Chapter Eighty-Nine: Guests
"Hey, Butler Wen, you have to look carefully! I heard that the Duanmu family didn't send many pink invitations this time, he didn't have a fake!"
"No...... No...... I won't ......" Butler Wen heard the banter in Chu Xian's words, and said a few "no", and the beads of sweat on his face were already bursting out.
Steward Wen had already heard Chairman Qiu Qianshui personally say that there were only ten pink invitations sent to the outside world at this banquet, of which Qiu Xiaoshui personally sent out eight, and the invitations were all big names with extraordinary influence in the Federation, and the other two were handed over to the two sisters Duanmu Rong and Duanmu Yan respectively, asking each of them to invite one of their best friends to come to the banquet and the ceremony.
In the thought of the housekeeper, the meaning of the pink invitation in the hands of the Duanmu sisters is better than that of the chairman Qiu Xiaoshui, the second lady Duanmuyan will not say anything, but the eldest lady Duanmurong is the future "head" of the weak water group, no matter who her pink invitation card is given to, then this person is worth in-depth study.
If Miss Duanmu's pink invitation is given to a woman, then this woman must be a close friend of the lady who has an excellent relationship, and if it is given to a man, then the meaning it represents is intriguing. Steward Wen even thought that if the age difference between that man and Miss Duanmu was not big, there was a chance that Miss Duanmu would be the person she wanted.
Steward Wen almost grew up watching Duanmu Rong, and knew her surname very well, knowing that this eldest lady would not like anything easily, but once she liked it, she would hold on tightly and never let go easily, so for things and people.
The young man in front of him is the same age as the eldest lady, and he looks very handsome and handsome, but his dress is too shabby, compared with the guests who come in and out, he is not a level of person at all, and he can't see a little bit of the noble temperament and elegant demeanor that the son of a famous family should have.
Steward Wen really couldn't figure it out, how could such a poor boy who looked rustic be so favored by the eldest lady, was he better than Ye Yi of Ye's Heavy Industry? Better than Linghu Interstellar's Linghu Xiaoyao? More noble than Chang Qian of Changsheng Company? More handsome than Shizun Technology's Shizhongdao? He was far inferior to Fei Yingjie from Fei's Company in Xidu!
Could it be that this young man named Ye Xingxing is pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, and he is shabby on the surface, but in fact his background is better than Ye Yi's young masters? Or does he have advantages and strengths that Miss Duanmu particularly valued? No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like it!
Looking at the pink invitation in his hand, and then looking at Ye Xingxing in front of him, Steward Wen felt like he was having a very absurd dream!
"I said, Great Butler Wen, why are you in a daze? You don't plan to let the two of us in, are you? Okay, let's go!" Chu said loudly and dissatisfiedly.
You little girl surnamed Chu will leave as soon as you go, but that Ye Xingxing is a guest personally invited by our Miss Duanmu, it's good that you took Ye Xingxing away, Miss Duanmu blames it, I can't eat and walk around! Don't look at me I have served their Duanmu family for decades, and I am a qualified old man, but Miss Duanmu has the same surname as her mother, no matter who it is, as long as she dares to touch her scales, it will definitely not end well!
Hearing that the housekeeper came back to his senses, he saw Chu Xian's waist pull Ye Xingxing's arm and turn around to leave, he couldn't help but be startled, and stepped down the steps of the "Weak Water House" gate in three or two steps, stopped in front of Chu Xian's waist and Ye Xingxing's body, bowed down again and again to accompany him, and said with a flattering smile: "Mr. Ye, Miss Chu, I'm really sorry, I was so fascinated by the peerless demeanor of the two just now that I neglected the two, forgive me!"
Ye Xingxing smiled dumbly, thinking that this big butler Wen was too numb and explicit! Of course, it is very appropriate to use the word "peerless demeanor" to describe Chu Xian's waist, but I don't seem to have anything to do with these four words, right? It is more appropriate for "peerless madman" to be used on me.
Of course, the two of them would not really leave, and when they saw that the housekeeper Wen was compensating again and again, they were embarrassed to continue to embarrass him, so they smiled and said a few polite words to him, and under the guidance of the two waiters, they walked through the gate of the "weak water house" together.
"Weak Water House" is actually a large village that blends the ancient style, with both luxurious villas and exquisite and elegant pavilions, in the meantime, you can't imagine that this is just a private residence, but like a large park with beautiful scenery.
Ye Xingxing and Chu Xianjiao walked along a cobblestone avenue lined with pines and cypresses, passed through a flowering garden, and passed through a willow forest with smoky branches and leaves, and their eyes suddenly became wider.
