Chapter 39: Dance Partners
When everyone heard Old Man Li say that he also had a granddaughter, they were obviously very interested, while those young people were secretly gearing up and excited. You know, this is a real wealthy girl! Old Man Li's words have been made very clear, after a hundred years, this huge family business will be left to his granddaughter, if he can soak his granddaughter, hehe......
Under the expectation of everyone, the protagonist of this banquet, Miss Li Jie, slowly walked to Mr. Li's side with a trace of shyness that had not faded under everyone's attention, and called in a low voice: "Grandpa!" ”
Li Lao laughed happily, and said with a smile for the old disrespect: "Everyone says, isn't my granddaughter beautiful?" ”
The replies from the people below were surprisingly unanimous: "Beautiful!" There are even some young people who are eager to express their own praise, and the gorgeous words and rich connotations make people have to sigh that the charm of language and culture is really irresistible.
"Hahahaha!" Li Lao smiled proudly, and he was even happier when others praised his granddaughter than he earned 100 million. He turned his head to Li Jie and quipped, "Xiao Jie! You see that everyone praises you so much, you can also say a few words to everyone! ”
Li Jie nodded shyly, I don't know why, the shyness on her face never seemed to fade, and standing by her grandfather's side at this moment also made her much bolder.
Li Jie took the microphone from Li Lao's hand and said in a low voice full of gentle cells: "Thank you grandpa for holding this birthday banquet for me, I am very happy that everyone can come to cheer me, and I am very happy that everyone has given me praise." My name is Li Jie, I am not a good girl, I am very honored to be loved by everyone, I hope everyone can have a good time today. Although the voice is not loud, but a few words are said generously, it seems that Old Man Li has spent a lot of effort on this granddaughter.
The magnetic voice full of women immediately hooked most of the young people present, and the faint shyness of the girl's body revealed the kind of completely unpolluted purity that the girl who grew up in the city did not have, which made the young nobles who were used to seeing beautiful women crazy. Of course, at the same time, she also became a common enemy in the minds of the women present, because she robbed them of all their glory.
It is undeniable that Li Jie is more beautiful now than when she was with Zhao Yi just now, the vulgar dress on her body has faded and replaced with a gorgeous and beautiful new dress, and the braid tied up only with rubber rope has also been made into a simple but not tacky hairstyle at the moment. With a sparkling silver-white diamond ornament around his neck and a tiara of the same color on his head, he looked like a beautiful little swan.
The most rare thing is that there is still no charity powder on her face, and it is completely the healthy and fair skin of the skin itself, which makes those women who are piled up with makeup jealous and vomit blood.
Li Jie is also very troubled at the moment, after her grandfather called her back, she had to change her clothes and wear some diamond jewelry, watching a large group of people circling around her, she felt uncomfortable, and she didn't think it would look good to wear something like a golden hoop on the head of a monkey, and in the end, someone had to put on makeup. Everything else could be reluctantly settled, but she resolutely disagreed with this, she didn't want to let her otherwise clean face become a palette.
Zhao Yi sat far away from the beginning of the banquet, he didn't want to join in the fun, but when he heard that the granddaughter of Old Man Li was also called Li Jie, the red wine in his mouth that he hadn't had time to swallow squirted out, fortunately, there was no one in front of him, otherwise he might have a shrew coming out of nowhere. However, Zhao Yi still has the idea that it is just a coincidence, it just happens to have the same name and surname, and that ordinary girl doesn't look like a wealthy daughter! Thinking too much about yourself.
However, the change in facts is always unexpected, and Zhao Yi was dumbfounded when the real Li Jie came out, isn't this Li Jie just now? Why haven't you seen you for a while, and the change is so big? Of course, Zhao Yi also had to admit that Li Jie was much more beautiful now than just now.
The next charter was relatively simple, and a huge cake was pushed up and pushed in front of Li Jie. Li Jie happily blew out the candles in everyone's birthday song, and the candle flame reflected on Li Jie's face and the brilliant diamond jewelry reflected each other, which was unique.
After the candle was blown out, everyone applauded and congratulated, and for a time the crowd was full of voices, like a noisy market.
Old Man Li's face seemed to bloom a flower, and even the inconspicuous wrinkles seemed to have faded a lot, and he seemed to be more than ten years younger in an instant. Li Lao picked up the microphone and said happily: "My granddaughter has finished blowing the candles, and now she is a twenty-year-old girl, I will no longer control her and restrain her in the future, no matter what she wants to do, grandpa will support her and encourage her." This is what he said to the guests, and it was also to his granddaughter as a grandfather.
Li Jie's eyes were a little red, tears were rolling in her eyes, and she said excitedly: "Grandpa! Thank you. ”
"Huh! Silly girl, what do you say thank you to grandpa! Old Man Li touched her head lovingly.
