The arrival of Mr. Xia put the entire banquet hall, to be precise, into an even more embarrassing situation for Old Man Ye and Zhuang Mei.

He stood in front of the two with a smile on crutches, looking like a friend for many years.

If she hadn't known about the past relationship between the three of them, Lu Qinglan would have been deceived by him, but thinking of the suspicion of the photo, she felt even more indifferent to this person in her heart.

She and Ye Tingshen glanced at each other, both saw the defensiveness of Mr. Xia in each other's eyes, and without thinking too much, the two walked towards the hall together.

"Happy birthday, Xiaomei." Mr. Xia took the lead in breaking the silence between the three of them, smiling as before, as if all the resentment over the years did not exist.

"You...... You ......" Zhuang Mei was complicated in her heart, for Mr. Xia, from then to now, she was like this, she didn't expect that the two would meet after so many years, and even his attitude towards him was as gentle as back then, and she couldn't help but feel that her grievances had quietly crept up in her heart recently, and she almost said it with choking and coquettishness, "Why are you here?" ”

The change in her voice was the first to be noticed by Old Man Ye.

With a sigh in his heart, he didn't even have the courage to turn his head to look at her, or even the idea.

Mr. Xia always paid attention to his expression, and when he saw him like this, he felt very comfortable, and his depression and unwillingness over the years had been slightly alleviated, but this was not enough.

He stepped forward, and his attitude was still intimate: "Recently, I came to City B to take a look, and it happened to be your birthday, thinking that the three of us haven't seen each other for decades, I don't know if there is any chance to miss it this time." Xiaomei, you haven't changed at all, and you're still as beautiful as before. ”

Knowing that it shouldn't, Zhuang Mei's eyes were still red, such a comfort, when everyone was standing on the opposite side of her, she didn't want to give up at all.

"Thank you......" she said like a fly.

Old Mr. Xia nodded, and looked at Old Man Ye, who had not spoken, with a hint of mockery in his eyes: "Jianguo, you won't diswelcome me, right?" ”

"Nope." Old Man Ye reluctantly pulled the corners of his mouth in response.

"It's better not to." Mr. Xia added meaningfully, "Otherwise, I would think that you are still guilty of me, after all...... It wasn't a glorious day, was it? ”

He didn't deliberately keep his voice down, so all the words he said fell into the ears of several people around him.

Old Man Ye felt the surprised and suspicious gazes of the people around him, and his heart was not very comfortable, what happened back then may not be glorious, but he never regretted it.

Mr. Xia looked at his calmness coldly, he was very annoyed in his heart, and he was about to have another attack, when Lu Qinglan's voice came from behind.

"Mr. Xia, thank you for your starry sky and photos."

Obviously, his voice is not salty or light, but he has a force in it.

Old Mr. Xia's body was obviously stiff, and even if he recovered quickly, he still did not escape the eyes of Lu Qinglan and Ye Tingshen.

"What are you talking about?" He wanted to cover it up, but he forgot that there was a word called wanting to cover up.

Lu Qinglan raised his eyebrows, overflowing with a smile that was not obvious: "Mr. Xia didn't hear clearly? By the way, listen to Xia Zixuan, you are in Hong Kong these days? ”

It was originally just a tentative, but his reaction confirmed their suspicions.

Mr. Xia didn't expect her to be so difficult, let alone that his grandson would betray him!

For a moment, he was a little annoyed: "What does this have to do with you?" That's how you talk to your elders? ”

"If Mr. Xia didn't forget, as early as when you were in City A, what you did made us say early on that you are not an elder worthy of our respect, since you don't have the appearance of an elder, how can you respect it?" Ye Tingshen reminded indifferently, and it wasn't until he saw the anger flashing on his face that he threw down a sentence lightly again, "Or do you need me to say what happened in City A again?" ”

In just a few words, he grasped Mr. Xia's shortcomings, his angry fists clenched, if it weren't for the fact that there were too many people around, he would definitely teach these two guys who don't know the height of the sky and the thickness of the earth a good lesson!

But he couldn't!

However, if the son can't do it, it doesn't mean that he can't touch his son!

Thinking of this, Mr. Xia turned his head violently and shouted to Old Man Ye dissatisfiedly: "Jianguo, this is your Ye family's hospitality?" What an eye-opener! ”

thought that with Ye Jianguo's guilt towards himself, he would teach Ye Tingshen a lesson, but he didn't expect that-

"I believe in Ting Shen, if you hadn't deceived people too much, he wouldn't have looked down on anything you did." Old Man Ye glanced at him lightly, and said very fairly.

But when he heard these words in Mr. Xia's ears, he changed his meaning, didn't he just want to say that he was in a hurry to be cleaned up?

A breath of turbid air swayed in his chest, and Mr. Xia's angry face was cloudy.

