Coming-of-age ceremony is a term reserved only for well-off families and above.
For an ordinary family like Su Hao who just had enough food and clothing, no one had time to hold any adult ceremony. I vaguely remember that on his 18th birthday, his mother added an extra egg to his bowl...
That's all.
But just such an egg kept him warm all day long, and made him feel warm every time he thought about it. Your 18th birthday, no matter how you celebrate it, is an important day.
Therefore, he must go to Chen Yiran’s coming-of-age ceremony!
For a day, Su Hao appeared and disappeared, and he didn't know what he was preparing. Even when Su Ling asked curiously, Su Hao kicked him out angrily.
It was not until the afternoon that Su Hao came back feeling a little tired.
"Hey, brother, what's wrong with you?"
When Su Ling saw her brother coming back, she hurried over to support him and frowned, "The source energy is consumed so much, brother, what did you do?"
"It's okay." Su Hao smiled, "I'll change my clothes and leave."
"don't want!"
Su Ling pressed him down on the sofa, puffed out her chest, and said forcefully: "Sit down for me!"
Su Hao was speechless.
Su Ling asked Su Hao to sit down, and then gently rubbed his shoulders with her small hands, "Brother, take a rest. You are going to Sister Yiran's coming-of-age ceremony later. You don't want her to see you like this."
"Well."
Su Hao closed his eyes and fell asleep.
He has already prepared what should be prepared. Tonight is destined to be a feast...
"boom!"
A flash of lightning in the sky lit up the entire night sky of Jianghe City.
I don’t know why, but today’s weather seems a little different.
Chen family, garden villa.
Countless people flowed in, and more than half of the wealthy people in Jianghe City gathered here. I don’t know how many people were trying to squeeze in here.
Not just because it's Chen Yiran, in fact, 90% of the people here don't know this eldest lady of the Chen family. To them, this place is a gorgeous gathering of friends.
Enemies, friends, allies, basically all the information you want.
It was nearly eight o'clock and the party had started early. The red wine is sloshing around, elegant and indifferent, everyone here behaves in an extraordinary manner, showing their grace and elegance. Talking together in twos and threes, or occasionally laughing lightly, speaking elegantly. Whether it's due to temperament or just pretending, this is the appearance of Jianghe City's upper class.
At eight o'clock sharp, the noise gradually disappeared. Everyone looked up and saw a girl slowly walking down the second floor on the corner stairs of the hall. Wearing a white dress, the delicate lace highlights her white legs, which are slender and straight, and the exquisite curves are completely outlined.
"hiss-"
Everyone took a breath of air. Chen Yiran was used to being simple on weekdays. Unexpectedly, she dressed up a little today and looked like a goddess, stunning countless people!
With a faint smile, Chen Yiran glanced around, showing a hint of disappointment.
He... still hasn't come
With some sadness, Chen Haonian and his wife walked away from the stairs. Both of them were wearing formal clothes, and they were obviously very interested in their daughter's coming-of-age ceremony.
Noticing his daughter's expression, Chen Haonian breathed a sigh of relief.
Su Hao didn't come!
Very good!
In this kind of scene, if Su Hao comes in, he will cause a big mess. After all, although there are many rumors, almost everyone knows something about it. But, after all, it is under the table. Some things, if they get too big, will not be good for either person. And...he has more important things to do today!
"Haha, Lao Chen! I'm not too late."
A domineering voice came, and Sun Yaotian strode in from outside.
"of course not."
Chen Haonian smiled and said, "Without you, would I dare to start this banquet?"
"well said!"
Sun Batian smiled and said, "Let's get started. Everyone is here to attend Yiran's coming-of-age ceremony, and it's not your coming-of-age ceremony. We can't let everyone go hungry."
Everyone burst into laughter.
Chen Haonian had no choice but to say, "Since Chairman Sun has spoken, let's get started. As for my precious daughter, she was born in the era of Yuan Neng's turmoil, which made us and my husband worry a lot. Now that we are 18 years old, we have finally got our wish." Thank you for coming to bless me. If nothing else, I must eat and drink enough today!"
"Where there."
"You're too kind."
"Brother Chen, you can't say that." A fat man in his thirties or forties stood up and said dissatisfied, "Everyone came to attend the coming-of-age ceremony, but they came for the eldest lady. We wanted to prepare a gift for the eldest lady, but I traveled a lot. Since no one said anything, I, the fat man, will give my blessing to the eldest lady first."
As he spoke, the fat man took out a green jade box and handed it over.
Everyone looked interested.
Giving gifts before the banquet is an interesting part. Many companies in Jianghe City are all looking forward to cooperating with the Chen family. If the gifts they give can make Miss Chen like them, with a wave of Chen Haonian's hand, their company will be in the Chen family's lap. From then on, things went straight up.
For really big companies, what kind of gifts to give also means the size of the company. If you give too little, others will look down on you and say they have to cooperate with you.
For thousands of years in China, giving gifts is definitely a science.
Chen Haonian handed it to his daughter. Chen Yiran gently pushed open the jade box with a look of surprise in his eyes. It was a Tianxue Jade Ginseng, a top-quality medicinal material! Cultivated under the influence of source energy, after taking it, the quality of source energy in the body can be greatly improved, and it is worth tens of millions!
