Ye Xu directly turned his face away and avoided the complicated gaze from his father.
Ruan Ling summarized the conversation between himself and Xu Chenyan, picked up the key points and Ye Jingchi.
After listening, Ye Jingchi's expression was a little subtle.
"And then ......," Ye Jingchi asked, "and he's gone?" β
Ruan Ling nodded: "Yes, but before leaving, he still said...... Ye Xu, what is he talking to you? β
Ye Xu answered expressionlessly: "He told me not to meddle in my affairs at a young age." β
"Yes, yes." Ruan Ling couldn't help laughing, "That's what I said." β
Xu Chenyan probably thought that Ye Xu happened to appear nearby to see the excitement, so he warned him before leaving.
"It seems that he is really afraid of being heard." Ruan Ling muttered, "Could it be that I said it unintentionally?" β
Ruan Ling lowered his head and thought for a while, and asked Ye Jingchi: "How old is this Xu Chenyan, do you know?" β
Ye Jingchi was slightly stunned, and then replied: "Thirty years old." β
The man has an excellent memory, and he remembered it after reading the information once the day before yesterday.
Ruan Ling glanced at Ye Jingchi suspiciously, thinking to herself, is there still a fictional age written on the information of this era?
But she didn't think about it, and continued to mumble: "That is, it's actually less than thirty, so it shouldn't be ......."
After saying this, the air seemed to freeze a little.
Ruan Ling raised his eyes and found that a certain man, who had been over thirty years old for several years, was looking at him with a puzzled expression.
On the other side, a sixteen-year-old boy stared at the tablecloth without squinting.
Ruan Ling: "......"
She cleared her throat and went to see the stage performance.
After a few seconds, Ruan Ling's eyebrows moved slightly: "This is a bit out of tune, isn't it that I was hit too hard before?" β
When Xu Chenyan first sang, although it sounded different from professional singers, at least the tune was still there.
However, now Ruan Ling had only listened carefully for a short ten seconds, and had already heard him run three times.
The seats arranged by the organizers for the Ye family are one of the best, almost facing the center of the stage, very close to the performers.
Ruan Ling looked over inquiringly, and happened to meet Xu Chenyan on the stage.
Xu Chenyan's body stiffened, and his voice trembled obviously.
Ruan Ling wondered: Is she so scary?
Or is it true that men will be hit so hard by this kind of thing?
Ruan Ling turned his head and just wanted to ask Ye Jingchi, but found that he was also looking at Xu Chenyan on the stage.
Ye Jingchi's eyes were deep, his face was gloomy, and he exuded a powerful aura of "taking the enemy's head thousands of miles away".
Ruan Ling: "......"
solved the case, not scared by her, but scared by Ye Jingchi.
For the sake of the audience's ears, Ruan Ling kindly sandwiched a piece of pork ribs for Ye Jingchi: "Try it." β
In the next second, Xu Chenyan on the stage broke another tone.
β¦β¦
After Xu Chenyan's performance, the host began to read out the list of donations.
Ruan Ling has roughly figured out the pattern, and every time a program passes, the host will announce the names of three or four donors.
This
The first to be announced was the Su family, and Ms. Su Qin donated 10 million yuan to UNICEF.
Ruan Ling looked over curiously, but unfortunately the Ye family's table was separated from the Su family, and she could only see a vague silhouette.
Then the host read "Mr. Ye Jingchi", and paused after reading it.
Ye Jingchi stood up gracefully and waved his hand, and there was an unprecedented warm applause all around.
Ruan Ling looked up at him, and was feeling in his heart that men do have the demeanor of successful people.
The next moment, the host read "Ms. Ruan Ling" again.
Ruan Ling was slightly stunned, and then slowly got up in Ye Jingchi's smiling gaze and waved his hand.
The host announced that the two had jointly donated 20 million, the most so far.
Ruan Ling realized that on average, he was also a person who had donated 10 million to the foundation.
Sure enough, no matter what the data is, I'm afraid of average.
But no matter what, she is stained with Ye Jingchi's light, and she is also a charity person.
This feeling is quite amazing, especially when the host pronounces the words "Ms. Ruan Ling".
