Chapter 23: The Birthday Banquet

Chen Yunhe hurriedly went downstairs, and when he met the waiter, he inquired about Tao Tao's whereabouts, and his tone was anxious. Everyone here knows her, and they don't dare to slack off, and they all help to find her.

Zhang Chuyi was even behind her, looking like he was standing by, and Yunhe didn't plan to beg her.

Finally someone came to report that, according to her description, there seemed to be someone she was looking for in the next hall.

Yun He didn't say a word, and followed the man towards his destination......

She walked in a hurry, her heels were high, and she stepped on the heavy carpet, and accidentally broke her foot. Even so, she gritted her teeth and persevered.

The two came to the drama hall, and in the corridor, Yunhe looked at the figure of the person in front of her, very similar to Tao Tao, and she called out tentatively: "Tao Tao ......"

Even though there was a noise all around, she still heard a familiar voice, Tao Tao turned around, "Second sister-in-law...... didn't expect to bump into her.

Yunhe limped close to her, Tao Tao could see that her feet were unnatural, and hurriedly stepped forward to help her, "Second sister-in-law...... What's wrong with your feet? ”

"It's okay, I was in a hurry just now, and I accidentally broke down."

Yunhe glanced at the girl beside Tao Tao, and Tao Tao was busy introducing the two, "Second sister-in-law, this is my classmate Meng Ruihua." ”

Meng Ruihua was also very discerning, and called out, "Second young grandmother." ”

Yunhe wanted to say that you are not welcome, but her feet hurt too much. She had to find a place to sit.

Tao Tao's center of gravity increased, knowing that Yunhe might not be able to stand it, he hurriedly asked the waiter on the side if there was a doctor here.

The waiter nodded, Tao Tao asked her to lead the way, and she helped Yunhe, and Meng Ruihua on the side also came over to help, and the two of them helped Yunhe together.

As soon as he came out of the drama hall, a man came in front of him, and the waiter called the boss, but he didn't answer, just looked at Yunhe.

Tao Tao only felt that the person in front of him was familiar, but for a while he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

The man just stared at Chen Yunhe, Yunhe avoided his gaze, she didn't want Tao Tao to misunderstand, so the meaning of the warning was obvious. And Zhang Chuyi turned a blind eye and walked in front of Tao Tao, "Miss Pei...... I'm the person in charge here, and I'm a friend of Yoon-ho, so leave her to me. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to help Yunhe.

Tao Tao hesitated for a moment, then gave up his place to him. Meng Ruihua naturally let go.

Zhang Chuyi helped Yunhe and let her center of gravity rely on him, Yunhe was not very willing, but he was domineering, pinching her shoulder, as if a warning.

The sound of his breathing reminded Yunhwa, who was angry. Because Tao Tao was there, she didn't want her to see the clues, so she could only follow him.

I saw the doctor, wiped the medicine, and although it was nothing serious, I was told that it was better to stay in bed these days.

Yunhe saw that it was not too early, and Zhang Luo went back. Zhang Chuyi personally helped her into the car, waiting for Tao Tao and Meng Ruihua to get into the car, and he was still smiling, "Miss Pei will come over with friends to play when she is free." ”

"Thank you......" Tao Tao nodded politely, in fact, this thank you also included his care for Yunhe.

The moment the car drove away, Zhang Chuyi put away the smile on his face......

"Second sister-in-law, does your foot still hurt? ......" Tao Tao looked at her red and swollen feet and couldn't help but be concerned again.

"It's all right......"

"Second sister-in-law, why are you here?"

"Oh...... Accompany a few friends over to play cards. If you don't mention it, I forgot, why did you run here? ”

"I ...... Heard...... I just want to see ......."

"Next time, come and talk to me, I'll bring you. It's crowded and chaotic, I'm afraid I'll scare you......"

"Hmm...... Okay......" Tao Tao agreed.

"By the way, next time I bring a friend to my house to do it. Two days from my birthday party, do you have time? ”

"Of course, there is ......," Tao Tao was happy. Meng Ruihua also expressed his gratitude to her.

Yunhe ordered the driver to send Tao Tao first, and then return to the private residence. As soon as I got home, the maid came to report, "Miss, Boss Zhang of the big world, let you come back and call back." ”

"Got it."

Yunhe was not in a hurry, she was helped by the girl to go to the bathroom, took a hot bath, and she rubbed it for a long time.

The servant knocked on the door again, "Miss...... The phone ...... "Yunhe didn't have to guess to know who called, this time she didn't run away, limped to answer."

As soon as I picked it up, a voice came from the earpiece, "What's ......?"

The room where Yunhe, the top of the big world, had just stayed, it was full of smoke, Zhang Chuyi had been here alone for a long time, he took another puff of cigar, "Hide from me...... I don't know how many it is this time. An ashtray for a cigarette butt.

"If I really want to hide from you, I won't answer this call." Yunhe teased.

"Hmph...... Chen Yun and I can't get used to looking at you like that, a sister-in-law, who is not biological, why are you so low-voiced? What about your arrogance? ”

"She's not like us...... I could see my own shadow in her, and she was once a little girl who was protected......"

"Hypocritical ......"

"Sort of...... I don't want her to be like our group of people, who have to bow her head for the sake of profit. ”

Therefore, she is willing to guard her innocence......

didn't see him respond, and after a while, Yunhe spoke, "It's okay, I'll hang up." ”

The other party was just silent, and at the moment when Yunhe was about to hang up, he opened his mouth, "Does your foot still hurt?" ”

Yunhe's heart warmed, "I can't ...... it"

Neither of them spoke, and in the end, Yunhe hung up the phone first......

