Chapter 13: The Betrothal Feast
Until the evening to attend the banquet, Gu Meng did not see the rest of the Liu family, including Liu Xufei's mother, Liu Xufei said that her mother has always disliked going out, and she likes to stay in the room all day when her leg is not injured, and now that her leg is injured, no one wants to see her, plus no one has to pick her up when she comes back today, her mother is depressed, and her mother will take her to see her when she is in a better mood in two days.
In the evening, Tang Yifan called and said that he would send a car to pick it up, at first he was surprised how he would know the phone number of the Liu family, but then I thought about it, with Tang Yifeng's ability and the background of the Liu family in Shanghai, it was so easy to get a phone.
Tonight's Wanhuamen is definitely the most lively place in the whole Shanghai, although the Tang family's power is mainly spread in the Fengcheng area, but the influence in Shanghai should not be underestimated, after all, Tang Zhenshan became famous in a young war, and his prestige has already spread, more or less to give some face, not to mention, Tang Dashuai can have a son for Tang San, who dares not to come to the welcome banquet he held for his son?
"Wow!" Liu Xufei sighed as she walked inside: "This Tang family actually has such a great influence, and these people are all people with heads and faces in Shanghai!" ”
"Will anyone from your house come?" Gu Meng asked.
Liu Xufei shrugged: "I don't know, they went to the engagement banquet I attended today, it is estimated ~~~" Before he finished speaking, he saw a familiar figure: "Big brother?!" ”
Liu Guyuan also saw Liu Yufei, his brows furrowed, he walked over quickly, and said in a low voice: "Why are you here?" Is this the occasion something you can come to? Hurry back! “
I haven't seen each other for a few years, the first thing we said when we met was not a greeting, but an accusation, Liu Xufei's heart suddenly became cold, even if she was the daughter of a concubine, she was also surnamed Liu, why couldn't she come on this occasion?
Gu Meng glanced at Liu Xufei, whose face was a little pale, shook her hand, and said to Liu Guyuan: "You are Xiaofei's eldest brother, right?" Hello, I am Xiaofei's friend, my name is Gu Meng. ”
Liu Guyuan didn't listen to what Gu Meng was saying at all, just nodded casually, and continued to urge Liu Xufei: "Go back quickly!" ”
Gu Meng said: "Brother Liu, we were invited by Tang Sanshao to attend the ball. ”
Liu Guyuan was looking at her at this time: "Tang Sanshao? Invite you? ”
"Yes!" Gu Meng nodded: "Tang Sanshao is our friend, we met in Japan, and he invited Xiaofei to be his dance partner tonight." ”
Liu Guyuan's face was a little strange when he heard this, and he looked at Liu Xufei: "Tang Sanshao invited you to be his dance partner?" ”
Liu Xufei took a deep breath and nodded: "Yes, I am Tang Sanshao's dance partner tonight." ”
Liu Guyuan stared at her for a long time, and suddenly smiled, but that smile seemed to be full of deep meaning, and he said, "Okay, then I hope you can have fun tonight!" After speaking, he turned around and left, took two steps and turned back: "No matter what, your surname is Liu, and you are a member of our Liu family, you still have to take care of the face of the Liu family outside, and if something happens after a while, I hope you can leave by yourself, don't let the Liu family be embarrassed with you!" After speaking, he didn't wait for her to answer, and left on his own.
"What's going on?" Gu Meng looked at Liu Xufei puzzled: "What will happen?" ”
Liu Xufei shook his head, his eldest brother is the eldest son of the eldest mother and the future heir of the Liu family, he has a deep and introverted personality since he was a child, except for the fourth sister who is the same father and mother as him, and the other brothers and sisters are not very close.
Gu Meng was about to say something, when he was suddenly tapped on the shoulder, turned his head to look, and was suddenly pleasantly surprised, and excitedly went up to hug: "Brother, why are you here?" ”
The person who came was Gu Liangping, he smiled and gently hugged Gu Meng and patted her back.
"Brother, aren't you going to arrive in two days? How did it come out here? Gu Meng let go of Gu Liangping, still excited.
Gu Liangping glanced at Liu Yufei on the side with a smile, and gently pinched Gu Meng's face: "I haven't seen you for a few years, why are you still like a child?" Why don't you introduce your friends first? ”
"Oh!" Gu Meng knocked on his head, smiled embarrassedly, and pulled Liu Xufei: "Look at me, I'm happy to forget everything, come, let me introduce you, brother, this is my classmate in Japan, and my good friend Liu Xufei, Xiaofei, this is my brother Gu Liangping who I often mention to you." ”
"Brother Liangping is good!" Liu Xufei was infected by their happy mood, and temporarily put aside the unhappiness just now.
"Hello, isn't my sister a headache? I've worked hard for you in the past few years! Gu Liangping said with a smile.
"Brother!" Gu Meng pouted dissatisfiedly: "Where do I give people a headache?" ”
Gu Liangping touched her head: "Yes, you just give me a headache!" He said something different, but at that time, the two simple girls didn't hear it.
"You haven't told me yet, why are you here?" Gu Meng asked.
Gu Liangping said: "I'm not the only one here today. ”
"And who else?" Gu Meng asked.
"You'll find out later!" Gu Liangping glanced upstairs.
"Humph! Pretend to be mysterious! Gu Meng pulled Liu Xufei: "We ignore him!" ”
Gu Liangping shook his head lightly, watched the two of them leave, and then walked upstairs, today is not only Tang Yifeng's welcome banquet, but also a more important matter.
Although Gu Meng walked away, his eyes kept staring at Gu Liangping, and when he saw him go upstairs, he couldn't help but feel even more strange, this is the territory of the Tang family's uncle, how can Brother Liangping go up like this and no one stop him? He just said that he wasn't the only one here, so who else?
Liu Xufei couldn't think so much, she looked around: "Didn't you invite me to be his dance partner?" Why is there still no one to see? Fujiwara-kun also did not appear. ”
Gu Meng couldn't help but make fun of her when she heard this: "Are you in such a hurry to marry yourself off?" “
Liu Xufei scolded with a smile: "You just want to get married!" “
Gu Meng shook his head: "I don't want to, I still have to spend more time with my father and mother at home!" Although she has been studying abroad for a few years, she still has a habit of calling her parents Daddy, which seems to make her feel more affectionate, just like when she was a child.
"Well, I don't know who had a grief-stricken look on his face after being rejected on the ship that day!" Liu Xufei shook her head and said.
Gu Meng was about to hurt her a few words, but suddenly felt that the crowd seemed to be quiet, and they were all looking upstairs, so he also looked up, only to see a man appearing upstairs, a little far away, and he couldn't see his appearance clearly, but he felt that this person had a bit of a greasy face.
"In the next Zhang Yuncheng, on behalf of the Tang family, thank you for coming!" He bowed lightly as he spoke.
It turned out that this person was Zhang Yuncheng, and Gu Meng didn't like this person intuitively when he looked at him.
"Everyone knows that my brother-in-law and brother, the third young master of the Tang family, have just returned from studying in Japan, and tonight's banquet is to welcome him back to China, and the second and most important point is that tonight is also the engagement banquet of Tang Yifan, the third young master of the Tang family, and Gu Ying, the eldest lady of the Gu family in Meilong Town." As soon as Zhang Yuncheng's words spoke, there was an uproar downstairs.
Liu Yufei was stunned, Gu Meng couldn't believe it, why did her sister who hadn't seen her for many years get engaged as soon as she came back, and she was still with Tang Yifeng, what was going on?
