683 ulterior motives

The Ling family is the first family in LZ City. Mr. Ling's birthday banquet was held in great splendor. The large living room was packed with people. After Xiao Huanhuan entered, he was attracted by a pile of tall crystal cups placed next to him.

There are countless crystal cups, thick at the bottom and thin at the top, arranged like a pagoda. There is a thick candle in the top crystal cup. The bright crystal cup reflects the swaying candlelight and is particularly beautiful.

Jiang Yifan saw that Xiao Huanhuan was very interested in that, so he leaned into her ear and explained to her, "This is the tradition of LZ City. Old people will use it to celebrate their birthdays. The candles in the crystal cups are made of special materials and can be burned."

It will not be extinguished for three days and three nights, symbolizing that the incense is passed down from generation to generation."

"Oh," Xiao Huanhuan watched for a while, then looked back at him, "Jiang Yifan, you know so much!"

I was praised by my wife again for kissing me!

His wife has the sweetest mouth when she kisses him!

He smiled and rubbed Xiao Huanhuan's hair. If there weren't too many people here, he would have kissed her hard.

When he was lost in emotion, Mr. Ling had finished speaking and was about to blow out the candles on the birthday cake. The servants standing around the living room turned off all the lights in the living room. Suddenly, only the birthday was left in the living room.

The candlelight on the cake and the thick candlelight in the crystal cup.

All Xiao Huanhuan's attention was focused on the beautiful birthday cake. The birthday cake had more than ten layers and was as tall as a person. Mr. Ling had to cross his legs to get the candles on top.

Xiao Huanhuan was looking at it funny, when suddenly he was pushed hard from behind, causing him to fall towards the stack of crystal cups as tall as a person.

The crystal cups were all stacked one on top of the other without using anything to fix them. Not to mention someone bumping into them, even if the wind was strong, they might be blown over. As soon as Xiao Huanhuan's body touched the crystal cup, it started to rattle.

Fall to the side.

Xiao Huanhuan's mind went blank, she only knew that she had gotten into trouble. Jiang Yifan just said that the candle in the crystal cup could only be blown out by the birthday boy himself, otherwise it would be a very unlucky sign.

She watched helplessly as the crystal cup containing the candle fell to the ground, and subconsciously reached out to catch it.

She just thought that she must not let the candle in the crystal cup go out no matter what, otherwise Mr. Ling would feel very awkward. Older people are more superstitious. If this candle, which symbolizes the incense passed down from generation to generation, is in full view of everyone,

After being destroyed, the old man didn't know how uncomfortable he felt.

All she could think about was the crystal cup with the candle in it, but she didn't expect that the crystal cup would break into sharp fragments when she dropped it on the ground. If she fell on those fragments, it would take half of her life.

Fortunately, Jiang Yifan reacted quickly. When she was about to hit the ground, he grabbed her arm and pulled her up. She also narrowly managed to take the crystal cup with the candle in her hand.

The candle in the crystal cup had been burning for a while, and a lot of wax oil had accumulated in the crystal cup. When the crystal cup was tilted, most of the wax oil poured onto her hands, which burned her and caused severe pain.

She was so frightened that she stood blankly holding the crystal cup and looking at the broken pieces on the ground. Her mind went blank and she couldn't even care about the burns on her hands.

There were hundreds of crystal cups in the pile, and the sound of them falling to the ground was particularly clear. All the guests looked over and Mr. Ling stopped blowing out the candles and signaled the butler to turn on the lights in the living room again.
