Since she said this, she really was careful in the future. Qiao Qiqiao did not break into Liang's house again, but whenever she went out for social events, no matter what kind of gathering, he was always present. Isla Ge was much colder to him than when they first met. She was always very busy with social events outside; Mrs. Vivienne was willing to let her go because she thought she was an eyesore at home. Mrs. Vivienne was having a hot relationship with Elliot Lu. She knew that Isla Ge and Elliot Lu had some special feelings. She guessed that Isla Ge must have some grudges in her heart, so she hoped that she would leave for a while to avoid Elliot Lu's distraction. Who knew that good things would take time? Mrs. Vivienne's old love Situ Xie suddenly returned to Hong Kong. Although Situ Xie was not young, his temperament was more impetuous than that of a teenager, and he was also suspicious. Mrs. Vivienne did not want to offend her long-time friend for the sake of momentary pleasure, so she pushed Elliot Lu aside and concentrated on dealing with Situ Xie. As they walked together, Miles Qiao sighed softly and said, "I really deserve to be beaten! How come I didn't know there was someone like you in Hong Kong?" Isla Ge said, "You haven't been here much since I moved in with my aunt. I don't go out often. Otherwise, there would be no reason for me not to know you. I know you are very active outside." Qiao Qiqiao said, "I almost missed this opportunity. Really, you can't imagine how coincidental this is! Maybe we were born in two centuries, maybe we were born in the same century, but you were born twenty years earlier than me. Ten years is bad enough. If I was born twenty years earlier than you, it might not matter. I think I won't be too annoying when I'm old. What do you think?" Isla Ge smiled and said, "It's nonsense to talk about it."
She looked at him again, trying to imagine what he would look like when he was old. He looked even paler than Stella Zhou, and even his lips were pale, like a plaster statue. Under those dark eyebrows and eyelashes, his eyes were like early rice fields blown by the wind, sometimes revealing the green light of water under the rice, flashing, and then darkening again. He was tall and well-proportioned, but his clothes were so fitting and casual that people forgot the existence of his body. Compared with him, Elliot Lu looked much rougher and stupider. Isla Ge hated Mrs. Vivienne because of Elliot Lu. Qiao Qiqiao was the only person she knew who could resist the magic of Mrs. Vivienne. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but have a better impression of Qiao Qiqiao. Miles Qiao learned that she was from Shanghai, so she asked, "Do you like Shanghai or Hong Kong?" Isla Ge said, "Hong Kong has the better scenery. Hong Kong is famous for its coast. If I could swim, I would probably like Hong Kong more." Miles Qiao said, "I'll teach you slowly - if you're willing." She also said, "You speak English very well." Isla Ge said, "How could that be true? A year ago, I never spoke English outside of the school classroom. Recently, I just started to speak a few words with my aunt's friends; and the grammar was all wrong." Miles Qiao said, "You're not used to it, and you must be a little tired, right? Let's not speak English." Isla Ge said, "Then what should we talk about? You don't understand Shanghainese, and my Cantonese is not good either." Miles Qiao said, "Don't say anything. You've been socializing with those boring people for a long time, and it's time to take a break." Isla Ge smiled and said, "What you said makes me feel a little tired." Then she picked a bench and sat down, and Miles Qiao followed suit. After a while, Isla Ge chuckled and said, "Three minutes of silence is like mourning." Miles Qiao said, "Two people sitting together, do we have to talk?" As he spoke, he stretched out his arm and put it on the back of the chair behind Isla Ge. Isla Ge hurriedly said, "Let's talk." Miles Qiao said, "If you must talk, I will speak Portuguese to you." Then he spoke in a low voice. Isla Ge tilted his head, hugged his knees, listened for a while, and smiled, "I don't understand what you are saying. Most likely you are scolding me!" Miles Qiao said softly, "Do you think I am scolding you?" Isla Ge suddenly blushed and lowered her head. Miles Qiao said, "I want to translate it into English and tell you, but I'm afraid I don't have the courage." Isla Ge covered his ears and said, "Who wants to listen?" Then he stood up and walked into the crowd. It was already dark, and the moon had just risen. It was yellow, like a little incense ash on jade satin when embroidering, burning a small piece. Isla Ge turned around and saw Miles Qiao following behind, so she said, "I don't have time to bother with you now, so please don't bother my aunt anymore. Thank