Chapter 37 Chapter 37 Party at the Old House.
The Qin family has a big event, that is, the old man in the old house is going to celebrate his 70th birthday.
This is a significant day, and celebrities from all walks of life will go to the old house to celebrate the old man’s birthday.
Qin Moran and his family naturally couldn't be absent.
The time is set for Saturday night, and a birthday party will be held at the old house.
Qin Lian'an and Qin Xuan, who were usually busy outside, came back and prepared to go to the banquet with the whole family.
Of course, not everyone wants to attend the banquet, such as Qin Ye.
Until the whole family was about to leave, Qin Ye remained indifferent.
He stayed in his bedroom, curled up on the sofa and playing games.
The servants went to call him several times but failed.
There was no other choice, so the servant had to report to Chen Ruolan: "Madam, the Third Young Master doesn't seem to want to go."
Chen Ruolan paused as she packed her things and said, "I understand. I'll go take a look."
Chen Ruolan walked to the third floor.
She has made good preparations to attend the birthday party today.
She changed into a sky blue evening gown.
This dress is a high-end custom made piece from a famous brand. It is inlaid with many small diamonds and emits a dazzling luster under the light.
Not only did she carefully match her clothes, she also tied up her straight long hair and wore two small gem earrings on her ears, making her look elegant and beautiful.
Chen Ruolan knew very well that she would not be very welcome if she went there, but she still had to observe the necessary etiquette.
A few minutes later, Chen Ruolan arrived at Qin Ye's bedroom door.
The bedroom door was not closed.
Chen Ruolan knocked on the door again before walking in. "Xiao Ye, you should get ready. We're going to the party soon."
She has a gentle temperament and her voice is very soft.
However, the corresponding disadvantage is that it does not have much deterrent effect.
Qin Ye listened, huddled in the sofa, his head unraised, his fingers moving rapidly on the phone screen: "I told you I won't go."
Chen Ruolan said patiently, "The whole family is going, so why wouldn't you go alone?"
Qin Ye said unhappily, "What's so unreasonable about that? You're talking as if I'll be welcomed by the old house if I go there."
Chen Ruolan was silent for a moment, then continued, "Why wouldn't they welcome you? Your grandparents are over there in the old house. Would they dislike a grandson like you?"
Qin Ye asked in return: "Do they like it?"
Chen Ruolan was speechless for a moment.
Indeed, because the people in the old house were always dissatisfied with her marriage to Qin Li'an, they not only disliked her as a daughter-in-law, but also the two children she gave birth to were not well-liked.
But what can I do about it?
Could they still tear each other apart?
After a moment of silence, Chen Ruolan said again, "Xiao Ye, just listen to your mother and don't be willful."
Qin Ye retorted: "Do you want to go yourself?"
There was a hint of bitterness on Chen Ruolan's lips: "Does it matter whether I want to go or not?"
The adult world is full of insincere words and deeds. How many adults can truly follow their own will? Most of the time, they just have to compromise and muddle through.
Qin Ye could tell that Chen Ruolan was insincere and stopped talking.
The bedroom was quiet for a long time.
Chen Ruolan then said, "Anyway, I will go, and your brother will go too. You can decide for yourself."
After saying that, she walked out of the bedroom.
Qin Ye sat alone in the quiet bedroom, silent for a long time. Finally, he threw his phone on the sofa and cursed softly.
Children's room downstairs.
Qin Moran was getting dressed with the help of a servant.
At this time, Chen Ruolan walked in with a smile on her face: "Mo Bao, which outfit do you want to wear?"
Qin Moran held up a set of overalls in his hand: "Mom, can I wear this?"
This set of overalls is black, and if paired with a white shirt, it will be very suitable for attending banquets.
Chen Ruolan squatted down and said with a smile: "Mobao looks cute in anything he wears."
Qin Moran was praised and was so happy that dimples appeared on her cheeks.
In another room.
Qin Xuan came to find Qin Boxi.
Qin Boxi had already dressed and was leaning against the window, distracted, with an unlit cigarette in his hand.
Qin Xuan walked up to him and said, "What are you thinking about?"
Qin Boxi recovered from his distracted state and looked at Qin Xuan: "Brother."
Then he replied: "I didn't think anything."
