A group of servants and maids suddenly poured out of the hall and lined up on both sides. Then a dignified-looking middle-aged man walked out supporting an old lady with snow-white hair. Behind the old lady, there were more than a dozen women. These women were all dressed up. They were all gorgeous. The oldest was over forty, and the youngest was in her twenties. They were all good-looking. Behind these women were followed by seven or eight young men and women. They were all not very old. Judging from their attire, they seemed to be very good-looking. They are Ye Haoran's children.
Seeing the middle-aged man and the old lady coming out, thousands of people in the square stood up at the same time and shouted: "Welcome to the old lady. Welcome to Mayor Ye."
From the moment the old lady appeared, Ye Ling'er's eye circles began to turn red and tears rolled in her eyes.
"That old lady with snow-white hair is your grandma." Lin San asked softly.
Ye Ling'er nodded: "It's my grandma. I haven't seen her for a few years. She is getting older."
"The middle-aged man supporting your grandma is your father. Ye Haoran, the mayor of Huaiyang Town." Lin San continued to ask.
This time Ye Ling'er shook her head: "Ye Haoran is not my father."
Lin San chirped: "Yes. Ye Haoran is not worthy of being your father."
There are more than a dozen chairs placed on the stone steps in front of the hall. The old lady who is the birthday girl today sits on the middle chair. Ye Haoran sits on the left side of the old lady. The dozen or so women sit in the other seats in order. On the chair, Ye Haoran's children stood behind the old lady.
"The auspicious time has come. The birthday banquet has begun." Butler Liu shouted loudly at Ye Haoran's signal.
A group of singers came from all around and danced in the middle of the square. A group of musicians played music nearby. The music was beautiful and the singers were even more beautiful. These singers were all wearing very little clothes. They exposed all the places that should be exposed and the places that shouldn't be exposed. Half of it was exposed. Anyway, the guests kept applauding.
After the singing and dancing, it’s time to give birthday gifts.
The first person to come forward to give a birthday gift turned out to be Zhao Tianhu, the leader of the Tiger Wolf Gang. There are two big figures in Huaiyang Town. One is the mayor Ye Haoran. The other is Zhao Tianhu. He is a good person and even named the two of them. What is the nickname "Huaiyang Two Heroes"? Ye Haoran represents the government and Zhao Tianhu represents the underworld forces. It stands to reason that the two should be on the same page. But the fact is exactly the opposite. Ye Haoran and Zhao Tianhu have a very good personal relationship. They usually meet every now and then. Get together to drink and chat.
Zhao Tianhu politely congratulated the old lady and then gave her a birthday gift. Zhao Tianhu's birthday gift was two luminous pearls the size of bull's eyes. They had a smooth surface and emitted soft white light. They were priceless at first glance.
"Oh, the gift from Brother Zhao is too expensive. I really dare not accept it." Ye Haoran said in embarrassment.
The old lady sat quietly on the chair. She smiled at Zhao Tianhu and said nothing. Since the old lady suffered a stroke a few years ago, it has been inconvenient for her to move and speak. Even her brain seemed to have problems.
"Hey, Brother Ye, it's just two luminous pearls. It's not worth making a fuss about." Zhao Tianhu said generously.
Ye Haoran declined for a few moments, and then the servant Ding put the Ye Mingzhu away.
After delivering the birthday gifts, Zhao Tianhu returned to his seat.
Next, other guests also began to give gifts. Most of the people who were able to attend the birthday banquet were well-known people. The gifts they brought out were of high quality. In the blink of an eye, the door of the hall was filled with all kinds of gifts. Butler Liu, who was recording the birthday gifts, almost died from exhaustion.
More than an hour passed before the guests finished giving away the birthday gifts.
Butler Liu wiped the sweat from his forehead. He was about to ask the servants to carry away the pile of gifts. Suddenly, a woman's cry came from below: "Wait a minute." Butler Liu turned around in confusion. He saw the guests from the corner of the room. A man and a woman came forward. The woman was beautiful and the man was handsome. They were simply a golden couple.
"Isn't this the illegitimate daughter who was kicked out of the mayor's mansion a few years ago?" someone among the guests whispered.
The men and women who came out from among the guests were none other than Lin San and Ye Ling'er.
Seeing the sudden appearance of Ye Ling'er, Ye Haoran's face suddenly darkened. However, the eyes of the old lady sitting on the birthday chair shone brightly and her lips trembled. She didn't know what she was mumbling.
"Grandma." Ye Linger quickly ran towards the old lady.
"Stop this wild girl." Madam Miao Cui'e suddenly stood up and shouted loudly.
Two servants immediately stopped Ye Linger.
"Wild girl, you actually dare to enter this house again. Aren't you afraid that I will break your legs?" Miao Cui'e glared at Ye Ling'er.
Ye Ling'er looked at Miao Cui'e fearlessly: "I'm here to wish grandma a birthday."
"Grandma, Ye Ling'er. You are no longer from the Ye family. There is no grandma of yours or servant here. Get this wild girl out of here." Miao Cui'e said coldly.
The two servants immediately drove Ye Ling'er away.
Lin San, who was standing nearby, was furious. Just as he was about to step forward and kick away the two servants, he heard an old voice coming from the door of the hall: "Hold... your hands. Hold your... hands..."
It's the old lady. It's actually the old lady who has suffered a stroke who is talking.
A trace of surprise flashed in Ye Haoran's eyes. The old lady had never spoken since she had a stroke a few years ago. What happened today? Could it be that the old lady was lucky enough to celebrate her birthday and her condition was cured.
Not only Ye Haoran was surprised. Even the rest of the Ye family had puzzled faces.
The old lady stretched out her skinny hand tremblingly and waved towards Ye Ling'er: "Ling'er... come here... come..."
"Grandma." Ye Linger immediately pushed away the two servants and quickly ran to the old lady. "Plop." He knelt on the ground with a sound. He looked at the old lady with red eyes: "Grandma..."
"Linger..." The old lady reached out and gently stroked Ye Linger's hair. Muddy tears flowed from her eyes: "These years...where have you been...grandma misses you..."
"Grandma." Ye Ling'er couldn't bear it any longer. She hugged the old lady and started crying. After so many years, Ye Ling'er finally saw the grandma who loved her the most. Seeing her grandma suffering from a stroke and paralysis, Ye Ling'er My heart felt extremely uncomfortable.
An old man and a young man stood at the door of the hall and cried as if there was no one around.
"Ahem..." Ye Haoran coughed and said to the old lady: "Mom, today is your birthday. You should be happy. Stop crying."
Under Ye Haoran's persuasion, the old lady finally stopped crying.
"Grandma, this is my birthday gift to you." Ye Ling'er took off a baggage from behind. He opened the bag and took out a scroll of calligraphy and painting: "This is the picture of Thousands of Lifetimes written by Mr. Hu Sihai, a great contemporary man. I liked it at first sight. I bought it specially for you, grandma." As he spoke, Ye Linger opened the calligraphy and painting. A large piece of the Chinese character "longevity" was displayed in front of everyone.
