Chapter 21: The Nalan Family's Feast
And when Liu Qingyi decided to rush to Yun Xiao's house, the long table in the garden of Nalan family at this moment was already full of all the invited relatives and friends, Nalan Yanfeng sat in a high position, and on the left sat his father, Yun Xiao's grandfather - Nalan Qian, who came from his own house, and on the right was the person who held the banquet here, Nalan Yanfeng's sister and Nalan Qian's daughter who came back from Songhai.
"Brother Liu Cen, you and my sister are old friends who have known each other for many years, and she came back to do business this time, so I just invited you to come over, it's a rare get-together, haha." Nalan Yanfeng raised the wine glass in front of the table and took a sip slightly, then looked around, only then stopped the glass and looked at Liu Cen with a smile, "It's a pity, it was originally invited to your family, who made your wife Mr. Jiang so busy, even such a party that was finally had to be wasted in the company." ”
Seeing that Nalan Yanfeng only mentioned his wife Jiang Hongxia and never mentioned Qingyi, Liu Cen also skipped a sneer in his heart, and then the corners of his mouth lifted slightly: "Alas, Hongxia is always so busy with her own company's affairs, even I can't persuade her." But my daughter should be here in a while, aren't you welcome Brother Yanfeng? ”
"Of course not, Qingyi can come, it's too late for us to be happy." Han Xin saw that Nalan Yanfeng's face was slightly sluggish, so he hurriedly grabbed the words and replied with a smile.
Yun Xiao and Shao Yang, who were sitting in the corner of the dining table, quietly watched the conversation between them with a friendly face but a gun and a stick, and couldn't help but smile coldly.
"Hey, you say, will Liu Qingyi come?" Shao Yang looked at Yun Xiao, and the corners of his mouth lifted a playful smile.
Yun Xiao also turned his head to look at Shao Yang, and shook his head slightly: "Whether you come or not, this meal, I'm bored eating......"
When everyone was talking and laughing at the table, although Nalan Ying kept smiling, her eyes were biased towards Yun Xiao and Shao Yang from time to time, and there was an unusually clever cunning flickering in her deep pupils.
In contrast, Nalan Qian kept a kind look, ignoring the conversation of everyone at the table, his gaze kept looking at the entrance of the garden, obviously waiting for something.
In the inpatient building of the Department of Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Diseases of Santa Fe Central Hospital, Mo Qingfeng stood downstairs with a large bag of things in his hand and hesitated for a long time, then raised his head and looked at the sky, and finally walked in without hesitation.
When he came to the ward, Mo Qingfeng quietly pushed the door in, but saw his mother Shen Ruxin lying quietly on the bed and falling asleep, and Mo Qingyu, who was also asleep, was lying on the side of the bed.
Mo Qingfeng looked at his sister, shook his head and smiled slightly, then walked forward slowly, took a thin sheet beside the bed and draped it on Mo Qingyu's body.
"Brother, are you here?" Mo Qingyu seemed to feel something, raised her head and looked at Mo Qingfeng and rubbed her eyes.
"So you weren't asleep?" Mo Qingfeng twisted her sister's little face, then smiled helplessly, turned to look at Shen Ruxin, and asked Qingyu softly, "Has she taken her medicine?" Are you better? ”
"Mom is much better, I just miss you, and I'm still talking about you at night. Brother, don't be angry with your mother anymore, okay? Mo Qingyu whispered in a slightly pleading tone.
"It's been so long, I don't mind anymore." The corners of Mo Qingfeng's mouth lifted slightly, still looking at Shen Ruxin and muttering.
"Really, Qingfeng, you forgive Mom." Shen Ruxin suddenly opened her eyes and asked excitedly.
"You, you also pretend to be asleep, you ......" Mo Qingfeng glared at his mother with a slight anger.
"Brother, don't blame Mom, Mom doesn't mean what you think." Mo Qingyu hurriedly got up and explained.
"What did I think? Okay, I've seen it too, you can take care of yourself well, I still have to leave beforehand. Mo Qingfeng put the plastic bag full of things in his hand on the table, then turned around and left.
"Qingfeng, won't you talk to your mother?" Shen Ruxin called at Mo Qingfeng's back.
"I'll talk about it when I have time......" Mo Qingfeng left the last sentence and left the ward.
"Mom, don't be angry, my brother actually cares about you, you see he bought you so many things. Brother is just hard-mouthed and unwilling to take the initiative to soften, you lie down first and I will chase my brother back. Mo Qingyu comforted Shen Ruxin, and then got up and chased out of the ward.
Shen Ruxin turned her head to look at the large bag of fruits, nutritional products and milk on the bedside table, and finally a tearful smile appeared on her face.
"Brother, brother, you wait." Mo Qingyu chased after Mo Qingfeng behind the corridor, shouting.
