Chapter Forty-Eight: A Feast for the Wealthy
What's the use of let's talk about this, in the end, it doesn't depend on my sister's meaning. Li Ruomeng said disapprerovitically.
"Haha! Mengmeng, Sister Ruoxi can still take a fancy to Shen Lang, is it possible? What do you say about him that can attract Sister Ruoxi? Sister Ruoxi must be eager to dissolve this marriage contract, isn't it, Sister Ruoxi?" Li Hongtian looked at Li Ruoxi firmly.
"I haven't thought about it now, I'll talk about it later. Li Ruoxi said coldly.
One sentence shook a thousand waves, and almost everyone looked at Li Ruoxi with an incredulous expression.
This is not the same as they imagined, shouldn't Li Ruoxi be very eager to get rid of Shen Lang's waste?
At this moment, Li Hongtian's expression was stunned as if he had eaten.
After a moment, he suddenly laughed and said:
"Haha, I know why Sister Ruoxi is reluctant to dissolve this marriage contract now, Sister Ruoxi must want to use Shen Lang's waste as a shield, with Shen Lang's waste, Sister Ruoxi won't have so many suitors chasing after her ass all day long, Sister Ruoxi, am I right?" Li Hongtian seemed to have figured out something, and asked with a proud face.
Li Ruoxi glanced at Li Hongtian coldly, but did not answer his words.
For a while, it was a little cold.
Li Haichuan saw that the atmosphere was a little awkward, and said with a "cough":
"Ruoxi's marriage contract is not mentioned for the time being, Shen Lang has just made great contributions to our family, how can we do the matter of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge? If this is spread, how will others still think of our Li family? β
After listening to Li Haichuan's words, most of the people present agreed very much, and no one refuted it.
Li Haichuan looked around, nodded with satisfaction, and continued:
"The reason why we called everyone over for a family meeting today is because there is something important to announce. As you must know, every three years in Jiangcheng, a wealthy feast will be held in the upper aristocratic circle. This year's feast is scheduled for June 20th, which means that there are still five days to go. β
"I think you all know the importance of the feast of the wealthy, and everyone who can participate in the family attaches great importance to this big gathering. At this gathering, our older generation dignitaries took the opportunity to get closer to other families, and it would be better if we could reach a consensus on cooperation. And the highlight of every grand feast depends on the performance of your younger generation. β
"Every time there is a feast for the wealthy, there will always be some amazing talents. I hope that at this feast of wealthy families, we can see that some of the young talents of our Li family can become famous and famous in this feast, which is extremely important for the future development of our family. I hope you will use these few days to prepare well and strive to make a splash at this party. β
After Li Haichuan finished speaking, the scene was immediately noisy.
Everyone's face was filled with excitement and excitement, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.
"Uncle, I have been going to the racecourse to practice riding in the past few years, and I have been carefully preparing for this upcoming feast, and the coach of the racecourse has recently praised me for my great progress in riding, and I believe that I will be a blockbuster in the Marseille competition this time. Li Hongtian stood up and said in a loud voice.
Li Hongtian couldn't help but be even more proud when he saw that the young people in the family were all looking at him with envy, and when his eyes swept over Shen Lang, his face immediately turned cold, because Shen Lang didn't show any envy or jealousy because of his words, and he still sat as lightly as before.
"Uncle, this feast of wealthy families should be attended by the core members of the major families. Outsiders like Shen Lang are not qualified to participate?" Li Hongtianyin asked with a smile.
After Li Haichuan heard Li Hongtian's words, his brows couldn't help frowning.
"Hongtian, do you have any holiday with Shen Lang? This rich feast, Shen Lang must participate in it no matter what. Shen Lang has just made such a great contribution to our family, if he is not allowed to participate, he will be left behind, especially the Zhao family, in fact, the Zhao family is not qualified to participate in this wealthy feast, but I heard that Zhao Hongtao in order to be able to get the qualification for this time, but he took out his precious "Frog Sound Ten Miles Out of the Mountain Spring", if the Zhao family knows that we do not allow Shen Lang to participate in this wealthy feast, their Zhao family will definitely spread rumors and slander our Li family. Li Haichuan said solemnly.
Li Hongtian sat down unwillingly, and after a few seconds, he seemed to have figured out something, and glanced at Shen Lang with a sneer.
In Li Hongtian's opinion, it is good that Shen Lang can participate in the feast, this waste is waiting to let those wealthy children abuse the feast!
Li Haichuan continued to say some details to pay attention to when participating in the banquet of wealthy families, and the meeting ended.
When Shen Lang left the venue, Li Hongtian stopped Shen Lang with a strange face.
"Shen Lang, do you know that there are many wealthy sons who are interested in Ruoxi, if you participate in this feast, just wait to be abused, hahaha! β
Shen Lang glanced at Li Hongtian expressionlessly, and left the venue.
.......
Five days later, in the Li family's sports square, all the family members lined up in three rows in bright clothes.
Among them, only one person was a little special, and Shen Lang was still wearing his tattered clothes.
