Mr. Lan frowned slightly: "Ling'er hasn't come back yet, please wait."
Looking at Mr. Lan's face, the elder sneered in his heart, but his expression remained unchanged.
According to his opinion, this old guy is not waiting for Lan Ling, but for that little bitch, right?
He will never allow anyone to compete with Lan Yiyi for the Lan family!
…
Beyond the Blue City.
A group of horses galloped over, causing dust to fly.
Lan Ling's eyes were filled with anxiety, especially when he looked at the sky getting later and later, his expression became even more impatient.
"It's getting late, Aluan, Rumo, we must go back to Lan's house as soon as possible, otherwise your grandpa will have to worry again."
Originally, Shen Qingluan should have arrived at Lan's house a long time ago, but he received news that Shen Rumo's carriage and horses were besieged on the way, so he went to rescue them.
This resulted in a delay of some time.
Fortunately, it's not too late.
Today they said they would come to celebrate grandpa's birthday and they must arrive tonight.
"Uncle, how long does it take to arrive at Lan City?" Shen Qingluan asked, looking sideways at Lan Ling.
Lan Ling glanced at the sky: "If everything goes well, there will be about half an hour left, so we should be able to make it in time. I'm just worried that your grandpa will be anxious."
Ever since the old man knew about the existence of Shen Qingluan's siblings, he had been worried about gain and loss, excited, and worried that they would not forgive him.
Now that they have not arrived, the old man will definitely be anxious.
Fortunately, he had sent a message to the old man before, and he would definitely arrive in Blue City today!
…
Lan family.
The guests have all gathered together.
However, Mr. Lan was still missing, which made their expressions become more anxious.
In the backyard wing, Mr. Lan stood at the door, staring at the yard outside the door without blinking, but what awaited him was still disappointment.
He didn't know how long he had stood there, almost turning into a stone, but he still didn't see those figures he thought about day and night.
In the end, all I could do was sigh.
"Old housekeeper, how long until the birthday banquet?"
The old housekeeper said helplessly: "The guests are already waiting for the master."
"Why."
Mr. Lan sighed: "Cancel it."
Even though he had known Mr. Lan's answer, the old housekeeper was still stunned and hesitated: "But the young master wrote a letter before, saying that they will definitely arrive today. If they are delayed by something, they will definitely write back."
What's more, he doesn't think that the eldest young master is not punctual.
They were only delayed for a moment, but they will definitely come back today!
Just when the old man was about to speak, all the elders of the Lan family walked in from outside the door, with sadness on their faces.
"Master, it's getting late. All the guests have arrived and are waiting for you."
Mr. Lan turned around and faced these clan elders: "Today's birthday is cancelled, and will be held again tomorrow."
Cancel?
These two words were like a heavy stick, hitting the head, making everyone present startled and a little dumbfounded.
Does the birthday banquet say you can cancel it if you cancel it?
The owner of the house is very old and thinks that these are all child's play? If it is cancelled, how will he explain it to the guests?
"Master, you must not do this. All the guests are waiting at Lan's house. How can you cancel just by saying you want to cancel?"
"Yes, Patriarch, don't be ridiculous. It's better to attend the birthday banquet with us, so as not to make the Lan family's birthday banquet a laughing stock in the world."
Mr. Lan said in a calm voice: "Today's birthday banquet is just a side event. I originally wanted to announce something to the Lan family, but Ling'er has not returned yet, so it will naturally be postponed for one day."
Announce something?
Except for the great elder who knew it well, everyone else was stunned when they heard this.
Could it be that...the old man is in poor health and wants to pass the throne to the eldest son?
