Chapter 228: Changing Positions
So many people want to sit with Ye Shaochen, it's impossible. Ye Shaochen doesn't have a doppelganger technique, so he can sit next to everyone. Moreover, the rules of the Ye family are very strict, and living together and eating must be arranged according to seniority.
The one who sat down was Old Man Ye, the eldest uncle and the second uncle on the left and right, and the rest of the people also sat down in such a position. Among the juniors, Ye Shaochen and Ye Shengxing are the most prominent among the juniors, and they are the two of them after the uncles and uncles sit down.
The two sat down separately, and the old man glanced at Ji Ning, who was still standing next to him, and said, "Ning Ning, you sit next to Shao Chen." ”
Originally, according to the rules, Ji Ning was going to sit next to Ye Shengxing. At this moment, the old man suddenly spoke, and Ye Luqing, who was about to sit down, paused.
Everyone looked this way, Ye Luqing had already bent down, and he didn't know whether to stand up or sit down at this moment, the false expression on his embarrassed face couldn't be maintained, and his face looked dark and gloomy.
Ji Ning was also stunned, she didn't expect the old man to say this. Looking at Ye Luqing again, he also happened to look over here. Looking at each other, Ye Luqing's eyes can kill.
"Grandpa, I can sit anywhere." Ji Ning opened his mouth and said. She is not a clingy little woman, even if Ye Shaochen is not around, she will not feel at a loss.
The most important thing is that on such an occasion, she is treated specially, which will definitely cause dissatisfaction among others. Others didn't show it, but looking at Ye Luqing's family, Ji Ning felt that it was enough.
At this time, Ye Luqing breathed a sigh of relief and sat straight on the chair. How could I have thought that the old man didn't listen to what Ji Ning said, and said coldly to Ye Luqing: "You didn't hear what I just said? ”
Everyone didn't dare to move, and looked at Ye Luqing fixedly, watching Ye Luqing's face change from black to blue and then to white, which was even more exciting than the face change in Peking Opera.
Ning Ning attended a family gathering for the first time, and she was inevitably nervous, so she sat next to Shao Chen. Why didn't you think of that? The old man asked in a deep voice.
The rest of the people didn't dare to say anything, they certainly didn't expect that. What's more, I didn't expect that the old man, who has always paid attention to the rules, would make an exception for Ji Ning to change his seat.
Thinking like this, the gazes they looked at Ji Ning became different. There are incredulous and envious.
Among them, Ye Linlin's jealousy was the most obvious, and her eyes were about to pop out. She said to the old man: "Rules are rules, why should she let her when she first came." Lu Qing was already sitting there, and it was troublesome to change positions. ”
Although Ye Linlin does not have the consciousness of uniting her family on weekdays, she will still speak for Ye Luqing at this moment. On the one hand, she didn't want her house to be seen clearly, and more importantly, she didn't like Ji Ning, because she didn't want to see Ji Ning pressing Ye Luqing.
"Is it troublesome to change positions, is it troublesome to eat?" Ye Shaochen raised his head lightly and said this lightly. Although the volume is low, there is an invisible pressure in the tone, the kind that can overwhelm people.
Hearing this, Ye Linlin was stunned for a moment, and then said: "We are talking about changing positions, what are you talking about eating!" ”
"We're just talking about what's more troublesome." Ye Shaochen said lightly, his slowness was in stark contrast to Ye Linlin's impatience.
"Ye Shaochen, don't play word games with me. She is an outsider, why should she compete for a position with Lu Qing. Ye Linlin was annoyed.
As soon as the words ended, everyone heard the sound of a lap on the table. Everyone followed the sound and saw that the old man's face was ugly, and it was the uncle next to him who slapped the table.
Ye Linlin, whose brain calmed down instantly, realized what she said on what occasion, looking at the old man's face, Ye Linlin's back was cold, and her forehead was full of cold sweat.
Her lips were pale, and she said tremblingly: "Uncle...... Uncle, I mean...... I didn't mean that, I just ......" she was already incoherent.
The old man didn't want to listen to her explanation at all, and glanced at the uncle next to him, who immediately spoke: "Linlin, you are not in a good mental state, go back and rest first, and come to see your uncle next time." ”
In a word, Ye Linlin's face was like ashes.
She knew what that meant, and it wasn't as simple as letting her go back to rest. Missing the Ye family's important dinner can almost be said to have missed the Ye family's important decision.
If she really goes back, there will be no place for her in the Ye family in the future, and the rest of the people will not walk in with her.
The more I thought about it, the more terrible I felt, Ye Linlin's legs were weak and she almost collapsed to the ground, but her mother was still supporting her by the side.
"Uncle, I'm fine, I don't have to go back to rest." Ye Linlin took a lot of effort to say a word, and the rest of her strength was used to stand.
Seeing that the old man and the elders didn't speak, Ye Linlin quickly shifted her gaze to her mother, wanting her to help her say a few words.
Ye Linlin's mother felt sorry for her daughter, and when she opened her mouth and was about to speak, she was glanced at by the second uncle, and she was so frightened that she quickly shut up.
