Chapter 218: Chi Family Banquet Eating Watermelon 1
Liang Yushan agreed to Ye Rou's visit to Chi's house that night. He slapped his head and said with a slightly annoyed tone, "I'm really old. I asked you to come to the study because I wanted to give you this."
He lowered his head, opened the drawer under the desk, and took out a box.
Ye Rou took the box and opened it casually.
In the box is a royal purple jadeite peace locket. The light is a little dim now, and the color is rich and pure purple with extremely high saturation.
Below the peace locket is the earring, a particularly round, rich purple ball earring under the silver ring.
"This is a piece of stone I accidentally found in the local area when I was on a mission in Mianbei." After seeing Ye Rou's photo in the newspaper, Liang Yushan immediately asked Zhang Yang to pick her up. He was so happy that he took the stone to find a master craftsman the next day to make this set of jewelry.
He asked carefully: "Xiao Rou, do you like it?"
Ye Rou didn't hesitate and put on the purple peace locket and earrings neatly, and replied generously: "I like it very much, thank you."
She was wearing a smoky grey cheongsam today, with dark-thread embroidered butterflies that were very close to purple in color. Plus, the spring-colored bracelets had a light purple hue, so the whole outfit didn't look out of place from top to bottom, and was very harmonious.
"Bitch!"
Ji Yan took off her cheongsam with hatred. When she thought that she was wearing the same cheongsam as Ye Rou, she stomped her feet a few times in frustration. Her favorite cheongsam immediately became a piece of waste cloth.
After venting her anger, she composed herself, smiled at herself in the mirror again, and then went downstairs.
But her smile quickly died.
Ji Yan's eyes fell on the jade jewelry worn by Ye Rou, and his hands behind his back squeezed it, making a crackling sound.
When Liang Yushan saw Ji Yan, he immediately said, "Take Xiaorou to the Chi family tonight."
Ji Yan's smile was sour, but she didn't dare to show her temper to Liang Yushan. She suppressed her dissatisfaction and agreed with a smile.
Ye Rou thanked her politely, "Thank you for your hard work this evening, Aunt Ji."
Ji Yan smiled gently.
But Ye Rou still heard the creaking sound of her finger joints.
——
The birthday party was held at Chi's house. The lights were on in the yard and young people gathered outside, chatting in groups of three or four.
The elderly who don’t like to join in the fun are chatting in the house.
Zhao Yuyan sat among the ladies, playing mahjong lazily.
She was preoccupied and couldn't concentrate on playing cards.
"Girls, how can you play mahjong without me?"
Before Ding Shulan even entered the house, her resonant voice seemed to have come through a loud speaker.
Zhao Yuyan annoyed Ding Shulan the most because she was always talking nonsense and always kept watching other people's affairs.
Whenever she saw Ding Shulan, she always pretended not to see her.
People in the hospital also knew that she and Ding Shulan had a bad relationship, so they were not surprised.
But what was strange was that Ding Shulan actually took the initiative to greet Zhao Yuyan today.
She smiled and said, "Yuyan, you are lucky. You married a good husband, and your son also married a good wife."
Zhao Yuyan's face immediately darkened when she heard this.
She wanted Jiang Chen to marry Liang An Ning, but she never expected that he was already married in the countryside.
Although the girl was suspected to be a relative of Commander Li, she was not as good as Liang An Ning.
Commander Li returned to Beijing just because the old leader was seriously ill, and the foundation was not stable enough for him to take over. Commander Ji has been in poor health in recent years and is already in a semi-retired state.
Only Commander Qu and Commander Liang are qualified to compete for that position, but Zhao Yuyan believes that Commander Liang has the most hope. After all, he is young and has the ability to rise step by step from the bottom.
That's why Zhao Yuyan was reluctant to let go of Liang Anning, the big fish, and wanted Jiang Chen to marry her.
These days she has been trying to contact Jiang Chen, wanting him to divorce and marry Liang An Ning, but what makes her angry is that she can't contact Jiang Chen at all.
Old Jiang told her that she had recently seen Jiang Chen training with Li Weijun's soldiers in the military district. She had gone to look for him several times but couldn't find him.
Zhao Yuyan was already in a bad mood after being repeatedly turned away. Now, hearing Ding Shulan's words, she thought she knew Jiang Chen had married a country girl and was deliberately coming to mock him. She felt even angrier and said unhappily, "Ding Shulan, what do you mean?"
Ding Shulan said cheerfully: "Look at you, I sincerely wish you well, why are you still angry?"
"Two-card." Zhao Yuyan played the card and said impatiently, "Thank you, I appreciate your kindness."
Seeing this, Ding Shulan immediately realized that Zhao Yuyan still knew nothing.
She found it even funnier.
How come these two families are so happy?
This compound has become more and more lively recently.
The Chi family took the wrong child away, the Liang family found the child back, and the Jiang family was even more ridiculous. They didn't even know the wife their son married as well as she, an outsider.
Ding Shulan couldn't bear to keep it a secret anymore and simply said, "Zhao Yuyan, I really want to congratulate you. Your son Jiang Chen married Commander Liang's daughter. I saw her today. That girl is so beautiful, wow, there's really nothing to fault with her."
"What are you talking about?" Zhao Yuyan was completely confused.
Ding Shulan was about to explain when she heard someone outside say that Commander Liang had arrived.
She smiled and said, "Speak of the devil and he will appear."
Zhao Yuyan frowned and looked towards the door.
Liang Yushan looks ordinary, but he has held a high position for many years. The power he carries exudes a strong aura of oppression, and the young people in the compound avoid him when they see him.
But today was different. The young people chatting in the yard were all dumbfounded.
Because there was a little girl with him.
She looks more exquisite than a painting, wearing a smoky grey cheongsam with a large skirt, like a gorgeous and dazzling flower. Her fox eyes, red mole, ripe red lips, and curvy figure all give people a feeling of being too gorgeous to be a little tacky.
Her skin was delicate and her eyes were exceptionally indifferent, like a spoiled young lady, delicate and cold. Her eyes passed by like a dragonfly skimming the water, not heavy but splashing layer upon layer of ripples.
The evening light was dim, and Violet's jewelry became even more vibrant. Only she could pull off this color.
Liang Yushan's usually cold face was particularly gentle today. He smiled and said to Ye Rou, "I'll take you to meet some people."
"Okay." Ye Rou answered casually.
Her attention was diverted by the sudden melon-eating alarm in her head.
Ding Ding Ding Ding
As soon as Ye Rou entered the Chi family, the melon-eating alarm sounded.
She followed Liang Yushan into the house.
Chi Tong took two quick steps forward and came forward to greet Liang Yushan.
"Commander Liang, you're here."
"Yes." Liang Yushan introduced Ye Rou as "Chi Tong, the political commissar of the military region."
"Uncle Chi." Ye Rou looked at the middle-aged man in front of her. He was thin, and his eyes and expression were exactly as cold as Meng Chunping's. They were indeed a couple.
Chi Tong nodded and waved, signaling Chi Liu behind him to come forward.
"This is my daughter Chi Liu."
Chi Liu didn't like Ye Rou, but because her father was here, she reluctantly greeted him, "Commander Liang, Ye Rou, hello."
Liang Yushan naturally knew about her little thoughts. His face was as dark as if dark clouds had covered the sun.
Ye Rou didn't care about Chi Liu's attitude. She was looking for Chi Keke and Meng Chunping.
