Chapter 847: Chapter 572: Birthday Celebration
“Young master, I’ve found it.” Ye Fei brought over the information: “He Xiuze has a connection with Lan Shuixian. It seems that he let Lan Shuixian take sothing to soone. Young master, I find this Lan Shuixian very suspicious.” Recently, a few events have occurred, all related to this Lan Shuixian.
So, who exactly is this Lan Shuixian?
“This Lan Shuixian is a smart and cunning woman. She’s playing a ga with us, a ga of cat and mouse.” Gu Yecheng’s lips curled up slightly.
“Is there soone backing her up?”
“It’s not that simple.”
“But according to our data, the reason she could open this club is entirely because of the head of the n Family. If her backing is the head of the n Family, we don’t have much to worry about.” The Xu Family is currently struggling; they might not be able to support her.
“It’s not the Xu Family; it should be soone else, soone we wouldn’t expect.” Gu Yecheng slightly raised his sword-like eyebrows: “The day after tomorrow is Mr. Wang’s seventy-first birthday after all.”
“Yes, it should be quite lively.” Mr. Wang’s seventy-first birthday is a lively occasion.
“Prepare well; I want to attend.”
…
“Mr. Wang?” Xiaofeng looked at Gu Yecheng: “He’s celebrating the day after tomorrow, so what should we give?”
“Just do what you think is best.” Gu Yecheng didn’t pay much attention to the matter: “For Mr. Wang’s birthday this ti, almost everyone with a reputation in the Imperial Capital will be there.”
“Alright, I understand. Last ti I accidentally obtained a 300-year-old ginseng, how about giving that?” Anything else we give might seem cheap. A 300-year-old ginseng is not common on the market.
Early the next morning, Xiaofeng took out a 300-year-old ginseng from her space, put it in a very beautiful box, and it instantly beca high-end and classy.
Fifty-year or hundred-year ginsengs are very common among these families, but not so much with ginsengs over three hundred years old.
This item is not sothing you can buy just because you have money.
Actually, she could totally give a 500-year or 800-year ginseng. She has the space at hand, it’s not like she couldn’t take it out.
It’s just that she doesn’t have a good relationship with Mr. Wang’s granddaughter, Wang Jieyu.
“Mom.” Gu Shujun had grown quite a bit lately, no longer chubby, with a handso face and a pair of jet-black eyes, very beautiful.
She was wearing cute little overalls, followed by a white fluffy thing, which was her pet Baibaibai.
Baibaibai had been raised in the Gu Family for a while, becoming a chubby white ball, very adorable.
Xiaofeng picked up Baibaibai in her arms, looking at her daughter: “Did you cause trouble again during class yesterday?”
This daughter looked serious but was actually the most mischievous. Dabao was still fine, steady in his actions, unlike her, completely unable to sit still.
“No, when the teacher ca yesterday, I was very good and listened carefully in class.” Of course, Gu Shujun couldn’t admit that she didn’t seriously attend class: “Mom, I attend class most earnestly, if you don’t believe , ask Baibaibai.”
“What, you brought Baibaibai to class. The teacher said her book was missing yesterday, did you hide it?” Xiaofeng lifted Baibaibai’s ears and glared fiercely at Baibaibai.
Baibaibai blinked its innocent big eyes, it wasn’t , it wasn’t .
Gu Shujun blinked her sparkling big eyes: “Mom, Xiaobai is just too naughty, maybe it was too hungry yesterday, so it chewed the teacher’s book as a snack.”
Baibaibai: “….”
Clearly, it was the little master who made it do it yesterday. Indeed, beautiful won love to lie, humph.
Xiaofeng put her hands on her waist, glaring at Gu Shujun with an aggressive look: “Gu Shujun, I’m giving you a chance, organize your words again.”
Gu Shujun bit her lip, sneaking a glance at her mom: “Mom, I don’t like mathematics, okay? I didn’t want to attend math class, so I let Baibaibai cause a little trouble. Mom, I promise I won’t do it again next ti, mom, can I not attend math class in the future?”
Xiaofeng had a headache, it seems Gu Shujun is like her aunt Quan Xiaonian, and will be soone who doesn’t love learning in the future, with a stern face: “No, you must study every day.”
“Alright, mom, Baibaibai and I are going out.” Gu Shujun felt that the more she grew up, the more troubles there were. It was better when she was little, just eating and sleeping were enough.
Unlike now, being forced by her mom to take all kinds of courses.
