Ye Mingze's face turned pale instantly, his legs went weak, and he almost fell down the stairs.
It was only the quick eyesight and quick hands of the person next to him who could help him.
"Brother Mingze, what's wrong with you?"
When several people saw his reaction like this, they were all confused, and their eyes kept lingering on the two of them.
"You... know each other?"
Ye Mingze grasped the wrist of the person next to him tightly and tried several times before he could barely stand still. However, the eyes he looked at the girl were full of fear.
He pointed at Ye Chutang with his trembling right hand and stammered: "Ghost! Ghost!"
This sound immediately attracted the attention of many people, and they all looked here curiously.
Ye Chutang looked around, raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked strangely: "What did you say? The sky is clear and the sun is bright, where does this ghost come from?"
As she spoke, she raised her chin slightly: "Ayan, Afeng, why didn't you even say hello when I saw your cousin?"
Ye Jingyan stood up immediately, and that elegant and handsome face was clearly reflected in Ye Mingze's frightened eyes.
He smiled apologetically and saluted politely: "I'm sorry, cousin, I didn't recognize him just now."
Ye Yunfeng put down his chopsticks reluctantly and said hello lazily: "Cousin."
Ye Chutang touched Xiao Wu's head, with a smile on his lips, and introduced: "This is Lingzhi."
When Xiao Wu heard the sound, he obediently raised his head, looked at Ye Mingze and blinked, his big black grape-like eyes pure and unfamiliar.
——This is the one that Fourth Brother mentioned before that he always liked to steal their things when he was a child, and he always went to complain? But why didn't Fourth Brother say anything? He was so cowardly?
The key is, it's ugly.
She withdrew her gaze with some boredom and shook her feet.
Ye Mingze's Tianling Gai felt numb for a while, and his soul was about to be scared away.
He couldn't believe his eyes and rubbed them hard, but found that nothing in front of him had changed.
Those familiar and unfamiliar faces that he thought he would never see again in his life actually appeared before his eyes again!
Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, his throat was dry, and he subconsciously looked at Ye Chutang's feet.
Is there a shadow?
So are they really, really not ghosts, but humans?
Seeing him like this, Ye Chutang blinked, with some concern on his face.
"Mingze, are you feeling unwell?"
Ye Mingze was not only uncomfortable, his whole body was not well!
Han Yao never expected that he just wanted to take the opportunity to chat with this rare beauty and please Ye Mingze, but he made such a big mistake.
He suddenly felt extremely embarrassed and wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in: "Brother Mingze, this, this is your cousin? Why, why haven't I heard you mention it before..."
Ye Mingze was really in trouble, his breath was stuck in his chest, and he couldn't move up or down.
He couldn't even imagine it!
Who would take the initiative to mention someone who should have died three years ago? Who would have thought we would see each other again!
Several people nearby quickly exchanged glances and came out to smooth things over.
"Yes, yes! I've never seen this before!"
"No wonder you kept looking over there just now. Did you just recognize it?"
"What a coincidence, haha! We meet here! Brother Mingze, why don't you introduce us?"
Ye Mingze finally managed to regain some sense.
Realizing his gaffe, he took a deep breath and forced out a smile.
But the looks looking at Ye Chutang and the others were very complicated.
"Cousin, cousin, is it really you? But you are not—"
Halfway through his words, he suddenly paused.
How could you ask those words in front of so many people!
Ye Chutang's lips curved slightly: "I was delayed due to some accidents before, so I just came back now. I haven't returned for a long time, and the capital is still as prosperous and lively as before. By the way, what you just said, my second uncle has been promoted to the rank of Shaoqing of Dali Temple? What a congratulations.”
Ye Mingze must be very proud when others say this, but the person who said this is Ye Chutang!
He mentally encouraged himself several times before finally taking a step forward with his still weak legs.
"You, why didn't you tell me in advance when you came back?"
There was a hint of blame in his words.
Ye Chutang smiled calmly and gently and said, "There are a lot of things to do, I didn't have time."
After saying this, no matter how dissatisfied Ye Mingze felt in his heart, he couldn't express it.
He walked down the stairs, but there was still some distance between him and Ye Chutang. Whether it was fear or other reasons, he did not step forward.
In comparison, Ye Chutang was much more relaxed.
"Ayan, Afeng, please sit down and eat. The food will not taste good when it gets cold."
As she said that, she said to Ye Mingze: "Mingze, are you coming too?"
Ye Mingze responded like a conditioned reflex: "No!"
After saying this, he also realized that his reaction was too much, and quickly explained: "I, I ate upstairs!"
Ye Chutang smiled slightly.
Three years ago, Ye Mingze's father, her second uncle Ye Heng, was just an inconspicuous prime minister of the sixth rank of Dali Temple. In just three years, he was promoted several levels and became a fourth rank of Dali Temple. Shaoqing.
As a result, even his son Ye Mingze has become much more generous and generous than before. He can easily enter and exit the private rooms in Lanyue Tower and has become the target of many dandy boys vying to please him.
In three years, too many things have happened and too many changes have taken place.
She gave Xiao Wu another piece of mandarin fish.
"This fish has no spines. Can you try it?"
Xiao Wu took a bite, his eyes suddenly lit up, he nodded vigorously, and then handed the peeled phoenix shrimp to Ye Chutang.
--tasty! My sister eats it too!
Ye Mingze looked at this scene and Ye Chutang's calm and calm appearance from beginning to end. He couldn't help but clenched his fists, feeling angry and annoyed in his heart.
He didn't know what was going on, but Ye Chutang was just sitting there, as if he had an invisible aura about him, which made him nervous unconsciously!
But he is no longer the same person he was three years ago! His father is now a fourth-rank official in the imperial court! I don’t know how many times better than Ye Chutang and the others!
Thinking of this, he wanted to go back home immediately and tell his father and others that Ye Chutang and the others were still alive. But if he just left, who knew what Ye Chutang and the others would do next!
After thinking about it, Ye Mingze felt that he still had to have a good grasp of their situation.
He turned back to Han Yao and the others and said, "I won't go with you today. My cousin and the others are here. I will take them back later."
Naturally, those people would not object, exchanged glances with each other, and then left in unison.
But as he was leaving, his eyes couldn't help but linger on Ye Chutang for a moment longer.
This kind of appearance and bearing is even worse than that of Ye Mingze's sister who is known as the most beautiful woman in the capital...
But the next moment, they saw the young man sitting on the right side of Ye Chutang suddenly turned his head and looked over, his handsome eyebrows carrying a dangerous warning.
After just one glance, several people felt chills running down their backs and quickly looked away.
Ye Chutang didn't pay attention, just looked at Ye Mingze, smiled lightly and said: "Mingze, thank you for your kindness, but we are returning to Beijing on the first day today, so we still plan to go home first, and after resting, we will officially go to the second uncle's house tomorrow. Come and visit.”
Ye Mingze's face suddenly stiffened.
Ye Chutang asked casually, "By the way, are you still living there in Fengling Lane?"
