Chapter 84 (2)
Jiang Yuanyuan failed to provoke the wind and waves, and her stomach was full of upset. staring at Mingxia and the others, her eyes rolled slightly, and she didn't know what she was calculating.
Mingxia was introducing several important guests in the house to her roommates.
"Jiang Yuanyuan and Lingling's grandfather are comrades-in-arms, but the two of them have been enemies since childhood."
Ling Mei said that she understood, and there was no way to do it if her aura did not match.
"The sister who asked you just now is called Duan Yilin. I went abroad to study at university in '78 and just returned to China this year. Her younger brother Duan Yiyang is sitting with them, see? β
Duan Yiyang finally felt Ling Mei's gaze and gently raised his glass to greet her.
Ling Mei was stunned and smiled.
It turned out that at my grandmother's place, Mr. Duan, who had covered their harvest in the sea, his full name was Duan Yiyang.
Seeing that Yiyang took the initiative to salute, Mingxia was surprised: "The Duan family is the highest position in our compound. His grandfather was a hero of the Anti-Japanese War. β
Ling Mei's heart is slightly seasoned.
The children of heroes are not so easy to deal with.
Mingxia said another exciting news: "Duan Yiyang and Ling Ling have been married to each other since they were children. β
Xiaoqin whispered: "What age is there still a doll?" β
Mingxia sighed lightly: "The elders have verbally agreed on the family affairs." As she spoke, she looked at Zheng Hao again.
"The man who is a little angry is called Zheng Hao. My grandfather has retired, but his uncle is now the second director of the General Logistics Department. His father was the director of the city's health department. Zheng Hao is the only son in the family and the owner of the house today. Mingxia told them, "He has a bad reputation, don't act alone, try to avoid him." β
Everyone nodded knowingly.
Mingxia took them to the table, and the rows of food looked delicate and delicious: "You're welcome." Just take it yourself. β
Xiaoqin saw Salad for the first time and asked curiously, "What is this?" β
"Salad." Qingxue and Mingxia spoke in unison.
"What is salad?"
"Mayonnaise tossed with potatoes and cooked meat." Mingxia glanced at Qingxue unexpectedly, "Foreign cold dishes." You taste it, it tastes good. β
Xiaoqin tasted it and nodded: "It's really a cold dish." It's cool, creamy, and delicious. β
The long dining cabinet is lined with a variety of Western dishes, including bacon, chicken tenderloin, sausages, baked fries, chicken wings, pizza, pasta, creamy shrimp cups, and smoked salmon.
Everyone tasted everything, and their stomachs were a little stretched.
Xiaoqin smiled: "It turns out that this is a Western-style buffet." Interesting. β
Mingxia asked, "Do you want to try the dessert?" The pastry chef I hired this time is very skilled. β
There is a small table next to the dining table, full of cakes and desserts.
Mingxia asked again: "Which flavor do you like?" Today, there are four types of cakes: mango, strawberry, orange, and chocolate. And milk pudding. β
Ling Mei hadn't had a dessert for a long, long time. In her previous life, the sweetness of cake licked her heartache and comforted her loneliness, and it was one of her favorite foods, so much so that she blurted out, "Tiramisu." β
Mingxia and Qingxue looked at her together. Ling Mei was speechless: Don't say anything about the village girl, even the people in the city now don't necessarily know that tiramisu is such a rare and luxurious dessert.
The corners of Qingxue's mouth rose: "Mingxia, I like mango mousse." β
Mingxia looked at the two of them in surprise and apprehension. Suddenly, he pursed his lips and smiled: "You guys, real people don't show their faces." β
It's tiramisu again, it's mousse. It seems that her roommate is not as simple as it seems.
The background music changed from lyrical to lively "Jambalaya". With a flicker of light, the lobby turned into a ballroom.
The young men and women danced briskly, and the light snow sang and beat softly, sighing, "This album is so good." β
Ling Mei ate tiramisu in her mouth and nodded in agreement: "Carpenter's songs are good." β
Xiaoqin asked, "This female singer is called Carpenter?" What a rare magnetic voice. β
Fangcao didn't make a sound, and all her curiosity and doubts were pressed back into her stomach.
Boys kept coming to invite Ling Mei and a few people to dance, but unfortunately they were all politely refused. No matter how lively Xiaoqin is, she is embarrassed to dance with strange boys.
