Chapter 8: The best wine
When Lan Ke woke up, she was lying on her bed. Her clothes were the same as yesterday, but she took off her coat and shoes. She really didn't know how she got back. She had a splitting headache and touched the alarm clock on the bedside table to confirm the time.
, to see if it is possible to sleep back in the cage.
She vaguely remembered that Xie Shimeng asked Yang Di to call Chu Xuan yesterday. She suddenly lost all sleep and could not even be more awake than now. She sat up straight, frowned, and patted her forehead feebly, mustering up her courage.
When he rushed to the living room, he saw Chu Yun leaning on the sofa.
Not Chu Xuan, but his driver Chu Yun.
Although the voice was not loud, he still felt it and hurriedly stood up. There was no shyness or embarrassment as expected by Lan Ke. Chu Yun's voice was unfamiliar and cold, "Since you are awake, I will go back."
Lan Ke bit her lip and asked, "Chu Xuan, he-"
Chu Yun understood what she wanted to ask, so he replied in a stylized manner, "Mr. Chu didn't come, I picked you up."
Lan Ke scratched his hair nervously, breathed a sigh of relief, and just smiled a little unnaturally, "Oh, thank you then."
"No, this is Mr. Chu's order." Chu Yun said rudely.
I didn't expect him to say that, with such an unfamiliar tone, full of displeasure, and a trace of sadness welling up in his heart. When Lan Ke opened his mouth and didn't know what to say, Chu Yun had already left the door.
She fell down on the sofa, like a deflated rubber ball. She was not embarrassed, and the other party did not give her a chance to embarrass her. Essentially, she came to find someone to embarrass herself first, but she didn't "get what she wanted" and wanted to take advantage of it.
He took the opportunity to vent, and then he left again, knocking his head and saying, "Damn it, why did you drink so much!"
He stretched out his limbs, rolled his eyes, and sighed.
"It's over, it's over. Chu Xuan must feel that he is too bored now. Why would he go to see someone else if he has nothing to do? What's more, he has said that he will not let himself appear in front of him."
But luckily it wasn't Chu Xuan, because Lan Ke only knew that her wine was not that good. Ning Tian had criticized her wine before, but she never admitted it until that time...
If Lan Ke knew that her wine taste was so bad and she liked to flirt with handsome guys after drinking, especially the person she was flirting with, she would never drink until she fell unconscious...
It all started when Xie Shimeng got angry and took her dormitory sisters and fake boyfriend to attend the birthday party of school belle Dong Yujia. Dong Yujia’s birthday party ended up being a bit like a farce, so that every time she talked about Xie Shimeng afterwards,
She dragged Lan Ke into laughing so hard that she became convulsed. She laughed until her stomach hurt and asked Feng Jie to rub her entangled intestines.
After many twists and turns, they arrived at their destination. Because Lan Ke pointed the wrong way, she and Chu Xuan were both late.
The Dong family is just a private villa, not luxurious. It is far less dazzling than Dong Yujia himself. Compared with Ningyuan, it is much inferior. It should not be compared with the Chu family. Therefore, in Lan Ke's somewhat surprised eyes, Chu
Xuan walked in nonchalantly and without squinting.
Lan Ke wanted to rush in and save her sisters from the "dire straits and heat", but when she saw Chu Xuan beside her, she acted like a lady and followed him unhurriedly.
The door creaked open. The door, which was not heavy at first, hit Lan Ke's heart hard at that moment. The room was not as low-key as the outside. It was extremely luxurious, with golden color as the main color.
There was a lot of noise, and it was not just the students of the school, but also Dong Yujia's relatives and friends, including some guests from his father's business. This made Lan Ke even doubt whether the real purpose of her birthday party was to embarrass the dormitory people.
sisters.
The first reaction was not to look for the sisters in the dormitory. She didn't dare to look at anyone. The smiling face she put in front of the mirror had long been lost in Java. But what Ning Tian said before echoed in her mind. She was not allowed to look at it in front of others.
She had no eyelids, so she could only look at the colorful and dazzling large chandeliers on the roof.
Walking next to Chu Xuan, he was definitely the center of attention and "the target of public criticism". It was only at this moment that Lan Ke truly realized that this feeling was not pleasant. Everything was silent and everyone's eyes were focused on him, as if they were in focus.
