Chapter 763: Mysterious Black Shadow, Stunning Appearance (Two Updates in One)
Yueyue’s birthday party cannot be sloppy at all.
Han Qishan made a secret decision.
You know, this is the first time his precious granddaughter has appeared in public. Wouldn't it be appropriate not to make it a grand occasion with lots of flowers and decorations?
To this end, he did not hesitate to take action personally and make arrangements.
Every day, Han Shen couldn't help but get a headache watching him using a cane to meet the hotel manager and the gift company manager, so busy that he had no time to rest.
"What do you think of Dad?"
Han Ke spread his hands and shrugged: "Not really, but he's happy to do so."
Han Heng smacked his lips. "Actually, it's not bad for the old man to be busy. At least he doesn't have time to take care of me."
As for Jiang Fuyue, the protagonist of the banquet, he didn't have to worry about anything and just became a hands-off boss.
Grandpa: "My dear, I promise I won't let you down!"
Jiang Fuyue agreed.
Two days later, he called again: "My dear, what color do you like? What flower do you like?"
"Purple. Iris."
…
In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the birthday party.
Those who came were all old friends and partners of the Han family.
The man was dressed in a suit and brought his family with him.
The woman has delicate makeup and hair, and her skirt is swaying.
It is a birthday party and also a place of fame and fortune.
"Master, congratulations! Your two precious jewels have been found!"
Han Qishan shook hands with him, smiling so hard that his wrinkles flew everywhere: "Thank you for your honor, please come in."
As the eldest son, Han Shen was also busy greeting guests, shaking hands and exchanging greetings.
Li Chen also came today, accompanying his father, dressed respectably.
Li Jiahui: "I don't care how you behave normally, but be honest today!"
Li Chen curled his lips. It was this kind of boring social interaction again. Did he think he wanted to come?
Oh……
Wouldn’t it be great to learn two more pages of “Investment Analysis” at home?
Yes, in an environment where classmates around him are either studying hard or developing side businesses, Li Chen is not idle either.
He has always been interested in investing and would occasionally buy some stocks for fun, making more money than losing, but it was really just for fun and he never bothered to study it seriously.
But after the joint training of the seven schools ended, seeing everyone studying and setting up clubs, it seemed that if he didn't do something, he would be out of tune with this group.
But he neither liked studying nor had any talents. After thinking about it, it seemed that he had made a good investment. So he began to study investment systematically, hired a tutor, listened to online courses, and practiced practical operations.
As his studies continued to deepen and his knowledge continued to broaden, Li Chen felt as if he had opened the door to a new world.
Every teacher who has taught him praised him for his talent, accurate intuition, and high vigilance, calling him a natural stock market hunter.
After receiving the recognition, Li Chen worked harder and did not fall behind in his school courses. Even during his leisurely university years, he actually felt a bit of the nervousness that only existed before the college entrance examination.
But this sense of fulfillment made him extremely satisfied.
In his own words, "I have endless energy now."
Director Li was surprised to find that the troublemaker in his family had not caused any trouble for a long time.
I called the school and the teacher said he was fine, but it was clear that the McLaren in the garage had not been driven out for a long time, and the family's private doctor had not come to his house because of his bloody head after fighting.
Strange!
"Are you planning something nasty again? Trying to make a big move?"
Li Chen: “?” Is this my biological father?
Anyway, Mr. Li didn't really believe it. A dog will always eat shit, so how could Li Chen not cause trouble?
However, it turned out that he had been very well behaved in the last one or two months.
Director Li: “?” Happiness came too suddenly.
On the other side, Liang Jingzhou also arrived, and the bored expression on his face was exactly the same as Li Chen's.
While the adults were chatting and socializing, the two little ones finally had the opportunity to slip away.
Liang Jingzhou: "You're here too?"
Li Chen: "I was dragged here by my dad."
Liang Jingzhou immediately shook his hand: "Brothers in distress."
Li Chen: “…”
"I didn't even know what kind of party this was, and I was dragged here. So, what kind of party is this?"
