With Mo Zhengyan's permission, Steward Zhao turned around to act. In the banquet hall, everyone began to give gifts again. Shao Yu sat in the chair and thanked him quietly.
Suddenly, the servant turned back and reported, "Miss Song is here."
The music is still playing softly, the beautiful and luxurious Mozhai. The guests gathered together for a banquet in Chinese costume, which looked like a castle holding a banquet. The little prince sat in that chair, accompanied by the father and queen.
Everyone is waiting to see what the scene will be.
"Come in, please." Mo Zhengyan ordered in a deep voice.
Shao Yu's eyes slowly lifted up in this voice, and he looked in the direction of the hall.
In an instant, Yao Xiaoru felt that the surroundings had calmed down, and there was no chattering and chattering, and only the sound of music remained in his ears. Everyone focused on that entrance, even herself.
Looking forward to it, that figure finally walked in slowly under the light outside.
No, that's not alone!
Together are two people walking side by side.
That man, in a suit that could not stand up to the slightest folds, the handmade materials, and the tailoring of his body made him compellingly heroic. It was a face with a scholarly character, and that breath was knowledgeable at first glance, but the facial features were much more handsome than those of scholars. On the bridge of his nose, those glasses pressed down that handsome look, turning it into a mature charm.
By the man's hand, a woman was gently held.
She wore an improved cheongsam dress, which was simple and bright plain white, but the white was not pure white, as if it was shined through by moonlight, and it was clean and flawless. The cheongsam is not fancy, but the satin is first-class, first-class satin, walking with the pace, this reveals the dark embroidery on the satin.
She wore a pink shawl on her body, achieving the most brilliant color, which complemented the pink on her lips, and the finishing touch was dazzling.
The steps were light and light, like moonlight falling on the surface of the lake. Although it was calm, it had already penetrated into the depths.
Everyone was shocked, and then took a closer look.
Her long hair fell down, although it was not too long, it was drawn like an ink painting, and it was pitch black like silk. Those eyes were thick and dark, fixedly looking ahead, and when they met the crowd, there was no half-shift. The calmness of the eyebrows under these eyes was actually a bit cold and arrogant that ignored the heroes.
She came forward with a graceful figure, her skirt fluctuating, her eyes were gentle and easy-going under the light, but with a faint coldness, and when she took a closer look, she felt frozen.
Most of the people present knew the existence of this Miss Song, because she was the heroine of the Hundred Days Banquet that year. And some people didn't know her. At this moment, they only thought that Li was amazing.
At this moment, Mo Zhengyan stood at the center of the end. He once again watched Song Qiyue walk towards him. Compared with that time when he appeared as a director of Longyuan after the reunion at the hotel, he was a lot softer today. Only for a moment, it reminded him of the past.
The bright and moving smile at the Hundred Days Banquet, now only the shocking coldness is left.
But she came after all, accompanied by another man.
"Who is that person?" someone asked softly.
Someone recognized it right now, "It's Nie Xun, the president of Longyuan!"
Nie Xun's identity, a person in contact with the business community, naturally has seen and knew of his existence. Recently, there has been such a big movement in Longyuan, and Mr. Nie's name has long been in the port city.
But now, Song Qiyue brought this President Nie to attend the birthday party of the young master of the Mo family, but it made people secretly speculate about the relationship between the two.
However, Yao Xiaoru knew about it, because this Mr. Nie, Shao Yu called him "uncle", and the two got along well.
In this short moment, Song Qiyue had already brought Nie Xun forward while holding his breath.
On the ivory chair, Shao Yu sat in it. Song Qiyue met him and hadn't seen his son for many days. At this moment, he was dressed in a white suit like a gentleman, and the white bow tie met the occasion. Everything is white and transparent, and Song Qiyue's eyes are also staring straight.
Shao Yu watched Song Qiyue come over, but the child didn't speak.
Song Qiyue stepped forward to the front, looked at Madam Mo, nodded gently and said hello, she finally said, "Shaoyu, happy birthday."
The words of blessing said, immediately after Nie Xun handed the gift in his hand, which was a beautiful red velvet box, to Song Qiyue.
Song Qiyue picked up the gift and sent it to Shao Yu, "Your gift."
