At this time, it was breakfast time at the Tang family, and because the weather was not good, the crystal candle chandelier in the restaurant was turned on. The long dining table is covered with snow-white towels and lined up with large flat plates containing omelettes, fried bacon sausages, tomato sauce crepes, bacon sandwiches, grilled toast and a variety of salads. Coffee makers, juice jugs, jams, peanut butter, black olives, caviar and other side dishes are arranged in staggered spaces between the plates.

There are only three people seated at the table with a wide variety of dishes. Sitting in the middle was Tang Lide, who was cutting the fried sausages with a knife and fork, and said: "Tonight is the dinner party at Banyan Tree Manor, Jenny prepare well, Xinlian, you see whether to accompany Jenny to the beauty salon in the afternoon, or let the stylist come over to dress up well, be sure to make it beautiful." ”

"Let's ask the stylist to come over, and by the way, you can choose your clothes well." Mu Xinlian is still very confident in her daughter's appearance, after all, she was also a beautiful woman in the wealthy circle of Rongcheng when she was young. And she chose to marry Tang Lide because Tang Lide was handsome and chic when she was young, if it weren't for a pleasing face, with Tang Lide's phoenix man's family background, she wouldn't be able to climb their Mu family: "Jenny must behave well tonight, and she can't be willful." Even if he can't choose, he can't surprise anyone in the Li family, including housekeepers and servants. ”

"Mom and Dad, the dinner party you are talking about at Banyan Tree Manor should not be the legendary 'concubine'?" Tang Jenny first looked at Tang Lide and then at Mu Xinlian.

"Which one else is there besides that?" Mu Xinlian smiled proudly at her daughter.

Although 'choosing a concubine' is a joke among the celebrities in Rongcheng, the Li family is not to mention that in Rongcheng, even the whole of Asia can be regarded as a famous family. The Li family's choice of fiancée for the heir is also like the ancient royal family's selection of concubines, and after the heir becomes an adult, nine girls with outstanding appearance, talent, and family background will be selected every year for the heir to choose. The girl chosen at the 'Concubine Banquet' will stay at Banyan Tree Manor for half a year, and if she gets along well with the heir during this half year, she will have a grand engagement. If two people don't get along well, they will be sent home. However, the Li family is rich and rivals the country, even if the girl is sent back, she will get an unusually rich fortune to make up for the youth or other things that have passed in the past six months.

Such a 'concubine selection' sounds ridiculous, but there are still countless daughters of Shuyuan who are proud to be shortlisted for the 'concubine selection'. Because the shortlisting itself is an affirmation of the family's talent and appearance, if you are lucky enough to be able to get the favor of the heirs of the Li family, you will be half the success if you marry into a top wealthy family in one step. In the half a year that she stayed at Banyan Tree Manor, as long as she found a way to get the blood and blood of the Li family, she would be able to sit firmly in the position of the future hostess of Banyan Tree Manor.

"How could I go?" Tang Zhenni was very surprised, if the daughter of the Mu family participated in the 'selection of concubines', there would be no suspense, and her mother also participated in it back then. However, her surname is Tang and not her surname is Mu, although after the support of her grandfather and uncle, the Tang family has developed well in Rongcheng, but it is obviously not enough to let her be shortlisted for the 'concubine'.

"Mrs. Li has always been very fond of water lotus, and some time ago, your uncle asked someone to transplant a few plants and send them to Banyan Tree Manor. Mr. Li was very happy, and your uncle mentioned the dinner by the way, and Mr. Li casually agreed...... "Mu Xinlian thought that there are no girls in the Mu family's generation, and my brother will bring Jenny like this, in case Jenny can be selected, the Tang family will be in Rongcheng in the future, and it will be good to enjoy the shade with their backs against the big tree."

"But...... At least you should have told me in advance......" Jenny Tang bit her lip, such an opportunity to ascend to the sky is naturally rare, and she also wants to seize it, the more tricky problem is that this matter is too sudden, and she is not prepared at all.

"At that time, Mr. Li just responded casually, and your uncle didn't expect that people would really send the invitation card. Okay, you hurry up and have breakfast, eat a little more. Mu Xinlian sandwiched an omelette for her daughter, "Don't eat it for lunch, it doesn't look good in a dress when your stomach is bloated." ”

"Mom, I'm only 17 years old and I'm still in school, how can I ......" Tang Zhenni really didn't know how to convince her parents not to let herself participate in that damn 'concubine selection'.

She had heard a long time ago that all the girls who participated in the 'selection of concubines' had to undergo a physical examination, and they had to undergo a physical examination. Tang Jenny always thought that her family background would not have the opportunity to participate in the 'selection of concubines'. And she has been studying in the United States since junior high school, and God knows how crazy the teenagers and girls over there are. If you don't have that experience at the age of 15, you will be ridiculed in their small circle. So her fifteenth birthday was celebrated at the most famous nightclub in Miami Beach. Her best friends gave her a superb cowherd as a birthday gift to celebrate her birthday. When Jenny Tang used to listen to her girlfriends describe that kind of taste, she always felt that they were too exaggerated, and that 'the brain is blank' and 'every cell is burning' is simply exaggerated.

