Turn over from love

Chapter 225 Today Is Not A Coincidence

"President Gao, Ye Mingzhe and Ye Fangfei are here."

Gao Tingan was chatting with a middle-aged guest, when his assistant Xiao Wu suddenly approached him and whispered a reminder in his ear.

Gao Ting'an didn't respond, turned his head to look in the direction of the door, and then ended the conversation with the guest who was chatting.

He raised his hand and straightened his collar before walking towards the entrance of the banquet hall.

A warm smile appeared on his expressionless face, and Gao Ting'an's voice came first before he reached Ye Mingzhe and the others.

"Oh, welcome welcome!"

He went through the crowd and went straight to Ye Mingzhe and Ye Fangfei who had just entered.

Lu Zhou, who was sitting in the corner of the leisure area, stared at the movement at the door with his eyes, and couldn't see clearly because of the crowd walking in the middle.

He took a sip of his wine, then got up and walked over there.

He decided to take a closer look.

Ye Fangfei wore a navy blue mid-length one-shoulder dress today. Her caramel-colored long hair was permed into big waves and spread over her shoulders. One side of her long hair was hung behind her ear, revealing her beautiful ears. Wearing a diamond stud earring.

This outfit of hers made her skin as white as snow, glamorous and charming. She put on light makeup to outline the details of the three-dimensional facial features better, and the maple leaf red on her lips was particularly alluring.

It's just that when she wasn't smiling, there was a hint of coldness all over her body.

As soon as she entered, she looked around the scene.

Did not find the target figure, but heard Gao Tingan's enthusiastic welcoming voice, Ye Fangfei turned her gaze back.

Gao Tingan had already arrived in front of them. He looked at Ye Mingzhe first and said, "I didn't expect you to find time to come here. It's my honor."

"Brother Ting'an, happy birthday, this is a small gift from us." Ye Mingzhe handed over the gift.

"It's fine when people come, why bother to bring gifts."

Gao Tingan took the gift, patted Ye Mingzhe lightly, and said.

"Originally, I didn't plan to celebrate any birthdays this year, but I thought this year's day would be special, so I invited everyone over to have a light meal together to make it lively."

Ye Mingzhe responded with a smile, "Birthdays still have to be celebrated. Forget it, brother Ting'an is born this year, right?"

Gao Ting'an nodded: "Yes, it's 36 in a blink of an eye, the years are really scary."

A trace of surprise flashed in Ye Fangfei's eyes when she heard the words, and she suddenly said, "Brother Ting An, it seems that you are not superstitious?"

Gao Tingan met her gaze with a smile, a little dazed, "I don't understand what you mean, what does it have to do with being superstitious or not?"

"Isn't there a saying among the people that... the year of birth is not suitable for birthdays?" Ye Fangfei replied leisurely.

Ye Mingzhe: "..."

Gao Tingan's brows and eyes moved slightly, and the corner of his mouth was still smiling, but the light in his eyes was like a smile, not a smile.

Ye Mingzhe turned his head and glanced at his sister, "You also said that you are a new generation walking in the trend of the times, you still believe such things."

Ye Fangfei showed an innocent face, and said, "I definitely don't believe it. It's just that many elders like to pay attention to these things, so I said that Brother Ting'an is not superstitious, which is very good."

Ye Mingzhe: "Then you can't be outspoken and rude on this occasion."

Ye Fangfei realized that she had said something wrong, and looked at Gao Ting'an, "I'm sorry, brother Ting'an, I'm young and ignorant, and I didn't care about the occasion when I spoke. Didn't it disturb your good mood today?"

Gao Tingan stared at her with a gentle smile on his face, "What is the year of birth and not the year of birth? Ever since my parents were gone, I have ignored these so-called taboos. It's better to celebrate my birthday with more excitement, not so much."

"There's no need to be so estranged with me, just say what you want to say." Gao Ting'an said, and lightly patted Ye Mingzhe on the shoulder, "Mingzhe and you too, why are you so serious to your sister?"

Ye Mingzhe: "She is used to being lawless at home. Sometimes she speaks regardless of the occasion. She should be educated when it is time to educate, otherwise she will not know when she causes trouble outside in the future. Not everyone she meets can indulge her temper. Fortunately, Today was at your place, she talked nonsense and you didn't care about her."