Everyone is watching again, is the child picking up or not picking up, will they open it up after picking up
Shao Yu looked back at Song Qiyue, and the next second the child stretched out his hands and accepted the gift. But he didn't open it, and treated it like a gift from the guests beside him, but he changed hands and gave it to the housekeeper for placement.
Such a small action gave a message in the eyes of everyone that there seems to be not much closeness between the child and the mother.
In fact, it is, after all, after so many years of separation, where will there be so many feelings.
But the child's big eyes looked at her behavingly thanking her, but the name that should be called didn't mention half a word, "Thank you."
Immediately, Mo Zhengyan said, "Miss Song, Mr. Nie, thank you both."
"You're welcome." Song Qiyue responded, and Nie Xun was also on the side of his jaw.
"I feel honored to be able to come, and I am here to thank my son again. Please feel free to do today." Mo Zhengyan greeted as the host.
Seeing Song Qiyue and Nie Xun also walk aside, this experience is simply inferior to ordinary guests. Without a formal invitation letter, they just want to break in. It's just that the two of them are very casual and don't care at all.
After the two people here made their grand debut, a storm seemed to have passed, calming the vortex of curiosity, and the guests behind continued to give gifts one after another.
Song Qiyue looked at her son from a distance, she was smiling.
Nie Xun held her, his hand patted the back of her hand lightly, indicating that everything was fine with her.
At least, with the birthday card drawn by the child, she entered smoothly. This shows that the child has not completely resisted her rejection.
The lively gift-giving session passed by the sound of music, and then the banquet officially began. The hundred-day banquet was delivered by the master of the Mo family, Mo Shengquan. Now that Mo Shengquan has gone, the head of the Mo family has already become Mo Zhengyan, and his male voice sounded in a low voice, "Today is Shao Yu’s fourth birthday. According to the virtual age, he is now five years old. Thank you very much for coming today. Many of you here have seen this child before. Time flies so fast, four springs and autumns passed in the blink of an eye. "
"Today is actually not a particularly important day, but everyone can take the time to come, thank you from the bottom of my heart." Mo Zhengyan said, Shao Yu in the chair beside him, he landed and stood up.
Shao Yu said to everyone, "Thank you everyone."
"Papa--" Suddenly, there was thunderous applause, and everyone applauded. In fact, most of the speeches at these banquets have been heard a lot, but today it is unexpected.
Mo's young master, it is really extraordinary to welcome everyone so calmly!
As the saying goes, the tiger father has no dogs, that's probably what I mean.
Just after the speech ceremony, the cake was pushed out by Mr. Zhao. The children present were already amazed, "Wow! What a big cake, so beautiful!"
It's a nine-story cake, the big pomp that always appears in banquets. Children of ordinary people would not see such multiple layers, so naturally they screamed. The pure white cake, snowy cheese, and pure white milk are decorated with pure white flowers one after another. The framed is so beautiful that people can't help but admire it.
Mo Zhengyan said towards Shao Yu, "Come on, cut the cake."
Shao Yu nodded and said to the friends, "Let's go cut the cake together."
The children surrounded the past, surrounded by today's little prince, and came to the front of the cake. The nine-layer cake is already very high, but Manager Zhao moved the ladder, and Shao Yu stepped on it. Standing on the ladder, holding the knife in one hand, cut the top layer of cake.
Accompanied by this, the applause is constant again, mixed with the joy of children's children, this cut is only symbolic. After that, Shao Yu went down the ladder, and the housekeeper Zhao ordered the cake master to cut the cake piece by piece. The first piece of cake was placed on the plate and handed over to Shao Yu's hand.
Shao Yu took the first cake, and he sent it to Mrs. Mo.
"A sensible child." Someone sighed.
Mrs. Mo smiled and took the cake pan, her graceful and beautiful face couldn't help being happy.
The second piece of cake was put in Shao Yu's hands again. Everyone thought that it was going to be sent to their father, but who knew, Shao Yu looked for it in the crowd for a long time.
Who is the child looking for
Song Qiyue also looked at Shao Yu, only to see Shao Yu glance at herself, but walked in another direction.
