The Li family is a military family, so for Mrs. Li's birthday banquet, there will naturally be various people coming to celebrate her birthday. As a family friend of the Li family, the Tang family will be there early to help out.
The birthday banquet was held at noon, and the Tang family also got up early, had breakfast together, changed into their uniforms, and the family went to Li's house together in three cars.
The dresses for Tang Sibo Sufu and his two children were prepared by Uncle Wei. They are the same style of suits. Tang Sibo and Tang Luoke are in dark blue, serious and dignified, while Sufu and Juanjuan are in light blue, elegant Those who are soft and winking can tell that this is a family of four.
It's rare for Su Fu to dress so formally. In the morning, a stylist comes to do the styling, which makes him feel uncomfortable sitting in the car now.
Knowing that he had never participated in such a banquet, Tang Si Bai held the steering wheel with one hand and Su Fu's hand with the other, squeezed, and said, "Don't be nervous, Li Chao and Liu An are here today, you know them all, Just go to a friend's house to play."
Su Fu nodded, put Tang Sibo's hands back on the steering wheel, and signaled him to drive safely.
Tang Sibo smiled helplessly.
"Madam Li is Li Chao's mother, right? Are you only 50 years old? Li Chao is about the same age as you, right?" In order to relieve his nervousness, Su Fu began to find topics to chat.
"Well, Aunt Li is the daughter of Mrs. Li's old lover. When Aunt Li was 15 years old, both of her parents died. Mrs. Li always missed her old lover, so she took her lover's daughter back to raise her. I want my son to marry her."
As expected, there are many rich stories, and Su Fu sighed, "So Mrs. Li married Mr. Li very early?"
"That generation generally got married earlier, and so did my parents. However, there are still many hidden secrets in the union of the uncle and aunt of the Li family. I will tell you slowly later."
Su Fu thought about it, probably some secret of the Li family was involved, so he nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
In about twenty minutes, the Tang family's cars entered the Li family's mansion one after another.
Su Fu sat in the passenger seat, looked through the window, and found that the Li family's mansion was also very large, but in terms of decoration and layout, it didn't look as elegant and warm as the Tang family's, but rather cold, probably because the Li family's past generations It's because of the soldiers.
At this time, there is still a long time before the birthday banquet, but even so early, many guests have already visited.
The Tang and Li families have been friends for generations, and Master Tang and Master Li are also good brothers. After the Tang family's car entered the gate of the Li family, it did not stop at today's guest parking lot, but directly entered the private parking garage of the Li family.
The group of people got out of the car, and the butler of the Li family hurried up to greet him, told Father Tang that so-and-so had arrived, and then respectfully led them to the reception hall.
The birthday banquet was held in the banquet hall of Li's family. The living room we are going to now is the place where Mr. Li received important guests today, and some other guests will be received by Dai Li and the butler.
Tang's father and Tang's mother brought the children to the living room of Li's house. Master Li immediately stood up with a smile and said, "Brother Tang is here, come and sit, come and sit."
There were four or five men of similar age in the living room, and they all came over to greet with a smile.
Afraid that Su Fu would be nervous, Tang Sibo held Su Fu's hand, and whispered, "They are all friends in Uncle Li's army, and there are two officials from City B, you don't need to know each other, don't be nervous."
Su Fu nodded, and saw that the old men were very happy chatting. Mr. Li was dressed in a military uniform, full of energy, very handsome and upright, and he couldn't tell that he was over fifty.
"The children in Old Tang's family are really the dragons and phoenixes among everyone! They envy my generation!" The mayor of City B began to praise the children behind Tang's father. How elegant and dignified the second child is, how well-behaved and cute young master Tang is, until when it comes to Su Fu, he is stunned, he doesn't know him...
Not to mention that he didn't know each other, neither did Master Li, but when he saw Tang Si Bai and Su Fu holding hands, he understood. Master Li is also a good person, and he has a tacit understanding with Tang's father's brothers for many years. He knows that Tang's father brought Su Fu back in such an open manner today, which means to protect him publicly.
So, seeing that the mayor was stuck, Master Li continued, "Xiaobai, why don't you introduce yourself?"
Tang Si Bai smiled slightly, and said: "My nephew was negligent, my uncles haven't seen him yet, this is my lover Su Fu."
Then he looked at Juan Juan who was holding hands with Tang Luoke and led by Tang's mother, and said, "That little guy is our adopted son."
Su Fu's heart tightened when he said it, and he tightly grasped Tang Si Bai's hand.
Tang Si Bai squeezed his hand, and took a slight step sideways, pushing Su Fu closer, feeling faintly protective.
Master Li was not surprised, he could tell, not to mention that his son was with Liu An, and he didn't have any opinion about his elder brother many years ago.
