Xuanye did not leave, however. He frowned slightly and looked at the people walking out in twos and threes with an inexplicable expression.
"Aye, I just asked the master about your little black face..." Under the other party's glare, Deng Rui coughed and reluctantly changed his words, "The surnamed Zhang was taken away by Mr. Qin."
Xuanye frowned even more tightly and glared at the person half leaning on him, with unconcealable disgust in his eyes.
If it weren't for this person, would he have lost Zhang Xiao?
Thinking of what she saw on the balcony again, Xuanye really felt that she had brought Zhang Xiao to the wrong place today.
"Why didn't Ji Qinglan come?"
Even though she was feeling extremely frustrated in her heart, Xuanye still spoke calmly.
Remembering the original intention of coming today, his eyes flashed, and he reached out to grab the other person's wrist that was on his shoulder.
"That person must have been held back by his boy..."
Deng Rui suddenly stopped speaking. He narrowed his eyes slightly and followed the other person's line of sight. A middle-aged man wearing a royal blue Tang suit was coming from the door.
Curving the corners of her lips, she glanced at the person who was half-crouching on her body, and said in a brisk tone: "It seems that I was delayed. I came a little late."
He retracted his hand without leaving a trace, without even looking at the new bruise on his hand. He turned to the side and walked forward quickly.
Deng Rui straightened up. The smile he had been unable to hold back since meeting Xuan Ye was now gone. He watched the other party gradually walk away and greeted the person who came in. His left hand unconsciously grasped the wrist of his right hand.
Then he didn't know what he thought of. He let go of his hand, shook his right hand lightly without leaving any trace, smoothed his wrinkled brows, and walked slowly towards the two people who were talking.
"Uncle, I haven't seen you in the past few years. Your figure... tsk tsk, you actually compare with us juniors." He put his right hand on Xuanye's shoulder, and a small piece of blue and purple was exposed from the sleeve, which became more and more under the light.
It is very obvious on fair wrists
Xuanye frowned slightly, then put on a decent smile and glanced around the two of them with a slightly doubtful look.
Ji Qinglan smiled heartily, "You kid!" Then he looked at Xuanye and said to him with a tone of hatred, "Deng Rui's father and I are brothers, this kid can be said to be
I have watched him grow up, and he has never been upright since he was a child. If he can be as stable as you, Xiaoye, Lao Deng will not worry about drinking with me."
"Uncle Ji's words make me really embarrassed. Didn't you see that when I was a child, I was no more noisy than a monkey!" Xuanye couldn't directly accept the compliment, although he thought it was the absolute truth.
But the so-called children are always the best of the family. People can say it in a disparaging way, but he, a junior who has nothing to do with it, cannot accept it.
Especially now, he still needs someone in front of him
Ji Qinglan, who is this?
Not to mention Yancheng, there are not many families with profound foundations in country C who don’t know his name.
Twenty years ago, a person who was barely twenty years old could change the financial market with a flick of his wrist.
It can be said that at the age of thirty-nine this year, he has experienced things and people that others may not be able to catch up with in a few lifetimes.
As a man, he knew that Xuanye was just being self-effacing, so he simply changed the subject, with a smile like Maitreya Buddha on his face, and asked, "How did Xiaoye know my useless nephew?"
As for Deng Rui's wrist injury, he said he didn't see it
My family knows that if Deng Rui doesn't want to be hurt, few people can hurt him.
Now this kid is just bruised and yet he is showing off his bruises so proudly. I guess he is not sure how beautiful he is!
As he is getting older, he still won’t get involved in the affairs of young people.
But I still have the strength under Bagua
Under Ji Qinglan's smiling gaze, Xuanye actually felt a little cold.
He didn't know what the person in front of him was thinking, so he thought it was because it was late at night and he was wearing less clothes. With a suitable smile on his face, he decided to have a good relationship with this smiling tiger, "Brother Deng and I know each other quite well."
It’s been a long time, four years ago he went to Jiacheng on a business trip, and we were introduced by friends.”
"It's been a long time," Deng Rui interjected, relaxing the pressure on the other party's shoulders.
