Wearing a dress, Yukinoshita Yukino looked taller than usual. Yuyama Kazuto looked down and saw that she was wearing a pair of high heels.
However, Kazuto Yuyama felt that Yukinoshita Yukino was not very suitable for this kind of dress, and he was even a little worried that the dress would suddenly slip off in front of her.
Yukinoshita Yukino is more suitable for wearing traditional Japanese kimonos, which can better show her cool and ethereal charm. However, this birthday dinner is obviously Western style, so Yukinoshita Yukino can only wear this Western dress.
Of course, no matter what, Yukinoshita Yukino looks pretty good in this dress.
"Let's go." Yukinoshita Yukino said, but after taking just a few steps, she felt stumbling, and Yushan Kazuto hurriedly supported her.
"Don't you wear high heels often?" Looking at Yukinoshita Yukino's actions, Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but ask.
Yukinoshita Yukino blinked: "This is the first time I wear something this high."
In the past, Yukinoshita Yukino had only worn high heels of about five centimeters at most, but this time she was wearing ten-centimeter stilettos, so it was normal that she felt a little unsteady when standing.
"Or... let's go back and change our shoes? There's still time." Yushan Heren said.
Yukinoshita Yukino shook her head: "It was my mother's request."
Yushan Kazuto was a little confused as to why Mrs. Yukinoshita would have such a strange request.
But it's normal to think about it. After all, the traditional dinner party requires high heels to be more than seven centimeters. Mrs. Yukinoshita should have treated this dinner as a formal banquet.
"Let me help you over there." Yushan Heren said.
Yukinoshita Yukino shook her head. If she was supported by Yushan Kazuto and walked into the banquet hall, wouldn't she make a fool of herself in front of all the guests?
"Then lend a hand?" Yushan Kazuto stretched out his right hand and stood on the left side of Yukinoshita Yukino with it raised flat.
Yukinoshita Yukino glanced at Hayama Kazuto, tried to take a few steps again, and put her hand on Hayama Kazuto's palm.
"Your hands are so cold." Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but say. He felt that touching Yukinoshita Yukino's jade hands was colder than touching an ice sculpture.
"It's congenital." Yukinoshita Yukino said softly. She didn't know why this happened, and no problems were found after going to the hospital for a check-up.
"Hurry over there." Yushan Heren said.
although
Yukinoshita Yukino's little hands were icy and a little uncomfortable, but the soft and smooth feel was still quite nice.
Yukinoshita Yukino glanced at Hayama Kazuto, as if to confirm whether there were any dirty thoughts in Hayama Kazuto's mind. After looking at him carefully for a few times, she walked away.
With the help of Yushan and others, Yukinoshita Yukino walked much more steadily, and the discomfort in her feet gradually disappeared.
……
As they entered the banquet hall, everyone's eyes were instantly focused on them. As the nominal host of the dinner, Yukinoshita Yukino's entry naturally attracted a lot of attention. However, what everyone paid more attention to was Yuyama Kazuto who was beside Yukinoshita Yukino.
The Yuyama family has always been the support of the Yukinoshita family, which is one of the reasons why the Yukinoshita family has developed rapidly in recent years. But if the relationship between the Yuyama family and the Yukinoshita family becomes closer, then I may have to re-evaluate the value of the Yukinoshita family.
Yukinoshita Yukino's mother kept staring at Yushan Kazuto, as if she saw a pig that stole her cabbage, and her eyes were filled with anger.
The expression of Yukinoshita Yukino's father was a little confused, as if he was angry but dared not speak. He had to quickly continue chatting with the person next to him to hide his true emotions.
As for Yukinoshita Haruno, she was still looking at the two of them with a smile. Beside her was Hiratsuka Shizuka, who looked a little gritting her teeth.
Chapter 769: Jingbao, don't you have a blind date today?
"I don't seem to see your two classmates in the same club." Yushan Kazuto lowered his head and whispered in Yukinoshita Yukino's ear.
"I didn't invite them." said Yukinoshita Yukino.
Yushan Kazuto blinked: "They should be your few friends, why don't you invite them over?"
Yukinoshita Yukino turned her head and glanced at Hayama Kazuto: "I think you can omit the adjective 'few'."
"Sorry." Yushan Kazuto shrugged.
The two of them walked slowly into the auditorium. As they walked forward, Yukinoshita Yukino whispered, "This banquet was organized by my mother and sister. It's not appropriate to invite them."
Yushan Kazuto looked around and realized that what he said was true. Today's banquet was more like a social gathering of political and business celebrities rather than Yukinoshita Yukino's birthday. All the guests were evergreens in Chiba's political circles and celebrities in the business world.
The family background of Hikigaya Hachiman and Yuigahama Yui is obviously somewhat incompatible with this banquet.
Even if everyone treats them equally, they will feel significant pressure from all sides, and it is right not to invite them.
The two of them slowly walked to the front and sat down at the table closest to the small platform in front. There were already quite a few people sitting at the table, including Shizuka Hiratsuka and her uncle, the Hayama father and son, and Fujinomiya Ningzi's grandfather.
