On the day of the heavy snowfall, the first snow of winter fell in the imperial capital.
When Song Xuanhe was woken up by the alarm clock in the morning, he raised his eyes and was stimulated by the white light reflected outside the window so that he closed his eyes, and then fell asleep with a peaceful mind.
Waking up again was because of Xiao Yuanmu's words: "Since you are sleepy, then don't go to the birthday banquet at noon."
According to Song Xuanhe's sleep quality, it is generally difficult to wake him up with a sound that is lower than the disturbing tone and not a specific alarm clock, but Xiao Yuanmu's clear and indifferent words made him open his eyes suddenly, even before waking up. I skipped the emptying stage, and sat up in an instant, my face flushed from sleep was still a little dazed, but my tone was firm: "We must go."
Xiao Yuanmu didn't say anything yet, Er Gou, who was so anxious in his mind but didn't dare to wake up Song Xuanhe because of the profound lesson before, sighed excitedly: [I didn't expect, brother, you are so interested in sending the boss home So caring! I am very touched!]
The system's voice has always been loud, but now there is no barrier in the mind. Even if it doesn't pass through the ears, Song Xuanhe still feels that his ears hurt, and immediately jumps from a somewhat dazed state to sobriety.
It's been a long time since I've heard this rough and rough tone, although Song Xuanhe doesn't miss it at all.
Seeing that Song Xuanhe's eyes were still a little dazed just now, Xiao Yuanmu didn't expect to regain his sobriety in the blink of an eye.
Song Xuanhe didn't pay attention to Xiao Yuanmu's expression, because it was already ten o'clock, and the birthday banquet started at twelve o'clock, but out of politeness, almost everyone would be there around eleven o'clock, rushing from the apartment to hold the birthday banquet If there is no traffic jam in the hotel, it will take 30 minutes. Traffic jams can only extend the time indefinitely, so he must wash up and change clothes immediately and set off.
When Song Xuanhe took a shower and came out of the bathroom, Xiao Yuanmu was nowhere to be seen. He hurriedly changed into the formal clothes he had prepared, took a coat casually, and went downstairs.
Xiao Yuanmu was leaning against the window to make a phone call. His eyebrows were downcast and his expression was indifferent. He was wearing a well-tailored dark gray suit, which magnified his advantages of wide shoulders and long legs. A strong aura, but the camel coat in his hand overwhelmed his aura, mature and abstinent.
Song Xuanhe raised his eyebrows. As expected, he changed the clothes according to Xiao Yuanmu's size after picking them out. The clothes look good no matter how they are worn. The key is that he has not lost his tailoring skills for so long. If his teacher sees, It should be very gratifying.
Noticing Song Xuanhe's approach, Xiao Yuanmu hung up the phone after talking to the person on the other end of the phone, glanced at the coat of the same style in his hand, and put the coat on his body.
Song Xuanhe put on his shoes and said, "I noticed that you have called a lot lately, are they all Yang Jie?"
"En." Xiao Yuanmu walked to his side and responded lightly.
"Yang Jie still speaks English to you?" Song Xuanhe asked.
Xiao Yuanmu's expression remained unchanged: "He will go to the United States for a while to develop, let me help him practice his spoken English."
Song Xuanhe was in a hurry to leave. When he saw him, he hurriedly pressed the elevator. After entering, he glanced at Xiao Yuanmu, who was half a head taller than him, and said, "To be honest, do you want to resign?"
Xiao Yuanmu looked down at him: "Why do you say that?"
"Just asking casually." When the elevator reached the parking lot, Song Xuanhe ended the topic perfunctorily.
There was not much traffic jam along the way, and the two arrived at the birthday banquet on time.
Weichen, who was standing at the door receiving the reception, raised his eyebrows when he saw the two men's coats of the same style, and smiled at the corner of his mouth: "I didn't see you express your opinion when I sent you the invitation before, I didn't expect you to really come. "
Song Xuanhe said with a smile: "Young Master Wei wants me to come so urgently, how can I not come, not to mention that the birthday banquet of Mr. Wei is a place that many people can't get in, even if I don't give it to you Face, you have to give Mr. Wei face, right?"
