After listening to Qu Fan's words, Bai Lexue nodded slowly and replied to him, "Okay, then I'll go and tell my father, Xiao Fan, you know a lot of guests who came tonight, so please help us greet us." ”

"Yes, you go, Xiaoxue. Qu Fan replied with a smile, and then, Qu Fan came to a corner of the venue, picked up a glass of wine, casually looked at the guests present tonight, and drank it alone.

Although Qu Fan did not take the initiative to talk and negotiate with others, many people stopped what they were doing after seeing Qu Fan, and walked over to Qu Fan with the person who was talking, greeting and greeting Qu Fan.

Bai Lexue came to a lounge upstairs, where the prince and the young grandmother were changing clothes, tidying up their appearance, and then went downstairs to greet the guests. Seeing Bai Lexue coming up, the young grandmother asked, "Xiaoxue, what's wrong, is there something wrong?"

Bai Lexue smiled and said, "There is something I want to tell my father." ”

"Xiaoxue, what's the matter, let's talk about it. The prince turned from the mirror and asked her.

"Dad, auntie, she'll be there a little later. Bai Lexue told him.

The crown prince frowned, "Did Qu Fan tell you?" Bai Lexue nodded and didn't say anything more.

The young grandmother opened her mouth and said, "Xiaofan said that Qingqing would come later, it must have been Qingqing who said it, since Qingqing said it, then he will definitely come, and it will be later later." Xiaoxue, you go down first, and the two of us will go down with the old lady in a while. ”

"Well, then I'll go down first. Bai Lexue replied and walked down. After coming to the venue downstairs, he found out where Qu Fan was? Seeing Qu Fan laughing and talking with a few people in an inconspicuous corner, he also walked over.

When the others saw Miss Sun of the Bai family coming to find Qu Fan, they all took the initiative to make way for her, "Miss Xiaoxue, let's go over first." ”

Bai Lexue nodded and smiled with them, and then came to Qu Fan's opposite. "Have you told the crown prince?" Qu Fan asked her.

"Well, as I said, he said that it would be later later, it didn't matter, the most important thing was that people could come over. Bai Lexue replied to him, and then, she said to Qu Fan, "Xiao Fan, you go to the door with me, my parents and they will come down after a while, and I will come to greet these people alone, and I am a little too busy." ”

Qu Fan replied with a smile, "Okay, let's go over." Two men came to the door and greeted the guests who came one after another. The people who came tonight saw Qu Fan and Bai Lexue standing together, and guessed that this Qu Fan and Bai Lexue might be a good thing coming. Whether they knew each other or not, they all came over to say a few words to Qu Fan and exchange business cards with each other to facilitate future cooperation.

Ten minutes later, the prince and the young grandmother followed Mrs. Bai to the venue, Mrs. Bai was still the same as before, her body and skin had not changed, and she was wearing a golden silk green cheongsam, which made Madame Bai more energetic than before.

When the young grandmother saw that there were Xiaoxue and Xiaofan at the door, she said to Mrs. Bai and the prince, "Let's greet the guests in the venue, there are Xiaofan and Xiaoxue at the door, so we don't have to worry about it." ”

After Madame Bai glanced there, she nodded, and the prince didn't want to say anything more, so she echoed his mother and said, "Okay." ”

The three of them greeted each other with their relatives and friends in the venue, and after a long time, Mrs. Bai didn't see the shadow of her daughter Bai Qingqing, so she asked Bai Xianhong and said, "Didn't Qingqing come?"

"Mom, Qingqing said she would come later. The prince replied to her.

Madame Bai nodded, still smiling, and exchanged a few words of greeting with the other guests. At this time, several relatives of the Bai family came over and preached to Mrs. Bai together, "I wish the old birthday star a blessing like the East China Sea, the sun and the moon are bright, healthy and prosperous, and a long life!"

"Thank you, I am very happy to have come to my birthday banquet, and I would like to invite all the brothers and nephews to Haihan. Madame Bai replied to a few of them.

"Sister-in-law, you're polite. A person replied to her, and then someone asked, "Why haven't you seen Qingqing all this time?"

"Uncles, Qingqing, she will come later, please sit down first, and we will have a table in a while. Qiu Wenhuan said to them, and after speaking, he went to another place and greeted them.

Seeing that the banquet was about to start, Mrs. Bai saw that Bai Qingqing had not yet arrived at the venue, and asked Bai Xianhong, "What's the matter with Qingqing, she hasn't come yet, is something wrong?"

The prince replied with a smile, "Mom, wait a minute, I'll call her and ask about the situation." ”

"Well, there you go. Madame Bai said, and walked towards Bai Lexue and Qu Fan with Qiu Wenhuan.

"Madame Bai, young grandmother. After Qu Fan saw the two of them, he greeted.

"Qingqing, when is she coming, the banquet is about to start, why haven't you seen her yet?" asked Madame Bai Qu Fan.

