Fu Xiaozhi asked Zhou Li: "What do you mean?"
After hearing Fu Xiaozhi's question, Zhou Li moved his eyes away from Jiang Mingzhu's face. He met Fu Xiaozhi's gaze and said, "That's what you see."
Fu Xiaozhi: "Does she deserve to be here?"
Zhou Li: "She is my fiancée. If the old man asks me to come, it means he has invited her."
Every line is full of defense for Zhan Yubai, and it's obvious that he stands in line.
Zhan Yubai pursed his lips and whispered, "Zhou Li, why don't I go back first..."
Zhan Yubai's tone sounded aggrieved, and his eyes seemed to be red, forbearing and understanding.
Zhou Li held her shoulders and said, "Let's go."
Then he passed Jiang Mingzhu and Fu Xiaozhi and headed for the elevator.
After Fu Xiaozhi was ignored, she was naturally unhappy and immediately wanted to follow her and have a fight with Zhou Li. Jiang Mingzhu quickly stopped her with quick eyes and hands.
"Don't be angry on such an important day."
Fu Xiaozhi: "Sooner or later, her hypocritical mask will be torn off."
Because of Jiang Mingzhu's persuasion, Fu Xiaozhi gradually calmed down and took Jiang Mingzhu to the banquet hall upstairs.
Fu Xiaozhi's grandfather had a special status. Not many people came to celebrate his birthday. The top people in the entire North City were gathered here.
Although Mr. Fu has abdicated for many years, his aura has not diminished at all, and he has a deterrent effect.
However, he was extremely doting on Xiaozhi. When Jiang Mingzhu was brought by Fu Xiaozhi to meet Mr. Fu, the old man even greeted Jiang Mingzhu.
Just as Jiang Mingzhu finished talking to Mr. Fu, the Zhou family came over.
Mr. Zhou, Zhou Zhanghui and Jin Rou came together.
Mr. Zhou and Mr. Fu have been friends for decades. After the two met, they patted each other on the shoulders and said hello.
Although the three of them had not introduced themselves yet, Jiang Mingzhu was able to confirm Zhou Zhanghui's identity when she saw his face.
Then, Jiang Mingzhu moved her gaze to Jin Rou who was standing aside.
The rich lady who still has charm, does not have any arrogance or domineering airs, she looks very gentle, and her eyes are always smiling.
It's hard to imagine that such an easy-going and gentle person could give birth to a cold son like Zhou Li.
Jiang Mingzhu observed that there seemed to be no rift between the Fu family and the Zhou family because of the engagement between Zhou Li and Zhan Yubai.
At least judging from the conversations between several elders, they are very harmonious.
Jin Rou noticed Jiang Mingzhu and was curious: "Liangliang, what is this?"
Fu Xiaozhi: "This is my good friend, Jiang Mingzhu, Yuanye's girlfriend."
Fu Xiaozhi had just introduced Jiang Mingzhu when Zhou Li, Zhan Yubai and Yuan Ye came over.
Jiang Mingzhu's eyes darkened. Before she could react to stop Fu Xiaozhi, Fu Xiaozhi waved towards Yuanye, "Come and see your girlfriend!"
Jiang Mingzhu: "..."
Yuanye: "..."
As soon as Fu Xiaozhi said this, several elders also looked at Jiang Mingzhu and Yuanye.
Jin Rou was surprised, "When did Yuanye find a girlfriend? I never heard of Thursday."
Jiang Mingzhu stood in a dilemma. This could definitely be regarded as the most social moment for her in more than 20 years.
Even with her head lowered, she could still feel the gaze coming from the opposite side, staring at her tightly, with a sense of oppression.
But Yuanye is more panicked than Jiang Mingzhu. Not only does he have to deal with Jin Rou's problems and act in front of Fu Xiaozhi, he also has to endure Zhou Li's torture.
Zhan Yubai also smiled, and she asked in surprise: "Mingzhu and Yuanye are together? Is it a misunderstanding?"
