Coming of age ceremony was something only a well-off family could do.
For Su Hao, who was from an ordinary family, no one would have the time to do a coming of age ceremony. He vaguely remembered that on his 18th birthday, his mother added an extra egg to his bowl …
That was all.
But it was this egg that made him feel warm for a whole day. Every time he thought about it, he would feel warm. The 18th birthday, no matter what, was an important day.
Thus, Chen Yiran's coming of age ceremony was something he must attend!
For a whole day, Su Hao appeared and disappeared like a ghost. No one knew what he was preparing. Even when Su Ling was curious and asked, she was chased out by Su Hao.
Until the afternoon, Su Hao came back tiredly.
"Ah, brother, what happened to you?"
Su Ling saw her brother coming back and quickly went to support him. She frowned, "You consumed so much energy. Brother, what did you do?"
"Nothing." Su Hao smiled, "I will change my clothes and leave."
"Don't!"
Su Ling pressed him on the sofa. Her small chest puffed up and pretended to be strong, "Sit here obediently!"
Su Hao was speechless.
Su Ling let Su Hao sit properly and then gently rubbed his shoulder with her small hands, "Brother, take a rest. Later, you will go to Sister Yiran's coming of age ceremony. You don't want her to see you like this, right?"
"Oh."
Su Hao closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
He had prepared everything he needed to prepare. Tonight, it was destined to be a feast …
"Hong!"
A lightning flashed in the sky, illuminating the entire night sky of Jianghe City.
Not knowing why, today's weather seemed to be a bit different.
Chen family, garden villa.
Countless people were moving around. More than half of the rich people in Jianghe City were gathered here. Countless people were trying their best to squeeze in here.
Not only because it was Chen Yiran, but in fact, 90% of the people here didn't know this big miss of the Chen family. For them, this was a gorgeous gathering for making friends.
Enemies, friends, allies, whatever information they wanted, it was all here.
It was almost eight o 'clock, and the party had already started. The red wine swayed, elegant and indifferent. Everyone here had an extraordinary bearing, full of grace and elegance. They chatted in groups of twos and threes. Occasionally, they would chuckle and talk in an elegant manner. Whether it was because of their personality or because they were pretending, this was the appearance of the upper class in Jianghe City.
At eight o 'clock sharp, the noise gradually disappeared. Everyone looked up and saw a young girl slowly walking down the stairs at the corner of the hall. She was wearing a white dress, and the delicate lace accentuated her fair legs. She was tall and slender, and her exquisite curves were completely outlined.
"Hiss …"
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. Chen Yiran was used to being plain and simple. Who would have thought that after dressing up a little today, she would look like a goddess, stunning countless people!
With a faint smile, Chen Yiran glanced around, revealing a trace of disappointment.
He … still didn't come?
Chen Haonian and his wife walked down the stairs. Both of them were dressed in formal attire. It was obvious that they were very interested in their daughter's coming of age ceremony.
Noticing his daughter's expression, Chen Haonian sighed in relief.
Su Hao didn't come!
This is great!
In such a scene, if Su Hao came, it would cause a huge mess. After all, although there were many rumors, almost everyone knew a little bit about it. However, it was still under the table. For some matters, if it was blown out of proportion, it wouldn't be good for either of them. Plus … he had more important things to do today!
"Haha, Old Chen! I'm not late, right? "
A domineering voice could be heard. Sun Yaotian strode in from the outside.
"Of course not."
Chen Haonian smiled, "Without your words, how would I dare to start this banquet?"
"Well said!"
Sun Batian laughed, "It's about time to start. Everyone is here to attend Yiran's coming of age ceremony, not yours. You can't let everyone starve."
Everyone burst into laughter.
Chen Haonian helplessly said, "Since Chairman Sun has spoken, then let's start. My precious daughter, born during the chaotic era of origin ability, has made us worry a lot. Now that she's 18 years old, one of our wishes has been fulfilled. Thank you for coming to bless us. Forget about other things, today we must eat our fill! "
"Don't mention it."
"You're too polite."
"Brother Chen, you can't say that." A 30 to 40 years old fatty stood up and said in dissatisfaction, "Everyone is here for Miss Yiran's coming of age ceremony. In order to prepare a gift for Miss Yiran, we have gone to many places. Since no one said anything, this fatty will give Miss Yiran my blessing first. "
As he said this, the fatty took out a green jade box and handed it over.
Everyone showed an interested look.
Giving a gift before the banquet, this was an interesting part. Many companies in Jianghe City were looking forward to cooperating with Chen family. If the gift could make Miss Yiran like it, Chen Haonian would wave his hand and their company would be able to climb up the Chen family's thigh. From then on, they would have a meteoric rise.
For a real big company, the gift also represented the scale of the company. If the gift was too little, others would look down on you and say that they have no choice but to cooperate with you.
For thousands of years in China, gift giving was definitely a skill.
Chen Yiran gently opened the jade box. Her eyes revealed a trace of surprise. That was a sky snow jade ginseng, a top grade medicinal herb! Cultivated under the influence of origin ability, after consumption, it could greatly improve the quality of the energy in the body. Its value was at least tens of millions!
