Although the auction is over, the dinner is not over. The master of ceremonies invited Ji Guanghong to come up and make a summary speech, and then started the reception.

For most of the businessmen in the venue, attending social events is one of their main jobs, and few will sit in the office all day and commute to work on time. In the minds of many people, the auction in front is just a passing scene, and the reception in the back is the focus, and the night has just begun.

Mo Fan and the others were not interested in this kind of drinking party, stayed for a short time, said hello to some necessary people, and then left.

Coming out of the building, seven people took two cars, four men got into Xu Jingshan's extended version of Rolls-Royce, and three women shared a Maybach, and the two cars followed each other out of the villa.

As soon as Liang Wenbo got in the car, he went to rummage through the wine cabinet, and when he saw that it was empty, he said disdainfully: "Since you don't put anything in it, what else do you want this thing for?"

Xu Jingshan said: "Can you manage it? I haven't said anything about you, which pot can't be opened! I know that the watch was given to me by Xiao Yuan before, and there is so much nonsense!" After speaking, he said to Mo Fan: "Xiao Yuan is my ex-girlfriend, do you say this kid is a cheater?"

Mo Fan suddenly felt concerned and said, "He has always been very pitiful. ”

Zeng Li also nodded and said, "That's true." ”

Liang Wenbo glanced at the two of them and said, "What are you talking about?" and said to Xu Jingshan: "Song Jiaying doesn't know what is going on between you and Yuan Qingqing. Besides, when you take out the watch for auction, don't you just want to show your heart? I'm going to tease you a couple of times to make her understand that you've let go of the past and are starting a new life, how much for your sake! Didn't you see that Xiao Song has been very happy tonight?"

Xu Jingshan scolded with a smile: "Why are you so shameless, she is happy because I gave her a gift, what does it have to do with you? I really regret not putting a few bottles of wine in the car, otherwise I would have splashed you in the face." ”

Liang Wenbo shook his head and said, "You call the dog bite Lu Dongbin." ”

Xu Jingshan said: "Then you call the dog to take the mouse." I heard that you have another girlfriend, so let's use it for yourself. ”

Liang Wenbo was surprised: "How do you know?" After speaking, he looked at Mo Fan.

Mo Fan shrugged his shoulders and said, "What do you think I'm doing?"

Liang Wenbo asked Xu Jingshan again: "Did Ji Xiaoying tell you?"

Xu Jingshan snorted and said, "I heard that someone is going to take a new girlfriend to the island for a vacation, but why didn't he go?"

Liang Wenbo pursed his lips and said, "You are really idle enough, you even pay attention to this kind of thing." ”

Xu Jingshan said: "I will pay attention to interesting things. For example, tonight, Ah Xi is actually interested in diamonds, which is really strange!"

Liang Wenbo said: "She has done a lot of strange things since she was a child, what is this?"

Zeng Li said: "This is different. ”

Liang Wenbo said: "What's the difference?"

Zeng Li said: "Sister Ah will never change her preferences or views on a static thing. ”

He said this more slowly, as if he was organizing the language as he spoke, in order to make his words more rigorous, and at the same time to give the listener time to think.

The so-called static thing can be a dead thing, such as a ring, necklace, moonlight treasure box, or an activity, such as playing poker, chess, falling in love, etc., or an animal like a peacock, or an immutable person.

Xu Jingshan thought for a while and said, "It seems to be the case." ”

Liang Wenbo said: "What is it? She used to be a picky eater, but then she stopped picky, doesn't that count?"

Zeng Li said: "That's because Sister Ah was sick once, and she knows that picky eating is not good for her health, and there is a reason for this." ”

Liang Wenbo said: "Anyway, let's forget it! The first time you saw her eat carrots, celery, fat slices, and other things, weren't you so surprised that her eyeballs were about to fall out?"

Xu Jingshan said: "Oh, it makes sense. This is the case that the external cause does not change, but the internal cause changes. ”

Zeng Li nodded, expressing his approval of Xu Jingshan's statement.

Mo Fan was a little speechless when he saw the three of them talking about Lin Ruoxi with great interest. Maybe it's because he hasn't known Lin Ruoxi for a long time, so he didn't touch so much. But from the reactions of these three people, it can be seen how Lin Ruoxi photographed the diamond ring made them feel incredible.

Zeng Li asked Liang Wenbo: "What about the reason this time?"

