Chapter 320 A Generous Proposal
Su Bao once told him that if he felt that a ghost was following him, he should never look back casually, otherwise the yang fire on his shoulders would be extinguished.
So Su Yichen remained motionless.
Yao Lingyue tried hard to swallow the food, with some residue still on the corners of her mouth. She stared at Mu Guifan with wide eyes.
"Liar...get out!" she yelled, clenching her fists.
What a disgusting liar, deliberately trying to scare people.
How infuriating!
Mu Guifan: "I'm serious!"
He pointed to the girl behind him.
The girl was none other than Xianxian, who had previously sought help from Taoist Sanqing due to relationship problems.
Although Xianxian tried hard to maintain her image, her fatigue was still obvious and her eating movements seemed a little sluggish.
Su Yichen glanced sideways and understood what Mu Guifan meant. He said helplessly, "Are you saying she's haunted?"
Su Bao nodded in confirmation.
Su Yichen: “…”
Ji Chang saw the ghost above Xianxian's head and explained, "That's the medium ghost."
At this moment, Wang Zhenhai, the old man of the Wang family, stood on the temporary stage, looking around the audience with a smile on his face.
At this moment, he felt that everything had returned to the way it was before, just like when he was young.
At that time, the Wang family could shake the entire Wucheng with just a single move!
And he, as the eldest son of the Wang family, is also a prominent figure in Wucheng!
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. The Wang family gradually declined, and until a few years ago, it was squeezed out of the top ten families by the Zong family.
He stayed awake all night and made up his mind to make the Wang family return to the top ten families.
Otherwise, even if he died, he would not be able to face his ancestors.
He thought that marrying into the Xu family was a great opportunity.
Although he knew that the Xu family had their own plans, for someone in trouble, no opportunity could be missed.
The Xu family has its own purposes, and he also has his own plans.
Who can achieve their wish depends on their own means.
He had to give it a try no matter what.
"Today is my birthday. I am very grateful to everyone for coming..."
Wang Zhenhai said this with a smile and in a polite manner.
“A lot of old friends came, I’m so grateful.”
Lin Fan sat in the corner, looking at Wang Zhenhai, thinking that this man really looked like he was going to ruin the family. No wonder the Wang family lost half of their fortune and fell out of the top ten families.
Then he looked at Wang Chudong again. Based on his understanding of her, she shouldn't just accept her fate like that, right?
Will she do something famous?
"Come, let's raise a toast together."
Wang Zhenhai raised his glass.
"grateful."
Everyone raised their glasses and drank it all.
After Wang Zhenhai finished his drink, he sat down.
Next, it’s time to celebrate the birthday.
The Wang family was the first to come on stage to present gifts.
Of course, filial descendants should show their filial piety at this time.
First, the eldest son of the Wang family, Wang Shutianhong, presented a calligraphy of the word "Shou" by a famous artist, which was very appropriate.
It is said that this gift is worth tens of millions.
Then, the second and third sons of the Wang family were not to be outdone and each presented a birthday gift.
After them, the younger generation also began to compete to offer treasures.
Gifts worth hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars were presented one after another.
But Wang Chudong just sat there quietly, with no expression on his face.
"Chudong, it's Grandpa's birthday. Didn't you prepare a gift?" a cousin said in a sarcastic tone.
"That's right, this is too outrageous. We have prepared everything." Several cousins also joined in the fun.
Wang Zhenhai heard these discussions and turned his gaze to Wang Chudong.
"Actually, I wanted to prepare a gift for grandpa, but I've been locked up at home recently and can't go anywhere. How can I prepare it?" Wang Chudong stood up and said calmly.
Her voice was so loud that people at the surrounding tables could hear it.
Many people had subtle expressions. They had heard earlier that Wang Chudong was against arranged marriages. Now it seemed to be true?
In order to force her to agree to the marriage, the Wang family actually put her under house arrest?
Wang Zhenhai's face darkened slightly. This was obviously embarrassing for him in public.
However, as a seasoned man, he quickly regained his smile and said, "You kid, you're always so willful. You run around everywhere as soon as you get home... Your parents told me to lock you up for a few days to make you behave yourself."
"That's right." Wang Laosan quickly agreed.
"When your grandfather found out about this, he blamed me."
Wang Chudong chuckled. Is this explanation useful?
Just wait and see what you say later!
"It doesn't matter whether there are gifts or not."
Wang Zhenhai said with a smile.
"It's good that you're thoughtful. Chu Dong, please sit down first."
Wang Chudong sat down. She had no intention of taking any action until the Xu family formally proposed marriage.
This little episode was soon over.
After the Wang family finished presenting their gifts, it was the guests' turn.
Naturally, some people who have close ties with the Wang family also have to give generous gifts.
"Xu Yuan."
After most of the gifts were given out, Xu Yunlin stood up and looked back at his son.
"exist."
Xu Yuan responded and took out an exquisite box from his arms.
"Uncle Wang, this is a small token of our appreciation. We wish you good health and a long life."
Xu Yunlin took the box, opened it and took out the items inside.
It was a crystal clear jade ruyi, and one could tell at a glance that it was worth a fortune.
"Good, good, good."
Wang Zhenhai smiled and took the jade ruyi to look at it carefully.
"It's really a good thing. I'm sorry for the expense."
"No, no, we're going to be a family soon."
Xu Yunlin's words turned the topic back to the marriage of Xu Yuan and Wang Chudong.
Seeing that the time was ripe, he decided to take this opportunity to settle the matter.
"Haha, yes, a family."
Wang Zhenhai laughed heartily, his voice echoing in the hall.
"Xu Yuan, bring them in."
Xu Yuan nodded, and the door opened wide. Twelve strong men carried six large red-lacquered boxes into the hall. Everyone's eyes were focused on these boxes, which were decorated with large red wedding characters.
"The betrothal gifts are here..." whispers came from the crowd, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively.
"Open them." Xu Yunlin ordered.
Following a command, the six boxes were opened one after another, revealing gold, silver, jewels, jade, agate, and various other precious jewels, as well as two boxes full of cash. The onlookers exclaimed in amazement.
"The Xu family is truly magnanimous."
"It seems they attach great importance to this marriage."
"Of course, even though the Wang family isn't as strong as it used to be, it was once a giant in Wucheng, and can be said to be a perfect match for the Xu family."
"If we push it back fifteen years, the Xu family would have been marrying up."
……
There was a flurry of discussion in the room, while Lin Fan glanced at it and curled his lips in disdain. In his opinion, none of this was as elegant and refined as the few pounds of apples he had brought.
"How about we take advantage of Uncle Wang's birthday today to settle the children's affairs?" Xu Yunlin said with a smile.
