Chapter 104 Birthday Banquet
"How can Mother get old?"
Lin Meiling immediately spoke up, looking at Fang Lanxin with a smile.
"Mom, you are the youngest and most beautiful mom I have ever seen."
Upon hearing this, Fang Lanxin immediately covered her mouth and burst out laughing.
This scene caused the relatives to exchange glances, after all, Fang Lanxin had been very dissatisfied with this daughter-in-law before. Most of the time, she would not give her a good look, especially in front of outsiders. She would always scold her with a stern face and complain that this daughter-in-law was not presentable.
But things are different now. Fang Lanxin's attitude towards Lin Meiling has clearly softened considerably, and the two have even become very close.
Seeing this, Huo Zhenhong felt an unprecedented sense of crisis. His face was terribly gloomy, but he still had to force himself to watch what was happening in front of him.
After a round of social engagements, Huo Qibang was taken aback when he returned and saw Fang Lanxin's youthful pink outfit: "Mom, you look so beautiful today!"
"You've got good taste, kid." Fang Lanxin nodded in satisfaction, then stood up: "Since everyone's here, don't be shy. Meiling has prepared a lot of fun activities today, let's all have some fun together?"
As she spoke, Fang Lanxin walked outside. Looking at the garden decorated with joy, Fang Lanxin was overjoyed. She took Lin Meiling's hand and said with a smile, "You really are so kind and thoughtful. The venue is so beautifully decorated today. I really like it. Thank you for putting so much thought into my birthday banquet."
"Mom, this is what I should do. Please don't say that. I'm embarrassed." Lin Meiling smiled gently, took Fang Lanxin's hand, and began to explain the little tricks she had hidden today.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were very close and happy together.
This should have been a beautiful scene, but for Huo Zhenhong, it was a scene brimming with a sense of crisis.
Previously, the Huo family was not harmonious, which gave him room to maneuver. But now it seems that the Huo family is more harmonious and the whole family is very close, which is a different matter.
"Lord Guan has arrived!"
Suddenly, an announcement came from outside.
Then Guan Yu walked in wearing a light pink suit, which was a matching couple's outfit from the same brand as Fang Lanxin's!
This is practically an official announcement in public!
this……
Fang Lanxin stood there, staring at Guan Yu, never expecting that this man would look so good in pink.
For some reason, Fang Lanxin couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth.
Her eyes crinkled as she watched Guan Yu walk towards her step by step, her heart filled with an indescribable sweetness.
Guan Yu walked up to Fang Lanxin, took out a box, and handed it to her: "Happy Birthday!"
Fang Lanxin opened the box, and inside lay a jade bracelet of exceptional quality, clearly worth a fortune.
Without the slightest hesitation, she took out the bracelet, put it on her wrist, waved it at Guan Yu, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Master Guan!"
Everyone was drawn to the bracelet.
"Isn't this the one from the Poly Auction?"
"I heard it was worth fifty million, and it was bought by a mysterious buyer. I never expected it to be Guan Yu?"
"Could it be that the Huo and Guan families are about to make a historic reconciliation?"
"Could it be that the rumors were true, and that Madam and Second Master have really gotten together? That's too amazing!"
Fang Lanxin naturally heard all these discussions, but she didn't care. She just smiled faintly, stepped forward, and took Guan Erye's arm.
"This gift is beautiful, I like it very much, thank you."
Fang Lanxin smiled gently, took Guan Erye's arm, and they went to the buffet together.
Watching the two walking hand in hand, Old Master Huo couldn't sit still any longer. His eyebrows furrowed tightly, and he said irritably, "What kind of behavior is this? Look at this! What kind of behavior is this?!"
"Grandpa, please don't be angry. Mother is also a free person. This is her choice." Huo Qibang's eyebrows were tightly furrowed. Although he was dissatisfied, he still did not forget to defend Fang Lanxin on the surface.
Those who were able to attend the birthday banquet were naturally prominent figures in Hong Kong. Fang Lanxin pulled Guan Erye along and began to greet these people. Since everyone usually saw each other in the business world, no one would really pry into the relationship between the two at this time and embarrass Fang Lanxin.
In fact, the people who truly hurt you are never outsiders; most of the time, it's your own people. They know what you're afraid of and where your weakest points are. They'll hit the nail on the head and won't give you any chance to fight back.
Fang Lanxin's lips curled up slightly, then she picked up a small cake, stuffed it into her mouth, and said with a smile, "Do you think the newspapers will be very lively tomorrow?"
"I think you're looking forward to some excitement, aren't you?" Guan Yu raised an eyebrow and looked at Fang Lanxin. "You look beautiful today. This outfit suits you very well."
Fang Lanxin swayed her skirt and looked at Guan Yu with a smile: "So, do you think the clothes are prettier, or am I prettier?"
"Of course they're all beautiful," Guan Yu said truthfully.
Fang Lanxin had known all along that he was straight.
She rolled her eyes and snorted, "You really don't know how to talk."
"But in my heart, you are much prettier than the clothes."
"Alan, you look beautiful today."
Guan Yu stepped forward and gently pinched Fang Lanxin's cheek.
Fang Lanxin nodded in satisfaction and snorted, "You know how to talk."
As soon as she finished speaking, the roar of a motorcycle came from outside. Fang Lanxin quickly went out and saw Ling Ye and his friends riding motorcycles around the manor, holding large flags with blessings on them.
Ling Ye took the lead, riding his bicycle with one hand, holding a large bouquet of red roses. As they collided at high speed, rose petals drifted down in the wind. He circled around Fang Lanxin, the fragrant scent of the petals wafting over her.
"Happy birthday, Madam!"
Ling Ye's voice, muffled through his helmet, carried the most genuine sincerity of a young man.
"Thanks!"
Fang Lanxin's eyes reddened slightly. She never expected that Ling Ye, who looked wild and unruly, was actually so romantic at heart, giving her such a surprise.
The moment the rose petals stopped falling, Ling Ye's car pulled up right in front of Fang Lanxin. He then took off his helmet and, as if by magic, produced a red rose from his pocket, handing it to Fang Lanxin: "I've chosen this one; it's the most beautiful. It's for my most beautiful wife. Happy birthday!"