Liang Wenbo said: "Who knows, maybe she suddenly found out that she was a woman." ”

Xu Jingshan smiled dumbly and said, "It makes sense, it makes sense!"

Liang Wenbo was talking nonsense, but when he saw that Xu Jingshan actually echoed it, he couldn't help but sneer: "Are you still serious?"

Zeng Li glanced at Xu Jingshan, although he didn't speak, he looked disapproving.

Mo Fan saw the reaction of these two guys, and secretly laughed in his heart.

Xu Jingshan said: "I think it makes sense. According to what you just said, the diamond has not changed, which is called the constancy of the external cause, and it must be the change of the internal cause. And isn't what Abo is talking about the internal cause, although it seems a little absurd, but if there is no more reasonable explanation, the only explanation may be the real reason. Mo Fan, what do you say?"

Mo Fan smiled and said, "Theoretically correct. ”

Liang Wenbo and Zeng Li looked at each other, thinking in their hearts, is this really the case? How can anyone live for more than 20 years before suddenly discovering that she is a woman!

Liang Wenbo suddenly thought, isn't it impossible! What is a woman? Talking about a boyfriend, marrying a husband and having children, is it nothing more than that! Thinking in his heart, he couldn't help but glance at Mo Fan.

Zeng Li said: "I knew that Sister Ah would like it, so I didn't take it out for auction and gave it to her directly." ”

Liang Wenbo sneered: "Is the ring given indiscriminately? Do you have common sense!"

Zeng Li glanced at him and said, "You can take the diamond off, stupid!"

Liang Wenbo said: "What if she just wants a ring?"

Mo Fan said: "Actually, that ring is quite suitable for her." ”

Liang Wenbo said: "Really, why do I feel that it doesn't match her temperament at all!"

Zeng Li nodded and said, "If it's a blue diamond, it's better, although it's not as expensive as a red diamond." ”

Mo Fan smiled and said, "It's because she's too cold, so she needs a little heat." ”

Xu Jingshan smiled: "It makes sense!"

……

……

This pointless argument ended when the two cars drove into Zeng Li's house.

Zeng Li invited everyone to his piano room, which was completely his own space, and only people close to him would bring it in. Although Mo Fan is just a new acquaintance, since he is Lin Ruoxi's friend, of course he is his own person.

Entering the room, Mo Fan had the feeling of walking into a musical instrument exhibition hall. The room was so spacious that the large grand piano in the middle of the room didn't seem so bloated. On each side of the room is a large cabinet against the wall, one cabinet is placed with various oriental instruments, and the other cabinet is placed with Western instruments, which are basically common Eastern and Western orchestral instruments. Some relatively large musical instruments, such as harps and guzhengs, are placed on the ground like pianos.

Everyone sat down, and Liang Wenbo said, "Your collection seems to have more." ”

Zeng Li said: "There are no collectibles here, I have studied every instrument. ”

Liang Wenbo smiled: "Then play a harp for everyone to listen." ”

Zeng Li glanced at him and said, "The top harp players are mostly men. You have really studied with your aunt for so long in vain, and your level is not good, and your knowledge is so short-sighted. ”

Liang Wenbo slapped the table angrily and said, "Bring the wine, see if I don't drink you to death today!"

Zeng Li said: "I hope your alcohol consumption has not regressed." ”

These two are competitive, and others are just watching the excitement.

Mo Fan heard Zeng Li say that he had studied every musical instrument here, and he couldn't help but admire it very much. If you dare to say such a thing, you should at least have reached a considerable level of performance. In front of Lin Ruoxi, an expert and idol, it is impossible for him to brag. I don't know how many musical instruments Lin Ruoxi can play here?

Thinking like this, he looked towards Lin Ruoxi. Lin Ruoxi sat on the single sofa next to him, holding his chin with one hand, his eyes drooping, and he didn't know whether he was contemplating or resting.

After a while, drinks and food were brought in. Zeng Li picked up the wine container and poured wine for everyone, smelling the aroma of wine with spices, Xu Jingshan's eyes lit up suddenly.

"Please!" Zeng Li said, raising his glass.

Liang Wenbo picked up the cup and shook it, smacked his lips after taking a sip, and said, "It's so fruity, what kind of wine is this?"

Zeng Li glanced at him, as if he was disdainful, but also a little proud, and said, "You haven't drunk wine." ”

Liang Wenbo pouted and said, "I haven't drunk too much wine, what can this be?"

