Chapter 181: A Simple Birthday Family Banquet
Today is Ning Jianye's fifty-seventh birthday, and the Ning family villa is much more lively than before.
Originally, Ning Jianye, as the chairman of Ning's Group, should not have such a simple birthday.
Zhao Shulan had already made plans to hold a birthday banquet, and even the hotel was chosen, but Ning Jianye vetoed it.
According to Ning Jianye's meaning, it's just a birthday, so there's no need to be so grand.
When it is 60th birthday in the future, just hold another big one.
Ning Jianye insisted on it, and Zhao Shulan couldn't say anything.
Ever since her cheating and murder was discovered by Ning Xi, she felt weak as soon as she saw Ning Jianye.
I was afraid that some rumors would reach Ning Jianye's ears, and I was also worried that Ning Jianye would ask about her daily expenses.
In short, during this time, she was almost obedient to Ning Jianye, shushing the cold and asking for warmth, and she was very virtuous.
He even praised Ning Xi in front of Ning Jianye many times, he was young and promising, and he had the demeanor of Ning Jianye when he was young.
This made Ning Jianye feel that his wife seemed to wake up, the family atmosphere was much more harmonious, and his mood was much better.
The so-called home and everything is prosperous.
Zhao Shulan can realize this, Ning Jianye is still very pleased.
Find an opportunity to let Ning Xi reconcile with their mother and daughter, and he will have no regrets.
Today's birthday banquet is a good opportunity, and Ning Xi will definitely come back.
said that it was a simple family banquet, but when Ning Xi came back, he saw Zhao Yibei sitting on the sofa at a glance, chatting with Ning Jianye.
No need to ask, he must have come as Ning Xuan's boyfriend.
As for the two of them being together, in fact, Ning Xi already knew.
At that time, Meng Yilang suddenly ran to find her, just to remind her to be careful of Ning Xuan and Zhao Yibei's marriage.
Although she didn't know why he reminded herself, from Bai Zhi, she learned that Meng Yilang seemed to be very hostile to Zhao Yibei.
It was precisely because of Meng Yilang's reminder that when Ning Xuan and Zhao Yibei got together later, Ning Xi was not surprised.
"Mr. Zhao."
Nodding at Zhao Yibei, as a greeting, Ning Xi gave the packaged gift box in his hand to Ning Jianye.
"Happy birthday, father."
"Good, good."
Ning Jianye was very happy and took the gift box and put it aside.
He didn't care what kind of birthday gift Ning Xi gave, Ning Xi's current results were already the best gift for him.
Ning Xuan, who came over with a fruit bowl, noticed the love in Ning Jianye's eyes, and suddenly felt a taste in her heart.
She had just given Ning Jianye a gift, and she hadn't seen him so happy.
Hmph, what a good thing can be such a small box!
Glaring at Ning Xi's back unwillingly, she rolled her eyes, walked over quickly, and said while putting the fruit plate on the coffee table: "Yo, my brother is back?" What treasures did you give Dad? You're alin, you'll lose face if you're too shabby. ”
"It's nothing, it's just a brooch."
Ning Xi answered Ning Xuan's question with a calm face, as if she couldn't hear that she was squeezing herself.
"Brooches? Hahaha......"
Hearing that it was such an ordinary ornament as a brooch, Ning Xuan immediately laughed.
As a celebrity, she also knows something about Ace, although Ace has also produced several popular brooches, but these are not from Alin, so the influence is not so great.
Even if she used the brooch produced by Isis as a gift, it had no special meaning, and it did not reflect her heart for her father at all.
And the gift she gave was painstakingly selected, and she chose a set of tea sets that were ordered after a long time.
Don't underestimate this red ore carved dragon pattern tea set, which has been described as a "flawless work of art".
Ning Xuan still entrusted Zhao Yibei's blessing to find this set of tea sets worth millions.
Ning Jianye likes to drink tea, so Ning Xuan did what he liked and chose this as a gift.
She just wanted to compare with Ning Xi to see if it was the gift she gave that won her father's heart, or the gift she gave Ning Xi that made her father like it more.
Now it seems that the results have been decided.
"Take it apart and take a look, it must be beautiful." Ning Xuan covered her mouth and smiled, and urged Ning Jianye to open the gift on the spot.
Because it was just a family banquet, except for Zhao Yibei, there were no other outsiders there, and there was no need for too many rules, so it was normal to open gifts on the spot.
However, Ning Jianye took Ning Xi's face into account, and said: "Don't worry, no matter what gift you give me, I'm happy!" ”
This can be regarded as a public maintenance of Ning Xi, and a little fire suddenly appeared in Ning Xuan's eyes.
Father actually defended Ning Xi so much, when did Ning Xi's position in his heart become so high?
Smiling reluctantly, Ning Xuan hugged Ning Jianye's arm and coquettishly: "Dad, I want to see it!" After all, my brother is also a genius jewelry designer, and my vision is naturally blocked, and I also want to learn. ”
is his favorite daughter, Ning Jianye can't resist her, glanced at Ning Xi, and saw that she didn't mean to stop it, so he patted Ning Xuan's hand and said, "Okay, you can tear it down for me." ”
With Ning Jianye's permission, Ning Xuan quickly ripped off the wrapping paper on the gift box, and after opening the box, she took out a palm-sized box.
Lifting the lid of the box, a dark blue brooch lay quietly inside.
It's very average! I don't see anything special at all.
But this also made Ning Xuan more and more proud, and it was really not something special.
"Oh, that's how Master Alin's taste is."
Ning Xuan casually put the box on the coffee table and said mockingly: "Brother, don't say anything else, today is Dad's birthday, how can you fool Dad with such a thing that can be seen everywhere?" ”
Ning Xi indifferently looked at Ning Xuan's emotional performance, and the woman who didn't know the heart was really sad.
And Zhao Yibei on the side saw the brooch the moment he saw it, his eyes deepened a little, and his expression became solemn.
"Xiaoxi, this brooch is...... Light of the Father? ”
Zhao Yibei's voice was a little excited.
Seeing his appearance, Ning Xi knew that he should have recognized the origin of the brooch.
However, it is not surprising that the Zhao family was originally in the jewelry business, although Zhao Yibei's character is not very good, but he still has eyesight.
"That's right, it's the work that Master Abel designed for his father when he was young."
Ning Xi nodded and admitted it, which can be regarded as explaining the origin of this brooch for Ning Jianye.
"But there are only two brooches in the world, one was buried with the corpse of Master Abel's father, and the other he has always treasured, how can you have it?"
Zhao Yibei did not doubt that this brooch was fake, because no one in this world dared to fake Mr. Abel's work.
Furthermore, what is truly precious about this brooch is the meaning it contains, not its own value.
What's more, with this material and process, where is there a need to take such a big risk to copy someone else's design.
"Uh, he gave it to me."
