Chapter 146: Favorability
Huangfu Ruiling took Ye Leng'an's hand, then lowered his head and gently kissed the back of Ye Leng'an's hand, his expression looked pious and holy.
It seems that what he kissed was not the back of Ye Leng'an's hand, but his faith, which was the only pursuit in his life.
Looking at Huangfu Ruiling's actions, Ye Leng'an's eyes were confused, and his heart was shocked, and then, the corners of his mouth hooked up with a sweet smile.
As soon as that smile appeared, it was like spring flowers blooming and the earth rejuvenated. was as cold and glamorous as an empress, but now she is like a princess who is pampered in every way, innocent and flawless.
In a manor on the outskirts of the Nangong family, the lights are shining at this time, all kinds of luxury cars are coming and going, and a top feast of the wealthy families in the imperial capital is being held.
When the Ye family's car stopped at the door, those who came to the banquet couldn't help but look twice. After all, being able to come to the banquet of the Nangong family is a first-class family in the imperial capital. Therefore, the luxury cars that come here are often tens of millions.
Now tens of millions of luxury cars and luxury cars are mixed into a multimillion, which seems a little out of place.
However, those who were able to come to the banquet were all educated by their families since they were children, and they were naturally very good in terms of cultivation. So, although I think it's strange, I only glance at it for a moment or two, and I don't pay too much attention to it.
Ye Xiyuan sat in the car, her cheeks were a little red, and she didn't know if she was ashamed or because of some other reason. In the past, she always felt that even if the Ye family was not a first-class family in the imperial capital, at least it could be regarded as a wealthy family. However, when she came here today, she knew what a top-notch family was.
Now that she was sitting in the car, she seemed to feel the strange looks of the people outside. However, now that it has come to this point, she can't sit in the car all the time. Moreover, it was Nangong Xuyao who invited her over today. At this time, she must not show any childishness, otherwise Nangong Xuyao's favorability towards her will definitely decline.
Taking a deep breath, Ye Xiyuan opened the car door and slowly got out of the car.
When they saw Ye Xiyuan who got out of the car, many people stopped and took a look. Obviously, no one had ever seen this girl, and they didn't understand why this girl was in this place. After all, as long as a discerning person looks at it, he can see that she is out of place.
Soon, though, everyone knew why she was here. Because they saw that after the girl got out of the car, the young master of Nangong actually came out of the manor and walked towards the girl.
"Hee Won, I'm sorry, I was going to pick you up."
As soon as he heard Ye Xiyuan's arrival, Nangong Xuyao immediately came out of it, his face was sorry, "Because there is something temporary here, there is no way to go over, let you come alone." ”
Since he invited Ye Xiyuan to be his female companion, he should naturally go over to pick up people. It's just that before he planned to go out, he was tripped up by his mother, so he could only let Ye Xiyuan come over by himself.
"It's okay." Ye Xiyuan tilted her head and smiled, "I'm not a child anymore, where do I need to pick it up." I can come here myself! Are you still worried about me getting lost? ”
Hearing Ye Xiyuan's words, Nangong Xuyao couldn't help but smile, and when he looked at Ye Xiyuan, his eyes became more gentle.
At this time, he noticed Ye Xiyuan's dress, and his eyes were full of surprise.
Ye Xiyuan wore a pure white off-the-shoulder dress, and her beautiful collarbone loomed. The fabric of the dress was as white as if it were transparent, slightly glowing, like the wings of an angel, but it was not exposed at all. The hem of the skirt is an arc from high to low, elegantly slightly puffed up, revealing the girl's jade-like white sleeve-length calves, and the corners of the skirt are embellished with crystals, dotted with stars, like countless beautiful morning dew.
She didn't have any extra jewelry, only her hair tied up and a small crown. Make her whole person look as beautiful as a princess who doesn't know anything about the world.
Although he had seen Ye Xiyuan dressed up before, there was no time when he felt so amazing.
Regarding Nangong Xuyao's amazement, Ye Xiyuan saw it in her eyes and was very satisfied in her heart.
For today's dinner, Ye Li also spent a lot of money to prepare this dress for her. The time is too rushed, and in the end, I have to add money to do it today.