At the end of the song, Jiang Yuanyuan's sharp voice suddenly sounded in the center of the stage: "Everyone is having so much fun today, we can't ignore our new friends!" A beam of light followed her instructions and hit Ling Mei's table.
Jiang Yuanyuan sent out an invitation: "You guys should also come and dance." β
Ling Ling was so angry that he grinded his teeth: "Sister Yilin, look at Jiang Yuanyuan." Today I have a birthday and I can't spend time with my classmates! β
Yilin also twisted her eyebrows unhappily: "Yuanyuan is a little too much today." β
Duan Yiyang shook his red wine glass and said coldly: "It's just a classmate from No. 1 Middle School." If you are ugly, you will be ugly. Let her have a long memory in the future, knowing how many pounds and taels she weighs. β
Ling Ling's face sank with her heart. The corners of his mouth crossed with a sneer, and he quietly moved away from Yiyang.
Yilin looked at him in surprise: "Yiyang? When have they offended you? β
Duan Yiyang tugged at the corners of his mouth and didn't speak.
Since Xiao Lingmei had already recognized him, instead of taking the initiative to talk to him, she left herself behind indifferently, and the appearance of no one in her eyes was really angry. Especially seeing that other men were already uncontrollably ready to move, especially Zheng Hao, his eyes barely left Ling Mei's body for a moment, and the fire in his heart had already burned.
He Duan Yiyang has long locked the prey, how can he allow others to covet it?
Lingyu's heart is comfortable. Brother Yiyang is not wrong at all. Her mother said that Xiao Lingmei was of great use, so she let herself take her well. But she just can't get used to her high looks. Obviously she is a peasant girl, what kind of cold goddess is she pretending to be? If you really want to be so high, why did you come here in a hurry as soon as you heard that you were going to join a party? Don't you just want to take the opportunity to climb the high branches?
She has seen a lot of this kind of woman, from a low background, with a bit of intelligence and beauty, she has been pounced on Brother Yiyang and Zheng Hao one after another, and she can't say some indecent words, so she will call them courtesans politely. Lingyu turned up a vicious feeling in her heart: A courtesan like Xiao Lingmei must have a good business.
There was a moment of silence in the ballroom, with a whisper.
Jiang Yuanyuan smiled and stared at the most shy herb. He took her hand and said, "Dance with us." How boring is it to sit there and just eat dessert? β
Fangcao was stunned, her face flushed and helpless.
Mingxia hurriedly pressed Fangcao and said, "Yuanyuan can't help it." We are not good at dancing. β
Jiang Yuanyuan pulled her hand away: "It doesn't matter if you can't dance, I'll teach her." β
Xiaoqin was furious: "Do you know how to be politeβ"
"Miss Jiang, let's do it with me." Ling Mei held down her fried friend. "It's really boring to just sit. It's okay to dance loose and loosen your body. She walked to the center of the stage on her own, her eyes followed her calf-length skirt, white leather shoes with heels and then to the pomelo solid wood floor, and looked up to Jiang Yuanyuan and said, "Irish etude." β
Jiang Yuanyuan's smug smile froze. What did she say?
"Irish Etudes." "If not, as long as it's Irish dance music," Ling Mei repeated. β
Jiang Yuanyuan's smile stiffened. This girl still understands music? Really?
Zheng Hao was shocked and hurriedly flipped out a vinyl disc. The sound of Scottish bagpipes sounded melodiously in the hall, and everyone's eyes were fixed on Ling Mei.
What talent can a peasant girl have? Does her family have money for her to study music, dance, and art? Disgrace is inevitable. Jiang Yuanyuan is also excessive, and she wants to get along with others in order to block her breath with Lingling, which is inevitably mean.
Ling Ling looked at Ling Mei, frowning slightly.
Lingyu felt uneasy. Xiao Lingmei's confident and calm appearance doesn't look like she came out to deliberately run out to show her ugliness.
As the music slowly sounded, Ling Mei lowered her eyes and crossed her arms on her chest, and her heels made a crisp cata sound, and the scene suddenly burst into exclamations: "Tap dance?!" β
Duan Yiyang's face changed slightlyβhow is this possible? A peasant girl who can tap dance?!
Yuanyuan and Lingyu also felt like they were cracked by thunder, and they couldn't believe their eyes.