Li Chen glanced around and saw that the whole place was mainly purple, with satin ribbons and a red carpet on the ground, decorated with irises on both sides. It looked youthful and energetic, with an inexplicable girlish heart?
He was also a little confused. Wasn't this a business cocktail party?
"What's the family's name?"
Liang Jingzhou: "?" You ask me? I really want to ask you!
"Okay, you actually hid here, making me and Old Cheng look for you for a long time." At this time, Gu Huaiyu and Cheng Lian came side by side.
OK! Now it's done.
Liang Jingzhou: "Why are you here too?"
Gu Huaiyu raised an eyebrow: "You are allowed to come to Sister Yue's birthday party, but we are not allowed? What's the reason..."
"Sister Yue?! Birthday party?"
"What? You don't know?" Gu Huaiyu's mouth twitched as he reminded him, "This is the Han family!"
Yes, Jiang Fuyue is the granddaughter of the Han family, and Li Chen had investigated her family background before.
Liang Jingzhou coughed lightly: "...Now I know."
Gu Huaiyu: "The reaction arc is really long."
Li Chen, who had just found out, became much smarter and kept quiet to avoid being laughed at.
"Where is Sister Yue?"
Cheng Lian looked at his watch and said, "The banquet hasn't officially started yet, so he shouldn't be here."
Liang Jingzhou: "Hehe... maybe she's still putting on makeup. Girls are the most troublesome. We can't just throw on a suit and go out."
Gu Huaiyu stroked his chin and blurted out, "Actually, she looks good even without makeup."
"That's for sure," Liang Jingzhou nodded, "her beauty is not exaggerated."
Li Chen murmured: "She looks good without makeup, and even better with makeup. And then she puts on a long skirt..."
From a male aesthetic perspective, he felt that Jiang Fuyue would look very good in a long skirt, especially one with a close-fitting cut, a tube top design, and silk fabric.
Every line and every step is full of graceful charm.
Coupled with those sparkling peach blossom eyes, gently sweeping across and glancing lightly, any man would probably be unable to resist.
"...Lao Li?! What are you thinking? I called you several times but you didn't respond." Gu Huaiyu nudged him, "And you're still laughing so wildly."
Li Chen suddenly came back to his senses: "Is there? No."
"Yo yo yo! You still don't admit it! There's definitely something wrong!"
"Hehe...are you thinking about Sister Yue?" Liang Jingzhou said with a sly grin that said, "I've seen through you." "Don't deny it, a grown man should take responsibility for his actions. If you think about it, then so be it. Sister Yue is beautiful and smart, only a fool would not think about it."
"Oh! You admit that you thought about it!" Li Chen turned the tables.
Liang Jingzhou actually nodded generously: "Yes, I was thinking about it. Sister Yue is now the dream lover of all the boys in our school. Lao Gu, Lao Cheng, I just want to ask you two if you have ever thought about it. Don't use those empty words, just be honest, okay?"
Gu Huaiyu's eyes flashed.
Cheng Lian looked up at the sky.
Choosing silence at this time says too much.
Liang Jingzhou winked at Li Chen: See, you are hypocritical, you are the only one who denies!
Li Chen: “…” He wanted to beat someone up.
But the attitudes of Lao Gu and Lao Cheng...
He was secretly surprised.
Sudden--
"Hey, what do you think about me pursuing Jiang Fuyue?" Liang Jingzhou said shockingly.
Gu Huaiyu's face darkened: "Not very good."
Li Chen curled his lips: "Just you?"
Cheng Lian shook his head and uttered three words slowly: "You're overthinking it."
Liang Jingzhou rolled his eyes furiously. "What do you mean? Huh? You're just jealous! Not only are you cowardly, but you're also badmouthing others—insidious! Cunning! Narrow-minded!"
"When I catch Sister Yue, I'll make you all call me brother-in-law!"
Li Chen: "Jiang Fuyue has good eyesight and a decent brain." The implication is, how could he possibly fall for you?
