Chapter 488 [Family Banquet] (Part 1)

No one said a word on the road, but Chu Yanran knew that he was walking behind him, so he was at ease! Zhang Yang felt at ease when he saw her walking ahead of him! There was no need to say something.

When he arrived at the revolving door of Tianyuan Hotel, Chu Yanran did not pause and whispered: "No need to send it!"

Zhang Yang stood on the marble road in front of Tianyuan Hotel, watching Chu Yanran walk in like this. After walking into the revolving door, she finally turned around and the revolving door made her beautiful shadow change in light and shadow.

Zhang Yang stood outside and inserted his pocket, looking at Chu Yanran with a smile. His expression made Chu Yanran want to scold him from the bottom of his heart, and to scold this heartless thing, thinking of his hatefulness, his hatefulness, and his cuteness.

Chu Yanran's eyes fell down, and she saw the pair of shoes on her feet. The delicate part in her heart was melted. She reminded herself countless times not to be moved easily, but some things were not controlled by her will. She raised her head and found that Zhang Yang's figure had been lost outside the revolving door.

Chu Yanran bit her cherry lips, and finally pushed the door and walked out. Seeing Zhang Yang in the night, he sat by the fountain pool, staring blankly at the water surface, holding his head with both hands. In Chu Yanran's impression, he had never shown such frustration.

She whispered, "Why haven't you gone back yet?"

Zhang Yang said: "I'm afraid I'll leave and I'll never see you again."

Chu Yanran's hand gently landed on Zhang Yang's shoulder, and her eyes were still looking at the water: "Yanran, I can't let you go."

Chu Yanran opened her arms and hugged him tightly into her arms: "Zhang Yang, I can't let you go, but... I can't convince myself..."

"I see!"

Chu Yanran said: "Give me time!"

"I will wait, always wait..."

The reason why Wen Guoquan arranged this family dinner was Zhang Yang and Chu Yanran. Although he and Song Huaiming both knew that this meal had too strong political purpose, once people reached their position, many things must be reasoned, and a high-sounding reason. Although Wen Haonan did not like this very much, he had to follow certain rules in the system.

Wen Guoquan's family first arrived at the King of Jin's Mansion, and his son Wen Haonan proposed to arrange the banquet here. Wen Guoquan has had little communication with his son recently. Although he knew that his son had something to do, the father and son never communicated openly. Wen Guoquan was too busy, and Wen Haonan rarely talked to his father for the initiative, and his smile and words became less and less, which made Wen Guoquan think of himself when he was young.

Song Huaiming and Liu Yuying arrived at the Jin Palace on time at 11:55 noon, five minutes earlier than the agreed time. It seemed too attentive and too late and not respectful enough. An ordinary banquet often gives officials too much meaning.

Wen Haonan was waiting outside the door, leading Song Huaiming and his wife into the room. Wen Guoquan and his wife Luo Huining smiled and stood up to greet them. Wen Guoquan took two steps and stopped there. As the master, he had to show hospitality and respect his identity. Song Huaiming naturally had to take more steps than him. He stretched out his hand and held Wen Guoquan's right hand that had been waiting there, and smiled and said, "Sorry, I've made Premier Wen wait for a long time."

Wen Guoquan laughed and said, "Family, why bother to be so polite!"

Luo Huining and Liu Yuying were already sitting hand in hand. Although the communication between women is not as profound as that between men, they always do better than men. For example, between Luo Huining and Liu Yuying, they lack deep emotional communication and do not intend to get along very deeply. However, they can still be as close as sisters. The reason is that it is all because of their husbands, and they know how to get along.

Liu Yuying took the lead and said, "Yanran hasn't come yet?"