Yao Xiaoru was stunned, because the child was walking towards him!
"Teacher Ru, here you are." Shao Yu handed the cake. Yao Xiaoru was overwhelmed by surprise and hurriedly took it. "Thank you Shao Yu."
"Mom, who is she?" Mo Shanshan couldn't help asking in the crowd, who walked back to Luo Zheng with a cake.
Luo Zheng rushed back to Hong Kong City on the weekend, and even brought Shanshan to the birthday party. She looked at the young woman who had taken the cake and replied, "She is Shao Yu's class instructor."
"I see, is that the teacher who Shao Yu said is good-looking?" Shanshan asked again, and Mo Sinian on the other side remembered that that day, Shao Yu did say so.
"It should be her." Luo Zheng smiled.
"Looks like a passerby." Mosnian interjected coldly. He was also looking at the teacher Ru, holding the cake, as if he had some treasure with joy, and couldn't hide his happiness. In terms of appearance, this teacher Ru is really a kind of shameless appearance. Beautiful women have been seen a lot since they were young, like Teacher Ru. Although they are delicate, they are basically inconspicuous types thrown into the crowd. They are really quite ordinary.
"Dad, what is a passerby?" Shanshan asked.
Luo Zheng frowned, and Mo Sinian replied, "It's just normal."
"Oh, I think my mother and aunt are more beautiful than Teacher Ru." Shanshan simply used her own aesthetics to identify it. Luo Zheng looked at Mosnian, what did he say to the child
Mosnian responded again, "Yes."
"Ah!" Shanshan whispered again, as if thinking of something, "Then she is the girl who held hands with Uncle Bai Yao!"
Speaking of Mo Baiyao, Mo Sinian and Luo Zheng looked over, but saw that Mo Baiyao and the teacher Ru were standing far apart, as if they didn't know each other at all.
Luo Zheng had a headache, and his daughter's ability to learn more was getting better and better than before, "Shanshan, this is not necessarily the case, this is Uncle Bai Yao's own business."
"Shanshan." Mosnian shouted.
"What?" Shanshan raised his head, Moss said, "I want to be called Second Uncle."
Since acknowledging Shanshan, this generation has been in a mess. Shanshan has recognized it for many years and shouted for many years, and it is common for Shanshan to change it for a while. No, it's time to correct the title again.
"Got it." Shanshan answered, she looked at the nine-layer cake, "The third cake, who is Shao Yu going to give it?"
Shao Yu picked up the third piece of cake and walked towards that place.
That was Song Qiyue's direction, and Shao Yu stepped forward. The child is going to give the mother cake
When Shao Yu came to the front, Song Qiyue was a little surprised, but found that the person Shao Yu was standing against was not herself, but Nie Xun.
"Uncle Nie Xun." Shao Yu picked up the cake and gave it to Nie Xun.
The name of the boy's voice is very weak, but everyone has heard it. This "uncle" is even more amazing. What kind of relationship is this? It's incredible. Could it be a guess, could it be said that this Nie is always Song Qiyue's elder brother? Only the elder brother will let the child call his uncle.
Nie Xun took it with a smile, and Shao Yu retracted his gaze and turned his head and walked back to the cake.
The first three cakes were given out by the little prince himself, and the next cakes don't need to be presented one by one. The children had been around for a long time, and Shao Yu distributed the cakes to his friends. The children got delicious cakes, and they were all very happy.
The nine-layer cake was immediately distributed by the steward Zhao, and the servants took small pieces one by one, and scattered them to the hands of the guests.
The cake in Nie Xun's hand hadn't moved yet, he asked, "Would you like to try it."
"The child gave it to you, not to me." Song Qiyue replied softly.
"Look at what you said, it sounds like jealous." Nie Xun teased, Song Qiyue laughed, "Isn't it, it's more pro-uncle than my mother."
"Compared to you, I am more happy that this last piece of cake was given to me, not to Mo Zhengyan." Nie Xun smiled, "Think about it this way, maybe the child likes me more than him. a little."
After sharing the cake, the banquet was still going on, the children gathered together to play, and the adults chatted separately. The afternoon was very pleasant, and the children in the back garden ran to the lawn again. Under the warm sun, the children ran and played.
