Chapter 120: The Awkward Dinner Party.
The cute girl in front of her suddenly became a rival in love, and before Tong Ran could think about what kind of mentality she should use to face Chu Yun again, Chu Yun suddenly stopped Tong Ran's arm intimately.
"Look at your expression just now, your expression stiffened all of a sudden, and you are so unhappy? Don't worry, these are the meanings of my aunt and uncle, I never thought of being with Brother Jiajiao. I treat Brother Jiajiao as my own brother. So sister-in-law, don't eat my jealousy, okay?" Chu Yun shook Yi Jiajiao's arm coquettishly, looking naughty.
This kind of rapid change made Tong Ran a little difficult to adapt, and even the management of facial expressions was a little unable to keep up with the rhythm, although he was completely relieved in his heart, he still maintained an embarrassed expression on his face, which looked very ridiculous.
Sure enough, after Chu Yun saw Tong Ran's stupid appearance, she covered her mouth with the back of her hand and twisted her head to the side and laughed.
Seeing this, Tong Ran sighed helplessly, this feeling, how can he always feel like he was being played by Chu Yun? However, this also made Tong Ran gradually understand that Chu Yun is not as introverted and shy as he thought, in fact, she is still a girl who likes jokes very much and is very good at communicating with people.
Tong Ran poked Chu Yun's forehead with his finger: "Please don't scare me so much, I have a bad heart." ”
Chu Yun covered her forehead, looking aggrieved: "I just like you very much, and I want to be friends with you, so I'm just joking with my sister-in-law." ”
When Tong Ran heard Chu Yun's words, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, but after hearing the latter sentence, he hurriedly made a gesture to stop: "Don't call me that, just call me Tong Ran." ”
"Well, my aunt doesn't like me calling you that anyway. Chu Yun lowered her head and muttered quietly.
Although Chu Yun's voice was small, it still reached Tong Ran's ears. Tong Ran could only spread his hands helplessly and asked, "Chu Yun, what do you think is the percentage chance that your aunt can accept me?"
Chu Yun's black and white eyes flickered: "Ten percent?"
Tong Ran patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's much taller than I imagined." ”
Chu Yun was speechless and asked, "What percentage chance did you originally think there was in your heart?"
Tong Ran thought for a moment, waved his finger and muttered, "Almost three percent like this." ”
Tong Ran's pessimistic estimation completely shocked Chu Yun, and Chu Yun's eyes widened in surprise: "Not really, right?"
"Now, you can see how much she doesn't like me. ”
"Actually...... Auntie, she's not like that. There must be some misunderstanding between you. Why don't I go and talk to her......"
"Don't! Don't!" Tong Ran immediately interrupted Chu Yun's words, if he really let Chu Yun run to Mrs. Yi to intercede and say good things for herself, judging by Tong Ran's experience in dealing with Mrs. Yi, she would definitely be regarded as a scheming girl by Mrs. Yi, and maybe she would feel that she had taken advantage of Chu Yun or something.
"Why?" Chu Yun didn't understand why Tong Ran refused, didn't she really want to ease the relationship between herself and her aunt?
Tong Ran couldn't tell Chu Yun clearly for a while, she couldn't say to Chu Yun, your aunt has too many problems, and normal people's communication methods are useless to her, right? So, Tong Ran silently organized the language in her brain and said, "She doesn't like me very much now, so it's my fault in her eyes." Take your time, everyone gets along for a long time, and it will always ease. There is no rush for this time. ”
"Okay. If there's anything I can help with, you must tell me!" Chu Yun seemed to understand, but he still said enthusiastically.
Just when the two were chatting, Steward Cheng came over, and after seeing the two of them together, he hurriedly said, "Young grandma, Miss Chu Yun, it's really good for you to be together." ”
"Uncle Cheng, has something happened?" Seeing Steward Cheng's anxious look, Tong Ranyun hurriedly asked.
"The master has returned, and is about to call you back. ”
"Uncle came back so early today?" Chu Yun was a little surprised.
"The young master and the young grandmother moved back today, so the master came back very early. Steward Cheng said with a smile.
Hearing this, Chu Yun and Tong Ran didn't delay any longer, and went to the living room on the first floor of the bungalow together.
As soon as the two entered the door, they saw a scene in the living room. Yi Chengxiu, Mrs. Yi and Yi Jiajiao were each on the same sofa, and no one was next to anyone. The three of them looked at the two of them after seeing them push the door in.
"Auntie, uncle. Chu Yun obediently greeted Yi Chengxiu and Mrs. Yi, and then trotted all the way to Mrs. Yi and sat down.
Tong Ran also followed to say hello to Yi Chengxiu and Mrs. Yi: "Dad, Mom." ”
Mrs. Yi glanced at Tong Ran without surprise, while Yi Chengxiu nodded lightly, patted her hand on the vacant seat beside her, and motioned for Tong Ran to sit down: "Sit." ”
Tong Ran slowly moved over, wondering where he was going to sit.
Mrs. Yi's side she didn't think about it, just now Yi Chengxiu let herself be by his side, Tong Ran should have sat down, but as soon as she raised her eyes, she saw Yi Jiajiao looking at her with displeasure, those amber eyes looked at her full of anger, and she had a strong aura that you would die if you dared to go over.