Qin Xuan was dressed in a black suit, his eyes cold and gloomy.
He stood in front of the window with Qin Boxi, and then said, "If you don't want to attend the party tonight, you don't have to go. I can explain to them that you have other things to do."
Qin Boxi smiled faintly: "Tonight is Grandpa's birthday party. It seems not good for me not to attend it."
Qin Xuan looked at him: "But she will go too."
It goes without saying who she is referring to.
Qin Boxi lowered his eyes, his emotion unclear: "I can avoid you for a while, but can I avoid you forever? Besides, we met a while ago."
Qin Xuan frowned slightly: "If you don't want to see her, I can help you."
Qin Boxi raised her eyes and looked at the vast scenery outside the window. "Just like she said, we are biological mother and son. This is a relationship that can never be severed. There is no point in running away. Take tonight for example, isn't she going to the same party with us?"
Qin Xuan also looked out the window, his dark eyes filled with thick fog.
An hour later.
Everyone is ready to go.
Qin Li'an, the head of the family, called out to everyone, "Let's go."
The family walked out.
What’s rare is that Qin Ye finally came.
He was wearing a black sweatshirt and had a grim expression on his face, which was even darker than his sweatshirt.
But no matter what, as long as he is here, it's fine.
Qin Moran was led out by Chen Ruolan.
He was wearing his white shirt and black overalls, with a pair of small white sneakers on his feet.
He looks like a little prince with red lips and white teeth.
Outside the villa.
An extended sedan was already parked there.
Everyone got in the car together.
As for the gift boxes, another car was specially sent for delivery.
After Qin Moran was led into the car, he was stunned for a moment.
He had never ridden in a car like this before.
The interior of the car in front of me was very spacious, with two rows of leather benches against the windows, and everyone sat facing each other.
In the middle there is a rectangular coffee table filled with various expensive drinks.
In addition, there is a TV, refrigerator, storage cabinet, etc. in the car.
This doesn't look like the interior of a car at all, more like a small banquet hall.
After Qin Moran was carried to the bench and sat down, she shook her little feet happily.
Soon, the car started and drove towards the old house.
Everyone in the car was doing their own thing.
First are Qin Lian and Qin Xuan.
The two men were discussing the affairs of the group together.
Recently, the group plans to acquire a game company. Although the game company is not large in scale, its R&D team is very smart and every game it produces is a hit.
Qin Li'an said to Qin Xuan, "You need to tell your subordinates that even if we acquire this game company, we can't dictate to the original R&D team. Let professionals do their professional work. We are only responsible for providing funding and some marketing work. The actual R&D should be done by their original team..."
Qin Xuan: "Okay."
The next person was Qin Ye, who was sitting silently on the outermost side.
Although he finally went to the old house with everyone, he was obviously in a bad mood and didn't even bother to say a word.
Chen Ruolan on the other side also seemed to be thinking about something and did not speak.
Finally, there are Qin Boxi and Qin Moran.
The two brothers studied the wine on the table together.
Qin Moran looked at the colorful wines with curiosity in his eyes.
These wines look very valuable.
Qin Boxi sat next to him and asked with a smile, "Mo Bao, do you want to touch these bottles?"
Qin Moran nodded.
Qin Boxi picked up a wine bottle with a strange shape and handed it to him: "Here, try it."
Qin Moran held the bottle of wine and touched the bottle curiously.
There are many patterns carved on it and it is also gold-plated.
Obviously, even a single bottle of wine can fetch a lot of money.
Qin Boxi patiently explained to him: "Mobao, you can't drink alcohol now. When you grow up, you can drink a little."
After hearing this, Qin Moran suddenly had an idea: "Will I go crazy if I drink?"
Qin Boxi was amused and laughed: "That depends on how good our Mo Bao's alcohol tolerance is."
But if you think about it carefully, if their Mobao gets drunk, he will definitely be as cute as a wobbly penguin.
Qin Moran probably imagined himself drunk and then made himself laugh.
Next, Qin Boxi took the bottle of wine from Qin Moran's arms, picked up a cup from the table and poured him a glass of milk: "Come on, Mobao, you can't drink alcohol, but you can drink milk."
"Thank you, second brother."
