Li Xing's birthday banquet was held in the most luxurious hotel in Haicheng, Li Xing was so proud that he directly booked the entire hotel.

But the birthday party only started in the evening, and I arrived in Haicheng early in the morning and went straight to Li's house.

Seeing me, Wan Fei and Li Xing's attitudes were quite different from before. Sure enough, the expensive emerald necklace had a lot to do with it.

Just in time for lunch, Li Xing insisted on letting me stay and have lunch together. I happened to have another purpose, so I didn't refuse.

At the dinner table, Wan Fei graciously served me some food, and said with a smile on her face: "Shishi, the necklace you gave to my aunt, my aunt likes it very much, and she will wear it every time she attends important occasions. Where did you buy the necklace, and my aunt proudly told them that they couldn't buy it, and you gave it to my aunt."

Hearing Wan Fei's three words not to leave the necklace, I smiled obediently, "As long as my aunt likes it, I used to be ignorant and often made my uncle and aunt angry. I will pay attention to propriety in the future."

Wan Fei clicked his tongue, "What are you talking about? We are a family, and your uncle and I treat you as our own children."

"Today's lunch I specially asked the servant to cook. It's all your favorite food. You should eat more." Wan Fei kept adding vegetables to my bowl, and soon my bowl was piled up. a hill.

But I know very well that Wan Fei's enthusiasm and hospitality definitely have another purpose.

Sure enough, later, Wan Fei tentatively said: "Many friends around your uncle have heard that you are in the jewelry business, and they are very envious of your uncle. At the birthday party tonight, you must not embarrass your uncle." !"

As soon as the words came out of my mouth, I immediately understood what Wan Fei meant.

She just hinted that I don't forget to give Li Xing a birthday present at the birthday banquet that night.

I smiled lightly, and didn't immediately take out the prepared gift.

"Don't worry, Auntie. On such a grand day as Uncle's [-]th birthday, I will naturally not be vague."

"That's good, that's good." Wan Fei looked at Li Xing in satisfaction.

Li Xing became polite on purpose, "Well, we are all one family, what birthday gift is not a birthday gift, if you are willing to come, uncle will be very happy."

I never saw Li Ze, so I asked suspiciously: "I heard that my cousin is back, why haven't I seen him?"

"He hasn't returned to China for a long time. Many friends in China have invited him out for dinner and drinks. We can't even see him all day long. I guess he will come back at night."

I nodded thoughtfully.

And at this moment, the servant shouted, "The young master is back! Do you want me to add a pair of bowls and chopsticks for you?"

I heard the sound and looked back, only to see Li Ze walking in, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, obviously he was very happy to play in China these days after returning to China.

Seeing me here, a gleam of surprise flashed in Li Ze's eyes.

I immediately stood up and greeted Li Ze obediently: "Cousin."

Li Ze smiled and said, "I'm not used to hearing you suddenly call me cousin."

Li Xing and Wan Fei also looked at us suspiciously, mistakenly thinking that the two of us had never met before.

Li Xing took the initiative to introduce: "Shishi, your cousin Li Ze is also in the jewelry industry abroad. If you have a chance, you can chat together. You are both in the same industry. There should be a lot of topics."

Li Ze and I looked at each other and smiled, neither of us mentioned the things we met abroad.

At this time the servant came over with the bowls and chopsticks, Li Zeming had already eaten outside, but he still sat at the dining table.

I had finished my greetings, and taking advantage of Li Ze's presence, I simply put down my chopsticks and tentatively mentioned, "Uncle, it just so happened that I came to Haicheng this time, and I thought that after Uncle's birthday banquet, let me Mom's spiritual seat can be returned to the ancestral hall of the Li family."

Li Xing's hand holding the chopsticks obviously paused, but he didn't answer.

Li Ze didn't understand why, but thought what I said made sense, and couldn't help but agree: "Didn't my aunt divorce that surnamed Su? Then her spirit card should be placed in the Li family's ancestral hall."

As soon as Li Ze finished speaking, Wan Fei glared at him.

Obviously, although Li Xing had verbally agreed, he had no real intention to let Li Xue return to the Li Family Ancestral Hall.

I persisted and continued: "Uncle, you promised me before. And my mother had a very good relationship with my grandmother before she was alive. I also hope that she can continue to be by my grandmother's side. It's just such a small wish of mine. , Uncle, you won't reject me, will you?"

I have already put Li Xing here, and Li Ze is also watching, I just forced Li Xing to agree.

Li Xing's expression froze for a moment, and he quickly changed the topic: "Shishi, it's rare for you to come back, so you should stay at home for a few more days. As for your mother's spirit card, wait until after my [-]th birthday party. talk later."

I frowned, apparently Li Xing wanted to drag me down on purpose.

When his birthday party is over, he will find other excuses.

Seeing the displeasure on my face, Wan Fei tried to smooth things over: "Shishi, don't blame your uncle, we have a rule here, you can't do things with the dead and the living at the same time. Wait until your uncle's birthday After the banquet is over, your mother's coffin will be properly placed."

The words have already been said for this sake, and I did not insist on it.Anyway, whether Li Xue's spiritual seat can return to Li's house is not my ultimate goal.

After lunch, Li Ze and I took a walk in the garden, chatting about the stalemate at the dinner table, and Li Ze couldn't help asking his doubts.

"Although I haven't returned to China for a few years, from just now, it seems that the relationship between you and my parents is not very good."

There was temptation in Li Ze's words, but I didn't panic in the slightest. I just smiled lightly and said nonchalantly: "After all, I didn't know my ancestors for a long time, and I didn't get along with my uncle and aunt for a long time. Before, because of my young age, I said a lot of disrespectful things in a hot temper, and this birthday party is also an opportunity to apologize to my uncle."

Li Ze didn't have any doubts about my explanation, but was even more curious about the birthday gift I prepared.

"I heard that you held a jewelry exhibition in China not long ago, and displayed an exquisite tanzanite ring. Such a precious treasure can be found by you. Tonight's birthday gift will not make everyone's eyes shine again, right? ?”

Li Ze is really obsessed with jewelry, for this birthday party, what he looks forward to most is the gift from me.

I put it off on purpose, "Cousin, you are the manager of the Jewelry Auction House in the United States. You haven't seen any treasures. Even if someone's eyes shine, it won't surprise you, right?"

"There are countless treasures in this world, but you can bring shocking surprises every time."

I hooked my lips into a smile, surprise?I'm planning more than just surprises tonight.