Several other old men looked at each other, a mouthful of old blood stuck in their throats, not knowing what to say. It stands to reason that there is nothing to show off about a homosexual in the century-old Tang family, right? Just default like the one from the Li family, right? Is it necessary to introduce it so openly
But they just did it so naturally and aboveboard. If they had any bad reaction, it seemed that they would offend people immediately.
Father Tang saw that these old fellows had stopped talking, and knew what they were thinking, so he said to Su Fu, "Xiao Fu, they are all uncles, just ask."
When the old men heard this, okay, Old Tang publicly protected them and put pressure on them.
Hearing Tang's father's words, Su Fu calmed down a little, let go of Tang Si Bai's hand, bowed slightly, and said to the old men: "Hello, uncles, it's the first time we meet, please forgive me."
"Okay, okay, Tang Ershao's lover is really unusual! The young master is also very cute!" After the mayor of City B, who always felt that kindness makes money, realized it, he quickly continued to flatter him, regardless of whether he was a man or a woman, as long as it was the Tang family. There is nothing wrong with boasting.
The rest of the old fellows agreed one by one, and no one said anything bad.
These few are all prominent figures in City B, and they have always been friends with the Tang Li family, but they are not close to the level of confidants. Tang's father saw that it was almost done, so he didn't let Su Fu deal with them too much, and asked Tang's mother to take the juniors out for a stroll.
After leaving the living room, Mother Tang took them to the banquet hall. At this moment, there were already many guests chatting in the banquet hall, all of whom were from famous families in City B.
Looking at the well-known girls in gorgeous dresses, Tang's mother knew that Mrs. Li was still determined and wanted to talk about a good marriage with Li Chaopan. Immediately, he snorted coldly, the bad habit of beating mandarin ducks with clubs could not be changed.
When the noble ladies saw Mrs. Tang arrived, they covered their mouths and smiled and led their daughters around. The marriage of the Tang family was very attractive to them, not to mention that the two successful sons of the Tang family were still unmarried. The so-called single noble probably refers to this kind of family.
Upon seeing this scene, Big Brother Tang was the first to have a headache. He talked to Mother Tang and walked away alone.
So Su Fu saw those ladies and ladies, all of them turned their eyes to Mr. Tang beside him.
Tang Sining poked Su Fu, and said in a low voice, "Hurry up and take my second brother away, these ladies want to eat people!"
Su Fu was startled, and subconsciously clenched Tang Si Bai's hand.
Tang Si Bai smiled lightly, also talked to Tang's mother, and led Su Fu away.
Juanjuan wanted to follow at first, but was picked up by Tang's mother, took Tang Luoke by the hand, and began to show off the two good grandchildren.
The ladies began to think, the two young masters are very cute, but their girls can't wait that long.
The birthday banquet was in the form of a buffet. It was approaching noon at this time, and the long tables in the banquet hall were already filled with food and wine one after another. Before the birthday banquet begins, the guests who arrive can eat, drink and chat freely.
Tang Sibo led Su Fu to the snack area, took a plate, and put several kinds of snacks for Su Fu.
"I saw that you didn't eat much in the morning, are you hungry?"
Su Fu took it, ate a shrimp dumpling, and said, "I'm not hungry, I'm just a little bored."
Tang Si Bai pinched Su Fu's earlobe with a smile, and said: "The more people there are, the more boring the banquet is. You can just eat and drink, and don't care about the rest."
Su Fu looked at the banquet hall, where everyone seemed to be chatting with each other, so he asked, "Actually, the so-called birthday banquet has gone bad in the end, right?"
"Well, this kind of big banquet, no matter what the theme is, is actually the best place to make friends. If you're bored, after celebrating your birthday, I'll take you out for a stroll."
"It doesn't matter to me, you should think about how to deal with the friendship." Su Fu smiled and forked a glutinous rice cake to eat.
Tang Sibo turned his head, and saw that someone was walking towards them, but this person surprised him, it was actually Duan Qiqian.
"I'll go over there and call the waiter if there's anything to do, just like at home, don't be restrained." Tang Sibo softly urged, and lightly kissed the corner of Su Fu's mouth.
Su Fu nodded with a smile, and watched Tang Si Bai walk towards the handsome cold man who was on his way. The two of them said something expressionless, and then went to the false balcony outside together.
Su Fu ate the snack that Tang Si Bai gave him, and put the plate in the recycling place.
He wanted to go to the bathroom, but Tang Sibo seemed to be discussing business, and it was inconvenient for him to disturb him, so a waiter happened to pass by, so he asked where the bathroom was, and went alone.
