Nothing was said all night.

The early morning sun shrouded the entire Zhonghai City, and there was no cloud in the past, which showed that the weather was good today.

Ji Nian was not on duty last night, and he was very refreshed after getting up and washing, thinking that he was going to attend an elder's birthday banquet with the two Hu Xi sisters today, he always felt that it would be a little rude to go without some gifts. But if he is asked to prepare rashly, it is really difficult, after all, he doesn't even know who the birthday star is, how to choose a gift?

Yes, let's do it for the time being, anyway, I am the follower of the two Hu Xi sisters, and I think I used to eat and drink.

The entrance of the Chinese Medicine Hospital.

After Hu Xi drove her Beetle over, Ji Nian sat neatly in the passenger seat, which made Hu Li pout.

"I said you can't sit in the back row?"

"I want to sit in the front and see the scenery outside." Ji Nian pretended to be deep.

Poof.

The two sisters laughed at the same time, Ji Nian has this kind of ability, and can always inadvertently enliven the dull atmosphere.

"I said, you two sisters, now you should be able to tell me whose birthday party we're going to, right? Hu Li, you notified me yesterday as if you were giving an order, and I didn't even prepare a gift. Let's talk about it first, I'm going to be the follower of you two sisters today, and I'll eat and drink by the way. Ji Nian said with a smile on his side.

"I didn't want you to prepare a gift, so you just went to eat and drink." Hu Li touched the brocade box containing the bloodstone seal in his hand, and confirmed again: "Ji Nian, are you sure about these two bloodstone seals?" My sister and I came to give birthday gifts on behalf of my grandfather, if it was a joke, you would look good! ”

Ji Nian pouted speechlessly.

"Don't worry, my little aunt, absolutely yes, these two pieces are aquatic plants and flower bloodstones, which are the best products in bloodstones, and the market price is about 600,000 yuan. Not to mention that money is not rich, the key is that no matter how rich you are, you can't buy this kind of superb goods. If you don't want to give it as a gift, I really want you to collect it, after all, it is a valuable thing, and I dare not say anything else, there is absolutely no problem with doubling the price in two years. ”

"Hehe, I believe you." Hu Li's eyes suddenly narrowed into a line with a smile.

The warm sun shines on the streets and alleys of Zhonghai City, and when you sit in the car and look out through the car window, every building in front of you is as charming as if it is dressed in gold.

The Beetle has been heading west since it set out.

Forty minutes later, the Beetle drove into a resort area on the outskirts of Zhonghai City and stopped outside one of the villas. The architectural style of the whole villa takes the traditional **** style route, which is antique, and the two stone lions squatting at the door are particularly conspicuous. In addition to the stone lions, the hanging red lanterns show a bit of ancient charm.

Ji Nian was the first time to come to this kind of place, and when they got out of the car, they found that there were already many cars in the parking lot outside, and people walked towards the villa one after another with large bags of gifts, no need to think about it, they must have come to attend the birthday banquet. These people are either suits and leather shoes, or standard little dresses, the men are handsome, and the women are noble.

"I said Hu Li, the grade of this place you brought me here doesn't seem to be low, could it be that the people in it are either rich or expensive?" Ji Nian narrowed his eyes, swept to the lively scene under the red lantern, and asked.

Sensing that Ji Nian's tone was a little wrong, Hu Li hurriedly said, "You won't be angry, will you?" ”

"Angry? Why? Ji Nian raised his eyebrows.

"Because I didn't tell you who I want to congratulate you on today's birthday, in fact, you don't have to think too much, my sister and I didn't tell you because we didn't think it was necessary." Hu Li explained.

"Xiao Nian, the birthday star who wants to celebrate his birthday today is Lu Zhongyuan Lu Lao, a very famous old man in Dongzhou Province, Xiaoli and I will come to celebrate the birthday completely because of the instructions of the family, thinking that we will leave after eating, so I didn't introduce you in advance." After Hu Xi parked the car, he came over just in time to hear Ji Nian's words and said with a smile.

"I said Sister Xiaoxi, Hu Li, what do you think of me, am I the kind of person who gets angry easily? I'm just asking, where do I think too much? Hurry up, let's go in too. Ji Nian patted Hu Li on the shoulder, gave the other party a reassuring look, and then the three of them walked into the villa together.

Inside the villa.

This villa adopts the architectural model of a mountain villa, and the area inside is very large, perhaps considering that there are a lot of people attending the birthday banquet, so the overall layout is very intimate. In addition to the well-prepared dining table inside, a large buffet was held on the lawn outside the villa, with a variety of small and delicate snacks and fruits placed on the neat white table, and a few waiters walking around, holding glasses of champagne and red wine.

"Let's go over there to visit the elders, Ji Nian, you can just go around." Hu Li said.

"Busy with you, I'm here to eat and drink anyway." Ji Nian said and picked up a glass of champagne from the waiter's plate and drank it.

"Okay, I'll look for you later."

"Can't find a call."

"Understood."

Ji Nian watched the Hu Xi sisters leave and began to wander around on their own, and he didn't ask the identities of the two Hu Xi sisters from beginning to end. Because he has a premise for making friends, he will never force any friend to tell any secrets. Who can live without secrets? As long as it doesn't affect being friends. He is broad-minded, otherwise others will definitely ask, what does your family do, it must be either rich or expensive, right? Otherwise, you can come here to visit the birthday star?