Ruan Ling realized these words in his heart and looked at Ye Jingchi.
In the past, when the host read that the husband and wife donated together, most of them used the man's name plus "Mr.", and the man's surname plus "Mrs." to refer to the two respectively.
The host will read out her name in particular, which should be Ye Jingchi's arrangement.
Sure enough, when Ye Jingchi saw her look over, a faint smile appeared on his face.
β¦β¦
In the list of donations in this group, the last to be announced was the Meng family.
Ruan Ling pondered for a while, and felt that the order of this announcement should be based on the financial resources of each family.
In other words, if the organizer Meng family is not included in the ranking, the strength of the Ye family and the Su family should be unique.
In this way, Su Junruo and Ye Xu are indeed very good matches, but it is a pity that Luohua is intentionally ruthless.
After all the donors were announced, the organizers began to give speeches on the stage.
The old man of the Meng family who spoke looked in good spirits, not at all like an old man in his seventies.
The old man speaks very slowly and is very leader-like.
Ruan Ling happened to be a little full, and after listening to it for two minutes, she began to fall asleep, feeling like she was in a math class in the third year of high school.
I want to sleep, but I don't dare to sleep.
She glanced at the "old leader's" speech and saw that there were at least two pages in the back.
The scene was much quieter than before, and everyone tacitly agreed not to speak loudly, only occasionally talking to each other.
However, Ruan Ling observed for half a minute and found that one or two people occasionally got up to go to the bathroom.
After thinking about it, Ruan Ling stretched out his hand from under the table and lightly touched Ye Jingchi's hand.
Ye Jingchi's eyes darkened, and he looked at her sideways.
Ruan Ling scratched the back of the man's hand twice with her fingertips, motioning for him to lean over.
Ye Jingchi really understood immediately, and leaned closer slightly.
Ruan Ling leaned over Ye Jingchi's ear and whispered, "Can I go out for a walk?" So sleepy. β
The warm breath sprayed in the man's ears.
Ye Jingchi's body paused, looking at Ruan Ling
glanced at it, and then a smile appeared in his eyes.
He nodded his head, and then gave Ye Xu a look.
As early as when the two approached to exchange the first word, Ye Xu's gaze had already drifted over.
His eyes flickered, and he looked a little curious, but he couldn't bear to look at it.
After seeing Ruan Ling slowly stand up, Ye Xu immediately understood and stood up with her.
β¦β¦
"Ahh Walking out of the venue, Ruan Ling stretched and sighed.
"Sure enough, the air outside is still fresher!"
When she first entered the venue, she also sighed that it was worthy of a dinner hosted by a top wealthy family, and even the incense in the air was very high-end.
But no matter how good the incense is, you will get tired of smelling too much, and there are many people in the venue, mixed with countless smells including various perfume smells, and you will still feel stuffy after staying for a long time.
Ruan Ling felt that she was so sleepy just now, in addition to eating enough blood to digest it in her stomach, most likely because of insufficient air circulation.
Coming to the outside of the banquet hall, Ruan Ling instantly felt a lot refreshed.
She looked around.
The place where the dinner was held was the Meng family's winery, with a small garden in front of it.
"Let's go!" Ruan Ling pointed in one direction and turned back to Ye Xu, "Let's go over there and have a look." β
Ye Xu was originally sent to accompany Ruan Ling, so naturally he didn't have any opinions.
The two men walked towards the garden.
There is a fountain in the garden, which looks ordinary during the day and is beaten by the lights at night, but it has a bit more atmosphere.
Ruan Ling circled around the fountain, took out his mobile phone to unlock it, and handed it to Ye Xu: "Come, help me take a few photos." β
Anyway, being idle outside is idle, so it's better to find something to do.
Ye Xu took the phone with kindness and lowered his head to open the camera.
Ruan Ling was just about to turn around and go to the fountain to take a recess, but his footsteps were stunned again.
She glanced at Ye Xu.
Ruan Ling felt that she had reason to suspect that Ye Xu had never taken pictures of women.
The young man's eyes were quite innocent, and when he saw her, he asked, "What's wrong?" β
Ruan Ling: "Have you ever taken a picture of a girl?" β
Ye Xu's eyes flickered: "...... No. β
Ruan Ling: "......"
