Chapter 123: Regret
But, then, he sighed inwardly.
Hua Yitong has been with him for more than ten years, and has worked hard for him and his family for more than ten years, and gave birth to Luo Luo, if he can't give her a real and justified identity now, he will be too sorry for her.
Relatively speaking, it seems that his little guilt about Yuan Man is not worth mentioning.
Forget it, if Manman really feels sad, then it's time to make up for it! Father Yuan made up his mind and made a decision that he thought was reasonable.
In the end, Father Yuan just nodded at Yuan Man and didn't say anything.
Seeing this, although Yuan Man had already foreseen what decision Yuan's father would make, he still couldn't help but feel disappointed - who was ignored by his own father, would feel better?
Sure enough, my father is still more on Hua Yitong's side, after all, she is a wife who has been together for more than ten years!
But, father, that is the murderer of your daughter!
Yuan Man lowered his head, and suddenly felt that his eyes were hot.
Going to tears?
Yuan Man clenched her hand fiercely, and felt a pain in her palm, but she didn't dare to let go of her hand at all, because she was afraid that once she let go, the tears would flow out involuntarily.
How ugly is that!
Yuan Man thought fiercely, concentrating on suppressing the tears and not letting them fall.
Over there, Hua Yitong and Yuan Luo, who occupied a favorable position, became the focus of the audience, and they were out of the limelight.
After Grandpa Yuan and Grandma Yuan sat down, all the guests also sat down.
Grandpa Yuan and Grandma Yuan have always disliked noise, and this birthday banquet is also low-key, of course, all the guests invited are well-known figures in S City, and this kind of thing can't be low-key if you want to.
The birthday gift was already accepted by the welcoming maid when the guests entered the door.
The Yuan family has always been low-key, humble and polite, of course they will not do the kind of impolite thing that opens the birthday gift in public.
What the birthday gift gives, the giver and the recipient each know, that's good.
Previously, Steward Wang originally arranged Yuan Man to be the first person to say congratulations for Grandpa Yuan's birthday banquet. Yuan Man is the eldest daughter of the Yuan family, which is of course understandable and quite justifiable.
However, everything was messed up because of Yuan's father's insistence on giving Hua Yitong and Yuan Luo a correct name.
Now, the first person to say a congratulatory speech has become Yuan Luo.
After the host finished speaking, Yuan Luo stood up happily and said a few words of congratulations, then Yuan's father and Hua Yitong, and then Yuan Man.
It is rumored that Hua Yitong and Yuan Luo, who have never been recognized by the two old people of the Yuan family, not only appeared in the old house of the Yuan family, but also sent birthday banquets to the two old people.
And Yuan Man was originally the eldest daughter, but she was arranged at the end, and Yuan Luo was originally the second daughter, but she was arranged to be the first.
This sequence made the eyes of everyone present widen for a while.
What's going on?
The Yuan family has a big business in S City, so naturally there will be many people who want to tie up, as for those families who are in the same position as the Yuan family, of course, they must also be particularly concerned about such evenly matched opponents or friends.
In just an instant, everyone present was thinking about it, and instantly deduced the possible meaning - I am afraid that the two old men of the Yuan family want to use this to recognize the status of Hua Yitong and Yuan Luo!
For a moment, the courtyard was filled with the whispers of guests.
But that's not the end of the story.
Birthday banquet, of course, there will be longevity peach. Especially people like Grandpa Yuan and Grandma Yuan, who love traditional birthday banquets, how can they agree without longevity peaches?
And the matter of sending longevity peaches was arranged by Hua Yitong and Yuan's father to become the most eye-catching thing at this birthday banquet, and the reason for this is, of course, to better justify Hua Yitong and Yuan Luo.
The shou peach here refers to a delicate and small shou peach makeup consummation made by the chef with ingenuity, which is available on every table.
And the Shou Tao at the main table where Grandpa Yuan and Grandma Yuan were were of course the first to be served.
Seeing that the maid brought a plate of delicate longevity peaches on a tray, Hua Yitong gave Yuan Luo a look, and Yuan Luo immediately stood up and took over the plate of longevity peaches.
As soon as he turned around again, Yuan Luo put this plate of longevity peaches in front of Grandpa Yuan.
The fact that Yuan Luo deliberately squeezed Yuan Man out just now had already made Grandpa Yuan hold his breath.
At this time, Yuan Luo's action made Grandpa Yuan even more dissatisfied.
This Shou Peach brought out by Yuan Luo instantly made him lose his appetite, he really didn't want to eat this Shou Tao, and he really wanted to embarrass this domineering Yuan Luo.
It's just that Shou Tao has a special meaning at the birthday banquet, and now in front of all the guests, if Grandpa Yuan really doesn't eat it, won't he just mess up the entire birthday banquet?
Grandpa Yuan was difficult to ride a tiger for a while, and the anger in his chest was uncontrollable.
