When the two walked into the banquet hall, there was already a party atmosphere inside, bustling and noisy, like a temple fair. More than 30 people were distributed into several piles, some gathered around the song ordering platform, watching Jia Yuanyuan sing, some sat around the sofa and told each other about their previous affairs, and some people sat at the square table and were upgrading...... Li Rui and Yang Peng walked in, like raindrops falling into the river, without any splashes. It is worth mentioning that there are not many female classmates here, counting Jia Yuanyuan and Ding Yijing, there are only three or four.

The two of them first went to the temporary accountant to pay the party expenses, and each person temporarily received 300 yuan, and the excess was refunded and the deficiency was compensated.

Yang Peng has a bit of the hooligan temperament of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, and he can mix with anyone, and when he walked into the banquet hall, many people took the initiative to greet him, and he walked over to talk to them one by one.

Li Rui is a little high-minded by nature, except for four or five good friends who can talk to him, he has an average relationship with other classmates. This walked in, looked around, and found that Li Xinshuo was waving his hand to him, so he walked over to him.

Li Xinshuo's father and Li Rui's father Li Jianmin used to be workers in a factory, so the two have known each other since they were young, and Li Xinshuo has become Li Rui's other friend besides Yang Peng.

The two haven't seen each other for a long time, and after meeting, they talked affectionately for a while, sat down, and chatted while eating melon seeds.

After a while, Li Rui found that Ding Yijing was sitting on a leather sofa near the singing platform, and Li Zhichao was sitting next to her, talking to her with a smile on his face. Ding Yijing also had a smile on her face, and seemed to be able to chat with him very well.

When Li Rui saw this scene, even if he had decided not to think about her anymore, he was still very sad. He is pretentious and high-minded, and he is also a little arrogant in his personality, and he usually attaches great importance to his personal performance in front of everyone, so he never dares to run to Ding Yijing's side to flatter him in front of the public. It's not his style. Therefore, he can only look from afar.

These people in the hall passed the time unorganized for a while, and at about half past six, Li Zhichao ran to the stage, held a microphone and began to speak. It is nothing more than emphasizing the great significance of the class reunion and so on, and then talking about the next arrangement. When he arrived here, he suddenly changed his words and called on all his classmates to warmly welcome Ding Yijing, who came back from the provincial capital to attend the class reunion.

Although the people in the audience were a little puzzled, they still applauded. Ding Yijing was very surprised, and a wry smile appeared on her face.

When Li Zhichao returned to Ding Yijing's side, he had a smug look on his face, as if he had made a great contribution in front of her.

Li Rui saw it in his eyes, and there was nothing else to do except laugh at someone in his heart.

Later, the banquet begins.

More than 30 people, divided into five large tables, each table ranges from six or seven people. Li Zhichao, as the squad leader and organizer, arranged the two beauties Ding Yijing and Jia Yuanyuan into his left and right hand seats. Everyone shouted that it was unfair, but no one could do anything, so it was just a joke.

It can't be said that there is no way, many male compatriots who are jealous of Li Zhichao go to him to toast together. Although Li Zhichao has been in the industrial and commercial sector for many years, and the amount of alcohol has been practiced in the wine field, he is still a lone tiger and a wolf group, and he soon drank high. These people also deliberately played badly, ostensibly allowing Li Zhichao to drink beer or red wine after drinking too much liquor, but in fact, they wanted him to drink wine, so that he would get drunk faster. Poor Li Zhichao knew that everyone meant this, but for the sake of face, he couldn't help but drink.

Yang Peng alone saluted him three times, and when he came back, he whispered to Li Rui: "I'm angry with you." ”

Li Rui could only smile bitterly, looking at Li Zhichao's red-faced, drunken and embarrassed appearance, he was a little relieved and a little pitiful for him.

People, it's not good to be too profound, especially to be strong in front of the public lover, that will make you die even worse.

"The tenon that comes out is rotten first!" Li Rui silently warned himself that he should never be strong.

After eating for more than an hour, Li Zhichao had already been poured out to go to the toilet five times. When he went out again one time, Ding Yijing suddenly got up to leave.

Her actions attracted the attention of many people. Li Rui didn't care about her on the surface, but in fact, his ears kept high to listen to the sound of her talking, and he was very depressed when he heard that she was leaving.

Jia Yuanyuan suddenly called him: "Li Rui, Ding Yijing is leaving, don't you, as her old tablemate, want to have a glass of wine with her?"

Li Rui was surprised and delighted when he heard this, and remembered in his heart that Jia Yuanyuan was very good, and turned around to look over.

Ding Yijing saw him turn around and looked at him as well. The eyes of the two met in the air, and Ding Yijing's expression did not change at all. At this moment, he was heartbroken.

Jia Yuanyuan was still trying her best to match the two, and said to him: "After Ding Yijing transferred to our class, there were only two people at the same table, first you, and then me. I've had a drink with her, and it's not like you don't have a drink with her. ”

Ding Yijing didn't speak after hearing this, it seemed that she had nothing to do.