Ye Tingshen took in his expression, and said expressionlessly: "Mr. Xia, if you are here to attend my mother's birthday banquet, then we are welcome, if not, I can contact Xia Zixuan for you, or...... Xia Yan. ”

"You...... You ......" Mr. Xia's chest kept rising and falling, but in the end, he could only throw down a sentence viciously, "Naturally, I'm here for the birthday party!" ”

Barely reining in his anger, he looked at Zhuang Mei again: "Xiaomei, let's have a cup of tea together when it's over." ”

It was not an inquiry, but a direct notification, and directly ignored Old Man Ye.

Zhuang Mei's mind has become muddy since he appeared, and without thinking about it, she nodded and agreed: "Okay." ”

A simple good word, Mr. Xia smiled proudly.

Others, some disappointed, some slightly stunned.

The birthday party started on time, and on the surface it was still so lively, but in fact, there had been a subtle change a long time ago.

Ye Tingshen called Xia Zixuan and went straight to the point: "Your grandfather appeared at my mother's birthday party. ”

Xia Zixuan was silent for a few seconds before he spoke: "You believe me, I didn't know until you called a minute ago." ”

"I believe in you." Ye Tingshen paused, "Do you remember what I told you?" ”

Xia Zixuan was silent for a longer time, and finally sighed heavily: "What if...... My grandpa really ...... If you insist on going your own way, I ...... Don't meddle. ”

What Ye Tingshen wants is what he said, this is an agreement between the two of them, if Mr. Xia can't give up, then he won't let it go.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Qinglan walked up to him: "Call Xia Zixuan?" ”

"Yes." Ye Tingshen didn't hide it from her, Yu Guang took in the weirdness on the main table, and said, "Are you tired?" If we're tired, let's go back first? ”

She is now pregnant, so even if she goes first, there is nothing wrong with it.

Lu Qinglan shook his head: "Wait a little longer, after all, it hasn't been long since it started." Also, we haven't completely figured out the meaning of Mr. Xia's coming. ”

"Okay."

They were prepared that Mr. Xia might make a move at the banquet, and unexpectedly, until the banquet ended, Mr. Xia did not do anything, or even say anything, acting as if he was a guest who simply came to the birthday party.

"Xiaomei," Mr. Xia stood up and said with a smile, "You're not in a hurry to go back, are you?" Let's have a cup of tea, right? After so many years, there are some things that I feel compelled to make clear to you. ”

Old Man Ye frowned, he knew that Mr. Xia deliberately said it in front of him, before he did it, he would definitely stop Zhuang Mei, what could he not say now, do you have to meet again in private? But it was only before, and what Zhuang Mei said that day was still floating in her mind, especially when she did something like that today.

Ruthless, he didn't interfere.

Zhuang Mei has been waiting for Old Man Ye to start, as long as he says a word, even as long as there is a hint of unwillingness, she will refuse.

But he didn't.

Disappointment consumed her again.

Mr. Xia had found out that something was wrong between the two before he came, and the current situation was more in line with his wishes, so he said to Zhuang Mei more considerately: "Xiaomei, what's wrong with you?" Something on your mind? Why don't we talk about it? Just like before. ”

Zhuang Mei was angry in his heart, knowing that he shouldn't, but he still agreed, and deliberately raised his voice: "Okay." ”

Old Man Ye was disappointed, turned around and left.

Looking at the back of him leaving, Zhuang Mei suddenly had the feeling that he was singing a one-man show, and just wanted to open his mouth to stop him, but heard Ye Tingshen's voice sounding next to him.

"Mom, are you sure you want to go out and talk to Mr. Xia?" He sneered, and his voice did not hide his disappointment and ridicule, "After knowing that Old Mr. Xia still does not give up dealing with the Ye family and dealing with me?" After knowing that Mr. Xia came uninvited with bad intentions? Or have you decided that you don't want the Ye family anymore? ”

He really understood that Mr. Xia may have been forced to give up dealing with himself due to the situation, but he was still haunted by the grievances between the three of them, so he changed his way and was determined to destroy Zhuang Mei and Old Man Ye.

Not because of the love back then, just because of ...... Unwilling.

Zhuang Mei was blocked by his words, and his face changed again and again.

Mr. Xia was afraid that she would change her attention, so he hurriedly said: "Xiaomei, it's not so serious for friends to get together, right?" As for what your son says, do you really believe it? I can explain it to you, actually, ......."

Ye Tingshen interrupted him disdainfully, with an indifferent expression: "Mr. Xia, why do you think that someone will believe your words?" ”

"You!" was repeatedly disgraced, and Mr. Xia was almost annoyed.

Ye Tingshen couldn't see it, the sarcasm at the corner of his mouth became thicker and thicker, he looked at him, and said word by word: "Mr. Xia, your unwillingness is just your self-esteem." Even if you didn't have my father, you wouldn't have been with my mother. You know why? ”

Mr. Xia spoke almost the second his words fell: "Why? ”
