31, Ye Xingshu
Chen Wen took advantage of Ye Xingtong's walking in front of him and grabbed her hand: "Hitomi." ”
"Huh? What's wrong? ”
"I remember you saying that it was one of your sisters who first introduced you to Milk and Chocolate. Is it your own sister or a neighbor's sister or some kind of senior sister? ”
Ye Xing's pupils tilted, and he pouted without speaking. After a while she replied, "It's my sister at home...... But I can't remember which one it is......"
Chen Wen smiled: "Can you forget this?" ”
"I really can't remember. I just remember...... It's not a cousin cousin who is so close to her sister. It was a distant relative I met at the funeral of a distant grandfather a few years ago. ”
"Farther away?"
"Yes. Didn't we have dinner after the memorial service, and the adults drank and talked together, and we children gathered two big tables next to us to chat. A lot of people play games, but there is an older sister who saw me using my phone to find a book to read, so she recommended your "Milk and Chocolate". Speaking of this, Ye Xingtong jumped a small step excitedly, "Tomorrow the family should be here, maybe I can find her!" ”
"You're looking for her?"
"Opposite. She's your earlier reader than I am. I would like to thank her in person for introducing me to your book. ”
"You took her as a matchmaker?"
She nodded quickly: "If I hadn't called your name on TV, you wouldn't have had the courage to strike up a conversation with me, right?" ”
Chen Wen sighed and hugged her into his arms: "It's enough to have you, my most important reader. ”
Chen Wen was surprised. was curious about that mysterious girl, and actually changed from one person to two people. Of course, until the moment she really appeared, he couldn't be sure whether the person who appeared in the dream was Ye Xingtong's sister.
Before dinner the next day, Chen Wen and Ye Xingtong rushed to the hotel where Ye's father held a birthday banquet.
Ye's mother was in the parking lot with one of her sisters helping relatives who arrived by car to find a parking space, and she asked the young couple to go upstairs first.
"Go up there, it's windy here."
Ye Xingtong said: "Let's come, how can we let you stand here and blow the wind." ”
"Fool, you're a public figure too, don't hang around here." Mother Ye smiled and pushed the two of them into the hotel, "Come in." ”
It's a little ashamed to say it, although Chen Wen knows that Ye Xingtong's father is a music teacher, he never knows his full name. It wasn't until today that he learned about Ye's father's full name, Ye Zhiyuan, on the sign in the hotel lobby.
With the calm state of mind corresponding to this name, you can cultivate a clear stream in the entertainment industry like Ye Xingtong.
Just as Chen Wen secretly touched the ring hidden in his pocket, Ye Xingtong hooked his arm and dragged him into the venue to greet Father Ye and a few relatives who arrived first.
"Didn't you say it was booked...... How many tables are there......" Chen Wen was stunned by the scene in front of him. At first glance, there were thirteen or fourteen tables at today's dinner.
Ye Xingtong leaned close to his face and said with a smile: "This is almost the number of tables of my father's relatives when we got married, not counting my mother's family." ”
After walking with him to Father Ye to give gifts, Ye Xingtong pulled him to the elevator to greet the guests.
From time to time, relatives walked out of the open elevator door, and Ye Xingtong shook hands and hugged them cordially, and introduced Chen Wen to them.
Chen Wen asked secretly, "Are you sure you know all your relatives?" ”
"Of course not," she shook her head, "but thanks to you, they must know me, hahahaha." ”
In Ye Xingtong's laughter, Chen Wen thought for a moment. She should refer to the "Crab" designed by Chen Wen, who became popular. Then she had the opportunity to publicly propose on the show and completely became a star that everyone knew.
As the agreed meal approached, more and more relatives arrived at the scene. Most of them were two elderly people with an older sister or brother, some of them with three generations, but a few of them came alone.
I don't know when someone got up and wanted to take a photo with Ye Xingtong at the door. As soon as the first relative took a picture, the other relatives took this as a regular program for today, and lined up to take pictures. Chen Wen became a full-time photographer and was responsible for taking over their mobile phones to help shoot.
Chen Wen quietly counted in his mind, until no more relatives arrived, and when Ye's mother also came back by elevator, about fifteen Ye Xingtong's sisters came. Several of them did resemble Ye Xingtong in some ways, but he didn't find the girl in the dream.
I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
The two returned to the venue and sat at the same table as Ye's father and Ye's mother. But there was still an empty seat next to Daddy Ye, and he also stood there without meaning to take a seat.
Ye Xingtong asked Ye's mother: "Is Dad waiting for someone?" ”
"Your uncle hasn't arrived yet."
"Uncle Xingshu?" Ye Xingtong frowned and was thinking, indicating that she was not familiar with this uncle.
"It's your grandfather's cousin's son Ye Xingshu, who is your distant uncle. He is not only the eldest in your father's generation, but also the most educated person in the family, and he has been the editor-in-chief of any magazine. Your dad has a lot of respect for him, so be sure to wait until he comes. ”
"Oh." Ye Xingtong seemed to suddenly think of something, and added, "Then did their family give birth to a son or a daughter?" ”
Mother Ye suddenly straightened her face and made an expression that she was not allowed to continue: "He lives alone, very pitiful." When the next family comes, don't mention any sons and daughters. ”
"I got it......"
About five minutes later, the uncle named Ye Xingshu was helped in by an aunt of Ye Xingtong. He looked about seventy years old, and had a lot of gray hair that was not dyed black. The lack of elaborate attire and his staggering pace made Chen Wen suspect that he should actually be younger.
When Father Ye walked in front of him, he called softly: "Brother Xingshu." ”
This call seemed to re-ignite the light in Uncle Xingshu's eyes. He raised his head and saw clearly that it was Father Ye, and immediately stretched out his hands to give a deep hug.
What Chen Wen saw in Father Ye's eyes was concern and worry. He guessed that Ye Xingshu was not only single and lonely, but must have had a painful experience.
Ye Xingshu's spirits suddenly improved after seeing Ye Xingtong's family. He hugged Ye's father and shook hands with Ye's mother, and then walked to Chen Wen and Ye Xingtong's side.
"Yes, that's good."
He didn't shake hands with them, didn't even ask about their relationship. He just pursed his lips and smiled and looked at the two of them for a while, then patted Chen Wen and Ye Xingtong on the shoulders: "Children, you two are really a good match, I agree." ”
Ye Xingtong smiled politely, but couldn't help but peek at Chen Wen. She must have felt a little strange that this elder, whom she was not familiar with, said things like her father agreeing to the proposal of her son-in-law.
