The next day was Saturday,

Luo Rongcheng and Gu Yulan just celebrated their son's birthday and immediately began to prepare for tomorrow's charity dinner.

Compared with previous years, their task this year is a little easier, after all, their son's birthday party is omitted, and a banquet is a tedious job!

The first thing the couple did in the morning was to make a list of participants and check the items to be auctioned.

The list is mainly arranged according to the gift list of last night's gifts, in short, all individuals, families and company leaders who have given Luo Xingchuan birthday gifts will receive dinner invitations, and the high-class gifts have always been like this, the people in the circle are relatively fixed, and the guests of Luo's charity dinner are not much different every year, that is, there are fewer people who are not in City A, and there are more upstarts in the city.

Time was pressing, and the two of them quickly decided on the guest list.

Luo Rongcheng said, "Let Xingchuan also see who is missing." ”

Luo Xingchuan got up very early today, got up at five o'clock, earlier than his maternal grandparents, and after he hastily ate breakfast alone, he locked himself in his studio, saying that he would prepare for tomorrow's auction.

Luo Rongcheng and Gu Yulan were very happy, because their son's serious state meant that he was going to paint.

Before Ye Tang went to the United States, Luo Xingchuan painted very frequently, and he could produce a work in a week; In the past seven years since she left, Luo Xingchuan has become more and more lazy, and only uses his brushes once a month, especially after entering high school, he doesn't even go into the studio often.

The couple did not force their son, they respected his choice, hobbies are one thing, no matter how talented Luo Xingchuan is in painting and piano, he must inherit the Luo Group in the future and become the helmsman, where can he still take care of painting and playing the piano at that time, don't expect to become a painter or pianist, and cultivate his sentiments.

However, his paintings are undoubtedly one of the best choices as auction items, and in previous years, at charity dinners, they would auction their son's works, and the highest one was auctioned at a price of 10 million yuan. Regardless of the 10 million, how much "friendship price" there is - after all, this money is charity money and is to be donated, but it can also fully explain everyone's affirmation and pursuit of his painting art.

Although the child failed in the exam this time, he got up early in the morning to draw and prepare for the charity dinner, and he was still very sensible!

Gu Yulan took the list and knocked on the door of the studio,

Luo Xingchuan's voice sounded, "Please come in, the door is not locked." ”

Gu Yulan pushed open the door,

His son sat in front of the drawing board, with a brush in his right hand, concentrating on painting, behind which were the floor-to-ceiling windows of the entire wall, and he opened the white curtains, the morning sun poured down on the ground, and there were scattered spots of light on his short hair, which made his skin particularly white.

Gu Yulan was in a trance, her child had grown so big in a blink of an eye, she was already an adult, she still remembered the first time he painted, sitting on the painting bench, his little short legs were raised high, and he couldn't touch the ground.

Luo Xingchuan turned around and saw that it was his mother, so he immediately put down his paintbrush and stood up. He wears a light gray lounge suit, no bib for painting, and some paint on his body. He spent money on clothes for painting, and every time he finished a painting, he had to throw away at least one set of clothes.

"Xingchuan, you come and look at the list of tomorrow night's banquet and see if there's anything wrong," Gu Yulan stood at the door to greet her son, she was afraid of walking in and messing up his furnishings - there were paints, brushes of various sizes, and buckets on the floor.

"Okay," Luo Xingchuan walked over after wiping his hands with a towel.

The list has a total of three pages, a total of 100 people, excluding their relatives and entourage, everyone is a frequent guest of the major banquets, knows the rules, usually only one companion, if there are children, the number is not limited.

Luo Xingchuan saw Su Xiaodong's name at a glance.

Pointing to the name, he asked, "Why did you and Dad invite him again?" ”

"Oh, he sent a birthday present yesterday, his daughter and you are classmates, and they are downstairs neighbors with us, please don't say it," Gu Yulan didn't have much impression of Su Xiaodong before, but she always heard his name recently,

First, he abandoned the seriously ill daughter born to his ex-wife, and for more than ten years, he ignored it and scummed it to the extreme, and this matter has spread all over the community; Second, his daughter won the first place in the examination this time, not only the first in the first middle school, but also the first in the city! Gu Yulan's WeChat group of parents in No. 1 Middle School is congratulating him and his wife on educating their daughter well!

Even if she didn't like this person, for the sake of face, Gu Yulan had to put him on the list. He is one of the new faces of this banquet.

Luo Xingchuan said in his heart, Su Xiaodong's true intention to give him a gift for his birthday is self-evident - he just wants to rub their family's charity dinner!

In previous years, the birthday banquet and the charity dinner were held consecutively, and Su Xiaodong was not qualified to participate in the birthday banquet, so he was naturally not eligible to participate in the follow-up dinner. And this year, the situation is special, the gift is delivered to the home, and they can't return it, in fact, it lowers the entry threshold, so that the cow ghost snake god takes advantage of the loophole.

Gu Yulan saw her son's unhappy expression, she knew that he hated the Su family, "Or I'll delete Su Xiaodong." ”

"No, please just please, let them come and see the world," Luo Xingchuan's words were not without irony, he carefully read the list, and said to his mother, "Since you invited Su Xiaodong, there is another person, you should also invite it." ”

"Who?"

"Ye Tang."

When Gu Yulan heard this name at first glance, she was stunned for a moment, and quickly reacted that her son was referring to the girl who was in the limelight in the live broadcast room last night.

Thinking of her, Gu Yulan felt very magical, when Ye Tang said happy birthday, she and her husband really thought she was saying it to their children, and it turned out to be a big oolong.

"Why invite her? Her background ...... "Gu Yulan wanted to speak and stopped, the purpose of the charity dinner was to help the poor, but it was not suitable for the poor to participate, and that Ye Tang was obviously not a child in their circle.

"Her background is the same as Su Zimu," Luo Xingchuan looked at her mother, "She is the eldest daughter who was abandoned by Su Xiaodong, please the family, shouldn't you invite them over neatly?" ”

Gu Yulan was very surprised, she digested the amount of information in her son's words in a few seconds, and muttered, "No wonder Aunt Qian said that this child was brought up by her grandparents, and that she had autism before...... These do match the number. ”

Speaking of this, Gu Yulan quickly realized a question, "Why do you know her so clearly?" ”

"Because her name is Ye Tang, I will naturally pay attention, don't you and your father think the same way?"