Qin Moran took the cup with his two little hands, and then made a series of "thump thump thump" sounds.
Qin Moran drank the entire glass of milk in one breath, took two short breaths, and then asked Qin Boxi, "Brother, how much taller can I grow after drinking the milk?"
The flowers and plants in his greenhouse grow a little taller every time they drink enough water. Can he do it?
Qin Boxi thought for a moment and asked, "Did Mo Bao ever dream that he could fly?"
Qin Moran shook his head: "I don't remember."
Qin Boxi: "If you dream of flying, you will grow taller."
Qin Moran heard this and said cleverly, "Then I'm going to sleep now. I want to fly as hard as I can in my dreams and grow taller quickly."
Qin Boxi smiled and rubbed his head: "Our Mobao is really smart, then you go to sleep now."
After saying that, she took him in her arms and patted him gently.
Qin Moran leaned in his second brother's arms, smelling the familiar fragrance of grass after rain, and soon fell asleep.
After an unknown amount of time, Qin Moran opened his eyes in a daze.
He slept peacefully in his second brother's arms.
Qin Boxi saw that he had woken up and reminded him, "Mo Bao, we'll be there soon."
Qin Moran's eyes, which were still a little sleepy, widened completely.
Have they arrived at the old house?
Qin Moran subconsciously turned his head and looked out the car window.
The entire old house covers an area of several thousand square meters, like an ancient Chinese garden, revealing the heritage of a top family everywhere.
Because there is a banquet tonight, the old house is decorated with lights and is a lively scene.
Tonight, countless celebrities gathered here, and there were also many media reporters outside.
Luxury cars slowly drove into the old house, as if a large auto show was being held.
Qin Moran and his friends also drove in and finally stopped steadily in front of a house.
Qin Li'an said, "Everyone get out of the car."
Everyone got off the bus one by one.
As soon as the Qin family got out of the car, they instantly became the focus of the audience.
On the one hand, they are also the hosts of this banquet. On the other hand, the Qin family’s current status in the wealthy circle is unparalleled, and they are the ones that everyone looks up to.
There were many speculations and opinions about the Qin family in the outside world, but no matter what they were like in normal times, when they met the Qin family, they all fawned and kowtowed.
As the family stepped forward, everything fell silent, everyone staring at them.
Apart from anything else, the six members of the Qin family are really good-looking.
Qin Lian and Chen Ruolan walked in front.
The couple, one wearing a suit and the other wearing a sky blue evening gown, walked side by side, looking very well-matched, the envy of others.
Following him are four sons.
There is no need to say much about the eldest son Qin Xuan. Anyone who is in the business world knows Qin Xuan's name, and everyone is wary of this future heir.
The second son, Qin Boxi, is also a celebrity. After all, he appears on hot searches every now and then, and everyone can’t help but know him.
The only ones left are Qin Ye and Qin Moran.
Everyone is not very familiar with Qin Ye. After all, he is still in junior high school and has rarely appeared in public.
Besides, Qin Ye had an impatient and irritable expression on his face at the moment, and few people dared to stare at him.
Everyone turned their attention to Qin Moran.
Many people had never seen the youngest son of the Qin family before, but now they finally saw his true face.
This little kid who was only three years old stood out from the crowd of Qin family members who were out of their reach.
He seemed to be a little curious about the party. He followed the adults obediently, looking around with his big black eyes.
There was a gradual discussion among the crowd.
“So cute!”
"What's the point of being cute? I bet this kid will definitely grow up crooked in an environment like the Qin family. Look at his brother Qin Ye, didn't he become a school bully?"
"Indeed, a wealthy family like the Qin family probably has a lot of things hidden that are not to be exposed. If you stay there for a long time, who wouldn't become twisted?"
"No matter how terrible the Qin family is, they wouldn't abuse a child, right?"
"I'm not talking about abuse, but this little three-year-old looks innocent. How can such a well-behaved and sensible child grow up normally in an environment like the Qin family? I've heard that the Qin family is very deep-rooted."
"Yes, only someone like his elder brother Qin Xuan can thrive in an environment like the Qin family and rise step by step."
"It's such a pity for such a well-behaved child. It would be pitiful if he had mental problems one day."
"Okay, okay, keep it down. If anyone hears us, who among you can escape?"