"Damn! Sky snow jade ginseng! "
"It's actually real!"
"This fatty is really ruthless this time!"
While the crowd was amazed, they were also distressed. This fatty, the moment he appeared, he gave out such an expensive gift. As for the rest of them, could they still give out those gifts?
"Not bad."
Chen Haonian saw that his daughter was quite satisfied and smiled, "Fatty, it seems that your business is quite good recently."
"Hehe, thanks for Brother Chen's care."
Fatty chuckled. He understood in his heart that this relationship had been established!
Seeing that fatty had won, the crowd began to send out their prepared gifts. All kinds of magical herbs, cultivation techniques, accessories, and so on were all sent in front of Chen Yiran. However, except for the sky snow jade ginseng at the beginning, Chen Yiran's face didn't have the slightest change.
Yue Ying quietly appeared beside Chen Yiran. Grabbing her little hand, she felt a burst of coldness. Only she understood Chen Yiran's current mood.
Just now, she deliberately went outside to take a look, but she still didn't find Su Hao.
It could only be said that Su Hao … didn't come at all!
"Yue Ying." Chen Yiran said softly.
"Don't worry."
Yue Ying comforted her, "If he has the heart, he will definitely come."
"Really?"
Chen Yiran pinched the corner of her clothes and looked at Yue Ying for a while. This big miss who never dressed up stayed in the room for three hours today, learning how to dress up and put on makeup just to let Su Hao take a look.
Too bad …
Yue Ying sighed in her heart.
Soon, everyone's birthday gifts were delivered.
Jianghe City's four big families, in addition to the Sun family, Zhou family and Yue family also sent their own gifts, causing everyone to be amazed. However, everyone knew that the focus this time was on the Sun family!
The Sun family and Chen family had a close relationship. Even Chen Yiran and Sun Yaotian had a contract. However, there was a rumor recently that because of the existence of a young man, there was a crack between the two families. When the immortals fight, the little devils suffer. If both families were to fight each other, the unlucky ones would be them, the cannon fodder.
Fortunately, it seemed that it was just a rumor.
Didn't you see that only the Sun family didn't send a gift?
No matter whether that person existed or not, since he didn't appear on such an important occasion, it meant that he had been disqualified!
"Only the Sun family is left."
"Yea … I knew it. How could the big miss of the Chen family like a commoner student?"
"Yea, I remember that young man was the top student in the natural selection class, Su Hao. However, it seems that it was just a rumor. Although that Su Hao's results weren't bad, he was still quite a distance away from the Chen family. "
"If the rumor is true, then this Su Hao is even worse. Such an important occasion, yet he didn't appear. What's the use of someone who only knows how to hide? "
"I also heard that a student with a bleak future, the big miss of the Chen family, is she someone that he can touch?"
Everyone whispered and discussed in a low voice. At the same time, their eyes were looking at the Sun family.
The Sun family was the last to send a gift. It should be a big gift. However, even a gift worth tens of millions couldn't move Chen Yiran. What was the Sun family going to send?
Everyone was looking forward to it!
Chen Yiran's face turned pale. Her right hand tightly grasped Yue Ying's hand, "He … didn't come."
"With so many people here, maybe it's because of your reputation." Yue Ying comforted her.
"I know."
Chen Yiran sighed, "It's just that I'm a little sad."
More than a little sad!
Yue Ying looked at her expression and bitterly smiled. She quickly changed the topic, "What do you think the Sun family will send you?"
"Not interested."
Chen Yiran shook her head.
Yue Ying smiled gently, "That might not be the case. Look at that young master of the Sun family. At this moment, he is very satisfied. Who knows, he might give you a surprise."
"Him?"
Chen Yiran said in disdain, "After so many years, how could I not know him? Golden jade on the outside but rotten on the inside! He's completely a prodigal son. Even if there is something expensive, it will definitely be prepared by his family. "
Yue Ying shook her head, "That might not be the case. Look, he's coming."
Under everyone's gaze, Sun Yaotian smiled and walked in front of Chen Yiran, "Yiran, happy birthday."
Chen Yiran frowned and didn't say anything.
Sun Yaotian didn't mind at all. He said affectionately, "Yiran, I have chased after you for so many years. I admit that I was a bastard for a long time. But, for you, I am willing to change. In order to give you a gift, I have been preparing since a month ago. Now, I am finally ready. I don't ask for anything expensive, but I beg you to smile. "
"Wow! So touching! "
"Yeah, so romantic!"
Many girls looked at Sun Yaotian like they were infatuated. Even Yue Ying was surprised. This guy, what kind of earth-shattering gift did he prepare?
"This is the gift I want to give you."
Sun Yaotian smiled indifferently and pointed at the door. Everyone was shocked and looked up. They saw a slender and elegant figure slowly walking in from the door.
Chen Yiran looked at this figure in shock. Her eyes were filled with surprise.
No matter what, she would never have thought that Sun Yaotian's so-called gift would be …
