Chapter 21: The Banquet Storm
But what I paid attention to and what Cao Yu paid attention to was not the same problem at all, I was thinking about how to get rid of Cao Yu, thinking that there would not be many people at a small banquet, so just a few words of casual talk will pass.
But now this is not the kind of situation I imagined at all, if I follow Cao Yu home, according to his father's identity, I may have to meet someone, not to mention that the club itself is one of the places where high-ranking people often go, in case I am recognized by others, then I ......
There are all kinds of pictures circulating in my mind, and I feel that I am about to collapse, Cao Yu, who is an afterthought, was stunned for a moment when he looked back at me, sat beside me worriedly, and stretched out his hand directly to my forehead, "Lin Luo, are you uncomfortable, why did your face become so pale all of a sudden?" ”
I looked at him with a distant emotion in my heart, but when I saw the concerned face and the eager expression on it, I couldn't say anything anymore, so I had to turn my face away and sigh, "It's okay, but you shouldn't tell me that I went to your house." ”
Cao Yu was stunned for a moment and immediately explained, "Lin Luo, I don't mean anything else, I just want to take you to gradually my parents, they are very good people, even if it is only this time, I cherish ......"
He said that's it, what else can I say, I can only sit quietly on the sofa and wave to him, "You go and get busy with yours, I'll just sit here!" ”
Cao Yu looked at my face hesitantly, I only waved my hand at him, Cao Yu didn't say anything, and really went to the desk to continue to read the documents in his hand.
I could sit still for a few minutes, but after a while I also started to get bored, there was a big bookshelf next to Cao Yu's office, so I walked over to take a look, there were a lot of books in it, and I took out one of them casually.
If you flip through it, it's all little stories, and I like this kind of thing, although it's all gonzo, it's much better than the gossip for the sake of gossip now.
I'm reading quietly here, Cao Yu's office is mainly Qi Guang going in and out, holding documents for a while, holding a phone for a while, Cao Yu doesn't have the gentleness he usually has when he talks to me, but has become serious.
Yu Guang looked over and realized that in fact, this person also had the appearance of scolding Fang Xuan, but he deliberately covered up this side of himself in front of me, trying to make himself look warm.
I silently thought in my heart, in fact, everyone has many faces, but I didn't think about it so much, now it seems that these people are not simple, but I think too one-sidedly.
But think about it, it has nothing to do with me, after all, I don't want to go at all, there are not so many extravagant hopes to come, and there is no gap, so I concentrated on reading the book, and then I found out that it was a Persona of the Ming Dynasty, which had a lot of rumors and anecdotes, and it was still very good.
I don't know how long it took, when I was reading the book and was struggling, I was writing about a noble concubine inside, looking at the guarantee in my hand that had been eaten by mice, and when I was secretly sad, I suddenly heard Cao Yu say, "Lin Luo, it's time for us to go!" ”
There was a trace of amazement in my heart, and when I looked up and saw Cao Yu looking at me with a bright face, I could only smile back, still holding the book in my hand, and raised my arm to him, "Can you lend me this book?" ”
Cao Yu paused obviously, and after glancing at the book in my hand, he turned to laugh, "It's just a book, I like you to take it directly, you can move any book you like here, I don't have anything here, it's just that there are many books, how many you want!" ”
I didn't say much, the book was put in the handbag and walked to Cao Yu's side, followed him downstairs, I was worried that no one would see us, but this is a special elevator, directly to the underground parking lot, no one saw it at all, I was inexplicably relieved.
Because even if my psychological quality is very good, I will still unconsciously become uncomfortable in this kind of life under the sun, especially after painting such makeup.
Qi Guang was already standing on the side of the car, and stepped forward to help me open the door, but Cao Yu shook his head, and he came up to open the door for me, and he was very gentlemanly to block the side with his hand to prevent me from touching my head.
I got in the car and tidied up my skirt, let myself sit down and look more ladylike, how can I be charming and sultry in my daily life, and what kind of dignified and virtuous person I am now, I said in my heart that if this is always the case, in fact, I can be an actor.
