Chapter 638: Long Time No See
As more and more people attended, the whole banquet hall became a little crowded.
Mu Tingfang and Wang Xiumei walked in with trembling hands in the eyes of everyone.
As soon as they appeared, there was a burst of blessings and flattery.
Don't look at this group of people, they have already decided that Mu Huaimian is the next head of the Mu family, but now Mu Tingfang is still the head of the family, and he still has to compliment him.
Mu Tingfang sat on the rattan chair in the middle with a smile, and beckoned to Mu Huaimian in the crowd, "Huaimian, come." ”
"Father, what's the matter?" Mu Huaimian walked quickly to Mu Ting's side.
Mu Tingfang asked in a low voice, "Let you call and ask Huaiyong, have you asked?"
"I asked, and the second brother said that he was already on the way, and it was estimated that he would be able to reach the hotel at about ten o'clock. Mu Huaimian glanced at the time, and then replied respectfully, "I asked the hotel staff to receive them, go to the guest room to rest first, take a bath, and then come to the birthday banquet." ”
"Then, that Yun Bing's husband, what's Shi Bing's name, oh to Shi Chen, look at my brain!" Mu Tingfang smiled hoarsely and patted his head, "That Shi Chen, do you want to come along?"
"It's all here, Huaiyong and his brother-in-law, Yun Bing and Shi Chen, they all came together. Mu Huaimian hunched over and said as clearly as he could.
"Not bad, but don't let the hotel waiter go to the reception, you see that there is not much time, just go out to greet it in person, remember to bring Shi Chen over, let me and your mother see." ”
Mu Tingfang sighed as he spoke, "The young man we Yun Bing fancy must not be ordinary!"
"Then I'll let Huaijing entertain the guests, it's nine o'clock now, I'll go out and wait. Mu Huaimian nodded in response, and then walked quickly outside.
Seeing Mu Huaimian leaving, those guests gathered around Mu Huaijing, like stars and moons.
However, these made Mu Huaijing even more unhappy, he was unwilling to live under the aura of his eldest brother.
When the eldest brother and he were both present, he hoped that this group of people could all please him, instead of snubbing himself and currying favor with the eldest brother.
"Tingfang, you just said that Yun Bing's girl is married?" Wang Xiumei was an amiable-looking old lady, she held a cane in her hand, and asked Mu Tingfang beside her.
"It's been a few years, Huaiyong once sent news to his family, saying that Yun Bing married a young man he grew up watching, and you were hospitalized at the time, so I forgot to tell you. ”
Mu Tingfang thought about it, if it weren't for this family gathering, he would have almost forgotten about it.
Wang Xiumei grabbed Mu Tingfang's arm and asked with concern, "How is the child's character?"
"It should be not bad, although Huaiyong usually swallows slowly, but his vision is still good. Mu Tingfang straightened his collar and said without hurrying or slowing, "The son-in-law he fancies, he must have a good character." ”
Anyway, this is the first time I have met my grandson-in-law, even after a lot of wind and waves, I am still a little nervous, and I don't want my old self to leave a bad impression on my juniors.
"You old man didn't say it earlier, I didn't prepare anything!" Wang Xiumei began to complain.
"I just thought of it when I was in the room, and I didn't prepare anything," Mu Tingfang looked a little embarrassed, "Why don't I let Huaimian or Huaijing go out and buy some?"
"How can you go out and buy it now, don't you have a calligraphy and painting from the Ming and Qing dynasties, it's better to give it to him." Wang Xiumei proposed, "We have owed Huaiyong a lot over the years, and we can't owe him the next generation anymore." ”
"It's to blame, it's also to blame Huaiyong for not being angry, and the industry he gave him back then has not been well managed!" Mu Tingfang shook his head with some hatred.
They are all their own sons, and it was really helpless to let Mu Huaiyong go back then.
Wang Xiumei frowned and interrupted, "Okay, it's all the past few decades, don't mention it again." ”
Mu Tingfang nodded, propped up the back of the rattan chair, and slowly stood up, "Then I'll go and bring the calligraphy and painting over now." ”
Wang Xiumei grabbed Mu Tingfang's arm and pointed to the guests in the banquet hall, "It's all guests here, just give it at home when you go back in the evening." ”
Although it was her birthday banquet, her husband was the head of the Mu family, and since he had already arrived, there was no reason to leave halfway.
"That's right, go home and give it again, go home and give it again!" Mu Tingfang sat down slowly, shook his head and sighed lightly.
Although he kept blaming Mu Huaiyong for not being angry back then, in fact, he still regretted the decision he made back then.
At the door of the Hanlin Hotel, Mu Huaimian stood in the cold wind and looked left and right from time to time, speaking of which, he had not seen his second brother and sister-in-law for a long time.
I remember the last time I saw him, it was when my mother was sick and hospitalized.
Shi Chen's speed of driving was not very fast, and when he arrived at the hotel, it was already 9:45.
Seeing a middle-aged man at the door who looked somewhat similar to Mu Huaiyong, Shi Chen gradually slowed down and stopped at the door.
"You're Shi Chen, right?"
Looking at the young man driving, Mu Huaimian showed a kind smile, and then stretched out his head to look into the car.
"Big brother, long time no see!"
Without waiting for Shi Chen to reply, Mu Huaiyong opened the car door, stepped out of the car in one step, and then hugged Mu Huaimian heavily.
"Haha Huaiyong, if it weren't for our mother's birthday, wouldn't you plan to go home to see it?"
Mu Huaimian laughed, then put his hands on Mu Huaiyong's shoulders and looked at it carefully, "I have gained a lot of weight, it seems that my younger brothers and sisters are still taking good care of them, and they have meat on their faces!"
"Thanks to Shi Chen, if it weren't for him, I would still be lying on the hospital bed right now. Mu Huaiyong replied honestly.
In addition to thanking his parents for bringing him to the world in this life, the most grateful person is Shi Chen.
"I haven't seen our son-in-law yet, the one who just drove is it, right?"
Mu Huaimian saw Shi Chen go to park, so he pointed to the butt of the car in the hotel parking lot and asked Mu Huaiyong in a low voice.
"That's right, bring it back this time, just for you to see it with your third brother and parents!" Mu Huaiyong nodded solemnly.
When he talked about Shi Chen, he couldn't help but have a glow on his face.
Having such an excellent son-in-law as Shi Chen is the pride of his life!
"Uncle. ”
"Big brother. ”
Xu Meifeng and Mu Yunbing, who got out of the car, also nodded to Mu Huaimian together.
"Meifeng, Dad has been talking about you, and in the morning he specially instructed me to invite all of you over, and everyone will be lively together. But noon is our Mu family's cocktail party, and in the evening, it is our own family's birthday banquet, you stay at home for one night, and then go back to Yu City tomorrow!"
Mu Huaimian nodded one by one, and when he spoke, because he had been standing for too long, his mouth was full of cold air.
"If you say this kind of thing now, you should have done something earlier. Xu Meifeng's voice was sharp, obviously dissatisfied.
Soon after she married Mu Huaiyong, she was sent to Yu City, and she has always held a fire in her heart for decades.