Some time ago, the scene where Song Xuan and Zai Song blocked Song Guochao speechless with his sharp teeth was still in front of him. He didn't expect that the target would become him so soon. Wei Chen raised his eyes slightly. And the suppressed anger was revealed from the mature and deceptive appearance, and said: "Your Song family has given you a lot of face, Mr. Song and Mrs. Song came in just one step ahead of you."
Song Xuanhe was still smiling: "Nothing, we'll go in first."
Wei Chen nodded, and when Song Xuanhe lifted his foot, he seemed to suddenly think of something, and said, "By the way, there was a Miss Song asking me if you would come, and I told her you should be there soon, she guessed Waiting in the small hall, don't miss him."
Song Xuan and her footsteps didn't pause for a moment, and went in directly.
Xiao Yuanmu hadn't spoken since entering the hotel, and when he passed Wei Chen, he nodded slightly. Wei Chen's smile remained unchanged, and he nodded politely in response. The two eyes met and then moved away at the same time, as if they were in normal However, there was no emotion in the eyes of the stranger.
From the porch to the banquet hall, you need to pass through a small banquet hall. Song Xuanhe and Xiao Yuanmu walked side by side without looking sideways. They didn't seem to see the people sitting in the small hall, but the people inside saw them. It should be said that I saw Song Xuanhe.
Song Jiani got up quickly, her high heels rattled, and she called out, "Xuan and brother."
Xiao Yuanmu looked down at him, Song Xuanhe paused, raised his eyes subconsciously to meet Xiao Yuanmu's gaze, and then moved away with a guilty conscience.
"Brother Xuanhe." Song Jiani walked up to Song Xuanhe, and said delicately, "I've been waiting for you for a long time, when my uncle and aunt came in, they said you shouldn't come, luckily I asked Young Master Wei. "
"You have something to do with me?" Although Song Xuanhe's tone was cold, he was not impatient.
Song Jiani's eyes lit up, and the smile on her face grew wider: "Yes, I've been here for a long time..."
As she said that, she glanced at Song Xuan and Xiao Yuanmu beside her. Disgust flashed in her eyes, and she changed her words: "It was Lu Chao who was looking for you, and he couldn't find you, so he asked me to tell you. Just one word, I hope you can meet him."
"Lu Chao?" Song Xuanhe frowned: "What did he ask me for?"
It is still half a year before the plot of Song Xuan and being tricked into taking drugs in the book, and Lu Chao hadn’t appeared in front of him as early as after that pool party, when he humiliated Lu Chao in front of everyone. Throwing him in the swimming pool, anyone who is well-informed knows that he and Lu Chao had a falling out. Because Lu Chao had a good relationship with him before, those who wanted to get him through Lu Chao and then get into the Song family naturally acted on the wind.
From the pool party to the fact that the Lu family's property has shrunk by two-thirds, and now it can barely survive bankruptcy, but within three months, the Lu family has completely collapsed.
All of this is just because Lu Chao has changed from Young Master Song's friend to Young Master Song's discarded lackey.
"The Lu family..." Song Jiani naturally knew the reason for the defeat of Lu Chao's family. In fact, it was because of her, but although her family was good, she didn't have the ability to help Lu Chao. Moreover, she I don't want Song Xuanhe to hate her even more because of this.
Song Jiani couldn't continue, she bit her lower lip, then lowered her eyes.
"What about the Lu family?" Song Xuanhe asked calmly, as if he didn't know about it.
"Something happened to the Lu family." Song Jiani pinched the corner of her skirt and said, "So Lu Chao wants to ask you out."
"What happened to the Lu family, what does it have to do with me?" Song Xuanhe raised his eyebrows with a puzzled look on his face.
Song Jiani bit her lips again and again, she didn't know what to say, in fact she would come to speak for Lu Chao at this time, she just wanted to find an excuse to talk to Song Xuanhe.
"If there's nothing else to do, I'll leave first." Song Xuan and Song Jiani looked at Song Jiani who looked a little helpless, nodded slightly to her, and pushed open the door of the banquet hall.
It was already 11:20 at this time, the banquet hall was very large and had clear divisions. There were about 200 square meters from the entrance, and it was very empty. Only the simple and generous tables and chairs and simple drinks were placed against the wall. Drinks are for people to rest and communicate, and then you will pass through a small arch, which is the place for the noon birthday banquet.
