In a blink of an eye, the corner of my eye glanced at Haitong who was following him.
Haitong noticed her looking at him, immediately twirled his hands, trembled his eyelashes uneasily, and called out to someone first: "Aunt Ye."
"Yeah." Ye Lan's expression turned calm. After responding, he saw the anxious girl and then thought of her old man who died early.
In the end, he didn’t say anything: “Go in.”
There are a few blind people who can hang out in this circle. Grandma Li De and Father Li's heart skipped a beat when they saw Ye Lan's fast and cold attitude. They already realized that they might have been deceived.
According to the Hai family, Ye Lan has deep feelings for Haitong and is just angry with her for not living up to her expectations. Ye Lan shouldn't have this attitude.
Ye Lan's cold attitude showed that what Li De said was true.
The Ye family was very dissatisfied with Haitong's trouble with Qiao Nian at the Grand Theater...
They have already brought the people.
Even if Grandma Li De felt a little regret at this moment, she could only force herself to let her son hand over the gift.
“This is a little trick from our family. They are all girls’ favorite gadgets. I don’t know if Miss Qiao will like them.”
People in this circle are not short of money.
Ye Maoshan is famous for not accepting gifts.
They don’t give gifts that are so expensive that they have no eyesight.
So the "little things" that Grandma Li De talks about are indeed not expensive jewelry or bank cards.
They were looking for some small jewelry that girls would like, and the price was around 80,000 to 100,000.
It’s not too bad.
It’s not too expensive either.
It is the kind that is delivered within the range that the other party can just accept.
Ye Lan is also a member of the circle. Seeing that the old lady hinted that it was not an expensive gift, she was not polite and asked the returning secretary to accept it.
Her eyebrows were soft and her eyes were warm: "I would like to thank you for Niannian." Grandma Li De waved her hands hurriedly: "You are too polite. It's Miss Qiao's birthday. This is the proper courtesy."
"I'll have someone take you in." Ye Lan's attitude towards her was okay.
The secretary put down his things and prepared to lead the group in.
Haitong felt very uncomfortable when she saw that Ye Lan ignored her except for giving her a cold response at first.
Grandma Li De and the others have already gone in.
She walked up to Ye Lan and said, "Aunt Ye. This is my... gift."
Ye Lan lowered his eyes and saw the brocade box handed to him. He did not reach out to take it. Instead, he raised his eyes and looked at her sharply.
“Today is Nian Nian’s birthday. If you remain the same as before, not only me but also your Grandpa Ye will never forgive you.”
Her cold warning sounded in Haitong's ears, and her heart felt like a knife. The fingers holding the gift turned white: "I didn't target her specifically."
Ye Lan looked past her and saw another guest coming. He didn't have the patience to listen to what she had to say, so he told her: "I won't accept your gift. If you want to give it, it depends on whether the person involved accepts it or not."
Haitong felt like a slap in the face, his face was blue and white, but he didn't dare to talk back, so he had to quietly take back the gift box.
“I, I went in first.”
“…” Ye Lan was extremely disappointed with her because of what happened last time. He just nodded without making a sound and motioned for her to go in.
Haitong couldn't stand her neglect and ran into the venue as if he was running away.
Just now a new guest has arrived.
Ye Lan had no time to care about Haitong, so she picked up her mood and continued to greet the new arrivals.
“Mr. Wang.”
…
Haitong entered the infield and realized how grand Qiao Nian’s birthday party was today. (End of chapter)