His face should look very unnatural.
I only heard a voice in my ear, "Relax, you won't be so nervous that you run away. In that case, I will be the one who loses face." The tone was teasing, obviously with a smile, but Lan Ke knew that he was trying to comfort him.
My own, but when did he become so verbose? He exhaled secretly, reached out and took Chu Xuan's stretched out left arm, raised his head, and smiled.
He didn't pay attention to Shi Meng, who was already dumbfounded, and didn't pay attention to the astonished crowd. However, he caught Ning Tian's clear smile and saw Chu Xuan being tapped on the shoulder, "Boy, why are you here?"
Chu Xuan curled his lips and gave a well-placed wry smile, "Well, we are familiar with the terrain of this city."
When Lan Ke heard this, she almost choked and smiled sheepishly.
Follow Chu Xuan to greet Dong Yujia and Dong Dashuxing. In fact, she doesn't have to say anything, just keep smiling. Chu Xuan does all the talking. It seems that he often attends such gatherings and is familiar with polite words.
If you are familiar with the road, you will be able to do it with ease.
Dong Yujia's attitude towards Young Master Chu was very special. It was neither flattering nor cold, but rather neither humble nor overbearing. But for this, Lan Ke couldn't help but admire her. Maybe she was not as hypocritical and vain as the legend said.
After Mr. Chu was pestered by Dong's father's uncles and seniors, Lan Ke left quietly, hoping to find some food to pay homage to the Five Internal Organs Temple. As soon as he broke out of the encirclement, he was caught by Shi Meng and the others, "Little brat."
, where to escape? After giving me a fright, here comes such a big surprise!" Shi Meng's claws are indeed well-deserved.
"Tathagata Buddha, I didn't run away. I'm hungry. Let's find something to eat." Lan Ke frowned.
"What's the situation?" Feng Xixi asked Lan Ke while pouting in the direction of Chu Xuan.
"Be honest" Feng Jie pretended to have a straight face.
Yao Lin coquettishly stretched out her fingers to hook Lan Ke's chin, "Tell the slave family, okay?"
Gao Xiaojin just smiled implicitly, but her strong desire for knowledge could be seen.
"Oh, Ning Tian helped me a lot," Lan Ke said dully, shaking his hand casually, suppressing his excitement.
"You are so arrogant!" Shi Meng couldn't suppress the excitement on her face and almost jumped over to kiss Lan Ke wildly.
While Lan Ke was chatting animatedly with her sisters, a man suddenly bumped into her. The wine glass in his tray was poured directly onto her, and the red liquid slid across her white arms, which was particularly eye-catching.
Lan Ke looked up and saw the perpetrator - Dong Yujia, who was pulling Lin Ye. Their collision caused the person to hit him. Dong Yujia was not as quiet as she usually was on the surface. Her expression at this moment was more stubborn.
and sharp.
Lin Ye, in fact, Lan Ke was not familiar with him either. She just heard that he and Xixi performed a bullfight at the school anniversary. Both of them became famous, but Xixi was said to be a vixen who seduced him.
Lan Ke wiped the wine stains on his arms in embarrassment with his hands. Xie Shimeng's face looked ugly, but Feng Jie held him back, otherwise he would have rushed up and poured a glass of wine on Dong Yujia.
As if the hustle and bustle around her had stopped, Ning Tian was the first to rush over, handed Lan Ke a towel, and motioned for her to wipe it off first. He then ordered the waiter who stayed aside to pack her things, and greeted everyone with a smile.
"It's time for the birthday boy to propose a toast to everyone," he handed the wine glass to Dong Yujia.
"Yu Jia, after paying respects here, Uncle Dong is still waiting." Dong Yujia's pupils suddenly tightened, and her originally white face was even more frighteningly white at the moment. She let go of Lin Ye's arm and raised her hand to everyone.
He raised his glass, drank the wine in one breath, took a breath, turned around and walked towards his father.
When Lin Ye kept his head down and turned to leave, he was grabbed by Ning Tian. Ning Tian just said a word to him. Lin Ye was stunned and stood there motionless. Feng Jie accompanied Lan Ke to the bathroom.