The circle theory will never go out of style.

If you don't want to say it, you don't need to say it, you always say it when you want to say it, it's that simple to be friends.

With this kind of laid-back heart, Ji Nian walked around and admired the villa. That is, now, in normal times, it is impossible for him to come in casually.

When Ji Nian was wandering around, there were bursts of conversations in his ears, the content was basically the same, and it could be classified as a purpose, which made him finally understand the meaning of this birthday banquet.

"You said that when Lu Lao shows up for a while, should we go and toast?"

"I said you're stupid, you're going to toast? Are you qualified? Don't see a few characters over there? People are the real heavyweights. ”

"Obediently, aren't those the chief officials of several cities in our Dongzhou Province? How did they come here? ”

"It's a simple thing, they are all Lu Lao's protégés, and it's normal to come over to celebrate his birthday. Besides, don't you know? The Lu family behind Lu Lao is powerful in Dongzhou Province, who doesn't want to show up now. Mr. Liu, look at your expression, you know this, but you deliberately led me to say it, you are not authentic! ”

"Mr. Jiang, you think too much, I don't have so many complicated ideas."

"You haven't yet? Don't you just want to take advantage of this banquet to catch up with the Lu family's Lu Group? You're eyeing the No. 9 lot in your city, right? ”

"Mr. Liu, don't talk about me, I'm afraid you also want the project in your city's commercial street, right?"

……

It turned out that the person who had his birthday was an old man named Lu Lao, and the Lu family behind him had a lot of say in Dongzhou Province, so many people came to celebrate his birthday. In this way, the Huxi and Huli sisters must not be simple, otherwise how can they talk to the Lu family.

Ji Nian thought secretly in his heart, and just walked to the edge of the lawn of the villa, and saw a few young talents in suits and leather shoes standing over there who looked like successful people, so he thought about turning around and preparing to return. Just as he was about to take a step, he paused for a moment after hearing what they were talking about, and then a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Brother Zu, are you really sure that you will succeed in catching up with Rumi at this birthday banquet?"

"Aren't you talking nonsense? Who is our ancestral brother, who has been in the midst of thousands of flowers, and the love saint who does not touch the leaves. No matter who it is, as long as it is favored by Brother Zu, who can escape? ”

"Brother Zu wants to have a family background, he wants to have a good look, he wants to be talented, and he is more than enough for Rumi."

What was touted by several people was a handsome young man with a height of more than one meter and eight meters, and his specially designed shape was matched with fair skin, which was definitely full of appearance. The evil smile that occasionally appears at the corner of the mouth exudes a deadly lethality, which will definitely intoxicate many.

His name is Lin Yaozu, and he is the leader of this group.

Listening to the compliments around him, Lin Yaozu raised the corners of his lips indifferently, stroked the ring with his slender thin fingers, and said proudly: "You are right, Rumi will be in my pocket sooner or later, and they all say that she is a tsundere woman, an iceberg queen, and she disdains any man." That didn't meet me, otherwise I would have taken it down a long time ago. That is, I studied abroad for two years before I came back, otherwise I would have been the son-in-law of the Lu family two years ago. Don't believe it, my grandfather is here for today's birthday banquet, and you all know who my grandfather Lin Youliang is, that is the president of our Dongzhou Provincial Calligraphy Association, and the relationship with Lu Lao is irreversible, our two families can be said to be a family, I really can't think of what Lu Mi used to reject me. ”

"Brother Zu made a move, and he succeeded."

"Brother Zu is mighty."

"As long as Brother Zu's courtship is successful, I'll ask for great health care tonight."

……

I see.

No matter how confused Ji Nian is, he can figure out a few things at this moment. First, Dare to Love Rumi is the granddaughter of Gong Lu Lao, the birthday star of this birthday banquet, and she definitely knows the Huxi and Huli sisters. Otherwise, when she heard last night that she promised her classmates to come to the birthday banquet, how could she be so calm? It turned out that I knew that I was coming to this birthday banquet. Second, Rumi didn't deceive himself, and sure enough, someone was going to make trouble at the birthday banquet, which is probably what he said. Third, is he going to play Rumi's boyfriend in a while?

"But how can I explain it to Hu Li?"

Ji Nian felt a tingling in his scalp.

"Brother Zu, what we just said seems to have been heard by that person." At this moment, there was a sudden sentence from behind Ji Nian.

Phew.

The eyes of several people suddenly shot hotly, Lin Yaozu glanced at Ji Nian with disdain, and said proudly: "If you hear it, you hear it, it's just an inconspicuous ant, do you dare to provoke us?" Don't pay attention to him, I don't know whose follower is who sneaks in to eat and drink. ”

"Brother Zu is wise and martial, you can guess this."

"You can tell by the clothes he wears that he is a poor ghost."

"Can you mix in this kind of place? Or let's get him out." ”

Just when they were about to scold Ji Nian, a coquettish cheer sounded from not far away, which made these people stunned for an instant, and they all looked at Lin Yaozu in unison, revealing a little fear in their nervous expressions.
