Chapter 77 Chapter 77 Not a Blind Date
On the second day of the New Year, Ye Anyu curled up in Lu Mingzhou's arms. It was a rare moment of leisure, so Ye Anyu planned to take Lu Mingzhou to have a good sleep. Just as she pushed Lu Mingzhou back to bed when he wanted to get up, the phone rang suddenly.
It couldn't be her phone ringing at this time. Just as Lu Mingzhou answered the call, Mu Tianhe's voice suddenly rang out: "Mingzhou, don't forget the party today!"
"Party?" This surprised Ye Anyu a little. She always thought that Lu Mingzhou was aloof and would never attend a party with ordinary people.
"My sister-in-law is here too, come along!" Before Lu Mingzhou could speak, Mu Tianhe had already sent out the invitation.
"I've sent you the address. See you later!" Mu Tianhe hung up the phone before either of them could refuse.
Ye Anyu was a little confused for a moment. She asked, "Brother, what party?"
Lu Mingzhou has a very quiet personality and doesn't have many friends other than Mu Tianhe. Many people think so, but in fact, Lu Mingzhou does have a few friends with whom he has a pretty good relationship. They get together every holiday.
As soon as the phone was hung up, someone beside Mu Tianhe exclaimed, "What! My sister-in-law is coming too!"
"What sister-in-law? That's your sister-in-law." Mu Tianhe said with a smile.
He Jianian grinned and said, "Yes, it's my sister-in-law. I'm so excited. This is the first time Brother Lu has brought his sister-in-law to dinner!"
Luo Ming teased, "Oh, this is strange. Mingzhou actually wants to bring his sister-in-law along. He hasn't agreed to this even after being asked eight hundred times in previous years."
As the only person present who knew the inside story, Mu Tianhe said with a grin, "Who knows? Why don't you just ask Mingzhou when he gets here? But I know you definitely don't dare ask Mingzhou. You could also ask your sister-in-law. Don't you know her?"
As soon as he said this, the memory of the death suddenly came back to him. When the daughter of the Wu family was getting engaged, he not only fell in love with his own brother's wife, but also went to chat with her. Finally, Lu Mingzhou came, and the result can be imagined.
He glared at Mu Tianhe in anger, with a threatening look in his eyes: If you tell me what happened before, I will beat you up!
Mu Tianhe smiled and was about to change the subject when the door to the box opened. Tan Yongyan, wearing a black coat, walked in slowly, bringing a cold breeze. He smiled modestly and said, "Sorry, I'm late."
When He Jianian saw someone coming, he quickly stepped forward and said happily, "Brother Tan, you're here!"
Mu Tianhe stood up, half-armed the visitor's shoulders, and as he ushered him to his seat, he teased, "Professor Tan, I haven't seen you for half a year. You've become lighter."
Luo Ming was about to change the subject, so he took this opportunity and said, "Yes, you look younger since you started dating."
When He Jianian heard this, he immediately started gossiping and told him the news just now, "Brother Tan, why don't you bring your sister-in-law here? Brother Lu has already brought her here."
Hearing this, a hint of surprise finally appeared on Tan Yongyan's smiling face, and he said, "Brother Lu is bringing his sister-in-law over?"
He Jianian immediately responded: "Yes, I just called and told you that."
Tan Yongyan: "Did Brother Lu say that himself?"
He Jianian said awkwardly, "Not really." Lu Mingzhou didn't say a word the whole time. All the words were said by Mu Tianhe. He continued, "But Brother Lu didn't refuse!" Not refusing means agreeing.
Tan Yongyan believed it a little bit. Based on his understanding of Lu Mingzhou, he would have refused on the spot if he disagreed.
Seeing that Tan Yongyan didn't answer his question, He Jianian continued to ask, "Brother Tan, why didn't your sister-in-law come with you?"
When mentioning his girlfriend, the smile on Tan Yongyan's face became more intense. He said, "Xia Xia has returned to her hometown."
The others began to make a noise: "I didn't expect our Professor Tan to have such a side to him!"
"Then why doesn't Brother Tan go to his girlfriend's place?"
