Chapter 36: The Ye Family's Birthday Banquet
"Okay......" The adjutant had a headache, so he could only listen to the arrangement and drove to the Ye family.
Today's Ye family is particularly lively.
Almost every year today, the dignitaries and nobles of the imperial capital city, as long as they have the right, will come to attend the birthday banquet of the Ye family brothers and sisters.
Except for a year ago, when Ye Rong went abroad to recuperate, there were no exceptions.
In the hall with a warm decoration and completely according to Ye Rong's preferences, men and women dressed in luxury pushed cups and changed lamps, chatting and laughing.
Those who have given gifts and said birthday wishes have begun to use this banquet to catch up, build relationships, and even find business.
For most people, any large-scale high-class banquet is a good opportunity to make money.
"Young Master Ye, I haven't looked at you for a while, if we have time, we will get together more, I won't say anything else today, happy birthday, you are the biggest today, just mention any requirements."
"Young Master Ye, yesterday I saw a necklace in the jewelry store and thought it was particularly suitable for Miss Ye, if you don't mind, you will accept it for Miss Ye, right?"
As he spoke, the man handed the gift box containing the necklace to Ye Yi.
Ye Yi didn't even look at the necklace, just drank wine and looked away with a smile, and had no intention of taking it at all.
Ye Rong's things don't need to be given by others, especially men, these people don't know that the birthday gifts they give to Ye Rong every year, no matter who gave them, were thrown away by Ye Yi.
He even took the things that his family sent.
The only gift that Ye Rong receives every year is his share, and even Murong Cheng gave her before, he threw it away.
Seeing that Ye Yi ignored him, the smile on his face was a little stiff, and he also felt very embarrassed.
I felt a little aggrieved in my heart, but I couldn't do anything to him.
After all, the Ye family is a century-old family with a solid foundation and a huge power, and it is the object that everyone wants to cooperate.
Even Ye Yi, who doesn't care about things and only spends his days drinking, is something that everyone wants to climb.
When the man was just about to go down the mentally retarded steps, a hand with nail polish took the car key first, and then the female voice remembered: "Then I will accept this gift for Sister Ye, thank you gentleman." ”
The woman took Ye Yi's arm and smiled and took the car keys away.
"Why are you here?" Ye Yi drank a little wine, and was a little bored and annoyed by this woman's appearance today.
"What did Young Master Ye say? It's your birthday today, and as your girlfriend, of course I'm here. "That woman is not bad-looking, and she has a good figure.
But it wasn't the woman Ye Yi took to the dessert shop a few days ago.
This Ye Yi really didn't insult his title of showman, changing a woman is like changing clothes.
The person who delivered the car was a little unhappy when he saw that the birthday gift he had bothered to prepare was taken away by a woman.
Young Master Ye's girlfriend? Pull it down, if you can stay by his side for a month, you are amazing, isn't this gift hers?
Although he was in an unhappy mood, he even wanted to get the car keys back, but because of Ye Yi's presence, he still secretly swallowed this breath.
Even if it's just a temporary girlfriend, he can't afford to offend.
"Then it's troublesome for this young lady to collect it on your behalf." The man finished and left.
"Young Master Ye, I also prepared a gift for you, you will definitely like it." The woman held Ye Yi's hand and rubbed it against him vigorously.
"Now that the gift has been delivered, leave quickly, this is not the place for you." Ye Yi said expressionlessly.
The woman's smile froze on her face, she didn't expect that she had been spoiled with all kinds of favors two days ago, and now she was so indifferent.
It seems that Ye Yi's heart is sweet, but he never takes a woman home, is really real.
But how could he leave so easily?
"Young Master Ye, you have to open this gift and accept it in person." The woman hooked her cherry red lips and leaned close to Ye Yi's ear.
Ye Yi looked at her sideways, without any warmth in his eyes, and suddenly smiled extremely gently, but his eyes were still cold.
The woman thought that Ye Yi understood what the gift in her mouth was? I thought that men are really the same, who knows: "If you don't get out, I'll strip you naked and give everyone to admire." ”
When he said this, he not only smiled gently, but also spoke in a gentle tone that touched people's hearts.
It's just that these words made the woman's face white, and his eyes made her even colder.
The woman was stunned, looking at Ye Yi's face full of smiles and tenderness, and she forgot to say anything.
"Miss Ye, here"
“……”
Several voices rang out, and there was some noise in the hall.
Ye Yima, who heard the movement, turned his head and looked at Ye Rong, who was wearing the dress he had personally selected and walking down the stairs.
The coldness in his eyes dissipated, replaced by heartfelt tenderness and domineering possessiveness.
When they saw those men staring at Ye Rong unscrupulously, a dangerous aura permeated them.
Ye Rong walked to the hall and looked around, but he didn't see the person he wanted to see the most.
Ye Rong, what are you thinking? He's not coming, don't wait.
Thinking of this, her heart was full of loss and sadness.
Suddenly sensing that a gaze was too enthusiastic, Ye Rong looked at it, but saw that Ye Yi was looking at himself.
That gaze was scorching, which made Ye Rong a little scared and at a loss.
Ye Rong wondered if he had done something wrong?
After dealing with the people around him for a few words, Ye Rong came to Ye Yi's side: "Brother, happy birthday." ”
"Happy birthday." Ye Yi came back to his senses and replied lightly.
