Chapter 22: Wonderful

Looking at Shangguan Mingyue who was slowly walking down, Lin Dong was a little stupid. He knew that Shangguan Mingyue was very beautiful, but he never thought that he would be so thrilling to be beautiful with a little dressing, and words were no longer enough to describe it.

However, Lin Dong quickly came to his senses, and there was a feeling of pride in his heart. Life can have such wisdom and beauty coexist, what more could a fiancΓ©e and husband ask for.

A man in his forties slowly walked to Shangguan Mingyue's side, with infinite warmth on his face. took her hand and walked to the front of the stage, and said with a smile: "Welcome to the little girl's birthday banquet and coming-of-age ceremony, Shangguan is shocked to thank you." ”

As Shangguan's shocking words fell, the lights in the hall brightened again. Perhaps it was a long-term relationship with officials, Lin Dong noticed that Shangguan Shocking seemed to have an invisible power in his body, a bit similar to the old man he had seen. It's just a lot weaker than the old man.

Seeing Shangguan holding that beautiful little hand, Lin Dong was a little jealous, wishing that person was himself. But he also believes that there will be a day when he will walk in the sun with Shangguan Mingyue's hand.

Raising his hand to suppress the fierce applause from the audience, Shangguan spoke again today. It's just that this time his face has become a lot more serious: "I asked the old man to come out and officiate the coming-of-age ceremony for the little girl." ”

Old man: Who? The following caused a wave of doubt. Of course, Lin Dong knew very well that the so-called old man was the head of the Shangguan family, that is, Shangguan Mingyue's grandfather.

Looking at the old man who slowly walked down from the attic, the audience erupted in violent applause again. This is both respect and admiration, admiration for an older generation of revolutionaries.

But Lin Dong's eyes widened, and he looked at the old man on the stage with a majestic face in disbelief. Isn't this the old man I just met? How did he become Shangguan Mingyue's grandfather in a blink of an eye.

Lin Dong couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, no wonder he felt that Shangguan Jingtian was a bit similar to this old man, it turned out that they were father and son. However, he was even more worried about what he had just boasted to the old man Shangguan, and he didn't know what his old man would think in his heart.

The appearance of the old man instantly made the atmosphere of the banquet reach *, and the applause lasted for a long time. No one would have thought that the old man Shangguan, who had been behind the scenes for many years, would appear here, which made everyone feel even more that his old man valued Shangguan Mingyue. Of course, his eyes are even hotter, if he can get Shangguan Mingyue's favor, then the grave will be smoking, and he will rise from then on.

The old man looked doting, and encouraged Shangguan Mingyue, from now on, he will be a real adult. Shangguan Mingyue was smiling throughout the whole process, showing everyone's demeanor. However, Lin Dong sensitively noticed that there seemed to be a little sadness in this smile.

The old man seemed to have come here to preside over Shangguan Mingyue's coming-of-age ceremony, and after a brief meeting, he returned to the attic. It's just that when he went upstairs, his eyes were fixed on Lin Dong's body, and a weird smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he was terrified when he saw it. Shangguan Jingtian also brought the older generation into the inner room, and then returned the scene to a group of young people.

Without the presence of the older generation, the atmosphere at the scene is much more lively. Everyone focused on Shangguan Mingyue.

"Miss Shangguan, I have a South Sea pearl for you here, I hope you will always be as young and beautiful as a pearl. A handsome-looking young man gave his gift first.

This person is unknown to everyone at the scene, the representative of the third generation of the Zhao family in Yanjing - Zhao Ting. At a young age, he sat in the position of general manager of the Zhao consortium, which can be described as a promising future. If nothing else, he will be at the helm of the Zhao family in the future.

The Zhao family, one of the four major gates of Yanjing. It has a long heritage, and it is said that it has the blood of the Zhao dynasty, and the background is even more unfathomable.