Li Hongtian glanced at Shen Lang with disdain, full of disdain.
When Li Haichuan glanced at Shen Lang, he stopped for a moment, but he didn't say anything.
"This feast of wealthy families is held on Subi Island, and I hope that each of you will cheer me up and not embarrass the family. β
Li Haichuan's voice just fell. I heard a loud roar from the sky, but two helicopters were slowly descending from the sky.
After the plane stopped, Li Haichuan waved his hand, and twenty or thirty core members of the Li family lined up to board the helicopter one after another.
Watching the white clouds fly upside down, all the young people of the Li family were full of ambition and pride, and they all had the urge to try it and show their skills at the feast.
Shen Lang looked at the blue endless sea of clouds, as if recalling the past, and was a little distracted for a while.
After flying for about two hours, the plane landed on a small airfield on Subi Island.
When everyone got out of the helicopter and stood on the ground, they were fascinated by the magnificent scenery in front of them.
Everyone felt that they had come to a paradise, and in the distance of the island was a clear ribbon like glass - a lake. From a distance, it is so green, green like an emerald ribbon, at this moment, the airport is just next to the lake, standing here looking at the lake, the water is so clear, the clear water is a colorful fish chasing happily.
Looking at the center of the island, where is a place of red flowers and willows, all kinds of strange shapes and trees, the island seems to be shrouded by big trees, looking from afar, like a ball of green grass, lush. There are flowers everywhere.
Complementing these trees are uniquely designed villas, each with a different design style, which makes people look at it and unconsciously feel the urge to stay for one night.
At this time, three tourist caravans drove up from a distance.
"Mr. Li Haichuan, I welcome you to Subi Island, you are in Villa 20, please get in the car, and we will take you there. The staff of Subi Island said very politely.
Everyone sat in the caravan, smelling the fragrance of flowers and plants, blowing a cool breeze, and headed for Villa 20.
"Head of the Li Haichuan family, the opening ceremony of the grand feast will be held at the Central Assembly Hall of Subi Island at twelve o'clock today, and I will come to pick you up at that time. The staff said very respectfully after bringing everyone to the place.
"Thank you, sorry for your please, we will attend the opening ceremony on time. β
Two hours later, the Li family and his entourage arrived at the most central location of Subi Island, the City Hall.
At this moment, a long red carpet was spread out outside the Great Hall, and this red carpet led straight to the center stage of the Great Hall, and every family member who arrived had to walk through the red carpet to enter the Great Hall.
At the same time, when walking on the red carpet, each member will appear on the large screen screened in the General Assembly Hall, and the host will introduce the guests on the red carpet to the people seated in the hall, and the whole ceremony will be very grand.
At this time, all the children of the Li family began to whisper, discussing the partners who would walk the red carpet and the looks to be posed.
After Li Hongtian discussed with his parents to walk the red carpet together, he suddenly turned around and walked towards Shen Lang happily.
"Shen Lang, you are dressed like this, it is really a shame for our Li family, it is impossible for anyone to be willing to partner with you when you walk the red carpet. Even if it is your fiancΓ©e, Li Ruoxi, it is impossible to walk the red carpet with you, she can't afford to lose that person. Li Hongtian gloated.
"I do!"
"I'm willing to partner with Shen Lang!"
Two voices rang out almost simultaneously.
In an instant, Li Hongtian's gloating expression directly turned into a pig's liver color.
He looked at the source of the voice in confusion, and it was actually two sisters, Li Ruoxi and Li Ruomeng, who were talking at the same time.
Li Hongtian glanced at Li Ruoxi and Li Ruomeng very puzzled, and walked back to his original position unwillingly.
"Sister, it's better for you to walk the red carpet with Shen Lang! I was just worried that no one would answer, and I was afraid that I would lose our family, so I said it without thinking. Li Ruomeng hurriedly explained.
Li Ruoxi waved his hand and said:
"Let's go in later. β
Just then, the host's voice came over the radio.
"Next, we invite the first jade family in Jiangcheng, the Li family, to make a shining appearance. First of all, walking on the red carpet were Li Haichuan, the patriarch of the Li family, and his wife Shen Rongrong. Li Haichuan is worthy of being the most wise head of the Li family's generation, and under his leadership, the Li family ushered in the most prosperous glory..."
Li Haichuan walked down the red carpet to the center of the stage of the synagogue hall and waved to the members of the wealthy nobles who had already taken their seats.
Welcomed by a round of applause, Li Haichuan followed the staff to the position of the Li family in the Great Hall.
Seeing that Li Haichuan had just stepped off the red carpet, Li Hongtian couldn't wait to walk on the red carpet.
The next person who walked on the red carpet is Li Haihai's family, the younger brother of the head of Li Haichuan's family. The young man who walked in the front must be the young master Li Hongtian, who has the highest status among the men of the Li family. β
When Li Hongtian heard the host say that he was the highest-ranking man in the Li family, at this moment, his momentum instantly rose, and he craned his neck and slowly walked towards the center of the stage with a posture of looking at the world.