"Grandpa Fujinomiya." Yushan Kazuto took the initiative to greet him.
Although the two families do not have much contact, they are a firm offensive and defensive alliance. Even if it is just for the sake of Fujinomiya Ningzi, they have to be a little polite.
"Kazuto." Fujinomiya Ningzi's grandfather nodded slightly and looked at Hayama Kazuto.
On New Year's Day, Fujinomiya Ningzi said that she fell in love with a boy. Fujinomiya Ningzi's grandfather suspected that this person was Hayama Kazuto.
After seeing Hayama Kazuto and Yukinoshita Yukino walking into the ceremony hall hand in hand, he seemed to understand why Fujinomiya Ningko said at that time that she didn't want to destroy other people's feelings.
Although Fujinomiya Ningzi looks very sad, Fujinomiya Ningzi's grandfather will not vent his anger on Yushan Kazuto.
Of course, he would not communicate too much with Yushan and others. The two sides greeted each other and stopped talking.
Yushan Kazuto then turned his gaze to Yeshan and his son.
Hayato Hayama is an absolute upper class student in Sobu High School. He is handsome and comes from a wealthy family. However, in this banquet, the Hayama family is at the lowest level.
Hayato Hayama's father is a famous top lawyer in Chiba, but he is just a lawyer. His annual income of tens of millions of yen is indeed a lot, but compared with the rest of the people present, it is really dwarfed.
The reason they were able to appear at the banquet was probably because Mrs. Yukinoshita considered them to be the legal counsel of Yukinoshita Construction and Real Estate Company.
"Mr. Yeshan." Yushan Heren also greeted with a smile.
This "Mr." is of course not Hayato Hayama, but Hayato Hayama's father.
Yushan Kazuto took the initiative to greet him, which obviously made Hayato Hayama's father feel flattered. He quickly straightened up and said, "Master Yushan."
Hayama Kazuto grinned, while Hayama Hayato sat beside him with his head lowered. He knew very well how servile his father was in front of Hayama Kazuto, but he could not say anything to stop him, so he had to act like an ostrich.
Kazuto Yuyama finally turned his attention to Shizuka Hiratsuka and her uncle.
Hiratsuka Shizuka's uncle is relatively young, less than 40 years old, less than ten years younger than Hiratsuka Shizuka. They were classmates of Hayama Yayoi from elementary school to university.
Originally, the relationship between the Hayama family and the Hiratsuka family was very good, but since the main forces of the Hayama family withdrew from Japan, the power of the Hiratsuka family has been suppressed and it has not recovered for a long time, so some of the anger was directed at the Hayama family.
The Hiratsuka family is a family that works in the political arena, unlike a business family like the Yukinoshita family, which is more easily targeted.
Although the head of the Hiratsuka family, Hiratsuka Shizuka's grandfather, still stands firmly on the warship of the Hayama family, the second generation of the Hiratsuka family has already begun to have some ideas of making moves.
The leader among them is Shizuka Hiratsuka's uncle. The conflict between Shizuka Hiratsuka's uncle and Yayoi Hayama goes back even further, and can be traced back to college days.
Before college, the two were close friends, but some things happened during college that led to some irreconcilable conflicts between them.
As for Shizuka Hiratsuka's parents, they are currently in charge of Okada Prefecture. Not long after the New Year, they returned to Okada and did not attend the banquet.
As soon as Yushan Kazuto sat down, Hiratsuka Shizuka's uncle stared at him, which made Yushan Kazuto feel a little unhappy.
Yushan Kazuto knew something about the conflicts among the previous generation, but he had no intention of reconciling them. If Hiratsuka Shizuka's uncle was unhappy with him, then so be it. If you really can't stand it, you can leave the party.
"Jingbao, don't you have a blind date today? You actually come to the party." Yushan Kazuto looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka with a smile.
Shizuka Hiratsuka looked at Kazuto Yushan and couldn't help but grit her teeth. Kazuto Yushan was really talking about things that were not relevant. The cup he was pouring water into was still leaking!
"I've been there." Shizuka Hiratsuka said word by word.
Yushan Kazuto blinked. It seemed that Hiratsuka Shizuka's blind date was still not going well.
But soon, Yushan Kazuto felt relieved. Has Shizuka Hiratsuka ever had a smooth blind date?
Sitting in his seat, Yushan Kazuto looked around. Among the guests invited by Mrs. Yukinoshita, Yushan Kazuto only knew a few of them.
But after looking around, Yushan Heren felt that these people seemed to know him, which made him feel a little strange.
Time soon came to six o'clock and the banquet officially began. First of all, there was the banquet. One after another, food carts were pushed out from the backstage, loaded with various exquisite dishes.
Yushan Heren was not polite and started eating as soon as the dish was served. It was a pity that the taste was only mediocre.
It seems that too much attention was paid to the delicacy and ritual of the dishes when they were cooked, which resulted in the dishes tasted a little worse, but they were still barely eatable.
Hiratsuka Shizuka's uncle opened a bottle of red wine, which was a 1999 Lafite. The price was not too expensive, only about 400,000 yen a bottle.
