People are divided into groups by clusters, different people have different social circles, Li Yan's level of wealthy, most of the people who interact with him are also the same level of characters, and the intersection with his former classmates is gradually decreasing, which is a very normal thing.

However, Li Yan is not like some nouveau riche, after making a fortune, he looks down on people with lower incomes than himself, and he will not deliberately distance himself from his past acquaintances.

On the contrary, in order to eliminate the sense of distance between him and his brothers, he would call Lao Wang from time to time and they would get together and talk about trivial matters.

Lao Wang wants to get married, as a brother, of course, red envelopes are indispensable, Chen Zhijun and Lao Zhang both privately asked Li Yan how much gift money should be more appropriate.

Now they are all working as middle-level managers in the petrochemical industry, and their monthly income is not low.

Li Yan pondered for a while, and unified his opinion with Chen Zhijun and Lao Zhang, everyone wrapped a red envelope of 3,000, and Li Yan himself was also this number.

Although he is a high-income person, Lao Wang and Zhao Xiaolin will definitely not accept the gift money, and it will be more troublesome to return it at that time.

Besides, Li Yan alone gave tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of gifts, so where would Chen Zhijun and Lao Zhang put their face?

Everyone is a college roommate, one gives tens of thousands, and the other two only give three thousand, even if others don't say it, they don't feel comfortable.

Lao Wang's wedding is scheduled for the end of the month, and there is still more than half a month, considering that the cost of the banquet is relatively large, Li Yan proposed to choose a fake taste restaurant to hold a wedding wine, in addition to the cost of ingredients, the rest should be his personal sponsorship.

In this way, a lot of expenses can be saved, and after discussing with Zhao Xiaolin, Lao Wang accepted Li Yan's kindness.

It won't be long before the child will be born, and the family's expenses will increase greatly.

……

On Friday night, Li Yan drove the business Audi to pick up Yin Xiaoya and went with her to Jiangnan Normal University to watch her sister Li Xue's competition.

Yin Xiaoya had never seen Li Yan's family before, and this time she was more or less nervous, and it took more than twenty minutes just to pick out clothes, for fear of leaving a bad impression on Li Xue.

After graduating from college, Yin Xiaoya rented a house near the company, and Li Yan wanted her to move in with her, but she was embarrassed to open it.

In addition, he often has to start live broadcasts at home, and if Yin Xiaoya moves over, it will always be a little inconvenient.

After staying at Jiangnan Normal University for four years, Yin Xiaoya is very familiar with this place, and led Li Yan to find the competition venue quickly.

Li Xue has passed the preliminary round, and this time it is a semi-final, and the top ten will be selected.

The order of appearance is determined by drawing lots, Li Xue is lucky, in the middle position, it is often the middle of the group that often gets a high score.

After waiting for more than half an hour, it was finally Li Xue's turn, and Li Yan immediately cheered up.

Li Xue's appearance is not low, wearing a custom-made skirt, coupled with careful dressing, a goddess fan instantly attracted many pairs of wolf eyes present, causing the ** silk to let out a wolf howl.

"The light snow is beautiful. Yin Xiaoya praised from the bottom of her heart.

Li Yan grinned: "Of course, I don't want to see whose sister it is!"

Yin Xiaoya said with a smile: "You should concentrate the shortcomings of your uncles and aunts, while Xiaoxue is just the opposite, a collection of high-quality genes." ”

Pretending to be angry and glaring at her, Li Yan didn't bother to refute, because he really couldn't find a reason to refute, although he didn't admit it, he had to accept the reality of being disabled.

Li Xue's singing skills are very good, not as good as those music students, but her natural good voice adds a lot of points to her.

Halfway through the song, suddenly a handsomely dressed boy ran up to the stage to offer flowers, and hugged Li Xue, seeing that the corners of Li Yan's eyes jumped, and he secretly scolded this kid in his heart for looking for a beating, and he dared to rub Lao Tzu's sister.

After singing a song, the applause on the scene came like a tide, which shows that Li Xue's popularity is quite high.

This kind of competition is often the five players who announce the score together, and Li Xue is temporarily third with 9.36 points, which is not a big problem to see this trend in the top ten.

After watching Li Xue's game, Li Yan was not interested, but Yin Xiaoya was very interested in watching the whole game.

Sure enough, more than 20 contestants scored a list, Li Xue ranked fifth, and when Li Yan arrived backstage, she had already changed into casual clothes.

Seeing the beauty beside Li Yan, Li Xue's eyes lit up, and she said with a smile: "Brother, this is my sister-in-law, she looks like a fairy daughter, you really have vision!"

Yin Xiaoya's cheeks were slightly red, because Li Xue's title was sweet in her heart, and she took the initiative to stretch out her hand: "Hello Xiaoxue, I'm Yin Xiaoya." ”

"Hello sister-in-law, if my brother dares to bully you in the future, you can tell me, I'll clean him up!" Li Xue said with a smile.

The two shook hands, Li Xue took out her mobile phone and took a photo with Yin Xiaoya.

"Why are you taking pictures?" asked Li Yan.

"Of course, it was sent to my mother, she looked forward to the stars and the moon, and she had long wanted to know what her future daughter-in-law would look like. ”

As soon as she heard that the photo was going to be sent to her future mother-in-law, Yin Xiaoya was a little panicked, cut her hair and said, "It was too casual just now, why don't we take a new one?"