Here, several members of the Qin family walked into the house under the leadership of Qin Li'an.
There were already quite a few people in the hall.
As soon as Qin Li'an walked in, countless people came to greet him.
Qin Li'an nodded to those people with a smile, then led his family to give Old Man Qin a birthday present.
Old Master Qin was also a man who fought in the business world in his early years, but now he has completely retired and no longer cares about these things.
He now lives a very leisurely life. On weekdays, he is either fishing, playing chess or writing. He is happier than a god.
People came forward to give him gifts.
Qin Moran did the same. He held a gift box and walked up to Old Man Qin obediently: "Grandpa, happy birthday to you!"
Old Master Qin hadn't seen his grandson for a long time, and when he saw him at first glance, he was a little overwhelmed.
After a moment, he smiled and said, "So Mobao has grown up so much."
It is said that the elders are closer to each other than the next generation. Now, when Mr. Qin saw his handsome and well-behaved grandson, he couldn't take his eyes off him.
After a few words of chatting, he had secretly decided to give some of his shares to Qin Moran.
It is human nature to like human cubs, let alone such a cute cub. Who would not want to share some of the good things in their hands with him when seeing him?
Everyone chatted happily for a while.
However, soon other people came to give gifts, so the Qin family stepped aside for the time being.
On the other side of the hall, Old Madam Qin was also accepting congratulations from everyone.
Although today is not her birthday, others will bring her a gift.
Although Old Madam Qin is almost seventy years old, she has maintained herself very well and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is in her fifties.
She was wearing a navy blue cheongsam. Although her hair was already a little gray, it was neatly tied into a bun and pinned with a hairpin.
She is old, but has a straight back and exudes the aura of a mistress of the house.
Just then, another heavyweight guest arrived.
He Lingya.
When He Lingya came in, everyone was stunned at first, and then their eyes wandered to He Lingya, Qin Lian and Chen Ruolan.
Everyone at this moment was keenly aware that something big might be about to happen.
The Qin family members also had different expressions.
Qin Li'an is a man who has seen a lot of ups and downs, and he still looks elegant and easy-going at this moment.
Chen Ruolan looked at her husband beside her, then looked at He Lingya over there, not knowing how to react for a moment.
She was not the competitive type, nor could she do whatever she wanted in such a situation.
All she could do was remain silent.
The remaining children had different expressions.
Qin Xuan, the heir, has already begun to show the signs of being in power. He never shows his emotions on his face, and others cannot see what he is thinking at all.
Qin Boxi subconsciously turned away without looking at He Lingya.
Qin Ye didn't take anyone seriously from beginning to end, let alone He Lingya.
As for the little boy Qin Moran, he couldn't feel the undercurrents between the adults at all.
He just found that another aunt had come, and that aunt had talked to him some time ago.
He vaguely realized that this aunt seemed to make everyone unhappy.
The hall was silent for a few seconds.
He Lingya seemed unaware of the changing atmosphere. Of course, even if she had noticed, she wouldn't have cared.
She first gave a gift to Mr. Qin, and then walked towards Mrs. Qin with another gift box.
He Lingya usually wears work clothes, but today she wore a light pink Chanel-style suit.
However, the ambition and indifference between her eyebrows cannot be concealed by a dress.
He Lingya walked up to Old Madam Qin with the gift box and shouted as usual: "Mom, this is a necklace I brought you. Can you open it and take a look?"
Madam Qin patted her hands and said with a smile, "Xiaoya is so thoughtful. You are so busy with work, yet you still think of buying me a gift."
He Lingya smiled and said, "It should be."
At this time, Madam Qin called over here, "Li'an, come and take a look at this necklace too?"
We are all decent people.
In such an occasion, it is impossible for Old Lady Qin to show her likes and dislikes on her face, but she will use some small actions to prove which daughter-in-law she likes.
Everyone present was smart, so who didn't know what Old Madam Qin meant?
Some people were even secretly wondering whether Qin Lian and He Lingya were going to remarry.
Everyone was waiting for Qin Li'an to express his opinion.
Qin Li'an's expression remained unchanged in the face of such a situation. He even said calmly, "Isn't this a coincidence? Mom, Ruolan and I also bought you a necklace."