At this time, the people who came to the banquet were naturally outside. In the center of the hall, there were mostly men and women in suits and leather shoes. They were drinking wine and chatting softly. There were tables and chairs by the wall, and there were also middle-aged men in Chinese tunic suits. People or old people, most of them are dignified and only talk to people around them, but many people in the center of the hall will involuntarily look at those people, wanting to go up and talk.
Song Xuanhe looked around and saw the general situation clearly, but the sight has not stopped searching. The Xiao family will definitely send someone to attend Mr. Wei's banquet, but the identity and status of the person is not clear, let alone that person. Can you recognize Xiao Yuanmu
In the book, Xiao Yuanmu's biological parents recognized him at the first sight. Since they can recognize him at a glance, it proves that Xiao Yuanmu looks a lot like the Xiao family, at least someone from the Xiao family. Thinking about it this way, it is very likely that people from the Xiao family will recognize Xiao Yuanmu.
Seeing that Song Xuanhe had been looking for something since he entered the banquet hall, and remembering his expression of anticipation that he couldn't hide every time he mentioned Wei's family banquet before, Xiao Yuanmu's eyes flickered slightly, and he observed Song Xuanhe calmly. look.
However, Song Xuanhe's expression didn't change after a few rounds, because he didn't know who was from the Xiao family at all, and even the system couldn't recognize him.
When Song Xuanhe scolded it for being useless, the system was still very confident: [The Xiao family is not a character in the plot, how could I have his information.]
Without even a specific target, Song Xuanhe had no choice but to give up searching. As soon as Xiao Yuanmu came in, his eyes fell on him, and he stood out from the crowd. If the Xiao family was there, it would be very easy Quickly notice Xiao Yuanmu.
If so, he didn't have to look for it.
Seeing Song Xuanhe look away, Xiao Yuanmu asked calmly, "What are you looking for?"
"Song Guochao." Song Xuanhe lied without blinking an eye: "I'm afraid of meeting him on a narrow road, why don't you squat down a bit first, and if he sees me bringing you here, he will probably point your nose and scold you."
Calmly giving Song Guochao eye drops in front of the future boss, Song Xuanhe did it with a clear conscience.
Hearing this, Xiao Yuanmu put away his suspicions, because Song Guochao and his wife were indeed not in the banquet hall, and it would be normal for Song Xuanhe to look for them for a long time.
"When Song Guochao comes later, he will definitely ask me to celebrate his birthday with him, so you just go around him." Song Xuanhe continued to apply eye drops: "Otherwise he will be caught, although he will not say anything about you on the spot because of his good face. But in the future, I will definitely use my position to trouble you."
Xiao Yuanmu didn't care, and said lightly: "He has no contact with my department, so he can't find my trouble."
"Why can't I find it?" Song Xuanhe looked at him with a frown, as if he was looking at a lamb that had just escaped from the pyramid: "He is Song Guochao, and the chairman of the Song Corporation is his father. Do you think he can trouble you? As long as He doesn't like you, and he wants to trick you more than tricks."
Xiao Yuanmu didn't say a word, Song Xuanhe continued: "You and I have to bear the suppression of the Song family, not to mention staying in the Song family's company, Song Guochao thought I was just playing with you before. I don’t know what to do yet, but after seeing me take you to such an important banquet, the alarm will definitely sound in my heart. He will think that you and I are seriously in love, and even think that I may marry you in the future. At this time, he will definitely try to break us up, but he has nothing to do with me, so he can only vent his anger on you?"
Xiao Yuanmu lowered his eyes, and his calm eyes gradually became dark and unpredictable. He asked, "Can you?"
Song Xuanhe was stunned by Xiao Yuanmu's eyes, and couldn't react: "What could it be?"
Xiao Yuanmu looked away, slightly raised the corners of his mouth, and said, "It turns out that when you pursued me, you wanted to associate with me on the premise of getting married."
Song Xuanhe came to his senses, remembering the nonsense he said just now in order to let Xiao Yuanmu quit and resign quickly, he licked the corner of his mouth, just about to explain, he saw Xiao Yuanmu looked at him again, at this time his A pair of eyes faded from the darkness and became clear and calm, but there seemed to be something else hidden under the eyes.
