"Dad! Something is really wrong with Su Lin. His cousin is sick. He rushed back to Jian'an City yesterday and just caught the flight back this morning. There may be a traffic jam on the road, so he is a little late. He will be there soon."
Seeing Mr. Qin frowning, Fang Liping quickly stood up and explained.
“It’s excusable for family members to get sick.”
After hearing this, Mr. Qin said lightly. But everyone present also knew that the old man's indifferent words were already mixed with some dissatisfaction.
"Mom! What should I do?"
Qin Yanran, who was sitting down, tugged at the corner of her mother Fang Liping's clothes and asked nervously. Apparently she also saw that her grandfather was unhappy.
"Hey! Just wait and see. It'll be fine if Su Lin comes soon. If he doesn't come all the time, I'm afraid... I'll have a very bad impression on the old man."
Fang Liping said softly.
"Su Lin! Where are you! Come quickly!" [
Qin Yanran has no intention of being angry with Su Lin now. She just hopes that Su Lin will walk in the next second so that she doesn't have to suffer from her grandfather's dissatisfaction.
At this time, the most proud person is Qin Li. Qin Yanran is so beautiful, and he has long wanted to introduce her to the young masters of the Gu family or the Liu family, so that he can also benefit from the two young masters. But Qin Yanran would find Su Lin with no background, which made Qin Li feel like a flower "stabbed" in cow dung. Now that he had the opportunity, how could he not ridicule and belittle that person in front of Mr. Qin? Where is the brat named Su Lin
Half past twelve, so to speak. The Qin family's birthday banquet officially began. The guests also started the banquet amidst a burst of birthday wishes. It was at this time. Su Lin arrived belatedly. The reason why he came so late was partly because of the traffic jam, and partly because it was his first time coming to Qin's house. He was not familiar with the road and the driver didn't drive here often, so he took a lot of unnecessary steps.
But it was okay after all, when Su Lin hurried in. The feast has just begun.
"Sorry, I'm late, I'm late... My name is Su Lin... "
Su Lin said apologetically to the Qin family servants who were still greeting guests at the door.
"It turns out that this is your future grandson. The eldest lady and the master have been waiting for you for a long time. Go to the inner hall quickly... The family banquet is all in the inner hall." The old servant was very respectful to Su Lin and pointed inside.
"Okay, okay... I'll be there right away."
I'm late. Su Lin was already very apologetic, but this time, he quickly walked across the wine tables in the courtyard and walked to the inner hall.
"Noononuo... Young Master Gu, that... that is Su Lin. Humph! A brat who only knows how to act like a fox and act like a tiger."
The person who spoke was Wang Yu, whose identity was barely enough to sit among this table of dandies. But it is the lowest status. The Wang family is just a purely business family. Although they are rich, their status is far inferior. Just now, he had been sitting nearby and listening, without speaking. But now that I saw Su Lin walking in, I had such a good opportunity to avenge Su Lin. How could he miss it? He immediately pointed at Su Lin and said to Gu Yiyang.
"Oh? Is he Su Lin?"
Gu Yiyang also looked at Su Lin who hurriedly walked in with interest. Instead, he smiled and said, "Haha! Even Mr. Qin dares to be late for his eightieth birthday. This Su Lin is so brave. I don't think I need to make things difficult for him. When we enter the inner hall later, there will be many people in the Qin family making things difficult for him."
Even though Gu Yiyang was only in his third year of high school, he was very familiar with the struggles and intrigues within the aristocratic family. Moreover, he also knew that Qin Li, Qin Ming and Qin Liang of the Qin family would definitely not miss this opportunity to give Su Lin a good blow.
Therefore, Gu Yiyang did not stop Su Lin here, but watched Su Lin walk past him and enter the inner hall. [
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm late, Mr. Qin. I wish you blessings like the East China Sea and longevity as long as the Southern Mountains."
As soon as he entered the inner hall, Su Lin found that almost everyone was staring at him. Embarrassed, he also knew that he was wrong for being late, so he quickly apologized and then said birthday wishes to the old man in the middle seat. He didn't know how to call Mr. Qin. If he followed Qin Yanran, of course he would call him grandpa. But now he and Qin Yanran are just boyfriend and girlfriend. If he calls her like this when they meet for the first time, others will definitely say that he is so thick-skinned, so Su Lin compromises and calls Mr. Qin Mr. Qin.
"Su Lin! Why so late? Come... sit here."
Seeing Su Lin finally arrived, Qin Yanran also breathed a sigh of relief, and then quickly pulled Su Lin and sat next to her. This is the table in the middle, and all those sitting there are direct descendants of the Qin family.
"Hmph! Sister Yanran, this is your boyfriend Su Lin! What a great honor! He was the last one to arrive for grandpa's eightieth birthday."