Tong Ran thought about it, Yi Jiajiao had to be coaxed, but Yi Chengxiu was not. So he resolutely did it to Yi Chengxiu's side, completely ignoring Yi Jiajiao, whose eyes were about to breathe fire. Tong Ran secretly made a grimace, but he didn't want to look up and see Yi Chengxiu looking at him, so he made the half-made grimace freeze on his face.
But fortunately, Yi Chengxiu quickly looked away, making Tong Ran a little suspicious whether he was just looking at himself just now, or just casually swept away.
After a few people sat down, Yi Chengxiu, as the head of the family, slowly spoke: "Today is a good day, let the kitchen prepare a few more dishes, and the family reunion will always be lively." ”
Mrs. Yi was unhappy from Tong Ran's entry into the door just now, especially when she saw Chu Yun coming in with Tong Ran. She always felt that Tong Ran bullied Chu Yun when she wasn't paying attention, and when she heard Yi Chengxiu's words, she couldn't be interested at all, but said a little perfunctorily: "Whatever you want, anyway, I don't have the right to talk in this house." ”
"Then let's decide, old Cheng......"
"I don't need to prepare so much, I made an appointment with my friend to eat out tonight. Yi Jiajiao suddenly interrupted Yi Chengxiu's words.
Tong Ran turned his head and glared at Yi Jiajiao, what the hell are you talking about, obviously you didn't make an appointment with anyone to go out today, okay!
Yi Jiajiao didn't seem to see Tong Ran's angry gaze, so he directly picked up his coat and walked out: "I'm going to the appointment." ”
Seeing that Yi Jiajiao was about to leave, Tong Ran hurriedly stood up and shouted at Yi Jiajiao: "Wait!
Yi Jiajiao stopped, glared back at Tong Ran, and left without answering Tong Ran's words.
This made Tong Ran dumbfounded, Yi Jiajiao had no intention of calling her to go with her, could it be ...... She was just left behind by Yi Jiajiao?!! can't be a person, right!! recalling the eyes that Yi Jiajiao glared at her before leaving, it made Tong Ran want to cry without tears. Didn't she just sit next to Yi Jiajiao? As for being so careful!
After Tong Ran recovered from the tragedy, he saw Mrs. Yi and Yi Chengxiu looking at him. Chu Yun quietly glanced at Tong Ran and told her to sit down quickly and not to yell.
Oops, some gaffes.
Tong Ran laughed dryly, lowered his head and went back to the sofa.
"It's one less, but dinner is still more hearty. Yi Chengxiu didn't care about Yi Jiajiao's departure halfway, and went upstairs to the study after instructing Steward Cheng.
Mrs. Yi's mood improved slightly, and she obviously saw Yi Jiajiao's attitude towards Tong Ran just now, which made her quite happy. I thought that Tong Ran had used some means to confuse Yi Jiajiao from the southeast and northwest, but now it seems that it is nothing.
"Huh. Mrs. Yi smiled smugly and followed back to the room.
Tong Ran and Chu Yun were once again left in the living room, Chu Yun came to Tong Ran and whispered, "I thought Brother Jia Frame would take you with me......"
He was careful. Tong Ran said angrily.
The kitchen moved quickly, and it didn't take long for the order to go down, and all the meals for tonight were ready.
Tong Ran sat at the dining table, facing Mrs. Yi and Yi Chengxiu, who were speechless, under great pressure.
Mrs. Yi and Yi Chengxiu's dining etiquette is very particular, even if it is in their own home. Chu Yun grew up in the Yi family, and she has long been accustomed to this way of dining, but Tong Ran, facing the table full of delicacies, some don't know how to start.
This dinner is destined to be bad. Tong Ran complained silently in his heart, struggling to cut a piece of steak on the plate with a knife and fork, completely treating the steak as Yi Jia's frame.
Bastard, bastard, unjust, she was left alone to face her!
Tong Ran's heart was broken, cutting steak for a hundred years, and the movements in his hands became bigger and bigger, which attracted the sideways glances of Mrs. Yi and Yi Chengxiu. But she didn't notice it at all. In the end, Chu Yun couldn't stand it anymore, and gently kicked Tong Ran under the table to remind her.
After Tong Ran was reminded by Chu Yun, he found that he was eye-catching again, and he couldn't help but wail in his heart.
However, what surprised her a little was that although Mrs. Yi glared at her fiercely, she didn't say anything excessive to her, and Yi Chengxiu was even more surprised to ask her.
"Not used to eating?"
Faced with Yi Chengxiu's question, Tong Ran was simply flattered, and hurriedly shook his head: "No, it's very rich and delicious." ”
"If you want to stay in the Yi family, you have to get used to some of the habits and rules of the Yi family. Yi Chengxiu continued.
“…… Be. Tong Ran replied in a low voice, and the movements of his hands became more standard and elegant.
"Some people can't become princes even if they wear dragon robes. Mrs. Yi took the last bite elegantly, gently wiping the corners of her mouth with a cloth, "I'm ready, I'm a little tired, I'll go back to the room first." ”
Tong Ran was a little depressed in his heart, and then put down the tableware in his hand: "I have eaten too." ”
"Just eat like that?" Chu Yun asked with some concern.
Tong Ran shook his head at Chu Yun, got up and bent slightly towards Yi Chengxiu: "Dad, I'm going back to the room too." ”
"You go and wait for me in the study, I have something to say to you. Yi Chengxiu said.
Tong Ran had an ominous premonition in his heart, but he could only nod his head.
