The three-child group pet has a stable start

In the previous life, their Gu family was also invited to participate.

But at that time, her parents and the Pei family were preparing for her engagement with Pei Shuyuan, so they appointed her elder brother to celebrate her birthday.

She still remembered that because only her elder brother went there alone, the Gu family lost face in front of all the celebrities.

What's more, the Wei family who went to the banquet together added fuel and jealousy to say that the Gu family did not pay attention to Mr. Xiao's birthday banquet.

This made Mr. Xiao very worried about this.

Wilson glanced at Gu Man, raised his hand to his lips, and was about to say something.

But Gu Man raised his hand and said: "Ah, I'm fine. I should attend Grandpa Xiao's birthday, and if I delay the banquet because of me, I will be very sorry."

Wilson was overjoyed, glanced at Gu Man, and his affection for her went up to a higher level.

Ms. Gu is really knowledgeable!

"Are you really okay?" Xiao Wangchu tilted his head to look at her quietly, with a serious tone.

"It's really okay, ah, it's just that the makeup is a bit messy, it's okay, I'll just touch it up." As he said that, Gu Man was about to go through his bag to touch up his makeup.

Xiao Wangchu raised his eyebrows to look at her, as if it was the first day he met this woman.

"Wilson, please drive later and stop when you pass by a nearby pharmacy. I will buy something and it will be ready soon."

Gu Man said while applying lipstick.

……

At the same time, the Xiao family's old house located in the suburbs is brightly lit, the sound of the piano rings around the ears, and the voices of people are full of people. It is very lively.

The Xiao Family Courtyard, decorated in a simple and elegant manner, is located in a place surrounded by mountains and rivers.

From the point of view of Feng Shui, the roots and veins are luxuriant, which is a sign of great auspicious prosperity.

Many celebrities in the imperial capital who seldom get a glimpse of the elegant demeanor of the Xiao Family Courtyard on weekdays often get a glimpse of the interior of the Xiao Family Courtyard in the albums of local landmark buildings.

You know, even if you are a high-ranking official, it would be very difficult for you to come in without being personally invited by Mr. Xiao.

Now through birthday celebrations, everyone is able to pay their respects. At the moment, they are all scattered around the other courtyard, looking around and admiring.

In the hall, under the big red lanterns with the characters of longevity hanging high, Xiao Guanxiong, who was dressed in a red gold-rimmed Tang suit with dark patterns, was full of energy and was surrounded by the crowd.

Although his hair has turned gray, his lean body is old and strong, without losing the style of the past.

He was greeting the celebrities and famous families who came to congratulate him on his birthday.

"Ah, old Xiao, you don't look old at all, you are still so energetic!" Wei Chengfeng, who came to celebrate his birthday, was full of joy and bowed respectfully.

Xiao Guanxiong recognized him, with a smile on his face: "Cheng Feng is here, thank you very much, is your father still in good health?"

Xiao Guanxiong had a relationship with Wei Chengfeng's father Wei Lintai when he was young, so he asked this question.

"My father is still in good health, thanks to Mr. Xiao's concern!" Wei Chengfeng replied hastily.

"That's fine, that's fine."

Xiao Guanxiong smiled: "When you live to this age, your health is the first priority. Your father was good at studying when he was young. Now he should let go and enjoy his old age. Look at me, now I have nothing to do. Eat, drink, and sleep during the day, don’t care about other things, and feel at ease!"

Wei Chengfeng hurriedly echoed: "Yes, yes, my father has also been studying the way of keeping in good health recently. He drinks tea and listens to music when he has nothing to do, and collects some calligraphy and paintings to cultivate his mind. Oh, yes, I have heard that Mr. Xiao likes collecting antique calligraphy and paintings. My father specially asked me to send me a copy of Tang Yin's original handwriting, congratulations on your [-]th birthday!"

As soon as he heard that it was Tang Yin's authentic work, Xiao Guanxiong's eyes lit up, and he immediately became interested, and said unceremoniously: "Ah, thank you so much for your father!"

