Coming-of-age ceremony is a term reserved only for well-off families and above.
For an ordinary family like Su Hao who had just had enough food and clothing, no one had the time to hold any coming-of-age ceremony. He vaguely remembered that on his 18th birthday, his mother added an extra egg to his bowl...
That's all.
But just such an egg kept him warm for a day, and made him feel warm every time he thought about it. His 18th birthday, no matter how he celebrated it, was an important day.
Therefore, he must go to Chen Yiran’s coming-of-age ceremony!
For a day, Su Hao appeared and disappeared, and he didn't know what he was preparing. Even when Su Ling asked curiously, Su Hao kicked him out angrily.
It wasn't until the afternoon that Su Hao came back feeling a little tired.
"Hey, brother, what's wrong with you?"
When Su Ling saw her brother coming back, she hurried over to support him and frowned, "The source energy is consumed so much, brother, what did you do?"
"It's okay." Su Hao smiled, "I'll change my clothes and leave."
"don't want!"
Su Ling pressed him down on the sofa, puffed out her chest, and said forcefully: "Sit down for me!"
Su Hao was speechless.
Su Ling asked Su Hao to sit down, and then gently rubbed his shoulders with her small hands, "Brother, take a rest. You are going to Sister Yiran's coming-of-age ceremony later. You don't want her to see you like this."
"Hmm."
Su Hao closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
He has already prepared what should be prepared. Tonight is destined to be a feast...
"boom!"
A flash of lightning in the sky lit up the entire night sky of Jianghe City.
I don't know why, but today's weather seems a little different.
Chen family, garden villa.
Countless people are surging, and more than half of the rich people in Jianghe City are gathered here. I don’t know how many people are trying to squeeze in here.
Not just because it's Chen Yiran, in fact, 90% of the people here don't know the eldest lady of the Chen family. To them, this place is just a gorgeous dating party.
Enemies, friends, allies, basically all the information you want.
It was almost eight o'clock at this time. The party had already started. The red wine was sloshing around. They were elegant and indifferent. Everyone here behaved in an extraordinary manner, showing their grace and elegance. They talked together in twos and threes, or occasionally chuckled. The conversation was elegant. Regardless of their temperament.
, or just pretending, this is the appearance of the upper class in Jianghe City.
At eight o'clock sharp, the noise gradually disappeared. Everyone looked up and saw a girl slowly walking down the second floor on the corner stairs of the hall. She was wearing a white dress with delicate lace that highlighted her white legs.
Tall and straight, the exquisite curves are completely outlined.
"hiss--"
Everyone gasped. Chen Yiran was used to being simple on weekdays. Unexpectedly, she dressed up a little today and looked like a goddess, stunning countless people!
With a faint smile, Chen Yiran glanced around, showing a hint of disappointment.
He... still hasn't come?
With some sadness, Chen Haonian and his wife walked away from the stairs. Both of them were wearing formal attire, and they were obviously very interested in their daughter's coming-of-age ceremony.
Noticing his daughter's expression, Chen Haonian breathed a sigh of relief.
Su Hao didn't come!
Very good!
If Su Hao comes in to such a scene, it will cause a big mess. After all, although there are a lot of rumors, almost everyone knows about it. But, after all, it is behind the scenes. Some things, if they get too big,
It's not good for either of them. And...he has more important things to do today!
"Haha, Lao Chen! I'm not too late."
A domineering voice came out, and Sun Yaotian strode in from outside.
"Of course not."
Chen Haonian smiled and said, "Without you, would I dare to start this banquet?"
"Well said!"
Sun Batian smiled and said, "Let's get started. Everyone is here to attend Yiran's coming-of-age ceremony, and it's not your coming-of-age ceremony. We can't let everyone go hungry."
Everyone burst into laughter.
Chen Haonian had no choice but to say, "Since Chairman Sun has spoken, let's get started. As for my precious daughter, she was born in the turbulent era of Yuan Neng and has made us and my husband worry a lot. Now that she is 18 years old, we have finally got a wish.
Thank you for coming to bless me. If nothing else, I must eat and drink enough today!"
"Where, where."
"You're too kind."
"Brother Chen, you can't say that." A fat man in his thirties or forties stood up and said dissatisfied, "Everyone came to attend the coming-of-age ceremony, but they came for the eldest lady. We wanted to prepare a gift for the eldest lady, but
We traveled a lot. Since no one said anything, I, the fat man, will give my blessing to the eldest lady first."
As he said that, the fat man took out a green jade box and handed it over.
Everyone looked interested.
Giving gifts before the banquet is an interesting part. Many companies in Jianghe City are all looking forward to cooperating with the Chen family. If the gifts given out can make Miss Chen like it, with a wave of Chen Haonian's hand, their company will be able to join the Chen family.
His thighs. From then on, everything went straight up.
For really big companies, what kind of gifts you give also indicates the size of the company. If you give too little, others will look down on you and say they have to cooperate with you.
For thousands of years in China, giving gifts is definitely a science.
Chen Haonian handed it to his daughter. Chen Yiran gently pushed open the jade box, with a look of surprise in his eyes. It was Tianxue Jade Ginseng, a top-quality medicinal material! It was cultivated under the influence of source energy. After taking it, it can greatly improve the body's health.