The toilet is at the corner of the second floor. Su Fu went up to the second floor. Before he had walked a few steps, when he passed a lounge, he suddenly heard the sound of a cup breaking inside, which startled him.
Then, a woman's haughty and disdainful voice came from inside the half-hidden door: "Today is my birthday, I don't want to see you in my house, I thought you were a bit educated, but I didn't expect such a day You also have the face to come over, you want to make me unhappy, so that I can't have a good birthday, don't you?"
"No, auntie..."
"Don't call me auntie! You are not worthy! I hate homosexuality like you the most. People like you should be damned. My son will go the normal way, get married and have children! If you are sensible, stop seducing my son! Otherwise , even if my son protects you, I still have plenty of means to trick you!"
The other voice stopped talking, and Su Fu was outside the door, listening to it with a bit of worry, as if he had seen his previous life in the He family, depressed and helpless. He also recognized another voice inside, it was Liu An, so this woman was Mrs. Li.
Liu An didn't speak any more, but Mrs. Li didn't give up, and said sharply: "Now! Immediately! Immediately! Get out of here! I won't allow you to appear in our house!"
"I'm sorry for making my aunt unhappy, but Li Chao and I really love each other, and I won't let go."
Just when Su Fu felt that Liu An was very brave and was happy for his determination, he heard a chaotic sound inside, as if something had fallen. Surprised, Su Fu opened the door and wanted to go in, but someone was faster than him and kicked open the door of the lounge.
This kick was so strong that it almost knocked down the door of the lounge.
Su Fu saw that Li Chao had come over at some point, and walked in angrily. The lounge, which was supposed to be clean inside, was in a mess, a vase was broken on the ground, Liu An sat down not far from the vase, and a chair was overturned beside the vase. Madam Li was probably so angry that she threw a vase at him, and Liu An accidentally knocked over the chair when she was dodging.
As soon as Li Chao entered, he walked to Liu An first, pulled him up, repeatedly confirmed that he was not injured, and then hugged him in his arms and heaved a sigh of relief. Liu An probably didn't expect Mrs. Li to be so ruthless, she was a little stunned in fright, and shivered slightly while hiding in Li Chao's arms.
"You don't want to celebrate this birthday, do you?" Li Chao hugged Liu An to comfort him, while looking at Mrs. Li, his eyes were terribly sharp.
Seeing Li Chao's ferocious expression, Su Fu realized that the temper tantrums when they met before were nothing but pediatrics, and this was the real temper tantrum.
Mrs. Li also looked at him fiercely, and said angrily: "You don't want me to celebrate! My birthday! Did you bring this vixen into your house on purpose to embarrass me?!"
Li Chao lightly patted Liu An on the back, then kicked the sofa over, and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you talking about?! Say it again and I'll listen!"
Mrs. Li knew how terrible it would be for the eldest son to lose his temper, so she took a step back in fright with his kick, her face pale.
"Liu An came here because of Dad's intention. In order not to make you unhappy, he has already secretly hid in the lounge and did not show up. What else do you want?"
As soon as she heard that it was Master Li's intention, Madam Li stopped talking and just stared at Liu An with a terrible hatred in her eyes.
After being silent for a long time, Mrs. Li took a deep breath, let it out, and returned to her dignified appearance.
"If that's the case, then stay here and don't come out to block my eyes." After Youyou finished speaking, Mrs. Li went out dignifiedly like a noble lady should. She didn't even glance at Su Fu at the door. .
Su Fu felt that Mrs. Li's change was terrible, turned her head and saw Mrs. Li came downstairs to greet the guests with a beautiful and soft smile.
While Su Fu was panicking, the fierce anger in the lounge still persisted, and he kicked the other sofa over. Su Fu felt even more terrified, he only now believed what Tang Sibo said, that Li Chao would really demolish the house if he lost his temper...
"Don't! Don't get angry!" Liu An was frightened by Mrs. Li just now, and now she is frightened by Li Chao's terrible anger. irritable.
Sure enough, Li Chao calmed down gradually, put his arms around Liu An, kissed his cheek tenderly, and said in a stiff and soft voice: "Don't be afraid, I won't get angry, I'm fine."
"Yeah." Liu An responded in a low voice, buried his face in Li Chao's arms, and patted Li Chao's back with his hands, as if to appease his temper.
Su Fu stood at the door, still in shock, Mrs. Li was too cruel, even He's mother was just talking poisonously, Mrs. Li did it directly, and threatened that even if Li Chaohu was protecting her, she would have a way to get Liu An!
Sure enough, the rich water is too deep, too scary. Su Fu turned his head again, looked at Tang's mother downstairs who was holding a scroll and chatting with a group of ladies, and rejoiced how lucky he was to meet such an easy-to-get-together Tang family.
