Chapter 671 Kissing and Kissing
There were fewer people gathered on the side away from the center of the banquet hall, but almost everyone was immersed in the joyful atmosphere.
Xia Shumei called Li Chuyue, who was standing quietly aside, to her side and introduced her to her best friend Ying Muyun in a boastful tone.
Amidst Xia Shumei's teasing and Ying Muyun's laughter, Li Chuyue shyly joined the conversation.
At this time, Ying Muyun heard that Xia Shumei wanted to show off again, and looked alert again.
She rolled her eyes at Xia Shumei, held Li Chuyue's hand but refused to let go, and said:
"Tsk! Yes, yes, yes! Seeing how much you like it, I won't snatch it from you! Okay!"
Suddenly, she saw Xu Zhishan chatting with her son out of the corner of her eye, and she liked her more and more.
So she immediately retracted her eye-rolling expression and let go of Li Chuyue's hand.
Then, she smiled flatteringly at Xia Shumei beside her, with a hint of coquettishness in her tone, and whispered:
"But! Shumei, Miss Xia~ I think Shanshan is pretty good, so can you help me match Xiaoqi and Shanshan~
Please also say hello to Shuying for me and see if our two families can have a meal together and chat with each other.
And if your sister and I become relatives, wouldn't that make us even closer? What do you think? Do you agree to help me with this?"
Xia Shumei seemed to have expected Ying Muyun to come and beg her, but she really couldn't make the decision for the children now.
So, she glanced at Xu Zhishan and Lu Muqi, then turned to look at Li Chuyue who was smirking beside her, and whispered:
"Shuying, I can say something good about Xiaoqi at any time.
But after that it depends on what Shanshan means and whether she is willing for us to interfere in her emotional affairs.
Chu Yue, you and Shanshan are good friends. Do you know if Shanshan has a boyfriend or a guy she likes now? "
At this time, Li Chuyue was still sighing that Ou Jinghuan's mother liked her so much and was so happy to introduce her to her good friend.
While she felt happy, she was also particularly grateful to Ou Jinghuan's mother for recognizing her.
But she never expected that the conversation between Ou Jinghuan's mother and her best friend would lead to her.
At this time, Li Chuyue faced the questioning of Xia Shumei who liked her. She didn't know whether to keep it a secret for Xu Zhishan or tell Xia Shumei.
In the end, Li Chuyue still kept Shanshan's secret and chose a way to not reveal her privacy, and replied:
“Well…as far as I know, Shanshan doesn’t have a boyfriend now.
Whether she has someone she likes...I don't know about that either. How about asking Shanshan alone?"
Upon hearing this, Ying Muyun became excited all of a sudden, but she was worried about being discovered by Xu Zhishan and Lu Muqi.
So, she suppressed her excitement, looked particularly confident, lowered her voice, and said with a happy smile:
"It's okay! As long as I don't have a boyfriend!
If Shanshan has someone she likes, the worst that can happen is that she can let Xiaoqi compete for him. That guy can seduce women with just his mouth.
When it comes to pleasing girls, I am very confident in my son and I will definitely make Shanshan my daughter-in-law!
Hahaha, if you succeed, I will give you all a big red envelope! Hahaha."
Xia Shumei saw that Ying Muyun seemed to have anticipated that she would become Xu Zhishan's mother-in-law in the future, so she hesitated to speak.
Because she noticed the tone and expression in Chu Yue's last sentence, which clearly meant that it was inconvenient to tell her.
Combined with what she had accidentally heard earlier about Shanshan being in a bad mood, she boldly guessed that Shanshan might still be in unrequited love.
At this time, Xia Shumei saw that Ying Muyun was particularly confident that Lu Muqi would win the competition, so she didn't say anything else.
When Li Chuyue saw that her godmother was particularly happy and confident, she really wanted to tell her.
In this competition that hasn't even started yet, the probability of Lu Muqi winning is actually not high.
Because Shanshan likes Su Chenyi, who is very handsome, and is also an ascetic, charming man who can especially attract girls.
So, Li Chuyue looked at Ying Muyun who had proposed her idea. She asked with a hint of hesitation in her tone:
"Godmother, why don't you ask your son if he likes it first?
