Chapter 19: Birthday Banquet
Chapter 19 Birthday Banquet ([-])
"This is my new granddaughter, Jiang Miaowan." Old Man Wen watched Miaowan come down the stairs, saw the amazed eyes of the people around him, and the smile on his face became more and more obvious.
"Today is grandpa's birthday, Miaowan is arranged by grandpa like this, it's considered too much of a guest..." Jiang Miaowan walked over generously, and then slightly bent towards the people around her as a greeting.
Then he looked at today's birthday star, his face full of apology.
Old Man Wen chuckled, "Is there any way to overwhelm the host? If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be hosting a birthday party!"
Although he said this while looking at Jiang Miaowan, he actually said it for the audience.
Jiang Miaowan knew that old man Wen had always been helping her to support her, letting everyone know how much he valued her. She was already very grateful to grandpa from the bottom of her heart, and now she felt even warmer.
The protagonist also came out, the introduction was finished, and the banquet officially began.
Of course, the rules should not be broken at the beginning of the banquet, it is the time for celebrities from all parties to send congratulatory gifts.
It was the Lin family who gave the birthday gift at the very beginning. The Lin family and the Wen family had a good relationship on the surface, but the relationship between the two families was regarded as a conflict.
Mr. Lin is a few years younger than Mr. Wen, and he will call him big brother when he sees him.
Mr. Lin's name is Lin Zhiguo, and he is also a well-known figure in City A, but he is called a villain by many people in private...
When they were young, the two old men of the Wen family and the Lin family were comrades-in-arms on the battlefield, and their friendship is evident.
It's just that the business the Lin family has been doing these years is not legitimate, and not only that, it is not good for the country and the nation. This makes Mr. Wen very dissatisfied, and the relationship has become more and more rigid.
Lin Zhiguo also received the news today that the Wen family had added a new member. At first he thought it was Wen Ze who was going to marry someone, but he didn't expect that Mr. Wen had adopted a granddaughter who didn't know anything...
But when he heard old man Wen talking about Wen's shares, he looked at Jiang Miaowan's eyes no longer with contempt, but with joy...
Seeing that many people had dispersed and chatted around to build relationships, Lin Zhiguo was the first to walk up to Mr. Wen.
"Brother, your birthday party is rarely held, and today I finally have the opportunity to show my hospitality to you..."
Lin Zhiguo speaks nicely and likes flattering very much. Even if he doesn't have a good relationship with Mr. Wen at the moment, he is still very considerate in his appearance.
"My brother is being polite."
Old Man Wen didn't show any disgust, but his tone was much calmer.
Lin Zhiguo turned to look at the person following behind, and that person handed over a box knowingly.
"This is the emerald my brother got from Myanmar. I gave it to my elder brother today as a birthday gift. I hope my elder brother will not dislike it."
It is well known that the relationship between the Lin family and the Wen family is not good. Seeing Lin Zhiguo talking to Mr. Wen, many people walked around, and now they even looked at the wooden box that Lin Zhiguo handed over.
There was a statue of Avalokitesvara in the opened wooden box. Although the size was not particularly large, Jiang Miaowan could tell at a glance that the jadeite used for the statue of Avalokitesvara was the famous imperial green.
Old Man Wen just glanced at it, and didn't say yes or no, he just asked Wen Ze who was beside him to pick it up.
"My brother is bothering..."
"This Guanyin statue is given to my elder brother. My elder brother should enshrine it properly, so that I can have a stable old age..."
Lin Zhiguo smiled brightly, and his eyes were sharp for a moment.
"With my brother's words, I will be well even if I am not good!" Old Man Wen was not angry, but just laughed.
After the two of them spoke a few more words, Lin Zhiguo suddenly changed the topic to Jiang Miaowan.
"I saw that my eldest brother's new granddaughter is clever. My eldest brother really has vision! I think she must be a filial child..."
Lin Zhiguo's eyes were deep, Jiang Miaowan only felt that the person in front of him must have malicious intentions, and a cool wind was blowing behind him...
"Today is my eldest brother's birthday. I wonder what kind of gift this girl has prepared for my eldest brother? Maybe it will open my eyes, brother!"
"She will definitely be a filial child... I can recognize Wanwan as my granddaughter, which is my most satisfying gift!"
Old Man Wen knew that Lin Zhiguo wanted to embarrass Jiang Miaowan, so he smiled and wanted to help her out.
It turned out that Jiang Miaowan hadn't sent out the Yuan blue and white flowers before, and wanted to surprise Mr. Wen after the banquet...
Old Man Wen thought that Miao Wan had forgotten to prepare, so he wanted to rescue her.
"Yes, yes, brother is right!" Lin Zhiguo was just trying to find out the truth, but when he heard old man Wen say that, he thought that Jiang Miaowan must be unprepared for anything.
So the conversation changed, and he said again, "It's just that grandpa's birthday is a big event, so how can granddaughter not prepare a birthday gift?"
As he spoke, he looked at Jiang Miaowan again, his expression self-evident.
Just as Old Man Wen was about to say something, Jiang Miaowan smiled and said, "I did prepare a birthday gift for Grandpa. I originally wanted to surprise Grandpa, but now... I have to give it away!"
As he spoke, he glanced at Lin Zhiguo pointingly, meaning that Lin Zhiguo chose to use the junior as an example, and let her hard-earned "surprise" go to waste.
As soon as Jiang Miaowan finished speaking, Wen Ze had already brought a box from her room.
Jiang Miaowan took the box, and then opened it to let Yuan Qinghua appear in front of everyone.
"Grandpa, this is the genuine Yuan blue and white from Guigu Xiashan. My granddaughter knows that you like this, so I specially found the real one for you..."
Jiang Miaowan smiled gracefully, and finally took a look at Ren Junqian who had been sitting in the corner.
This is all thanks to Ren Junqian, otherwise she would not have any birthday gifts to offer.
Seeing Jiang Miaowan glanced at him, Ren Junqian raised his eyebrows and drank the red wine in the glass.
Sitting next to Ren Junqian was Xu Shu who had met the reborn Jiang Miaowan once. Xu Shu hadn't smiled since Jiang Miaowan's appearance, and his expression was not very good.
joke!It would be strange if her complexion improved!She had offended this literary daughter before!
Here Xu Shu felt uncomfortable like an ant on a hot pot, while Jiang Miaowan, who was in the center of the banquet, was extraordinarily calm.
"Yuan Qinghua from Guigu Downhill? I heard it sold for hundreds of millions..."
"Yes, this is one of the most precious varieties of blue and white porcelain..."
...
There were more discussions around, all of which were praising this work of art.
Although Lin Zhiguo was not interested in these things, he knew from the expressions of the people around him that Yuan Qinghua was an extraordinary product, so his face was not very good, but it was only for a moment.
"The granddaughter that my elder brother recognized is really filial, no better than others. Not only can Ms. Jiang speak, she even likes her birthday present!"
Although Lin Zhiguo was praising Jiang Miaowan on the surface, it didn't sound like that.
Jiang Miaowan immediately understood what he meant, it was nothing more than saying that she could become the daughter of the Wen family now, even if she flattered Mr. Wen, she was right!
