Chapter 33: The Dinner
"Hey! Dongyang: What did your grandfather mean by that? I turned my head to look at Xu Dongyang, who had a very bad face behind me, this guy was not white in the first place, but now he is even darker.
He just looked at me like that and it seemed hard to speak, what do you mean? Did I guess correctly, don't be funny: "Hey! What about you? What did your grandfather just say that brought people here, and this time it can't be wrong, did you mean me?? â
We froze like this, I glared at him, and he didn't give any explanation.
Lian Ying patted the armrest on the Taishi's chair: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, don't ask what you shouldn't know, don't pursue what you shouldn't know, you still think you have less things on you!" â
I thought about what he said, and it seemed to make sense, being a fool is often a happy life. Thinking back to Pan Zhen because of my injury, he blamed himself and tortured himself for so long, and in the end, he couldn't help or help, and he couldn't even say thank you in person.
"Well~~ Then I won't ask again, Lianying... Can you take me to say a word to Zhen?"
Lianying stared at me, and the air in the room seemed to have condensed.
"I want to tell him, thank you. Oh, by the way, and Yue Li, thank you to her for helping me so many times, if it weren't for everyone, I might not really be anymore..."
Lian Ying shook his head and sighed: "Zhang Yao, you live well, your life is not easy to come by, and we people will not appear in your life in the future, this is also what Zhen fought for you in the end, but I hope you can understand that there are always people who have to bear the consequences for all this." â
Before I could analyze the meaning of his words, the door of the back room opened, and Grandpa Xu walked out with a file bag.
"Mr. Lian, can you take a look at this?" As he spoke, he handed the materials in his hand to Lian Ying.
After briefly flipping through a few photos, Lian Ying nodded: "It's okay, it's him, then I'll go back, there are still a lot of things to deal with." With that, he stood up and went out in a hurry.
When he left, I suddenly had a feeling that they had really disappeared and would never appear in front of my eyes again, and I wanted to stop him so that he could take me to see Zhen, but I couldn't open my mouth.
Grandpa Xu sat back on the Taishi chair, and his face became serious and ruthless again.
"Dongyang! Now that your purpose has been achieved, shouldn't you follow the path I laid for you? â
After being silent for a moment, Dongyang lowered his voice and returned: "Grandpa, let me send Zhang Yao back first, and then give me some time." â
Grandpa Xu looked at me and then at Dongyang: "Okay, then give you another month." Since he's here, you can take him to have a good time in Beijing. â
After speaking, Grandpa Xu got up and walked back to the back room.
That's it? Bring me from that far and that's it? What's going on?
"Dongyang, I didn't mean to bury you, but your grandfather is so weird..." I looked back at Xu Dongyang and said, his face looked much better at this time, and he was not as nervous as just now.
He walked up to me and patted me on the shoulder: "Let's go, I'll take you to eat something good!" â
"Oops, I'll go! Really? I told you that I was hungry for eggplants, what to eat? What to eat? Peking duck is good~~~" Saying that, my haramy is flowing out.
"Okay, then eat Quanjude's roast duck!"
"What else is delicious?"
"That's a lot, I don't dare to say that you can taste all the Manchu and Han banquets, but as long as you can name it, you can eat it."
"Really? Blow it! â
ãģãģãģãģãģ
The two of us went out talking and laughing.
As soon as the elevator came to a stop on the first floor, the door opened a gap, and a figure hurriedly ran in and slammed into my arms.
Uh... ãģãģI looked down at the person in my arms, and I wanted to cry.
"Ding Xiaorou? Why are you here? â
Maybe because of the impact just now, she didn't react yet, she looked up at me and then at Dongyang next to her.
"Brother Dongyang!! Brother Dongyang, are you really back? With that, she suddenly left my arms and took Dongyang's arm.
Ay! After all, it was someone else's girlfriend, and I knew that I was bored, so I lowered my head and left the elevator first.
"Zhang Yao! You wait! Saying that, Dongyang followed me out, Ding Xiaorou didn't mean to let go, and was also dragged out.
I looked back at them, and the vinegar in my heart was indescribable.
She is still so perfect like a bird, wearing a pink suit, cute head-to-head curtains, and a tender baby face, she feels excited when she looks at it a few more times.
"Ding Xiaorou! Hurry home! Dongyang's stern expression really doesn't look like a boyfriend, and he doesn't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade at all.
I suddenly remembered what Pan Zhen once told me, he said that Dongyang would not like Xiaorou, is it true? If it's true, then do I have a chance?
"Brother Dongyang, you have been back for so long, and everyone misses you a lot, so they asked me to invite you over." Xiaorou raised her head and said with her big cute eyes.
"Then you go and tell them that I'll go back tomorrow and let them not bother."
"Brother Dongyang, they have all booked a place, you can go and have a look, otherwise they should be unhappy." She looked at me with some embarrassment.
What do you mean? Let me persuade him! That, that must be persuaded!
"Dongyang, why don't we go for a trip, anyway, it's all about eating, it's better to have someone treat." I had no choice but to play the round.
