The birthday feast had finally started without any surprises.

After what Old Master Zhao had done, the atmosphere of the birthday banquet had become much more relaxed.

The dishes were brought up one by one.

Old Master Zhao first started the table with a cup of white wine, then everyone started to eat and drink.

Even though Old Master Zhao was seventy years old, his physique was still very strong and his spirit was also very clear when he drank wine.

Of course, there were hundreds of people present, and he couldn't possibly drink all of them. Of course, there were hundreds of people present, and he couldn't possibly drink all of them.

Xu Taiping couldn't help but admire Old Man Zhao from the bottom of his heart. No wonder this person was able to become the head of the Zhao Family, he wasn't someone an ordinary person could compare with.

It wasn't that Xu Taiping hadn't seen the so-called aristocratic families before, but even the children of aristocratic families had bad tempers, not to mention the family head of the aristocratic families.

The Zhao Clan gave Xu Taiping an unprecedented feeling of bliss. Xu Taiping had the feeling that if he ever had a family of his own, he would do what the Zhao Clan had done.

For the Zhao Family's birthday banquet, the food and wine were all very good. There were treasured mountains and delicacies from the sea. What surprised Xu Taiping the most was that he did not feel any extravagance at all.

Every dish was cooked very well. Even though the dishes were chosen with great care, just speaking of the dishes, you could basically eat them during a birthday banquet. For example, the Red Braised Pig's elbow, the Soy Sauce Ribs, the Egg Fried Rice, and so on.

Of course, the dishes were well-grounded, but the method was very meticulous.

Xu Taiping didn't feel annoyed about the Egg Fried Rice though. There was no egg yolk in it at all, only pure egg white. The rice grains were clear and fragrant. Xu Taiping asked around and found out that there were more than 30 ways to cook the Egg Fried Rice.

This was definitely the most exquisite Egg Fried Rice that Xu Taiping had ever eaten.

The wine for this birthday banquet did not have a Maotai nor any Five Grains Liquid, only the rice wine personally brewed by the Zhao Family. The rice wine was mellow, had a soft taste, did not taste too high, and had a good taste. There were several vats for each table, and they were all filled with the most authentic clay vats. It was said that a certain year had passed by, and someone had once wanted to buy a vat from the Zhao Family for over a hundred thousand dollars.

With enough wine and delicious dishes, coupled with the fact that everyone's enthusiasm had been aroused by the previous incidents, everyone was able to eat very comfortably.

Seeing that it was about time, Xu Taiping raised his glass and walked over to Old Master Zhao's side, "Old Master, I wish you good luck like the East Sea and a better life than Nanshan."

"Call me uncle." Old Master Zhao purposely said with a straight face.

"Bo …" "Uncle." After all, he had never called anyone this in his life before, and this uncle of his was a seventy year old man with a high collar.

"Even though you didn't change your surname and come back, you must remember that in your body flowed my Zhao Family's bloodline. No matter what, you are still a member of my Zhao Family. My Zhao Family's rules are also binding on you." Old Man Zhao said.

"Um, old man, I don't really want to be kept in check." Xu Taiping said.

"My Zhao Family's rules are very simple." "My Zhao Family will never ask any one of our clansmen to become a great man. And regardless of where you are, regardless of whether you're surnamed Zhao or not, my Zhao Family will always be your strongest and strongest backer!"

Xu Taiping was shocked. He never thought that the rules of the Zhao Family would be like this. He thought that there would be some sort of people vowing allegiance to the Zhao Family, but they turned out to be nothing.

The meaning was very simple. It was fine as long as he didn't do any harm.

"I can!" Xu Taiping held the wine cup and said, "Old Master, let me toast you."

"Sigh, if only your father was still alive." Old Master Zhao sighed, then he picked up the wine cup and took a big gulp.

"Have a drink, young and old." Xu Taiping quickly said.

Old Master Zhao drank a large gulp of rice wine. He had already drunk quite a bit before, so his face was flushed red. He raised his hand to pat Xu Taiping on the shoulder, "When your father was born, you didn't know, but I was sad."

Hearing Old Master Zhao's words, Xu Taiping's expression changed slightly. His father was born, was Old Master Zhao sad?

"How I wish I could have a little sister, but when your father was born, he was a man, aiya!" Old Master Zhao sighed.

Xu Taiping couldn't hold back his laughter.

