Chapter 307: The Engagement Banquet with Each Mind
After settling the bill, the group also left the mall and got into the car.
On the way back to the Ling family's villa, Ling Xiaonuan kept looking at his sister and brother-in-law who were sitting in the back row without saying a word through the rearview mirror, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, it seemed that Guanzhe's words just now really made his brother-in-law very angry.
Ling Xiaohan's heart was also annoyed, why did Brother Guan Zhe mention these things before!? According to Leng Yuchen's temperament, he must be angry in his heart at this moment, and he will suffer now.
Thinking that with his sister and Lu Cheng here, Leng Yuchen shouldn't be too much for himself, Ling Xiaohan took a deep breath and tugged at Leng Yuchen's sleeve with courage: "What are you thinking?" β
Leng Yuchen glanced at the hand that was carefully tugging at the corner of his clothes, his face softened, and his tone was slightly cold: "I'm thinking about what Yun Guanzhe said just now!" β
Ling Xiaohan couldn't wait to bite off his tongue, why did he ask such a stupid question to break the deadlock!? It's miserable, it's like lifting a stone and shooting yourself in the foot!
Ling Xiaohan didn't dare to speak again, so he looked at the rearview mirror with a bitter face and a begging face, looking at his sister's embarrassed expression, Ling Xiaonuan sighed and explained for her: "In the past, we attended the parties or birthday banquets of some young people in the imperial capital, and on formal occasions, our sisters still went with their parents. β
Leng Yuchen raised his eyebrows, and whispered to Ling Xiaohan: "So, you and Yun Guanzhe have not appeared together on a formal occasion as a male and female companion!?" β
Yun Guanzhe's words just now made Leng Yuchen think of his little fiancΓ©e, in the eyes of the nobles of the imperial capital, she had always been Yun Guanzhe's female companion before, and she couldn't help but ignite a raging anger.
After listening to the explanation at this moment, I already had the answer in my heart, but I still confirmed it with the little woman who was cowering beside me.
Ling Xiaohan shook his head hurriedly: "No, I didn't have a male partner on formal occasions before." β
Hearing this, Leng Yuchen's heart calmed down a little, and the terrifying low pressure beside him also dissipated, and he looked at the scenery outside the window with a smile.
Although Leng Yuchen still didn't say a word, the other three people in the car felt his cloudy mood, and they also breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly said: The momentum that this man has refined in the mall is really not ordinary scary, and after a few minutes of anger, they feel that their hearts are going to stop!
After sending Lu Cheng back, the three of them returned to the Ling family's villa, and at this time, Ling Xiaoran was already sitting on the sofa in the living room, sipping tea, and continuing to study the information.
Lin Meiyun watched the three of them enter the door, took the bag and handed it to the maid beside her, and hurriedly said, "You haven't eaten yet, have you?" The kitchen has just prepared the meal, and your father has come back on purpose, so our family can finally have a good meal today! β
Compared with the Ling family before yesterday, the Ling family at this moment has a trace of the peaceful atmosphere on weekdays, although the battle with the Lin family and Bai Jiu is imminent, but the family has already made the goal clear, Ling Xiaoran and Leng Yuchen have been in the mall for a long time, and the family does not have the same worries as before.
Ling Xiaoran rarely returned home at noon in a few days, waiting for lunch with his daughters, but on the surface, he still said with a serious look: "The company has nothing to deal with today, I will go home and prepare for tomorrow's engagement banquet." β
Looking at the duplicitous Ling Xiaoran, Lin Meiyun sighed and said secretly: When I was in love with myself, I didn't have a lot of misunderstandings because of this temperament, and after being together for many years, I didn't have those worries in front of myself, but I was still like this in front of my daughter, I didn't express my concern, and I always complained to myself privately why my daughter was not close to me.
