The real daughter is reborn, and the whole family is buried in the crematorium. It's reasonable

Xu family.

"Dad, this is the guest list for tomorrow's birthday party. Can you take a look? Is there anyone missing?"

Father Xu handed the printed list booklet to Mr. Xu.

Although he had checked it three times before coming, he still had to let Mr. Xu take a look at it personally for such an important matter before he could feel at ease.

Mr. Xu took the list and put it aside, saying calmly, "You have always been sensible in your work, so you don't need to look at it."

Father Xu smiled bitterly.

If his father really trusted him, he would not have kept the company in his hands and refused to give up power.

Old Master Xu seemed not to notice his complicated expression, and instead asked about his grandson's condition, "What has Haochen been doing these days? Is there anything unusual?"

"He studies with me every day, there's nothing wrong with him." Father Xu replied.

Mr. Xu nodded and sighed, "As long as he doesn't blame me."

"Dad, you are thinking about him, how can he blame you?"

Old Master Xu shook his head and said nothing.

Whether Xu Haochen understood it or not, his marriage with Yu Sheng was decided long ago and no one could change it.

"By the way, have you and Yu Deyan agreed on the wedding date?"

Mr. Xu is old and naturally cannot consider everything, so he left the matter of the engagement date to Xu's father.

Father Xu nodded and said, "It's chosen. It will be on June 6th of next year, which happens to be Yu Sheng's eighteenth birthday."

"Ah."

Old Master Xu glanced at Father Xu and frowned.

Back then, he and Lin Zhu agreed that he would return the inheritance to Yu Sheng when she turned eighteen.

Father Xu deliberately chose Yu Sheng's eighteenth birthday to have the feast, and the way he ate was a little too ugly.

Father Xu blushed at the look in his father's eyes and had to defend himself. "The engagement date was proposed by Yu Deyan himself. He said it was a good date calculated by a master."

When Mr. Xu heard that it was Yu Deyan's idea, he felt relieved and stopped asking any more questions. He gave Xu's father a few more instructions, asking him to pay more attention to Xu Haochen's emotions, and then let him leave.

After Xu's father left, Old Man Xu put on his reading glasses, picked up the list booklet placed aside, and checked the names one by one.

As I get older, I become more worried.

……

Saturday.

The Xu family celebrated Mr. Xu’s 70th birthday.

There is an old saying among the people that nothing can last more than ten years.

It means that the tenth birthday is not celebrated, but the ninth birthday is celebrated instead.

Our ancestors paid attention to good luck in words. Since “ten” and “death” have similar pronunciations, they believe that ten is an unlucky word, especially for elderly people.

“九” (nine) has the same pronunciation as “久” (long), and is the largest singular number, meaning longevity. So people move their tenth birthday to the ninth.

So today is actually Mr. Xu’s 69th birthday.

The Xu family has been working in Yuncheng for many years and has extensive connections, so there were many guests attending the birthday party. The Xu family started preparing in the hotel early in the morning.

Xu Haochen followed his father and learned how to arrange hotel affairs and receive guests. He was so busy that he forgot about Yutang for a while.

It was not until Yu Deyan brought Yu Sheng and Yu Ziang to the birthday banquet that Xu Haochen and Xu's father received them together.

Seeing Xu's father and Yu Deyan chatting happily, Xu Haochen avoided his gaze.

"Brother Haochen."

Yu Ziang greeted Xu Haochen happily.

He had always regarded Xu Haochen as his own brother-in-law, and since Xu Haochen saved him with money a few days ago, he now regarded Xu Haochen as his own brother.

Xu Haochen forced a smile.

"Brother Haochen, has Elder Liu arrived?"

Yu Sheng asked with a smile.

Xu Haochen heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Yu Sheng's question and nodded repeatedly, "Mr. Liu has arrived a long time ago. I will take you to see him now."

"Okay, thank you Brother Haochen."

All the guests who came today were from the Xu family, and most of them were friends of Mr. Xu. Yu Sheng didn't want to cause trouble for Mr. Xu at this time, so she went directly to see Mr. Liu.

Yu Ziang originally wanted to go with them, but when he learned that those with Old Liu were all respected seniors, he backed off and did not go.

The place where Mr. Liu stayed was a lounge in the hotel.

Old Liu and a few old men with white hair and beards were sitting together chatting. When they saw Yu Sheng come in, they were very happy and waved to her to come over.

"Come on, little girl Yu, salute the seniors."

Yu Sheng greeted the elders obediently, her voice soft and sweet.

Yu Sheng had met these seniors at the exchange meeting, including the lively Mr. Wan.

When Yu Sheng saw Yu Sheng, she couldn't stop smiling.

"Yu girl, you weren't here just now, but you didn't hear Old Liu praising you to the point of praising you to the sky. We old guys are so envious."

The other elderly people also followed suit.

Yu Sheng pursed her lips and smiled.

It would be inappropriate for her to say anything at this time, so just laugh.

When Elder Liu saw his good disciple being beaten by others, he quickly stepped out to rescue him, "Hey, what are you doing? If you want my disciple, go find one yourself. Don't be jealous and scare my disciple away."

"Old Liu, I don't like what you said. If I could marry a girl as smart and obedient as Yu Sheng, why would I envy you? You are just being ungrateful."

Wan Lao snorted unconvinced.

Old Liu laughed loudly, "This is my ability, you can't envy it."

All the elders present laughed.

Xu Haochen looked at Yu Sheng and a group of old men fighting enthusiastically, with a hint of envy in his eyes.

He had come into contact with these seniors before, but their attitude towards him was rather cold. They just treated him as an ordinary back and were not as close to him as they were today.

Is it because Yu Sheng looks cute that she caught their eyes?

Many speculations flashed through Xu Haochen's mind, but he soon lost interest in them because Xu's father called him away.

He was also half the host of the birthday party, so he naturally could not be absent for a long time and he also needed to entertain the guests outside.

The atmosphere in the lounge became more lively when Xu Haochen was not there.

An old man couldn't wait any longer and wanted to take the exam to become an education student, but was stopped by Old Liu.

"Go, go, go, it's not time yet. The little girl just arrived, you have to let her catch her breath."

In fact, Mr. Liu saw that other friends had not arrived yet, so he planned to wait until everyone arrived before letting Yu Sheng perform.

The others also guessed what Mr. Liu was thinking and pointed at him and smiled without saying anything.

During this time, Yu Deyan also came over to say hello to several seniors, but everyone's reaction to him was also very cold. He felt bored and left quickly.

During this time, people arrived at the banquet hall one after another.
