Chapter 413 Come to the birthday banquet with empty hands?
Snapped--
The crisp sound of a slap resounded throughout the courtyard of the Xiao family villa.
Everyone present was shocked!
The old man beat his granddaughter on her birthday.
Is the old man crazy?
Xiao Qingcheng covered her red and swollen cheeks and said in disbelief: "Grandpa, you...why did you hit me?"
Xiao Hongming was so angry that his chest heaved together!
He hated the iron but said: "Why did you apply for a formal divorce? Aren't there still a few days left before the cooling-off period?"
Xiao Qingcheng said harshly: "I divorced my own marriage when I wanted to. Is this still wrong?"
"You unfilial thing! You didn't even inform me of such a big event in advance!"
Xiao Hongming was about to slap Xiao Qingcheng again, but was quickly stopped by relatives and friends of the Xiao family.
"Master, what are you doing on this special day?"
"Old man, please calm down, aren't you just getting a divorce? It will happen sooner or later, it's not worth worrying about!"
"Qingcheng is the one who has the most difficulty, you have to be considerate of her!"
Everyone helped Xiao Hongming sit on the chair.
Xiao Hongming's old body trembled slightly, and his lips turned pale with anger!
He glanced at Xiao Qingcheng, full of disappointment and helplessness!
honestly.
One of the reasons why he asked Ye Tiance to come to this birthday party was that he hadn't seen him for a long time and wanted to meet Ye Tiance.
Another reason is to take this opportunity to let Ye Tiance and Xiao Qingcheng explain their misunderstanding and get back together.
In this way, both parties can withdraw the divorce application before the divorce cooling-off period has expired.
In the end, it was Xiao Qingcheng who took it upon himself to formalize the divorce in advance, causing all his plans to go to waste and leaving no room for maneuver!
Can you not be angry?
Xiao Qingcheng resisted the tears of grievance from flowing down.
"Grandpa, even if you kill me today, the divorce has been finalized. From now on, Ye Tiance and I will go our separate ways, and you don't need to worry about it anymore!"
Bang!
Xiao Hongming patted the table.
"Nonsense! Do you know what you are talking about? Divorcing Tiance, what other path can you take in the future? It can only be a dark road, and then our Xiao family will be finished!"
Xiao Qingcheng said unconvinced: "Grandpa, you are wrong! Everything we have today in the Xiao family is the result of our concerted efforts. Although we have encountered some twists and turns recently, it does not affect the overall situation!"
Zhang Huilan also echoed: "That's right, Miss Liu is very fond of our family. With the help of the Liu family, our Xiao family will only skyrocket!"
Xiao Nan also said: "Grandpa, I really don't understand why you always protect Ye Tiance? If he really wanted to help the Xiao family, he would have taken action three years ago. There is no need to count on it!"
"Ugh!"
Xiao Hongming sighed deeply.
His expression was full of disappointment and helplessness.
He turned his head and looked at Ye Tiance, and said with emotion: "Tiance, our Xiao family is sorry for you!"
Ye Tiance shook his head and smiled: "Grandpa, there is no need to say that, there is nothing to be sorry for;
Xiao Qingcheng is right, from now on we will go our separate ways and not disturb each other; no matter what my relationship with her is, you are my grandfather and will come to visit you often! "
"Ugh!"
Xiao Hongming's eyes were slightly red and he nodded.
At this point, he knew that no matter how much he said, it would be impossible to save the marriage between Xiao Qingcheng and Ye Tiance.
Maybe this is destiny, you can’t force it!
Watching Xiao Hongming's mood gradually stabilize.
All the relatives and friends of the Xiao family breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, it would be troublesome to make the old man angry again on the big day.
After a simple incident, everyone took their seats and prepared for the birthday banquet!
Xiao Hongming asked Ye Tiance to sit on his left side.
Saw this scene.
All the relatives and friends of the Xiao family had unnatural expressions.