When she really tried it, she just loved the feeling of wanting to die. Jenny Tang had already figured out that no one knew how she played in the United States. Now it's enough to play first, anyway, the technology is so advanced, it's good to wait until you reach the age to talk about marriage and then go to Japan for a repair surgery. But now the family has arranged for her to participate in the 'selection of concubines', even if she goes to surgery immediately, it is too late.

Jenny Tang also knows how rare such an opportunity is, so let her parents know that she lives such a debauched life in the United States, so that it affects the 'choice of concubine', and it is strange not to peel her skin!

"Jenny, are you stupid? Go to the dinner party at Banyan Tree Estate, do you know how many wealthy daughters want to go, but can't go! Mu Xinlian glared at Tang Jenny with hatred.

"You must go to the banquet in the evening, now do as your mother says!" Tang Lide glanced at Tang Jenny, he usually loves Tang Jenny very much, but in front of this major interest relationship related to the entire Tang family and even the Mu family, he still can't give her a chance to make her temperamental.

"Daddy......" Jenny Tang pouted, "I'm still so young......"

The housekeeper walked into the restaurant, as the old man of the Tang family, he was still relatively clear about the affairs of the Tang family, and a woman surnamed Ye was definitely a taboo.

The housekeeper looked at Mu Xinlian first before he spoke: "Master, there is a young lady surnamed Ye outside who wants to see you......"

Sure enough, before Tang Lide could speak, Mu Xinlian slapped the knife and fork in her hand on the table with a bang, looking bald and harsh in the quiet space. Mu Xinlian really hated the root of her teeth, because she had several abortions, Mu Xinlian later became prone to miscarriage, when she was pregnant with a child, she lay in the sanatorium almost all day to raise the baby. Tang Lide was messing around outside, and he also made a little sinner.

Just last month, Tang Lide went to Fengcheng to meet that slut. But now that my father has passed away, it's not easy to tell my brother about this kind of thing. Mu Xinlian didn't want to have a hard time with Tang Lide, but secretly asked people to clean up that slut. Mu Xinlian took a deep breath, didn't she say that people were almost dead when they were sent to the hospital? How can you still find it now? Could it be that the little sinister is here?

Mu Xinlian always thought that Ye Ning was involved in her marriage with Tang Lide, and she was an out-and-out junior. What she didn't know was that Ye Ning and Tang Lide were boyfriend and girlfriend who had been in love for eight years. In order to cling to the power of the Mu family, Tang Lide postponed the marriage again and again. Until Tang Lide and Mu Xinlian have been married for more than a year, Ye Ning is still waiting for Tang Lide, who has been in love for eight years, to marry her. When Ye Ning came to Tang Lide with the test sheet of three months pregnant, what she saw was that Tang Lide was giving Xide's daughter a full moon wine at the most luxurious Sovereign Hotel in Rongcheng. Ye Ning was stunned at the time, feeling that the man she had loved for eight years was terrifyingly strange. Ye Ning took the child in her belly to several places, and finally settled in Fengcheng.

Tang Lide's company is now on the right track, and he has gradually grasped the economic power himself. Some time ago, he went to Fengcheng to find Ye Ning, hoping to fulfill his responsibilities as a father and send their daughter to study abroad, or buy a property in Fengcheng so that their mother and daughter can live a good life. But Ye Ning refused what he said, and even refused to let his daughter see him. He also said that he hoped that he would not disturb their peaceful life in the future.

Tang Lide really wanted to go out and see who was looking for him. But seeing Mu Xinlian's gloomy face, Tang Lide still couldn't tear his face with Mu Xinlian, his eldest brother was a ruthless character. Tang Lide coughed lightly and said in a deep voice: "Just say I'm not there." ”

"Yes, sir." The butler turned and went out.

Ye Nianchu raised his head and looked at the gray sky a little blankly. The dark clouds in the sky pressed low, as if you could reach out and touch those lead-gray clouds. It must have been raining, and the sky was getting darker, and it seemed like it was about to shatter into countless pieces of lead and fall on her.

The intercom in the building suddenly rang, and a cold voice came out: "The master is not here." ”

"That'...... When will he return? Ye Nianchu asked anxiously.

"When will the master come back, it's not for us as subordinates to inquire." The butler over there was already a little impatient.

"But......" Ye Nianchu still wanted to ask where Tang Lide went, but the other party had already turned off the walkie-talkie.

The torrential rain fell unexpectedly, and the raindrops the size of beans hurt a little when they hit my body. Ye Nianchu took out an umbrella from his bag and held it up, but a small umbrella really didn't play a role in the storm. The view is not good in the rainstorm, and there is not much shelter around.

Ye Nianchujing was like a stubborn little tree, standing silently in the wind and rain, looking at the dim rain in front of him.

Ye Nianchu didn't know how long she had been standing in the rain, she saw three cars driving into the villa intermittently, she didn't know which car had Tang Lide in it, and she didn't even have the courage to come forward and ask.
