As the richest man in Los Angeles and the chairman of Yaoyuan Technology, the largest technology company in the country, how could Mo Yurou not know about Tengmai Technology? However, I had only heard that the chairman of Tengmai Technology had a very good son. Today I met Ou Qianyi
, it seems that he is not inferior to women, and he is already the person in charge of an overseas branch at a young age, so it seems that he is quite suitable for Masnian.
Thinking of this, Mo Yurou's expression relaxed slightly, looking at the two people still standing, she immediately pointed to the sofa beside her and said.
"Si Nian, why don't you invite Miss Ou to sit down? Sister-in-law Zhang, let the kitchen prepare it and start eating right away."
Mo Yurou said to the butler beside her.
"Miss Ou, you and my eldest brother, who is chasing the other?"
Seeing the awkward atmosphere in the living room, the little prince Xiao Yingze broke the silence and looked at Ou Qianyi and asked.
Ou Qianyi was not as shy as ordinary women, so she spoke calmly and generously.
"The man I pursued was Si Nian, who was a popular figure in the school during his college years. However, we didn't have much contact at the time. Unexpectedly, God would provide for us and allow me to meet him in a foreign country a few years later. We went out to have dinner several times.
I confessed my love to him."
When Ou Qianyi was speaking, she kept staring at Mas Nian, her eyes were a little more fiery, and her tone was a little softer than before.
"That's what I'm saying? As an eldest brother, I keep everything in my heart. If Miss Ou hadn't taken the initiative to pursue her, I guess my eldest brother would still be a bachelor now."
Xiao Yingze looked at Masnian who was silent and said jokingly. Ou Qianyi nodded with a smile and said.
"Actually, Si Nian had many suitors. There were also a lot of girls in school who loved Si Nian. It's just that I was luckier than others and had more courage. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to become Si Nian's girlfriend."
As she spoke, Ou Qianyi seemed to have thought of something. She opened the bag she had just taken from the car beside her and took out several exquisite gift boxes.
"Uncle and aunt, this is a gift that Si Nian and I picked together. Knowing that my aunt has a hobby of collecting famous watches, I went to the factory in Switzerland to customize a couple's watch for my uncle and aunt. I hope you will accept it after chatting with me."
Xiao Zichen raised his eyes and glanced at the exquisite box on the coffee table, but did not speak. Instead, Mo Yurou at the side took it, opened it, looked at it, and then said politely.
"Thank you, Miss Ou, for letting Miss Ou spend money."
Although Mo Yurou acted very kindly, there was still a hint of alienation in her tone.
When Ou Qianyi saw Mo Yurou's polite reply, her eyes dimmed, but there was still a kind smile on her face. Then she took out a box from the bag and handed it to Xiao Yingze.
"Second Young Master, this is a custom-made pen. Although I use a computer for writing now, I think it can still be used when the Second Young Master signs the contract. I hope to accept it."
Xiao Yingze was much more enthusiastic. He took it with both hands, opened it and looked at it carefully with the pen. I have to say that Ou Qianyi was very careful in preparing the gift. Xiao Yingze's pen name was also engraved on the pen.
After that, Ou Qianyi took out another square box, came to Lu Yazhen, bent down and handed it over with both hands.
"Grandma, this is Chanel's new limited edition silk scarf this year. Grandma will look even more graceful when she wears it."
Lu Yazhen took it kindly, opened it politely, looked at it, and said something polite.
"Miss Ou is interested."
Finally, Ou Qianyi took out the largest box, placed it in front of Xiao Yingxi, and said softly.
"I have always heard Si Nian say that he has a sister who is a very good painter. I have been looking for this gift for a long time. It is a set of oil painting tools made by a skilled craftsman. I hope Miss Xiao will like it."
Xiao Yingxi looked at the beautifully wrapped gift box on the coffee table in front of her and remained silent for a long time. Everyone in the living room noticed that Xiao Yingxi was in a low mood. At this time, Xiao Yingxi looked up at Masnian and smiled slightly.
,road.
"Brother, after being abroad for three years, you have forgotten that I am left-handed. All the painting tools are specially customized by Daddy. I am afraid that I will not be able to use this gift."
With that said, Xiao Yingxi closed the box with a snap, then stood up.
"Mommy, let me go and see how dinner is being prepared in the kitchen?"
After saying that, Xiao Yingxi left the living room alone.
Ou Qianyi's expression froze, and she stood there awkwardly, looking at Xiao Yingxi's leaving figure. She always felt that something was wrong, but she didn't dare to guess.
At this time, Xiao Yingze showed his strengths again and immediately opened his mouth to break the dull atmosphere in the living room.
"Brother, this is your fault. You can't ignore our little princess just because you have a girlfriend. Be careful that she comes to settle accounts with you."
When Xiao Yingze said this, Masnian smiled faintly, pulled Ou Qianyi to sit down, and then said quietly.
"I was in such a hurry to come back this time that I was negligent. We will prepare a new gift for Luoluo another day."
"Okay, we're all a family, there's no need to be so polite. How come we've become strangers after being away for three years?"
