Chapter 5 The Ball

On the afternoon of August 17, Mu Xiaofeng, the son of Yi Huan's elder sister Yi Xin, came to pick up Yi Huan. Today he was Yi Huan's dance partner. Yi Haoran has not come back yet when he went out to make friends. In order to match Yi Huan's green skirt, he was wearing a light green shirt inside, a black suit, black suit pants, and a white bow tie echoed the white doll collar on Yi Huan's skirt.

Mu Xiaofeng walked to the door with a flower, "Auntie, can you set off?"

"Yes." Yi Huan walked out of it with a smile.

Mu Xiaofeng whistled and handed the flowers to her, "Give the flowers to my most beautiful aunt."

"Thank you." Yi Huan took the flower and stopped it in his ear, "How is it?"

"It's so beautiful." Mu Xiaofeng smiled and bent his arms.

Yi Huan smiled and held his arm, and the aunt and nephew walked out.

When the aunt and nephew went to the main hall, they saw the Yi family gathered together to drink tea and chat. Yi Huan's third brother Yi Qing smiled and said, "My sister, you are wearing this flower well, which is the finishing touch."

Mu Xiaofeng immediately took credit, "I gave the flowers to my aunt."

"Wait, this flower?" Li Ying came over and carefully identified it, "Xiaofeng, where did you pick this flower?"

"In the warm room." Mu Xiaofeng replied.

Li Ying twitched his lips, "Xiaofeng, this is the orchid carefully cultivated by your second aunt."

"Big cousin, you are in trouble." Yi Cheng is the second son of Yi Huan's elder brother Yi Ou and said gloatingly.

"No need to remind me, I understand." Mu Xiaofeng cried with a sad face, "Grandma, help me!"

Yi's mother smiled and comforted him, "It's okay, it's okay, when your second aunt comes back, I will say I picked it."

"Thank you grandma." Mu Xiaofeng stepped forward and hugged Yi's mother.

Yi Huan took the flowers down and handed them to Li Ying, "San Sister-in-law, please pack the flowers. When tomorrow, I will make the flowers into specimens and hand them over to my second sister-in-law."

Lee Young took over the flower, "Okay."

Mu Xiaofeng drove Yi Yan's car and took Yi Huan to Chen Mansion. The Chen family lived in a small Western-style house in a Western-style garden, unlike the Yi family, and still lived in a large Chinese-style mansion. Yi Huan and Mu Xiaofeng arrived at Chen Mansion at 5:30 pm. It was not too early. Huang Lan and others had already arrived. The dance party was all young people from all families.

There are several long dining tables on the left side of the Western-style living room of Chen Mansion, covered with water-red tablecloths, vases with flowers, biscuits, cakes and other snacks. The hall is empty to make a dance floor, and sofas and chairs are placed around the living room for guests to rest. The servants in uniforms carry wine, fruit and juice and walk back and forth among the guests.

Mu Xiaofeng brought a glass of juice to Yi Huan, and he asked for a glass of champagne. A man in a suit with brandy and stripes came over and raised his glass, "Miss Four, Mr. Mu."

"Zhang Erye." Yi Huan and Mu Xiaofeng called back politely.

The man in the suit asked with a smile: "I wonder if I have the honor to invite the fourth lady to dance the first dance?"

"Sorry, I already have a dance partner." Yi Huan smiled and declined, unwilling to have any interaction with this romantic second-class Zhang.

"The first dance, shouldn't Mr. Zhang Wu ask Miss Chen Wu to dance?" Mu Xiaofeng said with a wicked smile. The original wife of the second master of the Zhang family, Zhang Pinji, died of dysfunction at the beginning of the year, and got into trouble with Chen Huiping. Although Zhang Pinji's father is the current president and military commander, and he holds heavy troops, Chen Huiping is still young and full of fantasy about love and is more resistant to filling in the room for Zhang Pinji. This marriage has not been completed.

Zhang Pinji coveted Yi Huan's beauty. It was because the Yi family was also powerful in Jizhou City that he did not dare to force the person to be raped into the mansion. But even though he knew that he could not get involved, he was still lustful. Every time he saw her, he wanted to tease her, and wanted to let Yi Huan be fooled voluntarily. Now that he was blocked by Mu Xiaofeng, he could only shrugg and walk away with his cup.

Yi Huan and Mu Xiaofeng walked over, greeted Huang Lan and others, and chatted. Wu Liming followed Lan Hai from outside with Lan family’s eldest son Lan Yang. Wu Liming and Lan Yang, the second son of Lan family, were classmates. In order to participate in this dance, Wu Liming used this relationship.

Lan Hai introduced Wu Liming to his friends. Wu Liming politely chatted with them, looking for Yi Huan in the crowd out of the corner of his eyes. Soon, he found Yi Huan who was chatting with others, and also saw Mu Xiaofeng sitting next to her with a small bag for her. He didn't know Mu Xiaofeng, but saw Yi Huan's hand on Mu Xiaofeng's arm and frowned. Who is the man? She is a married person, how can she be so close to other men?

Wu Liming had forgotten that he and Yi Huan had broken off the engagement, and still regarded himself as a fiancé. Yi Huan didn't know Wu Liming's thoughts at all, and even if she knew, she would sneer. She was telling Huang Lan and others about the story in "The Fables of John Guy".

"Hey hey hey." Zheng Yuhong slapped Huang Lan's arm excitedly.

Huang Lan brushed away her hand, "What are you doing?"

"Where is that one, that one." Zheng Yuhong pointed to the door and said.

Everyone looked at what she pointed and saw Yu Yanping, a three-girl of the Yu family in Jizhou City, who was as famous as Chen Huiping, holding her. The handsome man they met at Donglaishun Restaurant a few days ago. He was not wearing a long gown, a straight black suit, a white shirt and a black bow tie. His eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, elegant and elegant, and his every move showed his nobleness.

Yu Yanping led the man to know other socialites and young masters. Zheng Yuhong looked at him with a look, "Do you think Yu Yanping will bring him over to say hello to us?" Although Yu Yanping is only five years older than Yi Huan and the other two, it seems that he is two generations. In addition, Yu Yanping's reputation is not very good and there are not many contacts.

"You are anxious, you can go over and introduce yourself." Yi Huan said in a narrow voice.

"I don't want it, that's so shameless." Zheng Yuhong said pouting.

"Cousin, cousin, there are also handsome men here. Take a look, please don't ignore it, okay?" Zheng Yuhong's cousin Wang Tao is her fixed dance partner. Huang Lan's dance partner is her nephew Huang Sichao, and Zeng Shaowei's dance partner is her second brother Zeng Qianhua.

Zheng Yuhong gave him a blank look, "You are so big, I can't ignore it even if you want to."

Although he coveted the beauty of the man, he was a young lady after all, with a thin face. Yu Yanping was not interested in these little sisters, and she did not bring anyone here, nor did they go over and take the initiative to get in touch.

The lights were on, the music started, and the dance officially began. The three sisters of Chen Huiping came down from the second floor. Chen Huiping wore a big red printed satin chicken-collared skirt and a string of pearl necklaces as big as a thumb, which looked very gorgeous. Her two sisters, Chen Huifu and Chen Huirong, were wearing blue skirts and the other in orange skirts. The same printed satin, were slightly inferior to Chen Huiping in terms of appearance and temperament.

Zhang Pinji walked forward, bowed gracefully, and stretched out his right hand; Chen Huiping smiled and put her hand in his palm, slid into the dance floor with him, and used a tango with a strong rhythm as the opening dance to drive the atmosphere; the guests watched the dance next to him, and some people praised or applauded.
