Chapter 135: Proposal
The birthday party officially begins.
Like all birthday banquets, the first part is to pay birthday wishes. Of course, it is just the Fu family who pays birthday wishes. Only the Fu family has this qualification, while others are watching.
With the help of his family, Mr. Fu walked to the center and wrote a big "longevity" red sandalwood chair to sit down, and began to accept blessings from his descendants at home.
First, the second generation of the Fu family, led by Fu Pengcheng, began to come forward one after another to deliver their own birthday gifts and kowtowed to Mr. Fu to celebrate his birthday.
There are more than twenty direct, side, and far-reaching, which makes many guests attending the birthday party feel the heritage of the big family. Even the Fu family, the newly promoted sixth big family, is so prosperous that there are more than twenty second-generation children alone. This is still qualified to enter the inner hall to kowtow to Mr. Fu to celebrate his birthday, and there are more people who are not qualified.
Then there is the third generation, both the direct line, the side line, and the distant line appeared one after another. This time, the number of people exceeded fifty people. Before, they went forward one by one, and behind them, there were groups of three or five. The process was the same, giving gifts and kowtows to celebrate their birthdays...
Mr. Fu sat on the red sandalwood chair, always smiling and kind, looking very happy, but he was not like this in his heart, because the person who celebrated his birthday lacked the most important role, his eldest granddaughter Fu Ziqing.
Fu Ziqing is the eldest granddaughter among the third generation of the Fu family, but she is only ranked ninth in the overall ranking. Even in the direct line, she is only ranked third. The eldest son Fu Pengcheng's two sons are older than Fu Ziqing, but Fu Ziqing is the real controller of the Fu family now, with a unique status and even the status and influence in the family industry is greater than that of Mr. Fu, the real head of the family.
Mr. Fu wouldn't mind anyone who kowtowed to her for her birthday, but Fu Ziqing could not be missing, because she was still the protagonist of another thing today.
The Lin family is coming to propose marriage, and the partner of marriage is Fu Ziqing%
But Fu Ziqing was not there.
Mr. Fu didn't care before, because he knew the granddaughter's temperament, arrogance, but had a view of the overall situation. He would never surprise himself in such an occasion. Even if she didn't want to, he would definitely appear. But now, all the third generation of descendants have finished their birthdays, but Fu Ziqing has not arrived yet.
This made Mr. Fu feel something was wrong.
Could it be that this granddaughter really wants to put herself and the entire Fu family pigeons at the birthday party? Does she really care about the losses caused by the Fu family?
Mr. Fu suddenly felt a little unconfident.
Heavy mood.
But there was no trace of it on his face, and he still looked extremely happy with a smile...
soon.
All the third-generation children of the Fu family have finished their birthdays and have changed into the only fourth-generation children. The oldest is only eight or nine years old. They come over to kowtow to Mr. Fu and bless him. The gifts they give are even more childish. They are toys made by the children themselves, which makes many people around laugh...
Mr. Fu was also laughing, but his mood was even heavier.
Fu Ziqing still did not show up.
This made Mr. Fu feel a little helpless. He still underestimated the arrogance of this granddaughter too much. Maybe he shouldn't have forced her.
At this moment, Mr. Fu suddenly regretted his previous decision.
He was about to get up and prepare to greet guests for dinner, but another person walked out of the inner hall.
It is the other protagonist in the rumors of the birthday party, Lin Cong, the eldest daughter of the Lin family.
Lin Cong walked to the middle with a smile on his face, holding an exquisite small box in his hand, and congratulated him respectfully: "Grandpa Fu, I also wish you happiness as long as the East China Sea and the South Mountain." As he said that, he actually knelt down and kowtowed to Mr. Fu, then stood up, held the small box in his hands and delivered it to Mr. Fu: "Grandpa Fu, this is the gift I prepared for you. Do you think you like it?"
This sudden scene not only stunned Mr. Fu, but everyone who saw this scene at the birthday party was stunned. You should know that kowtowing and congratulations at the birthday party was a link that only the juniors of their family had. This is a matter that people know. Outsiders just watched and could not participate, and they never thought about participating. However, Lin Cong stood up and kowtowed to Mr. Fu directly. Although he only stood up after all the children of the Fu family, he also stood up. In principle, the traditional process has been broken. Lin Cong is not a member of the Fu family at all. Strictly speaking, he is not qualified to kowtow here. It doesn't matter how much kowtow to Mr. Fu behind his back, but the meaning of kowtowing is completely different in the current attention.
Is Lin Cong already regarded himself as a member of the Fu family, or did he pass the Fu family's approval in advance?
In short, no one would think that Lin Cong was ignorant.
But he didn't know that Lin Cong's sudden movement was even a little stunned. He instinctively glanced at Old Lin by the table. He saw Old Lin's smile at him, and his heart moved. He vaguely understood what Old Lin meant. He was also a little angry. Although the two had already discussed the marriage before, Lin Cong ran out to kowtow now but was definitely not as expected. Old Lin was a good decision, which made Old Fu very unhappy.
But there is no way to attack, and it cannot even show any dissatisfaction.
Dissatisfied, Old Fu's face immediately smiled brightly, reached out to take the exquisite small box from Lin Cong's hand, and smiled heartily: "Okay, let me see what gift you have prepared for Grandpa Fu?"
