Chapter 157: Avoiding Suspicion
As Zhong Ling said, today is just a small family banquet, and they are all people who are related to the Si family, not ordinary people can participate, so as to avoid a lot of idlers.
The servants of the Si family were very kind when they saw Ye Qiusheng, and they also asked for warmth.
It was a party held in a side hall of the Si family, with warm yellow lighting, illuminating the low-key luxury of the dance hall.
There is a small garden at the door, and in the center is a Chinese-style hexagonal stone pavilion, with crab claw orchid pink and tender, camellia top snow in full bloom, and a piece of winter is full of vitality.
"Yo, why did my sister come alone, Da Shao? Why don't you come to celebrate with his brother, and my sister comes alone?"
Ye Qiusheng was about to annoy Ye Tongshan, and the three of them talked about both sides.
Ye Qiusheng lifted her away with a wave of his hand, "Ye Tongshan, if you are very idle, go find a class."
"My sister is talking so majesticly now, no wonder, the Internet says that you are an elite female president, but I don't know how comfortable you are stepping on my sister's position!"
This Lin Daiyu's literature has been thoroughly studied by her, how disgusting it is for my sister to listen to it.
Ye Qiusheng directly pinched her eagle beak, and in an instant her mouth became like a pea shooter.
"Ye Tongshan, if you are afraid of death, don't look for me."
The people around were taken aback, how could they suddenly start moving, everyone is a famous lady, and they can't avoid seeing this kind of thing.
But they all look back frequently and watch the show from a distance
Ye Tongshan's cheeks were sunken and sore, her eyes glanced left and right, and she suddenly slapped her hand away angrily.
"What are you doing! With so many people here, are you trying to threaten me in public?" said that he was aggrieved, "I don't know where to make my sister unhappy, I have to embarrass me in public."
Ye Qiusheng took a deep breath, what happened to him recently.
"Don't shout and scream."
Mrs. Ye appeared behind Ye Tongshan in time.
Ye Tongshan's unresolved tears were instantly held back, and he could only pretend to wipe the corners of his eyes.
Old Mrs. Ye turned around and glared at her, pointed at her and said, "Take back your fake tears, it's all everyone's ladies, what's the trouble."
Ye Tongshan was so frightened that she couldn't figure out why the old lady was suddenly so fierce, and shouted aggrievedly, "Grandma~"
Jiang Wenhui hurriedly hugged Ye Tongshan in order to prevent the old lady from saying anything serious, and educated.
"Shanshan, what are you messing with your sister, it's all a family, I thought it was the two sisters who had a quarrel when you were a child, your sister is busy with work now, and the pressure is very high."
It's very intimate, and it looks like educating people, but it's easy to make things smaller.
Ye Tongshan was really wronged now, she didn't do anything, just said hello to her, said two words, and one by two were towards her, and now she is really good.
Ye Tongshan twisted her body and whispered, "Mom, you don't even ask what's wrong, just come up and say I, grandma protects her, and you too."
Jiang Wenhui looked disgusted, "You can shut up, don't provoke her head-on today, go."
Jiang Wenhui said hello to the old lady twice with a smile, and squeezed Ye Tongshan's body and left.
Jiang Wenhui passed by Ye Qiusheng, with a little smell of herbs.
The old lady took Ye Qiusheng's hand and led her to Old Man Si's side.
"I've heard some things, and I've found out some things, your brother, you've gone a little too far."
obviously didn't say it clearly, but the two of them were like Spiegel in their hearts.
Ye Qiusheng didn't know how to reply, so he only said, "We'll solve it ourselves."
The old lady sighed, "Ye Cheng, this child also grew up under my watch, and his heart is not bad, but when he was young, he encountered something and failed to solve it properly.
Ye Qiusheng heard the feeling in his heart, and when it came to his face, it was a cold face.
"I don't mean to speak for him, girl, but I still have to explain some things to you, Ye Cheng has done a lot for the Ye family, how has the Ye family risen over the years
It's all up to him, but as an older brother, he has a lack of behavior."
"I don't think you can't carry the burden, you are talented, and you are also smart, but there is a specialization in the art industry, people's energy is very limited, it is difficult enough to do what you like well, to fight for the superfluous, you don't like it so much, there is no need."
"What do you think?"
The old lady scrambled for an eye, approaching Ye Qiusheng with a little expectation, and was even a little childish.
The words are not so comfortable to listen to, although objectively speaking, they are very correct, but there is a breath that they can't swallow, and when they hurt and insult her, they have no scruples.
Ye Qiusheng still had to take into account their contribution to the Ye family.
"Grandma, I'm not happy."
Ye Qiusheng didn't give a good face, but the old lady happily scratched the tip of her nose.
"Girl, I don't understand it for you, but you'll understand it when you reach my age."
"Good evening, Old Lady Ye."
Coming was the head of the Zeng family, Zeng Yuan's father.
"Good, good." The old lady nodded and patted the back of Ye Qiusheng's hand.
Ye Qiusheng bowed his head to show respect.
"This is Akisheng, right?"
"My granddaughter." The old lady hugged Ye Qiusheng's shoulder, as if introducing a baby.
"This is actually the first time I've seen it, it's a family in the blink of an eye, Xiaoyuan wants to call her sister-in-law, hahaha."
