Chapter Ninety-Five: Debut
Yu Jingbo has always been a person who pays attention to appearance and etiquette, although the invitation he received said that he would arrive at 18 o'clock, he still rushed to the door of the crown half an hour early. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ Of course, this is due on the one hand, to his early departure, and on the other hand, to the fact that his high-performance sedan also contributes to it.
Sui Qingliu, who was wearing a long lake-green silk dress, was not as excited as her husband, she just paid close attention to her son's every move. If one looks closely, it is not difficult to see that although her face is lightly powdered, it cannot hide the exhaustion and melancholy that emanates from her body, and she seems to be full of thoughts.
"Mom, this house looks like a palace!" Yu Yi gradually pressed the glass window, looking up excitedly at this mysterious behemoth.
"Yes, this is where the Marquis of Wan Guo lives, and it's really the same as the Imperial Palace. Sui Qingliu echoed his son's words.
Looking through the entrance of the Crown, you can see a main building made of yellow Bass Rock. The main building has five floors, and is topped by an intricately carved gable wall with reliefs all over it, giving it a romantic and classical atmosphere. At this moment, twilight has arrived, and the golden sunset has cast a hazy veil over the crown, like a dream.
Two rows of crescent-shaped corridors surround the main building, and the pillars of the corridor are pasted with large yellow diamonds and other precious jewelry, and from a distance, it looks like countless golden flowers, enthusiastically surrounding the main building of the crown.
In the open space in front of the main building, there is a large octagonal pool in which Poseidon and his wife Amphitrice and their three children: Lot, Triton, and Bencesikumo live. Some of these idols hold tridents, some caress dolphins, and their hair, shoulders, waists, and hands are equipped with delicate and hidden fountain heads.
"Liu Liu, have you found it, the rich people nowadays seem to like golden decorations very much, and the taste of the local tyrants is really not something we can understand, don't you think it's so high-profile and rustic?" Yu Jingbo looked at the traffic queuing in front of him, and pulled out a sarcastic smile: "I thought I was early enough, but I didn't expect that there were more people earlier than me." β
"I'm probably afraid of traffic jams on the road. Sui Qingliu comforted her husband, "I don't think Hou Ye likes to be high-profile, maybe he bought a house like this." β
Yu Jingbo said disapprenously: "You really don't care about our rich friend. After he bought the land, he worked non-stop to renovate it, and during this period, some people reported that he was working at night. Probably the money was sent to the place, and no one complained anymore. He sneered, "I guess those people wish he had been working for a little longer." β
At this time, the car in front of him slid a few steps forward. Yu Jingbo drove slowly, sighed, and continued, "This Wanguo Hou is too high-profile, I don't know if I will be unlucky in the future." He pouted, "Willow, do you know? The Bass Rock on the faΓ§ade of his house is said to have been brought from Scotland. β
"Why doesn't he use domestic stones?" asked Sui Qingliu in surprise.
"I don't know. I guess I want to show off. Yu Jingbo pursed his lips, "I don't know where he got so much money, if it doesn't work, in the end, the freight will be more expensive than the stone, hey." β
"Mom, look, look. Yu Yijian suddenly shouted, pointing not far away.
Sui Qingliu looked in the direction his son pointed and saw some crystal bottles placed on the outside of the crescent-shaped corridor. The bottles were more than a man tall and separated from each other by a certain distance, and there were many irregular fine snowflakes floating in them.
"Mom, what's this for?"
Sui Qingliu couldn't answer for a while, so he perfunctorily said to his son: "It should be an ornament." β
"Then can I take one home?" Yu Yiji's eyes lit up.
"No, baby, this is Hou Ye's thing, if you want to take it, you have to ask for his permission. Obedient, I'm here to be a guest today, you are obedient, and my mother will buy you other good things in the future, okay?" Sui Qingliu patiently coaxed his son.
"But I like this so much, what if I can't buy it somewhere else?" Yu Yijian didn't seem to be easy to fool.
Sui Qingliu said softly: "Baby, listen to your mother, your mother won't lie to you, she will definitely buy it for you." β
Yu Yijian still wanted to bargain, Yu Jingbo said impatiently: "Okay, okay, stop the meeting." β
Sui Qingliu silently gave his son a look, and Yu Yijian also closed his mouth very smartly.
