I'm disappointed in my uncle

Chapter 11 I'm Not That Brat Anymore
Western-style receptions are more casual. In addition to setting aside a table in the center of the venue, the rest is a long dining table for drinks, and some soft and comfortable sofas are placed in every corner of the wall for guests to rest. A waiter came forward with drinks.

Xia Haoyu sat alone in a brand new dinner suit, his thick black hair was carefully arranged, and there was no joy or anger on his handsome and cold face.

Today's reception is well arranged. The crystal chandelier in the center of the venue is dazzling, making people's attention focused on the stage. There are small lights in warm colors all around, which are soft and warm, making people relax.

And although he chose a secluded place to sit, the navy blue two-button suit is really flamboyant enough. The well-cut fabric perfectly sets off his slender physique. Disaster.

A few women in evening gowns passed by with wine glasses. They were very curious, how could such a stern and handsome man sit in such a remote place. A man like him should walk around the reception and chat happily.

"Mr. Xia?" A waiter in a black uniform with a neat bun came to Xia Haoyu elegantly carrying a tray.

Seeing the person Xia Haoyu frowned slightly, he smiled reluctantly, brought a glass of champagne, and raised his glass to thank the waiter, but the uneasiness and irritability in his heart became more and more intense.

Originally, he didn't want to attend this reception, but he had no choice but to receive a call from the old man at noon, saying that there was a charity reception in the evening, and the bosses of all the major groups in City A would attend, so he had to come too.

The waiter bowed his head politely, and turned to greet other guests. Seeing Xia Haoyu's smile, the women's aura immediately changed. mood.

A bold and charming woman was about to pass by, when suddenly a tall and handsome figure appeared in front of her, holding two glasses of cocktails, with a charming smile on his lips, "This beautiful lady, would you do me a favor and have a drink with me. "

The woman raised her eyes and looked at the man opposite. The solemn suit, paired with a good shirt, was slightly wrinkled and looked lazy and elegant, with such a British flavor.

She raised her red lips, reached out to take the glass, swayed the drink in the glass, and winked like silk, "Sir, did you come back from abroad?"

The man smiled, and lightly clinked glasses with her, his clear voice was very sweet, "Yes, I lived in Los Angeles for a while before, and I just returned to China recently."

A woman in a floor-length evening dress laughed twice, "It turns out that this gentleman came back from the City of Angels, no wonder he is so eloquent."

Several other women echoed a few words, and the man responded leisurely. After a while, the laughter here attracted more gentlemen and ladies at the banquet.

They were talking and laughing with champagne in their hands. A waiter came and invited them to the center of the venue, as if a charity auction was about to start.

Everyone followed and left, but the man didn't follow. A waiter came over. He put the wine glass in his hand on his tray, smiled at him, and then looked at Xia Haoyu who was not far away.

Xia Haoyu felt that the group of men and women had left, and the uncontrollable restlessness in his heart suddenly disappeared. He was slightly relieved, and his tense nerves gradually relaxed a lot.

The man walked over and sat beside Xia Haoyu without waiting for him to speak, and said with a gentle smile, "Haoyu, you are still the same."

Xia Haoyu was not surprised when he saw that it was him, his cold face softened a little, he took a sip of the clear water beside him, and said, "Thank you for helping me out, brother."

The man sitting with Xia Haoyu is the young master of the Xia family. Xia Haosheng, who just came back from the United States recently, knows about his brother's little problem.

Xia Haocheng smiled, and wanted to reach out to pat his younger brother on the shoulder, but thinking of the surrounding occasions, or something else, he suddenly put it down again, and said flatly, "Why are you being so polite?"

Xia Haoyu looked at Xia Haosheng who was facing him, he wanted to laugh, but he couldn't, maybe the two brothers had been separated for four years, and even he had forgotten how they communicated before.

The two brothers were silent for a while, and bursts of applause came from the banquet stage. I don't know who took a picture of a jade carving, and the host was thanking the buyer on behalf of a charity.

Xia Haoyu only looked away after a quick glance, but he realized something and hurriedly looked over.

Xia Haocheng noticed Xia Haoyu's abnormality, and he followed suit to look over. When he saw that gentle and pleasant figure, he felt a sudden sadness in his heart. Perhaps the problem between the two brothers was not that simple.

He calmed down, and said lightly, "The Du family is the organizer of this charity gala. Uncle Du and Aunt Du are all here, so Yanli must accompany her."

After hearing this, Xia Haoyu smiled lightly, but there was no trace of a smile in his voice, "It's just a meeting between the parents of both parties. Uncle Du has come up with so many tricks."

Xia Haosheng paused for a moment, then smiled unnaturally, "Haoyu, what do you mean by that? Uncle Du was more than a month ago for today's charity gala..."

"Really," Xia Haoyu interrupted coldly, "Isn't Uncle Du holding this charity auction so that you and Yanli can find an excuse to hide the truth? How many pairs of eyes are staring at Xia Du's family now? I think you, brother, know better than me."

Looking back at his elder brother, seeing that he had nothing to say, Xia Haoyu sneered again, "What? The old man came over today, did you set a date for your engagement? If so, I will give you a big gift at that time!"

Xia Haocheng's eyes darkened, and he didn't dare to look at him directly. He felt somewhat guilty about his younger brother, "You...you know, yes, it was father who told you?"

Xia Haoyu laughed at himself, "These are just my guesses. Two days ago, Silan called me and said that you and Yanli came back. Back then, you went abroad to Los Angeles for your own ideals regardless of everything. Yanli I also gave up everything to follow you, you have been abroad for four years, and when you come back suddenly, you are not talking about marriage, are you still a tired bird returning to its nest?"

Xia Haoyu's words were harsh, and Xia Haocheng clenched his hands on his knees, but he couldn't say a word of rebuttal.

Xia Haoyu's beautiful eyes kept looking at the man who was one year older than him, and said with a sneer, "I thought the Xia Group's stock listing was imminent, and my father wanted to increase his popularity through the marriage of the Du Xia family. , but looking at it now, Uncle Du doesn't seem to be willing to do this, in my opinion, the engagement ceremony between you and Yanli can only be held under the condition that both Du Xia and his family can benefit from it."

Xia Haocheng frowned slightly, not because of Xia Haoyu's words, but because he felt that his disguise was so vulnerable these days, and everything was seen through after only one word with Haoyu, but he was still a little anxious It was embarrassing, but at the end, it was relieved.

Just like what his father said, Haoyu is no longer that young boy who just chases after him.

He was silent for a while, then smiled faintly, regained his composure before, and said calmly, "You are right, I will be the first to notify you on the day of the engagement, and, occasionally, I will go home for dinner Well, Mom and Dad miss you."

Xia Haoyu was taken aback by his brother's sudden change, and what he wanted to say later was stuck in his throat, unable to go up or down, so he finally got up and said he was going back.

Anyway, he showed his face, and everyone who should say hello has gone to say hello, and the old man can't say anything about him!
