Forgive me for a long time

This Christmas banquet was organized by Yu Xiao, and it was held in Yu Xiao's private villa. The guests were all friends who had a good relationship with Yu Xiao and Yu Yi. In fact, they were looking for an opportunity for young people to get together.After all, Chinese people are more used to celebrating festivals like New Year's Day and Spring Festival with their families.

Gu Ao first took Min Shaoqi to the shopping mall to buy clothes. Gu Ao had a store that he would always go to, and he had brought Min Shaoqi to buy clothes in these stores before, so he naturally knew which stores were more suitable for Min Shaoqi.And this time the money for buying clothes is still paid by Gu Ao. After all, with Min Shaoqi's salary, if he wants to buy a suitable set of clothes in these stores, he probably needs to borrow money from him for several months.

After changing the clothes, Gu Ao took Min Shaoqi to the barber shop to have a look, otherwise it really wouldn't match the clothes.

So when the two of them arrived at Yu Xiao's villa, everything that should come was basically there.

As soon as Gu Ao entered, Yu Xiao, the host, greeted him.

"Third Young Master came late enough." Yu Xiao said with a smile.

Even if all the people who came today were friends, it was still a formal banquet. Yu Xiao wore a lavender evening dress with touching breasts, looking charming and charming.

"Has it already started?" Gu Ao asked with a smile.

"It will officially start in 5 minutes. I wonder if I will have the honor to invite you to the first dance?" Yu Xiao smiled.Among these people, Gu Ao's social status is undoubtedly the highest. Gu Ao must come to this banquet. It seems that he is giving Yu Xiao face, but in fact he is giving Yu Yi face.If Gu Ao can be invited to dance for the first time, it will be a disguised fact that the relationship between the Yu family and the Gu family is very stable, which will also benefit the future development of the Yu family.

"Of course." Gu Ao nodded without hesitation.

Yu Xiao smiled even better, then turned her gaze to Min Shaoqi who was behind Gu Ao, and said with the same smile, "Come on, welcome."

"Merry Christmas." Min Shaoqi said.

He knew Yu Xiao when he was with Gu Ao before, and he didn't have much contact with her, but Yu Xiao is a nice person, and she doesn't have the airs of a big lady, and she speaks and does things very straightforwardly. He also admires such a girl.

"Merry Christmas." Yu Xiao replied with a smile, then looked at Min Shaoqi, and said: "This suit suits you very well. I haven't seen you in the past few years, but you are getting better and better. If you didn't ask the third young master before , I should invite you to the first dance."

Min Shaoqi is not stupid, so he naturally understands that it is true that Yu Xiao praised him for being good-looking, and that it is false to ask him to dance the first dance, it is just politeness.It is impossible for him to climb up the pole.

"Miss Yu is getting more and more beautiful." Min Shaoqi smiled.If these words were spoken by other people, it would probably make people feel perfunctory or flattering, but Min Shaoqi has actually lived a very monotonous life in recent years, and has not had much contact with society, so he still retains some pure and clean temperament. There is more innocence and less sophistication, so people feel that what they say is sincere.

"You can really talk." Yu Xiao said with a smile: "There are no outsiders today, we are all friends, so don't be cautious, just take whatever you want. You are not allowed to go back until you are full."

"Okay." Min Shaoqi nodded obediently.

Min Shaoqi could sense that from the moment he entered the door, there were a lot of surprised eyes cast on him. These people probably knew that he was Gu Ao's ex-lover, and they broke up later. Regardless of whether they knew the reason for their breakup, he The appearance of is undoubtedly unexpected to these people, and there may even be more other guesses.

The music sounded, and the middle of the dance floor was emptied. Gu Ao stretched out his hand to Yu Xiao, and Yu Xiao put his hand on Gu Ao's, and the two stepped onto the dance floor.

Seeing Gu Ao and Yu Xiao dancing together, Min Shaoqi didn't feel jealous. He knew that Yu Xiao didn't have that kind of intention for Gu Ao, otherwise, based on the relationship between Yu Yi and Gu Ao, there should have been signs of matching up.

After a dance is over, other men also invite the ladies at the banquet to step onto the dance floor, adding a little romance and excitement to this Christmas banquet.