Professor Tan, who usually remained calm even in the face of a catastrophe, tugged at his coat awkwardly and said, "I'll be there tomorrow."
"oh!"
…
After Ye Anyu learned that it was a dinner party for Lu Mingzhou's friends, she felt a little excited but also a little nervous. She took out several sets of clothes from the closet and tried them on, saying, "Brother, what do you think of this one?"
"nice."
"What about this set?"
"good."
"What about this set?"
...Lu Mingzhou stared at Ye Anyu in the mirror with a sullen face, and said with obvious dissatisfaction: "We are not going on a blind date."
Ye Anyu said: "I know."
Lu Mingzhou grabbed her and said, "So there's no need to dress up so nicely."
Ye Anyu looked at Lu Mingzhou's frowning face in the mirror and couldn't help laughing. Is Lu Mingzhou jealous?
Lu Mingzhou thought for a moment and said, "Why not just go?"
Ye Anyu said: "How can that be possible? I have already promised President Mu."
Lu Mingzhou rested his chin on her shoulder and said jealously, "I didn't agree." He clearly didn't say anything.
Ye Anyu laughed. After all, she was going to meet his friends. Besides, she didn't dress up or put on much makeup.
An hour later, the two finally arrived at the address given by Mu Tianhe, an entertainment venue.
In the chess and card room, He Jianian, who likes to play mahjong, was absent-minded at this time. He was swiping the mahjong in his hand, but his eyes glanced towards the door.
"Jianian, if you continue to be so absent-minded, you will lose again." He hasn't won once today.
Hearing this, He Jianian still didn't care. He said, "Why hasn't Brother Lu come over yet?"
Mu Tianhe said: "It's good that he can come. How could you expect him to come so early?" In previous years, he always arrived at dinner time.
He Jianian said: "That's different. I'm going to bring my sister-in-law here today. He doesn't like to go out and play, but my sister-in-law must like to go out and play."
Mu Tianhe thought about Ye Anyu for a moment and said, "That's not necessarily true."
He Jianian asked hurriedly: "Brother Mu, have you met my sister-in-law?"
Mu Tianhe glanced at Luo Ming and teased, "Your brother Luo has seen it too."
Luo Ming said he didn't want to talk.
The calmest person at this moment was Tan Yongyan. He said, "It's coming when it's supposed to."
Before he finished speaking, the door suddenly opened, "Here he comes!" He Jianian stood up excitedly and stretched his head to look at the door.
What? The only person who came was Brother Lu. Lu Mingzhou was dressed casually today, wearing a white turtleneck sweater inside, a long gray wool coat outside, black trousers underneath, and a pair of gray casual shoes on his feet, which was very different from his usual style.
He Jianian was obviously disappointed. He said, "Brother Mu, you lied..." Before he could finish his words, he was blocked in his mouth.
"Come in." Lu Mingzhou stretched out his right hand, and through the half-open door, a slender, white, and bony little hand slowly reached his hand. The next second, Ye Anyu appeared in front of everyone.
She just nodded slightly to greet everyone, a strand of shiny black and smooth hair slid down, she stretched out her empty hand, and when she raised her eyes, a bright and pink face appeared in front of everyone. Her eyes were gentle, like stars, and when she smiled to greet, the dimples on her cheeks were faintly visible.
She wore a black sweater inside, a pink coat outside, white pants on the bottom, and a pair of white sneakers on her feet. She and Lu Mingzhou looked very well matched standing together.
He Jianian sighed for a moment, no wonder Brother Lu didn't bring his sister-in-law out for them to meet. Which man wouldn't like a sister-in-law like this?
Mu Tianhe knew about their relationship and had met Ye Anyu several times, but when the two of them stood in front of him wearing couple outfits, he was still a little shocked. However, he quickly reacted and welcomed them in.
The others also gradually reacted and came over. Mu Tianhe was the first to greet them: "Sister-in-law, Happy New Year!"
Ye Anyu politely responded: "Mr. Mu, Happy New Year!"
President Mu smiled and said, "We're not in the company, why call me President Mu? Just call me Brother Mu like Mingzhou does."
Ye Anyu frowned in confusion. She seemed to have never heard Lu Mingzhou call "Brother Mu" before.