Xiao Zichen finally spoke, but there was a hint of anger in his tone.
At this time, Mo Yurou pulled the corner of Xiao Zichen's clothes and quickly smoothed things over and said.
"Okay, Si Nian hasn't been back for three years. Put away your father's airs and let's go. Dinner is ready. Let's all take a seat. Miss Ou, I didn't know you were coming. I hope you won't find it objectionable."
With that said, Mo Yurou pulled Xiao Zichen to stand up. The two of them supported Lu Yazhen, and the group walked to the restaurant.
"Young master, today is your 30th birthday. Mother Wu made your favorite crab roe and four-year-old meatballs. By the way, let's eat this bowl of longevity noodles first. This is the noodles made by my wife's own hands."
As soon as everyone arrived at the restaurant, Wu Ma, leaning on a cane, directed the two servants to bring two dishes to Masnian. They were familiar to him. One was the first dish he had eaten when he came to this house, and the other was
It is a longevity noodle that appears every year for birthdays, and it has become a tradition in this family.
Masnian sat down, looked at the hot noodles in front of him, took a few bites and ate only the noodle soup.
"Happy birthday to you……"
At this time, the lights in the restaurant dimmed, and Xiao Yingze, Lu Ziyou, and Yu Tianzuo walked out from the kitchen next to them carrying a big cake.
"Brother, happy birthday. This is your last birthday that begins with a second letter. As a young man who is about to enter a third-prefix, please make a wish."
Xiao Yingze brought the cake to Mas Nian and said.
Although Mas Nian has passed the age of looking forward to birthdays, he still closed his eyes and silently made a wish in front of these family members who had prepared everything carefully.
Pfft... The candles went out and the lights came on. Xiao Yingze stared at Masnian gossiping and asked.
"Brother, please tell me, what wish did you make?"
"Oh, Lu Ziyou, why did you hit me?"
Xiao Yingze rubbed the back of his head, glared at the woman next to him, and roared angrily.
"I wonder if it won't work if I say my birthday wish? I'm such a good man, but I'm more gossipy than a woman. Are you sorry?"
Lu Ziyou looked at Xiao Yingze with a look of disgust. Xiao Yingze blew his beard and glared, but when he saw Lu Ziyou's provocative expression, he gritted his teeth, took a step back and said.
"Huh, good men don't fight with women."
"Where's Luoluo."
At this time, Yu Tianzuo on the side looked around the restaurant, but did not see Xiao Yingxi, so he said casually.
"Well, aren't you here? You probably went to get a gift for your eldest brother."
Xiao Yingze pointed at Xiao Yingxi who was walking towards this side. She took a picture frame that was almost one meter high, but the frame was facing away from them, so no one knew what it was painting.
"Brother, this is your birthday gift. I remember when I was in college, you said that you hoped that I could draw you a painting. Now, I am here to fulfill your wish. I hope you don't dislike it."
Xiao Yingxi looked at the man in front of her with burning eyes. She hadn't seen him for three years. This man was even deeper and more difficult to see through.
She is obviously her father's biological daughter, but the man in front of her is more like their father than her.
Masnian's eyes flashed slightly, he hesitated, and reached out to take the painting in Xiao Yingxi's hand. A closer look revealed that the oil painting on it had not yet dried completely.
Everyone came together, and Lu Ziyou suddenly sighed.
"Luoluo, what you painted is Brother S Nian, right? It's so vivid, especially these eyes, it feels like there's something inside them. Did you draw it based on that photo?"
"There are no photos. After living for so many years, what reference do I need? I just drew the big brother in my memory."
Xiao Yingxi said quietly, and then she raised her head and looked at Masnian again. When she saw Masnian's cold eyes, Xiao Yingxi's eyes half closed, a hint of sadness flashed through her eyes, and then she said softly
.
"Brother, happy birthday."
"Thank you, Luoluo. I haven't seen you for a few years. Your paintings are getting better and better. I heard that you have won many awards over the years. I am really proud of you."
Hearing this formal compliment, Xiao Yingxi smiled bitterly, then turned around, silently walked to Mo Yurou's side, and sat down quietly.
At the dinner table, several men were chatting about business matters, and Xiao Yingxi seemed particularly quiet all night.
Masnian seems to be very gentle to Ou Qianyi. From time to time, he will help her pick up vegetables and fill up her glass in time when there is no juice in her glass.
Halfway through dinner, Lu Yazhen left the table early and went back to her room to rest. Several men moved to the bar area next to them, sipping red wine and chatting about business. Even Lu Ziyou could occasionally say a few words.
At this time, Xiao Yingxi seemed to be out of tune with everything here.
Perhaps her family had protected her too well over the years, or perhaps she was an artist who was not interested in the secular world, so the content of their conversation seemed particularly unfamiliar to Xiao Yingxi.
At this time, Xiao Yingxi poured herself a glass of red wine, walked over silently, and sat quietly next to Lu Ziyou, just listening quietly. When she saw them laughing, she also smiled when she saw them nodding.
, she also nodded, as if this way, she was not an outsider.