The production of 1999 Lafite is relatively high and the taste is also better. For red wine, the best tasting period is 20 to 25 years.
As for the 1982 Lafite that everyone often talks about, it is almost forty years old now. In fact, in addition to being rare, its taste is actually a bit lacking.
Mrs. Yukinoshita specially chose the 1999 Lafite, which has a large reserve and a very superior taste. In fact, it is a well-intentioned choice.
Chapter 770: Now You Should Know Why Mrs. Yukinoshita Hates Me
"Would you like a drink?" A loud male voice came from the other side of the table.
Yushan Kazuto blinked. The voice came from Hiratsuka Shizuka's uncle.
"No, I can't drink." Yushan Heren said.
Yushan Kazuto is the type of person who never drinks alcohol. As soon as he drinks, he will feel dizzy and have a headache.
"Boring." Hiratsuka Shizuka's uncle cursed softly, poured himself a glass of wine, and looked at Fujinomiya Ningzi's grandfather.
"No need." said Fujinomiya Ningzi's grandfather.
As for Hayato Hayama and his son, they were simply ignored by Hiratsuka Shizuka's uncle, who picked up his wine glass and started drinking.
Most people drink red wine slowly and at a slower pace than white wine. A glass of red wine is enough to last four or five hours, but Hiratsuka Shizuka's uncle finished it in just two sips.
Yushan Heren couldn't help but blink his eyes. Is it really okay to drink red wine like this?
……
By the middle of the meal, Hiratsuka Shizuka's uncle was already drunk. He picked up the wine glass and continued to urge others to drink.
"Mr. Fujinomiya, come and have a drink." Hiratsuka Shizuka's uncle looked at Fujinomiya Ningzi's grandfather and said.
"I have quit drinking for several years." said Fujinomiya Ningzi's grandfather.
"Grandpa, you don't have the domineering attitude you used to have!" Hiratsuka Shizuka's uncle was obviously drunk. Under normal circumstances, he would never dare to speak to Fujinomiya Ningzi's grandfather like that.
Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that he said something from the truth under the influence of alcohol.
In response, Fujinomiya Ningzi's grandfather just smiled. It was impossible for him to argue with a drunkard. What's more, what Hiratsuka Shizuka's uncle said made sense. He was old and had more things to consider.
The next generation has not yet grown up, and the best heir of the next generation has been infected with a strange disease and may leave at any time. The Fujinomiya family still needs him to maintain it, so he also needs to pay attention to his health.
Seeing that Fujinomiya Ningzi's grandfather could not be persuaded, Hiratsuka Shizuka's uncle looked at Yushan Kazuto and said, "Hey, kid from the Yushan family, come and have a drink with me."
Yushan Kazuto blinked: "I am not prepared to sacrifice my life for a gentleman."
Drinking is really a terrible thing. Last time, Yushan Kazuto only ate some cookies with rum in them, but he stayed up all night and wrote the underlying code of Hui-chan.
Yushan Kazuto wondered if he could drink more alcohol if he could solve the problems of controlled nuclear fusion, Riemann hypothesis and Goldbach conjecture.
"You're not like your father at all." Hiratsuka Shizuka's uncle cursed.
Yushan Kazuto scratched his head. He didn't remember that Yushan Yayoi was a big drinker.
"That bastard Yayoi, although he can't drink and gets drunk as soon as he drinks, he always accompanies me every time I want to drink."
The alcohol seemed to have awakened some memories of Shizuka Hiratsuka's uncle, making him talkative.
"Sorry, let's leave for a while." Hayato Hayama's father pulled Hayato Hayama up. He knew very well that there were some things and some gossip that he was not qualified to listen to.
Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but blink. It turned out that Yushan Yayoi and Hiratsuka Shizuka's uncle had such a good relationship back then?
"But... they are too similar. They really are. Although they don't look like that bastard Yayoi at all, they are too similar."
Yushan Kazuto felt that what Hiratsuka Shizuka's uncle said was nonsense, and he even seemed like a riddler. He first said that he didn't look like him at all, and then he said that he looked too much like him. So, was he really similar or not?
"Damn it... How could that bastard Yayoi give birth to a bastard like you!" Hiratsuka Shizuka's uncle slammed the table hard.
Fortunately, the table in Yukinoshita's house was sturdy enough. Also, this table was far away from the other tables and everyone was busy discussing their own things, so it did not attract much attention.
Yushan Heren seemed a little confused and asked, "Can you please speak human language?"
Hiratsuka Shizuka's uncle drank another glass of red wine: "Why are all of you in the Yushan family so annoying!"
Seeing that the other party seemed to be drunk, Yushan Heren couldn't help but blink: "I don't think I should be hated by others."
Yushan Kazuto looked at Yukinoshita Yukino and Hiratsuka Shizuka again: "Yukinoshita, Shizuka, do you hate me?"
Yukinoshita Yukino didn't move and continued to eat the food, but Hiratsuka Shizuka nodded: "Yeah. It's pretty annoying!"
Leaving Yushan Kazuto alone in embarrassment.
"The most annoying thing about you is that women always like you!" said Hiratsuka Shizuka's uncle.