Gu Huaiyu: "Aren't you a grandson? Do you still want to be a brother-in-law?"
Cheng Lian: "Wake up, you've been dreaming too much and are drooling."
Liang Jingzhou: “…” Shit!
The four boys were talking one after another, cursing and insulting each other, their voices getting louder and louder, and among them were a few clear shouts of "Jiang Fu Yue".
The boys' affection and admiration were unconcealed, unbridled and perverse.
Suddenly, the laughter stopped.
Because within sight, a dark shadow moved!
It's next to the fountain not far away.
Because the light was too dim, no one would take a second look except for the regular sound of water.
But there happened to be a person standing in that place!
When he was not moving, his back almost blended into the darkness, and Li Chen and the others didn't notice him at all.
"Hey, why are you stealing--" Are you listening?
Before he could finish his words, the figure walked away. His steps were calm, without any trace of panic of being caught eavesdropping. On the contrary, his retreating back seemed to reveal a sense of... coldness?
"No... who is this person? Does he understand the rules?"
"He kept quiet, but was still pretty cool when he was discovered."
"Um...did he hear everything?"
The four of them looked at each other, their expressions somewhat unnatural.
"I hope he doesn't recognize us."
I don’t know Jiang Fuyue either.
Amitabha!
Cheng Lian: "The banquet is about to begin, let's go in."
"Um."
The four left.
…
When you go inside, you will see a sea of purple.
There are no cheap stickers or messy decorations. The background wall is a huge purple screen.
A young phoenix with its wings spread out, ready to fly, was embroidered with silver thread.
If viewed from the other side, the pattern becomes a tiger cub chasing butterflies among flowers.
The positive side is exciting, and the negative side is interesting.
The phoenix is elegant and the tiger is ferocious.
"What a beautiful double-sided embroidery! It's worth a fortune!"
"I remember ten years ago Christie's auctioned an embroidered screen called 'The Childish Play of the Phoenix and the Tiger,' which set a record for the highest price ever paid for an embroidery at auction, and it still holds the record. Could this be it?"
"It seems the rumors are true. Mr. Han truly loves his granddaughter to the extreme. He even treats the priceless auction items like ornaments, casually using them to decorate the venue."
"By the way, who is this Miss Sun from the Han family? Why have I never heard of her before?"
"You probably don't know this. The story begins twenty years ago with the youngest daughter of the Han family..."
The people present today did not specifically check Jiang Fuyue like Li Chen did, so 99% of them did not match "Jiang Fuyue" with "Young Miss Han".
They only knew that the Han family had a hidden gem who had never shown up in the circle, and that there was a talented girl named Jiang Fuyue on the Internet.
Although Jiang Fuyue's identity was no secret to netizens familiar with gossip because of Han Heng, how many of the guests present would spend day and night browsing Weibo?
Therefore, when the banquet started and Jiang Fuyue came down from upstairs with the old man's arm in arm, the amazement and surprise in everyone's eyes were so obvious.
The girl was wearing a white off-shoulder dress decorated with lace ruffles, revealing her snow-white shoulders and a pair of beautiful collarbones.
The skirt is decorated with feather elements and has a draped shape, but the light feathers bring a sense of elegance when walking.
She wore light makeup, her long hair was tied up, and a dazzling little diamond crown was tucked slightly into her hair.
Her skin is as white as snow and her eyes are sparkling.
She just stood there, without having to do anything or say anything, she was a beautiful scenery.
Liang Jingzhou stood in the hall, looked up, and swallowed his saliva in a cowardly manner after just one glance.
It’s really beautiful…
Li Chen, who was standing by, was also stunned, remembering the scene when Jiang Fuyue grabbed his neck and threw him to the ground.
For a moment, the girl's otherworldly appearance at this moment and her brutal and cold look when she fought with him kept switching in his mind.
She wears a long white dress and has a personality more fiery than fire.
Gu Huaiyu's eyes were also blank.
Cheng Lian also looked stunned.
