Liu Wei'an was also surprised. This pretty boy who looked like a sissy girl actually had such a skill. He was a silver-level expert. Without experience, there is no right to speak. He knows the difficulties every step forward. It is so difficult for him to reach the late bronze stage. You can imagine how terrifying the silver level is. It really goes with the old saying, a person cannot be judged by his appearance.
Zhou Lijun was very satisfied with the surprised expressions of the two of them, and she kept her neck raised during the subsequent conversation without feeling tired.
Five or six minutes later, the host of the banquet came, pushing a large cake with more than twenty layers and two people as tall as each other. Only then did Liu Wei'an understand the purpose of the banquet. It turned out to be for the little princess of the Huang family. Birthday.
In terms of family power, the six major families are at the top of the pyramid and are called top families. Below them are the second-rate families, namely the Sun family, the He family, the Huang family, the Zhou family, the Wu family, the Xu family, the Zhu family, the Ma family and The Hu family, below that, is a third-rate family. There are more third-rate families, and the next one is an ordinary family and is not qualified to be a family member.
The Huang family ranks third among the second-rate families. However, the head of the Huang family this time is the deputy prime minister of the dynasty. This status immediately makes the Huang family's status rise linearly, and they have the ability to compete with the top families. Therefore, this time The banquet is of such a scale that many people have to come from thousands of miles away after receiving the invitation.
Power is like a magnet that attracts people together.
The little princess is a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old. She is very beautiful. She wears a princess dress and a crystal crown, but she is a bit thin. In popular words, she is beautiful and skinny. However, the most attractive thing is her eyes, which are innocent and clear, like clear springs that have not been contaminated by the world.
For some reason, Liu Wei'an felt familiar when he saw this little girl, especially after hearing her speak. Her voice was very familiar, but he couldn't remember it. After he came to Xinfeng City, he really didn't know her. What kind of girl, Wu Lili is an exception.
Singing a birthday song, followed by enthusiastic blessings from a group of guests, and then sharing the cake, this is a very intimate thing, because there are too many unfamiliar people, although these people have sincere looks on their faces. Smiling, but Liu Wei'an still saw the unhappiness deep in the little princess's eyes. Perhaps, for her, it was not as happy as several family members eating a meal together.
The cake looks very big, and there are many, with twelve layers, but there are more people present. The people who can share the cake are people with particularly high status. Xiang Xu Ying, Hong Taichang, Zhou Lijun and others are not qualified to share the cake. When it comes to cake, although no one comes here just to eat it, being able to get a piece of it is a kind of recognition.
After the process was completed, the little princess leaned over and said some words of thanks before exiting, and the banquet officially began. It was nothing more than dancing and socializing. Hong Taichang was the first to leave with his fiancée, followed by Zhou Lijun, who raised her neck and said His male companion went down, Xu Ying looked at Liu Wei'an expectantly, and Liu Wei'an looked at him with a pair of innocent eyes.
"You-can't dance."
"I still remember a little bit about the radio gymnastics in elementary school." Liu Wei'an was very honest.
"Let's go farther away, so as not to be laughed at by Zhou Lijun later." Xu Ying said helplessly.
"That's what I meant." Liu Wei'an actually felt that it was almost time to leave. The owner was so stingy that he didn't even want to share a piece of the cake, so why did he stay? Although everyone looked like they were used to it, he felt unhappy.
As soon as the two of them stood up, Liu Wei'an saw a middle-aged lady in luxurious clothes walking straight towards them. Xu Ying, who was holding his hand, clearly felt her body tremble slightly. When the middle-aged lady came closer, her eyes were filled with laughter. A little uneasy: "Aunt Zhang, you are here too."
The lady named Aunt Zhang had a stern face, and her sword-like gaze was directed at the hands held by the two of them, and then moved to Liu Wei'an: "Who are you?"
"He is Liu Wei'an——" Xu Ying retracted her hand like a lightning bolt, with a nervous expression.
"Are you the one I'm asking about?" Aunt Zhang's eyes narrowed, and a sense of majesty came out. Xu Ying immediately closed her mouth, and Aunt Zhang's eyes moved to Liu Wei'an again: "Say."
Liu Wei'an narrowed his eyes slightly. The condescending aura of this lady made him feel particularly uncomfortable. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Xu Ying's pleading eyes. His heart softened, and then a senseless anger arose. He laughed and said, "I'm just one of the guests here. I saw this beautiful lady alone, so I came to ask her to dance. Is there anything wrong with her?"
Xu Ying obviously breathed a sigh of relief and showed a grateful expression. Liu Wei'an's heart sank, and his expression became even more indifferent.
"She already has a master, you can go." Aunt Zhang said unceremoniously.
"Sorry to bother you." Liu Wei'an glanced at Xu Ying, but found that she had lowered her head, and sneered in his heart. Just as he took a step, he felt his arm tightening, and he was already held by an arm. A familiar voice sounded.