Shao Yu introduced her sister to the friends, "She is my sister named Shanshan."
"Hello." Shanshan greeted the children with a smile.
There are many common words among the children, so naturally they are not unfamiliar. A few people gather together to play hide-and-seek. Shao Yu put on a handkerchief to catch people, and the children fled around.
"I'll catch you guys right away!" Suddenly, Shao Yu was shouting. As he explored the air with his hands, he reached the corner of the clothes. He suddenly opened his arms and hugged him, "Caught! "
The blindfolded handkerchief was immediately pulled off, and Shao Yu was about to raise his head, but when he saw the person holding him in front of him, the child was stunned.
"Shao Yu, you caught your mother!" The child yelled, and Shanshan was also yelling, "Auntie."
Shao Yu was already looking at Song Qiyue, the child was still clutching the corner of her clothes, but at the moment he was a little embarrassed.
Song Qiyue looked at the children, she also felt a little nervous, because she didn't know how to approach, let alone how to do it, so she also froze, just turned back and smiled at the children.
"Mom didn't mean it." Song Qiyue said to Shao Yu.
When Shao Yu looked at her, the child did not speak, which was the same as in school at the time.
"I just came here when I saw that you were playing happily, because..." Song Qiyue was a little anxious, paused, and took out something from her handbag, "Mom has something for you."
The palm of his hand was spread out in front of him, and his slender fingers were handed to him. Shao Yu looked down and saw that Song Qiyue's palm was a crayon.
Song Qiyue said, "You forgot to take it that day, and you accidentally left it in the school's reception room."
Of course Shao Yu knew the crayon. He reached out and took it. Song Qiyue didn't speak when seeing the children. She said, "Then you guys will play." Turning her head again, she said to the children, "You continue to play."
The hide-and-seek game with the handkerchief started again, and Shao Yu put the crayons in his pockets.
It was just this scene that Yao Xiaoru, who was with the children in the back garden, saw him. She stopped far away, only tasting the cake for herself in the back.
When the round was over, the children ran over to drink juice and rest.
Shao Yu was going to wash his hands. Yao Xiaoru accompanied him to the bathroom. After he had washed his hands and walked in the corridor, Yao Xiaoru asked, "Shao Yu, did mom say something to you just now?"
"Nothing, just gave me something."
"what?"
Shao Yu immediately took out the crayon from his pocket. Yao Xiaoru hadn't seen it clearly. Now, when she saw it, she remembered that Song Qiyue came to school specially that day. She whispered, "You didn't go to school in these two days. , But your mother and her are here too."
The child was shocked when she heard it, and Yao Xiaoru said again, "She said she came to the school to have a look, and when she came the first day, she came over and took away the crayon. Later, she came to ask the teacher if you were good. Shao Yu, didn't you answer your mother's call?"
The child held the crayon tightly and nodded.
"Why don't you answer my mother's phone, so she will be very sad." Yao Xiaoru told the child softly.
Shao Yu frowned, and the child was a little nervous and even more innocent.
"Mother came to your birthday party today. You see that she is so beautifully dressed. She must want to surprise you. Teacher Ru knows that you must have many questions in your heart. You asked your mother, but she didn't answer immediately. You, so you are angry, are you?" Yao Xiaoru asked, the child was silent, he did not nod or shook his head.
Yao Xiaoru said again, “It’s okay to be angry, but you have to give your mother some time and let her think about it. Mom will not know how to answer you, but you have to know that mother really loves you very much. She loves you most. The one you love is you."
In the long silence, Shao Yu said, "Really."
"If you don't believe me, if your mother comes to talk to you again, you can ask her again." Yao Xiaoru smiled, but Shao Yu twisted his head, "I won't ask."
Sure enough, he was still a child and very childish, so Yao Xiaoru took him to the back garden again.
The corridor walkway, the hollow windows, face another garden. Under the shadow of the mottled wall, there was a man standing against the wall.
"Mr. Yao." The beautiful woman seemed to have found him and said with a smile, "Why are you here alone..."
...
In the hall, Mo Zhengyan wandered among the guests. This birthday would last until the evening. Although the child was the protagonist, his father was still responsible for entertainment matters. Xiao Mobai and Su Nan also served as the host of the banquet today, and once again entertained everyone.
