It was the end of August, which happened to be Xu Qing'an's birthday.
On this day in previous years, Xu's father and his mother would help him hold a birthday party.
Usually, we hold it at home, or the whole family goes to a nearby restaurant to have a good meal. When we hold a birthday party, we only invite classmates and relatives we know. This is the first time we have such a big party like today.
In addition to college classmates, there are also Xu's father's business partners.
Although Xu Qingan didn't understand, he liked the excitement of being blessed by a group of people, so he didn't care. And he heard that Xu Qingran, the time bomb, had graduated, so they were very careful about the birthday party this time, not wanting him to come and mess up after knowing it.
Xu Qingan still remembers that Xu Qingran threatened at the graduation banquet that he would come to ruin every banquet related to him in the future. Regardless of whether he was just talking or really meant it, Xu Qingan didn't want to cause any more trouble.
He stood in front of the mirror in the lounge, looking at the silver-gray haute couture suit with satisfaction.
While looking at it, he said to Lu Cheng, who was sitting on the sofa with his back to him, "G's clothes are really exquisite. How about we also ask them to customize our wedding dresses?"
"Either is fine." Lu Cheng replied without turning his head, looking down at his phone.
Xu Qing'an adjusted his bow tie, turned around and walked over to hug him from behind, but before he did so, he saw the interface on his phone, which was news related to Xu Qingran.
The video recorded his fight with foreigners in the academy, and Lu Cheng repeatedly pulled the progress bar to watch it, with full appreciation in his eyes. Although it was just a look of admiration from a colleague, Xu Qing'an still felt uncomfortable.
He still remembers that Xu Qingran and Lu Cheng have a 99% match made in heaven and are destined to be attracted to each other.
Xu Qing'an was in a trance again.
Since when did everyone around him start to look towards Xu Qingran?
Even at daily family dinners, the elders would ask Xu Yan about Xu Qingran. Whether it was praise or rebuke, his name would haunt him. Even the students in the medical school liked to eat gossip about Xu Qingran the most.
As they ate, the voices turned into praises when they mentioned him again.
And what about him?
He should have been the most popular child of the Xu family, a successful person who had been admitted to a medical school and became a disciple of Lu Wennian. But compared with Xu Qingran, his current achievements seemed to be nothing, and no one even wanted to mention them.
Why?
Just because Xu Qingran likes to go crazy? What's so lovable about someone who is so violent and moody?!
Lu Cheng noticed his gaze and subconsciously wanted to exit the mobile page.
But before taking action, he felt that doing so would only make things more obvious. He was originally just admiring and studying Xu Qingran's fighting skills, so there was no need to be open and honest and have no need to feel guilty.
Just as I was thinking whether Xu Qing'an would be unhappy about this, I heard him chuckle and say, "Brother is really amazing now."
"Seeing that he can live well on his own, I feel relieved."
Lu Cheng paused and sighed, "Indeed."
After saying that, he locked the screen of his phone, stood up and said, "Let's go, we should go to the banquet hall."
After taking a few steps, Xu Qing'an suddenly hugged him from behind.
The voice was muffled: "Lu Cheng, do you think that I am not as good as my brother now, so you despise me?"
"No, don't think too much about it." Lu Cheng comforted.
He is a man with a strong sense of responsibility.
It is undeniable that he had regrets and hesitations during this period. But Shen Tingyu was right at the time. Since he had made a choice, he had to be responsible to Xu Qing'an to the end and could not be so indecisive.
The only thing he was unwilling to accept was that the childhood sweetheart whom he had watched grow up was very likely to be taken away by the Shen family.
Lu Cheng was thinking about this matter in his heart and didn't notice Xu Qing'an's actions. He was caught off guard by the person who came up to him and hugged his neck and kissed him.
He raised his hand slightly, but finally did not refuse to give his 'fiancée' a sense of security.
My mood is slightly wandering.
Forget it, as long as that person is not Shen Tingyu.
As they are uncle and nephew, even if Shen Tingyu has no bottom line, he should not do something like forcibly taking his niece's wife.
·
Xu Qing'an's birthday party began shortly after he and Lu Cheng entered.
The door opened, and several waiters slowly pushed in a seven-layer cake that Xu Yan had specially ordered for him. In order to fit the design theme of the cake, they all wore cute animal masks on their faces.
There aren't many people invited to the banquet today, and a small number of them are business partners of Xu's father.
Holding a birthday party is fake, the real thing is that he has to find a way to hold on to these customers and partners.