Gu Shuhan, that bookworm, was fine, but poor her, who was adored by everyone, had to be tornted.
Gu Shujun hugged Baibaibai and went out.
Looking at her daughter who showed such a deep resentnt towards learning, Xiaofeng thought of Quan Xiaonian.
She shook her head. It seems like their boy and girl twins share a feature, the boy loves learning a lot, and the girl doesn’t like learning at all, could this be called a characteristic?
Xiaoyan was the top of the top students, while Xiaonian was at the bottom of the class.
If it weren’t for the family having so connections, she wouldn’t even be able to go to high school.
Thinking of this, Xiaofeng laughed. It seems she was an exception, not disliking learning that much like her daughter.
…
For Mr. Wang’s seventieth birthday feast, naturally, all the prominent families in the Imperial Capital would co to celebrate.
This generation of Mr. Wang has made great contributions for the country, and in old age, it’s natural to enjoy the respect and love from descendants.
Today, Wang Jieyu was dressed very elegantly and quietly, greeting guests beside her mom.
As the granddaughter of the Wang Family, her every word and action represented the Wang Family, and naturally had to be very proper.
“Girls change dramatically as they grow up, she’s a stunning beauty now, and in a few more years, this won’t do!”
Wang Jieyu stood by her mom, accepting all kinds of praises.
According to her mom, don’t take these people’s praises too seriously; they are all in consideration of her grandfather, so sincerely and so deliberately flattered her.
She had heard such complints from a young age, and she completely didn’t care if the other was sincere or not.
Xiaofeng and Gu Yecheng ca in hand in hand.
Gu Yecheng was wearing a suitable suit today, handso and graceful, attracting countless girls’ eyes as soon as he entered.
Young master Gu is more masculine than before, really handso.
As their eyes moved to the side and they saw who was next to him, they pursed their lips.
What is the young master of the Gu family doing marrying so early at such a young age? And he not only married early, but he also found soone who grew up in the countryside as a wife.
Although her looks…aren’t bad, how co her skin is so good and her hair looks so smooth; her lips have a very nice color, I wonder which brand of lipstick it is.
Her hands are very fair as well, and her waist, it looks so slender and manageable.
In comparison, all the girls present felt they dimd quite a lot.
Their skin wasn’t as good as hers, their hair wasn’t as natural as hers, their temperant wasn’t as good as hers, and most importantly, they couldn’t marry as well.
She married the young master of the Gu Family, a famously talented youth of the Imperial Capital.
Thinking of this, the girls looked at Su Xiaofeng with eyes filled with knives, and if their eyes could cut, Xiaofeng would have been mutilated by them.
Wang Jieyu looked at the woman before her with a faint smile, wishing she could tear her mouth apart. This Su Xiaofeng just knows how to act; she pretends to be a decent noble lady, though she’s not a good woman.
Xiaofeng is the young lady of the Quan Family, and in truth, her status is higher than many present here, but they only focus on the fact that she grew up in the countryside and don’t want to admit it.
“Mr. Wang, wishing you good fortune as vast as the Eastern Sea and a life as high as the Southern Mountain.” Gu Yecheng and Xiaofeng approached Mr. Wang and expressed their birthday wishes.
“Acheng is here.” Today, Mr. Wang was dressed in dark red Tang costu, looking spirited: “Co, sit here.”
“Where’s your family’s elder? Why hasn’t he arrived yet?”
“Grandfather said he would co over with several others to make it more lively.”
“They should be here soon.”
“Haha, of course, we should arrive.” Before Elder Gu arrived, his voice did: “For us old fellows, it’s not easy to make our way over here. Since it’s your big birthday, others might not co, but we certainly have to.”
Elder Gu, Elder Bai, Elder Zhao, and Elder Tang, as well as a few other elders, all ca over together.
Seeing his old friends arrive, Mr. Wang stood up: “I was afraid you’d forget . Co, I’ve reserved a table just for you. Today, we won’t leave until we’re drunk.”
“Knowing you’re fond of it, I brought you so good wine.” Elder Gu laughed heartily: “For us few old guys, we lose a year every year we gather, so we have to drink and not leave until we’re drunk.”
Having reached seventy, every extra year lived is a gain.
The group, like a bunch of old kids, playfully and jokingly walked to their private room.
Xiaofeng watched with envy: “Having so many friends in old age is also a form of happiness, isn’t it?”
Gu Yecheng held his wife’s hand without speaking, just watching their departing backs and slightly raised his eyebrows.
