Chapter 083: Pleasant Lunch
At the dinner table, Yang Yan reintroduced Eve to everyone, and the two of them sat together with Natalie and Irina, and the four of them quickly chatted hotly.
Irina will always be the one who is hostile to everyone on the surface, but once she comes into contact with her, she is the first to become extremely enthusiastic. She is like this to Natalie and Ye Ting, she thinks that the relationship between the two of them and Yang Fan is too close, which will affect the relationship between Yang Fan and Anna.
As for Yang Yan, she was afraid that Yang Fan would put all his energy on her, thus snubbing Anna. In short, all her starting points are for Anna, but her approach seems a little naΓ―ve.
At this time, Irina found that Yang Yan's temperament and personality were very similar to Anna, and she felt that Yang Yan was very kind.
Yang Fan is happy to see all this, what he is not good at is dealing with the relationship between women, and these are very important women to him, even more important than life.
Talking and laughing, lunch was basically over, and everyone was about to pack up and leave, but Evan reminded: "Boss, didn't you prepare a gift for Sister Yang Yan?" β
"Oh, yes! I almost forgot! β
Yang Fan clapped his hands, and finally remembered that there was such a thing, he quickly took out the black box from his pocket and handed it to Yang Yan, and said, "Sister, I remember that you like Mocui the most, you were always too expensive in the past, and you were reluctant to buy it." This time when we went to Myanmar to get some good things, I asked someone to help you order a pendant, do you like it? β
"Really?"
Yang Yan took the box, opened the box with a little curiosity, and the moment she opened the box, her eyes widened, and she carefully took out the pendant, looking at the exquisite carving of the pendant, she exclaimed: "This carving is too meticulous!" Definitely the work of a master! β
She walked to the window again, and after taking a closer look at the pendant in the light, she said, "There are almost no impurities to be seen in this piece of ink, and the surface is so shiny. And the face light is black enough, the water permeability is green enough, it is really the best of the best! Xiaofan, where did you get it? It won't beβ"
"Sister, don't worry! When we were on a mission in Myanmar, our employer gave us a batch of jadeite rough stones, and this is one of them! β
Yang Fan looked at his sister who was full of excitement, and a happy smile appeared on his face, this feeling was far more satisfying than getting the 500 million US dollars.
"Oh, that's good! Xiaofan, sister, thank you! β
Yang Yan has indeed liked jadeite since she was a child, especially Mocui, which is also influenced by Liu Wen. Liu Wen has a pair of Mocui's Guanyin, saying that he will give them to Yang Fan and Yang Yan separately when they get married.
Since then, Yang Yan has become interested in jadeite, especially Mocui. Both of them were afraid that mentioning their adoptive mothers would make each other sad, so they simply talked about it!
"Sister, I'll bring it for you!"
"Well, okay!"
Yang Fan took the pendant from Yang Yan's hand, personally brought it to her white neck, and looked at Yang Yan with a happy face, Yang Fan felt the value of this jade for the first time.
He never cared about money, and he didn't have that much interest in these gems, only when these things could make the people around him happy, Yang Fan felt that these were meaningful.
Natalie put her hands on her cheeks and exclaimed with a nymphomaniac expression: "Wow, this picture is so beautiful!" Sister Yang Yan, you are so beautiful! β
Yang Yan smiled faintly and said, "Where, you and Irina are really beautiful!" β
Irina waved her hand and said, "Sister Yang Yan, we don't have such a good temperament as yours, just a skin that can be seen in the past!" β
She then looked at Yang Fan and asked, "Yang Fan, you won't just make one, right?" β
"No, Brother Yang has made three! There was also a robin-shaped one and a steed-shaped one, which I saw yesterday when I went to his place. Zhao Erhu couldn't help it and interjected on the side.
"Three?"