"My face is cramping with a smile." Su Nan was about to be exhausted, Xiao Mobai hurriedly brought her a glass of water, "Who made you a little aunt of Shao Yu, turn around you give me one and let your big brother Come to greet you, it won't be even."
"You want to be beautiful." Su Nan glanced at him, but looked for Mo Zhengyan's figure, and after another glance, he found that he was standing with the Mr. Nie.
"President Nie has appreciated his face." Mo Zhengyan toasted to him.
Nie Xun said, "It's not a face appreciation, but a must and should."
"It can be seen that Shao Yu likes your uncle very much." Mo Zhengyan replied.
"I thought my son would give the cake to his father." Nie Xun smiled.
Mo Zhengyan raised his cup and said, "Mr. Nie also said, it's my son. The cake can be eaten anytime, not bad for this day."
"This day is indeed not bad, but children can't deceive people." Nie Xun replied, his eyes were definitely bright, and the wine glass touched lightly in the air.
Mo Zhengyan's eyes condensed, "Then I have to thank you again. It is not easy for him to like you so much."
"Mr. Mo doesn't have to greet me, I will be casual." Nie Xun replied, and he left with his glass.
"Big brother." Su Nan saw Nie Xun go away, and she walked over. Just a closer look, Mo Zhengyan's expression was very gloomy, and there was no sound, "..."
Nie Xun walked casually in Mozhai. He walked through the corridor and saw Song Qiyue from a distance. She was sitting under the umbrella in the back garden, only quietly accompanying Shao Yu. He didn't go forward, looked around this place, and walked around again. The more I look at it, the more I find that this old house is really generous.
Such an old house reminds Nie Xun of the Nie family.
The Nie’s house back then was also such a building, although it was a bit smaller than the Mo’s house.
Over the past few years, Nie Xun has thought about stepping into this place and leveling it down. At this moment, Mo Shengquan has long since been alive, and Mo House still stands tall.
Thinking about walking all the way, the spiral staircase went up, and Nie Xun came to a tower where you could overlook the scenery.
Nie Xun stood on the tower and stopped for a while, but suddenly heard the sound of conversation. That is the next floor of the tower, but there is a platform, that is a balcony, with the voice of a man and a woman.
"Why are you here today?" The man's voice sounded.
Nie Xun listened carefully and recognized it. He raised the corner of his lips. It turned out that it was him.
On the balcony railing, Mo Boyao stood leaning against him, Yao Xiaoru slowly walked over here, and sat down in a chair beside him, "It was Shao Yu who invited me, so I came."
"Why don't you tell me?" Mo Baiyao asked, but stared at her legs.
Yao Xiaoru said, "You don't have to tell you about Shao Yu's birthday party. I didn't expect it to be so grand and elegant." He didn't expect that he would also be there.
"You don't know how to wear high heels, what are you still wearing?" Mo Baiyao finally couldn't stand her squeezing legs and asked aloud.
Yao Xiaoru was depressed, "It's my student's birthday party!"
"What's the matter then? It's just a birthday party, and it's not asking you to go to the beauty pageant. Even if you go, you won't be selected."
This is really horrible, but Yao Xiaoru also admitted, "Yes, there is no finalist award." A little angry, she asked, "Aren't you having a bad relationship with your elder brother."
"Join in the fun." Mo Baiyao's explanation was indifferent. He looked down, "It's you. You seem to be walking very close to my ex-sister-in-law."
Where is it near? Yao Xiaoru said, "She is just my student's mother, in order to better take care of my student, so of course I will get closer to her."
"You are just a teacher, not her friend. You don't need to be so close. Also, you don't care about their own affairs." Mo Baiyao directly refused. Yao Xiaoru, who was still enthusiastic about education, seemed to be splashed with cold water. Come here.
Yao Xiaoru frowned, "Why?"
"Let you take care of nothing, you can take care of it, don't you understand?"
"But now that the child is not going to school, I also have an obligation as a teacher. And in this matter, I also have my responsibilities!"
"What are your responsibilities?"
