Chapter 11 Birthday Banquet

On Wednesday evening, Jiang Bei took the cake and went to the same villa where he lived before. When he arrived at the door, he was stopped by the guard who asked for an invitation letter. Jiang Bei called Shen Munan.

During the waiting time, Jiangbei met many high-class Mr. Gui and Mrs. Gui. They should all be friends in Shen's father's business field, or celebrities and wealthy businessmen in the same profit chain. Most of these people have one thing in common, wearing Pay attention to good temperament, any action can show the financial resources and self-cultivation behind them.

After a while, Shen Munan came out from the inside. The guard smiled and nodded at him, but he ignored him and looked at Jiangbei with a smile on his face.

Looking at each other, Jiang Bei lowered his head unnaturally, shaking the cake in his hand twice.

Shen Munan wanted to take the cake, but Jiang Bei caught sight of the hand that was stretched out out of the corner of his eye, thinking that this person was going to engage in those ambiguous little things again, his right hand retracted immediately, and carried the cake behind his back.

"Why are the two men holding hands?" Jiang Bei muttered.

This high-strung alert response pleased Shen Munan, a faint smile flitted across his lips, and his voice was a little helpless, "Let's go."

Jiang Bei followed him into the villa. He hasn't been back for eight years. Many things in his memory have changed. The chrysanthemums in the yard have been replaced by osmanthus flowers. The place where the swing chairs were placed is now replaced by a rockery. There is a Juanjuan stream.

As Jiang Bei expected, Shen Munan's mother was dressed in gorgeous clothes and accompanied Shen's father like a butterfly. She was always smiling, but when she saw the man next to her son, her pink face suddenly disappeared. changed color.

Father Shen was greeting his friends, but he didn't see Jiang Bei.

His mother walked over swayingly, glanced around Jiangbei up and down, and asked mockingly, "Who is this?"

Jiang Bei was not polite either, and replied blankly: "Mom, it's me."

Shen's mother hated the word "Little Mom" ​​the most, her face turned pale with anger, and she turned to Shen Munan, "Why did you bring him in?"

"This is my business." With a stern face, Shen Munan pulled Jiang Bei away from the living room full of guests.

The two went to the second floor, the window sill in the corridor was still there, Shen Munan took off his suit jacket and sat on it directly, and patted the empty space beside him.

This time, Jiang Bei didn't twist as much as last time, but imitated Shen Munan's movements, took off his coat and sat down.

Outside the window was the twilight, and Jiang Bei smiled comfortably. When he was very young, he always tricked Shen Munan to put his coat on the window sill, and then the two of them sat on it. clothes are so dirty.

"Shen Munan."

"Ok?"

"You were really stupid when you were young. You believed everything I said." Jiang Bei was immersed in memories, his eyes gradually brightened.

Shen Munan twitched the corners of his mouth and sneered slightly, "Really?"

"Do you remember the big monster outside the window, hey, if you don't dare to sleep in the middle of the night, you have to come to my room. I won't let you in, so you just cry at the top of your throat, you are so timid."

"Then," Shen Munan paused, rubbed the back of Jiang Bei's hand lightly, and said meaningfully, "Just put your arms around me and sleep."

Jiang Bei moved to the side, and said vaguely: "Little child, it's okay to sleep with your arms."

Shen Munan smiled and said nothing, was silent for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Let's go, go down and meet Dad."

The guests are almost all here, Shen's father is looking for Shen Munan all over the place, he is over sixty years old, it's time to enjoy the blessings, after Zhongsheng has such a big business, he will give full power to his son, today is said to be a birthday party, but in fact the main thing is I want to introduce Shen Munan to the shareholders of the group and friends in the mall.

"Your father is looking for you." Shen's mother stood in front of Shen Munan, and straightened his suit for him, "There will be an opening speech later, so you stand next to your father."

After finishing speaking, she raised her eyelids and glanced at Jiangbei again, "Well, he shouldn't have come today."

Shen Munan looked calm, turned his head and said to Jiang Bei, "I'll come as soon as I go."

After the person left, his mother became even more unscrupulous. Those critical eyes were about to see a hole in Jiang Bei's whole body.

"Mom, you are over 40 this year, you look really young."

Shen's mother didn't show a good face, "Don't call me 'little mother', what is your relationship with our family, you don't have any idea?"

Jiang Bei didn't bother to talk to her, turned around and left, planning to go to the yard to take a breath.

Behind the rockery, there is a couple of men and women in shadows. The woman is almost hanging on the man's body. From time to time, she whispers a few times. The elegant place with mountains and rivers has become a place for them to flirt. They really know how to choose a place .

Jiang Bei felt quite boring, and turned to leave, but the phone rang suddenly.

Immediately afterwards, the two of them remained silent, and the man leaned out from behind in three steps in parallel.

"Young Master Chen." The woman muttered.

The man named Chen Shao smiled frivolously and coaxed the woman, "You go in first."

The bell was still ringing, Jiang Bei answered the phone under the gaze of the man, it was his mother calling.

"I'm not at home right now, no, I'm eating out, you don't need to bring it over, I'll get it when I go home tomorrow, okay, go dance quickly."

Even though it was already dark, Chen Xinyu immediately recognized Jiang Bei as the man in the photo.He walked over and tried to strike up a conversation.

"You were eavesdropping just now?" The tone was extremely light, as expected of a man who lived among thousands of flowers.

"Passing by, didn't hear anything."

Chen Xinyu smiled, "What's your name?"

Jiang Bei didn't reply. He looked up at the sky for a while, and muttered, "The moon is quite round today."

Chen Xinyu followed his gaze and looked up, Jiang Bei took the opportunity to walk away swaggeringly.

