In the evening, everyone arrived, and Steward Lu informed everyone that they could be seated.

The banquet was held in the glass terrace flower hall of the adjacent restaurant, next to the beautiful and dreamy giant pool, which danced in the light and shadow of dusk.

Qu's mother, who was wearing sunglasses, said: "This is just an ordinary family dinner, so the banquet is set in this not very formal, small terrace flower hall. Having said that, in such a small environment, everyone is more relaxed. ”

Obviously, this terrace is not small at all and not so formal.

The entire hall is nearly the size of a full-size tennis court.

Surrounded by tall silver pillar lights, a long rosewood dining table sits in the center of the Flower Hall, surrounded by twelve Nymphenburg ceramic (1) dining chairs.

The twelve maids stood behind each chair as if they had moved the Twelve Ladies Orchestra to serve every guest who was present tonight.

Because Lixuan is a decoration company, he has long been aware of the wealth and power of Qutang Real Estate, and he is not surprised.

On the contrary, it was Li Wen and Erman, seeing this situation, they were calm on the surface but their hearts were fluctuating, and they wanted to take out their mobile phones to take pictures and show off, but they didn't dare.

Shu Tao said happily: "Before we eat, let me give you a small gift." ”

She nodded at Steward Lu. The lights dimmed, and a voice came from outside, "Tonight, we present you with a song "Jasmine" light fountain show".

As soon as the man finished speaking, the bamboo surrounding the huge pool was instantly illuminated by the light of emerald green, and the water in the pool was lit up with lilac and then pale blue.

Gradually, the music sounds, and thousands of water columns leap into the sky, changing shapes with the rhythm of the music, presenting a colorful mirage.

"Wow, this looks like Sentosa's Wings of Time show!" Qu's mother exclaimed.

"When did you get this?" Father Qu looked at Shutao suspiciously.

"This thing has been secretly working on for months, and I got it when I got back from Paris. It was meant to be for my birthday party next month. ”

"It's just for your birthday?"

"Nonsense! It's also for Shulei! ”

"How much did this cost me?"

"It's not as much as you think, it only cost 200,000."

Father Qu sighed and shook his head helplessly.

Qu's mother said happily: "Seeing how intimate my family is to book Tao, I am busy for my sister's wedding, and now I am busy holding art exhibitions, which is really hard." ”

"It's not hard, it's not hard, it's hard work." Shu Tao saw her mother praising herself, and she couldn't close her mouth with joy.

The mother of the distant mountains in the seat didn't like the Qu Shutao in front of her, and her proud and sophisticated mother. With a stiff smirk, she watched the mother and daughter play pretentiously.

Qu's mother helped her sunglasses, and said to Yue Ran with a smile: "Thank you for coming to my daughter's engagement, I told your mother last week to let her come together, but I didn't expect her to fly to Paris this week." ”

Yue Ran smiled: "Aunt is polite...... Why does my aunt still wear sunglasses at night? ”

Qu Mu sighed exaggeratedly and said, "You have no idea what I've been putting up with lately. ”

She took off her sunglasses and showed her red, swollen eyes: "I can barely open my eyes, and if I see it, I think I have myasthenia gravis." ”

"Do you mean pseudoparalytic myasthenia gravis?" Yue Ran asked.

"Yes, yes, you know about it!" Qu's mother said excitedly, "It will affect the muscles around your eyes. ”

Yue Ran nodded with concern and said, "I've heard that this disease can also cause neurasthenia. ”

"Hey, you see I'm not pitiful, although the youngest daughter is married, but the eldest daughter hasn't even scratched the word, you said that apart from you, which young man would indulge her temper, I have this kind of disease, what if...... What do I have three long and two short, except for you, who will take care of my peaches. ”

When Ma Jun on the side heard this, he wanted to recommend himself, but he was troubled and didn't dare to speak, and he really couldn't get used to seeing Yue Ran in front of him at this time.

"You don't have any pseudoparalytic myasthenia gravis at all! Or whatever, Mom. Your eyes are swollen like this because you've slept too much! If you sleep fourteen hours a day, anyone's eyes will swell like you! Shutao said coldly.

Ma Jun watched their mother and daughter tear each other down, and instantly felt much more interesting.

"I sleep fourteen hours a day, and it's not because of my chronic fatigue syndrome."

"Mom! You don't have the disease either, chronic fatigue syndrome doesn't cause drowsiness! Shu Tao rolled her eyes.

"Whatever you say, when Shulei's marriage is done, I will go to Singapore to find a specialist who can treat pseudoparalytic myasthenia gravis."