Luo Huining couldn't help but sigh in her heart when she heard her question. Of course she knew that Chu Yanran had run away in anger. She knew the relationship between Chu Yanran and her father. From Liu Yuying's question, it can be heard that the couple was not aware of it at the moment. Luo Huining couldn't help but complain about Zhang Yang. This kid was going to make trouble at this time. If Song Huaiming knew that his daughter had run away in anger, he would not know what would he feel in his heart? Luo Huining still showed no words on the surface and smiled: "Young people are playful, and I don't know where she and Zhang Yang are going to play again!" She said to Wen Haonan: "Haonan, go and notify the hotel to serve the food. We will have dinner at that time, and we won't wait for them."

Song Huaiming hadn't seen his daughter for a long time. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, let's talk." The implication is to wait for his daughter.

Wen Guoquan smiled and said, "Huaiming hasn't seen Yanran for a while?"

Song Huaiming said: "My daughter is old and she has to be busy with her own affairs. It is impossible for her to stay by her parents all day long."

Liu Yuying smiled and said, "Huaiming said this, but he missed Yanran the most. He wished that his daughter would stay by his side every day."

Everyone laughed, and Wen Guoquan sighed: "It's all like this. When my children were young, they hoped that they would grow up quickly, but when they grew up, they started to conflict again. They hoped that they would have a future and have their own career as soon as possible, and they were afraid that they would not be by their side. Which parent in the world was not worried about gains and losses like this."

Song Huaiming glanced at Wen Haonan and said, "Prime Minister Wen is so lucky. He has such a smart, capable and obedient son."

Wen Haonan smiled embarrassedly.

Luo Huining said: "The son has the benefits of a son, and the daughter has the benefits of a daughter. I think your Yanran is very good, beautiful and well-behaved. My godson doesn't know when he will be able to get blessings in his life to know such a good girl as Yanran."

Song Huaiming smiled.

Liu Yuying said, "What's going on with Zhang Yang? It's been almost the same time!"

Luo Huining said: "Haonan, call Zhang Yang and urge him!"

Wen Haonan picked up the phone and was about to call, Zhang Yang pushed the door and walked in. What surprised Luo Huining was that not only his godson Zhang Yang came, but even Chu Yanran also came. Seeing that the two of them came together again, Luo Huining was filled with relief. After all, they were a pair of fighting enemies, and there was no overnight revenge!

Zhang Yang said happily: "Sorry, the traffic in this capital is too congested, and there are many red lights. I stuffed cars three times along the way and encountered more than 300 red lights, so I came late."

Prince Luo Huining smiled and said, "You guys will talk nonsense, just wait for you!" She waved to Chu Yanran and said, "Yanran, sit here!"

Chu Yanran nodded, sat down between Luo Huining and Liu Yuying, called Aunt Luo, and then called Aunt Liu in a low voice. Although it was just a plain name, it had filled Liu Yuying's heart with joy.

Zhang Yang sat down next to Wen Haonan, first called him godfather at Wen Guoquan, and then smiled and called Uncle Song at Song Huaiming.

Wen Guoquan laughed and said, "It's not a good habit to be late!"

Zhang Yang said: "Abide by the leadership's teachings!"

Luo Huining smiled and said, "There are no leaders present, all of you are your elders!"

Wen Haonan saw that everyone was together, so he got up and went out to call the dishes. Luo Huining and Liu Yuying held Chu Yanran's hand and kept talking. Wen Guoquan and Song Huaiming talked about the domestic situation. There was not much common language between Zhang Yang and Wen Haonan. The two picked up their glasses and drank a few glasses, and found that they were the foils of today.

Since this meal is a family dinner, it is necessary to mention the lifelong event between Zhang Yang and Chu Yanran. Luo Huining said: "Yanran, when you were in the United States, Zhang Yang was waiting for the stars and the moon to wait for you to come back. Now he finally came back. When are you two planning to get married?" Luo Huining was not sure what happened between Zhang Yang and Chu Yanran, so he asked this question. As soon as this sentence was said, Zhang Daren was stunned and thought to himself, godmother, aren't you holding any pots?