Fu Xiaozhi shouted back: "What's the matter with you?"
Zhou Li said nothing, and his eyes moved from Jiang Mingzhu to Yuan Ye. Although it seemed normal, Yuan Ye felt murderous intent.
Jiang Mingzhu suddenly raised her head, walked towards the field, and tugged on his sleeve, "Why did you come here?"
Her tone is quieter than usual
It softened a bit, softly, like a feather crossing the tip of my heart, making my heart itch unbearably.
Yuan Ye was so excited that he didn't even bother to look at the dark-faced Zhou Li, "Ahem, I wasted a little time on the way."
Jiang Mingzhu: "Well, you go have something to eat with me."
Jiang Mingzhu went to say goodbye to several elders, "I won't disturb you anymore."
Yuanye was taken to the dessert area by Jiang Mingzhu and sat down before he reacted.
Jiang Mingzhu let go of him when she reached her destination, quite intent on burning bridges across rivers.
Yuanye: "I asked, why are you hanging out here today?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "What do you think?"
Yuanye also felt that he had asked nonsense, Fu Xiaozhi must have brought him here.
Yuan Ye was a little more awake now. He glanced in the direction of Zhou Li and said, "I was hurt badly by you today."
The way Zhou Li looked at him just now might kill him if he looked back.
Jiang Mingzhu was immediately amused when she saw Yuan Ye's panicked expression, "Didn't you use me as a shield first?"
Yuanye: "...Okay."
Jiang Mingzhu's mouth was really unforgiving, and he couldn't explain the key.
Also, this woman is definitely poisonous, otherwise why would he feel like she was drunk when she smiled?
After successfully teasing Yuan Ye until she was speechless, Jiang Mingzhu took a piece of dessert and started enjoying it, ignoring Yuan Ye.
Yuanye watched Jiang Mingzhu bite the snack as if there was no one around. After taking a bite, he immediately smiled, like a child who had not grown up.
Yuanye picked up a bottle of sparkling water next to him, opened it, and drank half of the bottle down his throat.
——
After the elders gathered together and chatted for a few words, Jin Rou called Fu Xiaozhi to the terrace alone.
Zhan Yubai looked at the two people leaving and frowned, "I'm a little worried about my aunt..."
Zhou Li: "Don't worry."
Although Fu Xiaozhi was rude to them, she was very polite to her elders. Jin Rou had always been nice to her, and she was very happy getting along with Jin Rou.
Zhan Yubai: "We are straight-tempered, and my aunt always speaks for me. I am always worried about her impulsiveness."
Zhou Li's attention was no longer on Zhan Yubai. He looked at Jiang Mingzhu, who was eating at the dessert table.
Yuan Ye was still sitting next to her. Although the two did not chat, Yuan Ye never took his eyes away from Jiang Mingzhu.
At this moment, Jiang Mingzhu finished her dessert, got up and went to the bathroom.
Zhou Li: "I'm going to the bathroom."
Zhan Yubai didn't have time to care about Zhou Li, but still looked in the direction of the terrace with a worried look.
——
Jiang Mingzhu had just finished washing her hands, but before she could wipe them, she looked up and saw Zhou Li's face in the mirror.
His jaw was tense and his eyes were dark, as if he was coming to settle a score with her.
It doesn't take much thinking to figure out why.
Jiang Mingzhu raised the corners of her mouth, and her indifferent expression made Zhou Li even more angry.
He stepped forward and grabbed Jiang Mingzhu's wrist, took her to the dressing room nearby, and slammed the door.
Jiang Mingzhu was thrown away by Zhou Li and her feet were unsteady. She held on to the makeup mirror to support her body.
She still didn't panic and pursed her lips in grievance, "Brother is so cruel."
Zhou Li stared at her with a chill all over his body.
Jiang Mingzhu went up to hug him, "Be nice to me."
Zhou Li held her hand and asked, "When did you become Yuanye's girlfriend?"
