Mrs. Li's birthday is very grand, although it is not a full birthday. However, Mrs. Li didn't know what was going on this year, so she had to do something special.
She is the wife of the Li family, even if the birthday is no more grandiose. Li Chengyan didn't care about her either, but it was just an extra sum of money, so he left it to her to toss as he pleased.
Mrs. Li underwent the entire hotel and arranged various entertainment activities. All Li Jiafan could come to attend, and those who were far away specially arranged things to come over. Therefore, as Mrs. Li's son, Li Chengyan was naturally the central figure of the entire banquet, so he had to come early in advance.
Mrs. Li greeted the guests with a red face and jewels.
Li Chengyan came over with a gift, and Mrs. Li greeted him with a smile on her face. Just seeing Qiao Ning next to Li Chengyan, Mrs. Li's expression immediately changed.
"Why did you bring her here?" Mrs. Li asked in a low voice and angrily.
Her face couldn't help but twitched, and she felt the pain of scratching on her face.
"She is very sorry for her previous behavior, so she came to apologize to you." Li Chengyan pulled Qiao Ning over and asked her to offer her own gift.
Qiao Ning really smiled softly, and Mrs. Chongli smiled calmly and said: "Auntie, I was really sorry before, but I was too impulsive and ignorant. Don't be familiar with me. This little gift is not a suggestion. Please accept it."
Mrs. Li glanced at it and saw a string of English letters printed on it. She knows this brand of jewelry, which is quite expensive.
I didn't like Qiao Ning at first, but I had to bear it for the sake of seeing this set of jewelry. The smile couldn't be squeezed out, so I could only respond with an "um".
Li Chengyan smiled and told Qiao Ning to go elsewhere, and accompanied Mrs. Li to greet the guests.
But Mrs. Li is the birthday star, there is no reason why she keeps greeting guests. Naturally, he sits on the main seat, and then accepts other people to come to pray for birthday.
"Go, call Ye Ziqing and ask her to come over to the birthday banquet." With a big smile on her face, Mrs. Li took the time to whisper to the housekeeper.
The butler glanced at Qiao Ning, nodded knowingly, and went to call quietly.
Mrs. Li didn't like Qiao Ning, and also didn't like Ye Ziqing. So originally there was no plan for Qiao Ning to come, let alone invite Ye Ziqing to the scene.
Many media reporters came here today. Mrs. Li's plan is that only Li Chengyan will attend the birthday banquet as her son. As for the daughter-in-law, forget it. These people see Ye Ziqing's absence, and don't rack their brains to write when they return. I'm afraid the most speculation is that the prospective mother-in-law is not happy, the wealthy daughter-in-law's difficult and wealthy road.
But Mrs. Li didn't expect Qiao Ning to come and disrupt her plan.
However, Mrs. Li disliked Qiao Ning more than disliked Ye Ziqing. The hatred of that claw was not forgotten, Mrs. Li couldn't help gritting her teeth secretly, and when Ye Ziqing came, she wanted to see how the two little sluts were fighting.
"Miss Joe? Is it really you?"
Qiao Ning was eating something from the buffet with a small plate, and Mrs. Li was quite tossing. I heard from Midai that the good birthday banquets were originally held in the old house every year, and it was not a continuation of various grand occasions. This year, I have to be a maverick. I have to do it in a hotel, and I'm all acquaintances, so I have to get a buffet.
Li Chengyan didn't care about these things, but Midai had to help Zhang Luo arrange them. When I was tired and sore back, I complained to Qiao Ning, and then mysteriously guessed that Mrs. Li felt like she was trying to trap money like this.
For example, these meals may only cost one million, but he just asks Mr. Li for a budget of two million.
In the past, Mrs. Li spent almost the same amount of money on birthday banquets. This year, because of tricks, she reported twice as much. If the posture is the same as in previous years, it will definitely arouse Mr. Li's suspicion, and it will be too fascinating.
After Qiao Ning listened, thoughtfully, Midai told her that Mrs. Li was looking at the superficial scenery. However, since Mr. Li took complete control of the Li Group four years ago, the control of Mrs. Li has also been tightened.
In the past, Mrs. Li could come to the company to pay money at any time, but now she has no such power. The fixed pocket money every month, there is no more money. Mrs. Li came up with this idea to collect money with excuses, but Qiao Ning thought of more than this, which is why she has to come over today.
Hearing someone calling her, Qiaoning raised his head and looked at the source of the sound.
Li Yunxiang walked over quickly and said with a smile: "It's really you! I thought I was dazzled. Four years ago, you lost the news, but I didn't expect to be back now."
"It turned out to be you, I came back early, don't you know?" Qiao Ning said indifferently.
Compared with four years ago, Li Yunxiang is more mature and stable. Although not as handsome as Li Chengyan, he is a very handsome and attractive person.
In fact, Qiaoning had a good impression of him. He had helped himself several times before.
But because she likes Zhong Qing's girl, it is always easy to do some stupid things that she hates. Without Zhong Qing, she would still like to chat with him.
Li Yunxiang smiled and said, "I have already gone out to develop and left three years ago. I have just returned to Fengcheng in these two days, so I really don't know about you."
"You went out for development? Why." Qiao Ning remembered that his father was Li Chengyan's capable subordinate, right-hand man.
Li Yunxiang laughed and said embarrassingly: "My father offended my uncle and was sent out directly. I had to go out with him, but fortunately, my uncle did not forget us. We have developed quite well outside the past two years. I haven't come back for three years. Taking advantage of my wife's birthday this time, my uncle specially allowed me to come back and have a look."
"Huh?" Qiao Ning was surprised.
But I quickly thought that it might be because of four years ago. Hearing that Yan Su wanted to seize power, Mrs. Li was also ready to move. Several members of the Li family were bought by Yan Su, but they were all taken care of by Li Chengyan, completely eliminating the unruly people around him.
Presumably, Li Yunxiang's father was among them, so he was assigned to Li Chengyan.
"Then you and Zhong Qing..." Qiao Ning couldn't help but gossip when thinking about Li Yunxiang and Zhong Qing.
As he was talking, he didn't expect Zhong Qing to come over, and first shouted Li Yunxiang. When he saw Qiao Ning after running over, his face changed immediately.
"Li Yunxiang, why are you with her?" Zhong Qing asked unhappy.
Li Yunxiang hurriedly said flatteringly: "This is not an encounter, just say a few words."
Qiao Ning rolled her eyes in her heart, thinking that she was really a dumb-hat man, and she became dumb as soon as she saw Zhong Qing.
But the last time Zhong Qing helped her, she didn't forget, and she didn't ridicule Zhong Qing. Said to the two of them, and then left here with the plate.
