Xiao Liyan smelled the fragrance in the air, and her irritable mood calmed down a lot because of Tang Xuejian's ignorance.

She stood up and said to Lan Ting, "Mom, I'll tell Dad to come down for dinner!"

After speaking, she didn't wait for Lan Ting to answer, and ran briskly with brisk steps, flicking her waist-length ponytail and running to the study on the second floor.

In this regard, Aunt Lan could only smile helplessly and lovingly, and did not say anything.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please take your seats. ”

Lan Ting, the elder, spoke, and the men and women who came to the birthday banquet naturally sat down in priority.

However, there is also a doorway where everyone sits.

The dining table of the Xiao family is a long table, a total of twelve chairs, and the back few are redundant, and the first seat and the two chairmen are naturally given to the protagonist and Xiao Yuanshan and his wife tonight, which is nothing to say.

But Tang Xuejian helped Lan Ting put down the dishes and chopsticks for a while, except for the three main seats, the rest were all occupied by the classmates who came to participate in this birthday banquet.

Of course, this is the result of discussions between Yijie and several people, and the youngest officials here are all department-level cadres, and the poorest ones have a net worth of more than 10 million.

Tang Xuejian is the only one who is alone, and people like this are only worthy of sitting at the bottom in the eyes of everyone.

Tang Xuejian, the old monster, could naturally see this little trick, but he didn't care, because he didn't want to get close to the Xiao family's father and daughter, in his previous life, he was Xiao Liyan's dog skin plaster, and his little brother-in-law never gave him any good looks, and always thought that he was not worthy of his daughter.

After a while, Xiao Liyan pulled his father Xiao Yuanshan down from the upper floor.

Xiao Yuanshan is not very old, but he is in his early forties, and he is pedantic, but he is a complete official fan.

This person's ability and connections are not weak, otherwise he would not have reached the level of a department-level official at the age of forty, and he would have been kicked down a long time ago if he didn't have any ability.

Everyone sat down, the head of Xiao Yuanshan's family sat in the main seat, and Lan Ting sat in the first place on the right, next to Lin Yuer, a girl in a white dress.

The first place on the left is naturally Xiao Liyan, close to Yijie's position.

In fact, in addition to targeting Tang Xuejian, Yijie's arrangement did not mean to let Xiao Liyan make a decision.

He chased Xiao Liyan for two years, and in the past, Xiao Liyan had Tang Xuejian by his side, and his pressure was very high, and Xiao Liyan's attitude was also unclear.

And now, Xiao Liyan's choice is naturally self-evident.

Everyone sat down, and Xiao Yuanshan, who was in the main seat, cleared his throat and said: "Fellow students, welcome to come to celebrate the little girl's birthday, I am glad that Xiao Yan can have these best friends!"

"Uncle Xiao is polite, we are all very good friends, we should come to that, and it is also the luck of our juniors to be able to listen to Uncle Xiao's teachings closely, I remember that my father often said that Uncle Xiao is a pillar of the country, and many ideas are very novel. Let me get closer to Xiao Yan and learn a few tricks and a half. Ijay smiled.

Xiao Yuanshan, who heard this, laughed, and said in his heart that this Yijie is really as sophisticated as he has heard, and he doesn't know how much better than Tang Xuejian's Adou, it seems that he has to mention to his wife that Tang Xuejian should hide from his daughter.

"Mayor Yi is polite, okay, okay, I see that all the students are a little impatient, so let's go." ”

As Xiao Yuanshan finished speaking, everyone who had already been aroused couldn't wait to stretch out their chopsticks to their favorite dishes.

Pick up the exquisite dishes and send them to their mouths, and everyone doesn't want to say anything delicious, just keep stretching out their chopsticks, even if it's a girl.

If it weren't for their image, they would be even more ferocious than a few men.

During the banquet, the cups were pushed and changed, and the guests and hosts clinked glasses again and again, which can be described as a scene of great joy.

However, although everyone clinked glasses repeatedly, one person seemed to be excluded.

During the banquet, no one ever chatted with Tang Xuejian about anything, only Aunt Lan asked the taciturn Tang Xuejian to pick up vegetables from time to time.

Even if the others raised their cups and clinked glasses, none of their cups collided with Tang Xuejian's cups, as if they were avoiding the plague.

