Chapter 49 Changes

  "Ladies and gentlemen, dear friends, today is my father's 77th birthday celebration. I would like to extend our deepest gratitude to all of you for taking the time to attend this banquet...” Liu Zhenghang beamed with pride on stage, while his father, seated at the main table below, couldn't help but smile, his eyes shining with unspoken pride as he looked at his son.

  No matter whether it was genuine or polite or pretentious, the guests all stared at the stage with eager faces. Luo Ye also stared, but her mind wasn't on the stage.

  Following the previous trajectory, she would also meet Yang Xing today, but not Song Xiaoyang. Yang Xing's father was attending in the name of Liu Zhenghang's friend, and the actual transfer to Island City would have to wait until Mayor Huang retires next year. It seems that different spaces still have some deviations.

  Is Mayor Huang not doing well? What's the reason? She has always focused on short-term and long-term goals, and hasn't paid much attention to these people's dynamics.

  Lu Ye's heart suddenly surged with a sense of powerlessness, as if many things had changed and she didn't know what to do. She had always thought that everything was under her control, but now she realized that some things were not as simple as she had imagined. Although she had experienced so much misfortune in her past life, she was later protected by Jiang Zheng and worked hard to train her physical abilities, which was her own desperate request. In other aspects, her colleagues all took care of her, it's just that the intense hatred made her unable to live alone in the world.

  She thought that she was indeed lacking in intelligence and control, which was also the key reason why she was so worried about Liu Zhenghang's rebirth when she just came back.

  "Clap, clap, clap..." The sudden applause brought Luo Ye's wandering thoughts back, the ceremony had come to an end and the banquet had officially begun.

  Her eyes darted to Wen Shen, who was worriedly watching her. Luo Ye hastily gave her mother a reassuring smile. It was clear that her mother was worried she would be bullied. Her heart firmed up at the thought. Most of Huang Shichang's affairs were changes brought about by her father's change. In other words, as long as people or things that hadn't been influenced by her were still running on their original tracks, she would proceed step by step according to plan. Even if changes occurred, she wasn't afraid. Whoever dared block her way, she'd make sure they had no way out!

  Having died once, what's there to be afraid of? In this life, she wants to live a carefree and happy life. Whether it's right or wrong, she must make the most of the opportunity given by heaven!

  Luo Ye's tense state suddenly relaxed, ever since she came back, her subconscious had been worried about gains and losses. Even when she was being playful and smiling in front of her parents, there was a hint of intentionality, as if to prove that she was different from her past life, proving the existence and changes within her. Now that she has opened up, she truly felt at ease.

  "Luoye, why are you only drinking soup? Take a look at what you like to eat and I'll get it for you!" The younger generation's table didn't have as many rules, no wine only drinks, everyone was chatting and eating with familiar faces. Liu Xing saw Luoye lowering her head and continuously drinking soup, finally couldn't help but speak up.

  Luoye smiled and said: "I'll get it myself, you go take care of the others!"

  Liu Xing was stunned, he couldn't say exactly what was going on, but somehow he felt that Luo Ye seemed a bit different from before, and now her smile seemed... more natural.

  "Luoye, you're so thin, you should eat more nutritious food. This braised pork foot is not bad, have a piece?" Song Xiaoyang, who was sitting between Liu Hang and Yang Xing, smiled as he picked up a piece of what looked like delicious pork foot and placed it on Luoye's plate.

  "Thank you!" Luo Ye smiled and daintily picked up a pig's foot to nibble on, meowing with delight. This was her favorite food! Usually, her mom restricted it, but now she finally discovered the benefits of not eating at the same table as her mom!

  No oil on the mouth, no oil on the hands. A pile of pig's trotters quickly lay in a small dish for throwing away rubbish. Luo Ye glanced at the dishes on the table and suddenly felt that there was nowhere to put her paws.

  This banquet is supposed to feature a "xi" character, the steamed chicken is a whole one, the roasted duck is a whole one, the four喜丸子 are quite large, and there's still no fish yet. As for the vegetarian dishes, not many of them are her favorite either. Meow meow, it seems like they're just setting the mood and don't want anyone to eat.