&n
bsp; She knew it.
Ye Xu defended himself: "But I know how to take pictures." β
"Knowing" is not the same as "being able to shoot", Ruan Ling thought to herself.
Ruan Ling remembered that she had seen a topic of complaining about male photos on social platforms before, and the photos in it were absolutely strange.
But now, she has no other choice.
Ruan Ling looked at Ye Xu and said righteously: "Then you shoot well, you must make me look good." β
She didn't want to pose for half a day and end up with a bunch of ugly photos from different angles.
Ye Xu: "...... Well. β
Ruan Ling thought about it for a while, but still didn't feel at ease, and stretched out his hand: "You give me the phone first." β
Ye Xu's hand subconsciously shrank back: "What's wrong?" β
Ruan Ling raised her eyebrows: "You give it to me first." β
Ye Xu: "......"
The boy silently handed her the phone.
Ruan Ling first turned on the grid line of the camera, and then gestured towards the fountain and walked to the appropriate distance.
Then she raised her mobile phone and taught Ye Xu on the spot: "You will stand here for a while, hold the mobile phone to a position about the height of my eyes, and the lens will be slightly magnified......"
After saying it, Ruan Ling said seriously: "Remember?" β
Ye Xu nodded, his expression looking a little ignorant.
Ruan Ling frowned suspiciously: "Then you repeat it?" β
Ye Xu: "......"
The young man repeated Ruan Ling's words in a flat tone, and he really made him say it almost word for word.
Ruan Ling was completely speechless.
Although Ye Xu can't take pictures, he has a good brain!
"Okay." Ruan Ling handed him the phone, "Then you can shoot it." β
As he spoke, Ruan Ling walked to the fountain and began to concave it.
After posing a few times, Ruan Ling walked over to look at her phone.
Even if Ye Xu was right just now, she was still a little uneasy, worried that she would be foolish after posing for a long time.
So she plans to check it out halfway.
Ye Xu saw Ruan Ling coming over, and obediently handed the phone to her.
Ruan Ling opened the album and flipped through it back and forth, raising her eyebrows in surprise.
After her temporary director of photography just now, Ye Xu really looked like a decent.
"Not bad!" Ruan Ling sincerely threw an approving look at Ye Xu.
The corners of Ye Xu's lips rose slightly: "Then continue to shoot?" β
"Shoot!" Ruan Ling said.
β¦β¦
asked Ye Xu to take a photo of himself for a while, Ruan Ling estimated that the time was almost up, and the speech in the banquet hall should be almost over.
So Ruan Ling called Ye Xu, and the two walked in the direction of the banquet hall together, and went back to meet Ye Jingchi.
Before entering the banquet hall, I had already seen a sparse figure walking out.
It seems that the process in the banquet hall is really over.
I don't know if Ye Jingchi has also come out.
Ruan Ling thought for a while and said to Ye Xu, "Call your father and ask where he is." β
Ye Xu glanced at her silently, and the meaning in his eyes was obvious: Why didn't you fight?
Ruan Ling was confident: "This is my first time here, what should I do if I can't tell the location?" Unlike you, I've been here several times. β
In fact, she just didn't bother to fight.
Ye Xu: "......"
The boy obediently dialed the phone.
After a few short exchanges, Ye Xu hung up the phone and said to Ruan Ling: "He asked us to go to the statue at the door, wait for him for two minutes, and he will come over immediately." β
On the right side of the entrance to the banquet hall, there is a marble statue of Cupid, which is very conspicuous.
Ruan Ling and Ye Xu walked to the place Ye Jingchi said and waited.
As a result, I waited for a long time and didn't get to Ye Jingchi, but I saw another person first.
.
Xu Chenyan walked out of the banquet hall with a grimace, still frightened by what had happened before.
When he came today, the other guests hadn't arrived yet, so he went straight ahead
Went to the backstage to prepare.
Therefore, when he talked to Ruan Ling, he didn't know her current identity at all, let alone the young man next to Ruan Ling.
After separating from Ruan Ling, Xu Chenyan comforted himself that he had just suffered a little loss and regained his strength to perform on stage.