Ye Fangfei: "..."

Gao Ting'an laughed, "It's not that strict, she is still young, at this age, it's good to keep her true temperament. Is there still a shortage of people in our circle who can wink and talk?"

Ye Mingzhe and Gao Tingan came back and forth, saying things that seemed to be polite but not so polite.

Ye Fangfei is very annoyed by this kind of social tension between people who say "familiar but not very familiar, say not familiar but still familiar".

It’s not okay to be polite, and it’s not okay to be too polite. You have to grasp a certain degree.

Indeed, it was excruciating.

Her attention began to shift unconsciously again.

This time, she found Lu Zhou's figure in the crowd.

There was a distance of three or four people between him and her, and their eyes collided in the air.

Ye Fangfei wanted to find him, but the communication here is not over yet, so it's not good to leave rashly.

"My dad is not feeling well today, so I can't come here today. My mother is worried about him and is staying at home. They let you have time to have a meal at home another day, and make up for your birthday." Ye Mingzhe said.

In fact, Ye Mingzhe had no intention of attending this birthday party.

But Gao Tingan sent invitations and invited their whole family.

Dad said he didn't want to come today, and asked him to take his sister as a representative to attend.

That's how Ye Mingzhe came.

In fact, Ye Fangfei's question just touched his heart. If there were no special circumstances, who would have a big birthday in the year of birth?

Ye Fangfei, a wayward little girl who never pays attention to these etiquettes, knows this truth, and it is impossible for him, Gao Tingan, to not know it.

Could it be that this year's birthday really has special meaning for Gao Ting'an?
I don't know what Gao Ting'an is thinking, Ye Mingzhe doesn't bother to figure it out, he and him are not the same, we can't hang out together, although the father's generation used to have a good friendship, but in their generation, they don't see each other very often.

"Uncle Hua is not feeling well? Is it serious? Have you seen a doctor?" Gao Ting'an immediately showed a worried expression after hearing Ye Mingzhe's words.

"It doesn't matter, it's just that I'm old and my stomach is relatively fragile. I accidentally ate something that shouldn't be eaten, and I'm having a stomachache." Ye Mingzhe replied with a smile.

Gao Tingan made a look of relief.

"It's fine if there is no serious problem. Your health is important. Of course it would be best for Uncle Hua to come today. If I can't come, I will be happy to have you here. There is no need to make up for my birthday. I would have this birthday party today because The date that coincides with this year’s lunar birthday is rather special.”

Ye Fangfei's attention was drawn back, and she became puzzled when she heard their conversation.

"Aside from your birthday, is there any other special day today?" Ye Fangfei asked.

Gao Tingan stared at her, pursed his lips and smiled, paused for a moment before saying, "It's nothing, it's just a very special day for me personally."

Ye Fangfei didn't ask any more questions, she nodded and said, "That being the case, let's celebrate today."

Gao Ting'an smiled calmly and didn't answer.

But silently sneered in the bottom of my heart: Celebrate?hehe.

"I see that you invited an orchestra, how elegant are you?" Ye Fangfei said.

"There must be some show, and I don't have any other hobbies, so I invited some professional musicians to add to the fun."

Gao Tingan turned his head to look in the direction of the small stage in the performance area, and responded.

"Oh, by the way, I invited Lu Zhou over today. I really like his piano piece recently, so I specially invited him to play a piece."

Gao Tingan said, turned to look at the assistant beside him, and said, "Xiao Wu, go find Lu Zhou? Tell him that he has a friend here."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Fangfei interrupted, saying, "No need, I saw him."

Gao Ting'an nodded, no longer made special arrangements, and then chatted for a few words, and then he went to receive new guests.

Ye Fangfei was relieved, told her brother Ye Mingzhe, and then ran to find Lu Zhou.

Lu Zhou was still nearby, but he disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Ye Fangfei looked around and finally found him in a corner of the leisure area.

He obviously met her eyes just now, why did he run so far away from her in the blink of an eye?Sitting alone in meditation, I don't know what I'm thinking, I look lonely, it makes people feel a little distressed for no reason, is it not suitable for this occasion?
Ye Fangfei murmured in her heart, quickened her pace and walked in the direction of Lu Zhou, but was blocked by Zhang Chen who appeared suddenly on the way.