As soon as Gu Ao came out of the dance floor, Yu Yi called him away, leaving Min Shaoqi alone with nothing to do.No one talked to him, only sporadic eyes still stayed on him, as if they were trying to figure out what was going on between him and Gu Ao.

Not wanting to stand here in embarrassment, Min Shaoqi found a corner to eat.

Because the banquet is held at home, there are not many types of dishes. There are chefs who cook in the kitchen, and then the servants bring them out and put them on the dining table. Guests can take them if they want to eat.

Min Shaoqi wasn't hungry, but he didn't want to face other people's probing eyes.The banquet has just officially started, and no one wants to eat, so there is only Min Shaoqi in the rest area at the dining table.He can feel that the people here don't like him, and this kind of rejection may come from many sources, some may already know why he and Gu Ao broke up, so they don't want to talk to him; I am proud to develop, but now I meet someone who stands in the way; some people may just not want to chat with ordinary people like him who have no background. After all, for people who value profits, this is no different from wasting time...

Although no one cares about Min Shaoqi, the servants of the Yu family did not neglect Min Shaoqi. They would take the initiative to ask him what he would like to eat, ask the chef to make it for him, and would also replace his wine glass with a new one after it was empty... However, this kind of thoughtfulness did not conceal Min Shaoqi's incompatibility with the people here. Few people sincerely welcome him, but they have to tolerate him staying here.

When he and Gu Ao happened to be together, Gu Ao also took him to several such banquets and introduced many people to him.At that time, those people were warm, flattering, and friendly to him... But now, they are still familiar people, but their attitudes are completely different.He can understand those who complain about Gu Ao, but the others... still make him a little uncomfortable...

"Do you mind if I sit here?"

After Min Shaoqi finished his second glass of champagne, a male voice sounded from behind him.Min Shaoqi turned his head and saw that it was Huo Jing.

"You can do whatever you want." Min Shaoqi said to Huo Jing.

Huo Jing sat next to Min Shaoqi and asked, "Why don't you sit down?" He was naturally referring to Gu Ao's side.

Min Shaoqi twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "I didn't have dinner, I want to eat something." The reason for coming to the banquet just for dinner is somewhat unreasonable, but it's better than embarrassingly saying that those people may not welcome me.

Huo Jing didn't expose him either, she just said: "Sister Yu hired a very good chef this time, eat more."

"Yes." Min Shaoqi nodded.He originally thought that Huo Jing would say something to him. After all, when Yu Yi saw him again, his attitude was also very cold. He didn't expect that Huo Jing would be the same as before, not very close, but not alienated.

The servant came over to change Min Shaoqi's champagne again, but Huo Jing stopped him and said, "Bring a bottle of red wine here."

"Okay." The servant responded, and soon brought a bottle of red wine that had just been opened.

Huo Jing said: "It was just flown in this morning, try it." Saying that, he poured a glass for Min Shaoqi.

Min Shaoqi actually doesn't know how to taste red wine, but since Huo Jing recommended it, it must not be bad, so he took a sip, nodded and said: "It's okay." Anyway, it's good if it's not difficult for him to drink.

Huo Jing smiled, "You should drink some wine in this kind of atmosphere."

"Hmm..." In fact, he seemed to have nothing else to do besides eating and drinking.

After drinking half a glass with Min Shaoqi, Huo Jing asked, "Are you getting along with the third young master?" As one of Gu Ao's best friends, he can ask some questions directly.

Min Shaoqi shook his head, facing Huo Jing, there was no need for him to lie.

Huo Jing refilled half a glass for him without asking any more questions.

Not long after, Yu Xiao came over, put one hand on the table, the other on Huo Jing's shoulder, and said with a smile, "Why don't you take Shao Qi over there?"

"He wants to eat something." Huo Jing replied, this answer was considered to give Min Shaoqi face.

Yu Xiao patted Huo Jing on the shoulder and said, "Okay, go over there and watch Yu Yi, don't let him drink too much. I'll eat with Shao Qi for a while."

Huo Jing knew that Yu Xiao must have something to say to Min Shaoqi, so she got up and gave up her seat, said something to Min Shaoqi, and then went to Yu Yi's side.

Yu Xiao asked someone to bring over two pieces of grilled lamb chops. Whether she ate it or not, at least she was having dinner with Min Shaoqi.

"Does the food taste okay?" Yu Xiao asked.