As he spoke, he took Chen Ruolan's hand and pulled her to deliver the gifts.
Chen Ruolan was stunned at first, then she cooperated with her husband and walked forward.
It no longer mattered what gift was given next, as everyone understood Qin Liyan's attitude.
In short, neither Madam Qin nor He Lingya looked particularly good.
The other spectators also sighed.
Well, it seems that Qin Li'an is still on the side of his current wife, and his ex-wife is a thing of the past.
After the big show came to an end, everyone went about their own business and the hall became lively again.
Qin Ye sat alone on the sofa drinking a drink.
A boy ran over, sat on the armrest of the sofa, and patted his shoulder: "Qin Ye, why are you sitting here alone?"
This boy is also in the circle and usually interacts with Qin Ye.
Compared to the adults who always wear a mask, Qin Ye's attitude is much more straightforward. He said with a cold face: "Don't bother me, I'm in a bad mood."
The boy said thoughtfully, "Is it because of your mother? Actually, I think Old Madam Qin is really something. Her current daughter-in-law is so gentle and filial, so why does she always miss the previous one?"
Qin Ye was too lazy to say these things.
The boy put his hand on his shoulder: "Okay, let's not talk about this. I came to you because I wanted to ask, does your brother have a girlfriend?"
Qin Ye glanced at him and asked, "Why are you asking this?"
The boy said helplessly: "I am asking for my sister. Don't you know how popular your brother is in the circle? Which rich girl doesn't want to marry him?"
Indeed, Qin Xuan is a very popular marriage candidate.
First of all, he is mature and calm, has strong working ability, and will be the successor of the group in the future. Such a resume is already shining.
Secondly, unlike other young men in the industry who were involved in all sorts of scandals, he was completely devoted to his work and had never had any ambiguous relationship with any girl or boy.
Just ask, who wouldn’t want to marry a man like this?
After marrying him, my future life will be so much easier. I won’t even have to deal with the routine operations in the industry like catching a mistress.
Hearing this, Qin Ye said calmly, "Then why doesn't your sister go up and ask herself?"
The boy smacked his lips. "Don't you know how cold your big brother's temper is? Anyone who dares to get close to him will be frozen instantly, right?"
Qin Ye didn't care and took another sip of his drink.
The boy gently pushed him and said, "Hey, tell me quickly, does he have a girlfriend?"
Qin Ye said unhappily: "How should I know?"
The boy was shocked: "You are a family, how could you not know?"
Qin Ye: "He's a workaholic who wishes there were 48 hours in a day. Do you think we'll ever have a chance to sit down and talk about our relationship?"
The boy begged, "Please, please, my sister will definitely beat me to death if I can't find out. Since we often play games together online, can you please give me a little inside information?"
Qin Ye said impatiently: "As far as I know, no."
The boy stood up excitedly: "Thanks, brother. I'll treat you to dinner some other day."
After saying that, he ran away. It seemed that he was going to report to his sister.
The other side.
Qin Moran was surrounded by a group of girls, all of whom fed him.
Jiang Yan and the others are also in this circle, so naturally they also came to attend this birthday party.
A girl peeled the grapes and put one into Qin Moran's mouth.
Another girl fed him a small cake.
…
In the end, Qin Moran had to cover his mouth and said incoherently: "My mouth says it can't eat anymore."
Several girls teased him: "Your mouth said you can't eat it, but you didn't say you can't eat it."
Qin Moran: "..."
QAQ!
All he could say was, "I can't eat any more myself. My stomach is full."
Several girls teased him: "Really? Is your belly already bulging? Then let's touch it."
Qin Moran quickly covered his belly and said, "You can't touch it."
Several girls: "Why not?"
Qin Moran said firmly: "No matter what, it's not allowed."
The girls burst into laughter and stopped teasing him.
At this time, Jiang Yan squatted down and asked Qin Moran: "Brother Moran, there are too many people in the hall, do you want to go out and play?"
Qin Moran nodded.
"Okay, let's go out together."
Soon, Qin Moran went out with a few girls.
Away from the hall and outside, it was indeed much quieter.
At this moment, it was already evening and the moon had risen.
Qin Moran looked up at the moon in the sky and said in a baby voice, "The moon is rising."