Yu Jingbo glared at Yu Yijian viciously from the rearview mirror, "I'm here to be a guest today, you give me honesty, don't make trouble." If you offend a god of wealth like Wan Guohou, you don't want to eat any chocolate cake or anything like that, waiting to starve to death and pull it down. β
Yu Yijian secretly rolled his eyes, obviously, it was not the first time he had heard such a threat from his father.
"Did you hear that?!"
"I hear you. Yu replied in a procrastinating tone, and rolled his eyes again.
And at this moment, in a spacious study in Lujiazui, Wan Guohou was observing the guests queuing at the door from the big TV on the wall with mixed feelings. He stared at the well-dressed elite in their flamboyant cars with a smirk like a fisherman watching tropical fish swimming in a fish tank.
It wasn't until a light blue Maybach appeared at the gate that Wan Guohou's eyes suddenly flashed. He thought for a few seconds, then raised his arm and said to the cufflinks: "Crazy heart, look at the door, it is Yu Jingbo's family who is coming in now." β
"Is it the blue car?"
"Yes. β
A docile voice came from the speaker, "Master Hou, this car is very beautiful." β
Wan Guohou frowned, "You're talking about Maybach?"
"Yes! It's the blue car. β
"Do you like it?" For some reason, Wan Guohou's tone suddenly became gentle, and even the speed of his speech slowed down.
Xie Madness said without hesitation: "I like it!"
"Month Boss. Wan Guohou's tone remained unchanged, but he could feel a trace of anger, "I didn't tell you that I want the best car." β
Yue's voice came from the speaker, and she seemed a little helpless, "Your silver charm is much better than this car." β
"But Madheart prefers Maybach. β
Yue Shuluo hesitated for a moment, "He usually sits in your ...... when he goes to school."
Wan Guohou interrupted her, "Listen, I'll give you a week. A week later, I'm going to see the car when I'm sending Crazy Heart to school. β
Yue Shuluo was stunned for a moment, and didn't seem to understand what Wan Guohou meant, but she only said "yes" solemnly in the end.
Xie Madheart was a little surprised, but he was extremely smart and immediately reacted: "Thank you, Master Hou!"
K1 coughed lightly and reminded Wan Guohou: "Master Hou, you should go, or it will be too late." β
Wan Guohou said lightly: "It's not dark yet, don't worry." β
"My lord, you'd better be early. K1 was in a hurry, "Crazy Heart is also going to meet the guests." β
Wan Guohou tapped his fingers on the table a few times, and then said into the microphone on the cufflinks: "Then, Crazy Heart, you play by yourself." β
Xie Madxin's voice was extremely respectful: "Okay." β
As the sky darkens, the faΓ§ade of the crown is lit up, and the yellow diamonds and yellow sapphires on the pillars are refracted in a gorgeous light.
The bottles near the corridor lit up, and the glow shone through the snowflake-like crystals and then faintly sprinkled in all directions. These deep and shallow golden lights are as brilliant as a tapestry, and like the pearls scattered by the gods on earth, they stretch endlessly, and they are scattered to reflect the whole mansion into a mysterious and secluded stage. And for those who come to the crown for the first time, just passing through that amazingly large golden gate will enter an unimaginable world.
At this moment, in front of the foyer of the main building, there are many guests gathered. Some people don't seem to be in a hurry to visit after entering the main hall, but stop near the foyer. Obviously, the guests were talking about something.
The center of the crowd is a well-dressed family, led by Nan Zeyu in a suit and leather shoes. Standing next to him stood Tao Baihe, who was dressed in a fiery red evening dress, and Nan Zejiao and Tao Wei, who were carefully dressed.
Nan Zeyu's waist was straight, and he tried his best to maintain a relaxed expression, but a drop of sweat oozing from the corner of his forehead revealed the anger and embarrassment in his heart.
"Sir, I'm sorry, this invitation from you was not sent by Master Hou, and we can't let you in. The doorman said politely after reading the invitation for a long time.
"You mean I forged the invitation?" Nan Zeyu snorted coldly, "Do you know who I am?"
In the crowd of onlookers, someone whispered, "Isn't this the South Director?" and another replied, "Yes, you see his wife's dress is so beautiful." β
"Pretty is beautiful, but the collar is too low, and she has no career line to show. Several noblewomen let out a sound laugh.
"I didn't expect Wan Guohou to also invite Director Nan, he doesn't usually participate in these activities. β
"Hehe, it's just a fake Qinggao. β
These words are like a catalyst in a chemical experiment, they can't be stopped, and they are going to make Nan Zeyu crazy.
