Another meeting of the Su family was arranged on a Thursday night.
Not Saturday, not Sunday, but a somewhat odd Thursday.
I heard that the eldest of the four brothers of the Su family, Su Gan, is Su Zimo's father, and Su Qian has been in a state of inexplicable excitement since preparing for the banquet. Facing the second and third children, they were also excited to see their relatives reunited after a long absence.
This made Su Duan and Su Kun uncomfortable, and went around Su Gan wherever they went.
Especially when Su Zimo appeared at the dining table with a small packaged box, Su Qian's emotions rose to the top, standing there staring at Su Zimo excitedly.
Su Zimo, who has been staring at him all the time, is a little helpless. Although he and Su Gan are not close, he still hasn't forgotten that today is his father's birthday.
Su Qian seemed a little embarrassed to remind others about this, so he secretly set the party time for his birthday, secretly hoping that more people would remember his birthday.
Su Zimo sighed silently, having a father like a child is really a headache.
"A lot of people have given me gifts recently." As soon as he sat down, Su Gan shared with everyone with a smile on his face, "Especially my few caring little daughters, all of them send gifts from other cities, as if they were with their mother. Xiao Yiyi in Jiangdu specially sent her own daily scented tea, the packaging and a small card every day are really cute."
"Boss, is it really okay to show your illegitimate daughters in front of your son?" Su Kun still had a gloomy expression on his face, and the very unstable "Bad Ghost Ring 003" was still well worn on the wrist. on his hand.
"Bastard daughter?" Su Qian shook his head strangely, "Don't slander me in front of my family Momo, they are just my daughters, not my illegitimate daughters."
"It's not the child born by you and a woman outside!" Su Duan, who has always been impatient, got a headache when he heard Su Gan's circle, so he roared directly.
"It's a goddaughter! Didn't I explain it many times?!" Su Gan also began to stare at Su Duan, "I've said it many times, but I just think the little girls are cute, so I just take care of them as daughters."
"You said it, but with your character, who would believe it..." Su Kun held his chin on the ring in his hand, and his tone was a little contemptuous, "Who doesn't know that the boss of the Su family is merciful, leaving a few daughters is also expected middle."
However, Su Zimo was a little surprised to hear it. Maybe it was because he and Su Gan didn't have a relationship since he was a child. He finally grew up and suffered disasters. He had never heard Su Gan say that those daughters were not related to him by blood. matter.
"I only have Momo for Su Gan's flesh and blood." Su Qian's expression was suddenly serious, and his usual frivolous moustache seemed to be stained with some seriousness now, "This is what I promised the mother of the child, and it is also I made a promise to myself."
"It's a happy thing to be able to find a confidante, but I also have a bottom line." Su Qian coughed twice, "At least after meeting the child's mother, I have a bottom line."
"Master Gan has been very measured in recent years." It was Su Hewen who was forced to stay by Su Qian for dinner today. Su Hewen originally didn't want to participate in the Su family banquet, but he knew that today was his adoptive father's birthday, so he hesitated and stayed.
"My name is Dad." Su Gan reluctantly looked at the stubborn Su Hewen
"It's just that what you do is easy to be misunderstood." Su Hewen ignored Su Gan's demands, but looked at Su Zimo and explained it.
When talking about the boss of the Su family, most people stopped what they were doing. Although some of the people present didn't like Su Hewen, they also had to admit that Su Hewen never lied, and they were often able to learn things they didn't know before from what he said.
"Brother, what's going on?" Noticing Su Hewen's gaze, Su Zimo knew that what he said was for himself.
Could it be that the daughters and casual women they kept talking about had nothing to do with the Su family
"Master Gan likes to make friends with people, but because of various reasons, the people who will take the initiative to interact with Master Gan are women with special purposes. They have tried every means to deepen their relationship with the former master, but For some reason... even if Master Gan is really drunk or stunned, it is impossible for him to be recruited, and naturally he will not leave any illegitimate children." Su Hewen explained, but did not explain the "certain reasons". what is the reason.
"It's not the child's mother's fault." Su Gan whispered with some grievance, "It's not that I can't control myself."
