In a blink of an eye, his eyes swept over Haitong who came along.
Haitong noticed that she was looking at her, and immediately twisted her hands, her eyelashes trembling nervously, and called out first: "Auntie Ye."
"Yeah." Ye Lan's expression faded. After responding, he saw the anxious girl and thought of her grandfather who passed away early.
In the end, he said nothing: "Go in."
There are only a few people without tact who can get by in this circle. When Grandma Li De and Father Li saw Ye Lan's attitude quickly turned cold, their hearts skipped a beat and they realized that they might have been deceived.
According to the Hai family, Ye Lan had deep feelings for Hai Tong and was just angry at her for not living up to her expectations. Ye Lan shouldn't have this attitude.
Ye Lan's cold attitude actually proves that what Li De said is true.
The Ye family was very unhappy with Haitong for causing trouble for Qiao Nian at the Grand Theater...
They have brought people here.
Even though Grandma Li De felt a little regretful at this moment, she had no choice but to let her son hand over the gift.
"This is a little gift from our family. They are all little things that girls like. I wonder if Miss Qiao will like them."
People in this circle are not short of money.
Ye Maoshan is well-known for not accepting gifts.
They would not give gifts that are so expensive that they are inconsiderate.
Therefore, the "little thought" that Grandma Li De mentioned was indeed not some expensive jewelry or bank card.
Instead, they are some small jewelry that girls would like that they found everywhere, and the price is around 80,000 to 100,000 yuan.
Not too bad.
It’s not expensive either.
It's the kind that is delivered to the other party just within the range that they can accept.
Ye Lan was also from the same circle, and seeing that the old lady hinted that it was not a valuable gift, he did not hesitate and asked the secretary who had returned to accept it.
Her eyebrows were soft and her eyes were warm: "I thank you on behalf of Nian Nian." Grandma Li De waved her hands hurriedly: "You are too polite. It's Miss Qiao's birthday. This is the proper courtesy."
"I'll have someone take you in." Ye Lan's attitude towards her was pretty good.
The secretary put down his things and prepared to lead the group in.
Haitong felt very upset when she saw that Ye Lan ignored her except for the cold response at the beginning.
Grandma Li De and the others have already gone in.
She walked up to Ye Lan hesitantly and said, "Aunt Ye, this is my...gift."
Ye Lan lowered her eyes and saw the brocade box handed to her. She did not reach out to take it. Instead, she raised her eyes and examined her sharply.
"Today is Nian Nian's birthday. If you continue to be the same as before, not only me but also your Grandpa Ye will never forgive you."
Haitong heard her cold warning, and felt as if her heart was being stabbed by a knife. Her fingers holding the gift turned pale. "I didn't target her specifically."
Ye Lan looked past her and saw another guest coming. She didn't have the patience to listen to her, so she said to her, "I won't accept your gift. If you want to give one, it depends on whether the person in question accepts it or not."
Haitong felt as if she had been slapped in the face. Her face turned pale and blue. She didn't dare to talk back, so she could only take back the gift box silently.
"I, I'll go in first."
"..." Ye Lan was extremely disappointed with her because of what happened last time. She just nodded without saying a word, motioning her to go in.
Haitong couldn't stand her neglect and fled into the venue.
Just then a new guest arrived.
Ye Lan didn't have time to care about Hai Tong, so she calmed herself down and continued to greet the newcomers.
"Mr. Wang."
…
Haitong entered the inner room and realized how grand Qiao Nian's birthday party was today. (End of this chapter)
