Chapter 317 - Sore Loser (1/2)

The dinner arrangements were done in the back courtyard of the Xu Residence. Xu Mey might not be experienced in organizing such dinners, but Fan Bingbing sure was. She was a meticulous lady who did everything with perfection.

Surrounded by the flowers and fairy lights, under the moonlight, the long tables were set up to accommodate all the people.

"As always, my sister really knows how to impress people," Xu Cheng was complimenting Fan Bingbing while she was trying to act humble.

"You had any doubt?" But of course, she couldn't be just humble. At least, not before the man, she grew up with. Xu Cheng knew her better than anyone, so there was no point in acting innocent.

"No doubts at all..." Xu Cheng smiled at her. Then he looked at his courtyard filled with people laughing chattering and his own spirit was lifted up. "It's been years since I last saw this much happiness in my house."

"It's a given that you didn't." Fan Bingbing started, "After all, because of 'the one who shall not be named' I was missing from the picture of this house. Now that I'm back, happiness is sure to come back."

She was trying to make him laugh and it worked. The way, Fan Bingbing called Fu Lan, the one who shall not be named, was quite amusing for him. Laughing, he ruffled her hair saying, "How is it that even at this age, you're this dramatic?"

Fixing her prim and proper hairstyle with a frown, Fan Bingbing answered, "Bro, how is it that even at this age, you like to ruin my hair?"

"Because no matter how old you get, I'll stay as your older brother." This reminder made Fan Bingbing scrunch up her face. But inwardly, she was really happy. She had spent years in Xu Residence but because of Fu Lan, she stopped visiting and could only find Xu Cheng outside the house.

Now, there was no dark shadow of Fu Lan and she was more than just glad to be able to come and go from Xu Residence. Just like old times...

"Did you call Jun?" Xu Mey asked Jie.

"I did." Xu Mey arched her brows wanting to know in detail but Jie refused to say a word.

Suddenly, there was a commotion like someone was arguing. Everyone's attention was turned to the doorway that led to the back courtyard only to find a dainty looking, Azalea dragging a tall Ye Jun.

"Zelie, let go already!" Ye Jun was fuming.

"Jun bro, stop showing me that attitude of yours. It won't work on me." Azalea replied proudly. Seeing Xu Mey, Azalea straight up called out to her, "Sis, look at this brother of yours. He was showing tantrums like a little girl that he doesn't want to leave home and blah... blah... blah."

Saying that she pushed Jun right in front of Xu Mey. Faced with Xu Mey standing with her hands on her waist and eyes trained on his face, Ye Jun was suddenly under a lot of pressure. He laughed awkwardly or at least, tried to. "Sis, what a pleasant surprise. I didn't know you'd be here."

"Oh, really?" Xu Mey asked rhetorically. "I arranged this dinner and spent hours in the kitchen to make so many dishes for you and you are saying that you didn't know?"
