After dinner in the evening, the two children pestered Han Tingzhou to play with them. The previously dull home became lively again because of Han Tingzhou's return.
Miaomiao did not disturb their parent-child time and walked upstairs. When passing by Shan Chenghao's room, she paused and opened the door and went in. The room was clean and tidy, and there was nothing left by him in the closet, just like him
It's like never staying here before.
She closed the closet door gently and murmured to herself: "This is good. I hope he won't bother me again."
In a blink of an eye, it's Sunday, Mr. Miao's birthday. The birthday banquet is scheduled for six o'clock in the evening at the World Trade Hotel.
At five o'clock, the family of four set out.
"Mommy, will many people come tonight?" Miao Sichen asked curiously from behind.
Miaomiao looked back at them and said, "I don't know, I guess there won't be many people. But you two are not allowed to run around, you know?"
"Yeah, I know." The two children said in unison.
Miao Miao turned around, looked forward, and said quietly: "Since grandpa passed away, the Miao family is not what it used to be. We can't invite anyone here. I guess it's just some relatives at home."
"It is said that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. The Miao family will not be able to cut off all the connections in the shopping mall. I don't think the banquet will be too deserted."
"Really?" Miaomiao raised her eyebrows, expressing disbelief.
Han Tingzhou glanced at her calmly, "What? You don't believe it? Then do you want to make a bet? What will you do if I'm right?"
"I'll treat you to a meal."
"It's boring." Han Tingzhou said slyly: "If I win, you agree to my request, okay?"
"What is your request?" Miaomiao asked curiously.
Han Tingzhou said, "You will know this when the time comes."
"You haven't said it yet? What if it's bad for me?" Miaomiao asked with her lips curled up.
"Do you think I will do something detrimental to you?" Han Tingzhou seemed to be humiliated, with a bit of displeasure on his face.
Miaomiao laughed twice and agreed happily: "Okay! Just bet! What if I win?"
"You win, you can do whatever you want, you can make any request!" After Han Tingzhou finished speaking, his face showed a bit of cunning.
Seeing his smile, Miaomiao suddenly felt that something was not right, as if she had fallen into the trap he had designed. But now it was too late to regret it, and she just hoped that she was overthinking it.
We drove to the hotel smoothly, parked the car in the basement, and the family entered the elevator and went upstairs.
Because Miao Miao lost Tiantian at the wedding last time, Miao Miao felt somewhat shadowed in her heart. At this time, she told the children in the elevator not to run around or run out of the restaurant.
"I'm here this time, so nothing like that will happen again. Don't worry." Han Tingzhou patted her on the shoulder and said.
Peony Hall.
Two waiters opened the door to the restaurant for them. The place was bustling with people, and there were many guests, making it very lively.
"Why are there so many people here?" Miao Miao was surprised, "There must be seventy or eighty tables here, right?"
Han Tingzhou said: "The Peony Hall can accommodate up to 200 tables, so there must be 80 tables."
"Here, there are too many people here, right? Who have they invited?" Miaomiao looked around and saw some familiar people and others she didn't recognize.
Han Tingzhou looked at it and said: "The top ones are not invited, the middle ones are invited many bosses, and then there are the people in the same position. I think it's pretty good. The people who came today, except for my uncle's friends and the like,
, most of them come here for grandpa’s sake, so it won’t be too hot and cold.”
"Is that so? Grandpa has been gone for five years, and he is not a kind person. How can he have such a great reputation? Anyway, I don't believe it." Miao Miao curled her lips to express her disbelief.
"Let's not stand here and analyze. Let's go see my uncle first." After Han Tingzhou finished speaking, he naturally put his arms around her waist and whispered in her ear: "From now on, I am going to get into the drama."
Miaomiao tilted her head slightly and looked at him sideways, "Don't go too far."
When he came to Boss Miao's table, he was chatting with some old friends. When he saw the Miao Miao family coming, he stood up happily and said, "Here we come!"
"Happy birthday, Dad." Han Tingzhou said first.
"Happy birthday, grandpa." The two children followed closely and sent their blessings.
Boss Miao looked at Han Tingzhou carefully. The more he looked at it, the more familiar it seemed, but he was confused for a moment and couldn't remember his name.
"Dad, my name is Han Tingzhou, do you still remember me?"
When Boss Miao heard this, he suddenly realized: "The young master of the Han family? What I'm talking about, I think I've seen it somewhere. It's been so many years since I last saw him. What a big change."
"Brother Miao, is this your first time meeting my uncle?" the friend next to him asked jokingly.
Mr. Miao laughed and said: "Blame me, blame me, for various reasons. This is the first time I met my uncle."
Miaomiao said: "Dad, let's go sit over there while you chat with the uncles."
"Come here later, I haven't missed the children yet."
Miaomiao nodded, and then she and Han Tingzhou took the children to sit at a table closer to the side.
"Why are you sitting in such a remote place?" Han Tingzhou picked up the candy on the table and gave it to the little brother and sister.
Miaomiao held her chin and said, "I don't want to see the Miao family, especially Wang Yan and my sister-in-law. Also, I don't want you to be too exposed. It wouldn't be good if you see someone you know."
"I said you don't have to think about me, it's okay with me." Han Tingzhou looked over and said with a proud smile: "Wanjia, am I right? There are so many people here, it seems that I won the bet.
"
Miaomiao sighed helplessly and said, "Yes, you win. If you have any requests, please make them quickly."
"You can't mention it here, you can mention it when you go home." Han Tingzhou smiled, "It's okay, you didn't cheat on me."
"Tch! I can afford it!" Miaomiao said proudly.
Han Tingzhou said nothing, stared at a table in front of him, sneered, and said inexplicably: "That's what I said."
"What did you say? What's wrong?" Miaomiao asked curiously, following his gaze.
I saw Shan Chenghao sitting at the head seat of that table, and people on both sides were smiling and saying something to him flatteringly.
Miaomiao's eyes widened a bit, "Why is he here too?"
Han Tingzhou withdrew his gaze and said, "Don't some of your family members still work in his company? It's just that he came in person, and the drunkard doesn't care about drinking."
Miao Miao felt that what Han Tingzhou said was very reasonable. There was no need for him to come personally to a birthday banquet of this level for his father. Grandpa was not here, so he could just ask his assistant to come. However, the Miao family was still happy that he could come.
It's so bright.
"What the hell, let's just pretend we didn't see it." Miao Miao didn't look in that direction, but moved her position with her back to him.
More guests arrived one after another, and the banquet hadn't started yet, so the two children couldn't sit still.
"Mommy, I don't want to sit like this, I want to go out and play." Miao Sichen twisted around on the chair.
Miaomiao said: "There is nothing interesting outside, just wait here, it will start in a moment."
"Mommy, I want to go to the bathroom." Tiantian said.
