Old Master Xu had no idea that his old friends had already degraded Xu Haochen to the ground in their hearts, and were still secretly rejoicing.

Yu Sheng's lips curled up slightly, but the smile did not reach her eyes.

Old Master Xu had helped her a lot in her previous life, and she was extremely grateful, but she would never marry Xu Haochen because of that.

Xu Haochen puts on the cloak of a love saint and dares to claim that he is loyal and unwavering in love, but in fact he is a complete scumbag.

Such a person is both hypocritical and disgusting. Whoever marries him will be unlucky.

What's more, among the murderers who caused her tragic death in her previous life, Xu Haochen was one of them.

She crawled out of hell in this life just to take his life.

Engagement was out of the question.

Everyone was unaware of the grudge between Xu Haochen and Yu Sheng, so after a brief moment of shock, they gave their blessings.

Old Liu and Old Yu, however, were like closed-mouthed clams, not saying a word.

The others just thought that the two of them were still angry with each other and laughed and joked a few times.

Mr. Xu sat in the lounge for a while, then, accompanied by Xu's father, he got up and went to another private room.

After everyone left, Elder Liu pulled Yu Sheng aside and asked seriously, "What's the matter with the engagement? Why didn't you tell me about it?"

Yu Sheng said in a low voice, "Teacher, this marriage cannot be arranged."

As soon as Mr. Liu heard this, he realized that there was something else going on.

Noticing that many people were looking at them, Mr. Liu nodded slightly and did not ask any more questions.

Soon, it was time for the birthday banquet to begin.

Father Xu entered the lounge and invited everyone to take a seat in the hall.

Although Yu Sheng really wanted to sit at the same table with seniors like Mr. Liu and Mr. Wan, she came to the banquet with Yu Deyan today, so she could only sit with Yu Deyan and Yu Ziang.

There were many guests attending the banquet and the banquet hall was packed.

After most of the people had arrived, the emcee came on stage and began to liven up the atmosphere. He then talked about how Mr. Xu started from scratch and built such a huge foundation in Yuncheng.

Yu Sheng listened very carefully, but Yu Ziang beside him looked around with his eyes darting around, wondering what he was thinking.

After the host finished his speech, the birthday banquet officially began.

First, Xu's father brought Qin Yulian and Xu Haochen to the stage to congratulate Mr. Xu and presented him with birthday gifts in public.

The Xu couple presented a painting of pine and crane longevity by a contemporary master of traditional Chinese painting, which symbolizes longevity, good fortune and health.

Mr. Xu accepted it with a smile.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Haochen presented a jade ruyi made of mutton-fat white jade.

Under the light, the jade ruyi has a delicate and oily feeling and is crystal white. It is obviously the finest mutton-fat white jade.

There were constant exclamations from people in the audience who knew the value of the goods.

Mr. Xu's smile widened.

After the gift-giving session, it was Xu's father's turn to speak. He first thanked the guests for coming to the birthday party, and then delivered a birthday speech to Grandpa Xu on behalf of the whole family.

The guests cooperated well and gave applause.

At the end of the ceremony, Mr. Xu also came on stage to give a speech.

Just when everyone thought that the matter was about to end and was preparing to start the banquet, Mr. Xu suddenly announced in public that Xu Haochen and Yu Sheng would be engaged in June next year.

Instantly the banquet hall exploded.

The guests who knew the Yu family immediately turned their eyes to Yu Deyan and the other two, and the people sitting at the same table with them looked at them with interest.

Yu Deyan was not at all panicked, and nodded to everyone with a cheerful face.

Yu Ziang had a stern face and tried his best to suppress his anger.

In the end, he listened to Jinlan's words and knew that he could no longer act so willfully and cause trouble in public as he did before.

At any other time, he would have picked up the plate in front of him and thrown it into the village girl's face.

Yu Sheng had no expression on her face and calmly accepted everyone's generosity.

"Boss Yu, congratulations!"

"Congratulations to Director Yu for finding a good husband. On the day of the engagement, I will definitely come and ask for a glass of wedding wine."

"Miss Yu and Mr. Xu are a perfect match, talented and beautiful."

"..."

The real person smiled and congratulated Yu Deyan, but in his heart he was cursing him for his bad luck.

Anyone who is a little sensitive to the market can see that Yu’s Jewelry Group has been on a downward trend in recent years, especially after the Yu Tang scandal, Yu’s Jewelry’s turnover was halved.

In fact, it was surprising enough that Yu’s Jewelry could survive this public opinion storm. They did not expect that Yu Deyan could even become a relative of the Xu family.

Did Yu Deyan cast a spell on Mr. Xu, or was it because Mr. Xu was old and confused that he made such a decision?

"Haha, you are all friends of my Xu family. You must come to support us when the time comes. Thank you very much."

Old Master Xu didn't seem to notice the strange expressions of the crowd. He said the last sentence with a smile and returned to his seat with the help of Xu's father.

Faced with a table full of delicious food, many guests experienced the feeling of being unable to eat for the first time.

They felt like they were being scratched by a cat, and were extremely curious about how the Xu and Yu families got together.

Only a few senior business people guessed the reason and smiled meaningfully.

The birthday party ended successfully. Some people were eager to leave, while others stayed to expand their network.

Yu Deyan is the second type.

Because of the marriage between the two families, he became the object of everyone's pursuit, and countless people raised their glasses, wanting to ask answers from him.

Yu Deyan was enjoying the treatment of being the center of attention in the banquet hall, while Yu Sheng, Liu Lao and others went to the lounge again.

This time, Mr. Xu was also there.

Because he must be present in the next step.

"Old Xu, please open our eyes. Master Zhang's pine and crane longevity painting is rare."

"That jade ruyi is also very good. I haven't seen a high-quality jade ruyi for a long time."

"The gifts given by Old Xu's children and grandchildren are so good that I am embarrassed to take out the birthday gifts I prepared."

"..."

Antiques require sharing. If someone is lucky enough to find a good treasure, he or she will not hesitate to invite friends around to come and see it. One reason is to show off, and the other is to learn from each other.

At this time, the old veterans in the antique world gathered together to appreciate the birthday gifts received by Mr. Xu.

Old Master Xu promptly had a long table prepared, and then placed the pine and crane longevity painting and the jade ruyi on the table for people to appreciate.

Then, while everyone was admiring the gift, he asked someone to bring in the other gifts he had received.

Before this, he had specifically instructed that only things related to antiques should be sent in.

Otherwise, some gifts are not suitable to be shown in public.

Yu Sheng didn't want to compete with her seniors for a seat, so she stood in the corner.

From her perspective, all she could see were the backs of her seniors.

She smiled slightly, and her special ability was activated. The pine and crane longevity painting and the mutton-fat white jade on the table appeared in front of her in 360 degrees without blind spots.

Mutton-fat white jade is truly the finest quality jade. Under the magnification of special abilities, the texture of the jade becomes hard and dense, very sticky and impeccable.

Yu Sheng admired it silently for a long time before shifting her gaze to the painting of pine and crane next to it.

When he saw this, his brows couldn't help but frown.

There seems to be something wrong with this picture?
