"Mr. Liu, when you called us here today, which guest did you want to entertain?"
"Yes, everyone has been waiting for two or three hours. Why hasn't this guest arrived yet?"
"Mr. Liu, what kind of status do you have? It doesn't matter to us that the other party breaks the promise, but the other party doesn't take you seriously enough, right?"
"Dad, there are still many things to deal with in the company. We can't waste time here."
"Yes, waiting is not an option. Why don't you, old man, call the other party and ask?"
In the Liu family's banquet hall, everyone couldn't stand it any longer. Some high-ranking guests asked, and others immediately followed suit and began to complain.
Although the old man of the Liu family has a very high say in Rongcheng, everyone is not idle. If the distinguished guest does not arrive all night, we can't wait here all night, right?
Mr. Liu was also a little embarrassed. He coughed twice and said:
"The nobleman we are hosting today has a very high status. Our Liu family is nothing in front of him. I owe my status to this distinguished guest!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. Although the Liu family ranked last among the three major families in Rongcheng, they were still an unshakable existence.
Although Mr. Liu Mingzhi did not do well in the Sichuan and Chongqing areas when he was young, he turned the tide after arriving in Rongcheng. In just twenty years, he managed to bring down the two major families in Rongcheng.
It became one of the three major aristocratic families, putting the Liu family, an outsider family, above ordinary dignitaries.
Everyone is curious about how Liu Mingzhi does this, but no one knows the reason.
Now that Mr. Liu has personally admitted that he has been able to get to where he is today thanks to this distinguished guest, everyone is suddenly nervous and looking forward to it.
What kind of person can turn a down-and-out family into a top-notch family?
Mr. Liu added: "Among the guests today, there are outstanding juniors from my Liu family and outstanding neighbors from Zuihua. You can attend this banquet today because I, Mr. Liu, have the heart to support you. If that person is here tonight,
Your distinguished guest is here, if he can give you some pointers, your future will be bright and boundless!"
Everyone immediately stopped complaining, but they were more impatient than before, looking forward to the distinguished guest.
But what Mr. Liu said next made everyone feel cold: "That distinguished guest likes to pay attention to fate. When the fate comes, he will naturally appear. If the fate has not come, I'm afraid he won't come tonight. To be honest, I
I’m not sure if he will come, and I didn’t leave his contact information.”
Yan Shouyi doesn't have to come, but Mr. Liu has to prepare today's banquet. Even if Yan Shouyi arrives only in the early morning, Mr. Liu will be extremely happy.
However, the juniors and guests present became anxious again.
The master is indeed a master, and his ways of doing things are mysterious and mysterious. But if he doesn't show up tonight, how disappointed will everyone be?
Liu Yiren changed into casual clothes and quietly came to the banquet hall. After saying hello to Mr. Liu, she stood obediently behind Mr. Liu.
Mr. Liu asked doubtfully: "Yiyi, didn't you say you wouldn't attend?"
Liu Yiren smiled: "Grandpa, I was in a good mood today, but I suddenly changed my mind."
Mr. Liu noticed the bracelet on his granddaughter's wrist again and couldn't help but ask: "When did you buy your bracelet? It looks very good. Can you show it to grandpa?"
Liu Yiren usually never buys gold or silver jewelry, and even wearing earrings would be a disgrace to her, so today she suddenly has a bracelet on her hand, and Mr. Liu will immediately notice it.
Moreover, Mr. Liu could tell at a glance that this bracelet was of high quality and not from a roadside stall.
Liu Yiren carefully took off the bracelet, and it was obvious that she cared for it very much. When she handed it to Mr. Liu, she did not forget to warn him: "Be careful, don't break it..."
Liu Yiren's father Liu Zong couldn't help scolding: "Yiyi, why are you talking to your grandfather? It's just a bracelet, how much is it worth?"
"Hey, why are you angry with a child? Even if this bracelet is not valuable, maybe it has some special meaning? Am I right, Yiyi?"
Mr. Liu hinted wildly, and Liu Yiren's face suddenly turned red: "Grandpa, don't get me wrong, it's just a small gift from an ordinary friend."
"A small gift...this is not a small gift!"
Suddenly, Mr. Liu's expression changed. He held the bracelet and looked at it carefully several times. He called the servant to bring his reading glasses and checked it again and again.
Liu Zong asked doubtfully: "Dad, is there anything extraordinary about this bracelet? It seems to me to be very ordinary."
"What do you know?"
Mr. Liu took off his reading glasses and said in amazement: "The wooden beads on this bracelet are made from Hainan huanghuali. This Hainan huanghuali is also called Hainan rosewood. It usually grows on a hillside of more than 300 meters.
Collecting them is extremely difficult, and only a few are produced in a year. Even if I want to collect them, I can’t find a way to collect them!”