Over the past six months, the development of Xu Group has not been very good.
First, the projects that their main construction group took over frequently encountered problems. Not only did the orders fail, but they also had to pay for the mistakes in the projects. They wanted to bid for the projects, but it was as if the bottom price was betrayed by an insider. They were always just a little bit behind their competitors, but they couldn't find the spy.
Then came other operations. Some dealers suddenly became unwilling to cooperate, some advertising endorsements also went crazy, and there were big problems with capital turnover.
The Xu family and its branches have been under great pressure recently, and they are even unwilling to attend today's banquet. If this continues, the companies under his control may fall into the same crisis as before!
And now there is no other Qi family that can support him in making a comeback. Xu Qing'an's mother does not have a strong background and is now embroiled in lawsuits and is about to be sent to the evil tower for confinement. There is no one who can help him at all.
The people invited today were all the connections that were won over by taking over the Qi family's industries, and they were old customers of those industries. Fortunately, the Qi family's assets had not caused any major problems for the time being, so these bosses did not know about the Xu family's situation yet.
He had to take the opportunity to consolidate his position. It would be best if he could get a few big orders and use the money to fill the gaps in the Xu Group.
"Hey Old Xu, it's your son's birthday today. Why do you look so sad?"
"That's right, Mr. Xu, come on, let's have a drink first, and then we'll make Mr. Mo drink when he gets here!"
"Hahaha, Lao Li you are so brave, that's Mr. Mo!"
"Ahem, just kidding."
Xu Yan forced a smile, suppressed his worries and raised his glass to socialize.
When drinking, I use the cup to block my sad eyes.
Xu Qingran... It would be great if Xu Qingran was willing to give up the inheritance.
Xu Yan was struggling internally.
He knew that Xu Qingran would definitely not agree to help him now, but he was just thinking, how great it would be if there was a way to legitimately take over the things Qi Shengxue left him.
While Mr. Xu was sitting at the main table worrying, the cake was pushed in front of Xu Qing'an by the waiter.
The tables closest to Xu Qing'an were filled with friends of similar age, and a group of community workers stood up to liven up the atmosphere and sang birthday songs for him. The elders invited by Xu's father were all on the other side, watching the young people having fun with a smile, and then toasting and talking about business in a friendly manner.
After the birthday song was finished, there was another round of cheers.
The waiter, wearing a long-eared rabbit mask and a neatly tied ponytail, shouted in a crisp voice: "Happy birthday to Mr. Xu Qing'an, the birthday boy of today's banquet hall!"
Then, together with other waiters, they fired fireworks towards Xu Qing'an's head.
"It's great, Qing'an, to have a father who loves you so much, and a fiancé who loves you so much!"
"She is good-looking and good at studying. She is the pride of our medical school!"
"Make a wish now!"
Xu Qing'an smiled sweetly, clasped his hands together, closed his eyes, made a silent wish, and then blew out the candles.
Then he took the knife from the waiter wearing a red fox mask beside him, and with Lu Cheng by his side, he cut the cake with a happy look on his face.
The atmosphere groups around started to make a fuss again.
Xu Qing'an was just about to make his official statement as the protagonist of the birthday party, but the waiter next to him pulled out a cream spray from somewhere and sprayed it in his face without any warning.
Not satisfied with just spraying it on his face, she also sprayed it on his neck and clothes.
I wish I could use up the whole bottle.
In the joyful little banquet hall, the noise suddenly stopped.
The guests who were originally laughing and clapping suddenly looked at each other in bewilderment, not knowing whether this was a planned program or an unexpected event. However, the guests who had attended Xu Qingan's graduation banquet suddenly felt familiar memories emerge.
Xu Qing'an wiped his face while yelling in a panic, but the more he wiped, the more messy his face became, and he couldn't even open his eyes.
Father Xu was startled and frightened, and immediately came to his senses and stood up.
Seeing this, Lu Cheng reacted quickly and grabbed the clean towel on the cake cart and carefully wiped Xu Qing'an's face.
While wiping the food, he angrily questioned the waiter: "I remember that Yuntianlou has always had a good reputation for service. Is this how you treat people celebrating birthdays? Is this a high-end restaurant or a low-end party venue?!"
Several waiters also looked flustered.
The leader wearing a rabbit mask was about to scold the ignorant waiter, but he saw the other party raise his hand and take off the red fox mask, revealing a well-behaved and beautiful angel face.
Then he smiled like an innocent little devil: "Ah, are you surprised or not?"