Grandma Yuan next to her pulled Grandpa Yuan, and Grandpa Yuan reluctantly picked up a longevity peach, meaning a little.
Seeing this, Hua Yitong felt even more proud in his eyes.
Yuan Luo also hooked the corners of her mouth, and raised her chin proudly at Yuan Man.
If the order of the birthday banquet greetings may have been unintentional before, then now the matter of sending longevity peaches has confirmed the speculation in everyone's hearts.
Didn't you see that this longevity peach was only sent by Yuan Luo alone? This is not even Yuan Man, who is the eldest daughter, has no chance!
And, do you see? Old Man Yuan took the initiative to pick up Shou Tao by himself, if he didn't want to, who could force him? Since he took the initiative, it means that Old Man Yuan really recognized Yuan Luo's status in the Yuan family!
Such remarks will definitely be known to everyone tomorrow!
Of course, everyone never thought that it was Father Yuan who forced Grandpa Yuan to do this, after all, the two are father and son, and the relationship has always been very good.
Of course, there are people from the Mo family among those who think like this.
Mo Mingcheng stared blankly at the scene in front of him, while Mo's father and Mo's mother frowned.
"How so?" Father Mo's heart was full of puzzlement.
He has always put Yuan Man in a higher position than Yuan Luo, and even targeted Yuan Man in the process of his own son's pursuit. This is all based on his long observation and analysis.
Now, however, the truth is slapping him in the face.
Now, no matter how you look at it, Yuan Luo's status in the Yuan family is higher than Yuan Man! This means that Yuan Luo has more value to pursue than Yuan Man!
Father Mo couldn't react for a while, and after a while, he looked at his son.
In this case, isn't his son's previous efforts in vain?
Father Mo was about to speak, but he keenly noticed that his son's expression was really strange, and if he described it, it was like spitting out a fly.
Mo Mu also discovered Mo Mingcheng's abnormality, and asked worriedly:
"Mingcheng, are you okay?"
Mo Mingcheng seemed to be awakened by Mo Mu's words, and said with difficulty;
"It's okay, it's just...... It's just a little surprising. ”
"Yes, I didn't expect that the most valued person in the Yuan family was Yuan Luo instead of Yuan Man," Mo Mu said with a sigh.
And Father Mo said directly:
"Okay, don't think about it before. Mingcheng, since you have separated from Yuan Man before, then don't bother to save it. Later, your goals should be known. ”
"Yes." Looking at the situation now, of course he knew that the target in the future was no longer Yuan Man, but Yuan Luo.
After that, what Mo's father and Mo's mother said, Mo Mingcheng couldn't tell the difference, he only knew that now, his heart was full of regret.
How so?
Mo Mingcheng roared in his heart.
Doesn't it mean that Yuan Man has more value to pursue than Yuan Luo? Why is this not the case at all?
This is not the point, the most regrettable thing for Mo Mingcheng is that Yuan Luo took the initiative to confess to him just now, it is simply fat sent to the door, why did he refuse with righteous words?
If only he had accepted it at that time, wouldn't his goal of becoming the most promising son-in-law of the Yuan family have been achieved?
Regret, regret!
However, he didn't dare to say this matter yet, he knew that if he let Father Mo know that he had done such a stupid thing, he would definitely be cleaned up, maybe even worse than the last time.
He didn't want that.
Therefore, when Mo's father and Mo's mother asked, he could only say "It's okay", and he could only break all his regrets and swallow them in his stomach.
The duck in his hand flew like this, and Mo Mingcheng couldn't be more depressed and regretful in his heart.
This Mo Mingcheng regretted it so much, but he didn't think that he would do such a "stupid thing" because of his greed - if he hadn't coveted Yuan Man's power and status in the Yuan family, how could he have rejected Yuan Luo's confession?
Of course, even if Mo Mingcheng accepts Yuan Luo's confession, it doesn't mean that he is not greedy for power, but that Mo Mingcheng is more of a big radish and a scumbag.
He doesn't love Yuan Luo at all, but he still wants to agree to Yuan Luo's confession, what is this not a scumbag?
Mo Mingcheng's expression was so rich, many guests began to point fingers at him when they saw this, and when Mo's father saw it, he taught Mo Mingcheng a lesson again.
As a result, Mo Mingcheng became even more depressed.
Steward Wang, who was standing on the side, looked at Hua Yitong and Yuan Luo's behavior, and sighed in his heart for his eldest lady.
Originally, all this should have been done by Yuan Man, but later Hua Yitong inserted a shot horizontally and gave all the things to Yuan Luo.
Steward Wang originally wanted to stop it, but he was forced to retreat by Hua Yitong's sentence "The old man has acquiesced, what do you want to do as a housekeeper, don't forget your own identity".
The eldest lady is really pitiful, she lost her mother, and now, even her father is not on her side.
Grandpa Yuan watched all this, watching Hua Yitong and Yuan Luo be in the limelight, but his favorite granddaughter was so aggrieved that he couldn't bear it anymore.