He Jianian immediately said, "Brother Mu, Brother Tan and I are the only ones here who call you brother. I've never heard Brother Lu call you brother."
Mu Tianhe instantly exploded, rolled his eyes at Lu Mingzhou, and said, "I'm the oldest among us, so of course you should call me Brother Mu."
After a little joke, He Jianian quickly introduced himself, "Hello, sister-in-law, I am He Jianian, and Brother Lu's good brother!" Then he stretched out his right hand.
Ye Anyu responded politely, "Hello, I'm Ye Anyu."
Ye Anyu's voice was also very pleasant. He Jianian was so shocked that he forgot to let go. Lu Mingzhou slapped his hand away and said lightly, "That's enough."
Everyone burst into laughter. They never expected that one day they would see Lu Mingzhou jealous.
The next one was Tan Yongyan. He said very gently, "Sister-in-law, hello, Tan Yongyan." Then the two of them touched their fingertips and then parted.
Luo Ming made a mistake last time, so it should be a bit awkward to meet her again this time. However, he was thick-skinned. Far from being embarrassed, he even said with a smile: "Hello, sister-in-law, I am Luo Ming. We have met before."
Having seen him before, Ye Anyu didn't react for a moment. After hesitating for a few seconds, she finally remembered that it seemed to be at Wu Yao's engagement party. At that time, there was a lot of tension between him and Lu Mingzhou. She originally thought that they didn't know each other, but she didn't expect that the two were actually friends.
Ye Anyu glanced at Lu Mingzhou, his expression did not change. Maybe it was just a misunderstanding last time. Luo Ming probably didn't know about her relationship with Lu Mingzhou, not to mention that they were preparing for divorce at that time.
Ye Anyu smiled slightly: "Hello."
But when she stretched out her hand to shake hands with Luo Ming, Lu Mingzhou put his arm around her shoulders, walked to the sofa and helped her sit down.
Mu Tianhe couldn't help laughing out loud. Luo Ming puffed up his cheeks and spread his hands helplessly. He didn't know at the time. If he had known at the time, he would not have done that.
He Jianian and Tan Yongyan had only seen the photo once in the group and had no impression of it, so naturally they didn't know what had happened. He Jianian looked at Mu Tianhe with a puzzled expression, while Tan Yongyan was not interested. He walked past him to the table and handed two drinks to the two of them.
Mu Tianhe looked at the time and said, "There's still some time before lunch. Do you want to join us and play?" He pointed to the mahjong table.
Lu Mingzhou wanted to shake his head. He had never been interested in these things and didn't play them. But when he turned his head, Ye Anyu looked at him expectantly. It was obvious that she wanted to play.
Lu Mingzhou hummed and said, "An Yu, can you play?"
Ye Anyu nodded first, then shook his head and said, "I'm not very good at it. How about you play a few games first, brother?"
"I……"
"Brother must be very powerful."
"I'll try." Lu Mingzhou gritted his teeth and sat down at the mahjong table amid her praise and expectations.
After playing three games and losing all three, Lu Mingzhou's face drooped to the ground amid the laughter of Mu Tianhe and Luo Ming and the surprise of He Jianian.
It turns out that her brother also has things he is not good at. Ye Anyu couldn't help laughing out loud. Lu Mingzhou bit his lip and looked at her aggrievedly. Ye Anyu patted him on the back and said, "Brother, it's amazing that you can play like this for the first time."
Obviously, Ye Anyu's comfort worked, and Lu Mingzhou's complexion looked a little better.
Ye Anyu said: "Brother, do you want me to try?"
Hearing this, He Jianian was the first to jump out and said, "Okay, okay, Brother Lu is really too weak, let sister-in-law come." It was the first time that Ye Anyu heard the words Lu Mingzhou was weak from someone else's mouth, and he was also surprised.
Lu Mingzhou gave up his position, Ye Anyu took over, and a new round began.
Before the game started, Mu Tianhe said, "Sister-in-law, you better be careful."
He Jianian agreed: "Yes, I am very good, even Brother Lu lost to me."
When the three games were over, He Jianian shrugged his face and realized that one should not be too complacent.
