Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Story of the Chaebol

"Happy birthday, Father!"

"Happy birthday, Father!"

"Happy birthday, old man!"

"Happy birthday, bro!"

"Your Majesty, happy birthday. This is the gift I prepared for you. I hope you like it."

Looking at the crowd surrounding him, Sun Tong suddenly realized that everyone had gathered together to celebrate his 70th birthday.

After so many years in this world, Sun Tong has forgotten how many birthdays he has celebrated. He only knows that he is really old now.

Although people in the Sun family age slowly, especially Sun Tong, Wen Xi and the other two, even now they look only about 50 years old.

Although their appearance has not changed much, their mental state is really old.

"I didn't expect you guys would prepare a surprise for me. Thank you guys very much. I like the gifts you prepared."

In fact, Sun Tong didn't like this birthday party very much. After all, at his age now, every birthday means he is one year older.

No matter how peaceful Sun Tong's mentality was, at this moment, facing the approach of death, he would be lying if he said he was not afraid at all. But there were some things he could not express, so in the eyes of outsiders, the old man was still very happy about the birthday party held for Sun Tong.

Only the third daughter of Wenxi, who had lived with him all her life, could notice that something was wrong with Sun Tong at this moment.

"Old man~~"

The two Wenxi girls came to Sun Tong with worried looks on their faces. In fact, they could understand Sun Tong's mood at the moment, but if they were asked to persuade Sun Tong, they didn't know what to say to him.

"I'm fine, you guys go do your thing, I'll just sit here for a while."

He forced himself to calm down the three women and waited for Wenxi and the others to go about their own business before Sun Tong silently picked up his glass and drank.

At Sun Tong's birthday party, everyone except himself had a great time.

"Old man, it's boring to stay at home all the time, why don't we go out for a walk?"

"Where to go? We've been to almost all the places we can go in these years. Where else can we go?"

Sun Tong was not uninterested in Bai Xiuzhu's proposal. The main reason was that Sun Tong and his family had been to too many places over the years. If he were asked to go out for a trip now, he really couldn't think of where to go for a while.

"How about we go to Linhai Province?"

The Linhai Province that Bai Xiuzhu mentioned is actually the province composed of the islands of Nanhua in the North Pacific region. Sun Tong has been to many places in Nanhua, but he has never been there even once.

"Okay, let's go to Linhai Province. I don't know what the situation is like there now."

Although Linhai Province is large in area, the population there has never been large because it is made up of small islands.

As far as Sun Tong knows, the entire Linhai Province has a population of only about two million people. This number may not seem large, but it is already the limit of the population that Linhai Province can carry in the current era.

"Mom, why are you guys fooling around with dad? You are so old now. If something goes wrong outside, what will you let us do?"

"We didn't go there alone. We had other people with us, didn't we? What could go wrong? Now that you're all grown up and have your own families, we don't ask you to accompany us every day, but you can't deprive us of our right to go out and play, right?"

As the eldest daughter of the Sun family, Sun Jingruo, the eldest princess of the empire, is the one who has the final say whether at home or outside.

But Sun Jingruo's dominance might work when facing others, but when it comes to her biological mother Bai Xiuzhu, Bai Xiuzhu doesn't care about her daughter's situation. She speaks very directly and tells her daughter that no matter how dissatisfied she is, she has to endure it.

However, it was precisely because of Mrs. Bai's insistence that Sun Jingruo finally agreed to let Sun Tong and the others go out.

They can go out if they want, but this time they need to bring Sun Jingtong with them. With Sun Jingtong accompanying the four elders, the other people in the family can feel at ease.

Sun Tong and his friends naturally would not object to Sun Jingruo's request. After all, Sun Jingtong was getting older and might get married in a few years. Now that they had the opportunity to take their little daughter out to play, Sun Tong and his friends were very happy.

With Sun Jingruo's approval, the other people in the Sun family naturally would not object to Sun Tong and the others going out. As for whether Sun Jingtong is willing to go out with Sun Tong and the others, that has nothing to do with the other people in the family. It doesn't matter whether she is willing or not. Everyone has given you such a responsible job as taking care of your parents. No matter how unwilling Sun Jingtong is, she has to go out with Sun Tong and the others honestly!