Zeng Li ignored him anymore, shook his glass and sniffed the wine, but his attention was on Xu Jingshan and Mo Fan.

After Xu Jingshan took a sip, his face showed surprise. Mo Fan took a sip and couldn't help but be a little intoxicated.

Liang Wenbo asked Mo Fan: "Have you ever drunk this wine?"

Mo Fan shook his head and said, "If I remember correctly, only about 600 bottles of this wine were produced back then, and those that can be preserved until now are a few people who are willing to drink it, and they will be content if they can taste it." ”

Xu Jingshan also sighed: "Yes, it is a natural disaster and a military rebellion, this is the last swan song of the old vine." ”

Liang Wenbo also understood when he heard what these two people said, and suddenly said: "It turned out to be Romani Kandi produced in 1945." ”

Zeng Li said: "Finally, you still have some knowledge. ”

Liang Wenbo took another sip and said, "Okay, if you get such a bottle of wine, you are indeed qualified." ”

Dong Weiwei and Song Jiaying were not interested in drinking, but when they heard that it was such a rare treasure, they also picked up the cup and took a sip. Lin Ruoxi sat still and didn't move, Zeng Li said, "Sister, you drink too!"

Mo Fan said: "Yes, don't be a thinker, since you're here, relax yourself." As he spoke, he picked up Lin Ruoxi's cup, brought it to her and shook her wrist, and a drop of wine beads jumped out of the rim of the cup and fell back, making a soft sound of water droplets.

Lin Ruoxi said "thank you", took the cup and took a sip.

Zeng Li saw it, his eyes were a little straight, and he asked Liang Wenbo softly: "Sister and Brother Mo ...... you?"

Liang Wenbo interrupted: "I don't know anything, don't come to ask me." ”

In fact, Mo Fan served a cup for Lin Ruoxi, which was just a very ordinary move, but in Zeng Li's opinion, it was unusual. If it were a different man, Lin Ruoxi would never take the wine glass from the other party's hand. Zeng Li already knew about Mo Fan's physiotherapy for Lin's mother, but he felt that this could not be a reason.

He thought for a moment and asked, "Have they done this before?"

Liang Wenbo said: "You haven't drunk much, why is there so much nonsense? It's okay to just look at it and not ask? Hey, don't you stare at it! When did your IQ get so low?"

Zeng Li looked at Liang Wenbo and couldn't help but think of what he said in the car before. Did Sister really suddenly realize that she was a woman?

……

……

Although everyone drank slowly, a bottle of wine for seven people was still at the bottom quickly. Then Zeng Li sent two bottles of 77 years old, and said that this tube was enough.

Everyone chatted while drinking, and as the wine grew stronger, the atmosphere became warmer. Liang Wenbo had to listen to Zeng Li play the harp, Zeng Li asked him to drink three cups in a row, and then he really played a song.

Xu Jingshan looked at the two of them and shook his head, and said to Mo Fan: "It's really a waste of good wine, let's drink it." ”

Mo Fan said: "If I drink again, I will be drunk." ”

Xu Jingshan said: "What if you're drunk, anyway, you don't have anything to do at night." ”

Mo Fan was actually quite sober, and he felt that his alcohol consumption seemed to have improved a lot, so he drank with Xu Jingshan again.

On the other side, Zeng Li asked Liang Wenbo to play the piano, and Liang Wenbo said, I will play if you drink three cups. Zeng Li drank three cups without saying a word, and then looked at Liang Wenbo with his eyes.

Liang Wenbo was already six or seven minutes drunk at this time, where would he pretend to be cowardly, strode to the piano and sat up. When Dong Weiwei saw it, he also went over to have fun. Although Liang Wenbo's talent in this area is mediocre, he has studied hard with Mother Lin, and at least he can play the tune.

Lin Ruoxi frowned when she heard Liang Wenbo playing the piano, but she didn't say anything.

When Mo Fan saw it, he said, "You don't think he's at a good level, you might as well play a song for everyone." ”

Lin Ruoxi said: "With his talent, this level is fine." Indulgence in alcohol is not good. ”

Mo Fan said: "Indulge occasionally, as long as you don't do bad things, what's the matter?"

Lin Ruoxi said: "I didn't blame him, I just said that this is not good." ”

Mo Fan thought to himself, don't agree, don't object, this is not bad, right?

