Chapter 361
Daddy Xiao's birthday was Friday, the family ate birthday noodles together in the morning, and said happy birthday to the old man, Ye Linglan also said that the birthday gift could not be shown to him until the evening, Daddy Xiao smiled from ear to ear, and said yes repeatedly.
Ye Linglan didn't have many classes today, and there were no one or two classes in the morning, but he didn't stay at home, Wen Xingying said that they had a lot of relatives and friends, plus some colleagues and subordinates, there would be a lot of people who would come to see their father during the day, Ye Linglan immediately ran away when she heard it, so the drudgery of picking up customers at home was all pushed to Wen Xingying.
When he came to the school, Shen Haining gave him the gift he had made, he opened it and looked at it, not to mention how satisfied he was, and hurriedly asked Zhao Yu to go to the small gift shop inside the school with him to wrap it.
After staying at the school for a day, Ye Linglan received a call from Wen Xingying at half past six in the evening, because the birthday banquet officially started at eight o'clock in the evening, and now those relatives and friends in Wen Xingying's house will arrive at around seven twenty o'clock, and other guests will arrive one after another from half past seven, as for Wen Xingying and Ye Linglan, who are responsible for standing at the door to pick up guests, of course, they have to go a little earlier.
Now that the ballroom has been set up and the band is there, but there is no food on the long table, Wen Xingying was talking to several managers of the company, Ye Linglan walked up to him and stood, looking at the entire ballroom.
The first thought was that it would be great to come to a banquet in such a place.
Venus Hotel was originally a six-star hotel, not to mention the luxury of the ballroom decoration, according to Wen Xingying, many of the guests invited this time were famous business giants, and they could talk about business, Shen Haining was more willing to make friends, and Zhao Yu said that the sons and brothers who could be invited by Wen Xingying would not look bad in theory, and they could hook up with a few. Ye Linglan didn't think the same as them, what he was interested in was being able to dance with Wen Xingying, plus, eat delicious food!
Really, Wen Xingying showed him the menu, the delicious food at the banquet can be described as all over the mountains, and it will be replenished immediately after eating one, Ye Linglan said at that time that he must eat from one end of the long table to the other.
However, he didn't forget Wen Xingying's reply to himself: "I'm afraid that you will fall to the ground before you finish eating, don't blame me for ignoring you then." β
It's a pity that there is nothing to eat yet, Ye Linglan only drank a bowl of porridge at night in order to save her stomach, and she was already a little hungry.
"Here we are." Wen Xingying talked to others for a long time and finally noticed him, reached out and held his hand, "Is it cold?" β
Now the temperature outside is below zero, fortunately, there are only two light snows during the winter, which is not outrageous, but Ye Linglan has never been in the habit of wearing hats and gloves, every time he shows his head and walks through the north wind, he feels thousands of knives rushing towards him, in fact, his body is really not cold now, the only thing he feels is his hands and ears.
Wen Xingying is different from him, he stays at home all day today, and takes the car when he goes out, and now his hands are as warm as a stove, Ye Linglan blinked and looked at him with a face: "It's not cold." β
Wen Xingying took his hand and took him away from those people, frowned and whispered, "Why did you come here dressed like this?" β
"......" Ye Linglan looked at him, then at himself, and then at the others, and immediately opened his mouth slightly in surprise - miserable, everyone else was wearing a suit or tuxedo, only he was wearing an overcoat!
"I remember I told you in the morning to bring my gown to school, right? Didn't you bring it with you? Why not wear it? β
ββ¦β¦ Forgot ......" Ye Linglan was so annoyed that he did bring a dress to school, and he was going to change it before he came over, but Wen Xingying called him earlier than he expected, and he came over before he had time to think about that problem!
Now the dress is still alone in his dormitory......
"You," Wen Xingying's lips twitched twice, "don't expect me to ask you to dance like this." β
"Don't," Ye Linglan took his hand with a bitter face, and said pitifully, "Then I'll go back to school now to get it?" Or let Zhao Yu bring it over? Won't you just delay this moment? β
Wen Xingying shook his head speechlessly, and walked towards the end of the side of the restaurant with him: "Come with me, I'll prepare clothes for you." β
"Oh...... What the! Ye Linglan raised her head suddenly, "Did you prepare it for me?" Hey, how could you possibly prepare for me? Can you calculate in advance that I forgot to wear it? You ......"
Wen Xingying: "......"
Every ballroom in the Venus Hotel has several small rooms like this, as a temporary lounge for guests, Ye Linglan didn't know about this before, because when Wen Xingying opened the small door to show the small room in front of him, his eyes immediately lit up.
The small room is not big, the lighting is very soft, there are two rows of couches against the two walls, and there is a coffee table in front, revealing a bit of comfort and warmth.
Ye Linglan saw a bag next to the armrest of the sofa opposite, which should be the clothes Wen Xingying brought him.
Sure enough, the people around him walked over and handed the bag to him: "Hurry up and change it." β
"Good!"
The one Wen Xingying took was a suit of the same style and color as the one he was wearing now, it looked very beautiful, but Ye Linglan hadn't seen it before, and I didn't know if it was the person who bought it and kept it ready to use when he needed it, Ye Linglan stood at the end of the room and changed it while embarrassing, he must have felt that he was too off-chain.