At this wine table, he is the only marginal person, and the excitement of other people has nothing to do with him.

Even Lan Ting couldn't say anything more about this kind of thing, because she was an elder.

Soon, under the storm of everyone, there was no longer even a single vegetable leaf on the dinner table.

After eating, everyone was not idle, except for the birthday star and Yijie who left for the side hall, the rest of the people helped clean up the dishes and clean up the table.

Of course, this is done to make room for the highlight of the night.

Soon, the two who went to the side hall pushed out a four-wheeled cart with a large cake with five layers on it.

With the sound of everyone cheering, Yijie put 17 candles on the cake, representing that Xiao Liyan was exactly 17 years old.

The candles were lit, the birthday boy closed her eyes and made a wish, and the others around her sang a birthday song for her.

"Xiao Liyan, I wish you a happy birthday!" After all the ceremonies were completed, everyone cheered.

"Xiao Yan, this is a gift that my aunt brought back from France. To you and happy birthday to you. Yijie took out a rectangular gift box with exquisite packaging and said to Xiao Liyan.

Xiao Liyan accepted the gift with a smile and said softly, "Thank you." ”

"Take it apart and take a look, I think it's very suitable for you to let your aunt buy it. ”

"Now?"

In foreign countries, it is possible to open the gifts given by the guests immediately, but it is very rude to open the gifts in front of Yan Huang, and Xiao Liyan did not do this.

Yijie wanted to say something, but Father Xiao on the side spoke first: "Open it, since the guests have taken the initiative to ask for it, of course it is the host who is at will." ”

"Yes, my uncle said so, Xiao Yan, just open it and take a look. Ijay said with a stint in his eyes.

Of course, the rest of the people also opened their mouths to persuade.

At this point, Xiao Liyan is not shirking.

I took the scissors and opened the gift box.

In the box, a key-shaped pendant with fine workmanship and several diamond embellishments lies quietly inside.

Tang Xuejian didn't know this kind of thing, but the plump and cute girl was obviously an expert.

Tang Xuejian knows this person, her name is Su Tian, her family is in the clothing business, and her family also has assets of tens of millions.

I saw her exclaim: "Wow, this is Tiffany's latest heart-shaped key pendant 18K diamond necklace this year, the market price is more than 80,000 soft girl coins, and I can't buy it in China." ”

Yao Tian also smiled and said: "Really, although I know that you won't give any bargains, but you take out a necklace of nearly 100,000 yuan, then how can we take out the gifts of the poor! ”

Yao Tian's first half of the sentence is fine, but the second half of the sentence is obviously aimed at Tang Xuejian, because everyone has seen that Tang Xuejian came in empty-handed, and he doesn't have any bags or backpacks or the like, so it is impossible to hide any gifts.

Tang Xuejian didn't speak, but Yijie didn't want to let him go.

"Yao Tian, your family is the number one big enterprise in Yongcheng Pai, and everyone doesn't know it, so you are teasing me here, I'm afraid that I and Tang Xuejian can't compare to you in terms of family background. Ijay said meaningfully.

Everyone laughed, but only they knew whether it was ridicule or ridicule.

Yijie gave the first gift, and the rest of the people naturally took out their own.

Among them, there are many expensive watches or some other things of great value, and all of them are required to be opened in person.

Soon, everyone's gifts were delivered, and everyone's eyes fell on Tang Xuejian intentionally or unintentionally.

"Now, I'll see what you can come up with, this time I've lost this face, and I'll see if you dare to dangle in front of my woman. Jay thought to himself.

Yijie asked Xiao Liyan to open the gift in front of him just for this moment, he had failed to let the security guard stop Tang Xuejian before, but it didn't mean that he gave up the idea of hitting Tang Xuejian.

In fact, not only Yijie, but even Tang Xuejian's uncle, Xiao Yuanshan, also had this idea.

He is shrewd, he can naturally see Yijie's purpose, he expects that Tang Xuejian has no money, not to mention whether he buys a gift or not, even if he buys it, it is definitely not a valuable commodity, and he will not have an opinion if he thinks about it.

"How can this kind of person be worthy of my daughter, but Yijie's child is scheming, both in terms of knowledge and family skills, especially the energy of the Yi family is not small, if I can promote this family business, it may not be able to make my career go further. Xiao Yuanshan, who was watching coldly, thought.