Then he said, "Is the sun tired? Let the moon help it do its work?"
Several girls were amused by the childish talk.
One of the girls took out a moonstone from her handbag and handed it to Qin Moran. "Brother Moran, does this look like the moon?"
Qin Moran nodded: "Yes!"
The girl directly grabbed his little hand and placed the gem in his hand: "Then I'll give it to you."
These rich daughters are richer than each other, and they don’t even blink when giving gifts.
Qin Moran didn't have time to speak.
Another girl took out a star gem on the spot and said, "That's perfect. I have a star gem here. Let's give it to Momo as well."
Seeing this, the other girls couldn't afford to fall behind, and they all took out their own small gifts.
Then Qin Moran found that he had inexplicably received a lot of gifts.
He was holding the pile of gifts, at a loss for words, and could only say, "Thank you, sister!"
The girls were almost tempted to take out their gifts again when they were called "sister".
In the following time, Qin Moran, accompanied by several girls, went to the pond to feed the fish.
A girl asked, "There's no fish food here?"
Another person replied: "Why not just ask someone to go to the kitchen and get some steamed buns?"
So soon, everyone took a steamed bun and started feeding the fish.
Qin Moran also got a big, white and plump steamed bun.
Before feeding the fish, he leaned over the railing and looked into the pond, somewhat worriedly saying, "The fish are always in the water. Will they drown?"
Several girls were amused.
Qin Moran looked at the sisters blankly: "Did I say something wrong?"
Several girls said unconscionably, "How could Mo Ran be wrong? Everything you said is right."
Another girl even said: "Actually, I have also wondered how fish breathe in water."
Someone responded, "Nonsense, fish definitely don't need to breathe. Didn't you hear what Mo Ran said? Fish can drown."
Jiang Yan was considered one of the more rational people in the group. She smiled helplessly and said, "That's enough, how can you lie to a child like this?"
One person asked, “So what do you think?”
Jiang Yan was silent for a few seconds: "Actually, I also think Mo Ran is right."
The group of people burst into laughter.
Qin Moran looked at everyone laughing and curled his eyes as well.
After everyone laughed enough, they started feeding the fish.
These rich girls have never had the leisure to feed the fish themselves, but today they have a little girl with them, and they suddenly think that feeding the fish is also a super interesting thing.
Qin Moran was not tall enough to throw the steamed bun down from the railing. He could only tear off a little bit of the bun, then reach his hand through the gap in the railing and throw the bun down.
He threw the steamed bun crumbs into the pond, and the fish swam over happily and started grabbing the steamed buns.
Qin Moran was happily feeding the fish at first.
As he was feeding the baby, he took a look at the big steamed bun in his hand and suddenly thought that the bun was white and plump and looked delicious!
So, Qin Moran tore off a piece of steamed bun and fed it into his mouth.
Then I found out it was delicious!
This steamed bun is big and soft, and it leaves you with a lingering aftertaste.
Next, Qin Moran forgot about feeding the fish and focused on tearing off the steamed bun and feeding it into his own mouth.
Jiang Yan, who was standing by, noticed this and said with a smile, "Brother Mo Ran, weren't you feeding the fish? Why are you feeding yourself?"
Qin Moran suddenly came to his senses when asked this question.
Oh, right, isn’t he feeding the fish?
Qin Moran paused for a few seconds in confusion, then said to the fish in the pond: "I'm sorry, I forgot about you."
After saying that, he quickly tore off some steamed buns and threw them into the water to remedy the situation.
Jiang Yan laughed for a long time.
However, after Qin Moran fed the fish attentively for a while, he wanted to eat steamed buns again.
The main reason is that this steamed bun is really delicious and he likes it.
So next, while feeding the fish, Qin Moran quietly tore off a piece of steamed bun and put it in his mouth.
While he was feeding the fish, he was secretly feeding himself.
Every time he put the steamed bun in his mouth, he would not chew it at first. He would look around first, and when no one was paying attention to him, he would quickly chew and eat it.
He thought he had fooled everyone and was so happy that he jumped several times on the spot.
Seeing this, several girls were so cute that they were speechless.
Why is their little brother Mo Ran so cute even when he's secretly eating steamed buns?!
