1.4 ters!
Shu Qinghan, who was considered to have a Lolita figure, wasn’t tall either. But at least she was close to 1.6 ters! This was normal height for girls. It was not exceptional, but it was not short either!
Not to ntion Shu Qinghan had a pair of full, well-rounded breasts!
As for Shu Qinglan, she was not only petite but also skinny. Her chest was like a small bun…
Whether viewed from the front or the back, she looked like an elentary school student!
Shu Qinglan sent a few more greetings and then excused herself to join Shu Qinghan outside the villa to welco the guests.
“What a pity…” Huang Xiaolong shook his head slightly.
“Yeah… Little Long, if you only look at her face, Qinglan is really a great beauty.” Song Yuru’s face was filled with regret. Suddenly, she had an idea and grabbed Huang Xiaolong’s hand directly. “Little Long! You… your dical skills are so formidable. Do you have a way to treat Qinglan?”
Song Yuru’s kind-heartedness was reflected in her beautiful eyes, which were filled with hope.
“My dear wife, Qinglan isn’t sick. Her halted growth should be a genetic problem.” Huang Xiaolong gave a smile and couldn’t help patting his canvas bag. The corners of his mouth stretched into a mysterious smile. “Since today is Qinglan’s birthday too and she shares a deep sisterly relationship with Qinghan, I will… give Qinglan a gift as well.”
“Huh? Little Long, you… what gift did you prepare? You didn’t even know that it was Qinglan’s birthday today. What are you planning to give Qinglan?” Song Yuru was confused.
“Of course the most precious gift! A gift that kills everything in its path! Hahahaha~~~~~~” Huang Xiaolong laughed heartily.
At this mont, a middle-aged couple walked out from the main entrance of the villa.
The woman was well-preserved and looked less than 40 years old. She was quite a beauty.
The man looked to be in his early forties, refined, and with great poise.
These two were the parents of Shu Qinghan and Shu Qinglan.
“Today… quite a number of people ca to celebrate Qinghan’s birthday… Many of them are talented young n from Binhai and other provinces.” Mother Shu scanned the guests in the lawn, her face showing a gratified smile. “I hope our Qinghan can find a suitable fiancé.”
“Wife… We seem to have overlooked that today is also Qinglan’s birthday… ah, Qinglan is of marriageable age too.” Father Shu’s face showed a hint of self-reproach. “Ever since she was little, Qinglan has always been sensible, but… her… her condition has resulted in her… receiving exceptional discrimination from the family… When compared to both our daughters, I worry more about Qinglan.”
Mother Shu held Father Shu’s hand as a gesture of comfort, “Dear, I feel the sa way as you do. Because of Qinglan, our in-laws never stopped blaming you… Qinglan has never been allowed to participate in any Shu family banquets… I…I want to choose a fiancé for Qinglan as well… but… it’s so hard. Let’s just tell everyone today… She is still our daughter… Let’s see if any of these talented young n would be willing to love and look after Qinglan forever…”
With that said, Mother Shu’s expression was sorrowful.
“Yeah, let’s give it a try. What if soone likes our Qinglan?” Although he didn’t have much hope, Father Shu decided to roll the dice and try.
At this mont, Father Shu’s and Mother Shu’s gazes simultaneously landed on Huang Xiaolong.
“Huh? That young man also ca?” Father Shu’s eyes lit up slightly.
Father and Mother Shu had also attended the charity auction dinner of the four major families that day. Naturally, they had witnessed Huang Xiaolong’s extraordinary appeal!
“Dear… That young man is called Huang Xiaolong, right? He’s an absurdly talented youth… he stole the spotlight at the banquet that night…” Mother Shu’s eyes sparkled. “Husband, do you think that if our Qinghan…”
“Haha Wife, are you implying that this Huang Xiaolong is our ideal son-in-law?” Father Shu gave a laugh. “Even though this young man saved Qinghan and truly impressed us at the banquet that night, I have so different opinions…”