It's just that the previous generation at the helm made a mistake in decision-making and amassed a lot of money in that special period, but neglected the cultivation of official heritage. Although wealth has increased dramatically, there has gradually been a hidden crisis.

Everyone knows that in this era, without a tough background, the more wealth the more dangerous. It's like a steaming bun that everyone wants to take a bite of. Therefore, finding a strong backer is an urgent matter for the Zhao family at present.

The power is too great, they dare not look for it, for fear that they will be swallowed by others, and there is no dregs left; It just so happened that the Shangguan family had become their best target. Because there are no men in the core of the Shangguan family, no matter how huge the property is in the hands of outsiders in the future.

Seeing that the gift was preempted, the rest of the people regretted it for a while, hating that they didn't seize the opportunity to be courteous first. But they also have to sigh at the weight of this gift.

The pearl glowed slightly in Zhao Ting's palm, and it was a little dazzlingly beautiful. If the lights hadn't been on, it would have been a different story.

Shangguan Mingyue was also slightly distracted, this is not a pearl at all, but a rare night pearl in the South China Sea. It is quite rare to circulate in the world, and the most recent inscription also appears in the crown of Cixi. It's just that with the war, the pearl of the night is gone.

Zhao Ting smiled and looked very confident. He believed that no woman could resist the temptation of the Night Pearl. For this gift, he searched through his family's treasure trove before finally finding such an item that satisfied him.

It's a pity that he was disappointed, Shangguan Mingyue said lightly: "I'm sorry, this gift is too expensive, I can't accept it." ”

Zhao Ting's smile suddenly froze on his face, embarrassed. If this gift can't be given today, won't it be clear to tell everyone that Zhao Ting is out?

Lin Dong smiled on his side, he knew that Shangguan Mingyue would not accept gifts from others, except for his own, of course.

The rest of the people seemed to see hope at the moment, and some people couldn't help but sarcastically say: "A broken bead is embarrassed to take it out and show off, of course Miss Shangguan won't want it." ”

Following the sound, a guy wearing a hanging bomb appeared in front of everyone. Big back, floral shirt, big pants, a pair of leather shoes on the feet, and the most important thing is that a gold chain around the neck emits bursts of golden light under the illumination of the light.

All of this is telling people that I have a mine at home, and I am in a gold mine.

Everyone couldn't help but complain in their hearts, where did the old hat come from, and it was embarrassing to come here. Especially Zhao Ting, who was ruined by such an explosion of wealth, felt as uncomfortable as eating a fly.

This guy didn't care about other people's eyes, he came to Shangguan Mingyue with a smile, and said calmly: "Miss Shangguan, don't misunderstand, I don't mean anything else." I also knew that Miss Shangguan didn't look down on me as a big man, but my father told me to come again. So, just take my gift. ”

Shangguan Mingyue also looked at this strange thing that appeared in front of him with a confused face, and couldn't come back to her senses for a long time. I really don't know who my father invited.

Lin Dong admires this guy a little, although he is dressed a little sassy, he is definitely true temperament, not as hypocritical as other guys.

In the contemptuous eyes of everyone, this guy took out a check and handed it to Shangguan Mingyue very coquettishly. Said lightly: "In Xia Lin Feng, a little heart is not a respect......

Everyone thought that Shangguan Mingyue would refuse, but what was surprising was that they accepted it. Shangguan Mingyue was also confused for a while, and she didn't know why she would accept it.

Lin Feng was very proud, and reached out to touch his big back. looked at Zhao Ting with some disdain, and said lightly: "Boy, learn a little." It's really good to send money this year. People can buy whatever they want. ”

Everyone thinks this guy is too cheesy, but they have to admit that what they say makes sense. A few of the guys secretly put away the gifts they had prepared earlier, and then took out the checks and drew them.

Zhao Ting vomited blood angrily, is Miss Shangguan short of money? What people want is a heart.

But he didn't understand why a proud girl like Shangguan Mingyue would eat this. The hand holding the night pearl stopped there awkwardly, not knowing what to do.