Dongyang frowned and looked at me: "I found out why do you always help her talk?" â
I hurriedly argued, "No! Not! Not! I'm not right about people, you see that you didn't go home for the New Year, it's normal for friends to look for you, you should give people some face. â
"Well, since you say so, let's go sit down, and let me know if you feel bored."
"That's it! Let's go! "I think it's Ding Xiaorou who accompanies me throughout the whole process, so I won't be bored.
The three of us drove all the way in the Xu family's car, and the most ridiculous thing was that Dongyang sat in the co-pilot, and threw me and Xiaorou into the back seat.
Embarrassment, blushing, difficulty breathing, and rapid heartbeat all made me take possession of them, but I could survive to the hotel, and if it took longer, I might pass out.
After getting out of the car, Dongyang walked up to me and looked at my face carefully: "Zhang Yao, what's wrong with you?" The face is so ugly? â
I took a few breaths of fresh air and shook my head: "It's okay! Maybe a little motion sickness, but it'll be fine for a while. â
As we were talking, more than 20 people came out of the lobby of the hotel.
Each of them was a well-dressed young man, and his eyebrows and eyes revealed an arrogant and uninhibited temperament.
"Xu Shao! It's not easy to see you once. A guy who seemed to be the leader walked up to Dongyang and patted him on the shoulder very intimately.
At this moment, three or two more people also surrounded me, and Dongyang and I were separated. The team entered the hotel in a big way, and I had to walk behind like a follower of a mixed dinner.
In a luxurious private room of more than 100 square meters, there is only a large round table, which can accommodate 30 people, and a half-meter-high plain sculpture has been placed on the automatic rotating table in the middle, all of which are carved from vegetables and fruits.
The phoenix at the top is lifelike, and there are hundreds of birds accompanying it below, a three-dimensional picture of a hundred birds and a phoenix! I was so focused on admiring that I didn't notice that everyone around me was already seated.
"Alas~alas~ sit down." I was dragged to sit down by someone I didn't know.
At this time, I found that Dongyang and Ding Xiaorou had already been relegated to the main seat in the distance by everyone, and I actually sat in the corner closest to the door. To my left and right were two men I didn't know, about the same age as me.
The man I was talking to was sitting to my left, his emaciated face with a distinctive hooked nose, which reminded me of the Journey to the West.
"You're here to join in the fun, too." He looked at me and laughed and said, "Look at your outfit, how can you come in a tracksuit?" Tell you that no matter how bad you are, you have to pretend to be decent on this occasion. â
I looked down and saw that my dress was indeed too different from the others, but although Dongyang and I were dressed half a pound and eight taels, but they were in the right position, and it seemed that everything was so reasonable.
The gap~~~ This is the gap between people~~ Even a little person like me is not like the emperor even if he puts on a dragon robe.
"I'm here to eat, and I'm dressed the same." I said disappreciatively.
"You're pretty realistic! I like that, but more than half of the people sitting at this table are here for dinner, you see. As he spoke, Xingjun pointed to a fat man who was smoking not far away: "He is the nephew of Mayor XX, and the good-looking one over there, that is the youngest son of the chairman of G Communications." These people are actually small characters and can't be on the stage. â
I looked at him in amazement: "Hey! You wouldn't mean that these people are the second generation of officials or the second generation of riches, right? â
Mao Ri Xingjun pouted and nodded.
"And what does your dad do?" I asked curiously.
"Hey~~~ My dad just took the position of district chief last year."
I thought to myself: That's not bad, the size is also an official, but the district chief's sons are all mixed with me, so what kind of backstage do those people around Dongyang have?
"Is the Dongyang family so rich? Why is everyone holding him? â
"Who? You say Xu Shao? "Mao Ri Xingjun stared at me, and at this glance, he looked more like a rooster becoming a sperm.
I forced a smile and nodded.
"Oh my God! Who did you get involved with? Who doesn't know the status of their Xu family in Jing'er, that is the ability of Tongtian! Whether it is a change of dynasty or turmoil and war, you can rest assured that you will not be able to hurt the people of their Xu family. "What Mao Ri Xingjun said is amazing, I can hear it and be happy, this ancestor will not be a storyteller on the flyover.
"It's unlikely, no matter how you say that events like the eight-year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the Cultural Revolution are like this, how can a rich family hide from it?"
"You see, I said that you still don't believe it, I heard that the whole family moved away in those years, and I don't know where I went, anyway, I didn't come back until the limelight passed."
"So amazing?"
"It's so magical, don't believe in evil, many people say that their Xu family is blessed by the Buddha."
"Oh oh, that's it!" I really can't listen to it anymore, and I hope to talk about the Buddha in a while. It's too far, and the more you talk about it, the more mysterious it becomes, who can believe this!
Alas? No, no, if it's not the Buddha but someone else? For example, people like Zhen, who have lived for more than 2,000 years, may be able to do it, which can also explain why Grandpa Xu respects Lianying so much. If there is a deal between them, then everything seems to make sense.
It dawned on me that I sat in my chair, my mind spinning and recalling the details of the whole thing. Yes, I guess that's right.