Shu Tao rolled her eyes and sighed again, and said to everyone: "My mother has 90% of the working doctors in Asia to serve her!" ”

"It seems that my aunt is very concerned about her health." Li Xuan smiled.

"But I'm more concerned about the future of Shutao and Shulei, and I've found the best obstetricians, gynecologists and maternal and child therapists in Asia, who will come to SH from RB next week." After speaking, Qu's mother smiled at Shu Tao and said, "You are not a big man, hurry up and find a boyfriend, get married next year and have another child." ”

"Mom, I'll only turn 22 next month, what's the hurry!"

"Yo, Shulei is only 20 years old this year, and she has children from far away, think about it, when Shulei is 30 years old, she is young and good-looking, she may almost be a mother of two children, and many women are too late to envy it. You don't look at others, but you compare yourself to your sister. How good it is for a woman to have a baby early, you see I was born late because I was busy with your father's business, and you are only in your early twenties now, but I am too old to look good. ”

Yuanshan's mother smiled: "Yes, Shutao, this is all the kindness of the older generation." You said that I am about to hold my grandson now, and I am happy when I think about it. ”

Shu Tao didn't want to listen to them, glanced at Yuanshan's mother, and thought to herself, you hug your grandson of a big-headed ghost, and the species is not from your family's Yuanshan, and you are so proud!

When the fountain show was over, a column of maids entered the flower hall, each holding a Meissen porcelain (2) plate in their hand. The lights in the flower hall came on again, and plates of delicious paper-wrapped chicken were already on the table.

Everyone uncovered the paper, and the fragrance emanated from the uncovered parchment, and the fragrance overflowed.

Father Qu looked at the dishes, closed his eyes and sniffed them, and said to Yuanshan's father, "Why don't we drink some tiger bone wine?" ”

"Yes, is this wine really made from tiger bones?" Father Toyama asked incredulously.

"Of course, it's a fake."

Next up is Lanzhou-style ramen, which is filled with deshelled lobster meat and abalone. Everyone picked up the chopsticks and was about to start eating noodles, when suddenly, Shutao put down the chopsticks, got up and went to her father, and whispered a few words to her father.

The two of them got up at the same time, "I'm sorry, my dad and I have something to say," Shutao smiled awkwardly.

Shutao pulled her dad downstairs, and then looked back to make sure no one was eavesdropping, and then she began to yell: "How did you do it, I haven't told you countless times, don't make such a loud noise when eating noodles!" You made me sick to my stomach when I listened to it! Moreover, if you vomit your chicken bones directly on the table, Christian Rière (3) would surely have died of a heart attack if he had known that you had vomited garbage on such beautiful works as his own. And how many times have I told you, don't kick your shoes while eating, don't think I don't know if I don't sit next to you! I could smell it from a few meters away! Only I know it's not the taste of stinky tofu stewed with white kidney beans! ”

Mr. Qu smiled at Shu Tao: "You know that I am a fisherman's child, and I have always told you that the country is easy to change and difficult to change. But don't worry, these guests will turn a blind eye too, just with this fat pack," he said, pulling out a Steffano Ricci crocodile purse from his inner pocket, "Even in the best restaurant in China, no one dares to spit on the table." ”

"Dirt leopard! Everyone can change, you are with your mother, won't you learn her elegance? She never opens her mouth when she chews, and she doesn't smile toothlessly, and her gestures with chopsticks are all examples of SH elegant women! ”

"That's because your mother is not a woman in New China, and your grandfather's grandfather's generation is already the richest overseas Chinese in Thailand, how can I compare with your mother."

Shutao was really speechless to his dad and sighed.

Her father shook his head and said, "Hey, I really feel pity and sympathy for Yue Ran, this child. He didn't even know what kind of situation he was in. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Don't lie to your father, I can already see that you are obsessed with that kid of Ma Jun. I feel that Yue Ran wants to propose to you. ”

"Don't make international jokes!" Shutao said that he was still angry about his father's table manners.

"Really? Then why did he come today as soon as your mother called him, and before coming, he asked me if I could marry you. ”

"How could he be so stupid! I hope you told him exactly that we weren't suitable. ”

"I have promised him your marriage, and I have agreed. I think you two are made in heaven, not to mention that this marriage can stop the vicious competition between Qutang Real Estate and Hengyue Real Estate for several years. Father Qu smiled slyly.

"Don't hit me with your company merger idea! Dad, because I'm not interested in marrying Yue Ran! ”

Father Qu laughed, and then whispered to Shu Tao: "Silly girl, I never care if you are interested in him or not, your interest is not in my consideration." ”

With that, they turned and went upstairs.
