With Wu Cong's arrival, many elders and juniors of the Wu family came to the inner hall. Even Wu Cong's father and mother came from the inner court. They were busy preparing for the banquet. When they saw their daughter, they put down their work.
The others only wanted to leave a good impression on Wu Yi. As long as they could get Wu Yi's approval, they and their children would have a bright future.
For example, Shangguan Wan 'er, who had followed Wu Cui since she was young, had now become Wu Cui's right-hand man. Her status in the Wuzhou Group was very high.
"Daughter, your elder sister and third sister will be here soon. I heard that your brother-in-law brought a grandmaster to celebrate his birthday this time. He seems to be from the Wen family of Qishan. Our Wuzhou rarely socialize with families in the Northern Region. This is a good opportunity.”Wu Cong's mother, Yang Huan, said proudly.
She had a boundless life ahead of her. Her eldest daughter was married to the Helan family, and Helan Yueshi was also a master. Her third daughter was also married to the Guo family in Beijing. As for her second daughter, she was the current head of the Wuzhou Corporation. In comparison, Xiang Lifeng's two sons were completely useless. There was no comparison.
When Xiang Lifeng heard Yang Huan's words, the veins in her brain throbbed, but she still maintained a smile. On the other hand, the two brothers, Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang, had ugly expressions on their faces.
As a father, Wu Shi Hui was actually very conflicted. Both sides were his own flesh and blood. He actually wanted his son to be the successor of the Wuzhou Corporation more. However, he had never had the final say in the Wu family. No one dared to disobey the Matriarch's appointment.
"Why do I sound so familiar with this Qishan Wen family?”Li Xuan asked softly.
Wu Cong sneered and said," He's just a hypocrite. He's not worth being associated with. Oh, right, he seems to be your enemy. Your family has a weapons processing plant in Qishan. It seems to be the Wen family's now."”
"Is there such a thing?" Li Xuan raised his eyebrows. It seemed like something was going to happen later!
"No guests have arrived in the morning yet. In the afternoon, many people from the family groups will send people to congratulate you on your birthday. I reckon that there will be many 'acquaintances' of yours. You have to endure it. Today is Grandma's birthday.”Wu Cong said meaningfully.
Li Xuan shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile,"Am I the kind of person who doesn't know my limits? I prefer to stab people in the back when I kill them. It's too low-class to cut them in the open.”
When Wu Kuang heard Li Xuan's words, he almost wanted to turn around and strangle Li Xuan to death.
"Pin 'er, I heard that last night at Xi Shui River, the sword immortal seemed to be sparring with someone. Did anything big happen?”Wu Cong's father, Wu Shi Cong, asked worriedly.
"That's right. I've seen the video. The battle between these grandmasters is too terrifying. The riverbank has even collapsed. Who is fighting with the sword immortal? Do you know Second Sister? By the way, will the Sword Immortal be coming to Grandma's birthday this time?”Wu Yuanqing immediately interrupted, as if he was afraid that he would not have a sense of existence here.
Wu Cong glanced at Li Xuan beside him. This guy was actually eating melon seeds and scrolling through Weibo! And she saw that this guy was actually looking at Qing Qiu Feng Jiu's Weibo homepage! She flipped through the photos one by one and was so angry that she gritted her teeth.
"You'll have to ask Li Xuan about that." Wu Cong suddenly said.
"Ask Li Xuan?"
Everyone was surprised and then looked at him with disdain.
They did not even look at him in the eye during the conversation just now and treated him as air. They hated this " world celebrity " who had married into their Wu family. If it were not for the Matriarch, they probably would not even let him in.
"What? Ask me what?" Li Xuan was actually not very interested in bootlickers like them. He really did not listen carefully.
"They asked about Xi Shuihe last night and whether the sword immortal would come to congratulate him on his birthday.”Wu Cong rolled her eyes at Li Xuan. Although she also hated this group of people, they were still family after all. Couldn't she give them some face?
"Oh, Brother Tai Bai has left and won't be coming. However, Brother Wang Lun told me last night that he would be coming back in the afternoon to celebrate his birthday.”Li Xuan put away his phone and said with a smile.
"Oh, Brother Tai Bai? Brother Wang Lun? Son-in-law, your words are a little scary! Those who didn't know better would think that you were brothers with them.”Xiang Lifeng teased. Her voice was very loud and ear-piercing, causing Wu Cong's face to darken.
Wu Yuanshuang also said,"Li Xuan, we're considered half of our own people. Don't say these things in front of our own people. It'll make outsiders laugh."”
"I'm not on his side. I can't afford to be associated with the world-famous young master.”Wu Cui's second uncle, Wu Han, laughed coldly.
He was a straightforward person. When the Matriarch was engaged, he was the first to stand up and oppose it. Naturally, he did not have any polite words to say to Li Xuan.
"Alright, alright. Why are you being so sarcastic? It was her mother's birthday today, and it was a mess.”The warrior shouted coldly.
Although he did not like Li Xuan either, he was still his daughter's husband. The Matriarch also liked him very much. Of course, he knew that criticizing Li Xuan in public would definitely make his daughter feel uncomfortable. Even if his daughter did not like him, they were still husband and wife in name, and Wu Cong was a person who cared about his face.
"Let's go, let's go. We still have things to do. Why are we gathered here?”The warrior waved his hand and said impatiently.
Under the chase of the warrior, soon, only Wu Kui and Li Xuan were left.
"Yo, you can even take this?" Wu Cong asked with a smile. She thought that Li Xuan was going to show off his strength to scare them. Who knew that Li Xuan would smile and ignore them completely.
Li Xuan chuckled and continued to take out his phone to open Weibo."There are many people who want to slap faces. It's boring to slap your Wu family's faces.”
"You really have a bad taste." Wu Cong shook his head and sneered.
"Hey, even Bai Feng Jiu has a Weibo account, why doesn't Bai Qian have one? I didn't find it?" Li Xuan suddenly took the phone and asked Wu Cong with a puzzled expression. He did not care about Wu Cong's mocking words just now.
Wu Cui's face turned cold. She pinched Li Xuan's arm fiercely. Her beautiful eyes flickered with anger. She gritted her teeth and said,"It's none of your business whether he has Weibo or not!”