I have to say that this dress really magnifies all the advantages of her, which is enough to make her the most dazzling existence in the whole banquet.
obviously knew it, but Ye Xiyuan's face was innocent, "Brother Nangong, what's wrong with you?" Why don't you talk all the time? ”
Ye Xiyuan's words made Nangong Xuyao come back to his senses, he smiled slightly, looked at Ye Xiyuan, and said, "It's nothing, I'm just attracted by you Xiyuan." You're so beautiful today! ”
Hearing Nangong Xuyao's straightforward words, Ye Xiyuan's whole face immediately flushed with shame, she raised her head, her eyes were like silk, and she said coquettishly, "Brother Nangong, what are you talking about!" ”
"I'm just telling the truth." The smile on Nangong Xuyao's face was a little more wanton, "Tonight, my female companion is definitely the attention of the audience." So—"
While speaking, Nangong Xuyao stretched out his arm and continued to speak, "I don't know if I have the honor to invite my beautiful female companion to go in with me?" ”
"Brother Nangong, if you talk nonsense again, I will ignore you."
Although she said this, Ye Xiyuan still stretched out her hand and grabbed Nangong Xuyao's arm.
The two walked towards the banquet site hand in hand. Just looking at the back, it is enough to know that this is definitely a pair of golden boys and girls.
Seeing this scene, many young men and women almost gritted their teeth.
Those men, after seeing Ye Xiyuan's beauty, originally wanted to come forward to talk to them, hoping to have an affair today. As a result, before they could make a move, they were cut off. Moreover, this beard is actually the young master of the Nangong family, so they naturally don't dare to do anything more. After all, there are still a lot of beauties, and it is not worth it at all to offend the Nangong family for the sake of a woman.
As for those women, the object of hatred is obviously Ye Xiyuan. Today, many young ladies are all young masters of Nangong tonight. Now they are preempted by a woman who doesn't know how to run out of that corner, how can they accept it? If it were the people of the four major families at the same time, then they might not be so angry. However, they don't know that person at all now, and they came here in a broken car with millions, and they are definitely not from their circle.
That woman was still dressed up like this, for fear that others wouldn't notice her, it was really shameless.
Many of the daughters present were already secretly working on their minds at the moment, and they must find an opportunity to embarrass that woman later. Let her know that there are some circles that she can't just come into. Without that kind of strength, even if it's hard squeezing, it won't melt in.
Ye Xiyuan didn't know what those people were planning, and at this moment, she had already followed Nangong Xuyao into the banquet hall.
Unlike her last birthday dinner, this time the banquet held by the Nangong family was not known how many times more grand it was. At the venue, everyone was wearing haute couture dresses and was saying this in groups. However, even if you just look at it here, you can feel that the level of these people is completely different from that at her banquet.
It can be said that in today's banquet, people from the top families of the entire imperial capital are gathered. And she has now become one of these people.
Just thinking about this made her feel a fire in her heart. At the same time, the ambition in my heart is also like the weeds, constantly soaring.
As soon as Ye Xiyuan appeared, she attracted everyone's attention. Not only because of her beauty, but also because she is standing by Nangong Xuyao's side at the moment.
Everyone knows that Nangong Xuyao has never had a woman by his side.
For a long time, Nangong Xuyao was alone every time he attended a banquet, and even the young women of the family did not accompany him. However, now at the banquet held by the Nangong family, Nangong Xuyao attended with a woman in the open. The most important thing is that looking at the actions of the two, it is full of ambiguity, and it is not like the relationship of ordinary friends.
"Hee Won, let me take you to meet my mother!" Nangong Xuyao looked at Ye Xiyuan standing beside him, with a hint of tenderness on his face, "My mother has wanted to see you for a long time." ”
"Are you going to see Auntie?" A trace of nervousness flashed in Ye Xiyuan's eyes, "Then Brother Nangong, what kind of person is Auntie?" Do you think she'll like me? ”
Although the object of her mission this time was Nangong Xuyao's mother, she was still a little nervous when she heard that she was really going to see the real person.
has been able to sit firmly in the position of the head mother of the Nangong family for so many years, such a woman, and her mother Chen Wanqin are definitely not a person of the same rank.
Therefore, those little tricks in front of my mother may not be able to be used in front of Mrs. Nangong.
And her most important purpose today is to win the love of this Nangong lady. Of course, this is not only for the completion of the task promulgated by the system, but also for the future of her and Nangong Xuyao. Although she was very sure that Nangong Xuyao liked her now. However, if she wants to be able to become the young lady of the Nangong family, then the support of Mrs. Nangong, that is, Nangong Xuyao's mother, is very important to her.
