It turned out that as early as a month ago, the Lu family had chartered a private room on the second and third floors of a nearby restaurant, Tingyu Pavilion, to entertain the guests who came to celebrate their birthdays two days later.

Every year on the old man's birthday, the number of relatives and friends who come to celebrate his birthday increases year by year - after all, the Lu family's business is getting bigger and bigger. Generally, it is arranged to dine and rest in the nearby Tingyu Pavilion.

Although their Lu family's villa is large, they can sit open. But to entertain hundreds of guests at the same time, it is a bit insufficient.

The Tingyu Pavilion Restaurant is a century-old shop, famous in the city, and it is also suitable to entertain distinguished guests.

It's just that the Lu family didn't expect that it would be such a coincidence that the wife of Master Chu of Jiangnan would also celebrate her birthday during this time?

"Master, listen to the boss of the Rain Pavilion, he said that he can rearrange the hall on the first floor for us. The second and third floors are really powerless. Assistant Xiao Li relayed helplessly.

After all, this is a private venue for Master Jiangnan Chu, who dares not to give face and fight for it? Not to mention that I greeted you two days in advance, even if it is the day, I have to pour it out.

"The hall on the first floor, this is too shabby!" Old Continent Xiuming shook his head and said, "Or let's arrange a nearby hotel again." ”

"There are eight houses in ten miles around here, and this is the most prestigious Listening Rain Pavilion. There are no too good restaurants either. "Old Silu Xiumin Road.

Old Man Lu pondered for a moment and said, "The hall on the first floor is the hall! Since we are so lucky to meet Master Chu who holds a birthday banquet for his wife, let's also go and be happy and offer a birthday gift, and see if we can be lucky enough to get to know this Jiangnan bigwig!"

"Yes, yes, yes, Daddy is right!" the eldest son, Lu Xiuming, hurriedly echoed, "If you can recognize this Master Chu, for our family's Tiannan real estate, it will be a key link to develop real estate in Jiangnan in the future." I heard that this Master Chu has the final say!"

"Fourth, you are the smartest in the family, you want to prepare a generous gift, and when the time comes, in the name of our Jinling Lu family, you will give it to you. This matter must be done well!" Old Man Lu commanded again.

"Don't worry, Dad, I will definitely prepare a big gift to make Master Chu's wife happy! Remember our Lu family!" Lu Xiumin said with a smile.

Chu Chen heard these people muttering from the side, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart: I didn't let anyone come to charter the venue? Who did it?

When Chu Chen came, he just thought that he would accompany Lu Manman for her birthday, which was also the first birthday for her after knowing her, and he didn't want to put on a big banquet or anything.

Although Chu Chen had no intention, the listener had the intention. Those wealthy gentry in Jiangnan who went to visit Chu Chen to apologize for the ceremony, after learning about Chu Chen's movements, immediately began to rush to Jinling City.

For a time, all the inquirers from several surrounding cities came one after another to cheer. Even in the East China Sea, the huge rich, led by the Tang family, have arrived in Jinling City one after another.

Subsequently, this meal was eaten without shock.

After the meal, the table was withdrawn, and everyone dispersed one after another.

Old man Lu called his eldest son and younger son again and went to the study to talk in detail.

"Husband, come and get to know my mom and dad. After the meal, Lu Manman pulled Chu Chen again and went to see her parents.

Lu Manman's father, that is, Lu Xiuyuan, the third son in the family. and his wife Yu Xiuhua are both middle school teachers.

"Hello uncle and aunt. Chu Chen came to the front of his future father-in-law and mother-in-law, showing great respect.

"You're young, young man, and hopefully you'll be able to work hard. Although this world is not fair, people cannot choose their origins. But I believe that as long as you are willing to work hard, you will not be much worse than others in the future. ”

Lu Xiuyuan kindly encouraged Chu Chen. I am afraid that the old man will be frustrated by comparing him with the deputy mayor's son just now.

"We as parents will not interfere in the affairs of you and Manman. If you truly love each other, we will bless you. Don't give up because of outside influences. But there is one thing, if you dare to treat my daughter badly, I can't spare it!"

"Okay, Xiuyuan. We just met, what are you doing so far?" Lu Manman's mother, Yu Xiuhua, a kind middle-aged woman, said with a smile, "Manman, you go and arrange a guest room for him to rest." Did you just come to Jinling today? I must be tired. ”

"Okay!" Lu Manman agreed.

led Chu Chen and walked to the backyard.

"Your parents are fine. Your father is much better than your uncle and uncle. Chu Chen envied Lu Manman for having such a happy family.

Lu Manman smiled bitterly and sighed: "What's the use of just being good." Now no one in the world likes good people, and good people are about to become derogatory. You can also see that in this family, it is still my uncle and uncle who are favored. We are a family of three, and we don't have any status. ”

The bitterness in Lu Manman's heart, Chu Chen naturally understood it. The grievances faced by their family were also clearly seen by Chu Chen just now.

"Don't worry, with me in the future, I will never let your father be humiliated in front of my brother again. In the future, the Lu family will be your father's final say. Chu Chen assured.

Lu Manman took Chu Chen to a clean guest room to rest. Then he turned around and walked back.

When she saw her mother, Yu Xiuhua, she was still waiting in place.

"Mom, haven't you gone back yet?" Lu Manman saw her mother and quickened her pace.

"Happy birthday, Manman. Yu Xiuhua smiled and hugged her daughter, "When you celebrate your grandfather's birthday, we'll go home for you." Would it be good to bring your little boyfriend with you this time. ”

As a mother, she feels sorry for her daughter, and naturally understands her daughter's grievances. I have to stay here every year and spend my grandfather's life, but how many people remember that that day was also the birthday of this little granddaughter?

In addition, Lu Manman's father, Lu Xiuyuan, is not valued in this family. No one takes the daughter of the third family seriously.

"Thank you, Mom......" Lu Manman was used to it and felt that it didn't matter. "I'm twenty years old, grown up, but it's the same for birthdays. ”

The more sensible the daughter is, the more distressed the mother is.

The mother and daughter held hands and went back to their respective rooms to rest.

After separating from his mother, the smile on Lu Manman's face gradually faded, and his heart was clouded with a layer of gloom.

Two days later, it was Grandpa's birthday and his own birthday.

In fact, accompanying his grandfather and his old man for his birthday, Lu Manman didn't think it was anything. It's just—

Lu Manman's heart, how eager is that everyone can say "happy birthday" to themselves while celebrating the birthday of the elderly?

It's a pity that over the years, everyone has gone from the initial "Oh Manman, today is also your birthday" to now no one mentions it.

Everyone's blessings are dedicated to the old birthday star in the family.

And Lu Manman has never had a day on his birthday, which can be regarded as some regrets and a knot in his heart in the past 20 years.

With this regret, Lu Manman is about to usher in his twentieth birthday.

Nothing was said all night.

Early the next morning, Wei Shengjin of the Wei family visited again and wanted to ask Lu Manman to go out......
