The Cliff of Eternal Sun

Chapter 25 Banquet

The place where the engagement banquet was held was a villa of Ji's family in the suburbs. Although Aunt Lin asked to take a taxi before the arrival, Wei Mu took two buses first, and took a taxi at the last section where public transportation was inconvenient. It was already past seven o'clock in the evening.

The villa is built on the hillside, and the gentle slope creates a comfortable and beautiful natural mountain view. Coupled with the artificial and careful layout, the dim sky can't hide the elegance and luxury everywhere.Wei Mu didn't come too early, many people had already arrived, all kinds of luxury cars lined up from the entrance of the villa to the foot of the mountain.Wei Mu carried the piece of wood he carved by himself, and couldn't help but feel a little uneasy as he walked up the mountain. He didn't know what Ji Tangtang's plan was, and he didn't know what would happen tonight. angry……

He was thinking in a mess, and was stopped when he reached the gate.

The butler in a strict suit and uniform smiled politely at him: "Sir, please show your invitation card."

Wei Mu was taken aback. Ji Tangtang didn't tell him yesterday that he needed an invitation. He explained to the housekeeper, "Sorry, I don't have an invitation, but it's Tang...Miss Ji invited me."

The housekeeper still had the polite appearance, but there was no room for return in what he said: "I'm sorry sir, every invitation tonight is sent by the lady herself, she doesn't want to be too noisy, so tonight only Only guests with invitation cards can enter, I hope you can understand."

Wei Mu frowned, and some bad premonition arose in his heart. After a moment of silence, he said, "Ms. Ji invited me in person yesterday. If it's convenient for you, can you find someone to confirm with her."

The housekeeper's eyes fell on his face for a few seconds, probably thinking that he didn't seem to be lying, so he turned around and called a waiter, whispered a few words, the waiter put down the things in his hands, and walked quickly towards the villa. go inside.

The housekeeper turned around and said to Wei Mu, "Please wait a little longer."

In just a few minutes of their conversation, another new guest had arrived. Wei Mu stepped aside to open the entrance, watched the butler take the invitation from the two of them, said a few polite words to each other, and then He smiled and watched the two of them walk towards the courtyard.Then several people passed by, Wei Mu stood alone outside the gate, and everyone who came would give him a few glances, although he didn't say anything, his expression revealed doubts about his identity.

Wei Mu felt a little uncomfortable, so he took a few steps to the side, and stood in the shadow of roses climbing on the fence.

Through the lush rose bushes, you can see the situation in the courtyard. The green lawn is carefully decorated with various flowers. The milky white lights are placed in the exquisite flower stands, softly illuminating the bluestone road leading to the villa. The gate of the villa It is opened to both sides, and the majestic light and shadow inside flow out. Men and women in evening gowns are holding champagne and laughing softly. You don’t need to experience all this personally, but just looking at it from a distance makes you feel grand and grand, not as casual as Ji Tangtang said yesterday simple look.

The waiter who went to ask questions didn't come back for a long time, Wei Mu didn't intend to wait any longer, he returned to the gate, handed the cardboard box in his hand to the housekeeper, and said, "I probably shouldn't come tonight, this is Congratulations to Ms. Ji on her engagement gift, please pass it on to her."

The butler showed some hesitation, hesitating whether to pick it up or not, when he saw Ji Tangtang coming out from the corner of the corner of his eye.

Ji Tangtang wore a white mermaid dress tonight, her jet-black hair was pulled up high behind her head, embellished with a ring of pearls, showing a delicately dressed beauty, radiant and just right.

She walked over quickly, with nothing unusual in her expression, but said to Wei Mu apologetically, "I'm sorry Brother Wei, I'm a little busy today, and I forgot to tell them that you are coming, and made you wait outside for so long."

Wei Mu smiled and said, "It's okay."

"Then let's go in."

After Ji Tangtang said that, she turned around to lead him into the courtyard, but Wei Mu called her from behind: "Tangtang."

Ji Tangtang turned around suspiciously: "What's wrong?"

Wei Mu took two steps forward and handed her the things he had been carrying in his hand: "I wish you a happy engagement, the gift is very simple, I hope you don't dislike it."

While saying "how come", Ji Tangtang took the paper bag and handed it to the waiter standing beside him without looking at it.

Wei Mu withdrew his hand, still with a gentle look: "Just deliver the gifts and blessings, and I won't go in."

Ji Tangtang's expression changed slightly, and he asked anxiously, "Why?"

She approached Wei Mu and whispered, "My brother is busy inside, don't you want to see him?"

Wei Mu's weakness is really easy to handle, as soon as Ji Suian moved it out, he put a simple "no" on his lips, but he couldn't say it.That was against his will, how could he not want to see Ji Suian, he wanted to see him all the time, desperately.

Ji Tangtang saw through his thoughts, and without waiting for him to say anything, grabbed his arm and dragged him towards the villa: "Since you're here, how can I let you just leave like this, come in and have a look."

Having been dragged into the courtyard, Wei Mu couldn't say anything more, and silently followed behind Ji Tangtang.

After a few steps, Ji Tangtang let go of his hand, and when he reached the two gates, Ji Tangtang stopped, but didn't go in, turned around and said to Wei Mu: "Brother Wei, I still have some things to do over there. If you are busy, go in and find a place to sit."

Wei Mu couldn't occupy tonight's protagonist and prevent her from leaving, so he nodded and said, "Just go and do your own thing."

Ji Tangtang left in another direction, and Wei Mu was the only one left at the door.

It's not a place suitable for staying for a long time, let's not talk about people coming and going, standing for a long time is easy to attract people's attention, Wei Mu had no choice but to take a deep breath calmly, and walked in front of him This bright and majestic villa looks like a palace.

The white crystal chandelier above the head quietly cast light and shadows. The spacious hall is covered with short velvet woven carpets, and an open space is reserved in the middle as a dance floor. Around a dozen round tables are neatly arranged, and the upper bunk is decorated with The fringed tablecloths, the swaying lights on the candlesticks, reflect the silver tableware and well-matched flowers, and the long tables on both sides are filled with exquisite food and champagne that can be used freely. Every small gap is filled with flowers and embellished, which is very beautiful.

Approaching those round tables, Wei Mu realized that what Ji Tangtang told him to just find a place to sit was not feasible.There is a small silver nameplate on the back of each chair, with the name of the guest printed on it, and it is not easy to sit down just by finding a seat.There were some high stools beside the bar, but Wei Mu didn't want to go there, it was too conspicuous under the light.

He looked around the hall, and the only place he could sit was a few plastic chairs placed against the wall at the far end.The plastic chairs might not be too shabby when taken out alone, but placed in such a well-decorated banquet hall, they look a bit out of tune and shabby.Wei Mu went over to have a look, and confirmed that there was no nameplate on it, and you could sit wherever you wanted.

He sat down on one of the chairs. It was at the very edge of the hall, right next to the side door of the villa. Few people passed by, and it was so dim that even the lights couldn't reach it.Sitting on a chair, Wei Mu looked at the bustle under the lights not far away. Those noises seemed to be separated from him by a barrier. He watched it as if he was watching a distant and untouchable movie.

He didn't know whether Ji Tangtang was really too busy to forget these arrangements, or did it on purpose, but it didn't matter, Wei Mu thought, it would be best if no one noticed him, and just watched Ji Tangtang from a distance without being interrupted all night. Suian, is a very good thing.
