Chapter 575: good daughter
Without Zhang Anfeng's family, the ensuing birthday banquet was peaceful.
On the day of his seventieth birthday, no one wanted to take advantage of this time to make the birthday man unhappy.
Except for a guy who thinks he is the son of the birthday girl and has nothing to fear.
Zhang Lingxuan and Zhang Lingzhou chased their parents out and stopped again when they saw their father's face, which was too dark to see.
If they get close to each other now, will they be used as a punching bag?
“Sister, is it so difficult to get an invitation letter? Dad still has to beg grandpa in such a low voice.”
Zhang Lingxuan looked at his younger brother's stupid face and said, "You don't want to ask your good buddies to find a solution, do you? Just calm down, the circle you are in can't even reach the threshold of the Yuan family."
“Sister, why do you look down on people? I still have a few buddies with good hands and eyes.”
“Then just give it a try.”
“Just give it a try, sister, tell dad and I’ll find someone to get him the invitation letter for Yuan’s charity.”
Zhang Lingxuan watched helplessly as the boy greased his feet and ran away. It took him a while to react.
This is not to share worries for the elders, but to escape from the anger that may spread to him next.
She really believed this kid’s evil deeds!
“Xuanxuan!”
Zhang Lingxuan, who was about to imitate others, froze and turned around.
“Dad, did you call me?”
Zhang Anfeng walked up to his daughter and looked at his eldest daughter with a sullen face, who had not been giving birth at home during this period and was already going further and further into ruin.
“Tonight, I will take you to have dinner with Mr. Hou of the Hou family.”
Zhang Lingxuan subconsciously took a step back, eyes widening in disbelief.
Even Lin Yi, who was following, was stunned, "An Feng, what do you want to do?"
Zhang Anfeng pointed at Zhang Lingxuan, "She stays at home every day and does nothing, and even goes crazy from time to time. The company is struggling to make ends meet. She no longer works in the company, but the money spent is not less. What do you think? What do you want, for such a grown-up person to just rely on his parents to feed him until he dies?" He paused and said, "It's time to play some role!"
Lin Yi opened her mouth to refute, but seeing her daughter’s face getting fatter and duller from all the hard work at home, “Mr. Hou Er?”
"What's wrong with Mr. Hou? After all, he is also a member of the Hou family, and he is also on the dinner list. If he enjoys this meal, Xuanxuan might be able to accompany him to the dinner tomorrow. The old man doesn't want to take that girl with him. Well, I just want the old man to see that we can get in without relying on him!"
As soon as Lin Yi heard her husband's words, she knew that he was getting into trouble, but seeing the person next to her pillow gnashing her teeth, she opened her mouth several times and didn't dare to remind him.
He could only turn around and look at his daughter, and said with difficulty: "Your father is doing this for your own good. You are already thirty now, you are still divorced, and you have no job. If you want to get married..."
Zhang Lingxuan quickly shook his head wildly, "I don't want to get married!"
Zhang Anfeng sneered directly: "You are still thinking about getting back together with Qian Yisheng. Since the last time you called me drunk in the middle of the night and harassed her, your number is still on her blacklist. By the way, give it to her again. Let me tell you the news. Qian Yisheng took his children abroad for further study a few days ago. If he won't be able to come back for two or three years, then you should give up. "
“Ah ah ah…”
What Zhang Lingxuan was planning to scream was the ultimatum from his biological father: "You have to go to this meal if you don't want to go, it's okay if you don't go, just clean yourself and leave the house, the money in the house belongs to me and your mother, your morning Once you pay it off, go rent a house and find a job to support yourself.”
"mom?"
Although Lin Yi owns a high-end restaurant, it was only opened with her husband's support and investment. At this moment, facing her daughter's pleading eyes, she said, "Xuanxuan, my parents will never harm you. Mr. Hou Although you are a bit carefree, there is nothing consistent in our circle. Isn’t it the same with your father... At least you can live a prosperous life without working? You have to learn to be content, right? "
Zhang Lingxuan finally lowered his head, his eyes darkened, "I listen to dad." "This is a good girl for my parents!"

Jiang Lingxi returned to Xiyuan directly after the birthday banquet.
Thinking about taking the elder gentleman to visit the paintings that have been placed in the collection room tomorrow, and then going back to her own residence to do makeup, it would be a bit stressful.
I simply sent another message to Tong Yue and asked her to come directly to Xiyuan tomorrow with the makeup team and the dress.
Tong Yue was silent for a moment after receiving the message.
【Xiaoxi, is there anything I need to pay attention to after arriving at Xiyuan?】
This is her first time going to Mr. Shen's territory, so she cannot be too careful.
Jiang Lingxi: [...tell me when you are about to arrive, and I will have someone pick you up at the gate. Just don't wander around after that, or you might get lost. 】
get lost…
Tong Yue swallowed a mouthful of sour water, nodded and replied: [I understand, treasure! 】
Jiang Lingxi: “…”
Tong Yue and the others sent someone to pick him up, but when Mr. Yuan arrived, it was Jiang Lingxi who went to pick him up personally.
Jiang Lingxi was stunned for a moment when she saw people getting out of the car.
When we met at the birthday banquet yesterday, the old man only wore a somewhat casual Tuanfu pattern Tang suit. But today, he wears a full suit, leather shoes, tie, cufflinks and brooch, and even his hair is neatly styled. I combed my hair back and sprayed some hairspray for visual inspection.
Just look at a painting, is it so grand?
That made her feel a little embarrassed when she came out to greet him wearing the sportswear she wore during morning exercises.
“Mr. Senator, please come in.”
Yuan Hui took out an exquisite cane from the car and looked up at the word "Xiyuan" above the gate. "This word is really good. Was it written by Mr. Shen?"
"Um."
Jiang Lingxi nodded, and while leading people inside, she silently replied in her heart: "I am also the subject of your research."
“He left for the company early this morning. I will accompany you to visit the collection room.”
Yuan Hui smiled and nodded, saying it didn't matter, "As long as the old man can see the painting, that's fine."
“Actually, not only does he have “Blue Waves and Everything”, but he also has a painting called “Guangsha Thousand Chongs”.
They are all made from one old piece, so naturally they are all included.
Yuan Hui originally wanted to appreciate the beauty of Xiyuan more. Even in winter, this garden is still as beautiful as a painting, even worse than that of their calligraphy and painting association.
However, as soon as Jiang Lingxi said these words, his steps immediately doubled as fast.
“Are they all authentic works by the divine painter? Let’s go, then I have to appreciate and appreciate them.”
To this, Jiang Lingxi just wanted to say: The old man’s legs and feet are so good!
Thousands of ancient paintings that are truly well-preserved, not to mention that people are not allowed to get close and touch them with their hands. Not only do they need to be separated by a glass cover, but there are also requirements for indoor lighting to preserve the ancient paintings.
Although these two paintings are actually aged now, in order to strive for authenticity, the same treatment was also done in the collection room.
Jiang Lingxi brought the people there, opened the door, turned on the special light, and was about to invite the people in.
Looking back, he saw the old man taking out a pair of brand new shoe covers from the pocket of his straight suit jacket. (End of chapter)
