Now, Li Nan's mother Qi Xuemei has not only been promoted to manager, but the family has also moved into a new house in Meixiang Peninsula. It can be said that the conditions of their family have changed drastically today.
As a result, Qi Xuemei's confidence on her family's side was relatively sufficient.
Therefore, Li Nan felt that this should be the reason why his parents decided to go to Shanghai together this year to celebrate his grandfather's birthday.
"I understand, then I will pick you up tomorrow morning!" Li Nan directly agreed.
"Well, let's do this first, you can rest early." After Li Kangning said, he hung up the phone directly.
Looking at the hung up call, Li Nan looked a little complicated.
to be frank. He really didn't want to go back to Shanghai to celebrate his grandpa's birthday.
Because in the previous years, every time the family went back, the treatment they received was not very good, even the grandfather. The attitude towards their family is also very cold.
All this led to Li Nan's strong resistance to his mother's family. If possible, he really didn't want to have any contact with them at all.
But now. Now that his mother had made such a decision, Li Nan certainly didn't have much to say. After all, those were all relatives of his mother.
Li Nan only hoped that after so many years, the attitudes of those people could slightly change.
Early the next morning, Li Nan drove his BMW 8 Series out.
Before leaving the house, Li Nan also handed over a jade Buddha in his living room.
This jade Buddha was the gift that Lu Jiangshan asked Lu Jianghai to take to himself from Yanjing after Lu Jiangshan's matter was successfully resolved last time.
After all, Li Nan was celebrating his birthday with his grandfather this time, so he couldn't go there empty-handed, so he brought the Jade Buddha with him. Anyway, he didn't like art things much.
After leaving the house, Li Nan took the lead in coming to the Meixiang Peninsula Community to pick up his parents.
Today's parents all put on new clothes, obviously they were specially prepared for grandpa's birthday today.
Even sister Li Xue was already wearing a goose yellow dress, and she looked like a little princess.
"Brother!" Li Xue said hello to Li Nan when he saw Li Nan from afar.
After the family got in the car, Li Nan drove towards the Huhai.
Shanghai and Longcheng are adjacent to each other, and it's more than two hours' drive, neither far nor near.
And Qi Xuemei's family is almost outside of Shanghai.
Qi Xuemei's father, Li Nan's grandfather Qi Huachang, was somewhat famous in the system before, but when he retired, he was just a deputy.
Rao is so, this can be regarded as a glorious lintel for the entire Qi family, at least in the ten miles and eight townships, the name of Qi Huachang is still great.
In addition, Qi Huachang's sons and daughters are all quite promising, and the entire Qi family has grown to the present. It can be said to be a big family, and among the neighbors, you can definitely be regarded as a famous family.
This is exactly why Qi Xuemei went against Qi Huachang's wishes and insisted on marrying a poor boy Li Kangning, Qi Huachang would be very angry.
Because in Qi Huachang’s opinion, their Qi family is so good that they can be worthy of their Qi family. It is definitely the kind of right person, even if it is not a rich man, but also a good family, but Qi Xuemei has found someone who is too poor. Li Kangning, in Qi Huachang's eyes, this is a scandalous humiliating family!
Therefore, after so many years, Qi Huachang is still brooding about his daughter's decision at that time.
Although it is in the outskirts of the mountains. But the Qi family's mansion is not at all ambiguous. The entire courtyard is antique and the area is very large. It is located in ten miles and eight townships. They are all considered the most luxurious mansions.
The ancestor of the Qi family used to be famous, a squire, and a talented person, so. The rules of the whole family are relatively strict.
Every year on Qi Huachang’s birthday, Qi’s children, no matter where they are, will come back to celebrate his birthday.
When Li Nan and the others came to Qi's house. Many cars have been parked in front of the courtyard, and it seems that many Qi family members have already arrived.
After stopping the car, Li Nan's family walked directly into the courtyard.
At this moment, in the quaint courtyard. Several tables have been set up, and many people are sitting.
