"Just let people come, what kind of gift do you give." He gave the brocade box to his eldest son Pei Zihuai behind him, and his eyes fell on Xu Tanling: "This is Tan Ling, right?" ”

It's also strange that the daughter of the Xu family with real power didn't come, but it was this illegitimate daughter who came.

Xu Tanling had seen Pei Bingde a few years earlier: "Grandpa Pei is good. ”

She wears and wears high-end clothes, etiquette and bearing are very decent, it can be seen that the Xu family has raised this illegitimate daughter very well, and Xu Bolin and his wife often take her to various high-class dinners, but the daughter of the main owner is so low-key that no one knows.

Pei Bingde did enough work on the surface, and said three good things in a row: "Tan Ling is getting more and more beautiful, I don't know whose stinky boy will be cheaper in the future." ”

Xu Tanling was used to seeing this kind of scene and coped with it easily.

"Grandpa Pei, you will make fun of me, how can I be as beautiful as Sister Junqi. I heard that Junqi's sister has a boyfriend, and I don't know whose stinky boy is cheaper. ”

When he mentioned this, Pei Bingde sighed, and he had a headache: "Don't mention it, I'm not happy to give her a good match at home, so I have to find it myself." ”

Listening to the tone, it didn't seem very satisfying.

The three members of the Xu family also had eyesight, and they didn't mention this stubble again.

After a few more pleasantries, Pei Bingde asked casually, "Why didn't Tan Xi come?" ”

Wen Zhaofang was wearing a cheongsam, white fur on her shoulders, exquisite makeup, gentle and noble, she replied: "She has something in the hospital and can't leave." ”

Pei Bingde wanted to ask a few more words, but the eldest son Pei Zihuai came to his ear and said, "Dad, Mr. Wen is here." ”

Pei Bingde glanced at the door and said to Xu Bolin: "I'll go over to entertain you, but I'll miss the company first." ”

"Please."

Xu Bolin also looked at the door.

Pei Bingde stepped forward to entertain him, and he greeted people with a smile and was polite: "Mr. Wen." ”

It's not Mr. Wen, it's Mr. Wen.

There is only one Wen family who is often called Mr. Wen.

"Hello, Mr. Pei."

It's Wen Shiyu.

Wen Zhaofang watched for a while: "I'll take Tan Ling to recognize people." ”

Xu Bolin nodded and instructed, "Be careful, don't be rude." ”

"I'm measured."

The living room was full of guests, and there was no wine table, only a few column-shaped tables, decorated with champagne roses, and various foreign wines on top. There are four long dining tables on the wall of the hall, and there are many dishes on the table, both Chinese and Western, which are not much, but they are exquisitely arranged.

It was not dark outside, the crystal chandelier in the hall was already on, the doors and windows were open, the wind blew in, and the amethyst on the lamp shook occasionally.

Wen Zhaofang led Xu Tanling through the crowd of guests and walked to the innermost. Xu Tanling looked around, looking a little nervous, but he couldn't wait.

"Sister, she won't come, will she?"

Wen Zhaofang said firmly: "No, she didn't see the invitation." ”

The invitation was sent to Xu's house, and it was sent separately, Xu Tanxi had a single copy, and then one copy each in the big room and two rooms.

The mother and daughter went up to the third floor, and after waiting for a while, someone came.

"Mrs. Xu, Miss Xu."

He is a descendant of the Pei family.

Wen Zhaofang looked at the bottom of the stairs, then looked at the corridor on the third floor, and when she saw that there was no one, she asked, "Is it all arranged?" ”

"It's arranged."

The corners of Xu Tanling's mouth went up, ready to move.

Downstairs.

Xiao Ji came in from outside the door, together with his agent Wang Qiusheng.

"Why is he here?" Zhang Guining is a very noble lady today, she eats and drinks in small sips, and speaks in a low voice, "You're not here to seduce Tanxi, right?" ”

Xu Zhongqing doesn't socialize with others and stays with his wife.

"I said I wouldn't do it yesterday, but I'm rushing to deliver it today." Zhang Guining snorted arrogantly, "Duplicity." ”

Xu Zhongqing immediately seconded: "My wife is right. ”

Zhang Guining looked around, but didn't find Xu Tanxi, but saw her own daughter, who was leaning against the long table in the south, putting it in her mouth from left to right, eating very happily.

Zhang Guining rushed over and pinched her waist: "Xu win, win!" ”

Xu Yingying wiped his mouth: "What are you doing?" ”

Before coming to Pei's house, Zhang Guining took her to the beauty salon first, and she did makeup and styling for more than an hour, and within ten minutes of coming in, she ate all the lipstick.

