Chapter 24: The Birthday Banquet 2
An object that has been talked about by people after tea and dinner suddenly appeared in front of you, so that Tao Tao was a little dazed.
She is Chu Yunyi, no wonder so many men flock to her, not only because of her father's rights, but also because of the appearance that makes men feel excited.
"Tao Tao ...... Why not call people? The voice pulled back her thoughts.
She looked up, eldest brother Zhiqian was looking at her, and she hurriedly responded, "Miss Chu." ”
"Don't be so polite, they all call me Yunyi...... Just call me Sister Yunyi. ”
Tao Tao raised his eyes and glanced at Zhiqian, but did not call out.
"Big brother, I'll take Yunyi to my mother's ...... You talk to Tao Tao first. ”
Yongqian nodded, looking at the figure of the two of them walking away hand in hand before turning around, "How is the study?" ”
"Oops...... Why do you ask me this as soon as you meet, it's more annoying than the second brother. ”
"Doesn't I care about you?" Yongqian gestured, but it didn't get imprinted on her head.
Tao Tao closed her eyes and covered her forehead, the expected pain did not come down, she opened her eyes, came over to hold Zhiqian's arm, and smiled, "Big brother, what's the situation?" ”
"You kid? What the...... What's the situation? ”
"It's Chu Yunyi? You came together? ”
"Not ......"
"Then you don't know that she came to the second sister-in-law's birthday party?"
"I don't know ......"
"Eldest brother, she is so good-looking, better than the second sister-in-law, why don't you get the moon first near the water?"
Yongqian was silent, and it took him a while before he reacted, "Little girl, if you don't study well, what is in your head?" I'll have to talk to Yuan Qian and consider keeping a tight watch over you. ”
"Big brother......" Tao Tao was coquettish and angry.
Yongqian turned a blind eye and walked towards the dance floor.
Zhao Kangping, who came in later, saw this scene in his eyes, and he was envious of Zhiqian at this moment. Because he is the only one who can play with Tao Tao at will.
Because Yuan Qian was not there, Yunhe didn't plan to dance in the first dance of the ball, and she found Zhao Kangping and asked him to lead the dance with Tao Tao.
In fact, she originally planned to let Chu Yunyi and Pei Zhiqian lead the dance together, but Yongqian didn't seem to have this intention, and she was still so serious standing there, she just thought about it......
So when Zhao Kangping took Tao Tao's hand and walked onto the dance floor, Yunhe smiled knowingly......
Chu Yunyi looked at the two people on the dance floor and couldn't help but smile, "Are these two people quite compatible?" ”
Yunhe also chimed in, "Well, it's pleasing to the eye." ”
At this time, someone came over to invite Chu Yunyi to dance, she looked back at Pei Zhiqian, he was communicating with someone, he seemed to feel her eyes, and also looked up, looking at each other, Chu Yunyi smiled slightly, and agreed to the man who invited her to dance.
Yongqian ignored it and continued to talk to the people around him. It's just that his eyes glance uncontrollably at the dance floor from time to time......
At the end of the first dance, Zhao Kangping politely took Tao Tao off the dance floor, and brought it to Yongqian's side by the way, he took a glass of red wine from the waiter's hand to show Zhiqian: "Long time no see, I originally wanted to ask you for a glass of wine when I was in Nanjing...... You're not there. ”
"There's a job to do." Yongqian also raised his head and drank the wine in his cup.
Taking advantage of the gap between the two of them talking, Tao Tao quietly walked from Zhao Kangping's side to Yongqian's side.
And Chu Yunyi, who had just come down from the dance floor, also came over, and Zhao Kangping greeted her, "Yunyi." "The relationship between the two seems to be very close. Tao Tao also smiled at her, only Zhiqian did not show a smile.
"Miss Five's dance just now was really good." Yun Yi praised.
Tao Tao smiled, and he didn't know if it was because of the dancing just now or because he was shy, and his cheeks were flushed. Zhao Kangping's heart was pounding.
"It's an acquaintance, shall we have a drink?" Yun Yi said and picked up two glasses of red wine from the hand of the waiter who had just passed by. A cup was handed to Tao Tao, and a cup was held in his hand.
"She can't drink." Yongqian snatched Tao Tao's wine glass.
"Oops...... The eldest brother is really, is it the second sister-in-law's birthday today? Usually forget it, you can take care of me on days like this. Tao Tao was afraid that Chu Yunyi would be embarrassed, so he said a few words of disgust. Then he went to snatch the wine glass in Zhiqian's hand, she was short, and she could barely reach it if she had to raise her hand high.
Yongqian lowered her body at this time, Tao Tao was within reach of her hands, and she smiled and made a gesture of invitation to Yunyi, but just as she was about to raise her head and drink, she was stopped by Yongqian again.
"Just take a sip."
"Hey......" Tao Tao rolled his eyes and sighed in his heart, the eldest brother is more serious than the second brother.
He's like this, what girl can stand it.
"Try your best......" Chu Yunyi said to Tao Tao with a graceful smile.
"Hmm......" Tao Tao agreed, and then took a big sip, in fact, she originally planned to drink it all, after all, she always had to give face. But I was in a hurry, and I choked a little.