Originally, everyone in the entire yard was talking and laughing, but when Qi Xuemei and his family appeared. There was a moment of tranquility in the entire courtyard.
"Isn't this aunt and his family? I haven't seen each other in the past few years. Why did you suddenly come back this year?"
"That's right, Grandpa thought that their family was not pleasing to the eye, but they still want to show up. Isn't this purely a hindrance to Grandpa!"
"You don't know yet, I heard that the aunt and his family have improved a little this year, so I feel that I have a little confidence."
"I'm getting better? I heard that Uncle was a tattered man before. How can I get better if I get better?"
"Who knows. Maybe it's not necessarily by picking up tatters to make a fortune, hahaha..."
The conversations of the younger generation around them naturally fell into Qi Xuemei's ears, it's just that. They didn't take it to heart, anyway, they were used to the group ridicule of their maidens.
At this moment, several figures stood up and greeted them.
"Sister, you are finally here!" It turned out to be aunt Qi Xiumi.
"It's really great that you can come back, hahaha..." Cao Dafu on the side also smiled.
The aunt's family now treats Li Nan and the others respectfully. After all, it was the relationship between Li and Nan last time that Cao Dafu was able to win a large order from the Roche Group, which made Cao Dafu’s profit rise several times in an instant. Moreover, the future prospects are even greater. In the eyes of Cao Dafu and the others, Li Nan is similar to their God of Wealth, which makes them disrespectful.
And Cao Ke on the side. His complexion was a bit ugly at this moment.
Last time at the Shangri-La cocktail party, he had already seen Li Nan's methods, and even the big star Lin Shiyun could personally invite him, and he was also eligible to participate in the rooftop cocktail party. Cao Ke already feels that his cousin is not simple anymore.
"Okay, sister, my dad and them are sitting in the main hall, I'll take you in." Qi Xiumei said, and led the way with a smiling face.
The Li Nan family followed behind and stepped into the main hall.
At this moment, the left and right sides of the main hall were also full of people, including elders and others of the same generation as Li Nan.
In the middle position, an old man was sitting on a grand teacher's chair.
This old man is over seventy years old. The hair is gray, but the whole person is very energetic, and the whole person looks a little angry and pretentious.
This old man is Li Nan's grandfather. Qi Huachang.
"Dad, the eldest sister and their family have come to wish you birthday!" Qi Xiumei said cheerfully.
"Dad, I brought Xiao Nan Xiaoxue and the others to pay you birthday!" Qi Xuemei said and hurriedly signaled to Li Nan and Li Xue.
"I wish Grandpa Blessed the East China Sea, longevity than Nanshan!" Li Nan and Li Xue hurried forward to salute.
"Yeah." Qi Huachang just responded indifferently, without much expression on his face.
"I heard Xiu Mei say that your family has improved a little this year?" Qi Huachang asked after a long while.
"Well, I have been promoted to a manager where I work, and my family has a new house in Shanghai and the sea." According to the rules, every child and younger generation to come to celebrate birthdays is to report on their achievements and Harvested, so Qi Xuemei also told her story.
But what people didn't expect was that after listening to Qi Xuemei's words, Qi Huachang sneered directly.
"Manager? How big of a look I should be. It turned out to be just a manager. Just how promising can a manager be in your small hot pot restaurant?!" Qi Huachang thought it was ridiculous.
Qi Xuemei was said by Qi Huachang, so she had to bow her head in silence.
"What about you?" Qi Huachang looked at Li Kangning on the side again, "What have you accomplished this year?"
"I..." Li Kangning was so speechless when asked.
It is true that Li Kangning has been in very poor health over the past year. Some time ago, he had undergone an operation and lived in the hospital for such a long time, and indeed he did not accomplish any major things.
Qi Huachang sneered directly, "A dignified big man who let a woman come to feed, I really don't know what kind of ecstasy soup Xuemei drank in the first place, so that she will fall in love with you!" (End of this chapter)