The seemingly ordinary wooden beads turned out to be priceless and rare treasures, which shocked both Liu Zong and Liu Yiren.
How could Liu Yiren have expected that Yan Shouyi, who looked like a country bumpkin, would hand out such a precious gift.
Moreover, he could give this kind of gift to a woman he had only known for a few hours. Was it Yan Shouyi who was generous or simply ignorant?
Or maybe he has different feelings for Liu Yiren, so he gave such a gift?
Mr. Liu followed up and said: "Look at the three jade stones on this bracelet. They are the finest mutton-fat white jade. Look at the texture, the water level, and the oiliness... They are all top choices. At a glance
It looks like freshly cut mutton fat, warm, fine, and natural... If you take out any of these three jade stones, the market price is more than three million. Although it is not particularly expensive, it is different from Hainan Huanghuali.
The same, they are both hard-to-find existences!"
Liu Zong took a breath and asked Liu Yiren: "Who is that friend you made, who is he, and why is he so generous to you?"
Liu Yiren said in a panic: "He's just an ordinary friend. He looks like he's dressed in a tacky way. He doesn't look like a rich man. If this bracelet is really worth that much, he might have gotten it somewhere."
"
"Yiyi, as a father, I don't know if you are telling the truth, but I still want to advise you to be careful about everything and don't be easily deceived by others. If you are not very familiar with that friend, you might as well return the gift.
Give it to him. We, the Liu family, do not owe favors to others easily." Liu Zong reminded seriously.
Liu Yiren lowered her head and agreed, but her tone was obviously somewhat reluctant.
After all, this was a gift given to her by Yan Shouyi, and she liked it very much. It would feel weird to just return it like this.
If it doesn't work, you can just pay him back the price!
Mr. Liu couldn't put it down, and suddenly discovered a detail. Then a smile appeared on his face, and when he handed the bracelet back to Liu Yiren, he said:
"There's no need to return it. This bracelet should be given to Yiyi alone, and it won't be given to anyone else in the future. Yiyi, if you like it, you can just give it to him according to the price. If you have a chance,
, you can also invite your friends to come and sit at our house."
Mr. Liu saw the wooden beads carved into the shape of poop. How could he not know that this was Liu Yiren's favorite prank pattern? So Mr. Liu immediately guessed something. He felt that the day for him to hold his grandson was approaching, and his face became distraught.
Smile consciously.
Liu Yiren took back the bracelet and immediately put it on. After such a fuss, she would not agree to anyone asking her to take off the bracelet in the future.
At this time, Uncle Zhong, the butler, suddenly ran into the banquet hall and shouted to Mr. Liu:
"Sir, the distinguished guest has arrived!"
"Coming?!"
Mr. Liu couldn't help but stood up, and other guests also stood up, stretched their necks, and looked expectantly towards the entrance.
Is this distinguished guest young or old, male or female, fat or thin?
Everyone is constantly imagining in their minds what the person who can bring Liu Mingzhi to his current position will look like.
Amid much anticipation, a man with long blond hair strode into the banquet hall.
Seeing this person's appearance, everyone couldn't help but be stunned. Liu Yiren was even more confused and asked: "Sun Zhipeng?"
Sun Zhipeng changed his clothes and hurriedly arrived at Liu's house. He was also wondering why everyone was staring at him expectantly.
Is it possible...
Mr. Liu just announced that he wants Yiyi to make an engagement with me?
Although Sun Zhipeng himself found it incredible, when he saw everyone's eyes, he suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of confidence.
He stood at the entrance, clasping his fists with both hands, and shouted to Mr. Liu: "Thank you, Mr. Liu, for your love. I will definitely not let Yiyi down!"
Mr. Liu: "..."
Liu Zong frowned: "What is this kid talking about?"
Sun Zhipeng's father, Sun Hao, kept winking at him, and he didn't know which part of his son was wrong.
Sun Zhipeng straightened up and found that everyone was still staring at him, with very strange expressions on their faces. He couldn't help but be stunned.
Shouldn't everyone congratulate me now?
Why are you all staring at me with such strange eyes?
Why does dad keep blinking at me?
Sun Zhipeng asked: "Dad, are your eyes uncomfortable?"
Sun Hao turned his head silently.
If the relationship between father and son could be severed, he hoped it would be now, right away!
Mr. Liu said indifferently: "Sun Zhipeng, please stand aside and don't disturb the distinguished guests from entering."
"ah……?"
Sun Zhipeng was still in a daze, so Sun Hao sent someone to drag him over.
When Sun Zhipeng learned the truth, he was immediately ashamed and wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
The passing of time is not going well, the passing of time is not going well!
When I went out today, I really should have taken a look at the almanac. It’s so embarrassing now!