Chu Yanran came with him just to meet the situation. Although their relationship was still there, Chen Xue's affairs obviously hurt Chu Yanran. Some of the harm was not something that could be bridged immediately. Chu Yanran proposed to ask him to give her some time, and Zhang Daren also agreed. In fact, he didn't know how to explain his colorful affairs to Chu Yanran. In short, his feelings are just one word now - chaos, and he couldn't even sort out the clues. Now his godmother is causing trouble again, which is really a mess.

Zhang Yang looked at Chu Yanran with a gaze. He was afraid that this girl would not be able to stand the stimulation and could not control her emotions. If she burst into tears on the spot, she would definitely be the target of public criticism.

Chu Yanran performed very well, looked at Zhang Yang, and smiled and said, "Aunt Luo, we are still young. He is an official fan. He is determined to be a high-ranking official and wants to do a big career. My grandmother handed over the Bening Consortium to me. In a short period of time, I can't take all the affairs of the group. Don't you elders often say that young people should do more while they are young and don't devote too much energy to their children's love?" Although Chu Yanran performed very well, she ignored a fact. Everyone present was a person with a sharp eye. They were good at seeing the essence of the problem from the subtleties. Chu Yanran thought it was calm and natural, but there were many flaws in the eyes of these elders. Luo Huining immediately realized that she had asked the wrong thing.

Of course, the one who cares most about Chu Yanran is her father Song Huaiming. Song Huaiming found that the daughter's expression was not natural from the moment her daughter walked into the room. Although he rarely saw her daughter, he could still observe her daughter in a slight way. Her daughter became fat and thin, happy or sad. He could tell at a glance that the first impression she saw Yanran this time was haggard, and her daughter's eyes were slightly swollen. Obviously, she didn't sleep well last night, so she probably had cried. Yanran is a strong girl. There was only one person who could make her cry, that is Zhang Yang. This was something that made Song Huaiming very helpless. Zhang Yang's status in Yanran's heart has even surpassed her biological father.

Song Huaiming said: "Yanran, have you just returned from the United States and you haven't had a good jet lag yet and have not had a good rest? You look so tired and haggard!" When he said this, he looked at Zhang Yang intentionally or unintentionally, and was not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door without doing bad things. But Zhang Daguan Ren is now guilty. Song Huaiming's look made his heart pound, and he said that Old Song must have seen it.

Chu Yanran said: "It's okay, I'm fine!"

Now even Liu Yuying could see that something must have happened between Chu Yanran and Zhang Yang. She smiled and said, "Okay, let's not talk about these things. Don't let this young man be embarrassed in front of so many people."

Song Huaiming said calmly: "It's an era. We parents are all very open-minded. As children, we can get together, and if we don't get along, we will part. No one will force them to do anything about love." Song Huaiming couldn't stand his daughter being wronged. From what his daughter said, he believed that his daughter was wronged. Recalling all the things he had heard before, he suddenly became uncomfortable in his heart. These words had obviously revealed displeasure.

Wen Guoquan smiled and raised his wine glass and said, "All family gatherings, don't always make friends around young people. Huaiming, you must stay in Beijing for a few more days this time, so we two have to have a good chat."

Song Huaiming said: "I can't help myself. There is still a lot of things waiting for me to go back to deal with in Pinghai. I don't have time to relax."

Luo Huining said: "I finally came over to play, don't leave in a hurry. Yuying and I have something to say."

Liu Yuying nodded, and she also felt that the atmosphere of today's banquet was a little wrong. Song Huaiming's concern for her daughter was too exposed. Thinking of herself, Liu Yuying felt sad. Perhaps it was her emotions that triggered her reaction. She stood up in a hurry and walked out of the door with her mouth covering her mouth. Luo Huining looked at Liu Yuying in surprise. She originally wanted to get up, but Chu Yanran said, "Aunt Luo, I'll go and have a look!"

After Liu Yuying vomited, she came to the pool to wash her face. She saw Chu Yanran beside her from the mirror. She smiled a little unconsciously: "I caught a cold..."
