They were carrying suitcases in their hands. Although Ye Jiarou was wearing light makeup, she had already washed the makeup with sweat, and her hair was still stuck to her face, looking very pitiful.
Yan Manman hated being interrupted when speaking, but Ye Jiarou didn't have any vision yet. Ye Jiarou saw Yan Manman standing in the middle, thinking she was waiting for herself who was late.
Everyone in the hall put their eyes on Ye Jiarou, and Ye Jiarou lowered her head shyly. It seems that there are still many people worried about her.
If everyone knew that they were late because of Ye Chu's deliberate mischief, then everyone would stand on their side, and she would be able to expose Ye Chu's true face to everyone.
Ye Jiarou carefully pulled her hair behind her ears, trying to deliberately reveal her white neck. The other hand grabbed the corner of her clothes, which seemed to show her anxiety.
"Are you waiting for me? Because my sister doesn't want to take me for a ride... So I can only carpool with people. The car on the road has a problem, which makes everyone worried."
When Ye Jiarou was naming Ye Chu, she looked aggrievedly in Ye Chu's direction, accusing Ye Chu both inside and outside.
Because of the car breakdown, Ye Jiarou's friend Bai Min was also late together. She originally wanted to go back to the room to clean up, but Ye Jiarou suggested to come to the banquet hall first, saying that she was afraid that everyone would worry about them.
Bai Min originally wanted to refuse, but was pulled all the way by Ye Jiarou. If it is said that she still doesn't understand Ye Jiarou's thoughts, then she has lived for more than ten years in vain.
On the way to the manor, Ye Jiarou also suffered a lot. Obviously the car was almost at its destination, but it happened to stall.
Ye Jiarou and the others had to drag their luggage to walk a long mountain road. When they opened the door, the dinner hadn't even started.
Ye Jiarou took it for granted that everyone was waiting for them.
After Ye Jiarou finished speaking, everyone looked at Ye Chu's eyes a little hotter, always feeling that they would see a good show.
Ye Chu looked at Ye Jiarou's self-directed and acted with cold eyes, and did not wait long for Ye Jiarou to be proud, pretending to be surprised.
"Could it be that Jiarou thought that I deliberately didn't carry you. I can't bear the charge. You know that I am seriously allergic to peach blossoms and I sprayed so much peach blossom perfume..."
Before Ye Chu's words were finished, everyone started to look at Ye Jiarou again, but their eyes had changed.
Ye Chu's popularity has always been good, and they naturally believed Ye Chu's words.
This Ye Jiarou really has a scheming plan to frame her own sister in secret, which is really amazing.
When Ye Chu's voice just fell, Ye Jiarou was a little anxious. She couldn't wait to tell the people present all the bad things Ye Chu had done to her. She didn't want everyone to be deceived by Ye Chu.
Ye Jiarou was anxious: "Sister, I didn't..."
Because of anxiety, Ye Jiarou's fingers desperately twisted the corners of her clothes, and it seemed that she had suffered a lot of grievances.
Ye Chuge should panic, but still pretended to be clear: "Don't mind Jiarou, I know Jiarou didn't mean it, because I'm allergic to peach blossoms, and I'm so sorry for making you late."
Ye Chu played a perfect good sister, who was clearly Ye Jiarou's, but she actually apologized to Ye Jiarou.
There are many jealous Ye Chu people in the audience, and at this time they have to compliment Ye Chu.
Not only did Ye Chu look good-looking, he also dressed elegantly and didn't take the limelight from his master, so he was very generous in his words and deeds.
At this time, everyone looked at the embarrassed Ye Jiarou again, tusk, it was really a bit of a scumbag.
Ye Chu continued to smile: "It seems that Jiarou is not easy along the way. Go back to the room and freshen up. The dinner is about to begin. It's not good to make everyone hungry."
Then Ye Chu waved to Ye Jiarou. Ye Jiarou's complexion sank, and she instantly felt that she had become a pet that was swept away by Ye Chu and was gone.
Yan Manman's face was as black as pot stickers, she couldn't wait to choke Ye Jiarou who was standing in front of her to death. She hasn't finished complimenting her manor, and now she has been interrupted, how can she continue
Now everyone's attention is attracted by the two sisters of the Ye family. It is obviously her banquet, and she should be the one who should be the limelight!
Yan Manman walked up to Ye Jiarou and looked at her proudly with his nostrils.
"Ye Jiarou, I know you have never been able to get on the table, but today is my birthday party, so you can clean up yourself a little bit."
There were a lot of people here, and Yan Manman was not a stupid person, her voice could only be heard by Ye Jia and Ye Jiarou's friends.
Bai Min, who came with Ye Jiarou, didn't want to stay any longer. She could see the embarrassing atmosphere at the scene at a glance, and she blamed Ye Jiarou.