"It's my brother, my dear brother."
Everyone looked shocked.
The experienced guests had already stood up and prepared to leave.
Xu Qingran smiled with eyes curved, and said nonchalantly: "You are the same, too embarrassed to inform me of your birthday party."
"If I hadn't met you today, I would have almost missed this great day."
Xu Qing'an opened his eyes and found that the person who was making fun of him was Xu Qing, and he was stunned for five seconds.
He almost lost control of his mentality and yelled: "Xu Qingran! Why are you here?!"
Xu Qingran looked at him, the smile in his eyes gradually turned cold: "I said, I will definitely participate in every important banquet you have in the future."
If possible, Xu Qingran would have liked to press the back of Xu Qing'an's head and bury his head directly in the cake.
But think about it, the cake is not guilty of this. If it is soiled by a little trash like Xu Qingan, it will be wasted.
Xu Qing'an was frightened by the venomous coldness in those eyes. Only then did he truly realize how much trouble he had caused himself.
It shouldn't be like this. Xu Qingran is such a softie. Why did he become like this now? Why did he not care about face and reprimands and had to go against him to the end? !
When Xu's father saw Xu Qingran, his expression also changed.
Especially when he looked at her sideways, she felt even more uneasy. It was as if he came here just to mess with Xu Qingan, and the person he really wanted to mess with was her father.
Xu Yan was frightened by the sudden guess in his mind.
He came to the cake and for the first time did not glare at Xu Qingran and scold him. Instead, he put on the kind attitude that a father should have and said earnestly, "Qingran, Dad knows that I didn't fulfill my fatherly duties in the past. I neglected to care about you and didn't consider your feelings."
"You've made a scene before, and your aunt has already realized that she was wrong about your mother's matter, and is now accepting the punishment she deserves. An An is still young, and he was ignorant before. What should have happened has already happened, and the result cannot be changed. After all, we are a family, and you are living a good life now. Let's write off the old grudges in the family, shall we?"
After hearing this, Xu Qingran couldn't help but laugh.
It seems that the Xu family is really in trouble. Xu Yan, who has such a hot temper, is now willing to lower his posture.
"Write it all off?" His expression was as if he had heard a joke. "Will my mother come back to life after it's written off? Will all the suffering I've endured in the past disappear?"
Xu Yan was silent.
"When my mom was still alive, you always used work as an excuse for not coming home. Of course, you didn't care because you had a second real home outside. Later, when my mom died, you brought your mistress and your son into the family, and you always put them first in everything, and never asked about my likes and dislikes."
Xu Qingran described the original owner's past expressionlessly: "I respected you as a father, but you treated me as a stranger's child. You didn't ask me when I was sick, and you didn't care about my life. My boyfriend was taken away by someone, and you helped the other party to teach me a lesson and asked me to give in."
After hearing this, Lu Cheng lowered his eyes and retracted his fingers slightly.
"Even when I was captured and disappeared for a few days in South District 13, your first reaction when you saw me injured after returning was to scold me."
"You didn't try to find out the truth of the matter, nor did you care about what happened during the days I was missing. You were only concerned about protecting your other son's marriage."
The more Xu Qingran spoke, the colder his eyes became.
"So don't tell me about family." He said to Xu Yan in a ruthless tone, "Because your eldest son died a long time ago in the South 13th District of Red City."
In the small banquet hall, there was only dead silence after Xu Qingran's voice fell.
Although the guests knew that today's banquet might be cancelled again, their feet and buttocks were stuck to the chairs as if with super glue and they couldn't get up at all, wanting to continue enjoying the sequel of this rich man's melon.
Xu Yan's heart felt as if it was hit by a hammer, shaking.
I want to refute but I have nothing to say.
Scenes of Xu Qingran's personality when he was a child, which was completely different from now, flashed through his mind.
He didn't like this son, but his son had been trying his best to please him since he was young. Before Xu Qing'an and his mother entered the Xu family, his temper was not so bad. But later he thought that Xu Qing'an had taken away everything from him and could easily get his love, so he became very irritable and always had a bad face towards Xu Qing'an and his mother.
But if you are honest, until middle school, Xu Qingran was still trying very hard to develop a relationship with his father.
He was the one who kept refusing.
Xu Yan might have felt a little guilty for a moment, but he was more worried about his own interests and the interests of the Xu family. He could only persuade Xu Qingran: "No matter how much you care, the blood relationship between us cannot be severed!"