Strolling around in the courtyard, guessing that the opening speech inside was almost over, Jiang Bei went into the living room again bored, wondering why he came today, this kind of celebrity party where everyone is pretending, he alone Small townspeople who engage in art come here to join in the fun.

Uninteresting, quite uninteresting.

Someone grabbed his hand from behind, and Jiang Bei didn't need to guess that it was Shen Munan.

"Where did you go just now?" A clean and deep male voice sounded from behind.

Jiang Bei withdrew his hand, "Turn around casually."

"Go say hi to my dad."

Jiang Bei looked at Shen's father, who socialized freely among the guests. Time had not treated him harshly in these years, and he looked only fifty, while his mother was aging day by day in the city life.

Jiang Bei sighed and said, "Forget it, I think your dad is very busy today, I want to go back first."

Shen Munan blocked his way, with indifferent eyes, "Come with me."

In the end, Jiang Bei was still forced by Shen Munan to meet his father. He hadn't seen him for eight years, and Shen's father was somewhat stunned.

"Dad," Jiang Bei froze for a moment, and immediately changed his words, "Uncle."

Father Shen lowered his eyes slightly, and shook the red wine glass in his hand, "Mu Nan brought you here."

"Ah."

"All these years, you don't blame uncle, do you?"

Jiang Bei was startled, but said nothing.

"Munan, you can stay with him, I still have guests over there."

Jiang Bei's embarrassment was mostly because of feeling sorry for her mother, things are different, this fucking ex-husband is now a shrewd and sophisticated businessman, I'm afraid the few conversations he had with him just now felt like a waste of precious time.

Shen Munan took two glasses of wine from the waiter's tray, and handed one to Jiang Bei.

Jiang Bei raised his head and drank it all, looking left and right, "Why didn't you see Mr. Wang?"

"Wang Xinyi?"

"Ah."

Shen Munan's expression was calm, "Maybe he didn't come."

"It's fine if you don't come, Mr. Wang is not suitable for this place." Jiang Bei glanced at Father Shen, who was at ease among the guests, and said to himself, "Is your father going to enter the literary and art circle?"

Shen Munan heard the sarcasm in the words, and only twitched the corners of his mouth, "Maybe."

The living room was full of extravagance and grandeur, with cups of wine mixed together, laughter and laughter, decent people doing decent things, Jiang Bei felt awkward, and was stunned for a while, ready to leave.

Shen Munan remained calm, only occasionally shaking the red wine glass in his hand.

At this time, Chen Xinyu came here with his female companion.

"Young Master Shen," Chen Xinyu squinted at Jiangbei, "won't you introduce me?"

Jiang Bei saw that the man and woman in front of him were exactly the couple who had sex behind the rockery just now.

The female companion loves to show up, but Shen Munan didn't speak, she spoke first, "I think Young Master Shen's eyes are almost glued together, this is the first time I've seen him like this."

Shen Munan took a sip of his wine and looked at her coldly, "First time? How many times have you met me?"

Chen Xinyu noticed something was wrong, and thought that this aunt really dared to pull out her teeth. Among them, Shen Munan had the most sinister temperament and the most unpredictable, but he was a sympathetic person, so he immediately pulled his female partner behind him and smiled apologetically. Said: "Munan, don't talk to her, she drinks too much and her mouth is dirty, I'll clean her up when I get back."

The female companion hid behind Chen Xinyu in fear.

Jiang Bei seemed to stay out of the matter, and had no interest in the conversation of this group of people at all. When the cheating couple left, he turned to Shen Munan, "I've seen your father too, I'm going back."

Shen Munan's eyes were dark, he pursed his lips, "Come upstairs with me, I have something to tell you."

Jiang Bei guessed what he wanted to say, and retreated a little, but finally compromised.

This time, the two of them didn't sit on the window sill, but went directly to the study room. This study room used to be Jiang Bei's bedroom, and he had slept here for more than ten years.

"Two months after you moved out, the bedroom was changed."

"Oh." Jiangbei understands the truth that the past cannot be traced back.

The study door closed with a "click", Shen Munan took off his coat and threw it on the sofa, and loosened his tie casually. The overhead light shone on him, making him look lazy and handsome.

"That person was your friend just now?"

Shen Munan raised his eyelids and stared at Jiang Bei, and it took him a long time to hum from his throat.

The scene behind the rockery flashed in Jiang Bei's mind, and he said disdainfully, "Your friend really knows how to play."

"Shen Xianbei, how many times have you talked?" Shen Munan asked suddenly.

Accidentally, Jiang Bei fell into the deep pool. He lowered his head and said, "Just once."

Shen Munan slowly approached him, walked up to him, and said in a deep voice: "Raise your head and look at me."

Jiang Bei did as he did, and his eyes fell on Shen Munan's face.

Now that things have happened, he has to admit that if a big mistake is made in the future for this inexplicable beginning, then he, Jiangbei, will also have to be responsible.Strange, he couldn't figure out where he got the Tao, where he got the magic.

"Try with me, okay?"

Rare tenderness spewed out from Shen Munan's thin lips, half forcing, half coaxing, his brain also stopped functioning instantly, "Boom—" like a building falling.

"I have to go back and figure it out first, I, I haven't figured it out yet."

Shen Munan gently wrapped his arms around his waist, pressed his forehead against his, and took another two sips from his lips, "Then I'll wait for your reply tomorrow."

Jiang Bei grew up so big, he had never been teased like this before, his heart was pounding, and his throat rolled, "Tomorrow? Okay, okay."

Shen Munan was very satisfied with Jiang Bei's reaction, and smiled with his lips curled up.

That night, Jiang Bei suffered from insomnia again.
