Chapter 3 City people really know how to play
As soon as the door opened, Lu Fan quickly ducked around the corner.
The clenched fists never let go.
I still remember that when I first met Lu Bancai, there were neither touching words nor sensational tears.
Lu Bancai told her bluntly, "I came just in time. Mrs. Ye heard that you had gone down the mountain and came to propose marriage. If you really want to hospitalize your master for medical treatment, you have no choice but to agree to this marriage."
That day, he continued to induce: "The Ye family is very popular. Even if you can't go to college, if you can get married, you won't have to worry about food and drink for the rest of your life. This is a good marriage that I have burned for you all my life. Even if you are
My sister, Lu Yinyin, is not as blessed as you..."
"Your sister is good at singing and dancing and has many talents. If you learn more from her during this period, you won't lose our family's face when you marry into the Ye family."
He also said, "Mr. Ye is young and promising. You will not suffer any loss if you marry him. When we get to Pinghai District, I will arrange for you to meet."
"..."
It turned out that all these lies were because he did not want his company to be acquired by Haicheng Group.
Master is right.
City people really know how to play.
*
Six o'clock in the evening.
Pinghai District is near the sea in the suburbs.
In the Nordic-style manor-level villa, servants in uniforms were in full swing preparing for tonight's feast.
The banquet will be held on the large lawn in the front yard of the villa.
At this moment, it has been decorated in an extremely luxurious atmosphere, ranging from the open-air scenery to every piece of tableware on the table. Everything reflects the extremely noble identity and status of the owner.
In the inner courtyard of the villa, expensive flowers and green plants are planted on both sides of the road, extending all the way to the main hall door.
Five or six people are already sitting on the luxurious sofa in the hall.
Except for Lu Fan who had not yet arrived, the three members of the Lu family sat neatly on the sofa opposite Ye Mu, looking extremely nervous.
This Lu Fan has already exceeded the agreed time by half an hour.
"Mrs. Ye, I'm really sorry. Lu Fan has just arrived in Pinghai District not long ago and is not familiar with the road conditions, so it may take some time."
Even though there was central air conditioning in the hall, Lu Bancai was so nervous that he broke into a cold sweat.
Sitting on the sofa directly opposite him was a dignified and beautiful lady, whose behavior was particularly elegant and generous. "It doesn't matter, we will start eating whenever she arrives."
In comparison, Chairman Ye sitting next to her seemed a bit out of place.
He looked at the financial newspaper in his hand for a while, and then at his watch, but never glanced at the three members of the Lu family opposite him.
"It's also because she's used to living in the temple and being idle. No one taught her how to behave. She even procrastinates on such important occasions. Unlike her sister Yin Yin, who has grown up beside us since she was a child and is very well-behaved and sensible.
"
The speaker was Lu Bancai’s current wife, Lin Erlan.
She opened her mouth to "step on" Lu Fan, and then rushed to "promote" her own daughter.
"Yinyin, didn't you prepare a piece of music for Mrs. Ye? There happens to be a piano there, go and play it."
"good."
Lu Yinyin was wearing a snow-white dress, looking like a lady, and walked towards the piano at the bottom of the spiral staircase.
Just as Ye Mu was about to stop her, she saw a tall figure walking into the hall door.
"A Sheng is back?"
She stood up and gave him a big hug lovingly, "Didn't I tell Yutian to remind you to come back early?"
"I……"
Ye Chisheng noticed that there were other people in the living room. When he looked over, he suddenly yelled: "Hey! Who told you to touch my piano?!"
This roar not only startled everyone present, but also almost frightened Lu Yinyin who had just sat down in front of the piano to show off her skills.
"Why don't you get out of here!"
Ye Chisheng strode over and pulled Lu Yinyin down.
Lu Bancai and Lin Erlan were both dumbfounded.
Everyone in the Ye family didn't know that the piano was Ye Chisheng's treasure.
Even Chairman Ye and his wife did not dare to touch it at all.
Once, the former housekeeper almost threw it out. When he found out about it, he "fired" the housekeeper on the same day.
"A Sheng, don't be so cruel to this girl's family. After all, she is Fanfan's sister."
Ye Chisheng stared at Lu Yinyin, who was trembling with fear, and threatened her -
"Don't think that just because you are related to Lu Fan, you can touch my things at will. If you dared to press a key just now, I will cut off your finger!"
When Lu Yinyin heard this, she ran back to Lu Bancai in shame and anger.
"Why are you so useless that you are shrinking now?" Lin Erlan felt for the first time that her daughter was really useless.
Lu Yinyin felt even more aggrieved, wringing her fingers and gritting her teeth secretly.
He thought that as long as he won Mrs. Ye's favor, he could replace Lu Fan and marry into a wealthy family.
Unexpectedly, Ye Chisheng was a tough nut to crack.
Wouldn't it be bloody unlucky for anyone to marry him?
Thinking of this, I immediately felt gloating.
Lu Fan, this unlucky guy...
When it was said that Cao Cao had arrived, the housekeeper came in and reported: "Madam, Miss Lu has arrived."
"reached?"
As soon as she heard that Lu Fan was coming, Ye's mother's eyes lit up, and she pulled Ye Chisheng, who was still angry, to pick him up at the door.
As soon as he walked out of the hall, he saw Lu Fan, who was coming alone, stopping outside the door.
Her shoulder-length hair was tied into a simple ponytail behind her head, and the white-washed monk's uniform she wore looked extremely out of place in this grand banquet.
But her beautiful and refined face seems to be born pure and innocent, with a calmness that is indifferent to the world. It can't help but remind people of the "lotus" that can only be seen from a distance but not played with.
"Fan Fan, welcome, welcome, I am Ah Sheng's mother."
"Hello, aunt."
The two pear dimples on the corners of Lu Fan's mouth appeared slightly, and his clear and translucent peach blossom eyes were like clear water and sweet springs, looking at Ye Chisheng who was leaning at the door.
The strange thing is that he is actually smiling at her.
It was clear that a few hours ago, he was full of hostility, saying nasty words to her and ignoring her.
Realizing that the atmosphere was not right, Mother Ye turned around and pushed Ye Chisheng out, "You brat, why don't you go over and greet me?"
"..."
Unprepared, Ye Chisheng stumbled on his feet and pounced directly on Lu Fan.
Not sure if it was a coincidence or his true skill, Lu Fan turned to one side and perfectly avoided him.
Ye Chisheng, who was lying on the ground, said in despair: "Mom!"
When she turned around, she saw her mother holding Lu Fan's hand like a baby, smiling from ear to ear, "Our family, Fanfan, has become more and more beautiful. In the past two years, my aunt has been looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally she has brought you into our home."
"
With that said, he ignored his son's slightly sad eyes, took Lu Fan's hand and walked towards the hall.
The three members of the Lu family, who were still sitting motionless in the hall, looked at each other in shock after seeing their familiar and affectionate behavior.
Lu Yinyin, in particular, muttered in a low voice: "Dad, it seems like they have known each other for a long time. Haven't you asked Lu Fan before?"
"She is an uneducated country bumpkin who only deserves to live with a monk. How could she possibly know a big shot like Mrs. Ye?"
Lin Erlan changed her sitting position and glanced at Lu Fan with disdain.