However, without waiting for Song Xuanhe to think about it, he continued: "So you lied to me about your premature ejaculation?"
I don't know why the topic suddenly changed here, Song Xuanhe was about to speak, when Xiao Yuanmu said calmly: "I just don't want to have premarital sex."
It turns out that it can be explained in this way!
Hearing Xiao Yuanmu's words, Song Xuanhe almost suddenly realized and was overjoyed.
Isn't not having premarital sex the best answer to avoid future troubles? Why didn't he think of this before
Song Xuanhe realized the benefits of admitting almost immediately. His acting skills erupted in an instant, his brows frowned slightly, then he turned his face away, lowered his eyes and pursed his lips slightly. The unwilling and guilty appearance of people who have found the truth.
After a few seconds, he said awkwardly: "Although few people pay attention to these things in this era, our family is more traditional."
Xiao Yuanmu's eyes fell on his slightly trembling eyelashes. Judging from his performance alone, it seemed that he was right, but Song Xuanhe lowered his eyes, he couldn't see his eyes, so it was hard to be sure. His words are true or false.
"You don't think I'm a very rigid person, do you?" Song Xuanhe couldn't hear Xiao Yuanmu's answer, and his tone hardened after becoming angry: "If you can't accept us..."
Song Xuanhe hadn't finished talking when someone lifted his jaw. When he met Xiao Yuanmu's gaze, he subconsciously wanted to move away with some guilt, but he held back and just looked at him so confidently, even He frowned and said, "Let go of me, it's fine if you don't accept it."
Xiao Yuanmu put down his hands as he said, because after seeing Song Xuanhe's eyes, he belatedly remembered how strong the hiding skill of the person in front of him was.
Since he couldn't tell the truth, it didn't matter what he said. Anyway, he wasn't too curious about the answer.
Because of their eye-catching looks, the interaction between the two has long attracted the attention of many people. When Xiao Yuanmu lifted Song Xuanhe's chin just now, a little girl in a small dress covered her face and said, "Good match!" Ah, super sweet!"
The other girl next to her was a little regretful: "It's a pity they didn't kiss."
Song Guochao, who passed by them, had a dark face, but when he greeted the other guests passing by, he smiled. He almost had a schizophrenia along the way.
So when he walked in front of Song Xuanhe, he didn't hide his dislike for Xiao Yuanmu at all, he didn't give him a wink, but glared at Song Xuanhe, and then looked at Li Nian'an, unwilling to even talk to Song Xuanhe. Xuanhe said something.
Li Nian'an didn't take it seriously, she smiled at Xiao Yuanmu first, and then said softly to Song Xuan: "Why don't you tell mom if you want to come here, if you do, mom will prepare your formal clothes, It just so happens that we are going to say hello to Mr. Wei, come with us."
It is a rule for the whole family to go to the host of the birthday banquet in order to congratulate the host of the birthday banquet. Since Song Xuanhe came, naturally he would not refuse, let alone Li Nian'an mentioned this.
In front of Song Guochao, Song Xuanhe took Xiao Yuanmu's hand and said, "I'll come right away, you wait here for me."
Hearing Song Xuanhe's gentle voice that he had never heard before, Xiao Yuanmu's eyes flashed strangely, and he nodded slightly as an agreement.
Attending the birthday banquet with Song Guochao was originally just to maintain the harmony between the Song family and the Li family in front of outsiders. Now that Song Xuanhe is here, Li Nian'an naturally let go of Song Guochao, holding Song Xuanhe and said: "Hebao, this You haven't come back for a few days, and mom looked at you and lost weight."
Song Xuanhe, who had never been so cared by his elders, didn't know that all mothers saw their sons as "a son will lose three catties in three days", so he touched his face in surprise, and said very sincerely: "Impossible Well, I weighed it a few days ago and gained two catties."
Li Nian'an looked at his face carefully, and sighed: "I really lost weight, maybe I'm hungry because I didn't eat the food at home."
Song Xuanhe: "Xiao Yuanmu's cooking is delicious, I eat a lot every day."
"That may be because the nutrition he gave you is not balanced." Li Nian'an insisted: "Come back in a few days, and my mother will give you a supplement."
Song Xuanhe would be really stupid if he couldn't hear what Li Nian'an was saying at this time, but after he understood it, he didn't know how to answer.