You really deserve it! Lin Meiyun scolded Leng Yuchen and his daughters while picking up vegetables, and said with concern: "Eat more, Xiaohan, have you gained weight recently?" Xiao Nuan, you've lost weight, eat more! β
Lin Meiyun's words made Ling Xiaohan glared at Leng Yuchen, blaming him for always feeding her! made her a little more mellow with the naked eye in such a short period of time.
Leng Yuchen felt that Ling Xiaohan was still a little thin, although he was a little fatter than before, so he continued to put vegetables in her bowl: "You are not fat, eat more!" β
In front of his parents, Ling Xiaohan didn't want to lose his temper with him, so he had to scold Leng Yuchen in his heart, but he kept eating the food in the bowl.
Looking at the completely different changes in the two daughters, Lin Meiyun's worried face jumped, and she said bitterly to Ling Xiaonuan: "Xiao Nuan! Look at your sister, since Yuchen's meticulous care, she is now more beautiful and healthy! Look at you again, I haven't seen you for a few days, I have lost weight again, and my complexion does not look as good as before, if you want me to say, you should listen to your mother, and quickly find someone who loves you and loves you, otherwise how can I and your father rest assured! β
Hearing Lin Meiyun mention her life's events at the dinner table again, Ling Xiaonuan's scalp was numb, and she was eating the rice in the bowl mechanically, hoping that she could finish it quickly and get rid of her mother's nagging earlier.
Looking at Ling Xiaonuan's expression, Ling Xiaoran said helplessly to his wife: "Let her decide Xiaonuan's affairs for herself!" Her own feelings are still the most important thing for her own liking, and feelings can't be rushed. β
Ling Xiaohan's eyes widened at this moment, and he raised his head from the rice bowl: "How can my sister decide for herself?!" How can you, who forced me to accept the marriage contract in the first place, be so double-standard? β
After the accusation, Ling Xiaohan felt the sudden low temperature beside him, and Leng Yuchen's quiet anger.
The man's deep voice, when it rang in his ears, seemed to be a whisper from hell: "What? Are you not satisfied? Or do you regret it? β
Ling Xiaohan, who realized that he had said the wrong thing, smiled stiffly: "No! I'm just thankful to my parents. β
Then he dogged Ling Xiaoran and Lin Meiyun and said loudly: "Thank you parents for making such a correct decision!" Thanks to your double standard, I can find happiness faster than my sister, solve lifelong events, and move towards the peak of life, thank you! β
After speaking, he stood up and bowed to Ling Xiaoran and Lin Meiyun, the two looked at each other and shook their heads, this little daughter didn't know if she was lucky or unlucky, although she found an excellent and ideal husband, how did she feel like she was being eaten?
Leng Yuchen knew from the beginning that Ling Xiaohan didn't mean that, but he suddenly had a hint of bad taste, so he teased her, but he didn't expect her to react so much, and she was unexpectedly cute.
I couldn't hold it anymore, the chill on my face receded, I smiled, attached it to the ear of the restless little woman, and whispered: "Teasing you, eat quickly!" β
Ling Xiaohan breathed a sigh of relief and came back to his senses, it turned out that he was playing her!? glared angrily at the man beside him, feeling unrelieved, and stepped on Leng Yuchen under the table again before continuing to eat.
Leng Yuchen snorted, feeling more and more that Ling Xiaohan was cute, eating with a smile on his face, calm and elegant.
Ling Xiaoran and his wife, who were far away from the seats, didn't notice this, and were still worried about the future family status of their daughter and son-in-law.
But Ling Xiaonuan, who was sitting opposite the two, saw this scene, looking at his worried parents, Ling Xiaonuan smiled and shook his head, although these two people had the upper hand before, but after a few contacts, I don't know when, the relationship between the two has subtly changed, and now they are obviously Leng Yuchen has been eaten!
The Ling family spent a beautiful day in such a comfortable and peaceful atmosphere.
The next day, it began to rain lightly in the morning, and the weather was gloomy and depressing.
Lin Siyi and Bai Jiu's engagement banquet kicked off in such weather.
