Volume II: Chapter 70: The New Year
The New Year has come like this, and the family has held another New Year's party as before, which is in the Ouyang family's house. Ouyang Yin is living alone outside, and Ouyang Da and some retainers live in Ouyang's house.
The sound of fireworks outside the window sounded again and again, and the bright flowers bloomed in the air, making one sound after another, as if the pen was rendering and drawing again and again in the sky.
Ouyang Yin was wearing a black suit, standing at the door, smiling and greeting the people of various families.
"Mr. Ouyang. Lin Weicheng was wearing a dark blue suit with a black coat on the outside, he handed the coat to the attendant beside Ouyang Yinzheng, and then smiled: "It's been a long time." ”
"Acropolis, you've been busy lately. Ouyang Yinzheng smiled slightly, narrowed his eyes, and couldn't see what he was thinking.
"Uncle Ouyang is the same, now that it's the end of the year, the family's business needs to be settled well, and Uncle Ouyang must take good care of his health. Lin Weicheng remained silent.
"yes. Ouyang Yinzheng said, "There are still a lot of disobedient subordinates to deal with." ”
Lin Weicheng's smile on his face became even worse, and he said, "That's right. ”
"The Acropolis. Ouyang Yin Zheng took a step forward and said in a low voice, "I heard that you asked Xiao Ge and Xiao Chen to get engaged this fall, I don't know if it's true or not?"
"Don't hide it from your uncle, it's naturally true. Lin Weicheng said lightly.
"That's really congratulations, but you also know that the dog Ouyang Da has a deep affection for Xiaoge, you have to be careful not to stimulate him. Ouyang Yinzheng smiled slightly.
"Thank you, sir, for the reminder. Lin Weicheng bowed and said. With that, he handed his arm to Du Qingzhou beside him, and Du Qingzhou took his arm and walked in.
Lin Xiaoge took Xiao Chen's arm and followed behind, Ouyang Yinzheng's eyes sank, he remembered Huo Muyun's words that day, and he couldn't help but have a strong feeling in his heart, he was very eager for that kind of power, that kind of power to become a dragon, if he could become a dragon, he would rather sacrifice everything he had in exchange for that kind of power, now is not the time, he secretly told himself that one day, he would get that kind of power.
The party began, and everyone gathered in twos and threes with wine glasses.
"Everyone, everyone!" Ouyang Yin was standing on the stage and began to speak, "Everyone, we are celebrating together today to celebrate our family for another new year. ”
Applause erupted.
Ouyang Yinzheng continued: "Now, among the three major families, the Xiao family's family has changed the head of the family, allowing more talented people to become the head of the family and create new brilliance for our family. ”
Everyone's eyes were focused on Xiao Chen, Lin Weicheng stretched out his hand to applaud, and the people sitting also applauded.
"Okay, let's celebrate!" Ouyang Yinzheng said.
The Adepts moved out of the center of the hall and the music rang out, and it was customary for the patriarchs of the three families to perform the first dance at the annual family gathering.
Ouyang Yin was holding his daughter Ouyang Yun to enter the dance floor first, Lin Weicheng and Du Qingzhou also started dancing, Xiao Chen reached out to hold Lin Xiaoge's hand, and the two of them also entered the dance floor.
"It was my first time dancing. Xiao Chen said in a low voice.
"It's okay, I think you danced very well before. Lin Xiaoge said in a low voice, this dance was just taught to Xiao Chen by Lin Xiaoge a month ago.
"Perhaps. Xiao Chen couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth, "But it's quite fun." ”
Lin Xiaoge raised his hand and hugged Xiao Chen's shoulders, she was wearing a light pink skirt today, cut and fitted, just exposing her delicate knees and slender legs.
Xiao Chen's hand wrapped around Lin Xiaoge's waist, her waist was very thin, not a grip, Lin Xiaoge sometimes sighed, when she was a girl, she never thought that she would dance with this person, maybe she looked up too much, saw his eyes back, but did not dare to look at each other.
"Let go!" A voice smashed into the entire hall, and suddenly it was like a thunderclap, breaking the harmonious atmosphere of the entire banquet.
"You TM let me go!" Ouyang Da rushed out of nowhere and pulled Xiao Chen away.
Xiao Chen and Lin Xiaoge were pulled away by Ouyang Da who suddenly rushed out, and Ouyang Da shouted, "Don't touch her!"
Suddenly there was silence, everyone's eyes were focused on Ouyang Da, and the band that was playing also stopped, and they all looked at Xiao Chen.
The smile on Xiao Chen's face gradually disappeared, and Xiao Chen's eyes gradually emitted a red glow.
Ouyang Da shouted: "Do you know, Xiaoge and I are childhood sweethearts, we are in love, why are you engaged to Xiaoge?" he shouted loudly, as if extremely angry.
Xiao Chen looked at him coldly and didn't make a sound.
"Ouyang Da, can you be a little self-aware, who is your childhood sweetheart?" Lin Xiaoge hurriedly said, and when she and Ouyang Da looked at each other, her voice gradually became smaller.
"You betrayed me!" Ouyang Da shouted.
Xiao Chen was protected in front of Lin Xiaoge, he looked directly at Ouyang Da, he was slightly taller than Ouyang Da, he didn't say a word, and his whole body exuded a cold murderous aura.
"You. Ouyang Da couldn't help but exclaim.
"I'm engaged to Ge. Xiao Chen spoke, and the banquet was quiet, except for Xiao Chen's voice, there was no sound at all.
"The reason why Ge chose me instead of you, I think everyone knows it. Xiao Chen's voice was very cold, without a little temperature. "As the eldest son and heir of the Ouyang clan, you have not made any contribution to the family, let me ask you, do you have it?"
Ouyang Da was dumbfounded and speechless.
"To put it bluntly, you only rely on your Lao Tzu to have everything you have today. Xiao Chen whispered in Ouyang Da's ear. "That's the biggest difference between you and me. ”
Ouyang Da was stunned, he stayed where he was, unable to speak.
"Guys, let's go on. Lin Weicheng said. Suddenly, the sound of music sounded again, and Lin Weicheng reached out to grab Du Qingzhou's waist and began to dance.
The first dance music was over, Lin Xiaoge took Xiao Chen's hand and stood on the terrace, I don't know when it rained outside the window, the snow was blowing one after another, it seemed to block a new world, the sky kept blooming with gorgeous flowers, and the fleeting beauty that scattered away made Xiao Chen a little moved.
"It's pretty. Lin Xiaoge smiled, "When I was a child, my favorite thing was the night view of Uncle Ouyang's house." ”
It is indeed very beautiful, Ouyang's villa is built in the rich area of Licheng's manor, built at the highest point of the entire manor, standing by the window, you can see the lights below that seem to be sprinkled with countless gold, all kinds of lights in all kinds of gardens, like a dream.
