Gu Xiaoai slowly looked up along his hand and saw an old face, a face she was familiar with. Gu Xiaoai was stunned and looked at the bodyguards surrounding her in shock.
Old Li walked down...
Mr. Li slowly walked down the winding stairs.
His brows were serious and sharp, and he stared straight ahead with force, without the concentration and concentration that Gu Xiaoai was familiar with; he was wearing a white shirt with a straight silver-gray vest, and he did not have the Chinese clothing that Gu Xiaoai was familiar with...
But that face... was obviously that of an old man who would be busy in the garden all afternoon.
An old gardener she had been dealing with.
No, it was the gardener she thought she was. She never knew the old man's name, and the old man never said who he was...
He is Mr. Li, the father of the three brothers of the Li family, the leader and the highest person in power of the entire E.S. consortium.
Gu Xiaoai was completely stunned, as if her soul had left her body.
…
"Pah, pah, pah—"
Thunderous applause rang out in the hall, so loud it could make people's ears ring.
Gu Xiaoai was slightly stunned.
Old Li, whom she hated to the core and was extremely disgusted with, was actually the person she occasionally confided in and vented her feelings to.
What the hell is going on?!
"I wish Li Lao a happy future and a happy future every year!"
The uniform birthday greetings suddenly sounded in the hall again. The foreigners were all wishing birthdays in Chinese, and they all bowed with their hands in the most Chinese style...
Gu Xiaoai obviously didn't keep up with everyone else. She hadn't fully recovered from the shock.
Li Lao walked to the middle of the stairs with his crutches in hand and stopped. He looked down at the bottom for a week. He paused for less than half a second on Gu Xiaoai's stunned face and moved away. His face was serious and he looked at the crowd calmly.
head.
In Old Li, Gu Xiaoai saw the aura of looking down on the world, which was different from the old man who only watered flowers and pruned branches in the garden.
…
Two servants laid a festive red carpet under the last step of the stairs.
"Bang--"
Beside her, Manwen, Li Juexi, Li Juesi, Li Juefeng, Luo Yaer...including her son Len all knelt down on their knees.
Gu Xiaoai stood there with her lips pursed tightly and did not kneel down. She did not want to kneel down and kowtow to Mr. Li.
All eyes were turned towards her.
…
There was total silence.
Li Juefeng knelt on the ground, frowned, turned to look at her, his eyes were very dark, and his thin lips were pursed.
Li Juexi touched Manwen with his elbow. Manwen was kneeling on the ground and raised her head to look at Gu Xiaoai, her eyes moving in her sockets, and motioned for her to kneel down.
The atmosphere seemed to have condensed to a freezing point.
Gu Xiaoai raised her eyes and looked at Old Li at the top of the stairs. Old Li was also looking at her with a scrutinizing gaze, his face was serious, his hands were on the crutches, and his fingers were moving one by one.
Gu Xiaoai lowered her head, glanced across the faces of Li Juefeng and Len, and finally knelt down in full view of everyone.
"I wish my father to be as blessed as the flowing water of the East China Sea and to live as long as the immortal pines of the Southern Mountains!"
Li Juexi and Manwen waited for Gu Xiaoai to kneel down and congratulated her on her birthday, thus resolving this rigid situation.
"Everyone, get up."
Li Lao's voice was strong and powerful, and he simply raised his head.
The three brothers walked up the stairs one by one. At Manwen's signal, Gu Xiaoai walked up to the stairs holding Len's hand with her.
A group of people stood in a row on the steps behind Mr. Li. Flash lights were immediately turned on to take pictures of them, and thunderous applause erupted in the hall.