Thinking about it, I couldn't help but curl the corners of my mouth, Cao Yu came up and saw that I was smiling happily, and also curled the corners of my mouth, "What makes you so happy?" ”
I shook my head, "It's nothing, it's just that I haven't been so ladylike in years, and suddenly I feel like Cinderella on the phone with a pumpkin carriage!" ”
Cao Yu heard this and looked at me carefully, his face came over, I avoided it intentionally or unintentionally, he didn't get closer, just said with a smile, "You are really beautiful today, I think you will be the most beautiful person in the whole banquet today!" ”
I am noncommittal, although my appearance is still very confident, but after all, I am still a self-aware person, the so-called belly has poetry and books, but I have been in the wind and moon all the year round, trying my best to cover up the smell of wind and dust is already full force, how can it really be glamorous.
It didn't take long to arrive at the villa area, today's family banquet is a real family banquet, prepared at Cao Yu's house, because after all, his father is the director of the Harbin Bureau, although his mother is a company, but it can't be too public, after all, the anti-corruption is very serious now, and it is not safe in other places after all.
After getting out of the car, Qi Guang went to park and I followed Cao Yu to get out of the car, Cao Yu naturally stretched out his arm to me, I glanced at the crook of my arm, but I didn't twist it, although I don't like this kind of physical contact, but after all, I'm here to be a female companion, and it's not good to do nothing!
There are not many people in the villa area, Cao Yu pointed not far away, "That's our house!" ”
I looked in the direction of his finger, and although it looked the same from the outside as it looked inside the villa, it was obviously much more than it looked from here, and I couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Cao Yu sensed that I had to do the same, looked at me and comforted me, "There won't be many people here today, don't worry, most of them are my mother's partners, everyone is looking for a chance to get together, and some are my father's colleagues, there's nothing to worry about!" ”
Hearing him say this, I took a long breath, trying to calm my emotions, and then looked at him and smiled, "Your family looks so big, is it really just you one child?" ”
Cao Yu laughed when he heard me say this, "Of course not, I still have a sister and a foreign husband, and now I immigrated to Canada, and I won't see one or two of them when I come back during the Chinese New Year." ”
I was actually not interested in this, just to relieve my nervousness, so I nodded and smiled and walked into the house, and when I got to the door, I saw two people standing at the door and smiling at the people, and saw Cao Yu calling out very kindly, "Little master!" ”
Cao Yu nodded to them, and I also smiled and nodded and walked in, only to see the two people's faces flash with surprise when they saw me, but they quickly returned to normal.
I took my handbag and looked at the whole room, it looked like a person's home, the whole thing was like a large banquet hall, crystal lamps, pianos, surrounded by self-service tables, the inside of the room was completely European style, every detail was well done, and there were even sculptures on the walls.
The sound of the piano was melodious, and a few servants were sending champagne back and forth in the middle, and I watched these people shuttling and whispered to Cao Yu, "These are all your domestic servants?" ”
Cao Yu chuckled and said in my ear, "How is it possible, they are all invited from a five-star hotel, even if they are entertaining guests at home, they can't be wronged guests, right?" ”
I smiled lightly, and said that this rich family is different, everyone goes to a star-rated hotel to eat and drink to find the atmosphere, and the chef is invited to the house, luxurious and low-key, it's really different!
Just as I was thinking about it, a waiter came over and stretched out his hand to put the tray in front of me, I understood that this was asking me what kind of wine, and I just wanted to reach out to get it, but Cao Yu waved his hand and this person drove away.
I was stunned for a moment and looked at him, but he looked at me warmly, "You can't drink on an empty stomach, isn't there a dessert over there, you eat a little first, otherwise your stomach will be empty, and your body can't stand drinking directly!" ”
I nodded slightly, and said that Cao Yu is always so considerate, and people can't help but move closer to him in their hearts, and just thinking about it, he pulled him to the side, and picked me up a piece of cheese for me, "You eat a little first!" ”
In fact, I'm really hungry, I started putting on makeup since I got up in the morning, and I stayed in Cao Yu's office for so long, I didn't have anything but a cup of coffee, I really felt that my chest was close to my back, so I was not welcome, I took a bite, and felt that the whole person was much better.