"After all, there is no way to prevent it." No matter what Su Zimo's mother did to Su Gan, Su Hewen seemed to agree, "But even if he knew that he didn't succeed, those women still appeared one after another outside Su's house, through the media of public opinion. Various methods such as claiming that he and Mr. Gan spent a night of unconsciousness together, and claiming that he was pregnant with the blood of the Su family."
"That time was really exciting." Su Duan can still show a lively expression when he thinks about it.
"Most of the women who came to the door claimed that they were pregnant with the young master of the Su family, but later, according to the investigation and evidence collection, they either applied for IVF through secret channels to ensure the birth of a son, or they did not know where the unrelated blood came from. After hearing that we were going to verify, I hurriedly wanted to extort the money and leave."
"But there are a few women who look very much like madams, and Ming Yan is pregnant with a daughter, hoping to get help from Master Gan. When Master Gan was soft-hearted, he helped settle these orphans and widows, and claimed to be the godfather of those girls. ." Su Hewen explained the whole thing clearly.
But after the conversation changed, Su Hewen frowned again and said, "But it's not easy to find women who come to your door. The godfather thinks he is the godfather of the girls, but those newspapers and media don't see it that way, even... even in a few In the eyes of the now grown-up goddaughter, the godfather is probably the father they can't recognize."
"No, every time I see them, they call me godfather, and they know this very well." Su Gan shook his head, "Their mother and I are also friends, all of them are knowledgeable and sensible. ."
"As for those newspapers and media, it doesn't matter. Anyway, my Su Gan's reputation has never been better." Su Qian said, and sighed again, "They are also helpless and pitiful. If they are misunderstood by the outside world, they can Make their lives easier, my reputation is bad, it won't affect anything anyway."
"Because you haven't explained it clearly, some misunderstandings have gotten deeper and deeper, and may even be distorted in the end." Su Hewen also began to eat silently.
"So... those women really have nothing to do with you? Those daughters aren't your own?" The fourth child, Su Ni, even showed a very surprised expression when he arrived, "You never told me."
"..." Su Qian was at a loss for words, and felt that he really seemed to take it for granted, "Anyway, apart from the child's mother, I can't be close to anyone else, and apart from Momo, I can't have other bloodlines, this is inevitable what!"
"Unbelievable." Su Zimo's fourth aunt, Rachel, who rarely attended the family banquet, was also surprised.
"It's really unbelievable." Su Duan also sighed for a while, "You have been secretly attacked so many times, but they have never succeeded? Do you have any secrets that you can't do? It's for the sake of your brother. a bit?"
"Fuck you, it's a brother who shouldn't forget what day it is today." Su Gan snorted coldly and turned his head away.
"Butler Mu, I'm in trouble." Su Zimo called out to Mu Feng, who was waiting on the side. After a while, Mu Feng and Ye Ning approached the table with a double-layered cake.
The portion of the cake is not large, but it is enough for the whole family to enjoy, and it is the chef Qin Yange who made the cake for the first time. After hearing Su Zimo talk about his father's birthday, Mr. Fang, who doesn't recognize his old age, must retreat to study the best cake. Although he gave up the idea under Su Zimo's persuasion, he still gave the task to him. his favorite disciple.
This makes the original Western-style cake, although it looks like a model on the outside, but the inner mold is replaced by a variety of sweet Chinese-style cakes, which can be cut into various patterns, which can be regarded as a combination of Chinese and Western.
It's just that no matter how delicious the cake is, the only people who can feel the atmosphere of the birthday party are Su Zimo's family and Su Ni's family. , was picked up by the fourth uncle again.
The second uncle and the third uncle are still the only two of them to go to the banquet, sitting face to face at the periphery of the dining table, watching the eldest and the fourth family celebrate their birthdays enthusiastically. Don't know what to think.
"Haha." Su Kun even sneered twice inexplicably.
Su Zimo still has mixed feelings about Su Gan. Although he absolutely believes what Su Hewen said, those words also overturned many of the things in Su Zimo's mind, making Su Zimo's impression of Su Gan and even his deceased mother. It all started to get blurry.