Irina instantly became gloomy and asked, "Yang Fan, one of the robins must be our boss!" What about the other one, and for whom is the other one? β
"This ......" Yang Fan squinted at Zhao Erhu, he knew that he wouldn't show Zhao Erhu off, but he didn't expect this guy to think about it before he spoke.
Zhao Erhu also realized that he had said the wrong thing at this time, and lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Yang Fan.
Yang Yan easily guessed that Yang Fan's horse pendant must have been for Ouyang Jing. In fact, she also likes Ouyang Jing very much, and she also knows Yang Fan, knowing that Yang Fan does not necessarily have any thoughts about Ouyang Jing, but may simply want to be good to her, in her impression, Yang Fan is such a "fraternity".
Of course, Yang Yan also knew that Yang Fan would definitely not disappoint Anna, because she could see Yang Fan's feelings for Anna.
So he smiled faintly and said, "Sister Irina, I guess this should be for my mother, my mother's zodiac just happens to belong to horses!" β
"Oh, it's the zodiac! I've heard of the Chinese zodiac, twelve kinds of animals! Irina relieved her heart, and then asked, "Sister Yang Yan, what should I belong?" β
"You were born in 1990, and you should be a horse!"
"Am I a horse? Are you sure? β
"Yes, you are a horse too!"
Yang Yan began to explain to Irina how the Chinese zodiac signs are calculated, and Irina and Natalie listened with interest.
Yang Fan finally breathed a sigh of relief, Yang Yan secretly looked at Yang Fan's embarrassed look, and couldn't help but laugh in her heart. She really had never seen Yang Fan so afraid of anyone, and it was really difficult to deal with this little girl like Irina. Yang Yan quickly explained to them the meaning of the zodiac, and Irina and Natalie both seemed to understand but did not understand.
Yang Fan seized this gap, took out the key to the San Diego villa and handed it to Yang Yan, and said, "Sister, aren't you and Eve going to San Diego tomorrow." Anna and I bought a house in San Diego's Central Side, which is the key to the house. You can stay there these days! β
Yang Yan took the key, pinched Yang Fan's face, and teased: "The house has been bought, is our Xiaofan going to start a family?" Next time you have to tell your sister in advance, don't let your sister know your big things at that time, and it will be rude to come empty-handed! β
"Sister...... Not what you think! β
Yang Fan was ridiculed by Yang Yan like this, and he blushed, and it was directly red to his neck. Everyone knows about his relationship with Anna, but no one really jokes about it so nakedly.
The people in Group B have never seen anyone dare to pinch Yang Fan's face. This is simply treating the king of mercenaries as a child in the family, and this scene has left a deep impression on everyone!
Irina looked at this scene and said with envy: "It's good that someone hurts......"
Natalie put her hand on Irina's shoulder, in a sisterly posture, and said, "Irina, you don't have to be envious!" Actually, I also have 5 of those emerald diamonds. I don't even know how to use it, what do you like, sister gave it to you? β
"Really?"
Irina came to her senses all of a sudden, hugged Natalie, and said excitedly: Natalie, in fact, I also like horses, didn't Sister Yang Yan say that I also belong to horses?
But I like red, so why don't you just have the miser carve a horse for me! In Russia, horses are seen as animals that drive away evil and bring good luck! β
"Okay, no problem! It just so happens that I have two more red jadeite roughs! It's exactly a pair! β
"That's right! Why don't you carve one too, we happen to be a pair! β
"Good! But...... What am I going to carve? β
Natalie was in her own thoughts, she was the worst at this kind of thing, she liked firearms, because Natalie never wore jewelry.
Yang Yan thought for a moment, smiled and said, "Sister Natalie, if you can't think of it, it's better to carve a dragon pattern." Since Sister Irina has carved her own zodiac signs, then you are 1988 and the zodiac sign is the dragon.
In our Chinese there is a saying of 'dragon and horse spirit', the dragon and the horse happen to be a pair, symbolizing progress, upward and endless! β
"Really? Sister Yang Yan, that's great! Dragon, Huaxia Dragon! Well, I like it! That's it, when I get back to base, I'll go find the miser! Natalie clapped her hands and said.