Xu Jingshan saw Mo Fan and Lin Ruoxi chatting, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said to Song Jiaying: "Let's visit Xiao Zeng's musical instrument." Song Jiaying nodded with a smile and walked to the far cabinet with Xu Jingshan.

Mo Fan saw that Song Jiaying had already put on the diamond necklace that Xu Jingshan bought at the auction, so he asked Lin Ruoxi: "What about the ring you auctioned, why don't you wear it?"

Lin Ruoxi said: "I never wear jewelry. ”

Mo Fan smiled: "Then what do you buy it for, collect it and wait for appreciation?"

Lin Ruoxi said: "I'm going to give it to you." ”

Mo Fan just picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and when he heard the words, he was immediately choked, and hurriedly put down the wine glass and coughed repeatedly, causing people in the distance to look this way, but no one came to ask. When he finally calmed down and said, "What are you kidding?"

Lin Ruoxi said: "I don't like jokes the most, you seem to know." ”

Mo Fan was stunned, and immediately understood what Lin Ruoxi meant, this was to use that diamond ring to repay him for Lin's mother's physiotherapy. After thinking about it clearly, I couldn't help but be very displeased, and said, "Are you finished? Didn't I tell you that you don't need it?"

Lin Ruoxi said: "I think it is necessary. ”

Mo Fan said: "I still told your father that you and Liang Wenbo have thanked me, which is enough." Do you feel that you are rich in wealth, and if you don't give me a little charity, you won't be able to show your superiority? Then let me tell you like this, even if you owe favors, it is also a matter between me and Liang Wenbo, and you don't need to pay it back!"

He will have at least five or six points of alcohol, and there is some emotion in his words, also because he is faintly disappointed in his heart, he feels that Lin Ruoxi should not be such a person.

Lin Ruoxi still said very indifferently: "I do have a sense of superiority when facing many people, but I will not have it for you." You are mistaken. ”

To be able to get Lin Ruoxi's words should be a high praise. Mo Fan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, shook his head with a smile, and said, "Thank you for being able to afford it." But in that case, you should know that when I say no, I don't need it. If you really want to return the favor, pour me a drink, although the role is different, the meaning is not the same, but it is the same thing as what I do, it is all a gesture. ”

Lin Ruoxi groaned for a moment, picked up the wine container, and added some wine to Mo Fan's wine glass. Then she picked up the glass again and shook the wine, which turned out to be a first-class technique. She obviously doesn't drink often, but these little tricks are easy to come by. After shaking the wine, he brought the cup to Mo Fan and said, "Please!"

Xu Jingshan and Song Jiaying were watching Zeng Li's musical instruments, and the other three were chatting in front of the piano, but their attention was on Mo Fan and Lin Ruoxi. Seeing this scene, there were those who were stunned, and there were those who chuckled, but soon they all became like no one, as if they didn't see anything.

Mo Fan took the wine glass in Lin Ruoxi's hand, put it to his mouth and drank it all, and then said, "Okay, your favor has been repaid, don't mention this matter again in the future, OK?"

Lin Ruoxi nodded and said, "I didn't mention it originally." ”

Mo Fan couldn't help but be puzzled, and said, "Then what do you mean by giving me a ring?"

Lin Ruoxi said: "My mother once said that she would give you her violin. I can't give away that instrument, and I hope to replace it with this ring. ”

Mo Fan suddenly laughed and cried, and said, "Does that count? Besides, I didn't ask for it! Well, even if it was a verbal agreement, from a legal point of view, it would be invalid under the circumstances at the time. ”

Lin Ruoxi said: "I will try my best to do what she explains." Didn't you say that you have to use a diamond ring for marriage proposals now, you can give it to Lu Xiaorong, I think she will like it. ”

Mo Fan said: "I can tell you very responsibly, she will definitely not want it." Besides, Auntie said that at the time, in fact, it was also a misunderstanding, you actually took it seriously?"

Lin Ruoxi was silent for a while and said, "She mentioned it again later. ”

Mo Fan said: "This only proves that Auntie is getting better." ”

Lin Ruoxi said: "You accept the ring, and I will explain it to my mother." I don't want to be distracted by this anymore. ”

Mo Fan only felt that the wine was surging, and his head was a little cloudy, and he really didn't want to entangle this issue with Lin Ruoxi anymore, so he said, "Let's talk about it again." ”
