Ye Lan said calmly, "Okay, I don't blame you just now."
Ye Lan said meaningfully: "She has been out there for a long time. Not to mention you, your Grandpa Ye and I never thought that she would say such words."
"So you didn't give the little girl much face just now, but the old man and I don't blame you."
Ye Lan praised him again: "Well said!"
Jiang Li felt embarrassed and blushed. He raised his hand and touched his earlobe, thinking about how to respond.
Ye Lan said thoughtfully, "Do you think the friend she brought with her is a bit like Nian Nian?"
Jiang Li was stunned and looked forward.
Zhang Yang was a smart guy. Without Ye Lan saying much, he took the initiative to go and talk to the friends that Hai Tong brought with her, and did not let Elena go alone and be ignored.
From Jiang Li's perspective, he could only see the backs of the two people.
Elena is tall and has long legs.
It’s actually hard to tell anything just from the back.
But she is similar to Qiao Nian, and both have a casual aura around them.
Careless.
Very relaxed.
Jiang Li narrowed his eyes, but didn't look away, while answering Ye Lan's question: "I don't think they look alike."
"He is a man of many thoughts but he is polite. When he is with his elders, he listens attentively to what they say and he is sincere to his friends."
"You think she looks like Qiao Nian. I think you mean the feeling she gives you, not the facial features." Jiang Li asked her, "Aunt Ye, do you think she is that kind of person?"
"..." Ye Lan was silent for a moment. All of them saw that Hai Tong always protected Elena.
But Elena didn't say a word to help Haitong after Jiang Li corrected her. She was still elegant and nonchalant, staying away from the dinner.
Elena obviously didn't take her friend's protection to heart, didn't care, didn't respect it, and yet felt at ease enjoying this protection.
Qiao Nian is not such a person.
Qiao Nian is only indifferent on the surface, but she keeps in mind the kindness of everyone around her towards her. Even if it is just a small thing, she will remember it. She will always run in both directions with her friends and will not let anyone work alone. Everything will have an echo, and there will always be an echo.
Elena is really not Qiao Nian.
Ye Lan seemed to be thinking about something, and slowly withdrew his gaze. The good impression he had of Elena at first sight almost disappeared, leaving only alienation.
"you're right."
"She really doesn't look like Nian Nian."
Jiang Li is not a person who likes to talk about others behind their backs. If Ye Lan hadn't asked him the question, and it was about Qiao Nian, he would not have taken the initiative to talk about Elena.
Seeing that Ye Lan no longer mentioned Elena and Qiao Nianxiang, Jiang Li stopped talking about Elena.
…
The meal seemed lively and exciting, with both the host and the guests enjoying themselves.
Lian Jiang Li behaved politely afterwards, without any grudge against what happened before, and even had a brief chat with Hai Tong.
During the meal, Haitong was enthusiastically introducing her classmates to Ye Lan and Ye Maoshan, as if she wanted to help her classmates establish a good impression with Ye Lan and the others.
However, both Ye Lan and Old Man Ye behaved very perfunctorily. When Hai Tong brought it up, they just responded with a smile, neither being rude nor enthusiastic.
But since Haitong didn't mention Elena, they pretended not to notice her. During the meal, neither of them took the initiative to talk to Elena.
