At the end of the banquet, after handing over the rest of the matter to the family and housekeeper to deal with, Yan Yi returned to his room drunk and collapsed on the sofa to rest.

The nanny came in to care, but was silently waved away by Yan Yi.

After a while, Yan Su received the news and came to the room, and saw his younger brother lying on the sofa with the smell of alcohol, and his face was filled with distress and concern.

"Xiao Yi? How are you? ”

"I'm fine." Yan Yi's eyelids didn't move.

Seeing that he looked tired, Yan Su didn't ask any more questions, and went out to whisper to the nanny to cook the sobering soup.

A few minutes later, the nanny brought the steaming decanting soup.

Yan Su waved his hand to signal the nanny to step back, and waited until the sobering soup was almost cold before shouting to wake up Yan Yi.

Seeing him drinking soup with his eyes down, Yan Sushi couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart, "Xiao Yi, what do you think?" ”

Yan Yi raised his eyes, his eyes were a little misty with the smell of wine, "What do you think?" ”

Yan Su stopped talking, and seemed to be afraid of being heard, so he got up and closed the door before returning to the sofa, "The surname is Shen, what are you calling her for?" She has a family and you ...... too."

"Shen Mingzhu is here?"

Yan Su was stunned by his rhetorical question, "You, don't you know?" ”

Yan Yi put down the soup, got up and buttoned his coat, and the wine in his eyes was gradually replaced by a smile and a clear feeling.

"I didn't invite her, but since she's here, I'll have to meet her."

Yan Su: "......"

Go crazy!

……

Yan Yi took the wine glass and walked straight towards Shen Mingzhu's table.

Everywhere he passed, the guests raised their glasses and wanted to make friends, but he waved his hand one by one and declined, so he walked straight towards the person in the field of vision, unswerving.

……

Shen Mingzhu was about to leave with the father and son, but as soon as he got together, he saw Yan Yi walking towards this side with a wine glass.

Pei Yang took a glass of wine casually, turned around to meet Yan Yi, and his tall body intentionally or unintentionally blocked the petite Shen Mingzhu behind him.

"Mr. Yan, congratulations."

Yan Yi touched him with the cup, and his voice was light, "Thank you." ”

Pei Yang smiled very happily, "You're welcome, you and Miss Zhong are talented and beautiful, a match made in heaven, you will definitely be able to grow old and never separate." ”

Yan Yi looked at him and said with a smile: "Except for your unique vision in the matter of marriage, your eyes don't seem to be very good in other things." ”

Pei Yang pretended not to hear his irony, "That is, being able to marry my daughter-in-law is the wisest and greatest luck in my life." ”

The environment was noisy, and Pei Ziheng's tall body was in the way, Shen Mingzhu couldn't hear what the two were talking about, and thought that the two had a good conversation, so he also stepped forward with a cup.

"Yan Yi, congratulations."

"Thank you."

Yan Yi smiled and clinked glasses with her, the thick night well covered the emotion that flashed in his eyes, "I'm too busy tonight to bother to greet you, I'm sorry." ”

"It's okay, we're eating well."

After a pause, Shen Mingzhu talked about dried tofu and spicy strips, "...... Thank you for choosing the spicy strips and dried tofu from our food factory. ”

Yan Yi smiled, "You're welcome, I chose it because it's worth it." ”

Although the two were just talking like ordinary friends, it did not prevent Pei Yang from overturning the vinegar jar.

He couldn't wait to pull his daughter-in-law away from here immediately, but he didn't want his daughter-in-law to think that he was too small-bellied, and even interfered with her normal social interactions.

"Mom, I'm sleepy."

Hearing Pei Ziheng shouting sleepy, Shen Mingzhu didn't care about greeting Yan Yi anymore, and bent down and gently coaxed Pei Ziheng and said, "Then we will go home now, and we can sleep when we go home." ”

Pei Ziheng nodded obediently, "Hmm." ”

Pei Yang took the opportunity to say goodbye: "Thank you for your hospitality, we'll leave." ”

Yan Yi bowed, "I'll arrange for the driver to send you." ”

"No hassle."