"Holy shit! Tianxue Jade Ginseng!"
"It's really true!"
"The fat man's attack was quite ruthless this time!"
While everyone was amazed, they were also distressed. Fatty, this guy, gave out such expensive gifts as soon as he appeared on the scene. Can they still give out those gifts
"good."
Seeing that his daughter was quite satisfied, Chen Haonian immediately smiled and said, "Fat man, it seems that business has been good recently."
"Hey, thanks to Brother Chen for taking care of me."
Fatty Hehe Yile understood in his heart that this relationship was established!
Seeing that the fat man was winning, everyone presented the gifts they had prepared, including various magical medicinal materials, cultivation techniques, accessories, etc., all delivered to Chen Yiran. However, except for the Tianxue Jade Ginseng at the beginning, Chen Yiran's expression never changed at all.
Yueying quietly appeared next to Chen Yiran, grabbed her little hand, and felt a chill. Only she understood best what Chen Yiran was feeling at this moment.
Just now, she went out for a walk and still didn't find Su Hao.
All we can say is that Su Hao... didn't come at all!
"Yue Ying." Chen Yiran said softly.
"don’t worry."
Yue Ying comforted, "If he is serious, he will definitely come."
"Is it?"
Chen Yiran pinched the corner of her clothes and looked at Yue Ying with amusement. This young lady who never dressed up stayed in the room for three hours today, learning how to put on makeup and dress up with her, just to let Su Hao take a look.
It’s just a pity…
Yueying sighed secretly in her heart.
Soon, everyone's birthday gifts were delivered.
In addition to the Sun family, the four major family businesses in Jianghe City, the Zhou family and the Yue family also gave their own heavy gifts, which made everyone marvel. However, everyone knew that the focus this time was the Sun family!
The Sun family and the Chen family have a close relationship, and even Chen Yiran and Sun Yaotian have a contractual relationship. However, it was recently rumored that there was a rift between the two families because of the existence of a young boy. When gods fight, little devils suffer. If two families fight against each other, the cannon fodder will definitely be the unlucky ones in the end.
Fortunately, now it seems that it is just a rumor.
I didn’t see the scene. Is it only the Sun family that didn’t give gifts
Regardless of whether that person exists or not, the fact that he did not show up on such an important occasion means that he has been eliminated!
"Only the Sun family is left."
"Yeah... I'm just telling you, how could the eldest lady of the Chen family like a common student?"
"Yes, I remember that that boy seems to be Su Hao, who is number one in the Natural Selection Class. However, now it seems that it is just a rumor. Although that Su Hao has good grades, he is still far away from the Chen family."
"If the rumors are true, then this Su Hao is even more serious. What's the use of someone who doesn't show up on such an important occasion and just hides?"
"I also heard that a student with a slim future, the eldest lady of the Chen family, can someone like him get involved?"
Everyone was whispering and discussing in a low voice, while all looking at the Sun family.
The last gift given by the Sun family should be ready for the finale. It must be a big gift. However, Chen Yiran cannot be tempted by a gift worth tens of millions. What does the Sun family want to give
Everyone is looking forward to it!
Chen Yiran's face turned pale, and she held Yueying's hand tightly with her right hand, "He... didn't come."
"Maybe there are so many people here because of your reputation." Yueying comforted.
"I know."
Chen Yiran sighed, "I'm just a little sad."
More than a little sad!
Yueying looked at her expression and smiled bitterly, then quickly changed the subject, "What do you think the Sun family will give you?"
"Not interested in."
Chen Yiran shook his head.
Yue Ying smiled softly, "That's not necessarily the case. Look, the young master of the Sun family is very satisfied at this time. Maybe he will give you a surprise."
"he?"
Chen Yiran said disdainfully, "After so many years, I still don't know about him? He is a man of wealth but everything is ruined! He is a complete prodigal. Even if he has anything expensive, it must have been prepared by his family."
Yueying shook her head, "Maybe, Nuo, he's here."
Under the gaze of everyone, Sun Yaotian walked up to Chen Yiran with a smile on his face, "Yiran, happy birthday."
Chen Yiran frowned and said nothing.
Sun Yaotian didn't mind at all and said affectionately, "Yiran, I have been chasing you for so many years, and I admit that I used to be a jerk for a long time. But, for you, I am willing to make changes. In order to give you a gift , I started preparing a month ago, and now, I’m finally ready. I don’t ask for expensiveness, but I ask you to show your smile.”
"Wow! So touching!"
"Yeah, so romantic!"
Many girls looked at Sun Yaotian like a nymphomaniac, and even Yueying was a little surprised. Did this guy really prepare some earth-shattering gift
"This is the gift I want to give."
Sun Yaotian smiled calmly and pointed to the door. Everyone was startled. They looked up and saw a slender and elegant figure slowly walking in from the door.
Chen Yiran looked at this figure in shock, with a look of surprise in his eyes.
No matter what, she never imagined that Sun Yaotian's so-called gift turned out to be...