"I'm sorry, sir, but it is my duty to ascertain the identity of each guest, please understand. The doorman's attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, which made Nan Zeyu feel even more anxious. "You try to talk nonsense again? This invitation was sent by Xie Madxin! Let me ask you, do you have such a person as Xie Madheart?"
"Then you wait a minute, I will invite the young master to come immediately. β
Before the doorman's voice fell, Xie Mad's heart happened to appear at the door of the front hall as if he was telepathic.
"Brother Crazy Heart!" Nan Zejiao saw him with sharp eyes, and immediately shouted, "Come here!"
Xie Madxin walked through the crowd and walked in front of Nan Zeyu. He smiled kindly, "Hello, Director Nan, I'm Xie Crazy Heart, I've heard Jiaojiao mention you many times." You are welcome. β
Nan Zeyu looked at the polite smile on the other party's face, and couldn't wait to punch him. Keeping his anger to himself, he whispered as low as he could, "Oh, then please take us in." As he spoke, he stretched out his left hand and pointed at the doorman, "The threshold of your house is really high, don't let us in." β
Xie Madxin said in surprise: "What's the situation?" He straightened his face and shouted at the doorman: "Are you crazy? This is your uncle's guest, how can you stop at the door like this? It's so unbelievable!"
He criticized the doorman in a loud voice, with an angry look, as if he was about to fire the poor man at any moment.
The doorman was a little cramped, and the eyes of the onlookers were like sharp swords across his face, but he still resolutely blocked Nan Zeyu, "I'm sorry, young master." I'm sorry, sir, but I didn't mean to embarrass you. It's just that...... Master Hou has regulations, I have to come according to the regulations. β
"What rules?" Xie Madxin didn't expect that a servant would dare to contradict him like this, and in front of many guests, he couldn't get off the stage for a while. "Don't you want to do it here?" he said, looking at the badge on the guard's red uniform, "Kim Yicheng?" The strange name was very glaring at the moment.
"Young Master. The doorman took the invitation from Nan Zeyu and handed it to Xie Madxin, "Did you send it out?"
Xie Madxin didn't even blink his eyelids, "Don't look at it, I sent it." β
"Young Master, please take a look here. The doorman opened the invitation card and pointed to the conspicuous inscription, "Hou Ye's invitation card contains two parts, one is the signature, and the other is the seal. This gentleman's invitation is only signed, not stamped, so the source of this invitation is unknown. Please forgive me for not letting him in. β
When Nan Zeyu heard this, he was immediately furious, "You still dare to slander me?" He was already holding back the fire in his belly, because his wife, daughter and father-in-law were on the side, and there were onlookers, so it was not easy to lose his temper, but as soon as the doorman said this, he couldn't hold back anymore, and immediately strode forward, grabbed the doorman's collar, and was about to smash it with a punch.
"Wait. A woman's voice rang out. When the doorman saw the visitor, he seemed to be more respectful than when he saw Xie Madxin. He didn't care about his appearance, but quickly put his legs together, and saluted the woman with his head held high, "Mr. Yue." β
The person who came was Yue Shuluo, she smiled and said calmly: "This must be the director of the South Hall, the distinguished guest of the Hou Ye." As she spoke, she had already grabbed Xie Madxin's arm, "Madheart, this is your fault, you are always so anxious, you took the invitation, but you forgot to let the Hou Ye stamp it." β
A hint of surprise flashed in Xie Yanxin's eyes, and before he could refute, a sharp pain suddenly came from his arm. Yue Shuluo quietly pinched him, this time with an unusually hard time, so painful that he almost screamed. He stared at the moon, but the latter was still smiling. I saw her turn sideways slightly, and said a word in Xie Madxin's ear delicately, "Kneel." β
Xie Qiangxin's arm was pinched painfully, and he was already full of anger when he couldn't get off the stage just after being made off the stage by the doorman. Hearing the word Yue Shuluo said at this moment made him even more angry, but before he could react, Yue Shuluo said a few words in his ear.
"For the sake of Master Hou. β
Xie Madxin didn't understand what she meant, but looking at her eyes, there was a little pleading and a little sadness. He looked at Nan Zeyu, who was full of anger, and the onlookers who were waiting to watch the show, and suddenly felt the weight of Yueluo's words.
Yue Shuluo saw through his trick and pointed out his worries.
He sighed inwardly, then bent his knees and knelt down.