Looking at my appearance, Cao Yu couldn't help but laugh, "You look like a starving ghost, it seems like you haven't eaten for many days!" ”
Hearing this, I glared at him fiercely, swallowed this mouthful of cheese and whispered, "It's not that you blame your assistant, it's really dutiful, and I came to your side as quickly as possible, I didn't finish breakfast and lunch, you said I'm hungry!" ”
When Cao Yu heard this, an apologetic look instantly flashed on his face, "If that's the case, I will criticize him when the time comes, and I don't do things through my brain at all!" ”
I hurriedly grabbed him, and said that this Qi Guang would have looked at me unpleasantly, and if I was said to have killed my heart again, I said, "Forget it, it's not a big deal, people are also for your work, seeing that you have been busy all afternoon, I must be afraid that you will not be busy and come back early!" ”
Cao Yu immediately laughed when he heard my words, "Lin Luo, I knew that you were the most understanding, always so kind, it was really lovely!" ”
Seeing that the topic was not for me, I hurriedly pulled back the topic, "This person has been here a lot, as the main family, don't you go to entertain guests?" ”
Cao Yu shrugged his shoulders, "This is just an excuse party, it's mainly my mother's work, I'll go say hello in a while, and casually say a few words about my bureau to take you out to a big meal, and make up for you not eating that day!" ”
"Really? Is that okay? When I heard this, I couldn't help but be happy, I couldn't ask for a hurry to leave such a place, after all, this is to put it bluntly, it's all high society communication, I don't like it, and I'm afraid of meeting acquaintances.
Cao Yu looked around, and then whispered, "Don't worry, as long as I want to, I will definitely be able to leave, but I have to go secretly and don't let others see it!" ”
I looked at the two of us like in the TV series I watched before, and the spies on the street couldn't help but laugh, but Cao Yu said seriously, "You stay here for a while, I'll go over there to say hello, you eat something and press it, I'll be back immediately!" ”
I nodded obediently, there were many kinds of dim sum on this table, and the patterns were complicated, which was more fragrant than the cake shop's question, and my stomach began to roll, obviously I needed to eat.
I'm not welcome, pick up a little at a glance and taste it slowly, it does taste good, and the food is also satisfied, but I try to avoid the eyes of others, and a few passing men saw me a lot of times, but they are all people with status, and I don't think I see any special actions.
Fortunately, I didn't see anyone I knew after sweeping around, and I didn't dare to eat more, after all, this is a banquet, and it is very rude for a person to eat here, and after eating a few bites, I put down the plate, but I can't see Cao Yu's figure if I look for it again.
I couldn't help frowning and said that this person didn't know where he was going, and I didn't dare to walk around for fear that he wouldn't find me when he came back, so I had to stand at the dining table, and there were more and more people in the hall, all in pairs, and I understood why Cao Yu had to pull me over, otherwise it would be very embarrassing to be alone.
The people who came were very natural, everyone was in suits and leather shoes, and it really looked like the kind of socialite communication in Europe, but for me it was like a mango again, but the grass carp didn't come back and I had to stay here.
Suddenly, the crowd gathered in one place, which was the more central location, and I looked over to see that there was a middle-aged couple standing next to Cao Yu, the kind that was well maintained, and it was his parents at a glance.
Soon, Ye Chen and I returned to the venue, at that time Ye Chen's parents were giving a speech on the stage, and I saw Ye Chen's parents up close for the first time
The three standing on the stage are very harmonious, and at first glance, they are all the kind of people who are born to shine, I feel that my decision is correct, and it is really a wise choice not to accept Cao Yu.
Cao Yu's parents on the stage, although they are almost fifty years old, but they are very well maintained, and they only look about forty years old, especially Cao's mother, who looks very elegant and noble, and always has a smile on her kind and gentle face, but that look can't deceive people, I have been crawling in the dust for so long, this look is very clear at a glance,
There is infinite nobility, and the second masters who can naturally be like their eyes are all high-class gentlemen or celebrities, and they are very picky about ordinary people, I didn't listen to what they said, and what I thought in my heart was my own business.
The people above finished talking after a while, Cao Yu kept scanning the people below, and after a while, he saw me standing at the end, everyone talked to the personnel people, he walked straight over, Cao's mother also followed, only to see her come to my side and smile, "I couldn't find you just now, it scared me." ”
But I saw that his mother followed, walked up to me and looked me up and down, and then smiled, "Yu'er, can you bring a friend over and introduce me to me?" ”