Zhang Guining is going to be angry with her! The fact that the girl ate more than three bites at the celebrity banquet would definitely laugh at her if the ladies in the circle saw it.

Xu Yingying hadn't eaten yet, so he reached for the cherries.

Zhang Guining slapped her off: "You still eat!" If you look at other celebrities, who knows how to eat like you, is the food on this occasion to be eaten? You're still eating so many bites! ”

Who will eat more than three bites at a banquet?!

Xu Yingying was wearing a pink princess dress, and he was a little fairy without opening his mouth: "It's not for food, is it for viewing?" ”

Zhang Guining twisted her waist: "Eight o'clock, the second son of the Zhong family, six o'clock, the eldest son of the Xi family, you are not allowed to come back if you don't talk for ten minutes." ”

Xu Yingying didn't know the second son of the Zhong family at all, nor did he know the eldest son of the Xi family.

"Okay, Queen Mother."

She lifted the hem of her skirt and made a lady's salute, first to eight o'clock and ate a piece of cake, and then to six o'clock and to eat a plate of fruit.

Of course, she eats very, very ladylike.

Zhang Guining: "......"

The evil beast she gave birth to!

Pei Bingde's 70th birthday, in addition to people in the business circle, there are also many political celebrities, almost all the people on the entire Nancheng pyramid have arrived, and there are also some familiar faces in the entertainment industry, most of them are women, who attend as other people's female companions.

It is not surprising that Xiao appeared at the Pei family's birthday banquet.

"Why do you have to be at home?"

Wang Qiusheng handed him a glass of wine: "Don't you think this is more exciting?" ”

It's more animalistic.

Xiao didn't answer, he drank by himself, the wine was a little strong, and it was so spicy that he choked. The guests pushed their glasses and changed their glasses, each wearing a mask, and you came and went. He walked aimlessly, and suddenly, his footsteps stopped.

At the door, a richly dressed woman shook her head at him.

Don't come here.

The woman didn't say a word, but her eyes conveyed the signal: Don't come.

It's his adoptive mother, Chen Weiqing.

She was a movie star when she was young, she was born with a good appearance, and she stopped filming after marrying her husband Xiao Zhennan, not long after the two got married, the Xiao family went bankrupt, but even if she was not in the glorious Xiao family, she still looked down on Chen Weiqing as an actor, she was gentle and weak, and she had an unsatisfactory life over the years.

She held her husband Xiao Zhennan, and her son Xiao Qi stood on the right hand, a family of three, looking decent and generous.

"Grandpa Pei." Xiao Qi's appearance followed his father Xiao Zhennan, his facial features were Zhouzheng, and his literary quality was polite, and he sent the congratulatory gift with both hands, "I wish you happiness like the East China Sea, and longevity than Nanshan." ”

Xiao Qi and Pei Junqi, the second lady of the Pei family's grandchildren, have been dating for more than a month.

The Xiao family has long since declined, there is a frame of a wealthy family, Pei Bingde naturally looks down on the Xiao family, and he did not send an invitation, it was his granddaughter who invited someone on her own initiative, although he did not directly pull down his face, but he did not give a good face, and he did not accept the congratulatory gift for a long time.

Pei Junqi felt sorry for her boyfriend: "Grandpa! ”

Pei Bingde took the gift at this time: "I have a heart." ”

Pei Junqi said good things for her boyfriend: "Ah Qi knows that grandpa likes calligraphy and painting, and you have been picking it for a long time." ”

Pei Bingde's attitude was lukewarm: "I still have guests, Junqi, you help me entertain Mr. Xiao and Mrs. Xiao well." ”

He said goodbye and went to entertain other guests.

Xiao Zhennan and his wife, who were left out in the cold, looked very bad, and Pei Junqi was caught in the middle and was in a dilemma: "Uncle and aunt, why don't I take you around?" ”

The father and son of the Xiao family didn't say anything, Chen Weiqing nodded, looked back quietly when he turned around, and shook his head at Xiao Ji like just now.

Few people know that the Xiao family also has an adopted son.

A few minutes later, Xiao Ji received a WeChat message from Chen Weiqing: [Ah Ji, many people are here, Auntie can't say hello to you]

Xiao drank a glass of wine after reading it, and the liquor pierced through his intestines, with a hint of bitterness in hindsight.

"Second Master Pei is here."

