Chapter 284 The smell of gunpowder on the birthday banquet
Two days later, the head of the Li family, Li Changsheng, celebrated his birthday.
The usually quiet suburbs of Yanjing suddenly became bustling with traffic.
The front door of Li's house in Yanjing was even more crowded.
"Please report it and let us meet Mr. Li!"
…
"Everyone, let me first thank you for your kindness on behalf of my master! Only those with invitations to my Li family's birthday banquet are eligible to enjoy it!" the servant at the door of the courtyard said with a condescending look.
Even if he is a slave, he is still a slave of the Li family. No matter how noble these people are in front of others, they still cannot enter the door of the Li family without an invitation.
Every year on the birthdays of the heads of the five major families, there are always some people or forces who want to try their luck and rise to the top, and try every means to gain access to the Li family compound.
Even if you really have the opportunity to meet Li Changsheng, even if you don't even talk to him, others will still be in awe.
This is the deterrent power of the five major families!
"Father, what is the origin of this Li family? Do we want to come here to suffer?"
"You know nothing! This door is the Dragon Gate. If we cross it, we will become prosperous. You and I don't have to worry about you destroying all my property."
…
"I didn't expect so many people to come!" Jiang Siming was slightly surprised when he saw the sea of people in front of him.
Jiang Siming did not teleport directly to Li's house, but walked over step by step.
After all, Li Changsheng was kind to Jiang Siming. Today was his birthday no matter what, so he still had to show the due respect.
"Please give way!" Jiang Siming pushed through many obstacles and finally squeezed to the door.
Feeling the strange looks from all around, some were surprised and some were mocking. It seemed that what if I squeezed in to the door? I still couldn't get through the door of Li's house without an invitation!
The rustling jeers could not be heard, and Jiang Siming naturally did not know them in the same way.
The bright red invitation card with gilded edges made the somewhat noisy scene suddenly become extraordinarily quiet.
"Can I go in?" Jiang Siming said with a smile.
The servants of the Li family were slightly stunned. The distinguished guests from other families had arrived early. There were actually some distinguished guests who had not come to the banquet.
"Of course!" The servant didn't know what to say. He had no doubt that the invitation in Jiang Siming's hand was a fake. No one dared to make the Li family fake.
"etc!"
A sharp voice suddenly sounded, it was the playboy just now.
"I bought this invitation of yours, please give me a price!"
"Asshole!"
"Crack!"
A crisp slap suddenly reminded me that the father of the dandy young man's arms kept shaking, and his eyes were full of panic and fear. He regretted that he should not have brought this dandy son here!
Jiang Siming has already handed over the invitation, but his idiot son still dares to propose a deal. Isn't this a slap in the face of the Li family? It is simply a reckless act.
"Dad! Hit me!" The dandy young man looked in disbelief and burst into tears.
Jiang Siming on the side frowned slightly and said unhappily, "It's Li Changsheng's birthday, are you crying in mourning?"
The servant on the side was shocked, Li Changsheng!
For many years, no one dared to call this person by his name directly. Who is the young man in front of him?
No matter who it is? It is definitely something he cannot afford to offend as a servant!
"Understood! I will drag these two people down right away!" The servant said with a respectful expression at this moment.
"Wait a moment……"
…
Jiang Siming didn't have much mood swings and continued walking in. As for the little episode just now, you will be punished if you do something wrong. This is the rule!
"Young Master! Welcome home. Old slave Li Fu has been waiting for a long time!" An old man who looked like a butler came inside and said with a respectful face.
"Go home? It's a pity that my home is not here! Lead the way!"
"Yes, young master!"
…
"Brother Changsheng, why don't we take advantage of the opportunity and decide on the marriage of the two younger generations. Wouldn't it be better to have double happiness?" Mr. Qin raised his wine glass and said with a smile on his face.
Qin Keqing beside him was slightly absent-minded. Hearing Mr. Qin's words, he immediately looked shy.
"Brother Qin is really anxious and wants to give away his granddaughter so much? Times have changed, what is it called now? Free love! What are we old guys messing around with?" The head of the Ye family suddenly spoke and said in a strange way.
.
"Old Ghost Ye, what you are saying is totally unreasonable! Don't you know what your useless son has married?" the head of the Wang family laughed and said, mocking unscrupulously.
"Hmph! Wang Tianhua, are you deliberately stirring up trouble?" the head of the Liu family said in a low voice with a gloomy expression. The wine glass in his hand had been crushed to pieces at some point.
The head of the Ye family also had a gloomy look on his face. The Ye and Liu families were married, and it would be ridiculous for the Ye family to marry a pig-like daughter-in-law. Now that they are talking about free love, it will feel like they are slapping themselves in the face.
.
"Okay! Today you all are welcome to my birthday banquet. Changsheng will first toast you with a drink." Li Changsheng directly picked up the bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
"Brother Li has a good drinker! But do we still have one person missing from our banquet?" The fat man sitting at the end said in a sinister tone.
"Who does Director Huang think is missing?" The person who spoke was also not a member of the five major families, but an old man in white sitting opposite Huang Wei.
"The third elder should know better than me. After all, you are my leader!" Huang Wei said with a smile, but his smile was full of sarcasm.
"Director Huang is so flattering. How dare I treat you as a subordinate, old man? Are you not on an equal footing with me?" The third elder also retorted unceremoniously.
It was obviously a birthday party, but everyone seemed to be filled with the smell of gunpowder.
"Master, the young master is back!"
"Congratulations to the head of the Li family on his birthday!" Jiang Siming slightly arched his hands and said with a smile.
Qin Keqing, who was beside Mr. Qin, looked lovingly at Jiang Siming, who was walking slowly.
"This is your grandson, old ghost, and he doesn't look like much!" The head of the Ye family snorted coldly and said that his incompetent grandson had lost face and he had to find a way to get it back.
"That's better than Ye Mingshan's boy calling him daddy!"
Wang Tianhua seemed to be at odds with the Ye family and said with laughter again.
"Wang Tianhua, you!" The head of the Ye family was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He who always cares about face the most has lost his dignity today!
"Si Ming, please take a seat?" Li Changsheng pointed to the empty seat next to him and said with a smile.
"Wait a minute! Since I'm here to celebrate my birthday, it's against the rules to come empty-handed!" the head of the Liu family said with a gloomy look on his face.
Li Changsheng, who was originally very happy that Jiang Siming could come, frowned slightly. No matter how strong Jiang Siming was, he didn't have much foundation after all. No matter what he came up with, he couldn't compare to the five major families. And according to Jiang Siming's
Character, it is very likely that you come empty-handed.
The head of the Li family is deliberately trying to embarrass Jiang Siming!
