Although there were not many guests at the Tan family's house, everyone who was present was a heavyweight.
The kind that can be worth a hundred when taken out!
Tan Mo asked Wei Zhiqian happily, "Uncle, does this look good on me?"
"It looks good." Wei Zhiqian nodded and chuckled, "Only you can pull this off."
Tan Mo moved closer to Wei Zhiqian again.
Wei Zhiqian discovered that the milky fragrance of her childhood had long since turned into the sweet fragrance of a young girl.
Tan Mo moved closer to him as usual.
Wei Zhiqian lowered his eyes slightly and saw her skin exposed outside the shoulder straps and neckline, which was as delicate and white as solidified fat.
Somehow, Wei Zhiqian felt his breath was a little hot.
Then Tan Mo continued, "Uncle, Grandpa Wei and Grandma, as well as the Patriarch and his wife of the Qin family, you called them all here, right? Director Liu and Director Hou, as well as Principal Mu, Professor Tang, and Professor Yue, you also called them, right?"
The Tan family's original plan was to have a simple birthday celebration.
No general invitation was issued.
I'm also afraid of bothering others.
She knew about it, but her parents had not told Principal Mu and others.
"I originally planned to keep a low profile, but the Jiang family's faces are really unpleasant. Your family and the Jiang family don't have much in common, yet they are showing off their inexplicable sense of superiority." Wei Zhiqian said coldly, "Today is a very important day for you. How can I let those people outdo you?"
It's not just Wei Mingwen and his wife and Qin Zhenglu and his wife.
But why do the names Grandpa Wei and Grandma sound a bit strange now?
Wei Zhiqian had just finished speaking.
Another sign-up call came from outside the banquet hall: "Mr. Qin Mufeng is here!"
"Mr. Han Zhuoli has arrived!"
"Mr. Zhao Gushen has arrived!"
"Mr. Chu Zhaoyang is here!"
"Mr. Yan Beicheng is here!"
"Mr. Qi Chengzhi is here!"
"All the uncles are here!" Tan Mo was surprised.
"Since you call them uncle, why wouldn't they come to your birthday?" Wei Zhiqian said carelessly, "They have nothing to do anyway."
In the Jiang family's banquet hall, it was not just the Jiang family's guests who were getting uneasy after hearing these series of names.
Even the Jiang family themselves were no longer calm.
"It must be Wei Zhiqian!" Madam Jiang said indignantly, "In order to save face for Tan Mo, he summoned the next generation of leaders from other families."
Unexpectedly, Jiang Siyong said quietly, "That shows how good Wei Zhiqian is to Tan Mo that he would call the next generation of leaders from the eight major families to celebrate Tan Mo's birthday?"
Mrs. Jiang paused.
yes.
The fact that Wei Zhiqian can do all this doesn't just prove that Wei Zhiqian treats Tan Mo very well?
Tan Mo is good friends with Qin Muye, who is the younger sister of Qin Mufeng, the next generation leader of the Qin family.
Even if the relationship between Tan Mo and Qin Mufeng is average, with Qin Muye around, at least the Qin family will not treat the Tan family badly.
Not to mention, there is Wei Zhiqian.
Similarly, even if the other members of the Wei family treat Tan Mo normally.
But with Wei Zhiqian around, it was equivalent to gaining the support of the entire Wei family.
As long as there is one Wei Zhiqian, that’s enough!
It was obvious that the guests were no longer focused on the Jiang family's birthday party.
Everyone was very restless. If they were not afraid that the performance would not look good, they would have rushed out of the banquet hall and went to the next room.
"How can this be a birthday party next door? It's a gathering of the eight major families!" said a guest.
"If it weren't necessary, we would have suspected the next generation of the eight major families. They were plotting under the guise of celebrating Tan Mo's birthday." There was really no need for that. Wei Zhiqian and his gang had already begun to take over family and company affairs.
The older generation has gradually given up power and will slowly step back to the second line, leaving the younger generation to fend for themselves.
There is no such thing as the older generation of parents not stepping down and the younger generation not being able to get power and can't wait to start seizing power.
What's more, Yan Beicheng's father died young.
The Yan family was originally supported by Old Man Yan, and Old Man Yan wished that Yan Beicheng would take over quickly so that he could step down immediately.
Yan Beicheng now controls more than 90% of the Yan family.
Seize power?
It doesn't exist!
The current heads of the eight major families are eager to pass this responsibility to their children and grandchildren.
Is being the head of the family really such a good job?
Originally, Jiang Yongyan wanted to overshadow Tan Mo, but now no one is paying attention to her.
With so many guests present, the Tan family, including Tan Mo, all went to the door to greet them.
"Momo looks really good today." Xiao Menghan praised.
When Xiao Menghan saw Tan Mo's outfit, she knew that this was the clothes Wei Zhiqian had chosen for her.
The jewelry was prepared by Xu Mingzhen.
It’s not particularly gorgeous, just a simple sapphire set, including sapphire earrings, a sapphire pendant necklace, and a sapphire bracelet.
The gems are not very big and there are not many diamonds. They are simple and just suit Tan Mo's age. They complement Tan Mo's slender neck and wrists without stealing the show.
The color of sapphire makes Tan Mo's skin look even whiter.
"You're an adult now, happy birthday." Xiao Menghan presented the birthday gift she and Wei Mingwen prepared.
"Thank you, Grandpa and Grandma." Wei Mingwen and Xiao Menghan have become accustomed to hearing Tan Mo call them that over the years.
It was all the fault of that unlucky son, what else could they say?
As for Wei Zhiqian, Tan Mo was still a small ball before, so he really didn't think there was anything wrong with calling him that.
Maybe it’s because Tan Mo has grown up now, he doesn’t look much younger than him, and his parents look young.
Tan Mo no longer felt comfortable calling them grandpa and grandma.
But if we ask Tan Mo to change it, he can't.
After all, there is nothing wrong with the seniority, how can people change it?
In the end, Wei Zhiqian could only frown slightly and remain silent.
Tan Wenci didn't expect so many people to come, so he quickly asked the waiter to make arrangements.
"I'm sorry for the poor hospitality." Tan Wenci said apologetically.
"If Zhiqian hadn't told us, we wouldn't have known about this." Dong Hanbi laughed, "You're being so distant with us. Momo's 18th birthday is such a big deal, and you didn't even invite us? You really didn't treat us well enough."
This seemingly complaining joke actually resolved the awkwardness cleverly.
Tan Wenci quickly arranged for everyone to sit down.
Tan Mo and the Tan family were sitting at the same table, and he greeted Qin Muye and Ming Yeqing: "Muye, Ah Qing!"
Qin Muye happily pulled Ming Yeqing to sit over.
Unexpectedly, Wei Zhiqian, who had already successfully squeezed out Tan Jinqi and occupied the position on Tan Mo's left, said with a look of confusion: "There's no room left."
Tan Jinqi was pushed aside by Wei Zhiqian and could only sit on Wei Zhiqian's left.
Even he couldn't get a seat next to Tan Mo, let alone Tan Jinsheng and Tan Jinyi.
The position to the right of Tan Mo is firmly occupied by Tan Wenci.