Since these four people reacted in this way, one can imagine the shock suffered by the others.
At that moment, the sounds of conversation disappeared, but the sounds of breathing came one after another.
"Is this... the lost pearl of the Han family?"
"I thought kids who grew up outside were inevitably a bit rude and lacking in generosity, but what we saw was such a revelation! Interesting! So interesting!"
"This calm demeanor and generous smile, how can she be raised in an ordinary family? Apart from other things, her demeanor alone is superior to most of the socialites present."
"No wonder Old Han loves her so much. If I had such a beautiful granddaughter, I would hold her in my hands and cherish her dearly."
"I heard that the Han family's youngest daughter was also very graceful and good-looking back then. What a pity..."
"This little girl is even prettier than her mother was back then!"
It's not just the appearance, but also the temperament that is as light as frost and as cold as snow.
It makes people want to get close to it, but they don’t dare to get close to it.
From a distance, she stood still here, letting the other side become anxious and impatient, unable to get what they wanted.
"Hiss...why does it feel more and more familiar the more I look at it? Have I seen it somewhere before?"
“It turns out I’m not the only one who feels this way.”
"Hmm! It does look familiar!"
"I remember now—isn't this that amazing online academic, Sister Yue? She just won three CNS papers a few days ago, and all the major media outlets were vying to report on her, with trending searches going viral one after another."
"Ah! My two kids still worship her like a goddess, calling her Sister Yue all the time."
“It’s actually her!”
Everyone was shocked.
What kind of evil gene does the Han family have? The child born is not only as beautiful as a fairy, but also an academic?
At this moment, Jiang Fuyue and the old man had already walked down the last step.
Han Qishan announced loudly in front of everyone, "These are my granddaughters—Jiang Fuyue! I ask all the uncles, aunts, and sisters present here to take good care of them in the future."
The old man paused for a moment, then continued, "As for Yueyue, I've spoiled her. She's very willful and can't stand the slightest bit of grievance. If she offends you in the future, just tell me and I'll teach her a lesson. But if anyone takes action without permission, don't blame me, Han Qishan, for getting angry!"
The old man said this with a smile on his face the whole time, but no one would be stupid enough to take it as a joke.
Han Ke crossed his arms and said, "Dad is really blatantly partial to me. Why didn't I get this treatment when I was a kid?"
Han Shen: "I don't have anything, what are you still thinking about?"
Han Heng smacked his lips. "What a terrible intergenerational bond! In the old man's heart, I'm afraid the three of us brothers can't even compare to the family dog."
At this time, the little beast who was trapped in the back garden: "Woof woof - woof woof woof -"
…
After Han Qishan finished speaking, there was silence for a moment.
Everyone came back to their senses from their daze and came forward to congratulate him with a smile.
"Old Han, you've hidden your little granddaughter so well that you're only introducing her to everyone now. Congratulations! There's light at the end of the tunnel. The future is bright!"
Han Qishan bowed and said, "Thank you for your kind words."
"Boss Han, your granddaughter is incredible! She was everywhere on the news yesterday!"
"You're too kind! Children shouldn't be praised. They'll get proud!"
"I'm not exaggerating, I'm just telling the truth."
Han Qishan was surrounded in the middle, and he immediately smiled when he heard everyone praising and complimenting Jiang Fuyue.
He seems humble in words, but he is actually proud in his heart.
The three Han Shen brothers were all speechless.
You are already old, can you please stop being such a bitch?
Han Qishan proved with his actions: No. He is a "dog". So what?
“…”
Because the old man stole too much attention, Jiang Fuyue, who should have been the focus and the center of everyone's attention, was ignored by everyone.
She took this opportunity and slipped away decisively.
Only when she got outside and the clinking of glasses and toasts behind her faded away did she breathe a sigh of relief.
The moonlight was bright in the sky, and nearby was a dimly lit fountain pool.
Suddenly, someone tapped her shoulder gently.
Jiang Fuyue turned around...
Two updates combined into one, 5,000 words.
Can you guess who the black shadow is?