The scene where Mr. Fu took Lin Cong's gift with a smile was another signal in the eyes of outsiders. He thought that the previous rumors seemed to be true. The Lin family really wanted to propose marriage to the Fu family, and it seemed that the two sides had reached an agreement secretly. Otherwise, Mr. Lin's pride would never willingly kowtow to Mr. Fu at the birthday party, and he completely regarded himself as the Fu family, and Mr. Fu would never agree.
Then people saw Mr. Fu open the small box, and immediately showed a shocked expression on his face. He looked up at Lin Cong in disbelief...
What gift actually shocked Mr. Fu?
People who saw this scene speculated that some people who were closer even stood up and watched... and then...
All those who saw the true appearance of the "gift" stared wide at the same time, and many people even exclaimed...
The small box is not big, so the gift is naturally not very big. Compared with the gifts given to Mr. Fu before by the Fu family, the gifts in the box are too scary, and there is a purple jadeite the size of a duck egg placed inside.
A simple jadeite the size of a duck egg can naturally not cause such a big sensation. Even the best one is just a piece of jade. However, this piece of pink wants to hold a diamond the size of a quail egg-shaped teardrop. This is not only a complete diamond, but also a diamond with different colors. It is a colorful diamond, like a dream and flawless.
"It's rainbow tears, it's rainbow tears!"
Some of the guests exclaimed incredible exclamations, and more than one woman had her eyes lit up and wanted to rush forward to grab it. Jewelry is born with irresistible temptation to women, let alone such a dazzling diamond.
All those who can attend the birthday party and sit in Shuiting are not ordinary people, and their eyes are also fierce. Not only one person recognized the identity of this diamond at this moment, but it was a rainbow tear that was listed among the top ten dream jewelry in the world. A few years ago, the rainbow tear made its debut at an auction in Dubai for the first time and was bought by a mysterious rich man, but he did not expect it to appear here.
Of course, buying a diamond with the Lin family's industry is just a pediatric department. No matter how expensive it is, it can be priced. However, rainbow tears are rainbow tears after all. It is the top jewelry among the top ten dream jewelry. It can be said to be Zhen Bao that all women in the world dream of.
Not only were the guests shocked, but Mr. Fu, who was holding this dreamy diamond in his hand, was also stunned. Then an invisible anger appeared. He looked at Mr. Lin, who was still smiling not far away, because this rainbow tears were originally given to his granddaughter Fu Ziqing as a betrothal gift, but now they were in his hands in this way. The purpose of the Lin family was self-evident. Even as long as they were not fools, the guests would definitely understand that the real object of this diamond was not him, and that an old man was wearing nothing but jewelry.
"Grandpa Fu, do you still like the gift I gave?" Seeing Mr. Fu looking at him with a complicated expression, Lin Cong still smiled and asked respectfully.
"This diamond is too expensive." Old Fu sighed and closed the box. If his granddaughter was here, he wouldn't mind the diamond under his command, but now Fu Ziqing didn't come at all, so what's the point of accepting it himself. Moreover, Lin Cong gave this gift at this time clearly meant that the Lin family put pressure on him.
Bullying people?
Although I agreed to marry my granddaughter to Lin Cong as my daughter-in-law for some reason, it does not mean that the two families are really one-hearted, and it is impossible to be one-hearted.
"Is it expensive? This is not expensive, haha!"
At this moment, Old Lin stood up and walked over with a smile.
Everyone's eyes lit up. Looking at the two old men, they knew that today's highlight was coming.
"Brother Lin, what do you mean?" Old Fu asked with a smile, deliberately pretending to be stupid.
"Brother Fu, let me say that. My grandson, my grandson, was not given to you this diamond, but to your granddaughter Xiaoqing. Haha, Xiaoqing is already at the age of marriage. I wonder if Brother Fu thinks that my grandson is worthy of your granddaughter?" Old Lin looked at Old Fu with a smile, with a bright face: "To be honest, my grandson fell in love with your Xiaoqing at the first sight. He has been in secret for more than ten years. He is definitely a deep love for Xiaoqing. Brother Fu, do you think you want to match the two of them?"
Mr. Fu's heart skipped a beat, and the most feared thing was that he would not be so worried if Fu Ziqing was here, but now things are completely different from expectations. So far, Fu Ziqing has not appeared. Mr. Fu felt that his granddaughter would not appear. However, at this time, the Lin family was in front of him in front of hundreds of guests. He would not agree to the Lin family in the face, but he agreed that his granddaughter was not here. Even if he agreed, if an accident happened later, it would be that the Fu family was not.
At this moment, a sound suddenly sounded in the outer hall.
"Mr. Lin, are you proposing marriage for your grandson?" With the voice, a tall middle-aged man stood up near the door, not angry, but looked at the inner hall with a bad look.
"Yes, I'm just proposing marriage for my grandson. I just don't know if Brother Fu agrees with this marriage, haha!" Old Lin smiled. When he spoke, he glanced outside and withdrew his gaze. It seemed that he had expected someone to make things difficult for a long time, but he didn't care at all. The marriage was a matter between the Lin family and the Fu family, and others were not qualified to interfere.
"Haha, what a joke. Mr. Lin actually proposed to Lin Cong for marriage. Don't you know that Fu Ziqing is already a member of someone else?"
The man laughed loudly, very rampant. After saying that, he suddenly turned around and looked outside: "Chu Zangxuan, Old Man Lin wants to steal your Chu family's daughter-in-law now. Don't you stand up and say it?"
brush!
Everyone looked at Chu Zhanxuan at a table...
Chapter completed!
