Chapter 36: The Birthday Feast

Ye Chen glanced at Bai Qing with a smile and did not speak.

The two Bai families, although they are considered world friends, and even have a little blood relationship, are now sitting at two tables to eat, which can't help but make Ye Chen doubt the relationship between the two families.

It is very interesting that among Bai Jianian's descendants, a person will be selected every seven years, and he can choose to go to the disciple of two apprentices, or engage in business or politics.

And the way to choose which lucky one is also very simple, which is to give a gift.

Although it sounds very vulgar, Bai Jianian once said: The most beautiful thing in the world is a gift, and some things are not of much value, but as long as you know your heart, you can get the support of your apprentices.

And this 70th birthday has quietly become the best time to give a white carnival gift.

This rule has been in place for nearly thirty years, but Bai Jianian didn't really accept a gift, just looked at it and returned it.

According to the old man's previous saying: "If you can get a gift that makes me happy, it can show your popularity and financial resources, and such a person can achieve something even if I don't fund the later stage." ”

Ye Chen looked towards the dining table on the side and found that every Bai Jianian's relatives were secretly guessing each other's thoughts.

A simple blessing banquet has become a place of intrigue.

Ye Chen smiled secretly, then picked up the chopsticks, ignored the disgusted eyes of Bai Qing and Bai Yulin on the other side, sandwiched a piece of chicken leg for Bai Miaoyan, and said with a smile: "I didn't eat in the morning, now hurry up and eat some." ”

When Ye Chen spoke, he gently put his mouth to Bai Miaoyan's ear, and his tone was very gentle.

Bai Miaoyan nodded lightly and continued to lower her head to play with her phone.

"Oh, are you still in love?"

Ye Chen turned his head and saw Bai Botao's greasy face, and the smile on it was very **.

"Heh, you're in charge of the house, you're such a long-tongued woman. Bai Miaoyan glanced at Bai Botao, lowered her head and continued to eat.

Bai Botao saw that no one paid attention to him, not only did he not leave, but he dragged a chair and sat next to Ye Chen, directly hooked his hand to Ye Chen's neck, and said excitedly: "Tell me, what did you do at that time, you caught up with the president of the first iceberg beauty in the magic capital, it seems that you are not very handsome." "

Ye Chen glanced at Bai Miaoyan, who was taking a sip of tea awkwardly at this time, and glared at himself viciously.

As soon as Bai Botao raised his head, he just saw Bai Miaoyan's gaze, and immediately laughed and said, "Brother, it seems that you are a strict wife, you must have a status in the family, if you can't beat her!"

As soon as the words fell, Ye Chen heard a sharp voice behind him: "Isn't this Bai Jiannian's little grandson, why is he sitting in such a place?"

Ye Chen turned his head and saw a gorgeously dressed middle-aged woman with an exaggerated gold necklace on her body.

Bai Botao narrowed his eyes and said impatiently: "Second aunt, are you so sure that I didn't visit my grandfather?"

"Hah, just ask. The middle-aged woman glanced at Ye Chen from time to time, and she could see that she also looked down on Ye Chen's identity as a son-in-law.

"It's better not to be nosy. Bai Botao poured a glass of red wine into the glass, didn't even look at the middle-aged woman, got up and walked to Bai Jianian's table.

"You ......"

The middle-aged woman didn't know what to say for a while, and stood in place in embarrassment.

Ye Chen smiled and looked at the middle-aged woman for a while, the middle-aged woman snorted angrily, and then walked to the toilet.

Bai Miaoyan's table did not take turns queuing up to celebrate his birthday, but just sent out a representative of Bai Yuan to cheer Bai Jianian for his family.

Bai Yuan got up and just left, when he heard Bai Qing Yin and Yang say in a strange way: "Some people are just so blind, obviously it is someone else's family matter, but they like to come over to join in the fun." ”

Bai Qing put down his chopsticks when he said this, and stared at Ye Chen, who was gnawing on a chicken leg.

"Oh, in fact, some people can't see the good of others, and they are angry with others, this kind of person is the most angry. Ye Chen didn't raise his head, letting Bai Qing look at him angrily.

Seeing that Ye Chen couldn't look at himself, Bai Qing was very unhappy in his heart, but in front of the old man of Bai Zong, he still couldn't fully show it.

"Alas, look at how long you can jump, I really don't know what you have to be happy about, you waste. Bai Qing thought to himself in his heart.

At this moment, Bai Qingyi looked up and saw Bai Zeyu, who was queuing up, making an OK gesture to himself, and an evil smile leaked from the corner of his mouth.

"Ha, look at my gift this time, as long as Bai Zeyu can become Bai Jianian's lucky person, Bai Miaoyan will have to go back a little bit. Bai Qing couldn't help but laugh softly.

This time, Bai Qing spent a lot of money to find a piece of hundred-year-old jade in the antique shop.

Although jade is relatively ordinary, but fortunately, it has a history of 100 years, since the Qing Dynasty, it has been carried by people every step of the way, the value of this jade pendant is at least about one million yuan, and the most important thing is that Bai Jianian regards jade as his life, and likes to wear jade pendants very much.

After the gift-giving session, Bai Zeyu smiled at Bai Qing, as if to say, "I have won it this time." ”

Although Bai Jianian is seventy years old today, his face is extremely ruddy, and his voice is also strong and powerful, and everyone looks at Bai Jianian sitting in the middle with expectant eyes, and they all want to be the lucky one.

Bai Zeyu was very clear about Old Man Bai's preferences, and after knowing that Old Man Bai liked jade pendants, he sent people to find the most expensive jade pendants, but at Bai Qing's suggestion, he went to the antique store and found a piece of jade pendants that had been raised for a hundred years.

These two people agreed that if Bai Zeyu became the person selected by Bai Jianian, 30% of the branch would be given to Bai Qing.

And Bai Jianian has a total of two grandsons, one is called Bai Botao, and the other is called Bai Zeyu.

Bai Botao's usual life is very bold, often informal, everyone can see that Bai Botao is not interested in this gift-giving conference, but Bai Zeyu has been preparing gifts for the past two years, so everyone desperately wants to make friends with Bai Zeyu, and wait until the time to take over Bai Jianian's career in the future.
