Chapter 50 The Merchant's Old Buddha's Birthday Banquet
Chapter 50 The Merchant's Old Buddha's Birthday Banquet
"This is the first time I've seen someone grab such a large amount of money in a group red envelope—1666! That's amazing!!!"
"I am 1999, Sister Wu, I love you 99."
"I'm so happy today that I'm going to share some of my most treasured possessions."
As he spoke, he pulled out a complete set of Yan Wenyu's personal photo album. In the photos, Yan Wenyu was dressed scantily, with fair skin, clear blue veins, and pink in the right places. The photos of his abs and close-up shots were dazzling. He was devilishly handsome and extremely sexually stimulating. His eyes, which looked at the camera, were cold and arrogant, filled with disdain, as if he were looking at trash. Everyone swallowed hard.
"My goodness, who can handle this?!"
"These are even leopard-level."
"Damn it, why didn't you bring out this good stuff sooner? You brat, you've been eating so well behind my back."
Jiang Liwu didn't think much of it at first, until she saw the words "smack me, thank you," "burn my butt with a cigarette butt, thank you," and "bang bang bang," and she couldn't help but widen her eyes and raise her eyebrows in surprise.
“My dear girls, Brother Yu is in the group chat. You can say whatever you want, but be careful not to get kicked out.”
"Waaaaah, the person who was given the tonic was kicked out, and is now begging for mercy on their knees."
Is Yan Wenyu in the group?
Jiang Liwu was instantly drawn to this sentence. She then realized that the group owner was actually Yan Wenyu's manager and assistant, Xiang Rui, known as Rui Ma, because he took care of Yan Wenyu like a mother. The administrator's profile picture was black and the nickname was Y, which should be Yan Wenyu.
After coughing a few times in the group, Xiang Rui tagged Jiang Liwu and thanked her profusely on behalf of Yan Wenyu. He also sent her a private message asking for her address so he could send her a small gift.
Jiang Liwu sent the address, phone number, and name without hesitation.
She added Yan Wenyu's account and it was approved instantly.
Having been blocked and deleted before, Jiang Liwu did not choose to reveal her identity to Yan Wenyu. Instead, after greeting him, she sent some messages of concern for Yan Wenyu's daily life like a little fan.
Yan Wenyu briefly said thank you.
Jiang Liwu replied with an adorable picture of a mother cat hugging and kissing her kittens.
Xiang Rui sent a notification in the group that there would be a fan meeting in Haicheng next week, and he would also take the opportunity to promote the movie "Dear, Come Home", which has been scheduled for release.
It is an educational film about the issue of child trafficking.
This subject instantly reminded Jiang Liwu of Cui Yunye, the sixth child she had raised. Cui Yunye had been abducted as a child, and Jiang Liwu's expression hardened slightly as she looked at him with concern.
"Wu-jie, will you come?" Everyone in the group asked Jiang Liwu.
Jiang Liwu naturally wanted to see Yan Wenyu. "I will."
"Yay! We can see Sister Wu! We can't wait! Sister Wu, we'll be waiting for you!!"
Knowing that Jiang Liwu's address was in Beijing and that traveling to Haicheng required a flight, Xiang Rui immediately offered to book a first-class ticket for Jiang Liwu.
Jiang Liwu did not refuse. Xiang Rui was the closest person to Yan Wenyu at the moment, and getting closer to Xiang Rui was equivalent to becoming familiar with Yan Wenyu.
……
"A birthday banquet?" Song Jinwei's eyes lit up immediately, and she asked eagerly, "Is it the birthday banquet of the Shang family's matriarch?"
Fu Siyue: "Mm."
Song Jinwei's eyes lit up even more. She had heard Fu Qinian mention it, which meant that Fu Qinian would definitely go as well.
She immediately perked up, eager to see Fu Qinian, but she didn't want to go with Fu Siyue. Her eyes darted around, and Song Jinwei suddenly clutched her stomach, collapsing onto the bed and yelling, "My stomach hurts, I can't go! Anyway, I've heard you're taking Jiang Liwu with you, so you can go with her. Why do you care about me?" Song Jinwei pulled the blanket up over her head, turning her back to Fu Siyue.
Fu Siyue assumed that Song Jinwei's stomachache was caused by her hunger strike, and frowned slightly as he said, "Then you should rest well at home."
After leaving the house, he instructed the family doctor to see Song Jinwei and asked the nanny to prepare some stomach-soothing soup or porridge.
Jiang Liwu and Fu Siyue went to the birthday party. Jiang Liwu didn't know whose birthday party it was, and she didn't ask. Anyway, she was just there to keep Fu Siyue company.
The destination was just as crowded with luxury cars as the underground city, and the road to the banquet hall was covered with red carpets.
A black extended sedan came to a smooth stop in front of the red carpet. Fu Siyue got out first and walked around to the other side to open the car door for Jiang Liwu. The first thing that caught his eye was Jiang Liwu's slender, fair, and beautiful feet in high heels. Then he saw Jiang Liwu's delicate hand resting in Fu Siyue's palm, followed by Jiang Liwu's graceful and charming figure. Today, she was wearing a butterfly and flower embroidered fishtail dress, which instantly immersed people in the romance of spring. Around her neck was a heavy diamond necklace with a yellow diamond at the center, which was dazzling and radiant. Her silky black hair fell lazily over her delicate collarbone, making Jiang Liwu even more beautiful and ethereal.
As soon as Jiang Liwu got out of the car, countless admiring and inquisitive gazes were cast upon her. Jiang Liwu was undoubtedly a new face to them. In the past, the only female figure who could stand beside the head of the Fu family was Song Jinwei, the adopted daughter of the Fu family.
The fact that Fu Siyue brought someone other than Song Jinwei to such an important birthday banquet makes people wonder who Jiang Liwu really is.
Jiang Liwu's fishtail dress was a strapless style, revealing a large expanse of skin on her arms and back, which was as white as jade and extremely eye-catching. Noticing that others couldn't take their eyes off her, Fu Siyue frowned and swept his deep, cold eyes over them. The latter were startled by Fu Siyue's displeasure and quickly looked away.
Fu Siyue took out a shawl to cover Jiang Liwu's exposed snow-white skin. The white handmade shawl with lace trim made Jiang Liwu look extremely noble and elegant.
After entering the banquet hall, Fu Siyue led Jiang Liwu straight to the main character of the day, the old lady of the Shang family, who was also respectfully called the Old Buddha.
Fu Siyue presented a national treasure-level birthday gift, which amazed everyone present. However, Old Madam Shang did not even glance at it. Instead, she waved to Jiang Liwu with bright eyes.
Jiang Liwu hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward after confirming that the old lady Shang was calling her.
Grandma Shang, dressed in a dark peony-embroidered cheongsam and adorned with imperial green jewelry, was an elderly woman of exceptional elegance and wealth. Though her face was aged, one could still glimpse the stunning beauty she had possessed in her youth. Her hair, though gray, was meticulously groomed, and she exuded vitality. Upon seeing her, one couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "True beauty lies in the bone structure, not just the skin; time never diminishes a beautiful woman."
Grandma Shang stared intently at Jiang Liwu with burning eyes, tightly grasping Jiang Liwu's hands and saying, "Oh my, I've never seen such a beautiful girl before. She truly is a national treasure." Clearly, in her eyes, what Fu Siyue gave her didn't qualify as a national treasure; Jiang Liwu was the real national treasure.