Yang Fan smiled at Yang Yan, he knew that the so-called "Dragon Horse Spirit" did not mean this. But he guessed that his sister must have understood in her heart that she was doing nothing more than to help herself appease Irina, the "troublemaker", and Yang Fan was still very grateful to Yang Yan, after all, he really didn't have much to do with Irina.
Seeing that the atmosphere was so enthusiastic, Evan stood up, held his wine glass and said, "Everyone, everyone, it's rare that we can get together. As the agent of Group B, I officially welcome Sister Yang Yan and Eve to join our Group B family! β
Yang Yan and Eve also stood up, Yang Yan picked up the wine glass and said, "Everyone, thank you for helping me take care of Xiaofan, I am also very happy to meet everyone!" Also, thank you to all of you who risked their lives in Australia! β
Everyone stood up and toasted together.
After taking his seat, Evan said, "Boss, why don't we go to San Diego too, I haven't seen your villa yet!" β
"Okay, I'm fine! Anyway, there hasn't been much going on lately, so let's go relax for a while! Yang Fan said.
At this point, these mercenaries, who were accustomed to shuttling in the rain of bullets, also began to gossip. At this point, Eve poured herself another glass of wine and stood up from her seat.
However, she didn't seem to have thought about what she was going to do at all, and just stood there with her glass in her hand and an embarrassed expression. Everyone looked at Eve, and they were all confused.
Eve was even more embarrassed, and her face was about to match the red wine in the glass.
Yang Fan looked at Yang Yan and cast an inquiring look, Yang Yan first looked at Eve, and then nodded to Yang Fan with a smile. Yang Fan understood, it must have been Yang Yan who had confirmed with Eve that she really liked Ian, and Eve should be trying to say something to Ian at this moment.
Evan keenly noticed Yang Fan and Yang Yan's eye contact, waved his hand at Yang Fan, and looked at him with a questioning expression.
Yang Fan twisted his head slightly to look in Ian's direction, Evan also looked at Ian, with a look of sudden realization, stretched out his thumb to Yang Fan, and then sat up straight, and also looked at Eve quietly.
Eve drank half of the wine in her glass, took a deep breath, and plucked up the courage to say, "Ian, that ...... I learned a lot of sniping techniques from you last time I was in South Africa, I ...... Want to thank you! I don't know if it's going to be ...... in the future Is there a chance to ......"
In the middle of speaking, Eve suddenly lowered her head.
As soon as Eve's words fell, there was a slight agitation on the wine table. Although Eve didn't say anything like a confession, judging from her tone and demeanor, the meaning was already very clear!
Everyone turned their attention to Ian, but Ian was confused, he felt that everyone was waiting for his response, so he also stood up with his wine glass, and said lightly: "You're welcome, you are Yang Yan's friend, that is, our friend." Besides, you're already very good, and I may not be able to teach you anything! β
Everyone lowered their heads in unison, feeling very deflated, even Ali smiled helplessly, Evan patted his head and muttered softly: "Oh my God, fighting genius!" That's all right...... Ay! β
What's strange about Yang Fan is that Natalie can actually see Eve's good impression of Ian. It seems that she is just insensitive to her own affairs, or she is deliberately pretending to be confused and doesn't want others to get involved.
At this moment, Jason's mobile phone ringtone broke the embarrassing situation, Jason took out his mobile phone, smiled and said, "It's my mother, video call!" β
"Oh, it's Auntie, we haven't seen Auntie for a long time!"
Bruce was the first to stand behind Jason, and most of the people in Group B had been to Jason's house, and they all liked the Jasons.
In order to alleviate the awkward scene between Ian and Eve, everyone ran behind Jason in a hurry.
But when the video was connected, everyone's expressions immediately froze.