Yan Yi looked at him, "It's not troublesome, I just hope that your family can suffer less, the night is cool, and it is a short walk from here to the station." ”

Pei Yang couldn't argue.

"Thank you for your kindness, let's go back by ourselves, it's not far away, it just happens that we eat too much at night, so we should eat it."

Shen Mingzhu spoke up, but Yan Yi didn't force it anymore.

His gaze fell on Shen Mingzhu for a second, and he turned his head and motioned for Dong Hua to send them away.

Seeing the back of a family of three far away, after a long time, Yan Yi raised his hand and poured the wine in the cup into his throat.

……

The wine was scattered, and the Yan family's subordinates and external service personnel cleaned up the venue in an orderly manner.

These people are all carefully trained, and they are neatly behaved, except for the slight noise of cups, dishes and chopsticks colliding, there is no noise in the huge banquet hall.

Yan Yi and the Yan family sent the Zhong family away together.

"Won't my sister go back with us?"

Hearing his daughter's reminder, Father Zhong looked left and right, turned his head and asked his wife, "Where are the Qinqing people?" ”

Zhong Mu hurriedly explained, "Qin Qin is not strong enough to drink, so it is estimated that he is still resting in the lounge." ”

Yan's mother immediately said, "I'll take a look." ”

"I'll go, Dad, Mom, you send Uncle and Aunt."

"It's fine."

Yan's mother looked at her son approvingly, "Go ahead, take good care of Qinqing." ”

"Hmm."

Yan Yi turned around and went in the direction of the guest room, and the people of the Yan family continued to send the Zhong family out, laughing and feasting all the way, obviously both parties were very satisfied with today's engagement banquet.

……

"Knock knock."

"Please come in."

Yan Yi pushed the door into the lounge and put a cup of bee water on the coffee table in front of Zhong Jing, "It will be more comfortable to drink some water." ”

"Thank you."

Zhong Jing sat up straight, picked up the water cup and was about to drink it, when he suddenly thought of something and raised his head, "You see Mingzhu, right?" ”

Yan Yi sat on the single sofa diagonally opposite her, "Well, she and her family have gone back." ”

"That's good."

Zhong Jing curled his lips and smiled, bowing his head to drink.

When she put down the water glass, Yan Yi spoke, "Do you need to stay overnight?" I'll ask someone to arrange a room for you, and your family has already left first. ”

"No, I'll go back too."

Yan Yi got up, "I'll send you out." ”

"Okay."

……

It was close to 12 o'clock in the morning when Zhong Jing got home.

The Zhong family is estimated to have already slept, and the empty and gorgeous house is extremely quiet, only Zhong's mother is sitting alone on the sofa in the living room, holding her forehead with one hand and closing her eyes to recuperate.

Hearing her come back, Zhong Mu slowly sat up straight and looked at her, with a warm smile on her face, "Are you back?" ”

Zhong Jing stood silent.

Mother Zhong got up and walked in front of her, raised her hand to help her comb her somewhat messy broken hair, and her tone was very gentle, "I'm tired after a busy day, I'll let someone help you put the water, you take a good dip, take a shower and go to the study, your father is waiting for you." ”

Zhong Jing brushed away Zhong's mother's hand in disgust and went upstairs to his room.

Closing the door, she leaned her back against the door panel, and her delicate body wrapped in a cheongsam slowly slid down and squatted on the ground, burying her head in her knees, her shoulders trembling slightly.

I don't know how long later, there was a knock on the door behind him, "Miss, my lord, please go to his room." ”

"Miss?"

"Miss, have you slept?"

Because she didn't wait for a long time to respond, the nanny outside the door continued to knock.

It wasn't until Zhong Jing raised his hand and smashed the door panel that the knocking stopped.