"Introduced by a friend?" Ji Qinglan focused on the second half of the sentence. In fact, Xuanye's original intention was to say, "Your nephew has a good relationship with me. I was the one who took care of him when he went to Jiacheng." In the end, it turned out to be true.
In the ears of people who are pestering for gossip, it becomes, "We had a blind date in Jacheng."
Although Xuanye didn't know Ji Qinglan's unreasonable thoughts, the other party's tone also made him unhappy. What's more, Deng Rui's unclear "four-year theory" just made him feel as if some sand had been stuffed in his heart.
uncomfortable
He responded politely and asked Ji Qinglan respectfully and politely: "Uncle Ji, when I talked to you, I didn't even notice the weather. I'm so sorry for taking you so long. When will you be here again?"
Kong, Xuanye will definitely come to visit, and then Uncle Ji, please don’t bother me!"
"You call me Uncle Sheng, how can I still be reluctant to give up a cup of tea? Xiaoye comes over whenever he is free. Uncle usually has nothing to do at home."
Ji Qinglan didn't know anything about his nephew's sudden bright eyes. He was not doing this for his useless guy, but for this little fox Xuanye, who he was really interested in getting to know.
Before anyone could speak, a voice of apology came from behind.
"Mr. Ji came over, but I didn't see him. It's really time to get glasses!"
It turns out that the host just finished seeing off guests and had a long conversation with a friend, so he just came back now
As for why he was so sure to scream for his life without even seeing Ji Qinglan's face, it was actually because of the unexpected visit from Mr. Qin at this banquet, Ji Qinglan was the only one who didn't have any surprises.
Although Ji Qinglan has not been seen for several years, it is impossible for him to not know anything about such a legendary figure.
In this circle, if he really looked at the sky from a well, it would not be his turn to host this banquet.
While talking, he had already walked up to a few people
"Mr. Wei was joking. I came at a bad time. Something happened on the road. I rushed here quickly. I didn't expect that the banquet was already over, which caused a lot of trouble for Mr. Wei."
In fact, several people knew very well whether something happened on the road.
Since Ji Qinglan has already given the steps, the master will not rush up to cause trouble for himself.
"It's good that Brother Ji is here. I've heard of your name for a long time. I found out that the rumors were untrue when I met you today. Brother Ji is not just spiritual, his whole person is like a fairy!"
He also complimented him like this after hearing that the other party had cultivated his moral character over the years and believed in the Tao.
Ji Qinglan did not refuse, patted the shoulder of the young man in his early thirties in front of him, and said with a smile: "I still envy your youthful energy! It's so late, I can't bother you, I'll go back today
"
After a pause, he winked at Deng Rui and Xuan Ye, "Xiao Rui, Xiao Ye, call me Brother Wei!"
"Brother Wei (Brother Wei)!"
Although the two of them called Ji Qinglan "brother" in unison as soon as he finished speaking, there was no hint of respect in their words.
Deng Rui still put his hand on Xuanye's shoulder, looking lazy
However, Xuanye curled his lips inwardly. He didn't think that the person in front of him was qualified enough to call him brother. It was just to give Ji Qinglan face.
Sure enough, not only was the host not dissatisfied with the two people's carelessness, but he waved his hands and declined, "How can I deserve them to call me brother? Just call me Old Wei when I'm not many years old!" He raised his lower lip.
, the topic changed, "Brother Deng, go up and have a drink before leaving."
He was very self-aware, but he didn't mention letting the other person stay overnight. In fact, even if he invited someone to drink, it was just talk.
There is still a big difference between him and the three people in front of him.
Sure enough, Ji Qinglan looked sleepy, waved her hand, and said apologetically: "As you get older, you are no better than before."
The host didn't stop him anymore and sent a few people away.
"Uncle, Aye and I have something to say. Please go away and we will visit you another day!"
After leaving the door, Deng Rui immediately pulled Xuanye towards the place where he parked his car.
"Mr. Ji, Ayano will pay you a visit on another day!"
Even though she was extremely angry, facing Ji Qinglan who was looking at the two of them happily, Xuanye could only smile and was pulled aside by Deng Rui.
