When Yan Yue received Lu Lingxi's call, he was attending the Spring Festival dinner hosted by the Ye family out of boredom.
The Spring Festival Gala is a tradition in the upper class circles of Zhongjing. It is held in the first month of each year and hosted by different families each time. This year, it happened to be the Ye family. Old Master Ye waved his hand and threw the matter to his grandsons. Ye Kang saw that the situation was not right and immediately pretended to be sick to avoid the task. In his words, he did not intend to show his presence in front of the old man. Whoever is willing to do this hard work can do it.
In order to facilitate communication among the crowd, the dinner was held in a self-service format. Not long after the opening, Ye Kang found Yan Yue. There were many people around Yan Yue who greeted him, and he seemed quite popular. Although everyone present knew that Yan Yue had temporarily left Hepu, no one was stupid enough to stand in line and bet now before everything was settled. Across the crowd, Ye Kang raised his eyebrows at Yan Yue, indicating that he had already made arrangements. Yan Yue showed an expression of understanding.
The two of them quietly got rid of the people around them and stood together. Ye Kang looked around the field and smiled in a low voice, "Is it Yan Hai who is circling around Sister Li?"
Yan Yue glanced at it indifferently and hummed indifferently.
"He is quite good at seizing opportunities." Ye Kang said meaningfully. Many people have heard the rumor about the marriage between Yin and Lu. Yan Hai seems to be anxious, but Yan Shihui may have his own ideas. "Do you want to give him a push from behind?" Ye Kang looked at Yan Yue with great interest.
Yan Yue was about to speak when his phone suddenly vibrated. The familiar name on the caller ID softened Yan Yue's eyes. He said something to Ye Kang in a hurry, then walked to a corner of the hall with his phone. There was no one around and it was quite deserted, perfect for answering the phone.
"Xiaoxi."
"Brother Yan." Lu Lingxi's voice was soft and soft, and even through the phone, it carried a hint of laziness from having eaten and drunk enough. "Have you eaten?"
Yan Yue chuckled and said softly, "I've eaten, and I ate quite a lot." He actually didn't have much appetite at night, so he just ate a little in a hurry. But in order to avoid Lu Lingxi worrying, Yan Yue would occasionally tell a white lie.
Lu Lingxi had no doubts, and told Yan Yue everything that happened today in detail without waiting for him to ask. The appearance of the little green snake, Xiao Hei's bravery, and his confession to Fang Lei to some extent. Yan Yue felt a little uncomfortable, especially when he heard that Lu Lingxi was almost framed for harboring drugs, his face became even uglier. "Do you know who they are?"
"It seems to be someone who fought with me before." Lu Lingxi said with a guilty conscience, and immediately changed the subject, "I didn't know Xiao Hei was so powerful. It can actually eat poisonous snakes."
Yan Yue knew what Lu Lingxi was avoiding, so he didn't ask any further questions. Speaking of Xiao Hei, his heart moved. He had searched the Internet for a long time before but couldn't find the species of Xiao Hei. However, if Xiao Hei feeds on venomous snakes, it would be somewhat similar to the description of the king cobra. This kind of snake itself is not venomous, but it is naturally immune to all snake venoms, and its favorite food is all kinds of venomous snakes. He did look up the information of the king cobra at that time, but there was basically no king cobra like Xiao Hei that was completely black, with no spots or rings of color, and the shape was not very similar. Could it be a mutant king cobra?
The thought flashed through his mind, and Yan Yue complimented Xiao Hei a few times, and then he heard Lu Lingxi on the other side seem to turn on the speaker, and Xiao Hei's hissing voice rang out. Yan Yue laughed and had to praise him a few more times. Xiao Hei excitedly wrapped his handset around the other end of the phone, shook his tail vigorously, and hissed.
Lu Lingxi knelt down on the bed and poked Xiao Hei's head with a smile. Xiao Hei had really been with Da Hei for a long time, and even the way they swung their tails was exactly the same. "By the way, Brother Yan..." Lu Lingxi was about to say something when the background noise from Yan Yue's side suddenly became noisy, as if someone was exclaiming. "What's wrong?" He asked worriedly.
"It's okay, it seems someone had an accident." Yan Yue slowed down his voice and soothed.
At the entrance of the hall, Yin Ya's clothes were half soaked, and she leaned on Lu Weian's arms with her curves exposed. She looked around with a frightened expression, and her face was pitiful. Yan Yue glanced at her casually and curled the corners of his mouth. Ye Kang noticed his gaze and raised his glass to Yan Yue from a distance. Yan Yue raised his eyebrows and smiled, and ignored the other side. His goal has been achieved. Whether Yin Ya can seize this opportunity depends on herself. Slightly restraining his mind, Yan Yue's attention returned to the phone.
Lu Lingxi was not very curious about what happened to Yan Yue. He just ignored Yan Yue's words. After talking about Xiao Hei, Lu Lingxi mentioned Fang Lei again. Yan Yue felt a little jealous. Xiaoxi mentioned Fang Lei too often that night.
