Chapter 8: The Night of the Fallen
Walking on the noisy streets, Chen Yufeng and Liu Qinghan did not speak. Coming and going, people of all working classes together make up a fundamental part of the city, insignificant like ants, but trying to make the most of their contributions!
"You shouldn't have stopped me just now. Chen Yufeng suddenly spoke.
Liu Qinghan raised his head, which had been lowered, and said, "Maybe you may be surprised, because subconsciously I don't want you to have an accident. ”
Chen Yufeng was indeed taken aback, was silent for a while, and said, "Probably your kind heart is doing it, this is normal." …… Okay, sorry for delaying your precious time, I'll go first. ”
After speaking, Chen Yufeng said goodbye to Liu Qinghan, got on the bus and left, rolling up a puff of dust. Liu Qinghan stared at Chen Yufeng's departure direction, and muttered in his mouth: "Bodhi has no tree, and the mirror is not a platform. There was nothing in the first place, where to stir up dust. That being said, it looks like something is in it, and why is that?"
……
Tonight is Chen Yufeng's birthday banquet, because it is Chen Yufeng's first birthday after going down to Shushan, so the entire Chen family attaches great importance to it and invites a lot of celebrities. With such a big fanfare, the purpose is only for one, to let Chen Yufeng come into contact with this high society!
At this time, the Chen family was already full of lights, and there were many world-famous cars parked at the door, so I won't list them all here. When Chen Yufeng arrived, although the sky was already dark, he could still see the magnificence here from a few kilometers away!
"Why are you so pompous?" Chen Yufeng thought with some dissatisfaction.
"Young master, you're finally here, Madame is waiting for you to go in. Seeing Chen Yufeng, the old housekeeper of the Chen family immediately ran over and said.
"Got it, I'll be right over. Chen Yufeng said. After speaking, Chen Yufeng walked inside.
"Feng'er, you're finally back, quick, hurry up and take a shower and change your clothes. Xiao Qinyin was overjoyed when she saw her son coming back, and hurriedly said. However, when he saw the room full of luxury products in the world, Chen Yufeng frowned.
"Do all human beings use their brilliant brains on this soul-corrupting garbage?"
However, no matter how disdainful Chen Yufeng was, he still obeyed his mother's words. After taking a shower, I put on the luxury product of Louis Vuitton. Chen Yufeng looked in the mirror while tidying up his appearance. Women are pleasing to themselves, and this sentence is also appropriate for men. The person in the mirror has a flat complexion, a melancholy expression, a little decadent but noble, and his eyes are not frivolous, but clear and free of impurities. Tall and tall, she looks like the top model of Milan Fashion Week!
"It's time to go. Chen Yufeng walked out of his bedroom and greeted the exclamations of the housekeepers and servants, and Xiao Qinyin was also very pleased. "What a deserving son!"
The banquet hall gathers a lot of celebrities, including government officials, children of rich families, and successful people. They talked to each other and showed off, but they had only one purpose, that is, to tie up with the Chen family. The Chen family has a deep influence in Shanghai, and even in China, and it is beneficial and harmless to make friends with this family.
At this moment, the lights dimmed, Chen Rongguang walked to the guests with a microphone, and said: "Thank you for coming to the birthday banquet of the dog, Chen is very grateful, and now, I will invite my son - Chen Yufeng to play!"
Warm applause remembered that Chen Yufeng walked out slowly, indifferently, not shocked, so that the people present had a feeling of being on the back of a mountain.
"It's him!" A beautiful and moving woman in the crowd couldn't help but be a little surprised when she saw Chen Yufeng appear. And this woman is Chen Yufeng's tablemate, Xia Zhihan!
Xia Zhihan's Xia family is also a well-known family in Shanghai, his grandfather served in the central government, and his father was the mayor of Shanghai! Due to the rapid development of Shanghai in recent years, his father Xia Ruhai has received commendations from his superiors, and I heard that there is also the possibility of promotion.
Chen Yufeng took Chen Rongguang's microphone and said: "In Xia Chen Yufeng, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend Zaixia's birthday banquet, I, Chen Yufeng, am very grateful. I hope you all have a great time tonight. After speaking, Chen Yufeng bowed to everyone, fully reflecting a person's basic quality.
The next activities are regular cake cutting, birthday song singing, etc. After completing these items, Chen Yufeng felt a little exhausted!
"Classmate Chen, I didn't expect you to be a young master!" At this time, Xia Zhihan held a goblet containing Bordeaux red wine in her hand and smiled at Chen Yufeng.
Chen Yufeng was slightly stunned, and then gave the same smile: "Drinking Bordeaux red wine, known as the 'Queen of French Wine', and wearing a Chanel dress, you look like a princess of a European royal family." ”
Xia Zhihan smiled lightly and said, "I didn't expect you to grind your mouth, it really surprised me!"
Indeed, when Chen Yufeng attended his birthday party, he felt that he was gradually moving away from his original indifferent to fame and fortune, and it was only a few days since he went to Shushan!
Chen Yufeng smiled bitterly: "I'm just adapting to the role I play. ”
Xia Zhihan was silent, drank the Bordeaux red wine in her hand, and then said, "Can you give face? Dance with me?"
Chen Yufeng was stunned for a moment, but then said with a smile: "Of course." ”
The two walked to the center of the hall and danced a waltz to the rhythm of the music. Waltz, also known as round dance, is a form of self-entertaining dance, which is the earliest and very vigorous form of self-entertaining dance in ballroom dance.
Holding Xia Zhihan's waist with a big hand, Chen Yufeng couldn't help but think of Song Yu's "Deng's Disciple Lustful Fu": "If you increase one point, it will be too long, and if you subtract one point, it will be too short." The two of them are like golden boys and girls, dancing, like peacocks, blooming with different colors.
"Am I depraved?" Looking at the colorful surroundings, Chen Yufeng thought with some sadness.
Not far away, Xia Zhihan's father, Xia Ruhai, was standing with Chen Rongguang, admiring this wonderful dance. "Zhihan has grown up. Xia Ruhai sighed.
Chen Rongguang drank all the red wine in his hand and said to Xia Ruhai: "Your daughter is really good, our family's stones are about to soften!"
Xia Ruhai has been in the officialdom for a long time, and he is an understanding person, of course he can hear what Chen Rongguang means, and said: "The hero is sad about the beauty? haha!"
But Chen Yufeng was able to dance with Xia Zhihan, a beauty, which still aroused the jealousy of the men present, but because of Chen Yufeng's identity, he still endured it.
"Beauty is in the arms, wine is bright. Chen Yufeng, Chen Yufeng, how many men's hearts have you broken!" In the crowd, a handsome man in bright clothes said abruptly. He is not a local, but came from the capital, although the family is small, but the status is not low, his name is Yan Yifu, a member of the Yan family in the capital.
The dance music was over, and the applause was thunderous. Xia Zhihan may have drunk a lot of wine, her face was a little red, she hooked Chen Yufeng's tie, and said provocatively: "Are you going to go to the opera later?"
"Okay. Chen Yufeng replied without thinking. Chen Yufeng suddenly felt that he was enjoying this kind of noble occasion very much, as if he was born with it, and the original cynicism seemed to be a little bleak.
……
People always want to stick to their hearts, but as everyone knows, some are born to be engraved in the depths of their souls, no matter how excluded, even if time flies, once stimulated by external objects, they will still reappear, which can be understood as the depravity of human nature.
It was hard for Chen Yufeng to imagine that just such an ordinary dance would shake the foundation of his cultivation for nearly ten years! This night may be the night of his own depravity!