After hearing this, Xu Qingran grabbed the cake-cutting knife on the cart and put it on his arm, gesturing: "Blood relationship, right? I can drain the blood from my body right now and go to the hospital to get someone else's blood. Does that mean I have nothing to do with you guys?"
Although this was an absurd statement, everyone knew that Xu Qingran was just expressing his determination to sever ties with the Xu family.
Then Xu Qingran said slowly, "Besides, are you sure that what you care about is our blood relationship, not the huge inheritance I carry?"
Father Xu, whose heart was touched, looked up suddenly and tried to remain calm: "Qingran, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"Dad is busy taking care of the Xu family's assets, so why would he covet the things your mom left for you..."
"Really?" Xu Qingran asked back.
"But I heard from the grapevine that Xu's Group is not doing well these days, and the funds of the industries under the group are almost out of turnover?"
Xu Yan was horrified when he heard this.
Xu Qingran curled the corners of his mouth at him and smiled coldly.
Of course, Father Xu was shocked, because he had never told Xu Qingran about this, so how could the latter know?
Could it be that the frequent incidents that happened to the Xu family over the past six months were all related to him? !
Impossible. Even if Xu Qingran had such an idea, what means could he use to do it? Did he use the Shen family? No, the Shen family mainly focused on military affairs and arms research. Even if they had a place in business, it was only in the Golden Wing Camp. They did not have that much say across camps.
While Xu Yan was thinking anxiously, the bosses and friends he invited began to talk in whispers.
The gazes that fell on him were more inquiring.
Xu Qing'an on the other side was also surprised.
As Xu's father's child, he knew Xu best. From his slightly strange expression and reaction, he knew that what Xu Qingran said was most likely true. But why had he never heard Xu Yan mention it?
"The Xu family should have a lot of holes to fill now." Xu Qingran said to himself, "Then those who want to cooperate with you during this period must think carefully and evaluate first."
When Xu Yan heard him say that, he could no longer hold back his image as a good father, and said angrily with a red neck: "Xu Qingran, don't go too far!"
These words were clearly meant for the bosses he wanted to collaborate with!
"It's okay." Xu Qingran shook his shoulders. "Compared to what you did to me and my mother before, it's already very mild."
Xu Qingran remembered something: "Speaking of my mom, I heard that you moved into my mom's big villa in Bishui Villa with your mistress and his son a few months ago? If I remember correctly, it seems to be one of the properties she left for me."
"Did you ask for my consent before you moved in?"
He had heard Qi Heqian complaining about this matter to him when he was still in the military academy and got his cell phone for two days.
That was one of the dowries that the Qi family gave to Qi Shengxue. The villas in it were very large, and the houses alone were several thousand square meters. The environment was beautiful, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and located in a high place. The number of villas in the villa was very limited, and you didn't necessarily have to have money to buy one.
Xu Yan felt guilty again after hearing this and could only explain with a red face: "Isn't this because our old house in Hongcheng is now seriously invaded by Type IV demons, which greatly affects the convenience of entering and exiting. Is there no choice but to move there first?" Although Type IV is the type of demon with the lowest lethality, it does not mean that there are none at all.
After Red City was invaded by these Type IVs, the Andromeda officials began to control people's entry and exit at night, and no one was allowed to go out at night.
Xu Yan always felt uneasy when staying with these little devils, and then he remembered that this place he had his eyes on for a long time was in a safe area, so he secretly moved in when Xu Qingran was away, but he didn't expect that he would still find out.
Xu Qingran replied: "What does it have to do with me if you are not comfortable living in your hometown?"
"I'll give you three days to move out of that place."
Father Xu should have a few houses under his control, so he would not be without a place to go. He just wants to stay there on purpose.
Xu Yan was also shameless: "You are not yet 22 years old. All of your mother's assets are currently managed by me. What's wrong with me moving in?"
Xu Qingran replied: "Nothing, if you don't want to move, I will have to come and evict you myself."
"you-"
Father Xu was so angry that his heart ached and he was about to yell when another voice suddenly came from the banquet hall, interrupting their conversation.
"Young man, we are all family members, so there is no need to be so extreme."
Xu Qingran turned around when he heard the voice, wanting to see which living Bodhisattva was trying to persuade him to be generous.
The man who came in was a middle-aged man who looked to be about 40 years old, with some graying hair on his temples. He was very tall, estimated to be over 1.9 meters tall, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, leaning on a cane, with a serious and noble expression.
It was an old guy I didn't recognize.
"Ah, Mr. Mo is here!"
