Chapter 60 The storm of the banquet
On the first floor of the dazzlingly lit Chalia's house, in a corner of this lively hall, the few people who were playing cards were silent.
Mila's face seemed to have a dyeing shop, and the red, green and green all mixed together, making Allen worried whether she would be angry the next moment.
But what he expected was that after such a quiet and awkward atmosphere lingered for a while, Mila actually spoke first.
"Chalia, I'm sorry, I shouldn't say such things to your friends." Mira said as she looked at Chalia's sincere apology.
"I'm just too worried about you to do this. Can you forgive me?"
An atmosphere as stagnant as ice began to flow, and the invisible barrier also disappeared a lot, but it could still be felt.
Charlia's face began to ease. She was not a stingy person at all. Her personality was more gentle and gentle, and the kind of quietness like a good wife and mother. To put it bluntly, she was a girl with a very powerful wife.
If Mila hadn't said something too much before, she wouldn't have said such heavy words at all. She herself would have been a person who wouldn't lose her temper.
Yun Kaiyu Ji, and after learning from Tianqing, it was probably just like this. Danny and Violet, who were sitting beside him, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. They had been worried about it after Charia got angry before, but they didn't know how to dissuade them, so they could only worry about it.
However, Allen was very satisfied with their performance. After all, from the other party's actions and expressions, it can be seen that the other party attaches great importance to Chalia and this friendship very much.
However, Allen's eyes quietly swept across Mira's face, who seemed to have admitted his mistake. His originally sharp chin and thin lips seemed to have become softer because of the grievance and repentance at this time, and even the mean expression on his face and extremely sharp eyebrows became much gentler.
Alan looked at the other person's performance and showed a gentle smile on his face, as if he didn't care about the other person's actions, or accepted the other person's apology. However, in his sixth sense, he could clearly feel the malice of extreme hatred and resentment.
Allen couldn't help but sneer in his heart. He was really good at acting.
Maybe it was the previous defeat that made the other party cautious, and even the disgust deep in his eyes was restrained and would not be revealed. But she didn't know that her malice that she could not hide would still expose her disguise.
"Okay, OK, today is Charlia's birthday after all, everyone is happy." Violet started a new topic, as if he wanted to turn over the previous incident, and Danny also echoed.
Allen sighed in his heart. The two girls were thinking about others, but they didn't know that the other party might not be really kind-hearted.
However, after this incident, even though two people were trying hard to stir up the atmosphere, the people here still did not reply to the previous lively.
Seeing this, Mira left with great excuses.
Allen couldn't help but feel respect for the other party. After all, being so good at disguising himself, letting go of himself and decisively stopping the loss when the situation is unfavorable is not something that ordinary people can do. After all, although Charia did not accept it after the other party apologized, she did not say anything serious, which itself showed some meaning.
After Mila left, the remaining few people started talking and laughing again, and the atmosphere gradually warmed up, which coincided with the hall at this time.
"Cute princess, you are the most shining pearl tonight. Please accept my gift." The young people who were originally in the middle of the hall, where the lights gathered suddenly came over and gave the prepared gift in a very polite posture.
Then, after the other party gave the gift first, the atmosphere in the entire hall became more and more popular, and people began to give gifts to Charia one after another.
Chalia couldn't help but stand up and began to deal with the other party's congratulations one by one. Even if she was reluctant, she had to do so. After all, if the other party gave gifts according to etiquette, she would also express her gratitude to the other party according to etiquette.
One by one, the guests walked to the corner of the hall to send blessings to Charia standing here. Alan and Hughes had been squeezed out of the crowd, and only Violet and Dany were left beside Charia to help maintain the situation.
"Don't you go and help?" Hughes took a glass of fruit wine in his left hand and hit Allen with his right shoulder.
"What's the name?" Allen asked back.
"Student, what do you think?" Houston replied decisively.
"You still think I'm not in trouble enough now." Allen listened to the advice of his bad friend, and refused.
"I think it's okay. Your competitors are not easy to mess with. If you don't declare sovereignty, I think your winning rate is not high." Hughes said with a smile after taking a sip of the green fruit wine in the goblet.
"Okay, today we are here to congratulate her, not to make her unhappy."
"Don't think about that kind of thing that can cause a commotion. If you do that, you won't be happy tonight." Allen replied.
"Okay, you have the final say." Hughes shrugged and put down the wine glass at hand.
...