Uncle Zhong also looked embarrassed. In order to make Yan Shouyi's appearance more grand, he specifically asked Yan Shouyi to wait in the reception room, but Sun Zhipeng happened to walk in first.
Uncle Zhong wiped his sweat and then shouted loudly outside the banquet hall door:
"Mr. Yan, everyone can't wait to see you. Come in quickly!"
Outside the banquet hall, a figure slowly appeared from far to near.
Everyone was nervous and looking forward to it, but the other party walked slowly and slowly, making everyone want to rush out and see his true appearance immediately.
Finally, the man walked into the banquet hall, and the bright light illuminated his slightly immature face and his clear eyes.
"Is it him?!"
In the banquet hall, two people were particularly surprised, one of them was Liu Yiren.
She would never have thought that the bumpkin she was talking about was actually the distinguished guest grandpa was hosting today!
But thinking about it carefully, it seemed that Yan Shouyi had told her from the very beginning that he was going to be a guest at Zuihuali today.
But even so, Liu Yiren still felt that it was incredible...
Another surprised person was Sun Zhipeng.
Before entering Liu's house, Sun Zhipeng called his younger brothers and asked them if they had squatted as far as Yan Shouyi. The answer was no. He even thought that Yan Shouyi took a detour and went down the mountain.
But he showed up at the Liu family, and he was so grand!
Bang!
Sun Zhipeng immediately slapped the table and stood up: "You brat, you dare to break into Liu's house, where is the security guard? Catch him quickly, he is a thief!"
In Sun Zhipeng's eyes, Yan Shouyi at this time was clearly a little thief who accidentally stole into the Liu family banquet hall.
Catch him soon and he will feel better!
However, as soon as Sun Zhipeng finished speaking, Mr. Liu immediately shouted: "Who dares to do something to a distinguished guest of my Liu family?!"
As soon as these words came out, the huge banquet hall was silent. Sun Zhipeng stood alone and became the focus of everyone's attention. At this time, he was neither standing nor sitting down. When he lowered his head, he was about to greet his father, Sun Hao, who seemed to be about to greet him.
A murderous look.
Sun Zhipeng couldn't help but take two steps back: "He...how can he be an honored guest of the Liu family? Impossible, he is just a bumpkin..."
"Hurry up and sit down for me!" Sun Hao couldn't bear it anymore and yelled at Sun Zhipeng.
Although Yan Shouyi is much younger than everyone thought, Sun Hao would not doubt Liu Mingzhi's words.
If this young man named Yan Shouyi can help Liu Mingzhi achieve his current status, then he must have the ability to make their Sun family plummet!
So at this moment, Sun Hao felt a little numb and didn't know what to do next. At the same time, he wanted to twist off his stupid son's head.
Something that is more than enough to succeed and more than enough to fail!
Yan Shou smiled, nodded to the guests, then strode into the banquet hall, and said as he walked:
"Everyone, I'm sorry, there was an accident on the road, so I'm late and I kept everyone waiting."
As he spoke, he also raised his injured hand.
When Mr. Liu saw that Yan Shouyi was injured, he immediately asked with concern: "What happened? Is it serious?"
"It's just a skin injury. It was treated by an unprofessional doctor. It's nothing serious."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Shouyi's steps suddenly stopped.
Because it was only then that he noticed that Liu Yiren was standing behind Mr. Liu.
Moreover, she gritted her teeth and looked at herself.
The scene suddenly became awkward.
It was as if the two people who had just said goodbye turned around and met each other in the bar.
It was as if the two people who had just said good night met each other in the Canyon of Kings.
And it seems like...
All in all, Yan Shouyi's mood at this time was not much better than that of Sun Zhipeng. He could neither move forward nor retreat. He stood in the middle of the banquet hall for a while, not knowing where to go.
Mr. Liu greeted: "Shouyi, come and sit next to me, I will introduce you to today's guests!"
"good……"
Yan Shouyi swallowed his saliva, walked slowly to Mr. Liu, and sat side by side with him. Liu Yiren was standing directly behind him, which made Yan Shouyi feel a chill on his back.
"Let me take a look at your injury. If it's serious, it's better to let a professional doctor take a look!"
Mr. Liu couldn't help but pull Yan Shouyi's arm, and soon he saw the strange patterns drawn with watercolors on the bandage.
In an instant, the mature Liu Mingzhi understood what had happened.
He calmly let go of his hand, then glanced at Liu Yiren who was standing behind Yan Shouyi gritting his teeth, and couldn't help but smile:
"This unprofessional doctor is good at treating wounds. It seems that he doesn't need to find another doctor. But Shouichi, you must remember to check with this doctor frequently to ensure that the wound can heal quickly!"