On Yunhe's birthday, Tao Tao didn't think about what to give, and when she asked Meng Ruihua, she couldn't say a word or two, because she was also invited, and she was also anxious about it.

She also asked Tao Tao about her preferences, but Tao Tao couldn't say clearly. In the end, the two people who thought about it decided to sing a song together and dedicate it to her.

But Tao Tao still prepared a gift for Meng Ruihua in private, but he didn't tell her.

On Yunhe's birthday, the two of them came to pick him up after school, she hadn't seen him for a few days, and Tao Tao laughed out loud when she saw it.

"How did you get that? It's only been a few days, how can you look like a black-faced bag? ”

"Miss, don't you know, the young master is not in these days, and he will pull me to repair the ship at the dock tomorrow. Oops, I'm tired, he's darker than me. ”

"No wonder the second brother has handed over any major matter to Ji Ming, he is reassuring......"

"Oops...... Be...... The young master asked me to do some work to pick up people, and I didn't please ......" The two quarreled, and he had to coax behind him and say some good things. If he could, he really hoped to be able to exchange with Jiming.

Tao Tao sneered and ignored him, she was in a good mood today. It is not calculated.

"Miss, the eldest young master is here." Seungwoo said suddenly.

"Really? Why is Big Brother here? ”

"I don't know, maybe there's a mission. Ji Ming and I met at the pier and didn't alarm outsiders. ”

"Oh......" These Tao Tao were not interested, she was very happy when she thought of seeing her eldest brother for a while.

As the car drove into the villa, guests were already arriving, and the once spacious courtyard was already full of cars.

She got out of the car and Yunhe was standing under the porch to greet guests, and when she saw her, she smiled slightly, "Are you back?" ”

Tao Tao walked over with a smile and looked up and down, and the floor-sweeping evening dress made her graceful posture in a gold velvet fabric.

"Second sister-in-law, do your feet still hurt?"

"It's been done for a long time......"

"Second sister-in-law, it's so beautiful......" Tao Tao praised from the bottom of his heart.

Yunhe was a little embarrassed by her praise like this, "Come on in." ”

She said and came over and took Meng Ruihua's hand, "Please come in." ”

Meng Ruihua was a little nervous when she participated in this kind of banquet for the first time, but in order not to let people see that she had never seen the world, she could only pretend to be calm and follow Tao Tao step by step.

After Tao Tao came in, he went to greet Mrs. Chen first. Mrs. Chen was very happy and pulled her to introduce her to her friends.

She also spoke for a while with the wives of either duchesses, ambassadors, or the wives of the president of some bank. was worried about finding some excuse to slip away, so Zhao Kangping came here to say hello.

He kindly brought her out. He smiled slightly when he saw her, as if he had a lot to say. But he didn't speak.

"When did you come back?" But Tao Tao opened his mouth first.

"Yesterday ......"

Meng Ruihua was prejudiced against him, so he didn't give him a good face, and said that he wanted to go out to breathe, and he was going to leave with Tao Tao.

Tao Tao nodded at him, and was about to leave, when he was stopped by Zhao Kangping, "Fifth Miss, can we talk?" ”

His attitude was sincere, Tao Tao couldn't bear to refuse, and quietly explained a few words to Meng Ruihua, Meng Ruihua left angrily, and did not forget to glance at Zhao Kangping before leaving.

Zhao Kangping found a quiet place, and the two of them stood against the railing. For a while, Zhao Kangping didn't dare to look her eyes.

"Miss Five...... I'm going to Nanjing this time......"

"Have you seen my eldest brother?"

The two men spoke almost at the same time.

“? No, I didn't meet him in Nanjing, and he was on vacation at that time. ”

"Oh...... The person is on vacation and does not go home. ”

"It could also be something else."

"Hmm...... Also. By the way, are the maple leaves of Xiangshan red? ”

"It's almost ......," she remembered, their agreement. He suddenly relaxed.

But there are some things that he still has to explain, so he feels the need to speak, and is just about to open his mouth and is interrupted.

"Miss...... Why are you here? "Momoko came looking for her." The eldest young master is here, and he asked about you just now. ”

"Good...... Good...... I'm coming. Tao Tao was elated, she smiled at Zhao Kangping, "I'll go first." ”

Zhao Kangping nodded, and saw her trotting up with her skirt, and the shadow of her running was imprinted in his heart, as smart as a dancing butterfly......

Tao Tao trotted over, and only stopped before entering the main hall, straightened his skirt, and walked in small steps.

From a distance, I saw a beautiful woman standing next to Yunhe, and standing with Yunhe was not covered at all. I don't know if it's deliberate, to avoid stealing the limelight from Yunhe, the dress that is not grand, and the hair accessories are just simple pearls, but they are still amazing.

Yunhe saw her and beckoned, "Tao Tao, come here......"

Tao Tao walked over and called out, "Second sister-in-law," but his eyes looked at the woman uncontrollably.

I saw the man "This is Tao Tao?" ”

Before she could wait for Tao Tao to nod, she stretched out her arm first, "Hello, I'm Chu Yunyi......"

"Oh...... Hello ......" Tao Tao reacted in hindsight, she was Chu Nanxiong's daughter.
