Chapter 171 Engagement Banquet
Three days later, Dongda Hotel.
It is a five-star hotel in Lincheng second only to Jufuzhuang.
However, today the entire hotel was booked down, with three layers inside and three layers outside, crowded and very lively.
There are all kinds of festive decorations at the entrance of the hotel, and countless well-trained welcome ladies stood at the door, smiling enthusiastically to welcome the guests.
Today is Ye Wen’s engagement day.
Ye Ming and Yang Hui, dressed in formal clothes, stood at the door and greeted passers-by enthusiastically. In the hotel, Ye Wen was wearing a white dress and her right hand wearing white silk gloves gently supported a young man.
The young man was wearing a famous brand suit and handsome facial features. He held Ye Wen and kept smiling and paying tribute to the guests around him.
Compared to his smile, Ye Wen seemed a lot colder. Her beautiful eyes looked outside the hotel from time to time. After finding that there was no one she wanted to wait for among the people she wanted to wait for, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
The young man noticed her strangeness and couldn't help but whisper: "What are you looking at?"
"nothing."
Ye Wen shook her head and sighed secretly. It seemed that my cousin would not come back today.
The young man looked at the crowd slightly, frowned and said, "Your cousin's family hasn't come yet?"
"Maybe something is wrong." Ye Wen smiled.
"Is there something wrong?"
The young man's face couldn't help but sink.
After all, Xu Zhong is the son of the director of the Management Committee and runs a real estate company. He can be regarded as a celebrity in Lincheng.
The news of the engagement was released.
Countless business celebrities came early, even his father Xu Yuanhong's friends in politics came here to sit down. But a poor relative of the Ye family didn't come for a long time. Is he trying to slap him in the face?
Xu Zhong snorted coldly, left Ye Wen and walked to his father Xu Yuanhong's table to toast.
...
Hotel entrance.
Seeing that the guests were almost all here, Yang Hui looked at the time and looked at Ye Ming with a cold look: "Look at your good brother, you haven't come yet. I really think their family is a big shot, playing the game that they played the last appearance."
"It must be something."
Ye Ming shook his head helplessly, took out his cell phone and said, "Why, I'll call and ask?"
A faint laugh came.
"No need to beat me, Second Uncle, we are here."
Yang Hui and Ye Ming looked up and saw Ye Chen walking in front with his daughter Mengmeng holding him, while Ye Hai and Wu Lan followed behind. The group was dressed quite formally, but they were not very eye-catching.
As soon as he saw Ye Chen and his family coming empty-handed, Yang Hui's face completely sank. Others were carrying various gifts, both home appliances and sofas. You guys, they were empty-handed.
"Uncle Second, I'm really embarrassed. I encountered a situation halfway through, so I came late." Ye Chen walked to Ye Ming and smiled apologetically.
"fine."
Ye Ming waved his hand and hurriedly walked to Ye Hai and smiled, "Brother, sister-in-law, since you are here, go in and sit down."
"Second brother, congratulations, your Wenwen has finally found her own happiness, we are all old." Ye Hai sighed and said that he was about to follow Ye Ming in.
At this time, Yang Hui suddenly said, "Wait, you came by taking a taxi? Why don't others get stuck, just you get stuck?"
"It was a friend of Xiaochen who drove me here. The car broke down halfway." Wu Lan couldn't help but say.
Yang Hui smiled: "Then why don't you call us? Maybe we will let Xu Zhong drive his Mercedes-Benz to pick you up."
She said the word Mercedes-Benz very loudly, as if Ye Chen and others couldn't hear it.
"Okay, just say less." Ye Ming couldn't hear the show off in his wife's words, and glared at her with a serious face.
Yang Hui turned a blind eye and said, "Since they are all their own family members, I will explain the words. Almost all those present today are Xu Zhong's business friends and in-laws, who are either rich or noble, so when I go in, try to talk less and eat more."
Ye Chen frowned.
Wu Lan's face turned angry, as if she was trying to say something, but Ye Hai pulled the corner of her clothes. Ye Hai said unnaturally: "Brother and sister, we understand."
Yang Hui snorted coldly and walked in first.
Ye Ming looked embarrassed: "Brother, Yang Hui has this temper. Don't take it to heart. Let's go in."
Under his leadership, the group of people walked into the hotel. Ye Hai lowered his voice and asked, "Xiaochen, your second aunt probably saw that we didn't bring any gifts, so she was a little unhappy. Didn't you say you prepared a gift? Where is it?"
"It's still on the road." Ye Chen said.
...
The hotel is already full of people.
As Ye Chen and his group entered, countless gazes were all on them, with different figures in their eyes, but more were sneering and contempt.
Ye Wen, who was listening to Xu Zhong’s mother’s teachings on the third floor, suddenly lit up his beautiful eyes. He quickly walked to the first floor in front of everyone and met him: “Brother, you are here.”
Ye Chen nodded.
Ye Hai and Wu Lan smiled sincerely and said, "Wenwen, congratulations, let your father hug his grandson as soon as possible."
"Uncle, aunt, thank you." Ye Wen smiled shyly and lowered her head embarrassedly.
Yang Hui said angrily: "Okay, Wenwen, if you don't accompany your future mother-in-law, what are you going to do? Go quickly and don't let others say you are uneducated."
"Mom, I want to talk to my cousin and the others."
Ye Wen hesitated a little.
Yang Hui was furious: "You..."
"Okay, today is a happy day. Don't be surprised and make people laugh." Ye Ming frowned.
Ye Wen nodded slightly, gave Ye Chen an apologetic smile, and turned around and was about to go upstairs.
"Brother, let's go up and introduce some people to you by the way." Ye Ming smiled and took the initiative to walk in front.
After the group went up to the third floor, they saw a table on the third floor, and about seven or eight people sat in front of the table.
In the middle is a middle-aged woman. The man has a national face and is arrogant without anger. The woman is extremely luxurious and well maintained, looking like she is thirty years old.
"Brother, let me introduce you to you. This is the director of the Management Committee, Xu Yuanhong, this is Xu Zhong..." Ye Ming introduced Xu Zhong and others to each other.
When he heard that Xu Yuanhong was the director of the Development Zone Management Committee, Ye Hai hurriedly and took the initiative to reach out: "Director Xu, I have seen you on TV a long time ago, but I didn't expect that our Ye and Xu families would come together."
Faced with Ye Chen's politeness, Xu Yuanhong frowned and whispered: "I don't have the habit of shaking hands with others."
The smile on Ye Hai's face suddenly froze.
For a moment.
The air is a little dull.
A sneer appeared on the corner of Xu Zhong's mouth, and Yang Hui pretended not to see it. The middle-aged woman sitting next to Xu Yuanhong looked at Ye Chen's family with a hint of disdain.
Ye Wen's pretty face changed slightly.
Ye Ming's face suddenly sank and he looked at Xu Yuanhong with some displeasure, even if this person was his boss, he was his future in-laws.
(ps: Chapter 3, I encountered something delayed, and the fourth chapter is being written, I am really embarrassed.)
Chapter completed!
