Chapter XI
Yunxi didn't move, his eyes stared directly at the thick old tree trunk, and for a long time, a soft light flashed under his eyes: "Don't you think I'm overreacting to the old man's death?" ”
Yunxi glanced at him lightly and slowly lowered his eyes: "I'm not sad about the old man's death, but sad about his love." ”
The most beautiful love she's ever seen, but that's it.
A person can keep such a desperate love alive for so many years, she respects him, and naturally doesn't want his last hard work to be in vain.
Her best love has been ruined by others, but she wants to protect this "ten years" with her own hands.
I don't know who sighed softly, under the old tree, the two of them were silent...... As Grantham was flying out of Beijing, Yunxi received a call from her cousin asking her to join Zhan Wenlan for tomorrow's family gathering.
Yunxi put away Gu Yuxuan's key, said hello to Sister-in-law Li, and then went to the mall. Yunxi counted the days, Sister Lobby's birthday was in the summer, and no one in their family had any important anniversaries, so they couldn't guess the intention of this party for a while. But no matter what this party is for, she is ready to choose a ceramic teacup that is more tasteful than the lobby sister, which is not too expensive, but full of heart.
It stands to reason that it is currently the winter vacation, and Zhan Wenlan should have gone back to Nanjing, but she had only seen the shadow of this person two days ago, so when she called him, Yunxi was not surprised at all when she heard that he was also near this mall. After agreeing on a time and place, she sat in the porcelain shop, leisurely looking at the catalog, while waiting for Zhan Wenlan.
When she finished comparing the porcelain with the camellia logo, made a good choice, and asked the store to package it, Zhan Wenlan happened to step on it.
He wore an elegant blue coat today, and his straight cut made his whole person slender and crisp, and his temperament was superb.
is in the same city, but they haven't seen each other for more than ten days, but neither of them mentioned it, but Zhan Wenlan automatically lifted the tea set, and leisurely accompanied Yunxi all the way to the coffee house at the entrance of the mall.
The two sat down, ordered black coffee, listened to music, relaxed their bodies, and chatted casually. chatted about the trivial things of the recent Chinese New Year, chatted about the cold of this winter, and chatted about the recent box office myth of "Sky Alliance", but did not mention the gambling incident that shocked the Beijing business district at that time. For the first time, Yunxi doubted whether Zhan Wenlan's cultivation was too good or too deep, and she could hardly guess his true feelings from his expression and actions. No wonder his second sister followed him and ate so many rows, but there was no progress at all.
"Tomorrow the lobby sister invites you to her party, if you have time, I hope you can be there."
"Of course, my pleasure." Zhan Wenlan gently picked up the gift box on the table, and said with a slight question on her face: "I don't know what kind of party it is?" ”
"I don't know either," but in her opinion, inviting Zhan Wenlan was just her second sister's idea, and the eldest sister was just pushing the boat along the river to do a personal favor, but she naturally wouldn't say this in front of him.
"What do you think I'm going to give?" Zhan Wenlan looked at Yunxi with a strong smile and avoided his eyes, no matter what the situation, Leng Yunxi seemed to be calm and self-controlled, even if he kissed her at the beginning, he did not show a trace of shyness and delicateness, and today he would subconsciously avoid his eyes, is it because of this banquet, or for other reasons, he suddenly has some expectations.
"Anyway, we'll be together when we go, let's give this gift together, you don't have to prepare." She didn't know why Sister Lobby held such a party, and how to guide him on gift-giving cheats?
"So, this is what we sent 'together'?" The man raised his eyebrows, and the evil smile in his smiling eyes almost made his whole face suddenly become evil. Especially when it comes to the word "together", it is particularly obvious.
Yunxi waved his hand, not knowing how to answer, why did this person suddenly open his mind and not take the gentleman's route?
"You'll pick me up tomorrow." After speaking, he took his bag and left directly.
Zhan Wenlan looked at the gift box left on the table, smiled slightly, the sunlight shone faintly on his face, and for a while, the men and women in the coffee room were a little stunned, until someone left with the box, and slowly came back to his senses.
"Oh my God, this guy is so handsome...... aren't he?" I don't know which girl suddenly said what was in her heart, but the man sitting opposite her had a cold face, but he didn't say anything.
Such a man is indeed speechless.
The next day, when Yunxi and Zhan Wenlan arrived at her cousin's house together, they had to say that they were a little dazzled by this almost extravagant battle.
Although it is still in the first lunar month, this room full of roses flown in, and the room decorated with crystal everywhere, makes people almost suspect that they have entered a fairy tale kingdom all of a sudden.