you!" Miles Qiao said, "You don't know, I just love to see your aunt panic. She rarely panics. A woman who is too calm and steady is not cute." Isla Ge spat and repeatedly told him not to annoy her aunt. Miles Qiao smiled softly and said, "Your aunt rarely fails, but she failed with me. Today, when she was feeling very proud, she saw me, reminding her of her last failure. No wonder she was angry." Wei Long said, "If you keep talking nonsense, I will get angry too." Miles Qiao said, "If you want me to leave, I will leave. You have to promise me that we will have dinner together tomorrow." Wei Long said, "I can't. You know I can't!" Miles Qiao said, "Do I have to come here to see you? Your aunt doesn't allow me to come here! Today, there are too many people here, and she can't save face. Otherwise, I would have kicked her out long ago." Wei Long bowed her head and said nothing. As she was talking, Mrs. Vivienne and Elliot Lu, each holding a glass of cocktail, came over side by side, splashing and pouring. Both of them were drunk. Mrs. Vivienne saw Isla Ge and said, "Go and get Jijie to play the piano for us. Let's sing a few songs to liven things up before everyone leaves." Isla Ge agreed, and when she looked at Qiao Qiqiao, she had already disappeared. Isla Ge couldn't find Stella Zhou anywhere, so she asked the aunts, who said she was washing her face upstairs. Isla Ge went upstairs and saw that the light was on in her aunt's bathroom. Stella Zhou stood in front of the mirror, using a small square of cotton paper dipped in cleansing cream to wipe off the oil on her face. Isla Ge said, "They asked you to go down and play the piano." Jijie said, "I don't know who's going to show off his golden voice! I don't have the patience to accompany." Isla Ge smiled and said, "No one will sing solo. Let's all sing some popular songs to liven up the atmosphere." Jijie rolled up the tissue paper into a ball, threw it at the mirror, and said, "It's quite lively. Those people all have great voices, and when each of them opens their mouths it's like seven or eight people singing in chorus." Isla Ge chuckled, leaned against the door frame and said, "You're drunk!" Jijie said, "Really? They got me drunk." She drank a few glasses of wine, and her face became even paler, but her eyes were a little red. Isla Ge said, "You seem to know all these people here." Jijie said, "I used to know quite a few students from South China University. Whenever they hold tea dances, dinner dances, or picnics, they always like to invite us sisters to attend. Last year, my sister entered South China University, so naturally we were also a part of it." Isla Ge said, "After you graduate next year, do you plan to go to South China?" Jijie said, "In my opinion, I would like to fly far away to Australia or Honolulu to attend university. I'm bored of staying in Hong Kong." Isla Ge said, "Then Qiao Qiqiao , is he also studying at South China University?" Ji Jie said: "Him! He can be considered an outstanding failure in the Qiao family! Five years ago, he was admitted to South China University, but stopped studying after half a year. Last year, because of my sister Ji Miao, he entered South China University again and caused a lot of gossip. Fortunately, his father disliked him the most among the brothers, otherwise he would have been pissed to death. Isla Ge, you don't know, B@st@ard boys, no matter how good they are, have a gloomy temper and are a bit girlish." Isla Ge swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth and smiled at Ji Jie. Ji Jie said quickly: "Yes! I am a mixed race myself, and I have suffered this. You see, our possible partners are all mixed race boys. Chinese are not okay, because we have received foreign education and cannot mix with pure Chinese. Foreigners are not okay either! Which white people here does not have a strong racial concept? Even if he himself agrees, their society will not agree. Whoever marries an Oriental will have his career ruined. Who is such a romantic fool these days?" Isla Ge didn't expect that she would have a deep conversation with him, and nodded immediately. Biting her fingernails, she smiled and said: "Really! I never thought of this. It turns out that your range of choices is so narrow!" Ji Jie said: "Just for this reason, Jimiao also hopes to leave Hong Kong. The colonial atmosphere here is too strong; if we change to another place, the racial boundaries will not be so strict, right? It doesn't mean that there is no place for us to settle down in the world." As she spoke, the blush on her eyes deepened. Isla Ge said with a smile: "You are really drunk. You are so sad for no reason!" After a pause, she smiled and said: "What happened next?" Jijie didn't understand and asked: "What happened next?" Isla Ge said: "Qiao Qiqiao and your sister." Jijie said: "Oh, you