No. 1 rich family abandons young

Li Shuyao really wanted to marry Wang Ziwen right away, and be a fairy couple that everyone envied.

But she is a person who cares about commitment.

What has been promised must be kept.

In addition, she has been influenced by ancient traditional culture since she was a child, advocating ancient etiquette, so she restrained her own impulse.

"Shu Yao, I didn't expect that I tried to hand in the calligraphy work this year, but I didn't expect it to be done just once." Wang Ziwen said without blushing.

"I really envy you. You are only 25 years old, and you have already been specially recruited by the Provincial Book Association. I want to learn from you and strive to get a good ranking in the Chinese painting competition held by Jianghua University."

Li Shuyao didn't doubt the authenticity at all, because Wang Ziwen's persona was that kind of modest gentleman since he was a child.

Not only Li Shuyao thinks so, but almost everyone in the whole province thinks the same.

In the eyes of the people in the provincial capital, this is a pair of golden boys and girls, both of whom can play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and are from a scholarly family.

"Shu Yao, you can do it too. The results of Jianghua University's traditional Chinese painting competition should be out soon. Maybe it will be today. With your level, at least the top three." Wang Ziwen smiled and comforted Li Shuyao softly.

"I will work hard to catch up with you." Li Shuyao said, "Okay, let's go to Chunfeng Building to entertain guests."

Today, the Li family has reserved the Chunfeng Building.

Chunfenglou is a time-honored restaurant with a history of one hundred years in the provincial capital.

Although it has been repaired and repaired long ago, the golden signboard "Chunfeng Building" has always been there.

If you are tired of five-star hotels, you can go to Chunfenglou to experience the charm of time-honored restaurants.

Dining here is not only food, but also culture.

Li Shuyao and Wang Ziwen went to Chunfeng Building together. Although the two had no physical relationship, the Li family already regarded Wang Ziwen as their future son-in-law.

And the Wang family has already regarded Li Shuyao as their future daughter-in-law.

This point, both of them acquiesce.

By the end of this year at the latest, a wedding will be held for Li Shuyao and Wang Ziwen.

For this birthday banquet, only the Wang family was present among the four major families in the provincial capital. The Song family and the Qi family were not friendly due to competition in the business world.

However, apart from the big family, Li Hanlin has quite a lot of friends from all walks of life.

What worried the Li family the most was the appearance of Shen Lang.

If the Wang family knew about the marriage contract between Li Shuyao and Shen Lang, it would be difficult.

However, the rich and powerful in the whole city knew about Li Hanlin's birthday banquet, and even if they wanted to hide it, they couldn't hide it.

Now Li Hanlin only hopes that Shen Lang will not appear at his birthday banquet.

Even if it appears, I hope Shen Lang can have self-knowledge and understand the reason why toads can't eat swan meat.

But just two hours later, Shen Lang still appeared in Chunfeng Tower.

At this moment, Li Hanlin was chatting with the head of the Wang family, Wang Qingming.

Wang Qingming is Wang Ziwen's grandfather, together with Song Zhiyuan, Qi Yanwang, and Li Hanlin, they are called the four elders of the provincial capital.

"Dear family, your birthday banquet today is very grand. There are many friends here. The [-]th birthday is a great event. You should drink two cups more." Wang Qingming said with a smile, narrowing his eyes.

"Haha, I'm happy with you. I heard that your family, Ziwen, has been recruited as a member by the Provincial Book Association. Ziwen is only 25 years old, and he is the youngest member. He has a bright future." Li Hanlin also congratulated with a smile.

"It's our Ziwen, hahaha." Wang Qingming laughed from ear to ear.

"That's right, it's our Ziwen." Li Hanlin was so happy that his old eyes narrowed into a line.

But in the next second, Li Hanlin's smile stopped abruptly.

Shen Lang was standing not far away, walking towards him.

"Mr. Li, I'm here to celebrate your birthday today. I wish you good luck like the East China Sea, and a longer life than Nanshan." Out of courtesy, and for Master Yun's entrustment, Shen Lang congratulated Li Hanlin on his birthday formally.

However, Li Hanlin didn't even bother to raise his eyelids, he just nodded slightly without responding.

"This is a congratulatory gift from me." Shen Lang held a wooden box in his hand.

This wooden box looks very old.

And on the outside of the box, there is no decoration.

Li Hanlin just glanced lightly, and his eyes didn't stay any longer.

Although he tried his best to hide it, there was still a look of disdain in the corner of his eyes.

In his eyes, a mere broken wooden box cannot enter his eyes at all.

Moreover, he felt that Shen Lang's status was low, and he would definitely not be able to offer any valuable gifts, just a quick glance.

"Well, put it in the butler's place."

Li Hanlin nodded, waved his hand lightly, and motioned for Shen Lang to send the birthday gift to the butler of the Li family to record it.

Wang Qingming, who was at the side, was curious about this dilapidated wooden box.

"Young man, what's in your box?" Wang Qingming pointed.

Before Shen Lang could respond, Li Hanlin wanted to drag Wang Qingming away.

Li Hanlin was worried that his granddaughter Li Shuyao and Shen Lang had a marriage contract, and was said to have leaked.

Although he understands that paper can't hold fire, sooner or later he will have a showdown with the Wang family, but he doesn't want to be known by Wang Qingming at today's birthday banquet, after all, today is his big happy event.

"Old Wang, let's go and rest for a while, when the birthday banquet officially begins, when we are tired."

As Li Hanlin said, he was about to drag Wang Qingming away.

While Wang Qingming was walking, he asked, "Old Li, which family's junior is this guy? Why have I never seen him before?"

"An unknown guy with no family power, just here to get acquainted. You also know that there are many rich and powerful people at the birthday banquet today. I guess he wants to take this opportunity to meet rich and powerful people. This kind of people I’ve seen it too much, so I can only say it’s fantastic.” Li Hanlin said.

"The gift he gave is very special. It's the first time I've seen a gift in such a dilapidated wooden box. At least I have to pay attention to the packaging. Is there something strange?" Wang Qingming talked about the gift from Shen Lang again.

"This kid is ignorant. It's not like I'm a money fan. Today is my [-]th birthday. He brought a broken box. He deliberately buried me!" Li Hanlin said angrily.

"Perhaps, there is something special about the wooden box, and the things inside may be very precious." Wang Qingming guessed.

"Impossible, you don't know, old Wang. This kid used to collect waste products. Maybe he picked up a broken box in the garbage dump and regarded it as a treasure. I will ask the housekeeper to throw away the broken box later, otherwise it will be too late." Bad luck!" Li Hanlin's tone became more serious, and his emotions became agitated.

"Throw it away? It's not good, Lao Li, you have to see what's inside first." Wang Qingming felt that Li Hanlin was a little too aggressive.

"Don't look at Lao Wang, you have to throw it away, bad luck!" Li Hanlin became more and more angry as he thought about it.

Not only that, Li Hanlin also planned to arrange Shen Lang in the lowest seat.

Shen Lang's arrival today already made him very unhappy, and seeing Shen Lang take a broken box as a birthday gift made him even more resentful.

And arranging Shen Lang in the lowest seat can also try to avoid contact between Shen Lang and the Wang family, and minimize the probability of exposing that matter.
