For a big family like the Xiao family, the seventieth birthday of the old man of the Xiao family is not just a simple birthday banquet, it is also a time to link up with all parties and prove the strength of the family.
The birthday banquet was not held in a luxury hotel, but was held inside the Xiao family compound. Considering the size of the compound, it was large enough.
If it were previous years.
Holding such a grand banquet must be the most exciting time for the Xiao family, but this year, there is a deep sadness hidden under the same smile.
The second child of the Xiao family is still missing. He has relied on many connections and a lot of manpower to find out where he is. Xiao Lin, the eldest grandson of the Xiao family, is still recovering from his injuries in the backyard. The pain that he keeps making makes people tremble when he hears it.
.
Almost all of the descendants have problems.
even so.
Xiao Tianwen and Xiao Chengxue were still receiving guests in the main hall.
In any case, today is a big day, and the guests here are not light. Before, most of them were people who came to curry favor with the Xiao family, but today it is different.
The Xiao family is about to be in trouble, and even Xiao Tianwen personally picks up every guest and maintains a good relationship with everyone.
All this.
It's all caused by bad luck.
"Could it be."
"The Xiao family really did something wrong back then. If they had known that Xiao Yun would be as powerful as he is today, would they have done what they did back then?"
Just when Xiao Tianwen was thinking wildly, the sound of footsteps came: "Oh, brother Xiao, I haven't seen you for a year, but you are looking more and more healthy."
A man who looked younger than Xiao Tianwen walked in, followed by several people of about the same age. Each of them had an extraordinary temperament, and they should usually be people in high positions.
"Haha, brothers, we won't go home until we get drunk tonight." Xiao Tianwen walked up with a hurried smile, and Xiao Chengxue accompanied him with a smile.
These half-old men have been Xiao Tianwen's friends for many years.
He is also a business partner for many years and is a very important guest to the Xiao family.
In a short while.
Another twenty or thirty guests came, some of whom were guests of Xiao Chengxue and some of whom were friends of Xiao Tianwen, and the Xiao family courtyard became lively for a while.
Xiao Tianwen and his son looked at each other with a smile.
The Xiao family is still the Xiao family.
The Xiao family, the strongest in Haicheng, has experienced some things during this period, but the Xiao family is still here, and their heritage is still there.
Everyone took their seats.
"Old brothers, let's chat first. There are a lot of guests today, so I have to wait outside." In the hall, Xiao Tianwen cupped his hands towards everyone and said with a smile.
"Brother Tianwen."
"Whoever comes, just let him come by himself. You, Xiao Tianwen, are the pillar of the Xiao family and the number one figure in this sea city. Who can let you wait?" The old man who came in first said loudly.
This man's surname is Tian. Although his family business is not in Haicheng, he is also a big shot in a city adjacent to Haicheng.
"Ha, Brother Tian was just joking. I don't think you should take this sentence seriously." Xiao Tianwen laughed.
This attitude made everyone else sitting down curious. Xiao Tianwen usually looked like the best in the world and was extremely domineering. Why did he seem to be a different person today?
Most of them were not from Haicheng and did not know what happened to the Xiao family during this period.
"Father."
"Why don't you just stay here with your uncles? I can just go and socialize with you about the outside matters." Xiao Chengxue said with a smile, and everyone quickly agreed.
Xiao Tianwen thought for a while and found a seat to sit down.
Just then.
"By the way, Chengxue, last time I came here, I saw your Xiao Lin, the dragon son of the Xiao family, busy. Where did he go today?" The old man surnamed Tian asked with a smile. Xiao Chengxue's cheeks twitched at this question.
: "Quanzi, I was injured by a gangster a few days ago, and I'm recovering from my injuries now."
"What?"
"Someone dares to touch a member of the Xiao family. Isn't this a move on Tai Sui's head? Who is such a bastard? Uncle Tian will stand up for you." The old man surnamed Tian yelled and cursed.
Although he said it in anger, he was obviously flattering.
But others are not surprised. After all, the Xiao family is the number one family in Haicheng, and everyone wants to flatter them.
but.
Some people also discovered something was wrong.
If it were a birthday banquet in previous years, the descendants of the Xiao family would have gathered in the Xiao family compound, but today... although it was also crowded, no real descendants of the Xiao family were seen.
Xiao family, what happened?
Then everyone couldn't help but smile, this is the Xiao family, what big thing can happen.
"Eh."
"The four Haicheng families, Xiaolin Prince Zheng, why haven't the other three families come yet?" The old man surnamed Tian asked curiously.
Speaking of which.
Xiao Tianwen couldn't help but frown slightly. He sent invitations to these three families, so why haven't they shown up yet?
I just said this.
Suddenly a loud voice came from outside: "Head of the Wang family, come to pay your respects to Mr. Xiao on his birthday."
Once you hear this.
Xiao Tianwen suddenly laughed and hurriedly started to go out to greet him. Everyone in the hall also hurriedly followed.
"Wang's nephew."
"Why did you come here in person? It really makes this humble house shine."
Then Wang Sheng came in with his son: "There are important people here, how dare Wang Sheng not come in person."
Wang Sheng said a word.
Xiao Tianwen was so proud that he didn't even dare to smile. The guests who came before also had their own thoughts.
The Xiao family is indeed different.
The head of the Wang family, who is the fourth family, also came in person and said that Mr. Xiao was a big shot...
It seems that after a while, you need to work harder to flatter me.
But it took a minute.
Someone sang again: "The head of the Zheng family has come to pay his birthday to the old man."
The two families of Zheng and Wang seemed to have made an appointment.
This makes people lament the extraordinary power of the Xiao family. Two of the four families have come, and the head of the family has come in person. Everyone knows that the other Lin family is an in-law of the Xiao family and will definitely come.
Follow closely.
People kept coming to congratulate them. Some people were known to the Xiao family, and some had never even come to play with the Xiao family before. In the end, what surprised the Xiao family the most was that even the five cities in Haicheng and the Xiao family had come to visit before.
The merchants who had severed cooperation also came.
"snort."
"These rats have already stopped cooperating with the Xiao family, so what are they doing here?"
"Father, do you want me to kick them out?" Xiao Chengxue said.
"Eh."
"We are guests. Today is my birthday. We should treat others with tolerance." Xiao Tianwen said with a smile.
Look at the situation at today's birthday banquet.
The Xiao family is still the same Xiao family, the overlord of Haicheng. How can such power be matched by that little boy Xiao Yunneng?
The guests all arrived at about the same time.
only.
In the end, only his own Lin family did not show up, which made Xiao Tianwen very unhappy.
Lin family.
Xiao Xuan looked at her mother with a puzzled look on her face: "Mom, today is grandpa's birthday. It doesn't matter if grandpa's family doesn't send anyone to go. Why don't we go?"
"My grandpa and uncle will be jealous of me."
"Jealous?"
"After tonight, the Xiao family will no longer be the Xiao family."
Not to mention that the Lin family has no plans to attend the birthday banquet.
This side of the courtyard.
When a name rang out, the expressions of Xiao Tianwen and Xiao Chengxue changed immediately.
"Xiao Yun."
"Come here to wish the old man of the Xiao family a happy birthday!"