Qin Ming, who had been holding back his words, now pointed arrogantly at Qin Yanran and taught Su Lin a lesson. When he was pursuing Lin Qingxue, he was severely beaten by Su Lin, but he couldn't retaliate at all, and he felt very aggrieved. Now that he had such a good opportunity to attack Su Lin, he would certainly not let it go.
"That's right! Our Qin family has always put filial piety first. A person who dares to be late for the birthday of his elders, what else can't he do?"
Qin Liang is Qin Ming's younger brother. Of course, he also knows that his brother was severely beaten by Su Lin. Even the instructors at the Normal University were beaten by Su Lin. So at this time, Qin Liang naturally Together with Qin Ming, attack Su Lin.
"Okay. Ming'er, Liang'er. After all, Su Lin is also a guest. He has important things to attend to. I'm sorry for being late. Our Qin family is also a generous family, so why bother with it?"
Qin Zeyuan waited until Qin Ming and Qin Liang had finished ridiculing Su Lin, and then he slowly stepped forward to smooth things over. On the surface, he seemed to be speaking for Su Lin, but in fact, he was still pointing out what was wrong with Su Lin.
Mr. Qin, on the other hand, remained silent and sat there with a gloomy face. Although he was not an old fool yet, he could still hear the thoughts of his descendants. Even though they were a little bit aimed at Su Lin, Su Lin gave him the first My first impression is really not very good. He seemed to be just a reckless young man, not stable at all, nor did he look like he was going to do anything important. He was very different from the Su Lin he imagined.
"Okay! Okay! Now that Su Lin has arrived, our family is all here. Brother, why don't we start taking out our birthday gifts and congratulate dad on his birthday!"
Qin Zesheng wanted to show off the congratulatory gifts that he had prepared carefully. The genius painter Sunny's masterpiece "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea" also has the meaning of the Eight Immortals' birthdays. It is a perfect birthday gift. Qin Zesheng believed that as long as he took out this painting, he could definitely compare with everyone's gifts and make his father think highly of him.
"Okay! In that case, let's go in order of eldest and youngest, starting with me, as the pillar of our Qin family, our old man, I will give you gifts."
Standing up and looking around, Qin Zesheng took out a gift box, opened it, and took out an exquisite jade pendant with a big word "longevity" on it, and said: "I spent nearly 5,000 yuan specially from Myanmar. Wan bought the Laokeng glass jade and hired the most famous master craftsman in China to carve it into this longevity jade, which naturally means that we hope that the longevity star of our family will live a long life and that our Qin family will live a long life."
As soon as Qin Zeyuan finished speaking, everyone burst into applause. Glass-grown jade is of the highest quality. It is still from Burma. It hired the best craftsmen. Its value is at least hundreds of millions. It was indeed a generous gesture, and the meaning was also very good. The Qin family members present all nodded. It was obvious that Qin Zeyuan had given this gift very well.
"Dad! Let me wear this longevity jade for you!" Qin Zeyuan stepped forward and put the jade on the chest of his father, Mr. Qin.
"Yeah! It's gentle and heart-warming. This jade is a good jade! It can indeed nourish people. Zeyuan, you have a heart!"
Mr. Qin also felt the warmth of the jade, and nodded with a smile, obviously very satisfied.
"Brother's longevity jade is very good, but the painting I want to give is more precious than my elder brother's longevity jade."
After Qin Zeyuan finished delivering, it was Qin Zesheng's turn. He smiled and asked his son Qin Li to take out a wrapped oil painting. The outer packaging had not been torn off, so everyone looked at it curiously, not knowing What is this picture.
"This painting was bought by my dad and I from an auction in Paris, France. It cost a total of 2.7 billion euros, which is equivalent to more than 2 billion yuan. But it is worth the money, as long as everyone sees this You will definitely know the value of a painting."
Qin Li explained on the side with excitement, this is the peak of the talented painter Sunny's on-site painting! The lifelike painting of the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea is a painting that makes people feel enchanted at just one glance. It doesn’t cost much!
"What? A painting worth more than 2 billion? So expensive?"
"How can a painting be so valuable? Whose painting is it? Is it Tang Bohu? Or is it Leonardo da Vinci? Even Tang Bohu's painting is not so expensive, right?"
"Tsk tsk! Second uncle really made a big deal this time!"
…
These collateral relatives of the Qin family are not like Qin Zesheng who can spend a lot of money. They would not feel bad at all if they throw away more than two billion. They can have a net worth of hundreds of millions at most, but they still benefit from the Qin family's glory.
"Such an expensive painting?"
Qin Yanran saw that her eldest uncle and her second uncle had begun to send congratulatory gifts. She remembered Su Lin's congratulatory gifts and quickly turned around and asked Su Lin in a low voice, "Su Lin, have you prepared any congratulatory gifts? If not, my mother can help you." I have prepared one. But in terms of quality, because it is a temporary preparation,..."
"Yanran, hehe! Since they sent paintings, I will also send paintings..."