If the boy doesn't like it, then what we just talked about is meaningless, isn't it? "
"Oh, that's right!" Upon hearing this, Ying Muyun was stunned for a moment, then she suddenly clapped her hands as if she suddenly realized something.
Then, she laughed awkwardly, but soon she raised her fist with a determined look and said:
"Maybe I was too anxious, so I forgot to ask that kid what he thought, hahaha!
I'll ask him later, but if he doesn't like it, I'll drag him around the banquet hall today.
I don't believe that there wasn't a single girl he had a crush on at the Ou family's biggest party! "
Seeing this, Li Chuyue and Xia Shumei were frightened by the raging fire in Ying Muyun's eyes, and they were worried about Lu Muqi.
Xu Zhishan and Lu Muqi were still chatting when suddenly Lu Muqi felt a chill on his back.
But he didn't dare to look back, because he could already feel the sharp gaze from his mother, as if she could see through his back.
So, he turned slightly sideways, completely facing away from Ying Muyun, and continued talking to Xu Zhishan.
Just as Xu Zhishan and Lu Muqi were chatting, and Li Chuyue joined in the chat between Xia Shumei and Ying Muyun, one person was completely ignored.
Xie Ruxue, who had heard very important information earlier, remained frozen in place with her mouth wide open, as if she had been struck by lightning.
She seriously doubted whether she had heard it wrong. Why would the old woman whom she had just complained about say that Brother Jing Huan was her son?
Why is it that among the four major families, Mrs. Lu, who is said to have the worst temper and is the most difficult to approach, is so close to that old woman and Li Chuyue?
According to what Xie Ruxue learned, the Lu Santai in front of her was a military man, and besides having a bad temper, he was also very good at fighting.
When she was a child, she happened to see Mrs. Lu at a banquet, teaching a servant who had stolen something a lesson.
At that time, Lu Santai grabbed the thief and threw him to the ground with a back throw, knocking the arrogant thief to the ground.
Xie Ruxue did not feel that Lu Santai was a heroic figure, but instead began to be afraid of Lu Santai.
Because she was holding a necklace that did not belong to her, she couldn't stop shaking, afraid that she would be beaten by Lu Santai too.
At that time, Ying Muyun cast a shadow on Xie Ruxue, causing her to be afraid to touch other people's things for a long time.
At this time, Xie Ruxue saw Lu Santai, whom she was particularly afraid of when she was a child, talking and laughing with Li Chuyue and the old woman.
She was shocked and began to suspect that the old woman she had just complained about was really Jing Huan's crazy mother.
At this moment, Xie Ruxue had questions one after another spinning around in her mind frantically.
But she had never met Ou Jinghuan's mother, so she really couldn't be sure whether she had really offended her future mother-in-law.
She wanted to go up and ask, but what she had said before, plus the presence of Mrs. Lu, made her afraid to ask.
In the end, Xie Ruxue didn't know whether she was afraid to go in front of Mrs. Lu or was afraid to find out that she had really offended her future mother-in-law.
She had originally planned to provoke Li Chuyue and Xu Zhishan and then turn around and leave, but now she turned around stiffly.
Then, her thighs moved uncoordinatedly, as if they were machine parts that had been used for a long time, were rusty, and had not been oiled.
Finally, Xie Ruxue, like a robot, quickened her pace with a "squeaky" sound until she started to jog.
As she jogged, she raised her hands to hold up the dress that was falling down.
After a while, Xie Ruxue walked through the crowd and trotted to her mother Ye Yanzhi and aunt Ye Yingran.
Ye Yanzhi glanced sideways and saw Xie Ruxue coming back breathless. She frowned and said unhappily:
"Where have you been? Didn't you say you'd come back after saying hello to your acquaintances? What took you so long?
And have you lost all your ladylike image? What did I say to you before? Now you've completely forgotten it!
Okay! You stay by my side now and don’t go anywhere else! "
As soon as Ye Yanzhi saw Xie Ruxue, he habitually questioned and blamed her.
She then did not give Xie Ruxue any chance to explain and gave her orders in a very forceful manner.
Xie Ruxue seemed to be used to it. She followed Ye Yanzhi's arrangements like a robot and stood obediently by his side.