It was obvious that Ye Jiarou wanted to take the opportunity to disgust Ye Chu, and also deliberately pulled herself up. If she was still in the same car with Ye Jiarou when she went back, her mind would have been flooded.
Bai Minli ignored Ye Jiarou, talked to Yan Manman, and returned to the room prepared for her.
Ye Jiarou didn't expect Bai Min to leave without waiting for her. She gently stomped her feet where she was, and said goodbye to everyone in a gentle voice.
"Bai Min doesn't know what's going on, I'm a little worried. I'm going to see her first. I'm sorry to interrupt everyone's dinner. I'm not here to accompany you."
Ye Jiarou blushed and said sorry, and chased Bai Min out. Fortunately, Bai Min left early, otherwise he might have to turn his face on the spot if he heard Ye Jiarou's words.
After the farce passed, the dinner finally began. Ignoring Yan Manman's gloomy face, the dinner went smoothly.
Fu Tiantian, who was sitting on the right side of Ye Chu, touched Ye Chu's arm: "Is this the good show you showed me? Not bad, not bad, I feel comfortable seeing Ye Jiarou's embarrassment."
Ye Chu smiled and didn't say anything. The good show was still to come. This was barely an appetizer.
Tomorrow’s birthday party is the most important thing.
Ye Chu sat in his seat and did not speak.
Those who are eating together are all girls, of course gossip is inevitable.
"Do you know what the latest gossip is?" a senior official's daughter broke the silence.
She waited until everyone's appetite was suffocated before she said: "Everyone has heard of Song Qianru, the daughter of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, she has become popular again recently."
This person happened to be wrong with Song Qian, so naturally he wanted to talk about her.
"I heard about this too." Another girl next to her also agreed.
"Who is not good for her, she has to pursue the marshal Lu Huai, who doesn't know that Lu Sanshao is the hottest single man."
"It's shameful now, as Lu Sanshao clearly refused. She still makes chance encounters everywhere. Don't think that people don't understand her thoughts."
"There is not a little reserved girl, but Song Qianru has always been like this, she loves to play tricks when she sees things she likes."
"..."
These words all reached Ye Chu's ears. She casually ate the dishes. These gossips were like wind, with the left ear coming in and the right ear coming out.
These days, Master Lu always lived in the mouth of others, and Ye Chu had never seen him again.
At least she won't run into him again.
—
A small building on the south side of the manor was secluded and quiet, and there lived guests who were severely shocked by the police chief. The guards are tight, and outsiders are not allowed to enter.
With hot tea brewing on the table, Yan Zhen sat down with a man in military uniform, and the two chatted happily.
Everyone knows that the Chief of Police Yan Zhen has a violent temper. This kind of temperament can't be based on literature, but can still be based on martial arts. His subordinates are all controlled to be submissive, no one dares not to be obedient.
Yan Zhen always had a straight face, with a rare smile this time: "Marshal, how is Governor Lu doing well these days?"
The man known as the young marshal sat quietly, with a tall stature and a straight back.
The smile on the corner of Lu Huai's mouth was very polite, and his tone was not indifferent: "Father is working in Nanjing, and I specially asked me to give him a gift."
"Why the Overseer needs to be so polite..." Yan Zhen spurned verbally, but accepted it cheerfully, "I just did a small thing."
Lu Huai nodded slightly: "Thank you for your uncle's help."
"If the marshal is fine, stay here for a few days." Yan Zhen boasted, "I don't want to talk about anything else in this house. It's quiet. It's different from the noise in Shanghai."
Lu Huai knew that Yan Zhen's mind was to get closer to him. But he didn't always get close to others, so naturally he wanted to refuse.
Yan Zhen seemed to see Lu Huai's thoughts and immediately expressed sincerity before he spoke.
"I have ordered to go down, no one can approach this building." Yan Zhen continued, "Marshal rest assured, I will let Adjutant Zhou take it for you."
Yan Zhen's words have been said to this point, if Lu Huai refuses again, it will not give him face.
Lu Huai rubbed his teacup with his fingers and smiled extremely weakly: "Thank you, uncle."
"Tomorrow is the little girl's birthday, she will hold a banquet in the main building." Yan Zhen assured him, patted his chest, "but the marshal, don't worry, no one will bother you."
After Yan Zhen left, Lu Huai was sitting at his desk reading a book while drinking tea. It was already dark, and the light scattered into the room outlined his stern figure.
After a long time, Lu Huai stretched out his hand and turned off the light, lying on the bed, but did not fall asleep. The night was clearly heavy, but he was very awake.
It's weird, I can't fall asleep.
Somehow, Lu Huai thought of the woman on White Road that night.
But he had only heard her voice, there was no clue, and he couldn't find out anything.
I still remember her thin arms exposed outside, although there is no light, they are as white as snow.
Lu Huai suddenly felt irritable and frowned.
Autumn arrived, and the temperature gradually dropped, and Lu Huai slowly recovered his calm.
He closed his eyes.