Improving the quality of source energy in the body is worth tens of millions!
"Holy shit! Tianxue Jade Ginseng!"
"It turns out to be true!"
"The fat man's attack was quite ruthless this time!"
While everyone was amazed, they were also troubled. Fatty gave out such expensive gifts as soon as he appeared on the scene. Can they still give out those gifts below?
"good."
Seeing that his daughter was quite satisfied, Chen Haonian immediately smiled and said, "Fat man, it seems that business has been good recently."
"Hey, thanks to Brother Chen for taking care of me."
Fatty, hey, hey, he understands in his heart. This relationship is established!
Seeing that the fat man was winning, everyone presented the gifts they had prepared, including various magical medicinal materials, cultivation techniques, accessories, etc., all in front of Chen Yiran. However, except for the Tianxue Jade Ginseng at the beginning, Chen Yiran's
His expression never changed at all.
Yueying quietly appeared next to Chen Yiran, grabbed her little hand, and felt a chill. Only she understood Chen Yiran's mood at the moment.
Just now, she went out for a walk. She still didn't find Su Hao.
All we can say is that Su Hao... didn't come at all!
"Yue Ying." Chen Yiran said softly.
"don’t worry."
Yueying comforted, "If he is serious, he will definitely come."
"Really?"
Chen Yiran pinched the corner of her clothes and looked at Yueying with amusement. This young lady who never dressed up stayed in the room for three hours today, learning how to put on makeup and dress up with her, just to let Su Hao take a look.
.
It's just a pity...
Yueying sighed secretly in her heart.
Soon, everyone's birthday gifts were delivered.
The four major family businesses in Jianghe City, in addition to the Sun family, the Zhou family and the Yue family also gave their own heavy gifts, which made everyone marvel, but everyone knew that the focus this time was the Sun family!
The Sun family and the Chen family have a close relationship, and even Chen Yiran and Sun Yaotian have a contractual relationship. However, there are recent rumors that there is a rift between the two families because of the existence of a young man. When gods fight, little ghosts suffer. If the two families are in conflict with each other because of this,
Damn it, the cannon fodder like them will definitely be the unlucky ones in the end.
Fortunately, now it seems that it is just a rumor.
I didn’t see the scene. Is it only the Sun family that didn’t send gifts?
Regardless of whether that person exists or not, the fact that he did not appear on such an important occasion means that he has been eliminated!
"Only the Sun family is left."
"Yeah... I'm just telling you, how could the eldest lady of the Chen family like a common student?"
"That's right, I remember that that boy seems to be Su Hao, who is number one in the Natural Selection Class. However, now it seems that it is just a rumor. Although that Su Hao has good grades, he is still far from the Chen family."
"If the rumors are true, then this Su Hao is even more serious. What's the use of someone who doesn't show up on such an important occasion and just hides?"
"I also heard that a student with a slim future, the eldest lady of the Chen family, can someone like him get involved?"
Everyone was whispering and discussing in a low voice, while all looking at the Sun family.
The last gift given by the Sun family should be prepared for the grand finale. It must be a big gift. However, Chen Yiran cannot be tempted by a gift worth tens of millions. What does the Sun family want to give?
Everyone is looking forward to it!
Chen Yiran's face turned pale, and she held Yueying's hand tightly with her right hand, "He... didn't come."
"Perhaps so many people are present because of your reputation." Yueying comforted.
"I know."
Chen Yiran sighed, "I'm just a little sad."
More than a little sad!
Yueying looked at her expression and smiled bitterly, then quickly changed the subject, "What do you think the Sun family will give you?"
"Not interested."
Chen Yiran shook her head.
Yue Ying smiled softly, "That's not necessarily true. Look, the young master of the Sun family is very satisfied at this time. Maybe he will give you a surprise."
"he?"
Chen Yiran said disdainfully, "After so many years, I still don't know about him? He is a man of wealth but everything is ruined! He is a complete prodigal. Even if he has anything expensive, it must have been prepared by his family."
Yueying shook her head, "Maybe, Nuo, he's here."
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Sun Yaotian walked up to Chen Yiran with a smile on his face and said, "Yiran, happy birthday."
Chen Yiran frowned and said nothing.
Sun Yaotian didn't mind at all, and said affectionately, "Yi Ran, I have been chasing you for so many years, and I admit that I used to be a jerk for a long time. But, for you, I am willing to make changes. To give you a gift
, I started preparing a month ago, and now, I’m finally ready. I’m not asking for expensive things, but I’m asking you to put on a smile.”
"Wow! So touching!"
"Yes, it's so romantic!"
Many girls looked at Sun Yaotian like a nymphomaniac. Even Yueying was a little surprised. Did this guy really prepare some earth-shattering gift?
"This is the gift I want to give."
Sun Yaotian smiled indifferently and pointed to the door. Everyone was startled. They looked up and saw a slender and elegant figure slowly walking in from the door.
Chen Yiran looked at this figure in shock, with a look of surprise in his eyes.
No matter what, she never imagined that Sun Yaotian's so-called gift turned out to be...