"Today is very beautiful." Zhang Chen boasted with a smile as soon as he came up.

Seeing Zhang Chen, Ye Fangfei froze for a moment, ignored his compliments, raised her eyebrows and said, "Are you there?"

"Yes, what a coincidence, you and your brother are here?" Zhang Chen smiled at her.

"Just arrived, when did you come?"

"I've been here for a while."

"Oh, did you know that Lu Zhou is here too?"

"I know! It's amazing. Let me tell you, I didn't expect to see Lu Zhou here. Do you know that this kid came here to perform commercials? He is really everywhere in the money-making corner. Take it."

"Just because he came to the commercial show, so you don't bother to talk to him?"

"Ah?" Zhang Chen was dumbfounded.

Why does this dialogue feel so logical?
"How could I ignore him? I just chatted with him before you came. Why do you only think of me as bad?"

Zhang Chen was speechless.

"Okay, then I blamed you." Ye Fangfei smiled at him, "You can find other friends to play with."

Ye Fangfei bypassed him and continued towards Luzhou.

In the end, Zhang Chen didn't leave, and kept following her, "My little partner is you."

Ye Fangfei: "..."

She raised her eyes and glanced at him, her eyes seemed to say: Who is your little friend.

Zhang Chen pressed his right hand to his lips and coughed lightly, and said in a low voice: "Um... can we behave a little more harmoniously today? Don't be so mean to me."

Ye Fangfei raised her eyebrows, "Why?"

"Both of our elder brothers are here... I don't want them to misunderstand that we have a bad relationship." Zhang Chen chuckled and said in a low voice.

Ye Fangfei: "Misunderstanding? How could it be? Our relationship wasn't very good in the first place."

Zhang Chen subconsciously looked in Ye Mingzhe's direction, wishing to die, he was also looking in this direction, when he saw Zhang Chen standing next to Ye Fangfei, there was something wrong with his eyes.

Zhang Chen quickly looked away, and said to Ye Fangfei: "Excuse me, don't you notice that your elder brother looks at me like he wants to kill me? We acted better, at least he doesn't treat me that much." Diaphragm response."

Ye Fangfei couldn't help laughing, it turned out he was because of this.

"It's useless, my brother holds a grudge. If you stay away from me, he won't look at you like that." Ye Fangfei teased him.

"..." Zhang Chen showed an indescribable expression, "Believe in you bastard, I stay away from you, he misunderstood you and my incompatibility even more, wouldn't that hate me even more? Have you ever told your father and brother that you and I are together?" Collaborate on a project?"

Ye Fangfei: "No."

Zhang Chen: "???"

Zhang Chen: "Why didn't you tell? You should tell them."

Ye Fangfei: "Why do you say, they never care what projects I do."

Zhang Chen was stunned, "I'll go, you ask them to take so much money, they don't even care about what projects you do?"

Ye Fangfei: "I didn't ask them for funds."

Zhang Chen: "..." Inexplicably, he was insulted.

Ye Fangfei had already passed through the crowd to the area where Lu Zhou was sitting, and Zhang Chen followed all the way, unable to shake her off.

"Why didn't you say hello to me when you saw me?"

Ye Fangfei came to him, found an empty seat and sat down.

"Isn't it because you are busy with socializing? I don't want to disturb you." Lu Zhou smiled back and asked, "Why are you still here?"

"My family received an invitation card, and my dad asked me to come." Ye Fangfei replied.

Her father asked her to come on the one hand, and she herself was worried or wanted to come and see on the other hand.

But she didn't say why.

Lu Zhou's eyes fell on Zhang Chen, and he asked, "Didn't you say you were looking for your brother? Why did you come back again?"

"The two of them are busy dealing with people, so they don't have time to talk to me." Zhang Chen sat down on the empty seat on the other side of Lu Zhou, and said.

Lu Zhou laughed when he heard this.

So good.

"When are you going to play?" Ye Fangfei asked.

"They said I was the finale." Lu Zhou responded.

"How many programs in total?" Ye Fangfei shifted her gaze to the direction of the stage.

"I don't know, I didn't tell me, but that group came to perform." Lu Zhou raised his chin to the right and said.

Ye Fangfei raised her eyebrows and said, "Then you still have to wait."

