Chapter 449: She must come to watch the play (2 more)
Today is a normal day for ordinary people.
But for many people, and for some prominent figures in the capital, today is a special day.
Mrs. Du's 80th birthday banquet will be held today at the Yanyang Hotel.
It's like a grand event. Many people want to join in the fun, but it's not easy to go.
The Du family has made it known that they will not entertain guests, it is just a family banquet.
Of course this is just an excuse, but it excludes many people. No matter how rich you are, you just can't go if they don't invite you.
Many people know that a big event will happen in Beijing today.
Du Qingchen, the genius of the Du family, would also appear at the banquet. Although the events of that year have passed so long, many people still remember him freshly. They have not forgotten Du Qingchen.
Today, Du Qingchen's opponents and enemies will definitely go there. Du Qingchen wants to settle accounts with them, and they want to put Du Qingchen to death.
This is a certain thing.
Therefore, too many people are curious, what will be the result today?
Will Du Qingchen return to the Du family?
Will Du Qingchen die?
At nine o'clock in the morning, the Du family members had already arrived at the hotel.
The entire hotel was booked, and preparations had been made for closure a few days ago.
Mr. Du's original name is Du Wengui. This name is very common. It is estimated that there are many people with the same name in the country, but he himself is extremely extraordinary, because he was once a figure like Optimus Prime of the Republic. He entered the most core power institutions and even commanded
Hundreds of thousands of troops, even if they have retired for so many years, Du Wengui's disciples are all over the world, and everyone in the military and political circles must respect him. It can be said that Mr. Du is indispensable for the Du family to become the head of the four major families in the capital.
No.
The old man is great, and his grandson is even more powerful.
Du Qingchen once led an era. When he was in the capital, all his peers were eclipsed by his light.
And now Du Qingfeng is already a master of Tongxuan at a young age. He is at the top of the ancient martial arts world. In today's capital, no one can surpass him in terms of influence.
Although the old man is smiling today, he is in a very depressed mood.
In a box on the second floor, Mr. Du and a group of core family members were sitting here.
He would not go downstairs until the birthday banquet started.
The eldest son Du Yungang sat next to him, and the second son Du Yunliang sat opposite him. He is Du Qingchen's father. Unfortunately, the relationship between father and son is almost gone now. He has divorced Qi Qinglian and remarried, and gave birth to a son. Although
He was only a few years old, but he was really a heartless person. He had drawn a clear line with Du Qingchen back then. This was also the fundamental reason why Qi Qinglian was disappointed with him.
Du Wengui asked: "Where is the third child?"
Du Yungang said: "Dad, the third child said he would come back today, but he has a temporary job and can't get away. He has already asked someone to buy a gift."
"It's true that the third child is here. It's my father's eightieth birthday. Is there anything more important than this? It's so outrageous." Du Yunliang complained.
In a room full of people, no one dared to express an opinion.
Du Wengui frowned and said: "What are you talking about? The third child is now the head of a province. Are the tens of millions of people in the city not more important than me, an old man who is about to look down on me?"
Everyone looked strange, not knowing whether he was telling the truth or speaking out of anger.
As if he could see what his children and grandchildren were thinking, Du Wengui said sternly: "Don't think I'm angry. No, I'm not angry at all. The third child did the right thing, and I'm very pleased."
He was really not angry.
Despite his usual indifference to family affairs, he actually understands the family's problems very well.
It's not that Du Yunqiang is unfilial, nor does he necessarily care about the people, but he just doesn't want to get involved in today's affairs.
Everyone knows that today's birthday banquet is just a cover, and the real purpose is to target Du Qingchen's Hongmen Banquet.
He didn't want this either. He didn't even want this birthday banquet, but he was old. Now Du Qingfeng's influence in the family was too strong and had long surpassed him. He had already appointed him as the family's successor. How could he say that?
What?
What's more, today's guests are almost all members of the four major families, and the rest are all big figures in the ancient martial arts world. As a secular person, he has almost zero influence on these people.
He was also very helpless.
Naturally, he didn't want to see his two grandsons in such trouble. They were incompatible with each other. Every time he thought about it, he couldn't help but feel sad. But he was still very open-minded. When things got to this point, he couldn't control them. He tried to reconcile them.
It just didn’t work out, so you might as well let them go.
Du Wengui asked again: "Where is Qingfeng?"
"He's down there receiving guests."
Du Yungang said proudly.
Du Qingfeng is his son. In the early years, although he was the eldest, he did not have much say in the family. It was not until Du Qingfeng rose that he truly became tough.
"You guys should also go down and receive us."
Du Qingchen said to his two sons.
"Dad, why don't you go down and show your face first? People from the Wang family and Nangong family are here, even the old man from the Zhao family is here."
Du Yungang said.
"I won't go, you can go."
Du Wengui waved his hands and closed his eyes, as if he was very tired.
In the hall downstairs, a grand event has begun.
Although the Du family had announced that they would not accept guests to celebrate, the four major families were exceptions.
Zhao Tianba's father, Zhao Shengwu, and Zhao Tianhao arrived with gifts. Brothers Wang Mingcheng from the Wang family arrived, and Nangong Zhan from the Nangong family just arrived.
Du Qingfeng was still so elegant and gentleman. When he came to Zhao Shengwu, he smiled and said: "Uncle Zhao, I would really like to thank you for having trouble coming in person."
Zhao Shengwu laughed and said: "It's my eightieth birthday. I'll ask for a birthday drink no matter what, as long as you don't blame me for coming uninvited."
"How dare you!"
After chatting for a while, Du Qingfeng exchanged pleasantries with the Wang Mingcheng brothers before coming to Nangong Zhan.
"Where's Wan'er?"
Du Qingfeng was not polite to Nangong Zhan and asked immediately.
Nangong Zhan said: "I asked people to watch her and didn't dare to let her come over."
"Why not let her come?"
Du Qingfeng smiled and said: "How can we let her miss her studies at such a grand event today?"
Nangong Zhan frowned and said unhappily: "What do you mean? Don't you think it's embarrassing that she's here? Don't you know that she's still thinking about your brother?"
"So what, it just makes him give up."
Du Qingfeng said calmly.
"Are you so sure?"
"You'll know soon. Do you think I've done anything I'm not sure about?"
Nandu Qingfeng asked rhetorically.
Nangong Zhan thought for a while and said, "She might as well not come. I'm afraid of causing trouble and that she will be in danger."
"No, she has to come. Should you send someone to send her here, or should I go there myself? I might be busy today." Du Qingfeng said domineeringly.
He has rarely been so domineering.
Nangong Zhan's face became a little ugly: "Does it have to be like this?"
Du Qingfeng patted his shoulder: "Don't worry."
"All right."
After hesitating for a while, Nangong Zhan could only compromise.
There was no way, the arm couldn't twist the thigh. He knew very well that he was just an arm, and Du Qingfeng was not negotiating with him.