Someone at the boss's desk next to them let out a low cry of surprise.
Xu Qingran thought, he seemed to be a big shot.
But what does this have to do with him?
He blatantly glanced at the visitor, raised his eyebrows and chuckled: "This uncle really has no pain in his waist when he is talking while standing?"
"You don't look like you're short of money. Since you're so generous, why don't you buy another one for my dad and his family after I take the villa away?"
Xu Qingran said, "Oh, it has to be at least like the Bishui Villa, which costs hundreds of millions. And the one my mother left me also comes with a garden. You can refer to this specification and buy them one."
The man stared at him coldly without answering.
Xu Qingran felt an inexplicable hostility in the gaze of this strange man.
He didn't know how he had offended the other person again, but he didn't let his aura overwhelm him. He even said with disdain, "If you can't do it, then stop interfering in other people's family affairs."
When Xu Yan saw Xu Qingran talking to the man who had just come in in this manner, he felt cold and sweaty all over.
Mo Chengfei, this man is at the top of their Silver Dragon Camp business circle! Even in the Empire, he can shake the entire business circle with just a stomp of his feet. In this man's eyes, the Xu family is probably just a small Karami.
Xu Yan has been in the business circle for so many years, and only recently did he get in touch with him through a few connections. He knew that he was in the God System recently, and after repeated invitations he finally persuaded him to attend Xu Qing'an's birthday party.
Mo Chengfei also has huge investments in medical care and is somewhat acquainted with Lu Wennian. After going through several levels of relationships, he was willing to give him the honor of attending.
But Xu Qingran dared to talk to others like this! How can the Xu family survive in the Silver Dragon Camp in the future? !
Just as Xu Yan was about to open his mouth to make amends, Mo Chengfei's cold and dark eyes looked over at him, and his voice was deep and cold: "Mr. Xu, it seems that you have some important housework to deal with today."
"I won't eat this meal."
After saying that, Zhen left the banquet hall without looking back, accompanied by his assistant.
After Mo Chengfei left, the bosses and business partners invited by Xu Yan could no longer sit still.
After exchanging glances, they all stood up and left.
"Mr. Xu, since it's not convenient for you today, we'll leave first."
"Ah, Lao Xu, let's talk about the cooperation we mentioned earlier later when we have the chance."
"Boss Xu, I won't bother you with your business here for now."
Everyone had a firm attitude, and in the blink of an eye, most of the people in the banquet hall slipped away.
No matter how Xu Yan tried to persuade him, it was of no avail.
Xu Yan was devastated by this result.
And Xu Qingran was naturally quite satisfied.
With the innate advantage of appearance, Xu Qingran didn't need to pretend and could always have an innocent expression: "Huh? Why are you all gone?"
"Ah, then I have other things to do, so I won't join you for dinner."
After saying that, he waved and walked out.
Xu Qing'an was devastated as he looked at the half-empty banquet hall, the strange looks from his friends and relatives, and the mess on his body.
Ruined again... Today should have been such a wonderful day, but it was ruined by Xu Qingran!
There was a hint of hatred in his eyes.
Crazy, huh? Since Xu Qingran could improve his reputation by going crazy everywhere, why should he be so pretentious?
When Xu Qing'an thought of this, his eyes fell on the sharp knife next to the cake. He grabbed the knife and rushed towards Xu Qingran.
There was an exclamation from the crowd.
Lu Cheng's heart tightened, and he subconsciously blurted out a reminder to the person who was leaving towards the door: "Xu Qingran!"
However, how could Xu Qingran be unaware of Xu Qingan's low-tech attack?
When Xu Qing'an rushed towards him, he slightly turned his body to avoid his stabbing attack, and then stretched out his foot to trip the man.
Xu Qing'an fell to the ground in a mess, his eyes turned red with anger, and his face had a ferocious expression that would scare even his classmates.
"Xu Qingran, what gives you the right to just walk away like that after ruining my birthday party?!" He grabbed the knife again and tried to attack Xu Qingran out of control, but was stopped by Lu Cheng who rushed over.
"Qing'an, calm down!"
During the struggle, Xu Qing'an accidentally used too much force, and the knife he wanted to use to hurt Xu Qingran accidentally cut a scar on Lu Cheng's arm.
Lu Cheng's injury brought back his sanity.
He let go of his hand in a daze, his eyes filled with fear: "I, I didn't mean to..."
"I know." Lu Cheng comforted.