In front of several magnificent villas is a huge lawn, the lawn was originally trimmed flat like a mirror, but in order to welcome guests from all directions, it was laid a thick red carpet, on the carpet a full hundred wine tables, at this time it was only more than ten minutes before the official start of the banquet at twelve o'clock, most of the guests had been seated under the guidance of the waiter, and a few people wandered around the wine table, and familiar friends greeted each other.
Chu Xianxiao originally said that he wanted to sit with Ye Xingxing, but when he arrived at the banquet site, he found that the position where the guests sat was arranged by the host in advance, and it was definitely not that he could sit wherever he wanted.
Seeing that Ye Xingxing was led by a waiter to the separate large round table on the north side of the lawn, Chu Xianxiao also wanted to follow, but was politely stopped by another waiter.
"Miss Chu, your seat is there, please come with me. The waiter pointed to the southwest corner of the lawn and smiled.
Chu Xianjiao knew that the "weak water house" was not her own home, and she could let herself be coquettish and angry, but the direction pointed by the waiter was obviously the edge of the lawn, which made her very unhappy for Chu Xianxiao, who liked to be lively, she pursed her lips and frowned: "Do you have to sit there?"
At this time, the classical style music on the scene changed, the rhythm was fresh and cheerful, and the look on the waiter's face also became a little anxious, he shook his head, and said in a pleading tone: "Miss Chu, the banquet is about to start, can you please come with me and sit there?"
"Okay. Chu Xian saw that many guests were looking at him with strange eyes, and knew that it would be very bad if he continued to mess around, so he sighed and sat down on a wine table at the far edge of the southwest corner of the lawn under the guidance of the waiter.
Chu Xian's waist was sullen over there, and Ye Xingxing was also very unhappy here, because he found that the place he was sitting in was too special and conspicuous, making him feel indescribably awkward.
The wine table in front of Ye Xingxing was arranged alone in front of the palace-style villa with a strong traditional architectural style on the north side of the lawn, and when he was invited here by the waiter, he found that several guests were already seated, and these guests were men and women, but all of them were elders over sixty years old.
It's just that, Ye Xingxing just sat down, and he felt that the originally lively scene was suddenly quieter, and then countless eyes focused on him, those eyes were surprised, surprised, doubtful, envious, and jealous...... Under the watchful eye of the crowd, Ye Xingxing suddenly regretted it a little, he thought that he might as well sit in the corner with Chu Xian waist just now, so that when the banquet began for a while, he could also eat a full meal with peace of mind, and then when he saw Duanmu Rongshi, he would give her the gift he brought, and then he could go home.
Ye Xingxing didn't know what the identity of the guests at his table was, but he was a teenager sitting with a few of their dozens of elders, the contrast in age was too great, and it was difficult not to attract attention, the only thing that made Ye Xingxing feel comforted was that several old people were wearing ordinary clothes, and a few old people were even wearing cloth clothes and shoes, which looked very simple, compared with them, the clothes they wore seemed to be very "tasteful" and "grade".
Although several old men were dressed ordinarily, they were able to sit at this most special wine table, which showed that they were by no means simple characters, Ye Xingxing had met many hidden powerhouses before, and knew that the more inconspicuous some people looked at on the surface, the more they could not be despised against.
Some of the old men were whispering, some were sitting quietly and drinking tea, and some were silent with cold faces, Ye Xingxing was not familiar with them, so he had nothing to say, and when he was bored, his eyes began to glance around, and he found that there were many acquaintances sitting on the adjacent wine tables.
Among those people were Linghu Xiaoyao brothers and sisters, Shi Chongdao, Ye Yi, and Chang Qian, to Ye Xingxing's surprise, he actually saw Tong Yan's father Tong Shi at one of the wine tables, and what made him even more unexpected was that the charming and charming Xia Charm also sat at Tong Lion's table.
In fact, after Ye Xingxing sat down at the wine table in a special position, many people, including Linghu Xiaoyao and others, had been paying attention to him, seeing Ye Xingxing's gaze shifting, except for Ye Yi, Chang Qian and a few other people who looked at each other coldly, everyone else who knew Ye Xingxing nodded and smiled, especially after Xia Weimei and Ye Xingxing's eyes met, they winked at her frequently, Qiu Bo secretly sent, Ye Xingxing only glanced at her a few times, and his heartbeat was accelerated by the flirtatious heartbeat, and he hurriedly took his eyes off her.
"Who the hell is this Xia Charming, she actually has something to do with the Duanmu family! She is here, so her group of sisters should also be there, right?" Ye Xingxing looked left and right, and sure enough, he saw a few Xia Charming companions, but he didn't find the thin old man who was with them.