Mo Qingfeng's footsteps slowed down, then turned to look at his sister who rushed in front of him, and whispered: "What are you chasing out for, go take care of your mother, don't worry about me." ”
"You still know she's your mother?" Mo Qingyu was also a little angry, "You don't know about Damn's heart disease, she can't be stimulated, you just mess with her like this, in case your mother is angry...... I see where you regret it. ”
"Okay, I said I didn't blame her, I just wanted her to know the mistakes she made back then." Mo Qingfeng sighed a little guiltily, and then seemed to remember something, and then looked at Qingyu and asked, "Qingyu, my brother asked you, did you really send Qingyi to the school gate yesterday, why didn't I wait for her?" ”
"You didn't wait?" Mo Qingyu was stunned for a moment, then patted her head and complained, "Oh, it's all my fault, I forgot to return Qingyi's mobile phone when I borrowed it yesterday and left." Nothing will happen to her. ”
"No, I have to go to her house." After Mo Qingfeng finished speaking, he wanted to turn around and leave, but Qingyu hurriedly grabbed him, "Take your phone and return it to him by the way, I'll stay and take care of my mother." ”
"Okay." Mo Qingfeng took the phone and rushed downstairs in a hurry, looking at the former's rushing back, Mo Qingyu couldn't help but be a little worried: "What the hell is going on?" Qingyi, don't let anything happen to you......"
At noon, the climate in September is not hot, and the city of Santa Fe, which is close to the bay, is located in the temperate zone and at a high latitude, even if there is a scorching sun, it is often hidden behind the clouds, and the temperature is not too high, but in the garden of the Nalan family, there are many people who show a slight sign of sweating, which is a kind of anxiety caused by waiting for others.
"Okay, the dish is almost finished, let's have a meal......" Nalan Yanfeng saw that many people seemed to be waiting for someone, and he naturally knew who was waiting, so he hurriedly opened his mouth and urged with a smile.
"Yes, Principal Liu, maybe Qingyi won't come, let's have dinner." Nalan Ying glanced at Nalan Yanfeng, and also looked at Liu Cen with a smile.
"Well, then don't wait." Liu Cen hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed.
"Dad!" Just when Nalan Yunxiao and Han Xin shook their heads and were depressed, and Nalan Qian was slightly disappointed, a slender but decisive voice suddenly came, "Didn't I promise to come, then I will definitely come." ”
Nalan Yunxiao, Han Xin, and Nalan Qian raised their heads almost instantly, looking at Liu Qingyi, who appeared in front of them with a slight breath, and their faces were immediately filled with smiles, while Nalan Ying's mother and son smiled meaningfully, only Nalan Yanfeng's face sank suddenly.
"Qingyi, you are really ignorant, why did you arrive so late, you really came to catch up for dinner?" Liu Cen laughed and scolded helplessly.
Hearing this, only Nalan Yunxiao suddenly couldn't help but hold her stomach and laugh, and when she saw everyone looking at her with strange eyes, she quickly closed her mouth in embarrassment, but a sentence suddenly came out from the depths of her heart: "Why not, she used to be like this......"
"Huh, why do I think that?" Yun Xiao was a little surprised, but Shao Yang, who was sitting next to him, smiled and tried to be, "What are you thinking?" ”
"Oh, no...... It's nothing. Yun Xiao turned his head to look at Shao Yang, and replied after being slightly stunned.
"Haha, Liu Cen, don't talk about her. I just like Qingyi's straightforward personality, why don't you have a meal together, isn't it just for a meal? Nalan Qian saw Liu Cen looking at his daughter with disgusted eyes, and hurriedly smiled to relieve the siege.
Liu Qingyi also smiled when she heard this, and then walked to the table to say hello one by one. When he walked to Nalan Qian's side, his brows suddenly furrowed, and then he muttered softly in a slightly playful tone: "Grandpa Qian, are you kidding me again?" How can I love food so much? ”
"Little girl, I haven't seen you for a few months, and I'm a lot more beautiful." Nalan Qian looked at Liu Qingyi with loving eyes, then held her hand and smiled slightly, and then suddenly sighed again, "Alas, it's just that I'm getting thinner and thinner, which makes my grandfather feel distressed." ”
Liu Qingyi bit her lip tightly and peeked at Nalan Yunxiao, but she didn't expect to meet Yunxiao's eyes that were also looking at her. Liu Qingyi's cheeks were slightly red, and she quickly avoided it, and then walked in front of Nalan Yanfeng.
Nalan Yanfeng looked at Liu Qingyi standing in front of him, there was no emotion in his deep pupils, and Qingyi also looked at Nalan Yanfeng with those still clear eyes. This kind of staring only lasted for a moment, and Nalan Yanfeng looked away, and a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Aunt Li, prepare a chair for Qingyi." Now that everyone has arrived, let us begin. ”
Aunt Li didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, she put the chair between Yun Xiao and Han Xin, Qingyi walked over with a smile and sat down against Han Xin.
"Qingyi, are you still angry with me, blaming me for losing my temper with you that day?" Yun Xiao suddenly put his head close to Liu Qingyi and guessed in a low voice.
"No, how could I be angry, I just had something to do, so I'm late." Qingyi smiled at Yun Xiao.
"Oh, that's right." Yun Xiao also smiled back, and then stopped talking to Liu Qingyi, but picked up the red wine glass in front of the table and poured it violently.
Liu Qingyi and Shao Yang watched Yun Xiao drinking alone left and right, and glanced at each other, both of them saw the puzzled look in each other's eyes, and then they had to withdraw their gaze and pick up their knives and forks stupidly......