After me, every single one of them is a man. You don't know, I think too much about having a younger sister, but we have many brothers, and your father is the most rebellious of us all. He thinks about being an ordinary person every day, isn't that a joke? In the end, he left the Zhao Family and became the first member of the Zhao Family to have truly left the Zhao Family. In fact, I was very angry at the time because I watched him grow up, and your father and I, your grandfather and your uncle, are not far from each other. So, your father is just like my own child, when he left the Zhao Family, the most heartbroken person in the entire Zhao Family was me! Your father had the courage to leave just like that. He didn't bring anything from the Zhao Family with him, and he disappeared for so many years without leaving a trace. Even the eyes and ears of the Zhao Family didn't find him. But unfortunately, your father was unlucky and died early on. It's peaceful. Tell me, how does your dad not have it? "

"Sick." Xu Taiping said, "As far as I can remember, my dad was always in bad health. He got sick all the time, and then died within a few years. My mom was too upset, so she quickly left with my dad."

"Sick?" Old man Zhao frowned, "I can't guarantee that our Zhao Family's bloodline will be good to some extent, but, after so many years, the Zhao Family has thousands of bloodlines, but none of them have a inherited disease, and they are all in good health. When your father left that year, I still remember, he was strong like a monkey, how can he be sick so easily?"

"I don't know either. I just remember that my dad was very thin, skinny, and kept coughing every day in my memory. He smoked a lot, even if he kept coughing all the time. Maybe it's a lung disease. " Xu Taiping said.

"Have you investigated your father's death?" Old Master Zhao asked.

"No check, my dad has been buried for so many years, I don't want to touch him, and my mom also said that my dad wants to stay in a place and be an ordinary person for the rest of his life. So, no matter what happens in the future, don't disturb my dad. "And her." Xu Taiping said.

"Your mother... "Xu Qingzhi?" Old Master Zhao asked.

"Yes." Xu Taiping nodded.

"Xu Qingzhi, ah, Xu Qingzhi. If it weren't for this woman, perhaps your father wouldn't have had the courage to leave the Zhao Clan in the end. She's an incredible woman." Old Man Zhao said.

"Are there still people at my mom's side?" Xu Taiping asked.

When your mother first met your father, that family was already no longer able to handle it. They had probably wanted to use your mother to cling onto our Zhao Family and see if they could come back to life, but who would have thought that your mother would have kidnapped your father from the Zhao Family. From then on, the Xu Family was no longer able to handle it, having gone bankrupt more than ten years ago. Old Man Zhao said.

Xu Taiping sighed as he listened to Old Master Zhao's words. His mother actually had no relatives left, so even though the clan was in decline, it still hadn't declined.

Let's not talk about that anymore, peace, if there's anything you can't deal with in the future, come find us at the Zhao Family. Just come find us at the Zhao Family, everyone in the Zhao Family will be your support. Old Man Zhao said.

"Zhao Yongliang?" "He's not dead yet?" Xu Taiping asked in surprise.

"My son won't die that easily." Zhao Taiji interjected.

Xu Taiping looked at Zhao Taiji and found that he was also looking at him.

"Don't worry, my son was in the wrong, he violated the clan's rules, so no matter what you do to him, I will not interfere. But what's worth celebrating is that Yong Liang is still alive, and I must say, our Zhao Family's bloodline is indeed extraordinary. Yong Liang, a useless person, was actually able to unleash such a strong potential even when he was in dire straits." Zhao Taiji said.

Xu Taiping looked at Zhao Taiji. He could feel that Zhao Taiji was telling the truth.

Zhao Taiji didn't look like those so-called second generation rich parents who only cared about their own children. This made Xu Taiping feel that Zhao Taiji didn't embarrass the Zhao Family.

"If you can't cut a piece of jade, if you don't polish Yonglian, then his life is over." Old Man Zhao said.

"Father, you are right!" Zhao Taiji quickly nodded.

"Uncle, I'm going to have a drink with my cousins. Please drink less!" Xu Taiping bid farewell to Old Man Zhao, then turned and walked over to Zhao Taiji's side.

"Have a drink, cousin." Xu Taiping said.

"You didn't lose any members of our Zhao Family. Very good." Zhao Taiji looked at Xu Taiping and said calmly.

"I did it all for myself. I didn't think of anything for the Zhao Family." Xu Taiping said.

Zhao Taiji twitched his mouth, then he picked up the wine glass and drank a cup with Xu Taiping.

Xu Taiping didn't stay for long. He drank a cup with Zhao Taiji, then went to find Zhao Taiheng and have a drink with him.

After finishing his meal, Xu Taiping walked over to Zhao Taixu's side.

"Did the Old Master Zhao reveal my identity?" Xu Taiping sat beside Zhao Taixu and asked.

"I don't know, but it should be the Old Master. To be honest, the Old Master also seems to want you to return to the surname Zhao, but one thing is certain, the Old Master won't force you. If he did, then today would not be the case." Zhao Taixu said.

Xu Taiping nodded. Just as he was about to speak, a loud alarm rang in the yard! Mobile users please browse and read, better reading experience.