"What?" Li Nian'an didn't hear Song Xuanhe's words, so he gave him an angry look and said, "Just go home and have a meal, how can I disturb your relationship?"
"Of course not." Song Xuanhe curled his lower lip and said, "I'll go back to have dinner with you when I have time in a few days."
Song Guochao remained silent until he went up to the second floor and reached the door of Mr. Wei's lounge.
However, as soon as the door of the lounge was opened, a smile instantly appeared on his face, and he said, "Old man, I wish you good luck like Donghai Shoubi Nanshan."
The lounge is very large, and there are several old people sitting in it, and Mr. Wei is also in it. Hearing Song Guochao's blessing, he nodded with a light smile and said, "You have a heart."
Song Guochao continued to say blessings with a smile. Mr. Wei has long been used to everyone who celebrates his birthday trying to sit on this road for a while, so the faint smile on his face has not changed, and he looks very kind.
Song Xuanhe just stood on the side with Li Nian'an on his arm, listening to Song Guochao's various blessings without repeating a single word, he sincerely lamented that Song Guochao is indeed not a businessman, with such a talent for witty words, a cross talk actor is more suitable for him.
Before Song Guochao finished speaking, someone knocked on the door again, Mr. Wei said lightly, and Song Guochao tactfully stopped talking.
The person who came in didn't say anything, just walked in, crossed Song Guochao, paused, and said: "I just said I didn't see you down there just now, so you are here."
Hearing Wei Chen's rare familiar words, Mr. Wei, who had been smiling slightly, raised his eyes in surprise, and saw Song Xuanhe and Li Nian'an standing behind.
Facing the curious gazes of the people in the room and Song Guochao's expression of astonishment as if he had eaten shit, Song Xuanhe smiled slightly and said, "I'll come up to celebrate my birthday."
As he said that, he looked at Mr. Wei politely, bowed slightly and said, "Mr. Wei, my mother and I wish you a prosperous sun and moon, and evergreen pine and cranes."
Few people know that Mr. Wei's favorite plant is the pine tree, and his favorite animal is the crane. Song Xuanhe's blessing is just right for him. Coupled with Song Xuanhe's generous and steady posture, Wei It was rare for the old man to show his love for the junior, and he said with a smile, "Since you and Wei Chen are friends, then call me Grandpa Wei, why should I be so unfamiliar."
Song Xuanhe was kind and generous: "Grandpa Wei."
Most of the people sitting inside knew what the old man liked. Although they were a little surprised that he looked at a young man differently, they were only slightly surprised for a moment. After all, they also knew that Wei Chen was cold-tempered and had few friends. For the few friends he said he had a good relationship with, it was normal for Mr. Wei to be gentle with him.
But Song Guochao's eyes widened in astonishment. In his age group, there are only a handful of people in the imperial capital who can call Mr. Wei Wei Bo. Similarly, at Song Xuanhe's age group, people who can directly call Mr. Wei Grandpa Wei The number of people can be counted with two slaps.
Unexpectedly, after meeting like this, Song Xuanhe fell into the eyes of Mr. Wei, and seemed to have a good relationship with Weichen, the only grandson of the Wei family.
Song Guochao himself can't explain how he feels in his heart now. Song Xuanhe is his son, no matter what the relationship is, as long as outsiders know that Song Xuanhe has the favor of Wei Lao, his status will naturally rise. However, Song Xuanhe With such a backing, coupled with the old man's eccentricity, it is really hard to tell whether the Song family will be handed over to Song Xuanlin or Song Xuanhe in the future.
Song Guochao secretly heaved a sigh of relief when he thought that he accidentally learned that Song Xuanlin and Wei Chen had some kind of friendship. Maybe Wei Chen would look at Song Xuanhe differently. It was because he had a good relationship with Song Xuanlin that he gave Song Xuanhe some face. .
The author has something to say: True or false judgment questions:
Song Xuanlin: I am not a bad person.
Song Guochao: I don't take dogs lightly.
Song Yansong: I have determined the successor.
Song Jiani: Even if I die, I will not give up Xuan and brother.
Xiao Yuanmu: I won't like anyone.
Wei Chen: I think Song Xuanhe is a bit interesting.
