Volume 1 Chapter 48: An Unexpected Encounter

  The guests attending the birthday banquet were either relatives of the Liu family or belonged to the same faction as Liu Zhengxing, and there were also a few neutral ones, but with a deeper background than Liu Zhengxing, who were also invited.

  If only from the position, Luo Zhenggang should be considered as the highest position except for the host of the banquet. He was arranged at the main table, Wen Xin was arranged at the female guest's main table, and Luo Ye preferred to sit with people of the same age and actively asked to follow her mother.

  The several women who were originally seated, and Wen Shen, happened to know each other. Because of Luo Zheng's identity, the few people all stood up politely to greet the mother-daughter pair. When they looked at Luo Ye, their eyes clearly showed surprise.

  The mother and daughter, one is charming and elegant, the other is pure and lovely. Especially the daughter, who used to be an unremarkable little girl, it seems that time has changed her a lot. In two more years, she will definitely surpass her mother in beauty. Such a pair of mother and daughter, it's hard not to feel a little envy or admiration.

  For everyone's initial politeness and respect, warmth is suitable because it was the same in previous years. Sarcasm usually occurs after exchanging greetings and chatting for a while.

  But after approaching Xiao Hua, everyone was still obviously flattering her and talking to Xiao Hua, warm and inexplicable. Looking at his daughter in confusion, Luo Ye pretended not to understand and shifted her gaze to the door.

  According to her observation and analysis, there are two reasons why these people treated her mother this way: one is that Dad's authority has increased, and the other is that Doudou framed her!

  The reason is simple. Everyone supports Xiaohua, and it's not just because of her temper. It's also because they are all aware of her uncle's identity. Same logic applies.

  If Tiantian were around, Luoye would definitely pick her up and give her a kiss. Unintentionally, this made everyone feel a little intimidated by their mother, Tiantian is the hero!

  Her eyes fixed on the entrance, Luo Ye was stunned, just in time to see Liu Zhengxing and his entourage ushering Old Man Liu into the banquet hall. Old Man Liu wore a crimson Tang suit, beaming with joy as he greeted everyone while making his way to the main table.

  Luoye's body stiffened and a hint of anger flashed in her eyes. Despite being mentally prepared, she still couldn't truly remain calm and composed.

  A handsome young man in the team turned his head, and just met Luo Ye's eyes, his eyes lit up for a moment, then returned to calmness, following behind a group of elders.

  Behind the man, Wang Wei followed, originally aiming at his mother, but happened to aim at Luo Ye who turned back, and was shocked with his mouth open.

  When he came, although one was in front of the other, Wang Wei only saw Luo Ye's back. Now that he sees his true appearance, he is really not calm, this... Is this crazy guy who beats him like a madman?

  The son's appearance naturally fell into Xiaohua's eyes, and she was so angry that she glared at her son several times. Unfortunately, Wang Wei was in a state of unconsciousness, and he didn't notice his mother's angry movements until a girl who followed him pushed him, which made him come to his senses and catch up with the main team.

  After everyone entered, Nie Cui came to Luo Ye's side and smiled as she pulled her: "Little Ye, last year you were at the young people's table, mixed in with a group of middle-aged women, how uncomfortable was that?"

  Luoye smiled and refused: "Auntie, no need, I'll just accompany my mom!"

  "Your mom has us to accompany her, don't worry!" Nie Cui pulled Luo Ye forward without giving him a chance to speak, and under this circumstance, Luo Ye couldn't struggle free either, he could only obediently follow behind.

  For most people at the same age as Luo Ye, they only had a faint impression of him, and the time interval was too long ago, so they almost forgot his name. He smiled and nodded to everyone, looking at Nie Cui: "Auntie, you go back to the female guest table."

  Nie Cui Chong smiled at everyone: "None of you are allowed to bully Xiao Ye, okay? Come over and take care of Xiao Ye! If she's not satisfied with anything, it's your responsibility."

  "Luoye, if my mom hadn't told me, I wouldn't have recognized you! Just now, I was guessing which family's beautiful girl this is!" Liu Hang smiled and sat down beside Luoye: "The saying 'a woman changes eighteen times after adulthood' - I believe it today!"

  "Thank you, I'll take that as a compliment!" Luo Ye smiled faintly at Liu Xing, feeling a hint of gratitude towards him, but it was impossible for her to have any special feelings for him, after all, his identity had predetermined that the two could never be friends.

  Perhaps one day he will hate himself, who knows. The current Liu Zhenghang has not taken action on many things, and his family probably doesn't know either. This seemingly upright good husband and father is actually what kind of person.

  She always thought it was funny that Liu Zhenghang named his youngest son Liu Hang, and wondered what he felt when calling him Hang Hang. Was he trying to make himself feel younger? Luo Ye's nasty guesswork... Oh, Luo Ye suddenly realized that the homophone of Hang Hang wasn't "execution" what if he had always known that his crime might lead to execution? Continuing with the nasty guesswork...

  Liu Xing found Luo Ye's coldness to be normal, after all, the previous Luo Ye was not very talkative, just because she became prettier didn't mean her personality changed.

  "Luoye, didn't you go get plastic surgery?" A girl with an ordinary face sitting across from Luoye finally couldn't help but speak up, previously she always thought she was prettier than Luoye.

  Lu Ye swept a glance at the other party, and quickly floated out the other's information in her mind - Wang Xiaoping, the daughter of a certain vice mayor. Seeing that everyone was staring at her with eager eyes, Lu Ye picked up her tea cup to take a sip of barley tea. When everyone thought she was about to speak, she picked up a small pastry and took another sip of tea...

  "Wang Xiaoping, go take a look at what my mom looks like, then go take a look at what my dad looks like. After that, come back and make your statement!" Just when everyone thought Luo Ye wasn't going to respond, he spoke up in a calm and unhurried tone.

  Everyone's mouth corners twitched, coughing. Wang Xiaoping's parents' appearance can also be seen. People who are timid, it's best to go together in pairs. This may be a bit of an exaggeration, but Wang Lao Da's face... is like the beach after a rainstorm with countless potholes. It's said that this is a mark left from his youth, not sure if it's true or false.

  "Y...". Wang Xiaoping was about to say something harsh, but suddenly stopped. Then, Nie Cui's voice came again: "Let me introduce two new friends, Yang Xing is the only son of Mayor Yang who just transferred over, Song Xiaoyang is the daughter of Mayor Yang's former colleague, and this swollen face everyone knows, Wang Wei, say hello to our guests."

  Nie Cui finished speaking and smiled, lightly pinching Luo Ye's shoulder before leaving. It was clear that she really liked Luo Ye, which made the several girls at the table feel a little jealous.

  Yang Xing and Song Xiaoyang, the handsome man who followed Liu Lao's procession earlier and the young woman who pushed Wang Wei, were surrounded by people chatting with them. When everyone was vying to greet the two, Luo Ye's eyes drooped, a hint of sarcasm flashing at the bottom of her eyes, after all, they had met ahead of time.