Leng Yuqiu saw the two of them almost the moment they came in, walked up to them, and beckoned the two of them to sit casually, "Eldest sister, what happy event do you have today?" Yunxi handed over the gift in her hand, and glanced around strangely, all of them were young men and women, well-dressed and extraordinary, if she didn't know that her eldest sister was also a high-level intellectual, she would have suspected that this was a blind date banquet in disguise.
Leng Yuqiu lost a mysterious look, took the gift, and handed it to the housekeeper: "You'll know in a while." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, Leng Qiaoshu walked over. Today is obviously a grand dress, the silk dress is lazily put on a thread shirt, elegant and atmospheric, it is indeed a high-quality beauty.
"Wen Lan, I haven't seen you for a long time, where have you been?" Leng Qiaoshu's voice had a low closeness, if people who didn't know heard her tone, they would definitely think that Zhan Wenlan and her had an adulterous affair.
"I went to England." Zhan Gongzi is a well-known son, such as jade, and his demeanor and elegance are naturally self-evident, of course, this is in his normal state, at the moment, he is in a good mood, and for Yunxi's second sister, the patience value has also improved a lot.
Seeing that he was in a good mood, Leng Qiaoshu relaxed suddenly, no matter how she asked him to ask him some time ago, she had been eating behind closed doors some time ago, now such a good opportunity, how could she let it go, and now she got a little closer and asked, "Britain?" It's not fun to go to the UK at this time, where do you go to do business? ”
Leng Yuqiu smiled and looked at his two younger sisters standing on both sides of Zhan Wenlan, just visually, it was a kind of enjoyment.
The second cousin had some calculations in her heart, she was very clear, and she didn't stand here to destroy the rare opportunity of others, so she pulled Yunxi and walked inside: "Come on, come on, I'll introduce you to a few people." ”
Yunxi glanced at the three men in front of him strangely, all of them were in their twenties and thirties, they were all young talents, and they all looked good, Yunxi couldn't help but look at her eldest sister, could this really be a blind date for her?
"What do you think!" Unable to withstand Yunxi's suggestive eyes, Leng Yuqiu patted her on the shoulder: "These are all friends I met when I was studying abroad, just introduce you to each other, you can't just have that group of friends in school forever." ”
It turned out to help her broaden her social circle.
Yunxi knows that in the case of the Leng family, although the old man has retired, the foundation is still there. People in the circle are like this, people with similar status and status, it doesn't hurt to know more, sometimes one more network is one more way out. Come to think of it, the people who can be invited to the banquet today naturally have a lot of backers behind them. Merely......
Yunxi looked up at the light gauze curtain that was not satisfied with the petal decoration, and couldn't help sighing, just this scene, how can it not look like a normal entertainment party.
Before she could sigh, Leng Xiao had already unknowingly suddenly handed over a glass of champagne.
Yunxi glanced at him in surprise, and rarely praised him: "You are really handsome today." "Actually, it's almost like he's a.
The whole type of man is still a huge rich man. Naked in haute couture, I am afraid that it can be worth ten years of consumption by ordinary people.
"I guess you still don't know what our lobby sister has in mind." When the three of them saw the grandson of the Leng family coming over, they obviously had something to talk about with Yunxi, so they said hello and went in the other direction. Leng Xun leaned on Yunxi's ear and whispered Guanzi: "Guess what's this party today?" ”
Yunxi glanced around, there was no shortage of handsome and beautiful foreign men and women, and fell into a cloud: "What is the eldest sister going to do?" ”
"I sue you," Leng blinked, lowered his body, and whispered in her ear.
"No, it won't." Yunxi's eyes widened in disbelief, showing a rare expression that was not calm, and he looked completely stunned.
"There's no way, she's been at ease abroad for so long, it's a matter of time, if you don't take advantage of the time when the uncle still gives her her independent choice, how can she have a chance to speak?" Leng Wei couldn't help but gloat. Don't look at himself in the city, he is famous for his lack of heart, but compared to this lobby sister, he can be regarded as a good person in terms of advance and retreat.
This lobby sister is not an ordinary strong woman, in foreign countries, she has won all her doctorates, but she has never found a boyfriend.
I used to think that she had two boyfriends in China, and she had always been in an unforgettable relationship, but as a result, there was no rumor after returning to China.
Almost everyone in the family thought that this girl either had a sexual problem or was stupid in reading. Some time ago, countless blind dates were arranged at once, and I couldn't wait for it, it was a situation of catching ducks on the shelves.
Fortunately, I ran into a family affair a few years ago. It's quite a coincidence that both of them are gilded in the same university, but the time of studying abroad is different, so they haven't seen each other in school.
Now it's okay, the two sides don't have to pick their family backgrounds, and their looks complement each other, so as not to have too many dreams at night, the uncle directly slapped the board, and the marriage was settled.
Today's organizer gathers friends from both men and women, who are close in age.