Zeng Jia smiled heartily.
Ye Qiusheng understood that he was directly clarifying his position, after all, the old man didn't recognize her.
Ye Qiusheng also followed his words, "Family, there will be opportunities to meet in the future."
"Ah, okay." Zeng Jia was happy.
The old lady smiled and pulled her forward and continued, "This Zeng family is smart."
"yes, his daughter isn't very smart."
Ye Qiusheng blurted out subconsciously.
The old lady was still a little surprised, and then turned to smile, "Your generation is very lively."
Old lady Si is now surrounded by a group of people, but today's real protagonist is missing.
Old lady Si saw Mrs. Ye in the gap in the crowd and beckoned to her enthusiastically.
"Let's go say hello to your grandfather?"
Ye Qiusheng's footsteps froze, and he broke free from his grandmother's hand, "No, I'll come over often in the future, you two old friends can have something to say."
Ye Qiusheng grabbed the old lady's shoulders and pushed her forward.
The old lady looked back and smiled helplessly, "You girl, the bigger you are, the more you have your own ideas."
Ye Qiusheng also clearly felt that the old lady was not as majestic as before recently, and she was so gentle and kind that she couldn't speak.
In the past, she always held an old lady's shelf, because of the death of Old Man Ye, the Ye family relied on her alone, and she was used to being strong.
Ye Ruwen was also greatly influenced by her education and took up the burden of the Ye family very early.
Ye Qiusheng looked at her back and turned around warmly in his heart.
Then it was next a big jump.
A man's shoulder.
"Si Chuyan, what are you doing out of nowhere!"
The boy wears a peacock blue suit, youthful and beautiful, with a unique personality, but not frivolous at all.
"What did you do wrong, so empty-hearted." Si Chuyan smiled softly, stretched out his finger and flicked her head.
"Sss Ye Qiusheng resisted the urge to scold him, "The little young master is very idle, I heard that he has taken over as the vice president of the Si family, what is going to happen next, he plans to be the president?"
"Are you going to follow me as president?"
If it weren't for the joke in his words, Ye Qiusheng would really have turned his face.
"Just leave us a way out."
Here, Ye Qiusheng and Si Chuyan were talking, and there were people waiting behind them with wine glasses.
"Little master, don't you go to socialize, you just returned to China, you don't make some contacts, what will you do after that."
"You care about me."
The two of them were in tune with every word, but they were telling the truth.
"Let's go, get out and take a breath."
Si Chuyan raised his chin at the door.
Ye Qiusheng also planned to go back after a few words with him.
"I thought you wouldn't come to celebrate if you avoided suspicion."
There was a little grievance in the words.
Ye Qiusheng disagreed.
"What do we avoid, what do we avoid."
"Hey, the falling flowers are intentional, and the flowing water is ruthless—"
Si Chuyan's voice was loud, and Ye Qiusheng panicked and covered his mouth.
"What are you talking about?"
Si Chuyan looked at Ye Qiusheng with a smile in his eyes, and he looked uncomfortable.
Ye Qiusheng's hand stiffened for a second and put it down, turning his head away, a little unnatural, "If you don't talk like this, you won't be able to speak clearly when the time comes."
"I also said that I wouldn't avoid suspicion." Si Chuyan playfully pinched her earlobe.
Ye Qiusheng slapped him on the hand, "You settle down, don't you listen!"
But there was no sense of annoyance at all, Ye Qiusheng knew that he liked to play around, and he was a disproportionate.
But when others see it, it's the same as flirting.
"Did you come today empty-handed?"
Two people sit by the pond, which is relatively secluded and suitable for talking, surrounded by rockeries and no lights.
Ye Qiusheng felt that it was not suitable to stay for a long time.
Ye Qiusheng glanced at him, "What kind of gift do you want here?"
Si Chuyan sighed, "Look at you, Dongxi is so big, and you don't lack jewelry, you don't want to give me as perfunctory?"
"I've just returned to China, I haven't been back for a long time, and I don't have a meeting gift, if I hadn't held a reception banquet at home, you would definitely not have thought of picking me up and washing the dust."
"You've been back for a few days, you've seen each other a long time ago, what's there to catch the wind."
Ye Qiusheng is a typical straight daughter of steel, unmoved.
Si Chuyan picked up a stone, flew out sideways, jumped on the water several times, and finally smashed it into the pond.
"The first day I came back, I came to see you, you haven't read my news yet, you have no conscience.".
This time it's Ye Qiusheng's turn to "tsk".
"You're back to see me, you're on your way to the board on the first day you came back."
"Eh, you woman, you don't get oil and salt."
Si Chuyan really wanted to open her little brain and see what she was thinking.
Si Chuyan handed over a box in the dark.
Ye Qiusheng couldn't see the appearance of the box clearly, but it looked very textured, and he glanced at Si Chuyan suspiciously.
But he didn't look at her, as if he was careless.
Ye Qiusheng took the wooden box, there was still some weight, and the concave and convex texture on his hand showed that there was a carving on the box, and there was a faint woody fragrance.
Ye Qiusheng opened the box, and there was a string of beads inside, Ye Qiusheng couldn't immediately determine what it was, so he could only turn his eyes to look at Si Chuyan.
"What is this?"