"Fortunately, after all the guests arrive, the performance will almost start," Lu Zhou said.

Ye Fangfei looked at the guests coming and going in the banquet hall, and suddenly said to Lu Zhou: "It's fine to sit here, how about I take you to meet some people?"

After hearing Ye Fangfei's words, Zhang Chen raised his eyebrows and looked over, thinking: No, maybe she wants to take him to meet her elder brother, right?

When this thought came up, the corners of Zhang Chen's mouth trembled, so he treated it differently? !

At this moment, Lu Zhou replied, "No need."

On this occasion, it might be better to be quiet, he thought.

"You just came here, don't you want to walk around with other people?" Lu Zhou looked at her and hinted, his eyes seemed to say: Don't take care of me, I'm fine, you do what you should do.

Ye Fangfei understood the look in his eyes. Obviously, she had misunderstood his psychology by looking at his lonely figure from a long distance. He didn't seem to feel so uncomfortable in this situation, and he looked quite calm. .

"Then shall I... go away for a while?" she said.

Lu Zhou nodded, "Well, let's go."

Ye Fangfei really got up and left. After all, it was an occasion full of elders, and she knew many of them, so she always wanted to say hello.

After she left, Lu Zhou looked at Zhang Chen and said, "Don't you need to socialize?"

Lu Zhou's words suddenly gave Zhang Chen an idea.

Eh?Yes, entertainment!Should he just use the pretext of "entertainment" to get close to Ye Mingzhe?
In this way, Ye Mingzhe can know the situation between him and Ye Fangfei, and maybe he won't have any objections to him.

In this case, his two eldest brothers will really believe that he has eased the relationship with the Ye family and is doing well!

Killing two birds with one stone is wonderful.

This move is feasible, afraid of a fart?
After figuring it out, Zhang Chen stood up abruptly and followed suit.

Lu Zhou was left sitting alone in a corner with his legs crossed, holding a half glass of red wine taken from the bartender's tray, shaking it every now and then, carefully observing the movements of all the guests centered on Gao Ting'an.

Today must not be a coincidence.

With Gao Ting'an's style, he specially invited all members of the Zhang family and Ye family to his birthday party, plus an abrupt myself, he must have wanted to observe something.

He probably thinks that the relationship between me, Ye Fangfei, and Zhang Chen is very strange. Why did Ye Fangfei and Zhang Chen feel like nothing happened before?Can we still be friends?

He may also be wondering if there is any change in the cooperative relationship between the Zhang family and the Ye family, he may also be suspicious of my relationship with Ye Fangfei, and he may already be investigating why I became friends with Zhang Chen.

Yes, he should have been looking into my role in this.

Lu Zhou took a sip of the red wine and analyzed it in his mind.

At this time, there was a commotion in the surrounding area.

Lu Zhou withdrew his thoughts and turned his head to take a look.

It turned out that a girl on the musician's side accidentally dropped her wine glass and cut her finger.

The staff at the scene hurried forward to deal with the accident. Fortunately, the wound was not very deep, and the bleeding stopped quickly.

But the girl's eyes were red, "What should I do? How will I play the piano later?"

"No way, you're too careless, cancel the performance, it's better than making a mistake on the stage. Today, President Gao's birthday party, you can't play the piano for him with bloody hands, how unlucky." A colleague said.

The girl wept silently, obviously very sad.

But there is no way, now this situation can only be cancelled, and someone has found a staff member in charge of this.

"What kind of piano are you in charge of playing?"

"Guzheng."

"Hey, why did this kind of accident happen? The performance time is not enough... It's really not going well. Who, you should go and inform and withdraw the Guzheng project."

Seeing this, Lu Zhou interrupted him suddenly.

"I can play the guzheng, or I will fill in the vacancy in her project."

Lu Zhou's words stunned the staff.

"Can you play the guzheng?" The staff member's eyes lit up immediately.

Lu Zhou: "I will."

"You voluntarily filled her vacancy? But for the appearance fee... I have to discuss with the relevant person in charge again how to increase the price."

Lu Zhou smiled and said, "I can have an extra show for free, and it will be my birthday present to Mr. Gao."

Staff: "Yeah! That's great! Thank you so much!"

However, at this time, Lu Zhou's voice changed: "But I won't play your limited repertoire, I have to decide the repertoire."
