Chapter 8: The Birthday Feast

The old man of the Ye family is named Ye Tian, who is kind and charitable, and in the rich circle of Beihai City, he can be regarded as a Taishan Beidou-level figure, and he is admired by everyone.

In this life, Old Man Ye has given birth to a total of three children, the eldest is Lu Chen's father-in-law Ye Jianwen, and the second is called Ye Jianwu. The youngest third child is called Ye Jianhui, and in order to inherit the property of the Ye family, he specially found a son-in-law, and the child he gave birth to was also surnamed Ye.

Today's 70th birthday banquet was held in the most famous Jinxing Hotel in Beihai City, in order to show its strength, the Ye family directly wrapped the 70th floor, which can be described as a trench. By the time Lu Chen and his father-in-law arrived at the hotel together, there were already many guests, and everyone greeted Ye Jianwen with a smile, but they didn't mean to be too close.

Ye Jianwen's personality is at best called easy-going and kind, and he attaches great importance to handouts, but at worst, he is indecisive and lacks principle. If it were an ordinary family, it would be nothing, but in a rich family like the Ye family, such a character would be fatal.

Old man Ye is very familiar with his eldest son, so in the future inheritance of the Ye family, he directly bypassed Ye Jianwen and sent him to a small company, with the name of general manager.

The world is bustling, all for profit, the world is bustling, all for profit.

Why should I befriend you if you can't bring me any benefit? Obviously, in their opinion, with this extra word, it is better to talk to Ye Jianwu, or Ye Jianhui.

Ye Jianwen also fully showed the character of a good man, he didn't care about these, stretched out his hand to pull Lu Chen to his side, and whispered: "Xiao Chen, are you ready for the birthday gift?"

"Dad, I've been ready for a long time. ”

Lu Chen shook the gift box in his hand and replied with a smile.

Just when Ye Jianwen was about to ask what was in this gift box, Liu Ya walked in with two daughters who were like flowers and jade, which really attracted the attention of many people.

"This is a birthday gift for the old man, and it cost a lot of money, but don't be laughed at by others like last year. ”

Liu Ya casually stuffed a beautifully packaged small gift box into Ye Jianwen's arms and reminded in a low voice.

Ye Jianwen was stunned for a moment, frowned slightly, and said, "Isn't Xiao Chen already ready, why spend any more money?"

"The birthday gift he prepared is only a thousand yuan, what kind of good thing can it be? I don't want to be ridiculed by your brother and sister's family like last year. ”

After Liu Ya glanced at Lu Chen expressionlessly, she said coldly.

Ye Jianwen had no choice but to shake his head helplessly, and took the family to the elevator to the banquet hall on the seventieth floor.

When he got out of the elevator, Ye Qingling deliberately slowed down, followed Lu Chen's side, and said slightly apologetically: "I'm sorry, my mother has too much heart." ”

"It's okay, make a double insurance, this one is what we gave to grandpa. ”

Lu Chen smiled indifferently, if he really cared about this, he would probably have been mad by Liu Ya's cold words.

"It's fine. ”

Ye Qingling nodded, hooked the corners of her mouth slightly, and showed a faint smile, which made Lu Chen on the side stunned.

"Let's go. ”

Seeing Lu Chen's stupid appearance, Ye Qingling suddenly felt a little funny, and hurriedly urged Lu Chen to walk into the hall together.

As the eldest son of the old man, Ye Jianwen's family was naturally arranged at the main table. Although the Ye family has a lot of complaints about Lu Chen, but on this occasion, they also acquiesced to Lu Chen's existence, after all, what kind of foreign appearance is going to be made now, and it is the entire Ye family that makes a fool of it.

Lu Chen sat quietly on the side, observing the Ye family members present, he remembered that the last time he saw these Ye family relatives was when he married Ye Qingling. In the past year or so, these Ye family relatives have also appeared in front of his eyes again, obviously they don't want to burn Ye Jianwen's cold stove.

Compared with the deserted atmosphere on the side of the Ye family boss, Ye Jianwu and Ye Jianhui's side was a lot more lively, and there were constantly guests who came to say hello.

This stark contrast made Liu Ya, who had always been strong, look very ugly, and exude a cold aura all over her body. Even the Ye Qingling sisters were silent, for fear that they would say the wrong thing and provoke their mother's reprimand.

Only Ye Jianwen was like a nobody, talking and laughing with the other idle members of the Ye family, and he seemed to be in a good mood.

Lu Chen was also happy to be so quiet, and his eyes looked at the faces of his second uncle Ye Jianwu and sister-in-law Ye Jianhui a few more times.

Ye Jianwu was blessed, and his chin was exceptionally full, but there was a striking scar on the right side. The chin is also known as the pavilion in the face, which represents a person's ability to gather wealth and blessings, but an extra scar indicates that the person is good at disguise and has a strong sense of revenge.

Ye Jianhui has good facial features, although he is over forty years old, his charm still exists. However, her eyebrows are a little raised, indicating that she is not easy to admit defeat due to being strong, and she has the air of not letting her eyebrows go.

Such a woman usually develops well in her career, but often focuses too much on the success or failure of her career, and eventually neglects her family, which leads to marital problems.

Just when Lu Chen finished observing everyone in the Ye family, the protagonist of today's birthday banquet, Old Man Ye, also slowly walked into the hall surrounded by everyone.

Although the old man has reached the age of antiquity this year, he is still in good spirits, his face is ruddy, his eyebrows are kind, and there is an air of not being angry and arrogant. How can such a rich man who is up and down in the business sea and has hundreds of millions of assets be ordinary people?

After the old man arrived, today's birthday banquet was officially started, Ye Jianwu, as the representative of the Ye family, simply said a few words, and all the guests also spoke one after another, wishing the old man a long life and a longevity greater than Nanshan Yunyun.

Halfway through the birthday banquet, the highlight of the day is here, and the Ye family has taken out the gifts they have prepared to present a birthday gift for the old man.

This birthday gift is also a kind of knowledge, such as the old man Ye, what kind of good things have not been seen? So no matter how expensive or low the price is, as long as it can please the old man, it is a good gift and a good thing.

A group of chaotic relatives of the Ye family stepped forward one by one and presented the birthday gifts they had carefully prepared, most of them were porcelain vases, calligraphy and paintings, etc., after all, the old man loves antiques, and everyone wants to use antiques to win the favor of the old man.

It's a pity that although there are many antiques, there is no one who can be like the old man's eyes.

The old man has always been smiling, and he has been immersed in antiques for more than 30 years, so he can naturally distinguish the authenticity and value of these antiques. Obviously, most of the children of the Ye family have been cheated by people, and the things are either fake and can't be faked, or they are just imitations of donkey's lips and horses' mouths.

However, the old man did not say anything to blame, but smiled and nodded to everyone, indicating encouragement.

When the Ye family's relatives finished offering their birthday gifts, the next thing was Ye Jianwen's three brothers and sisters.