The next thing is to divide the cake, except for the beginning after Li Jie cut off the largest piece and handed it to Li Lao, the rest was replaced by the waiter and cut and distributed to everyone below. But this cake is also big enough, and the person who cut the cake is definitely a master, one piece per person, no more, no less, just right, even Zhao Yi, who was sitting far away, was divided into a piece and ate it there with relish, and if you don't eat the birthday star's cake, you won't give face.
During the interval between sharing the cake, Li Lao took his granddaughter down to greet familiar or unfamiliar people, while those young people stuck up like flies, showing their talents in front of the old people and beauties. Li Lao is also very happy to see his granddaughter being sought after by everyone, and he held this banquet with a hidden meaning, that is, to find an excellent partner for his granddaughter, so he invited a large number of young rookies this time, hoping that one of them could impress his granddaughter's heart, and he also fulfilled his last wish.
However, it was obvious that although Li Jie had a shy smile on her face all the time, she didn't care much about the sycophants of this group of people, and in the gaps, she was quickly looking for the back. When she saw Zhao Yi, who was sitting there munching on cake and eating cream all over her mouth, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but slip out of a smile.
The young people mistakenly thought that their words had moved Li Jie, so they tried even harder to show themselves.
Old Man Li was also very happy when he saw the smile on his granddaughter's lips, it seems that there are already people in this group of young people who have his granddaughter's fancy! After a while, he would "appear automatically", and the old man thought proudly, happy for his precise arrangement.
After eating the cake, the dance begins.
Today, Li Lao obviously couldn't get along with the emcee, and robbed the emcee's business, Li Lao took the microphone and said with a smile: "The cake is finished, our dance party will begin, let my granddaughter choose a man present to dance the first dance." Come on, music! "Old Li speaks in a youthful manner, not like an old man at all.
When the music sounded, and all the young men puffed up their chests one after another, ready to wait for the call of the beautiful woman, as Li Jie herself, he slowly walked towards Li Lao: "Grandpa, I want to invite you to dance the first dance." ”
"Hahahaha!" Li Lao laughed happily, said hello repeatedly, and turned to smile apologetically at those young men, and quipped: "Young men, don't worry. After speaking, he took his granddaughter into the dance hall.
Those young people who were gearing up turned red, but when they were picked by Li Lao, the ball in their hearts burned even hotter.
Gorgeous lights, melodious music, a pair of men and women on the carpet dancing gracefully, but although their dancing is beautiful, it still can't change their green leaf identity, because the real protagonist is the pair of young and old in the center of the dance floor, although their age gap is large, but it still does not hide their tacit cooperation.
At the end of the song, people returned to their original seats, Li Jie's little face flushed with a healthy flush because of exercise, and it looked like a tempting apple, and those young people were so excited that they couldn't go up and take a bite. However, this apple, they probably don't have the blessing to enjoy.
After a period of rest, the music started again, but everyone didn't move, because they all wanted to see who Old Man Li's granddaughter would choose as a dance partner, and the young people couldn't sit still and rushed forward to invite Li Jie.
Li Jie politely declined one by one, and walked directly to the most remote corner of the stage with everyone's surprised eyes.
Zhao Yi had never felt that he was so unbearable, and the people in the audience suddenly stared at him, making his brain a little unable to turn for a while.
Li Jie walked towards Zhao Yi with the light of the stars like a bright moon: "Brother Zhao Yi, can I ask you to be my dance partner tonight?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Yi was stupid, and those young people were also stupid, and the audience was suddenly quiet and only the music was left with the lonely accompaniment there.
"Brother Zhao Yi, what are you thinking? Will you say yes or not? Li Jie asked dissatisfiedly with a pout.
Oh my! She's being coquettish, she's actually coquettish to this strange young man? Old Man Li shouted wildly in his heart. You must know that her granddaughter grew up in the countryside since she was a child, and she is very uncomfortable after coming to the city.
However, the most surprised people at the venue were Chen Limin and Zhao Yaomin. Chen Limin was surprised that Zhao Yi knew this granddaughter who didn't even know about Old Man Li, and Zhao Yaomin felt familiar from the moment Li Jie came out, and then contacted the name, and finally concluded that it was the shy girl who was holding hands with Zhao Yi just now, what surprised him was that this ordinary-looking girl would be Li Lao's daughter, if Li Lao, an old man who loved his granddaughter like his life, knew the behavior of the shrew just now, he should not drive her out.
In fact, there was no need for Old Man Li to rush, the shrew was dumbfounded the moment she saw Li Jie walking towards Zhao Yi, and fled from the venue in a panic.
