Chapter 338: When the Birthday Banquet Begins (2)

“Little Miss, we didn’t go wrong,” Skinny looked at his Little Miss’s expression and replied with an unkind smile.

“Why did Grandpa invite so many people?” Chen Meng’er was truly speechless. It was only her birthday banquet, was there a need to invite so many people?

“Eh, about that, Little Miss, look for yourself. I think you should know some people.” Skinny listened to his Little Miss’s words, and no matter how he listened, he became awkward.

Just as Skinny finished speaking, Chen Meng’er heard a very familiar voice coming from the front left of her. “Haha, Meng’er, what are you standing there for? Quickly come to Grandpa Yuwen’s place.”

Chen Meng’er heard the voice and raised her head to look in the direction of the voice. The people over there were really people she knew. These were the few old men she had seen in the capital’s courtyard. When Chen Meng’er saw the people who came, she was quite surprised. She could still understand why Marquis Yuwen had come to attend her birthday banquet. She had saved Marquis Yuwen’s grandson, Yuwen Jing.

However, they had only met the other old men a few times and did not have a deep friendship. Moreover, even if they had a good relationship with her grandfather, Elder Liu, these elders of the country would not come to attend her birthday banquet just for this.

No matter how surprised Chen Meng’er was. However, Chen Meng’er maintained a decent smile on her face. She was just about to walk over to Marquis Yuwen’s side when Marquis Yuwen spoke up. As the Little Miss, she had to go and greet these guests. Otherwise, it would be too rude.

However, before Chen Meng’er could raise her feet, her grandfather’s voice was heard. “Marquis Yuwen, you’re really something. You immediately came to snatch my granddaughter away from me.”

The people in the banquet hall were all shrewd. When they were conversing with people, they were constantly paying attention to the surrounding movements. As a result, every action of Elder Liu and his master was within their scope of attention. At this moment, as they watched Elder Liu walk towards the door, everyone’s gazes followed him and moved in that direction.

“Liu Bolin, don’t be too stingy. You always monopolize Meng’er. I’ve invited her several times to come to the capital. which time didn’t you push her away?” Speaking of this, Marquis Yuwen was full of anger.

“That’s right. Bolin, ah, this is your fault. We miss the little girl very much. You’re the one who’s good. You let the little girl come to the capital for the New Year, but you acted as if you didn’t hear it.” Elder Xu stood out, he spoke on behalf of Marquis Yuwen.

“Hmph, I’m not that stupid. I clearly know that you want to snatch my granddaughter from me, yet I still sent my granddaughter to your side.” Elder Liu said, he turned his head and asked Zhuge Yu and the others, “Zhuge, I remember that I didn’t ask you to send them an invitation. Why are these old fellows here?”

Zhuge Yu and the others were very helpless towards their master’s increasingly childish temper. weren’t their master’s words adding fuel to the fire. When Marquis Yuwen and the other old men heard their teacher’s words, their eyes were almost burning with anger. They all stared at them and stared at their answers. “Sir.” Zhuge Yu and the others didn’t know how to answer for a moment. If they answered according to their teacher’s words, they would offend Marquis Yuwen and the other old men. If they answered according to their teacher’s words… it would be hard to explain to their sir,

and the most important problem was that this wasn’t their Green Gang, nor was it a private gathering of the old men. This was their Little Miss’s birthday banquet, and so many people were watching. Whatever they answered, it was all wrong.

Chen Meng’er looked at these uncles, who were being put in a difficult position by her grandfather and the old men. She felt her heart ache. “Oh, grandfathers, I am very honored that all of you are able to attend my birthday banquet.”

“Haha, the little girl is still the best.” After hearing Chen Meng’er’s words, the old men who were originally contending with Elder Liu immediately laughed. The wrinkles on their faces also relaxed.

As for Elder Liu, when he heard his precious granddaughter’s words, his face immediately turned black. “Hmph.”

“Grandpa, today is Meng’er’s birthday.” Chen Meng’er looked at Elder Liu, who had a black face like a child, expressing his dissatisfaction. She walked over helplessly and comforted him in a soft voice. “Grandfather, why are you arguing with Grandpa Yuwen and the others? They are guests today.”

Chen Meng’er’s words were equivalent to dozens of words from Zhuge Yu and the others. As a result, when Chen Meng’er coaxed them, Elder Liu’s face immediately turned from gloomy to sunny.

Everyone in the banquet hall saw Elder Liu’s motive. These people were all very curious about Elder Liu’s granddaughter. It had been so many years. They had investigated many times, but this little girl was very well protected by Elder Liu. They had seen the other party’s appearance once.

Everyone looked at the little girl at the door. That girl who could coax the high and powerful elders to smile with just one sentence, they all thought, “So this is the granddaughter that Elder Liu has been hiding for so many years.”

Zheng Yannan, who had always been an obedient child, stood beside her parents. When her parents’ eyes shifted to the door of the banquet hall, she followed them out of curiosity. When she saw the appearance of the person at the door, she frowned and whispered, “Why is she here?”

“Nan Nan, what are you talking about?” Huang Yujuan asked.

“No, nothing.” Zheng Yannan revealed an obedient smile.

Just as Zheng Yannan finished answering her mother, her father suddenly lowered his head, he said to her, “Nan Nan, do you see that little girl? She should be Elder Liu’s granddaughter, the main character of tonight’s birthday party. This little girl looks only a few years younger than you. Later, try to get close to her. Talk to her. Try your best to build a good relationship with her.”

“Wh-what? Dad, are you saying that she is the main character of today’s birthday party?” After Zheng Yannan heard her father say that Chen Meng’er was the main character of this birthday party, this sentence was the only thing in her mind.

“Nan Nan, what’s wrong?” Huang Yujuan asked worriedly when she saw her daughter’s big reaction. Zheng Yuan frowned unhappily.

“No, nothing.” Zheng Yannan’s mood was not calm at the moment. She stared at the person at the door who was smiling like a flower. The jealousy in her heart rose all of a sudden.

“Nan Nan, you have to be clear about this little girl’s identity. It will be good for our Zheng family if you have a good relationship with her. The general election will be held soon. If I have the support of Elder Liu of the Green Gang, then my chances of getting promoted to a full-time job are almost certain. So… Nan Nan, you should understand what I mean, right?” Zheng Yuan said with a straight face, he looked at his daughter and said.

“I understand,” Cheng Yannan replied meekly.

Zheng Yannan was favored by the Zheng family, but this was also on the standpoint that it did not involve any interests of the Zheng family. Once the interests of the Zheng family came up, everyone had to stand aside.
