Now, Li Nan's mother Qi Xuemei has not only been promoted to manager, but also moved into a new house on Meixiang peninsula. It can be said that the conditions of their family have changed dramatically today.
In this way, Qi Xuemei has more confidence in her mother's house.
Therefore, Li Nan thinks that this should be the reason why his parents decided to go to Shanghai to celebrate grandpa's birthday this year.
"I see. I'll pick you up tomorrow morning!" Li Nan agreed directly.
"Well, first of all, you should have a rest early." Li Kangning said and hung up directly.
Looking at the hung up phone, Li Nan has a complicated complexion.
To tell the truth, he really doesn't want to go back to Shanghai for Grandpa's birthday at all.
Because in the previous years, every time they went back, they were treated badly. Even the grandfather had a very cold attitude towards their family.
As a result, Li Nan has a strong resistance to his mother's family. If possible, he really doesn't want to have any contact with them at all.
But now, since my mother has made such a decision, Li Nan certainly doesn't say much. After all, those are my mother's blood relatives.
Li Nan only hopes that after all these years, those people's attitudes can be slightly improved.
Early the next morning, Li Nan went out with his BMW 8 series.
Before going out, Li Nan also handed over a jade Buddha in his living room.
This jade Buddha is a gift that Lu Jiangshan asked Lu Jianghai to bring to him from Yanjing after the matter of Lu Jiangshan was successfully solved last time.
After all, Li Nan wished his grandfather a birthday this time. He couldn't go there empty handed, so he took the Jade Buddha with him. Anyway, he didn't like art.
After going out, Li Nan took the lead in coming to Meixiang Peninsula community to pick up his parents.
Today's parents have changed into new clothes. Obviously, they are specially prepared for Grandpa's birthday today.
Even her sister Li Xue has changed into a goose yellow dress. The whole person looks like a little princess.
"Brother!" Li Xue greeted Li Nan when she saw Li Nan all the way.
After the family got on the bus, Li Nan drove towards the Shanghai sea.
Huhai is adjacent to Longcheng. It's more than two hours' drive. It's neither far nor near.
Qi Xuemei's mother's house is almost on the outskirts of Shanghai.
Qi Xuemei's father, Qi Huachang, Li Nan's grandfather, was a little famous in the system before, but when he retired, he was just a deputy.
Rao is so. For the whole Qi family, it can be regarded as a matter of glorifying the lintel. At least in ten miles and eight townships, Qi Huachang's name is still great.
Moreover, Qi Huachang's sons and daughters are quite promising. Up to now, the whole Qi family has developed into a big family and a great cause. Among the villagers, they are definitely famous people.
This is the reason why Qi Xuemei violated Qi Huachang's wishes and had to marry Li Kangning, a poor boy. Qi Huachang would be very angry.
Because in Qi Huachang's opinion, their whole family is so big that they can be worthy of their whole family. Even if they are not rich CHILDES, they should also be rich people. But Qi Xuemei found a poor Li Kangning. In Qi Huachang's opinion, it is a scandal that humiliates the family!
Therefore, after so many years, Qi Huachang still resents his daughter's decision at that time.
Although it is in the suburbs and mountains, the Qi family's residence is not vague at all. The whole courtyard is antique and covers a large area. It is the most luxurious residence in ten miles and eight townships.
The ancestors of the Qi family once had a good reputation, a squire and a scholar. Therefore, the rules of the whole family are relatively strict.
Every year on Qi Huachang's birthday, Qi's children and descendants, no matter where they are, will come back to celebrate his birthday.
When they came to the Qi family, many cars had stopped at the gate of the courtyard. It seems that many Qi families have arrived.
After parking the car, the Linan family went directly into the courtyard.
At the moment, there are several tables and many people sitting in the ancient courtyard.
Originally, the people in the whole yard were talking and laughing, but when Qi Xuemei and his family appeared, there was a moment of peace in the whole yard.
"Isn't this aunt's family? I haven't seen you for years. Why did you suddenly come back this year? "
"Yes, Grandpa was unhappy with their family, but they still have to appear. Isn't this purely blocking grandpa?"
"You don't know yet. I heard that my aunt's family has improved a little this year, so I feel a little confident."
"Getting better? I heard that my aunt was a rag picker before. How can it be better if it improves? "
"Who knows, maybe you made a fortune by picking up junk, ha ha..."
The conversation of the younger generation around them naturally fell to Qi Xuemei's ears. However, they didn't take it to heart. Anyway, they were used to the group ridicule of their mother's family.
At this time, several figures got up and greeted them.
"Sister, you're finally here!" It turned out to be my aunt Qi Xiumei.
"It's great that you can come back, hahaha..." Cao Dafu was smiling.
Today's aunts have a respectful attitude towards Li Nan. After all, it was because of Li Nan's relationship that Cao Dafu won the large order of Roche Group last time, which made Cao Dafu's profit rise several times in an instant, and the future prospect is even greater. In Cao Dafu's eyes, Li Nan is just like their God of wealth, This makes them how to be disrespectful.
Cao Ke, on the other side, looked a little ugly at the moment.
Last time at the Shangri La cocktail party, he had seen Li Nan's means. Even big star Lin Shiyun could personally invite him, and he was also qualified to attend the rooftop cocktail party. Cao Ke already felt that his cousin was not simple.
"Well, sister, my father, they are sitting in the main hall. I'll take you in." Qi Xiumei said and led the way with a smiling face.
Li Nan's family followed and entered the main hall.
At the moment, the left and right sides of the main hall are also full of people, including elders and Li Nan's peers.
In the middle, on a master's chair, an old man was sitting on it.
The old man is over seventy and his hair is gray, but the whole man is hale and hearty. The whole man looks a little angry.
This old man is Li Nan's grandfather, Qi Huachang.
"Dad, elder sister, their family has come to congratulate you on your birthday!" Qi xiumeixing said happily.
"Dad, I brought Xiaonan Xiaoxue and they came to pay your birthday!" Qi Xuemei said this and hurriedly motioned to Li Nan and Li Xue.
"I wish grandpa happiness and longevity!" Li Nan and Li Xue hurried forward to salute.
"Yes." Qi Huachang just answered faintly, and there was not much expression on his face.
"Xiumei said that your family has improved a little this year?" After a while, Qi Huachang asked.
"Well, I have been promoted to manager at work, and I have a new house at home in Shanghai." According to the rules, every child and his younger generation should report their achievements and achievements in the past year, so Qi Xuemei also said her own things.
But unexpectedly, after listening to Qi Xuemei's words, Qi Huachang directly sneered.
"Manager? How much I look like, I'm just a manager. How promising can a manager be in your small hot pot shop? " Qi Huachang thought it was ridiculous.
Qi Xuemei was so said by Qi Huachang that she had to bow her head and be silent.
"And you?" Qi Huachang looked at Li Kangning, "what have you achieved this year?"
"I..." Li Kangning was asked directly and couldn't speak.
It's true that Li Kangning's physical condition has been very poor in the past year. He had an operation and lived in the hospital for so long some time ago. He really didn't do anything big.
Qi Huachang directly sneered, "a big man let a woman feed him. I really don't know what ecstasy soup Xuemei drank before she fell in love with you!"
