As they walked along the way, they dealt with several waves of people who came up to try to get close to Li's father. The three of them got into the elevator, and Li's father pressed the 8th floor button.
After the elevator arrives, there is a luxurious lounge of more than 200 square meters around the corner.
Except for Nian Weiguo's family who were greeting guests downstairs, almost all other members of the Nian family were here.
On the luxurious European-style sofa, the old man occupied the big seat in the south.
It was very hot in the summer and the old man couldn't use the air conditioner, so he left Qing City early in the morning to escape the heat. Therefore, Lin Xiaoman didn't see anyone during the summer vacation. This was also the first time she met the old man in person.
His complexion is rosy and he looks energetic. Although he is old, he doesn't look like the poor health that Li's father said. It is clear that he is still strong in his old age!
"Hai Lin, you are all here."
As they entered, the old man greeted them with a smile.
"Uncle Nian, Grandpa Nian, I wish you blessings as vast as the flowing waters of the East China Sea, and a life as long as the evergreen pines of the Southern Mountains!"
First, everyone celebrated their birthdays, and then Father Li took out the gift he had prepared long ago. "Uncle Nian, this is the lucky jade I photographed when I was on a business trip to Jingzhou last time. It's said to be very nourishing."
"Hai Lin, it's good that you're here. Why are you being so polite..."
Father Li and the old man exchanged polite words with each other. Lin Xiaoman stood quietly beside Father Li like a good girl, looking at the others very quickly.
On the right side of the old man is Nian Weiming's family.
Unlike Nian Weiguo, who was tall and strong, the third-year Weiming was a big fat man with a big belly and a greasy face, looking very wealthy. The wife sitting next to him had an old face and did not have the temperament of a wealthy wife at all. Instead, she looked like a rural woman in a formal dress.
Next came their eldest daughter, Nian Jiali, her husband, and their 2-year-old child.
Then there is Nian Jiasheng, a tall and thin man who looks like a handsome young man.
Before they entered, Old Man Nian seemed to be lecturing Nian Jiasheng, and at this moment the boy clearly looked relieved.
Finally, there is the little girl Nian Yueyue who has little presence. Just looking at her name, you can tell there is something fishy.
The Nian family claimed that Nian Yueyue was the daughter that the third brother and his wife had in their old age, but in fact, she was the debt of the third brother's extramarital affair.
It was also because of Nian Yueyue that Nian Lao San was sentenced to death by Nian Lao Ye, completely losing his qualification as an heir. After that, Nian Lao San simply gave up and became more and more reckless outside.
In the plot, after Nian Jiarui took complete control of the power, seeing that the overall situation had settled, Nian Lao San directly sold his shares to his nephew, making over ten billion in cash. After giving a little bit to his wife and children, Nian Lao San went away with a large amount of cash.
Clearly separated, on the left hand side of Old Man Nian is Nian Weifen's family.
With prominent cheekbones, Nian Weifen has a rather fierce look, resembling a demanding and harsh supervisor. Indeed, she is. She's nicknamed "Mrs. Mie Jue" by her colleagues. Her husband, a chubby man like Nian Weiming, smiles like a crouching Maitreya Buddha, earning him the nickname "Smiling Tiger."
Then... Lin Xiaoman's quick glance suddenly paused, and a barrage of comments immediately rushed into his mind.
Oh my! What a handsome guy!
His brows were sharp, his eyes were piercing, and his features were remarkably cold and hard. Even his short haircut, which was considered the most detrimental to his appearance, couldn't diminish his coolness. He sat remarkably upright, and at first glance, he looked like someone from some mysterious organization! Just looking at his long legs, it was clear that he was definitely over 180cm tall.
Oh my, who is this?
After a careful look and considering the surrounding people, Lin Xiaoman immediately matched the man with the elder brother of the Gu family whom Li Xinxing had not seen for many years.
Damn it!
This person is Gu Qi!!
Such a handsome guy, no, handsome uncle! He was just cannon fodder! It's totally unfair!
Lin Xiaoman's eyes were filled with regret involuntarily. It was such a waste of talent. It was said that this person ended up being killed by Du Bei and died a miserable death as a cannon fodder.
Alas, handsome guys have unfortunate fates, and God is jealous of men!
It was obvious that Lin Xiaoman's gaze stayed on him for a little too long, and Gu Qi, who was originally looking elsewhere, looked over here.
Their eyes met and Gu Qi, with a serious expression, nodded at her first, silently greeting her.
Lin Xiaoman quickly responded with a polite smile and then looked away.
This cannon fodder has such a strong aura that she feels pressured just by looking at him.
According to the routine, such a character should be a villain, right?
With this powerful aura and the identity of this cousin, he should have fought with the male protagonist for Shenghua, then fell in love with the female protagonist, and finally been killed by the male protagonist or let go and left sadly.
According to the routine, this is the right thing to do. How can he be cannon fodder?
Oh, that's not right!!
In Li Xinxing's original experience, Gu Qi, the cannon fodder, did not appear at all at this birthday party.
The Gu Qi in Li Xinxing's memory was someone he hadn't seen for seven or eight years, and then... and then there was nothing else. The next time he saw him was a black and white photo of his deceased father.
Shouldn't he be at the border? How did he appear here?
Could it be that the words she deliberately said worked, and Nian Weifen forced this cannon fodder son to change his career?
Uh, will the plot be affected and changed?
The cannon fodder transforms into the second male villain?
No way...
After taking a final look at Gu Ming and his wife, as well as their 6-year-old child, Lin Xiaoman began to wonder if her little butterfly would blow the plot away.
After exchanging pleasantries for a few minutes, Lin Xiaoman left with his parents and returned to the banquet hall. The Nian family members also came down one after another.
The banquet began. After the elder gave a speech, people from all walks of life came to the elder in waves to wish him a happy birthday and make themselves known to him. Finally, everyone ate and drank, praised each other's business, and toasted each other.