"It's delicious." Min Shaoqi said, and then said: "Thank you for inviting me."

"Isn't this what it should be?" Yu Xiao said.In fact, he was just tentatively asking Gu Ao to bring Min Shaoqi along. If the two of them didn't have much contact, Gu Ao would definitely refuse.But I didn't expect that Gu Ao really agreed on Min Shaoqi's behalf, and even brought him here. It can be seen that the relationship between these two people may not be what others thought. Maybe...Min Shaoqi still has a chance.

After eating a piece of lamb chops, Yu Xiao asked, "How are you and Third Young Master?"

Min Shaoqi was very clear in his mind, no one present didn't care about this issue.It's just that some people asked him and he was willing to answer, while some...he wouldn't answer at all.And Yu Xiao, like Huo Jing, belongs to the category that he is willing to mention a few words.

"It's nothing much..." It's not that he couldn't bear to say that he was serving as Gu Ao's servant, but he didn't know if Gu Ao was willing to tell the outside world, so he could only vaguely pass it on. If Gu Ao was willing to say it, Yu Xiao and the others would sooner or later will know.

Yu Xiao looked at Min Shaoqi, smiled, and said with a bit of seriousness: "Everyone here, whether out of interests or feelings, hopes to have a relationship with Neng Sanshao. But I know very well that interests may These people can get a little bit of light if they work hard, but the relationship is definitely useless. You are the only one here who has had an intimate relationship with San Shao, and he is still willing to bring it here, so there are some things that you have more hope than them. "

Min Shaoqi looked at Yu Xiao with complicated eyes, and said after a while, "Miss Yu, I'm actually the one who has the least chance here."

Yu Xiao rubbed his hair with a smile, like a caring big sister, "As long as you know your mistakes and can correct them, don't cheat on you, everything else is fine."

"Miss Yu thinks highly of me." Min Shaoqi really didn't have the slightest confidence in himself.

Yu Xiao smiled and said, "How will you know if you don't try?"

Min Shaoqi fell silent—try?How is he going to try?Gu Ao would never give him a chance to try.

At this time, a man came to invite Yu Xiao to dance, Yu Xiao readily accepted, asked Min Shaoqi to eat more, and entered the dance floor with the man.

Min Shaoqi looked towards Gu Ao. At this time, Gu Ao was surrounded by a group of people, who seemed to be talking about something interesting, and did not notice Min Shaoqi's side.

Min Shaoqi withdrew his gaze, picked up the wine in the glass and drank it in one sip - Gu Ao has never cared about him since he entered here.It can be seen that Gu Ao didn't pay much attention to him, he was still the most out of place and nobody cared about him in the whole banquet.

Before he knew it, Min Shaoqi drank most of the bottle of red wine, and he was also a little dizzy, his sense of taste seemed to be numb, and he just continued to pour himself wine according to his mood, as if it was just an ordinary drink to him.

Huo Jing was the first to find out that Min Shaoqi was drunk, and immediately told Gu Ao.

Gu Ao frowned, and the people around him also quieted down.

Looking at Min Shaoqi who was sitting there motionless from a distance, Gu Ao got up and walked over.At this moment, Min Shaoqi seemed to be drunk, staring blankly at one place, expressionless like a doll.

Gu Ao picked up the red wine bottle on the table and found it was empty.Min Shaoqi is not particularly good at drinking, let alone this bottle, he will be drunk after half a bottle.

"Why are you drinking so much?" Gu Ao frowned even more tightly.

Min Shaoqi raised his head and looked at him blankly. His eyes were wet and he seemed a little wronged. After a while, he whispered: "Gu Ao..."

Gu Ao closed his eyes, took a long breath, and lowered his voice a bit, and said, "Can I go?"

Min Shaoqi reacted dully for a while, then nodded.Maybe this action gave him a headache, so he lowered his head and rubbed it again.

Gu Ao took his hand and said, "Let's go."

Min Shaoqi stood up and asked stupidly, "Where are you going?"

"Go home!" Gu Ao said, greeted Yu Xiao, and took Min Shaoqi away.

A group of people in the villa looked at each other in surprise or surprise, but in the end they didn't dare to comment.Only Yu Xiao and Huo Jing looked clear and shook their heads helplessly and understandingly.