Wang Qiusheng stepped forward: "Second master." ”

This second master's name is Pei Zifeng, he is Pei Bingde's second son, he has just passed the age of confusion, he is a well-known old man in the circle, and he has done a lot of animal things, but because of his good fate, he was born in the rich and powerful Pei family, and he can still live in a crowd of well-dressed.

Pei Zifeng has a bit of a special fetish, and he likes girls and beautiful men the most.

His gaze was almost glued to Xiao Ji: "I finally saw the real person." ”

Wang Qiusheng said with a wicked smile: "Our artists will shoot posters in a few days, so you can take it easy." ”

Pei Zifeng smiled but did not speak.

In winter, the nights are long and the days are short, and the streets get dark early, and the street lamps burn the twilight and emit light. The villa is staggered and lively.

Qin Zhaoli leaned against the table where the wine was placed, and chatted with Wen Shiyu with a match.

"Why didn't you come?"

Wen Shiyu is wearing formal clothes, and there is no bit of businessman's copper smell on his body, like an elegant and gentle little student in the play.

"I asked her when I came, and she said she hadn't received the invitation."

"The business circles in Nancheng all know who the Xu family is the real master, and it is impossible for the Pei family not to send her an invitation." Qin Zhaoli didn't need to think to guess what was going on, "Eighty percent of them are because someone doesn't want her to come." ”

After all, this birthday banquet is a network of people and a place for business.

The wine on the columnar table was emptied, and the servant of the Pei family came over with a tray to make up for it, and asked Wen Shiyu if he needed to add wine.

His glass was empty, so he asked the servant to add more.

"It's okay if you don't come, you don't like to be lively."

Qin Zhaoli changed the subject: "Why didn't you bring celadon?" ”

Wen Shiyu put the wine glass in his hand: "Why did you bring her?" ”

"She's your gossip girlfriend."

To be honest, Qin Zhaoli couldn't understand the relationship between Wen Shiyu and Zhou Celadon and said that they didn't matter, over the years, Wen Shiyu had no other women around him except Zhou Celadon , she was the only female companion who had been taken to public by Wen Shiyu, saying that they had a relationship, Wen Shiyu was too unfamiliar with Zhou Celadon again, at least, he didn't sing in front of Zhou Celadon .

It is rumored outside that Wen Shiyu fell in love with Wu and planted a garden of Junzi Orchid for Zhou Celadon, but Qin Zhaoli didn't know whether this was true or false.

Wen Shiyu replied: "The three of them became tigers when they said it. ”

In a word, it's clean.

Zhou celadon can't pick this gentleman's orchid, and he doesn't know who can get into his eyes.

"Uncle, it's time for you to have a girlfriend too." Qin Zhaoli glanced at Xu Tanling, "Save the old people from worrying about you." ”

Wen Shiyu lowered his eyes and said, "Don't worry about the elders." ”

Qin Zhaoli was two years younger than him, but a generation apart. Okay, she didn't care, turned around and answered the phone. It was the company who called, saying that there was a problem with the medical equipment.

Qin Zhaoli finished drinking the wine: "The company is in a bit of a hurry, I have to leave first." ”

Wen Shiyu hummed.

As soon as Qin Zhaoli left, someone immediately came over with wine to greet Wen Shiyu. After a few rounds of entertainment, he didn't drink much, but he was three or four points drunk, and felt dizzy and weak.

"I'm sorry, I missed me."

He put down his glass and walked out of the arena, the lights and the noise in his ears fading into obscurity.

"Hello." He stopped the servant, "Where is the lounge?" ”

"Sir, please come with me."

The servant led him to the southernmost room on the third floor.

He had just sat down when there was a knock on the door, and he went to open it.

"Is there something wrong?"

It was Wen Zhaofang who brought Xu Tanling over.

"It's inconvenient for people to come and go outside, so let's go in and talk."

Wen Shiyu also happened to have something to ask, so he let the two of them in. He drank wine, was a little feverish, unbuttoned his suit a few times, looked more casual than usual, and there was a slight drunkenness in his eyes.

Xu Tanling rarely saw him like this, and he was stupid for a while.

He spoke first: "You didn't give her the invitation?" ”

Wen Zhaofang was surprised: "Didn't she receive it?" I asked the driver to deliver it. ”

"Which driver?"

Wen Zhaofang's face did not change: "I let Uncle Qian go." ”

Wen Shiyu pressed his temples and frowned.

Seeing this, Wen Zhaofang asked, "Are you feeling unwell?" ”
