As soon as Elder Zeng appeared, he immediately attracted waves of congratulatory voices. Elder Zeng smiled and exchanged pleasantries. During this period, there were many people who had already received accurate news to welcome him. They asked about Shi An's situation. The old man was naturally even more happy. Then, he introduced and thanked Fang Yici and Su Tong.
All of a sudden, there was an endless stream of flattery. Su Tong was not used to the crowd of wealthy people. There were two small whistles in the midst of the applause and praise. Su Tong turned around and saw Xia Mo giving her a thumbs up. He then winked at her, indicating that he had something to talk to him about. Su Tong nodded slightly. When she looked away, she realized that Fang Yici was even more uncomfortable than she was. Her back was straight and her expression was cold. She really did not want to attend such an event just now.
Following Elder Zeng's greeting, everyone took their seats and the banquet was completed.
The banquet hall was twice as high as the floor, and the skylight contained a large area of warm light and mirror elements, creating a high and wide visual experience. The simple lines extended from the floor to the side of the wall and to the ceiling, forming a harmonious whole, presenting a simple modern shape. The hanging glass device was like a splash of water, pouring out a bright light and romance. Over a hundred tables of banquets were scattered all over the place. Thirty to forty graceful girls in cheongsams carried plates of delicious food and shuttled back and forth between the banquets.
Elder Zeng pulled Su Tong to sit next to him, but Su Tong quickly declined. Other than Elder Gu and a few other respected elders, the rest of the people at Elder Zeng's main table were all from the Zeng family. As an outsider with no experience or friendship, how could she dare to sit at this table? She repeatedly declined, and Xia Mo stood up slightly to wave at him.
"Let him go. This kid probably won't be able to eat a meal with us.”Old Gu helped him out.
When Elder Zeng saw that it was Xia Mo, he smiled and said," That's good too. Young people can get along."”
Liang Shengjie, who was sitting at the table next to him, saw that Su Tong was so tactful. His lips curled up, and before his smile could form, he followed Su Tong to the table next to him. When he saw the person next to Xia Mo, their eyes met, and they both turned their heads to look away.
"What's wrong?" Xia Mo asked the person next to him as he moved Su Tong's seat.
"Tsk, who else could it be? It's that grandson of the Liang family.”
Xia Mo raised his head and laughed silently, looking like he owed them a lot." Oh right, let me introduce you. This is the god I've been telling you about, Su Tong. Su Tong, this is my childhood friend, He Kuo.”
He Kuo was the one who had hugged Xia Mo's neck when they first entered the room. One had sharp lips and the other had amorous phoenix eyes. These two people were really flashy. However, they had to admit that these two were flirtatious but not greasy. There was nothing to be picky about their looks. Who knew how many girls had fallen for them, were falling for them, or were about to fall for them.
The two of them greeted each other, and He Kuo naturally put his arm around Su Tong's shoulder." Since you're Xia Mo's friend, you're also my friend. But if you have any good things in the future, don't just think about Xia Mo."”
After being pushed back to their seats by Xia Mo, the two of them bickered.
Looking at the situation, their relationship was indeed quite good, huh? Xia Mo, He Kuo?
Su Tong frowned and realized that things were not as simple as they seemed. She grinned at the two people beside her.
"What are you doing? Why are you smiling so happily after eating bee poop?”Xia Mo felt that Su Tong's smile was an eyesore.
"Your names are interesting." Su Tong's smile didn't diminish.
"What?" Although Xia Mo pretended to be indifferent, his uneasy expression betrayed him.
"The double hook method requires the ink to not appear outside the word, or fill in the outline. I didn't expect you two to be a couple…"
Before she could finish, Xia Mo covered her mouth." Why are you reading so many books for no reason?" It was created by his father and my father when we were just born. Don't worry about these details!”
He Kuo clicked his tongue and said unhappily,"From what you're saying, is it embarrassing to be my couple?"”
Hearing this, Su Tong felt even more gay and could not help but laugh.
"You better shut up. Aren't you on fire? I've already invited the person for you, but you still have the mood to talk nonsense?”
Xia Mo changed the topic, and Su Tong asked curiously,""What is it?"
Hence, Xia Mo lowered his voice and briefly recounted the matter. The general idea was that the birthday gift He Kuo gave to Elder Ceng had been set up by someone, and when the banquet ended, the Ceng family would make a mess of the gift. This news was only found out in the cigar room before the banquet began.
"Is there a problem? Did you buy a fake?" Su Tong was puzzled. Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case. Xia Mo and the others had specially asked Old Gu to prepare the birthday gift for fear of making a mistake. There was no reason for He Kuo to be so careless.
"If it's fake, then it won't be so troublesome. At most, I'll just make a fool of myself and admit defeat.”He Kuo sighed." The one I sent was unearthed not long ago. The police are investigating it.”
Su Tong was stunned for a moment. This was a big problem. The so-called " unearthed goods " were the stolen goods of grave robbers. Sending such things as a birthday gift was no different from hanging an old man to death. Su Tong had lived an ordinary life before. She had never heard of or experienced such a level of scheming. She sighed from the bottom of her heart."Who is it? Why is he so ruthless?"
"You're a useless bastard.”He Kuo cursed in a low voice.
" Oh, grandson. Then Su Tong knows who it is. It's Liang Shengjie."”
"Haha, that's a good question." Xia Mo slapped his thigh in joy and leaned close to Su Tong's ear." It's for the Zeng family's eldest daughter. Didn't you see her? How is it? Isn't she beautiful?"”
Zeng Chuyao. Su Tong nodded." She's pretty."”
"Can the two of you stop watching the commotion and not be afraid of things getting out of hand? Hurry up and think of something." He Kuo didn't know how to taste the food at the moment, and he was completely in no mood to enjoy the delicacies on the table.
Xia Mo shrugged and patted Su Tong.""Didn't I invite him over for you?”
"Me?" Su Tong was in disbelief." What can I do?"!”
"You can't say that. Three heads are better than Zhuge Liang.”
Su Tong was speechless. However, he sorted out the situation and proposed what he thought was the right approach."Hey, why don't you just go get the birthday gift and give it to Elder Zeng tomorrow?”
After saying that, Xia Mo and He Kuo looked at Su Tong as if she was an idiot." Do you think the Zeng family is a place where you can go in and take things? It was already the limit for him to ask the butler to go in and change the things.”
Su Tong nodded. She picked up a piece of shredded eel and chewed it in her mouth. She realized that the two of them were still looking at her." What?”
"If you can get something good now, the problem will be solved.”
" Cough, cough, cough…" Su Tong choked. Seeing that Xia Mo's serious expression didn't look like he was joking, she whispered,""Are you kidding me? I can't change the time and place for you now!”