Outside the Ling family's Imperial Hotel, the most luxurious high-end hotel in the imperial capital, there are expensive luxury cars parked, and almost all the leading families in China have been invited to this engagement banquet.
They didn't know anything about the break between the Ling family and the Lin family, and at this moment, eighty percent of them came to this engagement banquet for the sake of Lin Meixia's sister being Mrs. Ling.
When there were still five minutes before the engagement banquet began, Ling Xiaoran's family came to the hotel without hurrying, the family got out of the car, and the manager of the Imperial Hotel, who was not humble or arrogant just now, took the secretary to trot with an umbrella for a few people, and said to Ling Xiaoran with a smile: "Mr. Ling, we have arranged the most luxurious banquet hall in the hotel for Miss Lin's family." β
The manager, who was originally proud of his own inspiration, thought that he would hear Ling Xiaoran's praise, but he didn't expect to hear Ling Xiaoran snort coldly, and said without warmth: "Their family can't afford to be treated like this, but it's okay, the higher you climb now, the worse you will fall later." β
The Dorsett Hotel is one of the many branches of the Ling family, and there is no person in charge of major affairs on weekdays and will not go to the headquarters, and the headquarters is well known about the break between the Ling family and the Lin family, and only when he heard Ling Xiaoran's tone at this moment, the manager reacted.
My heart trembled a little, obediently, I felt that I had made a mistake this time! Fortunately, Mr. Ling didn't pursue it, otherwise the position of the manager he had worked so hard to get would not be guaranteed, and his family would not be able to drink the northwest wind in the future!
The manager didn't dare to speak anymore, and carefully led Ling Xiaoran's family to the door of the banquet hall, and then signaled the secretary next to him to open the door of the banquet hall.
The banquet hall, which was supposed to be chatting with each other, was attracted to the door because of the opening of the door.
When they saw that it was the famous Ling family in the imperial capital who entered the door, the people who were still surrounding the Lin family and the Bai family just now to say goodbye all gathered around Ling Xiaoran.
This is the Ling family, with a slight move in the imperial capital, there is a Ling family in the business world of the imperial capital.
Since the business district of the imperial capital has basically been monopolized by the Ling family in recent years, the rest are all small companies, outside of the Ling family, it is the Lin family, but people in the industry know that the Lin family can occupy a place in the upper class society of the imperial capital, thanks to Ling Xiaoran's care.
At this moment, in order to have some protection for their company to come to the imperial capital for development in the future, they all gathered around Ling Xiaoran to greet each other.
Lin Meixia originally enjoyed the treatment of the stars holding the moon, and since she was a child, she has been eager to be the focus of everyone on any occasion, but her sister Lin Meiyun always oppresses her in everything.
Today is the day of great joy for the Lin family, Lin Meixia, who thought that she would finally be able to get what she wanted, when everyone gathered around her to say hello, her vanity was greatly satisfied, and the whole person was fluttering.
The arrival of the Ling family made her originally lively surroundings deserted again.
Lin Meixia's hands under the table are clenched to death, Lin Meiyun! Just a little bit more proud!
Looking at the crowd gathered around, Ling Xiaoran thought that Leng Yuchen made a look, and Leng Yuchen took Ling Xiaohan and Lu Cheng to find an inconspicuous corner of the banquet hall and began to taste the food.
Ling Xiaohan took a bite of the cupcake that Leng Yuchen brought her on the plate, and put it down, facing everything unknown at this moment, she was a little flustered.
"Don't be afraid, uncle and I have our own plans, you just have to watch the show today!" Leng Yuchen rubbed Ling Xiaohan's hair lovingly and said in a low voice.
Ling Xiaohan still had a trace of worry: "When I came in, I didn't see Bai Jiu and Lin Siyi, I don't know why I always feel very flustered, as if something big happened." β
Leng Yuchen pursed his lips and said with a little seriousness: "Bai Jiu has some plans, last night my eyeliner detected this plan and told me, and my uncle and I deployed it overnight. β