  The next second Luo Ye was regretting that he had wronged the waiter, who came over with disposable food gloves on, holding a small knife and fork, and skillfully dismembered the chicken, duck, and four喜大丸子. It turned out that it wasn't their turn yet, haha!

  This way of eating, when celebrating the 77th birthday at home, it seems that the Liu family is quite superstitious, they all want to have a whole head and whiskers on the table, and then... eat after seeing the guests.

  But doing so, the flavor didn't quite get in, and the color was just average. After being tossed around by the waiter, Luo Ye lost his appetite and began to daintily drink the soup from the bowl, pondering whether to pick up another pig's foot to eat.

  It's not that she is picky, mainly Liu Zhenghang has always had a clean and honest image outside, this hotel was booked as an ordinary one, the dishes were also ordered as ordinary yet affordable ones, and it wasn't even a transfer table, the dish that was far from her was just messed up by the waiter earlier, can't let her get up to take it in front of others.

  Yang Xing had been observing Luo Ye, this girl was very much to his taste, elegant and beautiful with a hint of coldness, the moment he first saw her, he clearly felt his heart beating faster, through Liu Hang's introduction, he also knew that Luo Ye was Luo Zhenggang's daughter, which made him inevitably have some small thoughts in his mind.

  "Luoye, have another pig's foot!" Yang Xing chuckled and picked up a pig's foot to put on Luoye's plate. Earlier, the speed at which Luoye gnawed on the pig's foot had fully demonstrated her fondness for this type of food.

  "One is enough, thank you!" Luo Ye's eyes were dull and expressionless, without a hint of a smile. This man, she couldn't say she hated him, but she absolutely didn't like him either.

  As the host, Liu Xing was busy taking care of everyone. He patted his head in distress: "Luoye, I forgot you don't like to eat meat dishes! Let me change your plate!" He didn't even listen to Luoye's refusal and got up to make a flurry of movements.

  "Liu Xing, you've gone too far! Are all of us at this table supposed to accommodate her? What are we eating?" Wang Xiaoping was in the middle of picking up a piece of broccoli when Liu Xing suddenly snatched the plate away from him, infuriating him!

  Liu Xing hastily apologized: "Wang Xiaoping, sorry about that. My mom just told me to take good care of Luo Ye, didn't she? Wen Ayi said before that Luo Ye rarely eats meat dishes, so let's be considerate for a bit. If you want to eat, stand up and serve yourself, we're all familiar with each other, no one will laugh at anyone!"

  "I saw her enjoying eating pig's trotters just now!" Wang Wei, the pig-headed king, said with a hateful glare at Luo Ye, then looked at Song Xiaoyang with a flattering expression: "Xiaoyang, after we finish dinner, let's go to the beach and have some fun?"

  "Aren't you afraid that the seagulls will peck at your face and eat it?" Luo Ye drank a sip of tea, her eyes looking at Wang Wei were full of mockery.

  "You... I'll have the chance, I will definitely stew and eat that dead bird of yours!" Wang Wei gritted his teeth in hatred, apparently with a brilliant image of Tiao Tiao floating in his mind again.

  Luoye nodded: "Okay, as long as you have the chance!"

  Those who were familiar with Luo Ye had a look of astonishment in their eyes, previously they only thought she was pretty, but didn't expect her personality to become so sharp. If it were the past, being spoken to like that by Wang Wei would have definitely made her bury her head in shame and not dare to lift it up again.

  "Clap! Clap! Clap......" Song Xiaoyang clapped and laughed: "Good, Luo Ye, I like your personality. Wang Wei, he's just a troublemaker. In middle school, we were classmates, this kid was as annoying as a fly!"

  "Xiao Yang, how can you help outsiders?" Wang Wei's face, no matter what expression it wore, always seemed to have one expression. The slightly spoiled tone of his words carried an inexplicable eeriness.