Li Rui knew that he had to seize this opportunity, otherwise he would really be like an ordinary classmate in Ding Yijing's eyes in the future, so he hurriedly picked up his cup and walked over. When Ding Yijing saw him coming, she also picked up her glass, but there was only half a glass of beer in it.

Jia Yuanyuan was busy pouring her full.

Li Rui looked at Jia Yuanyuan gratefully, and said in his heart that this woman is so good, why is she so good to herself all of a sudden?

Under the attention of everyone, Li Rui and Ding Yijing's wine glasses touched together, the two looked at each other, and were just about to drink the wine in the glass, when someone suddenly shouted at the door: "It's not good, it's not good, everyone come out to help, Yu Zhen let people beat it!"

It was Li Zhichao who shouted. Yu Zhen has always been his best friend, and he just went out with him to relieve himself. Since it came out of his mouth, it was certainly not fake.

As soon as they heard that their classmates had been beaten and that it was the class leader who called for help, people ran out one after another because they could not care about eating and drinking. Whether it's watching the excitement or helping, it's all over in short. All of a sudden, the banquet hall became empty.

Only Li Rui and Ding Yijing remained.

Ding Yijing saw that everyone was going out, including Jia Yuanyuan, so she put the wine glass back on the table, picked up the bag, and asked lukewarmly, "Why don't you go?"

Li Rui saw that she didn't drink, he was furious in his heart, glared at her fiercely, drank the wine in the cup in his hand, slammed it on the table, ignored her, turned around and strode out.

Ding Yijing froze, looked at his empty wine glass, and walked out expressionlessly.

When Li Rui arrived at the scene of the incident, Yu Zhen was being trampled under the feet of a young and healthy flat-headed young man, lying at the door of a private room, with a blue nose and swollen face, and scolding in his mouth, but he couldn't move. And these classmates in the class all surrounded the two of them, and they were passionate, and they all asked the young man to release him. The young man just sneered, didn't speak, and didn't let go.

Suddenly, a male classmate named Zhang Bing, who was good with Yu Zhen, rushed up and picked up his old fist and smashed it into the young man's head. The young man looked at him coldly, motionless, and saw that his fist was about to hit the top of his head, and flew up with a kick.

Before everyone could see his movements clearly, he had already retracted his legs and stepped on Yu Zhen's neck again. When he looked at Zhang Bing again, he had already been kicked two steps backwards and crashed into the crowd. Fortunately, someone helped him, otherwise he would have fallen badly.

Seeing that this young man showed his kung fu, the classmates calmed down a lot, although they were still accusing the young man of bullying, but no one dared to rush up again.

Li Zhichao looked around and shouted: "Everyone go together, rescue Yu Zhen and kill this grandson." ”

No one paid attention to him, Jia Yuanyuan walked out and said to the young man: "Friend, if you have something to say, don't hit people." The young man was very polite to her, and said, "Obviously, he hit me first." ”

Jia Yuanyuan smiled awkwardly.

All the classmates knew that the young man was right, Yu Zhen, Zhang Bing, Li Zhichao and others were all influential figures in the class and even in the school back then, and they fought with people a lot, and even broke people's ribs. This arrogant and domineering character was brought to society by several of them from school. Now that he is thirty years old, he still has to pick up the old fist if he disagrees. It's a pity that today Yu Zhen obviously encountered a hard idea, not the kind of honest person who can be bullied by him, and he finally tasted the bitter fruit of his own brewing.

Jia Yuanyuan said again: "Let's compensate you for him first, you let him go first." Such...... How ugly. The young man said, "You don't have to apologize to me, he didn't hit me." He is molesting our chief's sister and deserves to be beaten. Today, if I don't step on death, I'm going to cheapen him. ”

Li Zhichao was angry and shouted at everyone: "Fuck you are not classmate Yu Zhen? Just now, I was drinking with my buddies and brothers, but now I have all shrunk when I have an accident, and I belong to Wang Ba?"

It's good that he didn't say this, but when he said this, no one went up to help. Many people also blamed him.

Li Rui was late, so he could only stand on the periphery of the crowd, and when he heard Li Zhichao's words, he shook his head with a wry smile. He Li Zhichao was respected as a squad leader, and he really regarded himself as the leader of the big guy, and he dared to shout such things to everyone. Even if he is the leader of everyone and wants to call everyone, he can't shout and scold. This person, at this age, still can't be a man, I really wonder how he got mixed up in officialdom.

Suddenly, someone tapped him on the shoulder. When he looked back, it was Ding Yijing, a little surprised, but also a little disgusted, secretly thinking, just now he refused to even appreciate a glass of wine, what are you provoking Lao Tzu now?

Ding Yijing asked in a low voice, "How is Yu Zhen?" Li Rui said, "Let people step on it." Ding Yijing was surprised, lightly opened her lips, and said, "Why?" Li Rui said in a low voice: "It seems that he is molesting women, and he is beating people......" Ding Yijing frowned and said: "Who is Li Zhichao angry at?" Li Rui said: "He thinks no one is going up to help." Ding Yijing said, "Yes, why don't you go up to help." No matter how you say it, it's your own person. ”
