Li Xing's birthday banquet was held in the most luxurious hotel in Haicheng, and Li Xing was arrogant and directly chartered the entire hotel.

However, the birthday party only started in the evening, and I arrived in Haicheng early in the morning and went straight to Li's house.

When they saw me, Wan Fei and Li Xing's attitudes were very different from before, and the expensive emerald necklace really contributed a lot.

Just in time for lunch, Li Xing insisted on letting me stay for lunch together, and I happened to have another purpose, so I didn't refuse.

At the dinner table, Wan Fei diligently sandwiched the dishes for me, and said with a smile on her face: "Shishi, the necklace you gave to your aunt, my aunt likes it very much, and she wears it every time she attends a major occasion, and many sisters ask her aunt where she bought this necklace from, and her aunt proudly told them that she couldn't buy it, and you gave it to your aunt." ”

Listening to Wan Fei's three sentences and not leaving the necklace, I smiled obediently, "It's good that my aunt likes it, I used to be ignorant, and I often made my uncle and aunt angry, and I will pay attention to proportions in the future." ”

Wan Fei snorted, "What are you talking about?" We are a family, and your uncle and I treat you as if you were our own children. ”

"Today's lunch, I specially asked the maid to make it, all of which you like to eat, you can eat more." Wan Fei kept putting vegetables in my bowl, and soon my bowl was piled up into a small mountain.

But I know very well that Wan Fei's enthusiasm and diligence definitely have another purpose.

Sure enough, then, Wan Fei said tentatively: "Many friends around your uncle have heard that you are in the jewelry business, and they are very envious of your uncle, at this night's birthday banquet, you must not embarrass your uncle!" ”

As soon as these words came out, I immediately understood what Wan Fei meant.

She was nothing more than a hint that I should not forget to give Li Xing a birthday gift at the birthday party in the evening.

I smiled and didn't immediately take out the present I had prepared.

"Aunt rest assured, on such a grand day as my uncle's 60th birthday, I naturally won't be ambiguous."

"That's good, that's good." Wan Fei glanced at Li Xing with satisfaction.

Li Xing deliberately politely said, "Harm, it's all a family, what kind of birthday gift is not a birthday gift, if you are willing to come, my uncle will be very happy." ”

I never saw Li Ze, so I asked suspiciously: "I heard that my cousin is also back, why didn't I see him?" ”

"He hasn't returned to China for a long time, and many friends in China have asked him to go out to eat and drink together, and we can't even see his shadow all day long, so I guess he will come back in the evening."

I nodded thoughtfully.

And at this moment, the servant shouted, "The young master is back!" Do you need me to add a pair of chopsticks to you? ”

I looked back when I heard the sound, and saw Li Ze walking in with a smile on the corner of his mouth, obviously he was still having a good time in China these days.

Seeing me, a flash of surprise flashed in Li Ze's eyes.

I immediately stood up and greeted Li Ze obediently: "Cousin." ”

Li Ze smiled: "I am really a little unaccustomed to hearing you suddenly call me cousin." ”

Li Xing and Wan Fei also looked at us suspiciously, mistakenly thinking that the two of us had not seen each other.

Li Xing took the initiative to introduce: "Shishi, your cousin Li Ze is also in the jewelry industry abroad, you can have a chat together, you are all people in the same industry, there should be a lot of topics." ”

Li Ze and I looked at each other and smiled, and neither of us mentioned anything we knew abroad.

At this time, the maid came over with dishes and chopsticks, and Li Ze had already eaten outside, but he still sat at the table.

The greetings and polite words had already been said, and while Li Ze was there, I simply put down my chopsticks and tentatively mentioned: "Uncle, it just so happened that I came to Haicheng this time, and I thought that after my uncle's birthday banquet, my mother's spiritual position could return to the ancestral hall of the Li family." ”

Li Xing's hand holding the chopsticks paused visibly and did not answer.

Li Ze didn't know why, but he felt that what I said made sense, and couldn't help but echo: "Isn't my aunt already divorced from that surnamed Su?" Then her spirit card should be placed in the Li family ancestral hall. ”

As soon as Li Ze's words fell, he was glared at by Wan Fei.

Obviously, although Li Xing verbally agreed before, he did not really plan to let Li Xue return to the Li family ancestral hall.

I continued unrelentingly: "Uncle, you promised me before. And my mother had a good relationship with my grandmother before her death, and I hope that she can continue to be by my grandmother's side. I just have such a small wish, uncle, you won't refuse me, right? ”

I have already put Li Xing here, and Li Ze is also watching from the side, I just forced Li Xing to agree.

Li Xing's expression froze for a moment, and he quickly changed the topic: "Shishi, it's rare for you to come back, just stay at home for a few more days these days, and as for the matter of your mother's spirit card, let's wait until after my sixtieth birthday banquet." ”

I frowned, apparently Li Xing was deliberately dragging me.

When it drags on until his birthday party is over, he'll find other excuses.

Seeing the displeasure on my face, Wan Fei played a round on the side: "Shishi, don't blame your uncle, we have rules here, the affairs of the dead and the affairs of the living cannot be done together." When your uncle's birthday feast is over, your mother's spiritual seat will be properly placed. ”

I've already said that, and I didn't insist on it anymore. Anyway, whether Li Xue's spiritual position can return to the Li family is not my ultimate goal.

After lunch, Li Ze and I walked in the garden and talked about the stalemate at the dinner table, and Li Ze couldn't help but ask about his suspicions.

"Although I haven't returned to China for a few years, from just now, it seems that your relationship with my parents is not very good."

Li Ze's words were tentative, but I didn't have the slightest fluster, just smiled lightly, and said disapprerovingly: "After all, I have only recognized my ancestors and returned to my ancestors for a long time, and I haven't been with my uncle and aunt for a long time. Before, because of his young age, he said a lot of disrespectful things in his temper, and this time he took the opportunity to apologize to his uncle for his sins. ”

Li Ze didn't have any doubts about my explanation, but was more curious about the birthday gift I had prepared.

"I heard that not long ago, you held a jewelry exhibition in China, showing a delicate tanzanite ring, such a precious treasure can be found by you, tonight's birthday gift should not make everyone's eyes shine again, right?"

Li Ze is really obsessed with jewelry, and what he is looking forward to most about this birthday banquet is the gift I gave him.

I deliberately sold it, "Cousin, you are the manager of the jewelry auction house in the United States, you haven't seen any treasures, even if other people's eyes shine, it won't surprise you, right?" ”

"There are countless treasures in this world, but you can bring shocking surprises every time."

I hooked my lips and smiled, surprised? I've got more than just a surprise tonight.
