Chapter 528

Located on the west side of Zhangjia manor, the courtyard is well lit just as night falls. Today, more than a dozen round tables with rich dishes are set up in this originally spacious square. On the rostrum in front of the main table, there are big characters of longevity. Some guests have come to the table one after another. The scene has gradually changed from desolate to lively.

Zhang Genshuo, the head of the Zhangjia family, who is today's birthday star, is dressed in a brown red Tang suit with gold coins on it, which looks quite rich and noble. He stood at the gate of the courtyard, red faced, welcoming all the guests.

Although it is said that it is guests from all sides, in fact, they are all neighbors in the same village in this area. The birthday gifts they carry are rather shabby, and some even come to the birthday party with two pairs of pork. It seems that it is not very elegant, and it does not reflect the cultural heritage and sensational scene of Zhang's big family at all.

Zhang Genshuo welcomed people with a smile, but actually everyone could see that his smile was very stiff. But also, I think that Zhangjia was an absolute big family in the suburb of Ninghai. It was full of provincial and municipal dignitaries, businessmen and rich people. How could it be like now that even ordinary villagers have to greet each other with a smile? In order to keep the birthday party from being too cold to be outrageous, we have to be aggrieved.

Xiao Qiang sat at the banquet beside the main table, knocking melon seeds and tasting tea, completely a guest posture. He looked at the door with Zhang Genshuo welcome, wearing a red cheongsam sexy attractive Zhang Jingyi that Miaoman posture, not from the mouth of the melon seed shell spit fly to the ground, his face is not happy.

Of course, he is not upset that he was not arranged to accompany Zhang Jingyi to the reception, but that he now finds out that his position has been arranged at the second table. It's nothing. After all, he's not from Zhangjia, so it's OK not to go to the main table. But the most irritating thing is that Liu Qi is so careless! They are also foreign guests. Why can you sit at the main table?

However, Xiao Qiang is not stupid either. Of course, he knows that this is his punishment for driving away Zhang Guolun and Zhang Genshuo. Or maybe Zhang Genshuo didn't take him seriously at all, just regarded him as an ordinary college student with no ability. Who knows?

"Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang. We're late." Just when Xiao Qiang was in a bad mood, a group of about seven or eight old men came to Zhang Genshuo with birthday gifts. One of them hugged his fist and said, "old man, we've given you enough face today. We've specially selected a good baby to be your birthday gift. We agreed, In the birthday ceremony, we must introduce a treasure appraiser to us, so as to broaden our horizons. "

Zhang Genshuo looked embarrassed when he heard this. He coughed and said with a smile, "come on, old people, my granddaughter Zhang Jingyi, some people haven't seen her, have they? How about the water? This is my grandson Zhang Shuai. Ha ha, is he as handsome as his name? Jingyi, Zhang Shuai, these are your grandfather's old friends playing with jade. "

"Hello, grandfathers." Zhang Shuai and Zhang Jingyi smile and speak respectfully. The smile on Zhang Shuai's face looks like Schadenfreude, while Zhang Jingyi's smile is a little stiff. Obviously, they all know that after Zhang Guolun is driven away, grandfather will lose face in front of these old guys.

"Old man, you are a big family. Your granddaughter is beautiful and your grandson is handsome. We can't compete with you!" Some of Zhang Genshuo's old playmates said, "but we have the same hobby of playing Jade. Today you can't hide your secrets. You must introduce the master treasure appraiser to us. Let's learn more. We will certainly benefit a lot!"

Zhang Genshuo saw that they were still reluctant to say so, and his smile gradually disappeared. After looking at Zhang Jingyi awkwardly, he sighed helplessly, "maybe we'll be disappointed. That... The treasure appraiser has something to do and can't come to my birthday party. He just informed me. I'm sorry."

"Ah? How can it be“ That is, we have been waiting for today for a long time! "“ Isn't that a lie? That day, I don't know who was the proud and assured one? "“ The old man is stingy. He doesn't want to hire a treasure appraiser in his family. I don't believe he won't come if he spends more money? "

For a moment, these old playmates of Zhang Genshuo showed their dissatisfaction one after another, which made him feel like he couldn't get off the stage.

