The day after the New Year is Bai Yulin’s 50th birthday.
As her father's biological daughter, Bai Siyu would definitely come back from afar to celebrate his birthday party. However, this time she was not alone, but also with her boyfriend Xiao Ran.
She knew that if she told her parents in advance, they would definitely not agree, so she could only bring Xiao Ran back and do it without asking them for permission.
Bai family.
"Oh, Dad, my dear dad, please don't be angry..." Bai Siyu hugged Bai Yulin's arm and acted coquettishly.
Bai Yulin remained unmoved.
Tian Meizhen and Shen Yueyan were watching the show on the side.
"Look, I've finally come back, can't you be happy... Don't you want me to come back?" Bai Siyu asked with a pout.
"Then you're just going to act first and ask for my permission later?" Bai Yulin asked back, adjusting his suit and tie.
Bai Siyu instantly lost her confidence and muttered softly: "I just wanted to give you a surprise..."
"So do you think I'm surprised now?"
Hearing this, Bai Siyu immediately became alert and raised her voice: "Dad, don't speak too early!"
As she spoke, she called Xiao Ran over.
Xiao Ran, Bai Siyu's boyfriend of many years, is also her teacher. He is five years older than her and is a very famous and popular painter. His paintings are auctioned every year, and he uses the proceeds from the auction for charity.
Despite being such an outstanding person, Bai Yulin was still not very satisfied with him. He believed that people engaged in art were as unpredictable as the wind and worried that he could not give his daughter a stable life.
Bai Yulin couldn't help but glance over curiously. He wanted to see what surprise they had in store for him.
Xiao Ran tried his best to act like a good boy as Bai Siyu asked. When he heard Bai Siyu calling him, he tried hard to tidy up his appearance, smiled politely and greeted Bai Yulin: "Uncle, hello!"
Bai Siyu looked at him like this and nodded at him with satisfaction, secretly giving him a thumbs up.
"Dad, look, Xiao Ran brought you a gift!"
Bai Siyu signaled Xiao Ran to quickly take out the gift.
At this time, Xiao Ran took out a painting from a long box with exquisite packaging.
The moment the painting was opened, a hint of expression finally appeared on Bai Yulin's cold face, and his frown relaxed.
Xiao Ran took the painting and walked up to Bai Yulin: "Uncle, I heard Sisi say that you particularly like this painting, so I found it specially for you. Happy birthday!"
At this time, Tian Meizhen and Shen Yueyan, who were watching the fun on the side, also came over.
When Tian Meizhen saw the painting, she exclaimed, "Honey, isn't this your favorite painting? I wanted to buy it but couldn't, and I didn't expect this guy to get it. It's really great..."
Tian Meizhen gave Xiao Ran an approving look.
Xiao Ran touched his head shyly: "As long as uncle likes it!"
"This painting...how did you get it?"
Bai Yulin asked as he carefully examined the painting in front of him.
Xiao Ran explained: "Because the author of this painting, Qi Ming, is my teacher..."
There was a barely perceptible fluctuation in Bai Yulin's eyes. He felt a little bit incredible, but he remained calm on the surface.
It was Tian Meizhen who lost control first. She widened her eyes and asked, "Are you really Qi Ming's student?"
Xiao Ran nodded.
Bai Yulin and Tian Meizhen don't share many common interests, their only being painting. They've had this since they were young, perhaps in their genes, so their daughter also enjoys painting and has become an excellent painter. Qi Mingdu is their favorite painter, but now that he's older and doesn't care about money anymore, his paintings are only used for exhibitions.
Bai Yulin finally smiled. He turned to look at the handsome Xiao Ran and thanked him: "Xiao Ran, thank you for your gift. I like it very much."
Seeing Bai Yulin's smiling face, Xiao Ran also breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense face finally relaxed: "As long as uncle likes it."
Bai Yulin glanced at the time and said, "It's almost time. We should leave."
Bai Yulin’s birthday party was held at a hotel owned by Ye’s family at 8 p.m.
As night slowly fell, all kinds of gorgeous decorative lights in the banquet hall lit up, shining brightly and eclipsing the stars in the sky, making it a feast for the eyes.
As the band played, elegant music filled every corner of the venue.
At that moment, the banquet hall was packed with nearly every wealthy and powerful person in Yuncheng. They were dressed in suits and ties, quietly discussing projects worth hundreds of millions of yuan, and the occasional clink of glasses echoed through their conversations. Their concern wasn't just for the so-called birthday boy, Bai Yulin, but also for their business partner on the project, Chairman Bai.
Ning Yifan, who has always disliked such occasions, came exceptionally early tonight. He entered the venue early, paced back and forth anxiously, and kept looking out the door.
He was dressed particularly handsomely today. He didn't like wearing suits, but today he put on a suit that felt restrictive to him. He even spent a long time dressing up, showing how much he cared about it.
Because Bai's father would take advantage of this birthday to announce the news of their engagement, so he took so much effort to dress himself up.
He was handsome, with fair skin, delicate features, and particularly alluring peach blossom eyes. Even without makeup, he was attractive enough, and after spending so much time dressing up, he attracted the attention of many wealthy women attending the banquet.