Ye Kang didn't come over until Yan Yue hung up the phone. He exaggeratedly brought a glass of water to Yan Yue and said in a sly tone, "Do you need to moisten your throat?"
Yan Yue chuckled, took the water and drank a sip without hesitation, and commented: "Good service."
Ye Kang glared at him in feigned anger, then said with a little pride: "How is it? Is the person I arranged reliable?"
Yan Yue nodded. Ye Kang's arrangement was quite good. No matter how he brought Yin Ya and Lu Weian together, what everyone saw now was Yin Ya, who was soaking wet and held in Lu Weian's arms. Considering the rumors of the marriage between the Yin and Lu families, as long as he made a little more effort, he could be regarded as helping Yin Ya achieve her wish. Thinking of this, Yan Yue found his father through the crowd. His father's expression looked okay, but Yan Hai on the other side couldn't hide his expression, and there was a hint of impatience.
"Yan Hai is anxious." Ye Kang followed Yan Yue's line of sight and said in a low voice.
Yan Yue looked at Yan Hai nonchalantly, then looked away indifferently, saying, "Father is getting anxious too."
No matter whether he or Yin Ya will marry into the Lu family, it means that the Lu family will have an excuse to intervene in the competition for Hepu. Old Leaf Lu is not as easy to talk to as Grandpa. Grandpa has too many concerns and his lifeline is strangled by his father, so he can only oppose his father in small ways. But Grandpa Lu has no concerns. He can't wait to see the Lu family take action. Yan Yue thought happily, and he didn't know whether he or Yin Ya would marry into the Lu family, which would make his father feel more upset.
With this piece of gossip, the rest of the time didn't seem so hard to endure. When the dinner was about to end, Yan Yue met Grandpa, and Yin Ya was not with Grandpa. Tonight, Yin Ya came with Grandpa in the name of the Yin family. If something happened to Yin Ya, Grandpa would definitely have to deal with it, but he didn't know what agreement the Yin family and the Lu family had reached.
Yin Yongde seemed to feel a little guilty towards Yan Yue, "Ayue, Xiaoya..."
The old man was thinking that Yan Yue could marry into the Lu family in exchange for the Lu family's support. He even made an agreement with the old man of the Lu family to let the children meet formally today, and if they were interested, they would get engaged as soon as possible. But before he could find Yan Yue, Yin Ya made a move and completely disrupted his plan. Yin Yongde was very angry, but he couldn't bear to be cruel to Yin Ya. He suspected that what happened before was not an accident but Yin Ya's calculation, but he couldn't tell anyone about his suspicion. He felt aggrieved and felt sorry for Yan Yue.
Yin Yongde wanted to suppress this matter. There are many new things in this circle. As long as Yin Ya keeps a low profile for a while, no one will mention this matter again. Even if the marriage between Yin and Lu fails, he will never agree to Xiaoya marrying a sickly person who may have problems at any time. Regardless of Yin Ya's calculation or his intention to give up the marriage between Yin and Lu, Yin Yongde thinks that Yan Yue is the most innocent person in this. But Yin Ya is also his granddaughter, what can he do? Yin Yongde looked at Yan Yue in embarrassment and was speechless for a long time.
Yan Yue raised his lips slightly, with a standard smile, showing no dissatisfaction at all. He seemed to have no idea what Yin Yongde wanted to say, and asked calmly, "Did mother go home first?"
Yin Yongde smiled bitterly, "Your mother sent Xiaoya back home. I'm afraid tonight..."
"I know." Yan Yue interrupted Yin Yongde politely, "Father has already said that he will not be home tonight. I have asked my assistant to book a flight for 7 o'clock tomorrow, and we will leave Zhongjing early in the morning. The butler will deliver mother's luggage. Is there anything else, Grandpa?"
He said it calmly, but Yin Yongde was shocked, "Ayue, you want to leave in such a hurry?"
Yan Yue smiled and hummed, and pushed Ye Kang out very smoothly. A Kang helped me contact a psychologist, who was very tight on time and needed my cooperation.
Yin Yongde didn't quite believe what Yan Yue said, but he looked at Yan Yue, then glanced at Ye Kang not far away, sighed silently, and said nothing more.
Yan Yue lowered his eyes slightly, unconsciously stroking the wine glass in his hand, and also did not speak again.
He understood his grandfather's thoughts, but this was the biggest disagreement between him and his grandfather. Just like he couldn't trust his father, he couldn't trust his grandfather wholeheartedly. Even though his grandfather had always supported him in the inheritance of Hepu, and even showed a tendency to favor him. But he knew very well that in his grandfather's eyes, he and Yin Ya were both his mother's children, and they were actually the same. The reason why his grandfather favored him was just because he felt guilty for his mother's indifference to him. In essence, the way his grandfather looked at him and Yin Ya was no different from the way his father looked at him and Yan Hai.