Looking at her grandfather being questioned by these old playmates, Zhang Jingyi was in a bad mood. Zhang Genshuo had some anger and said angrily, "I said to you, we have been friends for many years. Will I cheat you for no reason? There's something wrong with the treasurer. Do you think I don't want him to come? If you think I've been rude, you don't have to give me this birthday present. My family still welcomes you! "

Seeing that Zhang Genshuo said so much, these old playmates all knew that it was not good to pursue further, and they all walked into the courtyard with a straight face. Although everyone didn't say anything, it's obvious that this feeling is diluted by this matter.

"Grandfather..." Zhang Jingyi some guilty want to voice comfort, but the result in exchange for is Zhang Genshuo dissatisfied stare.

"What do you want me to do? Do you and your friend have to make me angry at the birthday party to be happy? I don't want to be annoyed with this birthday party next year! " Zhang Genshuo left angrily, not willing to take another look at Zhang Jingyi.

Zhang Jingyi's wronged eyes were red, and her tears were swirling in her beautiful eyes. Zhang Shuai looked at her and sighed, "sister, how do you know this kind of friend? I don't know if I'm helping you every day, but my grandfather is so unhappy. You don't know grandfather's temper. The most important thing is his face. It's more painful for him to lose face in front of these old playmates than slapping them in the face? I think it's better for you to stay away from Xiao Qiang as soon as possible. This guy is a bad guy. It's no good to go there... "

"Stop it!" Zhang Jingyi shook her head with red eyes, stabilized her mood and said, "I know who I want to make friends with. I don't need you to teach me. The birthday party is about to start. You... You should accompany your grandfather more to make him happy. "

Zhang Shuai nodded and went to the main table with Zhang Jingyi without saying anything. At this time, Zhang Jingyi found that Xiao Qiang didn't sit at the main table, but at the next table. Just about to make a sound, she heard Zhang Genshuo, who was sitting at the main table, say, "Jingyi, sit next to President Liu. I'd like to accompany Mr. Liu at this dinner party. People come all the way here. Don't neglect me. "

"Grandfather..." Zhang Jingyi just wanted to refuse, but when she saw Zhang Genshuo's undoubted eyes sweeping, she could only bite the pink lips wrongly and sat down beside Liu Qi.

Liu Qihe laughs happily and takes a sip of tea. Smelling the body fragrance from Zhang Jingyi beside him, he feels very comfortable. At this time, he also deliberately swept his eyes at Xiao Qiang, who was on the second seat. The elements of deliberate demonstration obviously occupied the majority.

It's a pity that he wanted to be angry with Xiao Qiang, but Xiao Qiang didn't seem to see it at all. He still knocked on melon seeds leisurely, as if he didn't know it at all.

Dress up, you pick up the dress! Liu qihen's teeth itch, but he still smiles on the surface. He takes the initiative to chat with Zhang Jingyi. His purpose is very clear, that is, he wants to kill Xiao Qiang.

Yu Bo, the housekeeper standing next to Zhang Genshuo, looked at his watch. After obtaining his consent, he announced, "the auspicious time has come. The dinner party for Mr. Zhang's 78th birthday is officially..."

"Hahaha, Mr. Zhang, it's really a big show to hold such a big birthday party! We are in a hurry, but at last we are there! " Just as Yu Bo was about to announce the start of the dinner, a burst of hearty laughter broke the prelude of the dinner.

"Lao Yu, haven't all the guests arrived yet?" Zhang Genshuo frowned, turned his head and asked the housekeeper Yu Bo who was standing beside him, "how come there are still guests who didn't arrive and didn't say a word?"

"Well... Sir, I remember very well that all the guests we invited are here, and there are not many of them?" Yu Bo also said blankly, "they should be uninvited guests, right?"

"Uninvited? Is that possible? " Zhang Genshuo laughed and said, "Lao Yu, do you still think that Zhang Jia was ten years ago? My old Zhang still has that face. How can someone come here uninvited? That's all. Let's go to the door with me. "

"Grandfather, I'll go with you." Zhang Jingyi couldn't sit down because she was next to Liu Qi, so she quickly got up and volunteered.