Soon, Nangong Xuyao took Ye Xiyuan to his mother, that is, the current head mother of the Nangong family, Murong Yanshu, and then solemnly introduced, "Mother, this is the Ye Xiyuan I once mentioned to you. ”
Murong Yanshu, as today's hostess and the head of the Nangong family, does not need to socialize with others. At this moment, she sat there, watching everything that happened at the banquet, and the butler stood by and waited.
Therefore, when Nangong Xuyao took Ye Xiyuan into the banquet hall for the first time, she had already seen it. Perhaps long before Ye Xiyuan came, she already knew about the existence of such a person.
Of course, she also knew that Ye Xiyuan had saved Nangong Xuyao's life. Therefore, at the beginning, although she had never seen this girl named Ye Xiyuan, she still had a good impression in her heart.
However, even if she had some good feelings, she still sent someone to investigate this Ye Xiyuan's situation. Of course, she knew very well that her son would look into it.
It's just that unlike Nangong Xuyao, after getting the investigation report, her good impression of Ye Xiyuan, a girl, plummeted. She is also a woman, so she can see Ye Xiyuan's little tricks clearly. She knew very well that it was definitely a scheming girl.
If it were a normal time, she might appreciate such a girl. Because such a girl is smart and knows how to advance and retreat. However, if his son likes such a girl, it is a different matter. She hopes that in the future, her daughter-in-law will be a famous daughter, and she can have scheming, but she will use it for the overall situation, not on some trivial things. Coupled with that kind of growth environment, it is simply not enough to take on the responsibility of being a big family mother.
When this Ye Xiyuan followed Xu Yao in just now, she could see the ambition in this girl's eyes when she looked at it from a distance.
Ambition can be had, but if the ability is not enough, then all ambition is a joke.
"So you're Hee Won!" Although his heart has turned a thousand times, Murong Yanshu's face has not shown it at all, "I have already heard Xu Yao say that if you hadn't saved him, maybe he would-"
When she said this, her tone was a little choked.
Indeed, she is really grateful to Ye Xiyuan for saving Nangong Xuyao. Nangong Xuyao is her only son and her life, she can't imagine that if Nangong Xuyao really has something long and two short at that time, then what should she do.
"Auntie, I just happened to be passing by." Ye Xiyuan seemed a little shy, she smiled slightly, and said, "Moreover, even if there is no me, it will be someone else." Nangong's brother Jiren has his own natural appearance, and he will definitely be fine. ”
Although she was not as affectionate as she seemed to Ye Xiyuan in her heart, Murong Yanshu was still in a good mood when she heard such words, she nodded with a smile and said, "It seems that girls are still warm-hearted!" Miss Ye speaks really nicely. ”
Hearing Murong Yanshu's praise, Ye Xiyuan lowered her head a little shyly.
And in fact, at this moment, she is already calling for the system in her heart, "System, what is Nangong Xuyao's mother's favorability towards me now?" ”
Looking at Murong Yanshu's appearance, she felt that her task today should be completed soon. Sure enough, as long as she has the aura of Nangong Xuyao's life-saving benefactor, it will be much easier for her to win Murong Yanshu's favor.
It's just that when she heard the mechanical voice of the system answer, she felt impossible.
According to the system's detection, Murong Yanshu's favorability towards the host is only fifty percent now. The host needs to have at least 80% opinion to complete the task. ”
"What?" After getting the system's answer, Ye Xiyuan's expression was almost uncontrollable, "Nangong Xuyao's mother obviously likes me very much, how can she only have a 50% favorability?" Did you make a mistake? ”
Then Murong Yanshu was obviously kind and pleasant when she faced her, how could her favorability be so low? Not even the passing line was reached.
The mechanical voice sounded in Ye Xiyuan's mind again, this time even with a hint of seriousness, "There will be no mistakes in the detection of the system, I hope the host will continue to work hard." If the host continues to question the rigor of the system, it will be punished. ”
As soon as she heard the punishment, Ye Xiyuan couldn't help but give a cold war. As long as she remembered the painful punishment last time, she felt a little scared.
"Hee Won, what's wrong?" As if sensing that something was wrong with Ye Xiyuan beside him, Nangong Xuyao asked with a concerned face, "Is there something uncomfortable?" ”
"yes!" Murong Yanshu also looked concerned, "Miss Ye, otherwise I'll let someone take you to take a rest!" ”
Looking at Murong Yanshu's concerned appearance, Ye Xiyuan's heart was cold. If it weren't for the system detecting that Murong Yanshu's favorability towards her was so low, she might really think that the other party was caring about her now. Sure enough, those women in the big family were really not to be underestimated, and even she almost believed the look of concern.