"Ser, present it." Wei Chengfeng smiled, and turned around to wink at Weiser behind him.

Wearing a red tunic dress with exquisite makeup, Weiser walked forward gracefully holding a brocade box.

"Grandpa Xiao, I wish you good fortune like the East China Sea, longevity compared to Nanshan Mountain, prosperous sun and moon, Songhe Changchun!"

After finishing speaking, Weiser put a decent smile on the corner of his lips, and offered the brocade box up with his graceful hands.

Only then did Xiao Guanxiong notice Weiser, with surprise in his eyes: "This is... Seser?"

Wei Chengfeng nodded and smiled, "It's the little girl."

"Ah, you've grown up so much, you've turned into a slim girl? I remember she used to play with Liren when I was young..."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Guanxiong nodded in satisfaction, and raised his hand to let the butler Lao Liu take the brocade box.

With a shy face, Weiser pursed his lips and lowered his head with a restrained smile: "Thank you, Grandpa Xiao, for your compliment."

"Thurse, how is your mother recently?" On the side, Lin Jiao'e, dressed in jewels, took Weiser's hand affectionately.

This Lin Jiao'e is the wife of Xiao Guanxiong's eldest son Xiao Peidong, and she has a son named Xiao Liren with Xiao Peidong, but Xiao Liren, like his father Xiao Peidong, is difficult to be a master who has no knowledge and skills.

So now Xiao Guanxiong has handed over all the important properties of the Xiao family to Xiao Wangchu, his grandson, to take charge of them.

Lin Jiao'e also has an older sister named Lin Yan'e, who is Weiser's mother.

The two sisters were both from the Lin family, a declining family in the imperial capital, and now one is the daughter-in-law of the Xiao family and the other is the daughter-in-law of the Wei family.

"Auntie, my mother is fine, and asked me to say hello to you." Weiser smiled.

Hearing this, Mr. Xiao glanced at his daughter-in-law Lin Jiao'e, and said, "You need to move around more between sisters!"

"Yes, Dad, you're right." Lin Jiao'e lowered her head and answered, she raised her eyelids and glanced at Weiser, her smile deepened for some reason.

Here, the brocade box was carefully opened by the housekeeper, Lao Liu. Once the picture of Tang Yin drinking a crane was unfolded, the audience in the hall cheered in unison.

"Good painting! Good painting! Wonderful! Really wonderful!"

Some people even commented: "In ancient times, there was a saying that the pine and the crane prolong the year, and the crane symbolizes longevity. Tsk tsk, this Wei family has a heart!"

"Yeah yeah!"

……

Seeing Mr. Xiao appreciating the painting of drinking cranes intently, coupled with the continuous voices of applause and praise, Weiser's lowered eyebrows were full of complacency at some point.

She couldn't tell how happy she was to be appreciated by Mr. Xiao and show off in front of all the celebrities.

It's just... Where's Brother Wang Chu?

It would be even better if Brother Wangchu could witness this scene!
But the banquet has already started and most of the people have arrived, but Xiao Wangchu's figure is nowhere to be seen.

Just at this time, an uncle of the Xiao family raised his mouth next to Mr. Xiao: "Why hasn't Wang Chu come yet?!"

As soon as these words were thrown out, everyone stopped talking one after another, pricked up their ears, and looked this way, even Mr. Xiao took his eyes away from the picture of drinking cranes.

He glanced at the butler, Old Liu, who immediately understood, and whispered in his ear, "Master, it seems that Master Wangchu has been delayed on the way."

Xiao Guanxiong nodded, his brows slightly lowered.

"It's really outrageous. The old man usually loves him the most, and he can neglect such a big thing as his birthday!"

"That's right, it's really unfilial..."

……

Everyone chattered about.

Xiao Liren spoke at the right time, pretending to stabilize the situation, and said with a smirk: "Cousin may be coming, or there may be something more important than grandfather's birthday that needs him to deal with!"