"I didn't care about Shao Yu, and let the reporter say those things to the child!"
"You think you are really a superman, who can you protect. The reason why those reporters chase Shaoyu is only because they want to report news to increase circulation. The harm caused by objective factors has nothing to do with you."
Yao Xiaoru insisted, "But they hurt my students, it's related!"
"No matter what those reporters say, since the news will be reported and the report is so detailed, it will not be fabricated out of thin air." Mo Baiyao calmly retorted, "What you have done you must bear."
How could Yao Xiaoru know the true and false of those news, but his words made her understand a little bit, "So, do you think Shao Yu's mother, Song Qiyue, she is not a good person?"
"Who can be considered a good person?" Mo Baiyao asked back, and he said solemnly, "Everyone will do many wrongs and bad things. She has committed a crime, went to prison, and was sentenced to jail. It's all facts."
For Yao Xiaoru to go to jail for crimes, these things are hard to imagine, they are impossible for her to experience in her life, but when she thinks of Song Qiyue coming to school for a crayon, she can't get rid of this scene anyway. Even if she is guilty, maternal love is not guilty!"
It was rare for a girl who would argue with him in this way. At this moment, it was so stubborn that Mo Baiyao was taken aback.
"Maternal love is never sinful!" Yao Xiaoru said stubbornly.
At this moment, her persistent female voice, that delicate girl's face, was shining with scorching light in the silhouette of the sun.
But at the end, as if she was so angry, she didn't want to talk anymore, got up and left.
...
When the evening came, the afternoon birthday tea party ended, night was about to fall, and the performance began. Teacher Ru took the children with him, and wanted Shao Yu to perform together, so she said to Mr. Mo, "Can you Let the children perform together?"
Of course it is possible, Mo Zhengyan promised.
Shao Yu brought his friends here, and the black piano was placed in the hall. The child practiced the piano every day, and at this time the housekeeper Zhao immediately had someone take away the cloth. The saxophone on the piano was also taken away.
Song Qiyue stood in the crowd and looked at Shao Yu, but couldn't find Nie Xun. When I turned around, I found that Nie Xun was coming by, "Where did he go?"
Nie Xun said, "Feel free to visit."
Everyone has gathered, and Shao Yu politely said to the guests, "Now I will perform a show with my friends."
The guests applauded, Shao Yu and the children nodded, only to see the children, standing in a row, standing beside the piano, and Shao Yu walking towards the piano.
The little prince sat on the piano chair, and the teacher Ru made a gesture, and suddenly the piano sounded.
Dingdong Dingdong, the music has started. It is Shao Yu's flexible fingers that press a note on the keyboard, like a butterfly dancing.
Immediately sounded, the children's singing, a little girl began to sing, it was an English song, "To—the—rush—of—day——"
After the girl led the song, Song Qiyue heard the song. It was the theme song of the animation "The Lion King" that children loved to watch, and it was a song called "Love Tonight". Song Qiyue looked at Shao Yu's profile. She was in the crowd, and suddenly stepped forward, and everyone looked at the child in full view.
Nie Xun was taken aback and did not expect that she had moved forward.
Mo Zhengyan watched her, and saw Song Qiyue quietly come to the piano, and she also sat down on the piano chair.
Suddenly, in the smooth music, the piano sound stopped, and the children's singing also stopped. Shao Yu was taken aback and looked back at Song Qiyue.
Song Qiyue smiled at him. She raised her hand and dropped the key, one note after another, motivating him, as if to play with him.
In the stalemate, the silent little prince finally agreed, willing to join her.
The song "Infinite Love Tonight" played that music again, hovering in the hall. It was the sound of the piano and the children's voices and the sounds of nature, but in the quiet appreciation of everyone, another sound of music was mixed.
That's the saxophone.
At the other end of the hall, Mo Zhengyan picked up the saxophone, and he blew the melodious music. Song Qiyue must have looked over. It was his profile face. She looked into the bottom of her eyes. The arc of the memory seemed to be the best profile face.
The children’s children’s voice is exactly that line, "And—can—you—feel—the—love—tonight——"
There was a calm surrendered under the rush of the day, when the heat in the squally wind also turned.
Do you feel the love tonight
