The Li family is a newly promoted famous family in Deakin City, and the decoration of the Li Mansion has also put a lot of effort into it.

The entire front yard is very large and uniquely arranged, with delicate marble floors and orderly patches of grass that are clearly well-manicured.

There are rockeries, green plants, ponds, pavilions, small bridges, etc. in the yard.

Directly in front of the doorway, a "golden bull" with a body length of more than five meters raised its front hooves and its high head glaring ahead.

This is the Li family's martial soul silverhorn cow, the whole body is made of silver essence, but as Li Shaowei's martial soul mutated into a golden-horned cow, Li Guangran was overjoyed and ordered someone to repaint the statue with gold powder.

It is not only to highlight the status of the Li family, but also to inspire the younger disciples of the Li family.

The arrangement of the tables at this banquet is also very particular, and the center of the courtyard is a one-meter high platform, which is not very large, and it is estimated that it will be used for a speech.

There are four tables around the high platform, all of which are occupied by the big names of Deakin City, and each table is accompanied by the Li family.

Further out, that is, in the second circle, the number of tables has increased to eight, and the status of the people who can sit here will not be too low, but it is much worse than the first circle, and most of them are some juniors who follow the elders and famous soul masters.

As for the third and fourth circles, there is no need to say more, the further you go, the lower your status, and the people who sit here are basically businessmen who have dealings with the Li family and squires and tyrants from various towns and villages.

And Xu Ran and Xing Ling were sitting at a certain table in the fourth circle.

Maybe it's because the identities of Xu Ran and the others are not important, or maybe the position they sit in is too partial, and half of the dishes on other tables are already piled up, but he only has a poor plate of "golden dragon eggs" here.

Commonly known as fried peanuts.

However, Xu Ran didn't care about this, and while picking up a peanut and throwing it into his mouth, he looked at the high platform in the center of the yard intentionally or unintentionally.

At this moment, Li Guangran was talking to Xia Mingfeng offstage, both of them had smiles on their faces, and occasionally let out a burst of laughter, and they looked closer than brothers with their shoulders on their backs.

And Xia Yanran on the side also had a "sincere" smile on her face, dealing with the young children gathered around various families, and at the same time, her eyes would look at Xu Ran's side from time to time.

A girl like her, who has both appearance, figure, and strength, and is the daughter of the city lord, is undoubtedly the dream lover of countless teenagers in Deakin City.

But she only has disgust in her heart for these young people who are courteous to her, especially after seeing Xu Ran's qualifications against the sky, this feeling has become stronger and stronger.

even made her hate to participate in various parties from the bottom of her heart, and hated to be buzzed in her ears by a group of flies that were neither strong nor incomprehensible.

Just when Xia Yanran was thinking about whether to find an excuse to leave, she saw Li Hu come to Li Guangran's side quickly and whispered a few words in his ear.

Li Guangran nodded after hearing this, then left Xia Mingfeng for the time being, tidied up his brand-new robe, and climbed the high platform with a smile on his face.

As Li Guangran ascended the high platform, soon all the guests in the courtyard were seated under the guidance of the waiter, and the scene was quiet for a while.

"First of all, I would like to welcome you all to my Lee family in the midst of your busy schedule to attend my Lee Kuang Ran's 70th birthday. On behalf of all the Li family, I would like to express my gratitude to all of you for coming. ”

Li Guangran's words fell, and there was a burst of warm applause in the audience.

Pressing his hands around, and after the applause subsided, Li Guangran continued, "Actually, there is another important thing to announce today in addition to my birthday, that is, my eldest grandson Li Shaowu and Duan Qianqian, the beloved daughter of the boss of Qingfeng Building, will enter into a marriage contract today. As an elder, I hope that these two children will be happy and long in the future, and it is best to give me a big fat great-grandson as soon as possible. ”

As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted laughter from the audience.

At the suggestion of Li Guangran, a pair of young men and women walked up to the stage holding hands in the "flower rain" to meet everyone.

The man is tall and handsome, the woman is lively and cute, and the two are full of love in their eyes whenever they look at each other, which makes many people envious in their hearts and offer their blessings one after another.

"I wish Gongzi Li and Miss Duan happiness and a long time!"

"I wish Gongzi Li and Miss Duan harmony and beauty, and give birth to a noble son early!"

"Best wishes ......"

Looking at the couple on the stage, Xu Ran didn't care much about it, but suddenly felt a slight tremor on the table in front of her, and when she looked up, she found that Xing Ling was lowering her head, and the trembling of the table was also caused by the trembling of her body.

"Didn't you say you could accept it?"

Xu Ran patted Xing Ling's back, and there was a hint of ridicule in his tone.

Hearing Xu Ran's words, Xing Ling first secretly wiped his tears, and then raised his head stubbornly and retorted, "Originally, I just ...... It was just sand in my eyes. ”

"Sand? I think you're getting a stone in your eye. ”

"Hmph, I want you to take care of it!"

"Anyway, this Duan Qianqian looks older than you, she should be your cousin."

"Hmm."

"She was the one who slapped you in the first place?"

Xing Ling's eyes showed a sadness that was difficult to hide, and although he didn't want to admit it, he finally nodded slightly.

Seeing Xing Ling admitting, Xu Ran did not continue to answer, he carefully tasted the fragrant tea in the teacup, but his eyes had changed a little when he looked at Duan Qianqian on the high platform again.

At this time, the sound of blessings in the audience was becoming less and less, and suddenly a rough shout sounded, attracting the attention of all the guests.

"I wish Gongzi Li and Miss Duan a sweet and sweet life, and love them for a lifetime, in order to show their hearts, this purple jade night pearl will be given to the two of them."

I saw a burly man get up from the second circle of seats, holding a crystal clear bead in his hand, the bead is light purple as a whole, even in the daytime it still exudes a little light, very beautiful.

Seeing this, a waiter hurriedly stepped forward to accept the gift and expressed his gratitude.

With the beginning of the big man, more and more guests got up to give gifts, although they were very heroic when they shot one by one, and the smile on their faces was also very sincere, but they didn't know that they had already scolded the Li family in their hearts.

Because there was no news of Li Shaowu and Duan Qianqian's engagement before, I only knew that today was Li Guangran's 70th birthday, so everyone only prepared a gift, which was handed over to the guide when they entered the door.

At this moment, it was suddenly announced that the two were engaged, and someone had already started, but anyone who knew a little about human affairs would never sit there and pretend to be stupid, so he could only sacrifice something again.

If you don't have any extra items on your body, you will also ask a good friend to borrow something to offer, scrambling to be the first, for fear of losing the face of the Li family and causing unnecessary trouble.

The gift link went quickly, and it didn't take long for the Li family to receive nearly 100 gifts, although Li Guangran asked everyone not to be so polite throughout the whole process, but the smile on his face was like a blooming old chrysanthemum, not to mention how happy.

He has seen the changes in the Li family over the years, although most of them are due to luck, but he knows it in his heart, and all the guests present are also clear.

The rise of the Li family is unstoppable.

With the end of an old man's gift, no one got up again after more than a dozen breaths, looking at the mountain of gifts Li Guangran nodded secretly, and was just about to announce the start of the banquet, but was interrupted by a somewhat immature voice.

Subconsciously looked up, only to see that in the most corner, a teenager slowly stood up, constantly holding a black cloth bag in his hand.

Although the young man was dressed ordinarily, he was very handsome, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and an indescribable temperament all over his body.

Meantime.

There was still a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Wait, I have a gift for now."
