Chapter 182: A Birthday Banquet with a Strange Atmosphere
That's right, this "Father's Light" was indeed sent to Ning Xi by Master Abel.
To be exact, it was given to Alin.
When I was in Milan, in the live broadcast of the confrontation with Shao Jiatong, Master Abel, as one of the witnesses, admired Ning Xi very much.
Then he asked Ning Xi to have a meal, saying that he saw a trace of the old man on Ning Xi's body, and gave this brooch to her as a gift.
Hearing that this brooch turned out to be so valuable, Ning Jianye felt a lot of emotion in his heart.
The light of the father, the love of the father shines brightly.
Thinking back to Ning Xi's attitude towards Ning Xi after he came to Ning's house, he suddenly felt a touch of guilt.
Does he deserve this brooch?
Just as he was thinking, the butler hurried in and whispered a few words in his ear.
Ning Jianye's expression changed suddenly, and he hurriedly got up: "Xiaoxi, you go out with me to pick up people." β
"Me? Pick up whom? β
Ning Xi pointed at herself, not knowing why.
Casually put the brooch on the coffee table into his coat pocket, Ning Jianye gave Ning Xi a look, and hurriedly walked outside.
Ning Xi, who was dazed, had to hurry up.
As soon as the two of them came out of the living room, they saw two cars parked in the open space in front of the villa.
A familiar touch of black made Ning Xi's eyes narrow slightly, and he said in his heart, why did he come?
Just thinking about it, the car door opened, and the person who stepped down from the cab was Gu Tingjun.
And the person who came out of the other car surprised Ning Xi even more.
"Teacher, why are you here too?"
Seeing Shui Wuyue and Gu Tingjun walking towards him, Ning Xi felt in a trance.
Shui Wuyue raised her head and wanted to touch Ning Xi's head, but a chill around her made his already raised hand arc in the air, and finally landed on Ning Xi's shoulder.
"Today is my uncle's birthday, let's congratulate you."
Shui Wuyue explained to Ning Xi and glanced at her.
Following his gaze, Ning Xi looked at Gu Tingjun, who was pulling his face.
Since that day's cocktail party, she hasn't seen Gu Tingjun again.
Originally, the two people who were still active in the drinking group established by Che Yan both chose to remain silent.
Sometimes Ning Xi would peep at the screen and watch them chat, but she didn't see Gu Tingjun say anything.
The two people, who had no communication, met again, and Ning Xi couldn't find any words to break the silence for a while.
Coupled with Gu Tingjun looking at her coldly, as if waiting for her to speak, the atmosphere fell into embarrassment.
"Welcome, welcome to Mr. Gu and Master Shui." In the end, it was Ning Jianye who came out to solve the siege.
Gu Tingjun glanced at Ning Xi and said to Ning Jianye: "Happy birthday Mr. Ning, this is our gift to you." β
"Thank you, thank you! Xiaoxi, take it quickly. β
Ning Jianye couldn't close his mouth with a smile, and hurriedly urged Ning Xi.
Ning Xi reacted at this time, quickly took the bag in the hands of Gu Tingjun and Shui Wuyue, followed them, and entered the living room.
Looking at the tall back in front of him, Ning Xi had mixed feelings in her heart.
Obviously he has already drawn a line with him, why does he still appear in front of her?
And she herself is too uncontrollable, and the moment she saw Gu Tingjun, she actually had a sour feeling of wanting to cry.
As soon as Gu Tingjun and Shui Wuyue entered the living room, the atmosphere suddenly froze.
Zhao Yibei, who had always been at odds with Gu Tingjun, stood up as soon as possible.
It's not that he welcomes Gu Tingjun much, but in the Ning family, he has to give Ning Jianye some face.
Although he didn't think much of Ning Jianye, the surface work still had to be done.
The eyes of the two archrivals met in the air, and a few rounds of battle were fought in an instant.
"Mr. Gu."
"Zhao Dong."
Seeing this, Ning Jianye, as the master, had a big head.
How could he have forgotten that these two people had never dealt with each other.
Ning Jianye was afraid that they would quarrel with him, and it would only be him who would be difficult.
The gods fight, and the pond fish suffer!
Whether it is Gu Tingjun or Zhao Yibei, or Shui Wuyue, as long as they can invite their birthday party, anyone will be excited.
However, now, as soon as there were three of them, Ning Jianye was about to cry.
Alas, he obviously just wanted to have a simple birthday, but when these big guys came, Ning Jianye really didn't know whether he should laugh or cry.
The most embarrassing person present was Ning Xuan, one was her ex-fiancΓ© and the other was her current boyfriend.
It's just that neither of these two people looked at her, which made her a little lost.
"What are you all doing here?"
A strange sound broke the strange atmosphere in the living room, it was Zhao Shulan who happened to come out of the kitchen supervisor, and when she saw so many people standing, she subconsciously said.
If you look closely, it turned out to be Gu Tingjun, and her face was a little bad.
"Yes, since everyone has arrived, let's have dinner."
Ning Xi, who packed up her emotions, spoke at the right time.
In this way, Ning Jianye's birthday banquet began, and the atmosphere at the table was very good, well, it was very good on the surface.
As a birthday star, Ning Jianye has always been worried about these gods and Buddhas who cannot be offended, and he doesn't know how to eat.
The hostess Zhao Shulan on the side had her eyes drifting towards Ning Xi from time to time, but when Ning Xi looked at her, she hurriedly looked away.
Ning Xuan, who was next to her mother, didn't notice Zhao Shulan's weirdness, and her heart was very blocked.
The reason why she brought Zhao Yibei back today was to make some trouble for Ning Xi.
After all, Ning Xi is alone, and she has Zhao Yibei's backing, so when she saw Ning Xi giving gifts, she was aggressive.
However, what she didn't expect was that not only Ning Xi pressed her on the gift, but even Gu Tingjun and Shui Wuyue actually came!
This made Ning Xuan feel very aggrieved.
The relatively calm people on the entire dining table were Gu Tingjun, Shui Wuyue, Zhao Yibei and Ning Xi.
I don't know what the other three are thinking, just saying that Ning Xi's calm is the result of deliberate disguise.
There's no way, who told Gu Tingjun to sit next to her.
It's not the first time I've sat down to eat with Gu Tingjun, but Ning Xi is nervous now.
He looked straight ahead the whole time without looking at Gu Tingjun.
While chatting with Ning Jianye about inconsequential topics, Gu Tingjun's afterglow stayed on Ning Xi.
Even though she hadn't looked at herself, he could sense her nervousness from her trembling eyelashes.
Ning Xi didn't know that her current demeanor was like a frightened rabbit, and her whole person was shrunk into a ball, which was very cute.
Her appearance successfully pleased Gu Tingjun, and she couldn't help but want to tease her.
As he was pulling the rice in the bowl without saying a word, Ning Xi suddenly felt that he had an extra hand on his knee hidden under the tablecloth.
In addition to being frightened, Ning Xi almost bit her tongue, turned her head suddenly, and glared at the man next to her, but saw that his hands were covered by the tablecloth, but his face was talking to Ning Jianye seriously, as if the person who touched her knee was not him.
Ning Xi, who was ignored, wanted to punch him angrily!
There are so many people here now! What does this bastard want to do!