"Dear, I'm sorry, I'm late, don't be angry with me, okay?" Wu Lili said pitifully, but she winked playfully in private.
People are so strange. Before, Liu Wei'an didn't like Wu Lili, but at this moment, he found her so cute and charming. He smiled and said, "How could that be? Do you look like I'm angry?" He hugged Wu Lili. With a thin waist, leave this corner.
"What's your relationship with that woman?" Wu Lili looked at him with her big eyes open.
"Guess!" Liu Wei'an took a glass of red wine from the waiter's plate and drank it gently with charming eyes.
"It's definitely not your girlfriend, because if it were me, even if your parents catch you, I won't let you go." Wu Lili said flatly.
"Aren't you a student? Why are you so smart?" Liu Wei'an put the cup on Wu Lili's red lips. Wu Lili's face turned red and she took a shy sip.
"Is there any contradiction between being a student and being smart?"
"I mean you are still young, how can you know so much."
"I see you're not very big either."
…
A glass of wine is not much. You two take a sip, and I finish it in one sip. Wu Lili snapped her fingers skillfully and asked the waiter to fill it up. She was hooked on this feeling.
After a few glasses of wine, both of them were a little tipsy. Liu Wei'an was fine and his eyes were clear. Wu Lili's cheeks were dizzy and her body was hot. She leaned half against Liu Wei'an and let out snickering laughter from time to time.
After this little beauty's gag, Liu Wei'an was in a much better mood. According to the nature of the matter, he shouldn't be angry, because it was a fake in the first place. Besides, he not only mixed up the outfit but also mixed up the food. It turned out to be a profit, but people's hearts are complicated. Some things are not as simple as one plus one equals two. The moment Xu Ying was shocked and let go, it stung his heart and made him feel particularly uncomfortable, especially when he said it was a stranger. The relief in Xu Ying's expression during the relationship made him suddenly feel like a person abandoned by the world. That feeling is more bitter than eating Coptis chinensis.
He could only keep reminding himself that this was all fake, it was all fake, Xu Ying was not his girlfriend, and he was not Xu Ying's boyfriend. It was normal for Xu Ying to say this, and his obligations were not only It was agreed that he was playing the role of a boyfriend and needed to resolve dangers. Breaking off the relationship without hesitation was also part of acting. However, it was easy to say but not so easy to do. That’s why he subconsciously encouraged Wu Lili. Drinking is just using her as an object to vent.
When Wu Lili was half drunk, he suddenly realized that this was extremely unfair to Wu Lili. Wu Lili was kind enough to help him out, but he treated her as the object of his venting. This was a bit too unkind, so he quickly changed the wine to red wine. She drank orange juice, but Wu Lili took a sip and spurted it out.
"It doesn't taste good, but red wine tastes better."
"You'll get drunk if you drink any more. Orange juice is just right for your skin." Liu Wei'an said softly.
"Opportunities are rare. I don't know how many people want to get me drunk but they don't have the chance!" Wu Lili's bright eyes were seductive.
There is always a kind of temptation that cannot be seen in women who drink. As the alcohol evaporates, the light body fragrance is mixed with the alcohol. Liu Wei'an hugs this fiery body that seems to have no bones, and he has a feeling that the wine is not intoxicating. I felt drunk, but in the end I had to bite the bullet and refuse.
"obedient!"
"Okay." Wu Lili tilted her head and looked at Liu Wei'an, "Why did I think you were a country bumpkin when I first met you?"
"Because I am a country bumpkin." Liu Wei'an said.
"You seem to have grown a little taller than the last time we met." Wu Lili automatically ignored his words.
"Is it strange that boys develop later? Some people still grow taller after getting married." Liu Wei'an's eyes were searching everywhere. He was looking for Wu Lili's father, and he was talking meaningless words.
"That's right." Wu Lili said distressedly: "But this way, you are getting taller and taller. Even when I wear high heels, I am shorter than you. It doesn't match."
"There's nothing to worry about, won't you continue to grow?" Liu Wei'an said casually.
"I seem to be fully grown, and I haven't grown in size for a year." Wu Lili glanced at her chest with a frown, "I eat papaya every day, but I can't see it growing any bigger."
Liu Wei'an subconsciously followed her gaze and glanced at it. From his angle, he could just see two-thirds of it. It was extremely clear. His heart beat faster. He quickly looked away and said, "You old man?" As for dad, I haven’t found him after searching for a long time.”
"He is in the room on the second floor, not down there. Of course you can't find him. Now I won't hold you back, your beautiful lady is looking for you." Wu Lili said gloomily.
Liu Wei'an turned around and saw Xu Ying waving to him.
"You go find your dad, I'm almost going back." Liu Wei'an made sure Wu Lili was not drunk before letting go.
"Can I still call you?" Wu Lili shouted at her back.
Liu Wei paused, put his hand to his ear, and made a phone call gesture. Wu Lili immediately became happy.