If she is really taken down to rest now, then tonight's banquet, I'm afraid she won't be able to come out again. Now it seems that it is really not easy to get Murong Yanshu's favor!
"Auntie, I'm fine." Ye Xiyuan showed an innocent smile on her face and said, "It's just that I looked at my aunt so kindly, and for a while, I was a little flattered." ”
While the few were talking, a servant hurried in and whispered a few words in the butler's ear, as if to report something.
Soon, Murong Yanshu stood up, then looked at Nangong Xuyao, and said, "The head and wife of the Huangfu family have arrived, let's go and greet them now!" ”
They are the same four major families, and now the head and wife of the Huangfu family have come over in person, and as the master family, they naturally have to greet them in person.
When Murong Yanshu spoke, she just looked at Nangong Xuyao, and she didn't even mention Ye Xiyuan.
For a while, Ye Xiyuan was a little embarrassed, because she didn't know whether she should follow her or stay where she was.
"Hee Won, let's go over together!" Nangong Xuyao also seemed to notice Ye Xiyuan's discomfort, he looked at Ye Xiyuan beside him, and proposed with a smile, "You are my female companion today, and you should come with me." ”
After hearing Nangong Xuyao's words, Ye Xiyuan was very happy, but before she could answer, she was interrupted by Murong Yanshu.
"Xu Yao, Miss Ye followed us over, something is wrong! The person who came now is the head and wife of the Huangfu family, if Miss Ye comes with us, what kind of identity should she have! So, let's let Miss Ye wait here for a while! ”
After speaking, Murong Yanshu turned her head, looked at Ye Xiyuan, and said with a smile, "Miss Ye, you don't mind my arrangement!" ”
"Of course I don't mind, Auntie is right." Ye Xiyuan had a smile on her face, "I'll only be more restrained if I go with me, so I'd better stay here." ”
At such a time, she naturally wanted to go with her. However, Murong Yanshu had already said this, if she insisted on following the past, she would only offend Murong Yanshu, and it would be even more difficult to gain Murong Yanshu's favorability at that time. Since this is the case, it is better to show that you are decent and generous, and see if you can get a little more favorability from Murong Yanshu.
Nangong Xuyao originally wanted to say something, but when he heard Ye Xiyuan say this, he didn't continue to persuade him. However, he still asked the housekeeper to stay and take care of Ye Xiyuan.
Ye Xiyuan watched Murong Yanshu and Nangong Xuyao leave, with a smile on her face all the time, and she couldn't see any grievances.
Regarding Ye Xiyuan's acquaintance behavior, Murong Yanshu had a little more affection for her. She felt that at least this girl could recognize her identity and would not mess around.
When she heard that the system was reporting that Murong Yanshu's favorability had risen to fifty-five percent, Ye Xiyuan breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, she was secretly glad that she had guessed correctly. At this rate, if you want to complete the task tonight, you should be able to do it.
After Murong Yanshu and Nangong Xuyao left, she turned around, looked at the housekeeper on the side, and said with a smile, "Uncle housekeeper, if you have something to do, you can leave first, I can do it alone." ”
After saying that, she smiled sweetly at the butler, looking like a little girl who did not know anything about the world.
The housekeeper on the side had no change in his face, and he still said respectfully, "Miss Ye, since the young master asked me to follow you, then my current accusation is to take care of you." ”
Looking at the housekeeper's insistent appearance, Ye Xiyuan didn't say anything more. Moreover, she felt that it might be a good thing for the housekeeper to stay by her side at this time.
She had already seen that there were many young ladies at the banquet who were hostile to her. Now that Nangong Xuyao has left, those women are already ready to move, probably trying to embarrass her!
Of course, she is not afraid of these people. However, she came with a mission today, and if the mission failed because of these people, it would be too worthless. Therefore, with the housekeeper of the Nangong family, at least these people can be deterred.
Now the most important thing for her is to think of a way to see how to improve Murong Yanshu's favorability towards herself as soon as possible. Although Murong Yanshu's favorability towards her has risen a little now, there is still some distance from success.
On the other side, Murong Yanshu had already brought Nangong Xuyao to the door, and happened to meet the imperial husband Jingzhang and Zhong Yuliuying, who entered the door. Behind them was their youngest son, Huangfu Ruixiang.
Because Nangong Xuyao's father, that is, the head of the Nangong family, was talking about business in a foreign country and couldn't come back, everything tonight had to rely on Murong Yanshu, the housewife, to make Zhang Luo.
After meeting, everyone greeted each other.
