Chapter 369
Putting the cart before the horse (3 updates)
Although Jing Yu is not here now, Wen Xiaodao still wants to say that there is no one else like his son who can do this. His own mother even wants to marry him off. How miserable!
"I just bought a pink diamond at an auction during the Chinese New Year. I will give it to you on your twentieth birthday. Do you want it to be made into a necklace or a ring?"
When Wen Xiaodao heard about the pink diamond, he remembered that he had heard his father talk about it before, and he was a little aggrieved that he didn't take a picture. Could it be that one?
After learning the truth, Wen Xiaodao immediately decided to remain silent.
Wen Xiaodao's family is warm and cozy, but the scene at Ouyang Yu's side is a bit cold.
Yan Chunni looked at Ouyang Yu's depressed look, walked over, and said very considerately: "My child is still young, so I don't know that your situation was not good at the beginning. I just need to explain it clearly when the time comes."
Ouyang Yu showed an ugly smile, and then smiled: "I made you worry."
At this moment, everyone who was supposed to come had almost arrived. After Minister Yang arrived, he saw that Ouyang Yu didn't look very good. After asking his assistant Chu Huai, he knew that Wen Xiaodao was the cause again.
Instinctively, he felt displeased with Wen Xiaodao, but he also knew that Wen Xiaodao was Ouyang Yu's granddaughter. Even if it was Ouyang Yu's family affair, it was convenient for him to intervene.
"It's almost time. The banquet is about to begin. Go talk to Wen Xiaodao and ask her to stop. No matter what kind of conflicts there are within their family, they can't cause trouble for me today, otherwise I will go to Li Si personally.
The army is here."
Chu Huai nodded, quickly went to find Wen Xiaodao, conveyed what Minister Yang said, and then left in a hurry. He was also very busy.
Bai Li held Wen Xiaodao's hand with some distress: "Good boy, don't worry about these things."
Although she said this, Bai Li already hated Ouyang Yu to death. Their baby was warned like this. It was obvious that Xiao Dao should be the legitimate host of this banquet.
"Don't worry, auntie, I'm fine."
Then he looked at Qin Qiong aside: "Ask Xu Da when he will arrive."
"Okay boss."
The banquet was very lively, but the people here invisibly isolated Wen Xiaodao and the others.
Not many people came to say hello to them, but Ouyang Yu, who kept talking about wanting to make amends, didn't notice at all.
This made Jing Qimin feel even more pitiful for his little niece. Having a confused elder was worse than anything else.
He knew this very well. After all, his terrible step-grandma and uncle had troubled their family for half their lives.
Especially every time grandpa acts like he is fair and just and doesn't want to be wronged by anyone, but he makes the people in their room suffer all kinds of wrongs.
If it weren't for his father's fighting spirit and his two sons' fighting spirit, I'm afraid he would never be able to get out of this bad mood.
"Boss, Director Xu and Minister Xu are already outside the venue and will be there soon."
Wen Xiaodao's eyes flashed with amusement, and the show was about to begin.
Not far away, Minister Yang was talking to someone. When he heard Chu Huai come over and say that brothers Xu Fa and Xu Da were here, he was stunned. If he remembered correctly, they should not have been invited to this banquet.
yes,
It's not that they don't want to invite, but the banquet level is not qualified enough to invite these two people.
Although a lot of people from aristocratic families came to the banquet, these people were all from the side branches of Kyoto's cultural circles, or from declining aristocratic families with little real power.
The two brothers Xu Fa and Xu Da are the direct descendants of the Xu family in North China, and they have real power. Although they may interact with each other at work, they are not close to each other personally.
But even if there were ten thousand question marks in his mind, when someone came, he wouldn't dare to just drive them away. He would have to go and pick them up in person.
Although brothers Xu Fa and Xu Da are twin brothers, and their appearance is 80% similar, anyone who has seen them will never admit their mistake. The characteristics of these two people are too obvious.
One is fat, the other is black and strong.
"Minister Xu, you've missed your welcome from afar."
"You're welcome, Minister Yang. You came here uninvited today. I hope Minister Yang will respect you."
Xu Da looked around boredly. He was not well-known in Kyoto. Of course, he didn't want to make a name for himself.
He dragged his eldest brother to be the frontman today. With his eldest brother here, these sour scholars would not dare to be so presumptuous.
Finally, I saw Wen Xiaodao standing in a place that was a bit like a vacuum zone. The people around her tacitly avoided her.
Xu Da suddenly felt a little sad for Wen Xiaodao. His family's sponsor used to be such a high-spirited person, but now he looks so lonely. It's so pitiful.
"Brother, I'm going to look for the knife. You two can chat slowly."
As a doting brother, Xu Fa will of course rely on his younger brother in everything. Besides, he also likes Wen Xiaodao, so he can ignore other things.
But if someone wants to suppress this child in front of him as an all-powerful elder, it depends on whether he agrees or not.
Minister Yang watched Xu Da, who had a similar face to Xu Fa, heading towards Wen Xiaodao. His eyelids couldn't help but twitch, and then he asked in an erratic tone: "Minister Xu, is this your twin brother?
, he has an old relationship with Miss Wen?"
We are all old foxes with thousands of years of experience. Naturally, there are some words that don’t need to be said so clearly:
"Oh, that kid Xiaodao used to be my brother's student. This kid is kind-hearted and often donates money. My incompetent brother established an association some time ago.
No, this kid immediately supported him and took the position of vice president. He led by example and attracted a lot of investment to the association.
I heard that this child got into trouble again some time ago, and my younger brother was worried and insisted on dragging me over, hoping to make peace with him."
Xu Fa clearly regarded Wen Xiaodao as a junior in his family. He was not here to be a peacemaker. He was just here to find a place for Wen Xiaodao.
Minister Yang just felt tired. He just wanted to comfort Ouyang Yu so that he could rent those patents more conveniently in the future. Why didn't it go so well?
Xu Fa looked at his younger brother who had already greeted Wen Xiaodao, then looked at Minister Yang and said meaningfully:
"No matter how kind you are to Earl Ouyang, he is also the Earl of United Continent, with a different status. But if Xiaodao inherits his family business, wouldn't those patents belong to us? You, you are really putting the cart before the horse."