Chalia in the crowd was also very busy at this time. She had to deal with the blessings of those who were basically unaware of, and then accurately recall the other party's name and then give a decent answer. This kind of mental energy consumption is not something that ordinary people can imagine. It is probably equivalent to dealing with the three aunts and seven aunts whom she has not seen for a long time during the Chinese New Year.
"Beautiful girl, this necklace is lucky to meet you, and you are the perfect cooperation." Cohen Harry opened his gift box in front of Charia, revealing the dazzling necklace in it, praising Charia.
"This is a glow necklace."
"Is it the latest necklace from the Jewelry Store of the Fanxing Chamber of Commerce?"
"I heard that this necklace is very expensive."
"I heard it's going to cost 5 Kimptons."
"More than that, this necklace in the northern part of the Empire has not yet begun to be released, and now it can only be ordered from the headquarters of the Fanxing Chamber of Commerce."
"Wow, Cohen is so thoughtful."
Some chattering female voices came from the crowd around them, and the feeling of surprise and envy was fully expressed in their tone.
"Thank you." Charia just smiled and said thank you, without saying anything else, and then closed the opened gift box and put it aside.
Alan, who was outside the crowd, laughed when he heard this answer.
"How can that necklace be worthy of Miss Charia's beauty?" A somewhat heroic voice came from the crowd.
"Only this kind of bracelet that symbolizes purity and sacredness can set off Miss Charia's beauty." The crowded crowd separated like a tide, and the burly and sturdy Frey Derek walked out of it, holding a small open gift box in his hand, lying in it, a necklace made of silver, which was dotted with fine golden brilliance.
The overall shape is extremely gorgeous, with a natural graceful and luxurious temperament. However, Allen was deeply complaining about it, but this bracelet didn't match Charlia's temperament.
Charlia is the kind of beautiful and peaceful time, and this bracelet is actually more suitable for the kind of daughter or lady who can be seen at a glance.
Allen couldn't help but sigh at the other party's aesthetic, and even wondered if the other party chose this gift because the necklace looked the most dazzling.
After all, the necklace chosen by Cohen Harry was a bit of a problem. Although Charlia did not show her favorite look, it was not a sin of war or a sin of jewelry.
And what this guy chose was a nouveau riche temperament.
Moreover, Alan had noticed before that when Frey Derek handed Charlia a gift, he gave Cohen Harry a wink. Although this process was extremely hidden, Alan was still noticed.
Cohen also looked at Frey's provocation on the surface, and there was a look of contempt in his eyes, as if he had seen the contempt that the gorilla who had not yet opened his wisdom was showing off.
However, Allen looked at Frey Derek quietly. Is he really that kind of stupid person who is brainless?
Chalia also expressed her gratitude to the other party as before, and then took the other party's gift politely, without any other actions, let alone taking the initiative to bring it to her.
The crowd behind gradually became sparse, as if the two of them were the finale. In other words, the big guys in that group were very clear. Whether it was Cohen or Frey, the crowd around them were consciously making way for the way.
Such behaviors are all scenes that only appear when leaders in a group, or people with great reputation appear. Since everyone can become a circle, their family background is naturally not much different.
Moreover, I found out from Charlia before that the two people did not seem to have the best family backgrounds. It is obvious that the achievements of those two people have created their leadership in that group. After all, when family backgrounds are inseparable, deciding their status in the eyes of their friends is ability.
As the two people mentioned by Mila before, they are naturally not mediocre people, so Alan expressed doubts about Frey's careless behavior.
Moreover, what he was still thinking about now was whether this woman Mira was the wingman of which of these two people. Before Alan could reveal more flaws, Chalia was already angry and he did not get more information.
"Allen, what are you thinking, leave." Hughes saw that people had begun to become rare. After walking two steps, he found that Alan was still standing there and reached out and patted Alan on the shoulder.
"Um."
"Chalia, this is my gift to you." Hughes walked forward without saying any complicated blessings. He gave his own gift concisely. Chalia happily accepted Hughes's gift and said thank you with a smile on her eyes.
For her, it was a pleasure to be able to avoid having to do that complicated and meaningless answer. Moreover, she had a very good relationship with Hughes and did not care about that superficial etiquette.
"What are you looking at? It's your turn." Hughes saw Charia accepting his gift and walked away with great gaze. He could see that although Charia was very happy now, it was not because of his gift, and the other party's expectation was also because of the person behind him.
"Well, happy birthday." Allen looked at Charia's excited expression. At this moment, he forgot all the words he had prepared before. His brain seemed to stop working in an instant. The colors of the surrounding scenes began to disappear. Everything began to collapse. The whole world was the only girl who was smiling in front of him.