I thought that Ye Tiance was just a white-eyed wolf, and now he was an outsider who had nothing to do with the Xiao family!
Why can I sit next to the head of the family at the birthday banquet and be treated so kindly?
Is it worthy?
Therefore, naturally some people are unbalanced!
I saw Xiao Nan glance at a distant cousin named Xiao Hang at the same table.
The latter nodded.
He stood up and cupped his hands to Xiao Hongming and said: "Uncle, today is a good day for your birthday. As a junior, I naturally have to give you a gift. Please accept it!"
I saw him take out a box and put it on the table.
After opening, it contains exquisite tea leaves!
Xiao Hang introduced: "This is a high-quality Dahongpao that I bought through my connections. Although it only costs two taels, it is worth more than 20. I gave it to my uncle as a birthday gift!"
Xiao Hongming nodded and said, "Thank you for your trouble."
Xiao Hang smiled and said: "This is what juniors should do, don't bother!"
With Xiao Hang taking the lead, relatives and friends of the Xiao family present presented gifts one after another.
Antiques, jades, valuable calligraphy and paintings, etc. are generally worth tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands.
Xiao Qingcheng gave an ebony cane as a gift, which is also a treasure!
Xiao Nan gave a piece of Ganoderma lucidum.
The Ganoderma lucidum looks like an umbrella, is purple with gold in color, and has a warm luster.
see it.
Xiao Hang exclaimed and asked: "What a beautiful Ganoderma lucidum, what kind is this?"
Xiao Nan said proudly: "This thing is Thousand Purple Ganoderma. After taking it, it can prolong life and strengthen the body. It is most suitable for grandpa. It is very hard to find!"
Xiao Hang immediately cooperated and asked: "Such an awesome effect must be very precious, right?"
Xiao Nan smiled and said: "It's about more than 300 million. Although it's a little expensive, it's worth it as a birthday gift for grandpa!"
Relatives and friends of the Xiao family could not help but praise:
"Xiao Nan finally grew up and became sensible. He is so filial to his grandfather!"
"Buying more than 300 million Ganoderma lucidum as soon as I asked for it shows my filial piety!"
"If the owner of the house takes this Ganoderma lucidum, he will definitely live longer and remain youthful forever!"
"..."
Xiao Hongming also nodded slightly.
After all these years, Xiao Nan finally did something normal!
Xiao Nan couldn't help feeling proud after being praised.
"There's no need for you to praise me like this. I just did what a grandson should do. It's better than some people calling me grandpa in various ways, but actually coming here to eat and drink for free without even bringing a gift. That’s so nice!”
Swish--
Everyone present looked at Ye Tiance with strange eyes.
It was obvious that Xiao Nan was talking about him.
The atmosphere immediately became awkward.
Xiao Hongming coughed lightly.
He smoothed things over and said, "It's just a birthday. It doesn't matter if you don't give me a gift. There's no need to take it too seriously. Forget it."
Xiao Nan obviously didn't want to let it go.
"Grandpa, how can it be okay to give a gift? I don't care about how valuable the gift is, but I care about the thought. Even if he only gives a thermos cup today, it is much better than having empty hands! Everyone said, isn't it? ah?"
Everyone nodded in agreement:
"That's right, you can just buy any gift. I think he just doesn't have the intention!"
"As stingy as ever, no wonder Qingcheng divorced him, I would have divorced him too!"
"Look at Xiao Nan's Ganoderma lucidum, and then look at you. They don't look shabby in comparison!"
Everyone pointed and pointed, wishing to reduce Ye Tiance to the dirt!
Although Xiao Qingcheng didn't speak, his expression wasn't very good either.
He spent 2000 million on gifts for two women, Han Ruoyun and Liu Ruyan, but grandpa forgot about them!
I felt even more disappointed with Ye Tiance.
However, Ye Tiance raised his head at this time.
Neither humble nor arrogant, he asked, "How do you know that I didn't give you a gift?"