He first finished singing the first paragraph a little absentmindedly, and when the stereo began to play interlude, Xu Chenyan casually glanced at the audience.
Then he discovered, to his horrorβ
Ruan Ling actually sat with Ye Jingchi, and the seat was in the first row!
What's even more terrifying is that in addition to Ruan Ling, Xu Chenyan also recognized the young man sitting on the other side of Ruan Ling at a glance.
Isn't that the boy who was glared at by him and warned "don't be nosy"?
If it was just Ruan Ling and Ye Jingchi sitting together, Xu Chenyan could still comfort himself, maybe the two just happened to be talking together.
But the three of them sat together, Ruan Ling was still sitting in the middle, and the relationship suddenly became very obvious.
Ruan Ling is Ye Jingchi's wife, and that young man is Ye Jingchi's son!
If there was only Ruan Ling and himself at that time, then as long as Ruan Ling didn't say it, Ye Jingchi would not know about the conversation between the two.
But at that time, Ye Jingchi's son was also beside him, so how could he hide his affectionate name for Ruan Ling and the words he said!
At this moment, Xu Chenyan was completely panicked.
And at this moment, Ye Jingchi suddenly raised his head and looked at him, his expression was obscure.
Xu Chenyan's feet were weak and he almost fell on the stage.
I can't sing the song at all, and the tune has run to the sky.
In the next second, Ruan Ling sandwiched a piece of pork ribs into Ye Jingchi's bowl.
Xu Chenyan directly broke a note.
β¦β¦
When he finally got off the stage, Xu Chenyan's mind was full of Ye Jingchi's appearance after he knew that his wife had been "hooked up", and he came to settle accounts with him.
Xu Chenyan's whole person was in a daze, and he could only keep comforting himself:
A person of Ye Jingchi's status would not care about a small person like himself, let alone take time to deal with himself.
After convincing himself several times, Xu Chenyan eased up a little.
.
I don't know if I was tripped by someone, five minutes have passed since that phone call, and Ye Jingchi has not yet appeared.
Ruan Ling and the others were waiting for boredom, and when they raised their eyes and saw Xu Chenyan, they stopped him by the way: "Hey-"
Xu Chenyan subconsciously wanted to escape.
This place is right next to the entrance of the banquet hall, and all those who come out of the main entrance of the banquet hall will pass through here.
If he stays here for a while longer and collides with Ye Jingchi, he will be doubly unlucky.
But Xu Chenyan was afraid that he would offend Ruan Ling and end up just as badly.
After all, Ruan Ling is the one who can directly blow the "pillow wind" to Ye Jingchi.
After his brain was racing rapidly, Xu Chen Yansheng stopped his steps and said stiffly: "Ye, Mrs. Ye." β
Ruan Ling raised her eyebrows: "Huh? Didn't you call me Ling Ling just now, why did you become Mrs. Ye so quickly? β
Xu Chenyan: "......"
He could see that Ruan Ling didn't have any old feelings for him at all, she was completely making fun of him!
But Ruan Ling can afford to play, but he can't afford to play.
He has debuted for so many years, and finally seized the "opportunity" and mixed into his current front-line position.
Who is Ye Jingchi? You can even block him directly with a single sentence.
Ruan Ling is like this, she wants him to "die"!
Xu Chenyan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, desperate, and even glanced at Ye Xu-
Your stepmother talks to other men, don't you stop it?
However, Ye Xu just stood silently beside Ruan Ling, like a bodyguard with excellent professionalism.
Xu Chenyan was desperate.
Soon, however, something made him even more desperate.
He saw Ye Jingchi walk out of the banquet hall.
β¦β¦
Seeing the few people standing next to the statue, Ye Jingchi's eyebrows moved slightly.
Then Ye Jingchi walked to Ruan Ling's side with an interested expression: "Ling Ling, who is this gentleman opposite?" β
Not only Xu Chenyan froze, but Ye Xu was also stunned.
He didn't seem to have heard his father call Ruan Ling that.
Ye Xu glanced at Ye Jingchi thoughtfully.
And Xu Chenyan's face was already as pale as paper.!