It was fine if he didn't say this, but when he said it, the discussion became even worse.

"Is there anything more important than celebrating the old man's birthday!"

"I think it's unfilial, white-eyed wolf!"

"Let me just say, how can an outsider be of one mind with our Xiao family!"

……

The dissatisfaction of several uncles of the same family was the loudest, and everyone in the hall could hear it clearly.

The atmosphere was awkward for a while.

Even the musician who was invited to play the zither stopped.

"Liren." Xiao Guanxiong frowned slightly, his voice calm and prestige.

Seeing this, Xiao Liren quickly lowered his head and responded, "Grandfather."

"How many times have I told you? My name is elder brother, not cousin, and my surname is Xiao, not my foreign surname." Xiao Guanxiong spoke solemnly, and the amiable smile just now had long since disappeared.

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall fell silent, and there was no further discussion.

Everyone knows that Xiao Guanxiong loves Xiao Wangchu because he is smart and capable since he was a child, and he is a great success.

But the more important point is... because Xiao Guanxiong loves the house and the crow.

Xiao Liuer, Xiao Wangchu's mother, was pregnant with Pei Dongjun's flesh and blood because of an unbearable love affair with Pei Shuyuan's father, Pei Dongjun. Although she may have made a mistake first, she also died of dystocia when Xiao Wangchu was born.

It's paying off the crime.

Xiao Liu'er had always been the apple of the eye of Mr. Xiao in the past, and her death was the eternal pain in Mr. Xiao's heart.

Later, after Xiao Wangchu lived in Pei's house for a period of time, he was secretly picked up by Mr. Xiao and took his mother's surname.

Xiao Liren was afraid of his grandfather Xiao Guanxiong, seeing that his face had changed, he immediately lowered his head and said nothing, his eyes were gloomy, and the corners of his lips revealed an imperceptible mirth.

Just now the insider came to report that Xiao Wangchu seemed to be driving in a hurry to deal with something, and he still hasn't driven this way yet.

Seeing that the banquet is about to officially begin, Xiao Wangchu will definitely not come.

Xiao Liren knew that that kid had always been arrogant, ruthless, and would never show concern for others, and he would put everything before family affection no matter what.

Xiao Liren even thought that, let alone the old man's birthday, even if his mother came back from the dead to celebrate her birthday, if there was anything that conflicted with this, he would definitely put the matter of his mother behind.

Thinking of this, the corners of Xiao Liren's lips smiled even wider.

Don't even look at what occasion it is now?The moment when the famous families of the imperial capital gather together!

At this time, Xiao Wangchu didn't show his face, so don't blame him for being a cold-blooded and ruthless white-eyed wolf afterward!
Thinking of this, Xiao Liren felt a lot more relaxed and proud.

But as soon as he raised his head in the next second, he saw his grandfather's eyes twinkling with surprise, looking straight at the courtyard door...

Xiao Liren followed his grandfather's gaze.

After everyone was in an uproar, he saw a familiar figure that he hated to the bone among several figures coming from outside the courtyard gate, walking straight forward.

"It's Master Wangchu!" The butler Lao Liu's eyes lit up, and he spoke loudly.

Xiao Guanxiong nodded, with a smile on his face, his expression became brighter.

As soon as he appeared on the stage, he could attract everyone's attention. Undoubtedly, Xiao Wangchu had this capital.

No matter in terms of appearance or demeanor, he is unparalleled in beauty and imposing, and there is no one else in the entire imperial capital.

But when people approached, everyone couldn't move their gazes over there.

Because, next to Xiao Wangchu, who was dressed in a neat suit, was a beautiful woman with icy muscles and bones under the background of a blue dress, holding his arm at this moment, smiling gracefully and calmly.

Taking a closer look, the heroic spirit between the beauty's brows is even rarer.

Looking at her, her big smiling eyes curved downward like crescent moons, as if she could talk, and she was extremely beautiful.