Li Xue waved her hand and said, "It's okay sister-in-law, you are beautiful enough, don't worry too much about the details, I guarantee that my mother and father will give you a full score." ”

In the riverbank villa in Dening County, Zhang Cuilan was watching TV, and when she heard a QQ message reminder, she clicked on it and saw the picture sent by her daughter, and also noted the relationship between Yin Xiaoya and Li Yan.

Before going out today, Yin Xiaoya also put on light makeup, which was comparable to the appearance of a star and better than Li Xue, and Zhang Cuilan was stunned for a while.

"Kid, his father, come and see, this is my son's girlfriend!" Zhang Cuilan hurriedly handed the phone to Li Shang.

After admiring it for a moment, Li Shang said with a sigh in his mouth: "The appearance and temperament are not lost to Xia Mu, no wonder our son chose this girl, but I don't know what the personality is." ”

"Xiao Yan likes it, and his personality must be fine, maybe he is also a child of a big family. Zhang Cuilan's eyes smiled into a line, urging Li Yan to settle things as soon as possible in QQ.

"Brother, my mother asked you to hurry up and get married and give my sister-in-law an explanation. Li Xue said to Li Yan.

The latter had a headache, he really didn't want to get married just after graduation, and said perfunctorily: "Don't worry, don't worry, I'll talk about this after a while, it's too early to talk about marriage." ”

A hint of resentment flashed in Yin Xiaoya's eyes, and she gently twisted Li Yan's arm and said, "Your heart is swaying, are you still thinking about other flowers and plants?"

Li Xue also stared at her brother with suspicious eyes, she came to Funing during the summer vacation of her junior year of high school, and saw several girls who were suspected of being confidantes, except for Xia Mu, who had become a godsister, as well as Wang Shuyan, Bai Suyun, and so on.

Li Yan was a little speechless, and defended: "What kind of mess are you thinking about in your hearts, am I the kind of person who likes to mess with flowers? Now that several companies are in the stage of rapid development, there are many things for me to deal with, but I don't want to be tied up by marriage for the time being." ”

"That's okay, many people get their licenses first and then hold a wedding, I think brother, you have a lot of free time, you won't even have time to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau, right?" Li Xue said seriously.

Li Yan was stunned, he didn't know what to say, his brain quickly turned, and he changed the topic and said, "Don't be in a hurry to talk about me, I haven't asked you yet, who is the man who gave you flowers just now?"

"The head of our class, he brought his classmates over to cheer me on, and the flowers were also pre-arranged. Li Xue's face was not red, and her heart was not beating.

"Offer flowers, why hug, dare you say that kid has no other thoughts?" Li Yan looked at his sister in an interrogating tone.

After all, Li Xue has shallow social experience, and was asked by Li Yan in three or two sentences, lowered his head and said shyly: "You think too much, we are just ordinary classmates......"

Li Yan pouted: "It's still an ordinary classmate, when I'm blind, isn't it, you take a mirror and look at it yourself, it's like an ordinary classmate?"

Yin Xiaoya on the side tugged at Li Yan's sleeve: "Xiaoxue is in college, and it is normal to fall in love, you were ...... in high school at the beginning."

Speaking of this, she immediately remained silent, realizing that she had slipped through her mouth.

"High school??" Li Xue looked at Li Yan, and then at Yin Xiaoya, who was flushed, and said with a smile: "It turns out that my brother and sister-in-law started high school, and they have done a good job of secrecy, no wonder I just felt that my sister-in-law was familiar, and I dare to love you as high school classmates." ”

After Li Yan went to college, the room at home was empty, and Li Xue was responsible for cleaning, and she occasionally picked up some photo albums, including a photo of Li Yan and Yin Xiaoya in high school.

"Ahem, cough, cough ......" coughed a few times, Li Yan said with a straight face: "Brother is not restricting you from falling in love, I'm just worried that you will not do more, and you will be sold by some playboys and help others count the money." ”

Li Xue frowned and muttered, "Look at what you said, it's the same as a human trafficker, and the squad leader is not that kind of person." ”

"It's hard to draw dragons and tigers, and you don't know your heart, in short, you have to observe and observe. Li Yan reminded.

It is difficult for outsiders to intervene in such a matter as feelings, looking at my sister's expression, it seems that she has a certain impression of the squad leader, Li Yan can't directly beat the mandarin ducks, so he can only send someone to investigate in secret.

Li Yan put on the mask prepared in advance, and the three of them walked out of the auditorium of the competition together, and the squad leader and Zhang Yuanyuan and others who laid flowers were already waiting outside, ready to go to the food stall with Li Xue to celebrate her promotion to the top ten.

Walking in front of Zhang Yuanyuan and the others, Li Yan suddenly held Li Xue's hand, looking very intimate, which made Li Xue and Yin Xiaoya feel inexplicable, I don't know what this guy is doing.

Seeing Li Xue's hand being held by a strange man, the squad leader's expression changed slightly, and asked, "Li Xue, I don't know if this is ......?"

Without waiting for Li Xue to speak, Li Yan rushed to the front and said, "I'm Xiaoxue's high school classmate, don't you mind if I go to celebrate with you, right?"

"High school classmates, ......" The class leader glanced at Li Yan's hand and said, "I don't mind, of course I don't mind." ”

Another girl saw the extraordinary-looking Yin Xiaoya and asked, "This beauty looks very eye-catching, and she is also Xiaoxue's high school classmate?"

Yin Xiaoya is three or four years older than Li Xue, and she is said to be a high school classmate, and she is quite happy in her heart, girls like to be said to be younger.

"She's my sister-in-law, not a high school classmate. While Li Xue explained, she pulled out her hand and glanced at Li Yan fiercely.