are talking about them. There were so many funny things that happened later! My sister was very angry. You don't know how bad Miles Qiao is. She spread a lot of rumors outside..."Before she could finish her words, Ruby knocked on the door and came in, saying that they were urging her to come back. Ji Jie had no choice but to pack up hastily and go downstairs with Wei Long, talking as they walked. As soon as they appeared in the living room, everyone applauded and forced Wei Long to sing. Wei Long had no choice but to sing "The Moon over Burma". After she finished singing, she stole a glance at Mrs. Vivienne's expression, knowing that Mrs. Vivienne was not sure about Elliot Lu. If she was too prominent and attracted too much attention, she was afraid that she would become suspicious. Therefore, she stubbornly refused to sing anymore. The party was supposed to be afternoon tea, and it ended at 7 or 8 o'clock. Mrs. Vivienne and Isla Ge were so busy taking care of the guests that they didn't eat anything themselves, so they had their meals as usual. Mrs. Vivienne felt guilty about Elliot Lu's matter, so she was doubly close and considerate to Isla Ge. The two of them couldn't think of anything to say for a while, and Mrs. Vivienne only said, "Today's chocolate cake is not well made. Remember to ask the Qiao family to borrow their steward to help for a day in the future. "Isla Ge agreed. Mrs. Vivienne was cutting the cold beef tongue with a knife in her hand, and she just smiled at the beef tongue. After a while, she picked up the water glass to drink water, and laughed at the glass again. When she reached out to take the pepper shaker, it seemed that some memories were touched again, and the smile on the corner of her mouth deepened. Isla Ge sighed secretly and thought: "Women are really pitiful! Men give her a little color, and she is so happy!" Mrs. Vivienne looked up and saw Isla Ge, and suddenly asked with a smile: "What are you laughing at?" Isla Ge was stunned and replied: "When did I laugh?" On the pine cupboard behind Mrs. Vivienne was a large silver shield. It was the medal that Mrs. Vivienne received for donating to the basic fund of the Hong Kong Branch of the Royal Medical Association. It was shiny and could reflect people. When Isla Ge saw her face reflected in the silver shield, she didn't smile, so she quickly straightened her face. Mrs. Vivienne said: "What are you blaming! After all, she is a child. She is so happy when she is invited!" After that, she went to eat her beef with a smile. Tongue. Isla Ge was careless, and the corners of her mouth moved upwards again, and she started to laugh. She frowned and said to herself: "What's wrong with you? You have a reason to be angry, why are you not angry at all? People in ancient times 'dare to be angry but dare not speak', do you dare not even be angry?" But her heart was on Mrs. Vivienne and Elliot Lu, like a dragonfly skimming the water, lightly brushing, and then flying to who knows where. The aunt and niece had this meal, and each of them had invited a guest to accompany them, so there were actually four people at the table, and they didn't feel lonely. After dinner, Isla Ge returned to the bedroom, where Ruby was making the bed, folding a set of moon-white pajamas and spreading them on the pillow. When he saw Isla Ge, he smiled and said: "That Qiao Qiqiao, pays a lot of attention to you!" Isla Ge sneered: "It's really strange, I don't know what kind of person this Qiao is, no one can stand him saying a few more words to me!" Ruby said: "This person... although he is not a big shot, he is not easy to mess with. "Isla Ge shrugged her shoulders: "Who provoked him?" Ruby said: "If you don't provoke him, but he provokes you, isn't it the same?" Isla Ge walked into the bathroom and said: "Okay, okay, you don't need to tell me. Stella Zhou has just reported all his misdeeds. I'm sure you have heard them clearly outside the door." As she spoke, she was about to close the bathroom door. Ruby followed her in and said: "Miss, you don't know, it's okay for him to make trouble outside, but the worst thing is that his father doesn't like him. His mother fell out of favor soon after she got married, so she didn't save any money. He himself refused to learn well, and Sir Qiao Cheng never cared to care about his affairs. Now his father is still alive, he is already very tight and always hungry. When I die in the future, I will leave behind more than 20 Concub!nes, a dozen sons, and even the favorite girl in front of me will not get much of the property. How can it be his turn? He has no skills except playing, and he will suffer in the future!" Isla Ge was silent, staring at Ruby for a long time, then smiled and said, "Don't worry. Although I am stupid, I am not that stupid. "Since she said this, she really was careful in the future.