Ye Linlin panicked: "Uncle......"
At this time, Ye Luqing also realized that something was wrong, so he didn't care what was not in the position, so he quickly stood up and pleaded for Ye Linlin. But as soon as the words came to his mouth, he thought that if he followed and pleaded, the old man would definitely be angry with himself.
He was already dragged down by Ye Linlin, and now that Ye Linlin is so bad that he can't participate in this family gathering, then he will have no chance to come back to life in the future.
Thinking about it, Ye Luqing clenched his fists, choked back the words, and stood quietly aside, waiting for the old man to rearrange the seat.
"I don't think she's in good health, she can't walk." Uncle spoke. He waved his hand out the door, and several servants entered, "You send her back." ”
This is to make up your mind not to let Ye Linlin stay.
When Ye Linlin heard this, her heart was like ashes, and she quickly ran to Ji Ning and knelt down, hugging Ji Ning's thigh: "Brother and sister, brother and sister." She shouted excitedly.
Ji Ning lowered her head and looked at Ye Linlin unfazed. secretly moved her legs, and after noticing that she was held by Ye Linlin and couldn't move, she didn't move again.
She heard Ye Linlin crying miserably: "Brother and sister, you help your sister speak, my sister didn't say those words on purpose, she was just angry." ”
Ye Linlin put her hope on Ji Ning.
I believe that as long as Ji Ning speaks, the old man will definitely change his mind.
However, Ye Linlin cried for a while, but Ji Ning was unmoved. The calm look was as if there was no one standing in front of him, let alone someone crying.
Xu was tired of hearing it, so the old man slapped the table and asked Ji Ning: "Ning Ning, what do you have to say?" ”
Ye Shaochen also looked at Ji Ning, but there was no other meaning in his eyes, he wanted Ji Ning to make his own decision.
There will be many such situations in the future, and people who are angry with Ji Ning will definitely try their best to embarrass Ji Ning, or want to frame Ji Ning. He can't be by Ji Ning's side all the time, and he can't help her forever.
Of course, Ye Shaochen believes that even if he is not there, Ji Ning can deal with these situations well. Her fame was not blown out indiscriminately, but Ji Ning herself step by step.
Ji Ning received Ye Shaochen's gaze and smiled at him, his smile was very calm. Then he blinked his eyes and signaled Ye Shaochen not to worry, she could solve it herself.
Ye Shaochen smiled, and then put on a posture of watching a good show, and no longer had other ideas.
Ji Ning looked at the old man and said, "Grandpa, I don't have anything to say. ”
When Ye Linlin heard this, she hugged Ji Ning's thigh harder, and cried heartbreakingly: "Brother and sister, why don't you have anything to say, help me plead for mercy." ”
Ji Ning looked down at Ye Linlin, not hiding the sympathy and pity in her eyes at all, and even a trace of disdain.
"Sister, you have to solve the wrong things yourself, I'm an outsider, I can't help you." Ji Ning secretly exerted his strength, broke away from Ye Linlin's hand, and did not say some high-sounding words because the elders of the Ye family were here.
Ji Ning quickly walked to the side and distanced herself from Ye Linlin.
She continued: "I'm not a charity either, and I'm not obligated to help people with things. ”
Ji Ning's voice was very unkind, and many people present frowned. I probably didn't think that Ji Ning didn't give any face at all, and in front of the old man, he didn't speak tactfully.
At this time, Ye Shaochen stood up, came over to take Ji Ning's hand, and said to her, "Okay, you're hungry too, hurry up and sit down to eat." ”
After speaking, he pulled Ji Ning to his place, pulled out a chair and let Ji Ning sit down, and after Ji Ning sat down, he sat down slowly.
As for Ye Linlin, no one paid attention to her at all. She was also stunned by Ji Ning's reaction, and forgot to cry, so she looked at Ji Ning incredulously in such a daze.
This is probably the most unkind woman she has ever seen.
And since Ji Ning finished speaking, the old man has not spoken, and everyone is not sure whether the old man is angry or what.
However, these people naturally hope that the old man will be angry.
After a while, the old man knocked on the ground with his cane, and the uncle suddenly understood, and said to the servants who came in: "What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and send the young lady back." ”
These people didn't say a word, and hurriedly stepped forward to set Ye Linlin up. In less than two minutes, Ye Linlin was taken away, and her crying voice became quieter and quieter, and finally disappeared.
The atmosphere in the hall dropped suddenly, and the silence made people's scalps tingle, and Ye Luqing didn't dare to come out, trying to make himself a transparent person.
After a long time, the old man slowly spoke: "Sit down, don't delay the meal." ”
Only then did everyone dare to sit down, but their movements were very slow, for fear that they would accidentally sit in the wrong position. Fortunately, the old man didn't say anything after that.
After everyone sat down, the old man called Ji Ning's name. Ji Ning raised his head and looked at the old man Shangye.
Her gaze was not humble or silent, and her back was straight. There is respect that juniors should have, but there is also their own arrogance, and the more the old man looks at it, the happier he becomes.