Qu Fan replied to her and said, "Madam Bai, my sister said that she would come tonight, but it would be a little later, as for when it will be late, I don't know, but she has already sent you a birthday gift in advance." Qu Fan gave a person a look and brought over another birthday gift he had prepared.

"This crane carving is really amazing, especially this pair of eyes, just like the real thing. After Bai Lexue saw the birthday gift, she said with a smile.

"This eye is inlaid with a black night pearl, the pine tree next to the crane, is a natural crystal jade dotted on the ebony, the crane and the pine tree are symbols of longevity, I wish the white lady pine crane long life, happiness and longevity. Qu Fan said to Madame Bai.

Mrs. Bai nodded slightly, didn't say anything, Grandma Bai thanked Qu Fan and said, "Xiaofan, you and Qingqing have a heart." ”

After the prince called, he walked over to a few of them with a smile all the way, and after walking to Qu Fan and Mrs. Bai, Bai Xianhong's face suddenly changed, and he said to Mrs. Bai, "Mom, Qingqing's phone can't get through." ”

"What's the matter?" asked Madame White.

The crown prince looked at Qu Fan and asked, "Qu Fan, you say, what's going on?"

Qu Fan looked at a few of them and said, "I don't know, but with Lao K by my sister's side, nothing will happen to her." ”

"Dad, my aunt said that she would come later, maybe she was already on the way, my aunt's birthday gift has been sent just now, it should be coming soon, let's go to the main house and sit down first, the banquet will start soon, don't let everyone wait too long." Bai Lexue reminded the prince loudly.

"yes, let's go first. The young grandmother also said to the two of them.

"Okay, go over first, Xinhong, and ask someone to put the gift sent by Qingqing in the most conspicuous place in the gift area, indicating that it was sent by Qingqing. Madame Bai commanded, and then went with a few of them to sit down at the master's seat.

After Qu Fan sent a few of them to the main house, he turned around and was about to sit elsewhere, Xiao Xue grabbed him and asked, "Xiao Fan, where are you going?"

"Xiaoxue, my godfather and godmother have reserved a seat for me, let me go and sit with them for a while, and they also want to talk to me. Qu Fan replied to her with a smile.

"But ......"

"Go, Xiaofan, help us take care of Chairman Lin and Mrs. Lin. Grandma Bai Shao interrupted Bai Lexue's words and said to Qu Fan.

"Yes, I will, please rest assured that Grandma Bai Shao. After Qu Fan finished speaking, he walked towards the table where the Lin family was.

After Mrs. Bai, the crown prince and the young grandmother addressed everyone, the birthday banquet officially began. There are as many as 18 dishes and hot dishes prepared tonight, and there are 28 hot dishes, and each dish is small and fine. It seems that each dish is almost only one or two bites per person, but this bite of the dish is eaten by countless production processes and unimaginable prices.

Qu Fan shook his head, and when Mrs. Lin saw him like this, she asked him and said, "Xiao Fan, what's wrong, is the taste of the dish not in accordance with the taste?"

"No, godmother, I shook my head because the prince's operation this time was too luxurious, which made me a little worried. Qu Fan told Mrs. Lin what he said.

Mrs. Lin also nodded, picked up a piece of bamboo shoots, and echoed Qu Fan and said, "Yes, but this dish of chicken pith bamboo shoots, it will take half a day to make, not to mention so many dishes, I am afraid that it will take a hundred chefs to prepare them together, so many portions can be prepared in one day, it is indeed too luxurious." ”

Qu Fan continued to eat a mouthful of food, and after taking a sip of wine, he said to his godfather and godmother, "Godfather, godmother, I'll leave for a while." ”

"Go ahead, Xiaofan. Chairman Lin replied to him.

Qu Fan came to the bathroom, took out the ring from his pocket, and contacted Lao K, intending to ask where Lao K and his sister Bai Qingqing were, and now they were serving hot dishes, why hadn't they come over yet.

However, the mobile phone rang several times, but no one answered, and Qu Fan couldn't help but worry. After hanging up the phone, Qu Fan called two more, but the result was still the same, no one answered.

Qu Fan suddenly had a bad premonition, "It's bad, what I was worried about may have happened, my sister and she, I'm afraid she won't come." ”

A few minutes later, Qu Fan walked out of the bathroom, stood down in front of the mirror, washed his hands, came out, and returned to his seat. After sitting down, he saw Bai Lexue not far away looking at him with a frown.

Qu Fan didn't respond to Bai Lexue, and after sitting down, he continued to touch the wine glass with his godfather and godmother and eat vegetables. Seeing that Qu Fan did not respond to her, Bai Lexue sat in the seat for a while, then walked over to Qu Fan's position, patted Qu Fan on the shoulder, and said to him, "Xiao Fan, you and I come over for a while." ”

After Qu Fan wiped his mouth, he stood up, followed Bai Lexue, and walked to a quieter place.