Wen Xingying was already sitting on the sofa, Ye Linglan stood in front of him after changing, stretched out his arms and turned in a circle: "Is it good-looking?" β
"Beautiful." Wen Xingying nodded. Dancing God eBook
The latter raised his arm and looked at his watch: "Well, there are still ten minutes to go out to pick up and welcome guests, even if I can't hold on to waiting for someone to come in and find me, it is you who have more problems." β
Ye Linglan couldn't help but smile, sure enough, he couldn't say the word "picking up customers".
"By the way, I have something to tell you," Wen Xingying continued, "My eldest brother, Wen Jingying will come over on time at eight o'clock, and I will introduce you to you when the time comes, Wen Jingying knows your name, you just call him eldest brother." β
Ye Linglan: "......"
"I'll show you a picture of him first." Wen Xingying said and took out her mobile phone.
Ye Linglan let go of him, Wen Xingying brought up Wen Jingying's photo and handed it to Ye Linglan, who took it and took a look, Wen Jingying on it was still in a suit and leather shoes, his appearance had not changed, but he was younger, not to mention how radiant he was under the sun.
"Wow, it's really ......" Ye Linglan hurriedly closed her mouth, the word "handsome" almost popped out, he looked at Wen Xingying with palpitations, and returned the phone to him, "I know." β
Wen Xingying turned off the screen: "Except for Wen Jingying, I will introduce you to other relatives when they come, you just follow me, Wen Jingying's mother will not come, she never attends on such occasions." β
Ye Linglan didn't know what to say, so she just nodded.
Finally about to officially meet Wen Jingying at the Xiao family, Ye Linglan actually had a feeling that a lot of truths were finally about to surface, if he hadn't seen it before, maybe his feelings were not so deep now, at this time he couldn't wait to see how Wen Jingying and Wen Xingying would get along.
There was another unspeakable pain in his heart, for Wen Xingying.
The two returned to the hall, and it didn't take long for more than 20 people to walk in around Dad Xiao, Wen Xingying and Ye Linglan greeted and helped the old man to the main seat of the table and sat down, and the former motioned to Waiter to start serving.
Ye Linglan looked at Dad Xiao, the old man wore a bright red cotton jacket today, not to mention how festive, in fact, although Dad is in his fifties this year, he still looks very young and energetic, so no one in the family will really call him "old man", for fear that he will be unhappy.
Waiter served the wine first, and from the first person who came up with the dish, Ye Linglan's eyes shone brighter and brighter, and the dish could not be finished for a while, and in the end, there were sixty or seventy plates from the beginning of the long table all the way to the end.
Ye Linglan felt that her saliva was about to flow out!
The banquet belongs to the buffet mode, each guest can go to the cabinet at the end of the table to get a set of tableware, and take what they want to eat, Xiao's father's plate is directly brought by Waiter, and a very beautiful girl who should be the niece of the Xiao family is giving him vegetables.
Ye Linglan's feet were almost uncontrollably about to walk towards the cupboard, but a hand came out of his side and grabbed him, and Wen Xingying's low voice said in his ear: "Follow me to toast." With that, he handed him a glass of juice.
"Can I eat something first?" Ye Linglan held his hand, and his eyes were about to burst into water.
Wen Xingying: "...... At the very least, I have to toast my dad and a few uncles and aunts in my family, and then I'll have to go with me. β
Ye Linglan: "......" For the first time in his life, he regretted being Wen Xingying's fiancΓ©e......
The relatives of Wen Xingying's family who were the same generation as his father were now sitting close to Xiao's father, and the waiter behind them had already poured them wine, Wen Xingying toasted them one by one, and introduced Ye Linglan, who smiled and followed Wen Xingying's salutation, and took a sip of the ...... in his cup Grape juice.
"Oh, this guy looks so handsome." Wen Xingying's aunt was full of smiles, took Ye Linglan's hand and patted it.
Finally finished toasting, Ye Linglan immediately rushed over and took two sets of utensils and ran back, at this time Wen Xingying was talking to the two men who should be his cousins, Ye Linglan was very wise not to step forward, so he took a small piece of steak from the plate in front of him and put it in his mouth, and immediately Spartan......
It's so delicious, it's so delicious!
He took a little of each dish from the nearest plate and put it on his plate and began to feast on it.
However, he only had time to eat a few steaks, a few abalone slices and a lobster ball, but Wen Xingying grabbed the plate and threw it back on the table, grabbed his arm and dragged him to the door: "Let's go, welcome guests." β
ββ¦β¦ Hey, can you let me take a few more bites!! β¦β¦β
Ye Linglan was about to vomit blood and die.
This banquet stipulates that the guests must hold invitations, and there are two Waiters at the door who are responsible for checking, most of the guests are known to Wen Xingying, he is responsible for greeting, and Ye Linglan is standing beside him and nodding his head.
Ye Linglan invited all classmates or seniors from their school, and everyone cooperated to call Wen Xingying "Brother Ye". At 7:45, the band began to play, and immediately guests came to the dance floor to dance, and then Zhao Yushen Haining arrived together, and the former also brought his boyfriend.
"Brother Ye is good." Shen Haining was also alone, and after saying hello to Wen Xingying, he went to congratulate Father Xiao on his birthday, while Zhao Yu pulled Ye Linglan away from Wen Xingying and whispered, "I said, is Brother Ye's big brother here?" β