She covered her mouth and coughed, Yun Yi hurriedly lowered her body and asked, "Are you okay?" ”
"It's okay...... It's okay......" Tao Tao comforted her, "I'm just in a hurry." She said that she was going to continue to drain the wine in the cup, but Yongqian snatched it away, "I'll drink ......it for her," she said, looking at Chu Yunyi with a reproachful look on her face.
For a while, the atmosphere seemed to be solemn, and Tao Tao stood between the two, "It's all my brother's fault for spoiling me, and I can't do anything well......"
"This girl, I secretly drank wine on the day I got married to Yuan Qian, I was drunk and unconscious, and I was sick, and my mother ordered me not to touch alcohol again. Yoon-ho also played a round together.
"It's all my fault, I didn't think about it so much......" Chu Yunyi blamed herself.
"Don't say that...... It's me who is hungry...... There was no excuse in the first place, but I just took this opportunity to see that people still can't lie, and retribution is coming......" Tao Tao joked, hoping to sweep away the discomfort in Yun Yi's heart.
She was very moved by Tao Tao's words, she was originally a little unable to get off the stage by Pei Yongqian, and she was very aggrieved in her heart, but now this girl's words easily resolved her embarrassment, and her good impression of her in her heart has increased again.
At this time, the second dance music sounded, and Tao Tao urged Zhao Kangping, "Brother Kangping is going to dance, right?" ”
Zhao Kangping came over to invite her, but she motioned for him to invite Chu Yunyi beside him, he understood, smiled and nodded.
"Yunyi is going to dance, right?"
Chu Yunyi glanced at Tao Tao in surprise, she was also looking at her with a smile, and then she generously took Zhao Kangping's arm and walked onto the dance floor.
At this time, someone happened to come over to invite Yunhe, Tao Tao motioned for her to be casual, and when Yunhe also left, and when they were left with their brother and sister, Tao Tao stood with him for a while, but saw him glance in the direction of the dance floor, and then turned around and walked out of the room.
Tao Tao followed him, and the two of them came to the balcony and looked at the railing.
"Big brother, why are you here? Is it really here to celebrate the second sister-in-law's birthday? This kind of Yongqian made Tao Tao feel strange, as if he had a lot on his mind, but he didn't want to talk to anyone.
"Say what?" Zhiqian glanced at her, she knew she had said the wrong thing.
"I thought it was entrusted by my second brother...... Tao Tao is hesitant.
"How can your second brother have that time? It's just a coincidence......"
In fact, he went home on vacation, and his mother Zhang Luo wanted to mail Chen Yunhe's birthday gift, and he was afraid that it would be inappropriate, and he happened to have a few friends in Shanghai, and he planned to take advantage of the vacation to meet and meet, and he happened to stop by to see Tao Tao, so he played the role of a postman.
"Oh...... Big brother, do you have something on your mind? ”
"How can a child's family know what is on their minds."
"Big brother, I'm in college, I've grown up a long time ago, and I always treat others as children......"
"I ...... Can there be ...... What's on your mind? Yongqian seemed powerless to refute his argument, and his heart was seen through, so he could only justify himself.
"You're all stammering, obviously lying......"
Yongqian didn't plan to pay attention to her, turned around to leave, Tao Tao stopped her, "Big brother, what is the relationship between you and Chu Yunyi?" ”
"What can it matter, he is the daughter of my chief...... "The relationship between superiors and subordinates......
"But I don't see it, how do I feel that she is a little afraid of you......"
"Don't speculate ......"
Even Tao Tao saw that the two people were abnormal, so what about others, is he a little hiding his ears and stealing the bell, deceiving himself.
Chu Yunyi on the dance floor was not as happy as she was just now, she was a little absent-minded, and accidentally stepped on Zhao Kangping's foot, she was busy saying sorry.
Zhao Kangping smiled and shook his head, not minding.
"Yunyi, do you have something on your mind?"
She didn't deny it.
"Is it because of Pei Min."
Chu Yunyi raised his head and looked at him, how did he find out? Could it be that the authorities are fascinated by what people say, and the bystanders are clear?
"Actually, I'm not hiding it...... It's that he doesn't like it. ”
"So you're here this time because of him?"
"Half of the reason, I also received Yunhe's birthday invitation, and I really didn't plan to come in person at first, but I heard that he was coming, so I came with me."
"That night in Nanjing, you told me that you had a person living in your heart, and at that time, I didn't guess who he was, but I only found out today."
"I also know who that person in your heart is?" Chu Yunyi smiled.
Zhao Kangping chuckled, "Your problem is solved, and my problem can be solved." ”
"How can it be that easy? This time he deliberately took a vacation, he has never taken a vacation in all these years, and it is when he is tired. It's not to hide from me...... I want him to confess to my dad, and he doesn't say it...... Again, I would say, he obstructed it...... It was up to me to start and end with me. She was so determined that Zhao Kangping was impressed.
Chu Nanxiong has no son, so this son-in-law must be chosen by thousands of people, and it is indeed a big challenge for Pei Yongqian, who does not have any power to rely on.
However, now it is different, the marriage of the Pei Chen family, as well as the former influence of the Commercial Book Company, coupled with Pei Yongqian's talent, if the Pei family can form an alliance with the party that Chu Nanxiong intends to woo, this matter will not be difficult......