It was as if people who were familiar before suddenly started to become strange a little bit.
"Happy birthday." Even so, Su Zimo gave the prepared gift to Su Gan.
It was a very ordinary-looking black gift box, the size of a book, with a royal blue ribbon tied on the outside. Su Qian took Su Zimo's gift with some excitement, and found that the gift box was very light and light, as if there was nothing in it.
Su Gan didn't like to celebrate birthdays at home before. He always felt that birthday parties were something that old men and children liked, so he never accepted Su Zimo's birthday present in person. Only in the corner did he find the greeting card that Xiao Su Zimo had drawn for him.
But since Su Zimo "came back", Su Gan suddenly felt as if he had instantly become an old man who liked birthday parties, and cherished the gift Su Zimo gave him in person. Even if it was really just an empty box, Su Gan would I will make it a treasure along with the greeting cards my son has given since he was a child.
"Wait back to the room at night to call..."
Before Su Zimo's words were finished, Su Gan opened the box at a speed that could not be stopped.
In the box is a flower that has been picked, with layers of white double petals, which are particularly conspicuous in the black box. The large flower bone leaves only a short stem, and it does not look like it can be inserted into a vase. look.
This is the first longevity flower that blooms in "an corner".
Able to add a year to the lifespan of people outside the store.
"Hahahaha, it's really a very novel gift. It is indeed a piece of mind of the Su family. What is this? Lily? Hahahaha." After seeing the flowers in the box, Su Duan next to him couldn't stop laughing. .
Su Kun also sneered, and then covered the corners of his mouth by drinking tea.
"My son gave me the one that I like the most. What's your opinion?" Su Qian scolded him back with his eyes wide open.
But at this time, the wine glass that Su Hewen was holding in his hand unexpectedly slammed off his hands and fell on the dining table. The glass was not broken, but the wine was completely spilled.
When the maid next to him stepped forward to clean up, Su Hewen still had an indescribable expression on his face, which seemed to be a shock that had never appeared on Su Hewen's face.
"Why do you have such a flower?" Su Hewen looked at Su Zimo in disbelief, "That's... that's..."
"Brother, what's wrong?" Su Zimo was also a little strange.
"No, it's nothing." Su Hewen covered his eyes and calmed down for a while, "I think it's pretty, and the master must keep it well."
Su Gan didn't think much of it at first, but after seeing Su Hewen's performance, the expression on Shouhua in the box became strange, and he even wanted to reach out to touch it.
"Wait back to the room and take it out." Su Zimo immediately stopped this time, lest Shouhua disappear in front of everyone's eyes.
"Oh, oh oh." Because Su Hewen, who was beside him, also got up to stop him, Su Gan quickly closed the box and put it aside.
"It's a mystery." Su Kun seemed to be unaccustomed to that kind of picture of harmony.
The fourth uncle Su Ni's family also prepared precious gifts, but Su Gan may have been influenced by Su Hewen's gaffe just now, and he always keeps his eyes on the somewhat mysterious black box from time to time.
"It's really good to have such a caring son who can still be the head of the family."
Halfway through the banquet, the third uncle Su Kun put his hands on the table, one hand rubbed the "inferior Specter Ring 003" on the other hand, his eyes gradually gloomy.
Most of the people present were used to Su Kun's strange yin and yang, but only Su Zimo found something wrong.
As Su Kun kept turning the ring back and forth, a faint black mist emerged from the ring, and then there was a carbon black body on Su Kun's shoulder... Baby? !
The baby squatted on Su Kun's shoulder, sucked the black mist from the ring for a while, then slowly climbed down from Su Kun's shoulder, and sat down to Su Zimo along the edge of the long dining table. Climb over where you are!
During the whole process, Su Kun kept his eyes fixed, as if he hadn't even seen the dark baby!
Su Zimo didn't have any tools at hand, the black umbrella and mobile phone were on the coffee table in the lounge next to him, but after feeling that the baby's target was him, Su Zimo didn't have time to hide anything, so he just shouted—
"Ghost umbrella!"
In other words, since the other party has already acted openly, Su Zimo naturally does not need to be sneaky.