He looked at Xu Qingran again with complicated eyes, and then hugged Xu Qingan in his arms: "It's okay, let's go back to the lounge to clean your clothes and face first, okay?"
Xu Qing'an held his hand tightly, as if she was afraid that he would abandon her and leave. She nodded pitifully and followed Lu Cheng.
The chaos in the banquet hall finally calmed down, but the atmosphere was extremely tense.
Until Xu Qingran followed Lu Cheng and the others out and turned into the corridor in the opposite direction of them.
"... Okay, let's go again." The remaining guests couldn't stay here any longer, so they could only leave while complaining.
Xu Yan looked at the birthday party he had planned for Xu Qing'an today. His chance to turn things around was ruined by Xu Qingran's disturbance.
He was so angry that he ran out of the banquet hall and caught up with Xu Qingran.
"You little bastard, you knew the Xu family is in such a difficult situation right now, but you still wanted to add insult to injury. Do you have any conscience?!" Xu's father grabbed Xu Qingran on the corridor and went back to scolding him as usual.
"You are also a member of the Xu family. What good will it do you if the Xu family collapses?!"
Xu Qingran shook off his hand without changing his expression, and walked towards the Shen family banquet hall while answering: "If you ask this, there will be many benefits."
"Seeing your Xu family in trouble makes me feel happy physically and mentally, and my mother left me so much money. Even if you Xu family doesn't rely on me, I won't have to worry about food and shelter. I can also gain double happiness and avenge my past self and my mother."
"What's more, even if your Xu family doesn't accept me, I still have the Qi family to rely on."
"What should I worry about?"
Xu Yan became furious after hearing this.
Pointing at his back, she chased after him and scolded him, "Well, Xu Qingran, you said you didn't get your father's love, but I think you are also a traitor, helping outsiders!"
"You still expect me to love you like this? You are far worse than An An!"
The more Xu Yan thought about it, the angrier he got: "You unfilial son, you messed up all my plans. I must beat you to death today!"
As soon as Xu Qingran stopped, Xu Yan rushed over from behind with anger, pretending to hit him.
If faced with a beating from someone else, he would definitely fight back.
When Xu Qingran and Xu Yan were arguing, the Shen family had already started serving the food.
Several waiters came in with plates, and the door of the banquet hall opened and closed, accidentally letting in some noise. It seemed that many people were leaving the dinner party and were loudly discussing the fun things they had during the dinner party.
After the waiter left, the Shen family's relatives began to eat elegantly.
Even when he spoke, he spoke in a low voice and his manners were very appropriate.
At the main table, the seat next to Shen Tianyi was still empty.
The head of the Shen family did not move his chopsticks, and no one at the table dared to move first.
After a while, he frowned and asked Shen Tingyu: "Where are the people?"
Obviously, it refers to Xu Qingran who was supposed to come in with Shen Tingyu and the others.
Shen Tingyu was silent for a while, then replied in a gentle voice: "This is his first time here, he might be lost and can't find the place, I'll go out and look for him."
Having said that, he knew very well that with Xu Qingran's intelligence, it was highly unlikely that he would get lost.
My right eyelid was twitching just now. I hope Xu Qingran didn’t do anything to cause a disturbance in the hotel.
Shen Tingyu walked towards the entrance while thinking, and opened the door of the banquet hall with both hands, but before walking out, he was shocked by the scene in front of him.
Outside the door, the man he was going to find was pressing a middle-aged man to the ground, with his hand on the man's neck making the man's face turn red.
He was still cursing, "You little bastard, you even dare to hit your father?!"
Xu Qingran, who was wearing a clean suit, raised his hand with a fist and sneered, "Don't say you are my father. Even if the king of heaven comes today, he will fight if he makes me unhappy."
After saying that, he really punched Xu Yan hard in the face.
Xu Yan was beaten so hard that he cried out in pain.
He hadn't beaten enough, so he grabbed Xu Yan's collar and was about to continue, when he felt something strange next to him.
So he stopped his raised fist in mid-air and turned his head to look to the side.
I don't know when the door of the banquet hall was opened.
Shen Tingyu just stood there, staring at him with his deep blue eyes, a rare hint of shock and astonishment in them.
The men and women who were eating at the tables behind him heard the noise outside after he opened the door and looked over.
Dozens of pairs of eyes were filled with confusion and astonishment.
Xu Qingran withdrew his gaze from those people and looked at Shen Tingyu again.
Then he put down his hand silently.
At this moment, the world suddenly became dead silent.
(End of this chapter)