"Brother, I have prepared a birthday gift for you, and I have already sent it to your room."
"Hmm." Ye Yi nodded and didn't say anything.
"Hey, brother, is this your girlfriend?" Ye Rong looked at the woman next to him who was holding Ye Yi's arm affectionately, but looked at the woman who seemed to be frightened by something.
Hearing Ye Rong's question, Ye Yi's face immediately darkened.
"Not anymore." Ye Yi pulled his arm out of the woman's hand and said expressionlessly.
And the woman came back to her senses, but her heart was full of embarrassment and unwillingness.
"Miss Ye, I came uninvited, it's a little abrupt, I wish you a happy birthday, you are getting more and more beautiful" Although the woman was flustered, she was not a person who had never seen the scene, and immediately replied happily.
"Thank you." Ye Rong responded politely.
The three of them stood together, and in such a lively hall, the atmosphere here was a little awkward.
Ye Rongzheng was looking for a reason to walk away, so he was confronted by two rich sons who came over with wine.
"Miss Ye, you are so beautiful today."
"Yes, it's even more dazzling than last year, it's just Chang'e!"
"Thank you." Ye Rong smiled, but his mind was not here at all.
The woman next to her, she glanced at Ye Yi, who was not there, gritted her teeth, and finally remained silent and left to go elsewhere.
"Miss Ye, you have a drink on your birthday today." One of the men handed Ye Rong a glass of wine.
Ye Rong hesitated for a moment and glanced at Ye Yi beside him.
Just as he was about to take the wine glass, Ye Yi's somewhat cold voice sounded: "Girl, don't drink." ”
Ye Rong's hand to take the wine stopped in mid-air, and after a pause of two seconds, he withdrew his hand and looked at the man: "I'm sorry, I'm not feeling well, let's drink this wine next time." ”
"It's okay." The man took the wine back and secretly glanced at Ye Yi.
Unexpectedly, Ye Yi suddenly met her gaze, and the eyes that seemed to want to devour him alive made him shudder.
Is this still the usual young master Ye who loves to joke?
Knowing that Ye Yi was in a bad mood, he didn't wait to see them The two of them left very interestingly.
Ye Yi's face also improved, and he looked at Ye Rong: "Not feeling well?" ”
"What?" Ye Rong suddenly didn't react.
"No, I said that on purpose."
Such an obvious excuse, you can't hear it?
"Young Master Ye, long time no see." A voice broke the embarrassment between the two men.
"Uninvited, Young Master Ye won't mind, right?" Vikas said with a smile.
"How so? We haven't had a drink in a long time. It's just right today. Ye Yi raised his eyebrows.
"Then let's get drunk today and don't go home."
"Brother, is this your friend?" Ye Rong next to him asked curiously.
"Well, friends I haven't seen in a long time." Ye Yi replied lightly.
"Are you Miss Ye?" Vikas said in surprise.
"Hmm." Ye Rong nodded.
"I heard that today is also Miss Ye's birthday, I don't know what you girls like, I came here abruptly today, I have the opportunity to make up for you again, and I only have a happy birthday today." Vikas smiled apologetically.
"Thank you."
"What? Are you going to settle here this time? Ye Yi took a sip of wine, looked at Vikas and asked casually.
"Yancheng is a place that people really like, but even if you settle down, you will leave after negotiating these few orders of business, and you will come to my imperial capital city to play if you have time."
Ye Yi chuckled and did not speak.
"Brother, you talk, I'll go out to breathe." Ye Rong made an excuse and prepared to leave.
"Hmm." Ye Yi didn't say anything.
After Ye Rong left, Ye Yi's face sank instantly.
Looking at it, Vikas warned in a cold voice: "I don't care what your purpose is, it's best not to approach Ye Rong." ”
"Young Master Ye, what does this mean?" Cass looked confused.
"You like to play dumb, I have a way to keep you stupid." His gaze suddenly became murderous.
"Young Master Ye, did you misunderstand me something? I don't even know your sister. ”
"I'm just giving you a warning, I hope you remember." Ye Yi looked at Vikas coldly.
"Hehe, I really don't know what you're talking about." Vikas said.
"Isn't that Second Master Jun?"
"Where?"
"Look, Second Master Jun is here." There was a noise at the door, and two figures walked in.
"It's really Second Master Jun, I didn't expect him to come to the birthday banquet of the Ye family brothers and sisters, I've been here so many times, why haven't I seen him before?"
"It's normal to be able to come, the relationship between the two of them is already very close."
"But I seem to have heard that Second Master Jun is at odds with Young Master Ye for Murong Cheng," the man whispered.
"I don't know about this, anyway, I was quite surprised to see Second Master Jun, you must know that no matter what kind of banquet usually, it is very rare to see him attend, ordinary people please don't move, tonight is a good opportunity, I have to go and brush up on him in front of him for a while."
The appearance of a man made all the women at the banquet talk about it, but no one dared to come forward to talk to him.
A few people with prominent family backgrounds and a little bolder stepped forward to toast, but they were ignored by King Junyan.
King Junyan walked to the sofa, and the old man Ye who was chatting with a few friends walked over.
"King Yan?" Old Master Ye was a little surprised and surprised when he saw King Junyan.
"Hello Grandpa Gu." King Junyan stepped forward to say hello.
