Chapter 170 Gift
Hao Jian, who had knocked over several tables, climbed up while holding his swollen left face and said:
"You dare to hit me? You're dead. My cousin will make you suffer when he comes."
"Hao Jian, that's enough. If you keep making trouble, I'll ask you to leave."
At this time, the person welcoming guests at the door shouted loudly:
"Hao Yong, the eldest son of the Hao family, has arrived—"
Hao Jian turned around and ran to the door and said:
"Cousin, you just came. That kid took your seat. I kindly reminded him but got beaten up like this. Please make the decision for me!"
Hao Yong looked so superior and arrogant. He just glanced at Hao Jian and walked straight to Wan'er. "Miss Wan'er, I'm so sorry that I'm late."
You shouldn't hit someone who's smiling, especially since they were invited by the Situ family. Wan'er bowed slightly and said, "Mr. Hao Yong, you're too polite. Please take a seat!"
Hao Yong nodded, took a deep look at Ian beside Wan'er and said nothing, but Hao Jian behind him couldn't help it, pointed at Ian and said: "Cousin, he..."
"Shut up, you disgrace, get out of here."
After being scolded by Hao Yong, he could only return to his seat at the back in shame.
Another person came in through the door, "Master Lan from Lan Yan Peak in Donghai City has arrived!"
Ian's heart tightened: Here it comes!
Selina said, "Brother, what's wrong?"
"It's this person, and his last name is Lan..."
Wan'er knew this person, of course. She looked at Ian and then at Lan Yanfeng, then stood up to greet him. "Mr. Lan, I am very grateful for your presence. Please take a seat!"
Lan Yanfeng exchanged some polite words and sat at another table in the front row, fanning himself gently with a folding fan in his hand. He looked very elegant and attracted everyone to discuss in low voices.
"Mr. Gu from the Tianlong Chamber of Commerce has arrived..."
Gu Neis, also wearing a mask, strode in with two beautiful assistants. Almost everyone in the audience stood up to greet them. No one ignored this new mysterious force.
Ian and Selina were the only ones who did not stand up. Of course, Gu Ness saw the two of them and simply sat at Lan Yanfeng's table.
Then, the receptionist called out the names of the distinguished guests one after another. The five tables in the first row were all full, and most people had arrived.
Situ Gaofei first said a few polite words on the stage in front, and then let everyone enjoy the show prepared for everyone.
The scene was very lively. Almost all the famous families, big families, and big forces in Huanglong City were present. With such a good opportunity, everyone chatted very deeply. Of course, there were some awkward seats, such as Ian's table and Gu Ness's table.
It’s not that no one came to talk to Gu Neisi, but he was unwilling to communicate with others, which made everyone feel that he was even more mysterious.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Wan'er also came on stage, bowed slightly to the guests and said:
"Thank you, elders and friends for coming to Wan'er's birthday party. Wan'er will sing a song to liven up the party and express her gratitude!"
Xiaohong brought up a guqin and Xiaolu carried up tables and chairs. The whole audience suddenly became quiet and listened attentively!
The piano music was cheerful and beautiful; even people who did not understand music could feel the joyful atmosphere. Suddenly, the rhythm quickened, like the rising wind and clouds, the yellow sand filling the sky, and then the war of swords and iron horses.
Everyone closed their eyes and felt the sound of the piano as it continued with "Ambush from All Sides", and the listeners' hearts were in their throats.
Then slowly...slowly...the rhythm gradually slowed down, as if the clouds and mist had parted to reveal the blue sky...
The song ends... Put away the piano...
There was thunderous applause at the scene!
Hao Jian stood up and said, "Ms. Wan'er is worthy of being the most talented woman in Huanglong City. Today is her birthday. I have prepared a small gift for you. Please accept it!"
After saying that, a white and transparent hairpin with a turquoise color appeared on the table. The whole shape looked like a fairy phoenix.
"This is the Nanhai Yingbi hairpin. Legend has it that it was a gift from the King of Nanhai to the princess a thousand years ago."
Hao Jian listened to the people next to him who knew this historical story and followed along with it, with a look of pride on his face.
"Then I am sorry to show off my ugliness..."
……
Everyone present donated money, and no item was duplicated, let alone ordinary items.
The people in the dozen or so rows behind had finished showing off their gifts, and when it was the turn of the people in the first row, their gifts were even more luxurious.
Hao Yong couldn't help it and took out his treasure - Dou Qinghua.
Taking this flower can greatly delay aging. Which woman wouldn’t like it?
Hao Yong's handwriting really made everyone envious, and even Wan'er couldn't help but bow to express her gratitude.
Gu Neisi sneered, "It's just Dou Qinghua, what's so special about it."
Hao Yong said unconvincedly: "I guess this person must be Mr. Gu, the boss of the Tianlong Chamber of Commerce. He is just as shameful as someone else."
Ian didn't say anything, drinking his fruit wine by himself, while Selina next to him released a chilling murderous aura. Gu Ness sneered:
"Kid, you have to be responsible for what you say. Be careful not to get into trouble."
"Oh! Then I'll see what trouble this will bring."
Situ Gaofei watched all this with great interest, while others were eagerly waiting. Young Master Meng clapped his hands, "Great, great! Huanglong City hasn't been so lively for a long time. Hahahaha, I heard that the Tianlong Chamber of Commerce is very mysterious. I wonder what gift Mr. Gu brought for Miss Wan'er?"
"Yes, yes, let's open everyone's eyes!"
This kind of xenophobic situation can be found everywhere, not to mention that the Tianlong Chamber of Commerce is a bit high-profile.
Gu Neisi didn't waste any words. His space bracelet lit up, and a noble dress appeared in his hand. He shook his hands and opened the dress. "This is a set of Guangxi embroidered pearl silk fairy dress. This dress not only highlights Miss Wan'er's extraordinary and otherworldly appearance, but also has the magical effect of keeping her warm in winter and hot in summer. More importantly, this dress is a top-grade spiritual treasure that can provide autonomous body protection. It is just right for Miss Wan'er."
Everyone was stunned. What a big deal! Even Ian couldn't help but complain:
"I gave you a magic weapon to protect you, and you also gave someone a magic weapon to protect you. You are really generous."
Hao Yong felt deflated and sat down with a snort. Ian couldn't help laughing.
"Hey, what are you laughing at? The things haven't been delivered yet? Are you not presentable? Do you still have the nerve to laugh at me?"
Hao Yong no longer had the calm demeanor he had before and took his anger out on Ian.
"I have a mouth, so I can laugh whenever I want. As for the gift, there's no rush. If I take it out now, others will be too embarrassed to take it out."
It would not matter if Ian did not say anything, but once he said it, he offended everyone and immediately attracted all kinds of abuse. Even Lan Yanfeng could not help but say:
"In that case, I, Lan, will show off my ugliness first, so that I won't be embarrassed to show it later."
