Chapter 340: Birthday Banquet (2)

“Hmph, Liu Bolin, how did you know that we came to the little girl’s birthday banquet and didn’t bring any gifts? Let me tell you, we came prepared.” As he spoke, Yuwen Hou took the lead to take out a small brocade box from his pocket, he handed it to Chen Meng’er: “Here, little girl, this is a gift from your Grandfather Yuwen. As for your Grandmother Yuwen, as well as Jing, they will send their own gifts.”

“Thank you, Grandpa Yuwen.” Chen Meng’er accepted the gift from Marquis Yuwen without any hesitation.

With the prompting of Marquis Yuwen, Elder Xu and the others also took things out from their pockets. It was unknown whether these Elders had discussed it beforehand, but what they gave Chen Meng’er was either He Tian jade or jade of good quality, each of them was worth quite a lot. From the gifts these Elders gave, it was enough to see their intentions.

When Chen Meng’er received the gifts, she carefully memorized what the Elders had given her. Chen Meng’er was the kind of person who would repay you double if you treated her well.

Therefore, in the end, these Elders received a lot of help from Chen Meng’er, which made them sigh more than once about how correct their actions at that time were.

When the guests in the banquet hall saw that these high and powerful elders had already taken out their gifts, they also took out the gifts that they had prepared. Some of them saw the gifts that the old elders had given out and felt that the gifts that they had prepared were not presentable, so they went out to ask their secretaries to quickly prepare new ones.

Most of them had already planned it beforehand. The guests who brought their own children and children with gifts came to get in touch with Chen Meng’er, the young lady of the Green Gang.

For a moment, Chen Meng’er was surrounded by people.

Chen Meng’er looked at the unfamiliar people and the fawning or fake smiles on their faces. She was a little annoyed. But the expression on her face had always been perfect. It was obvious that she was a socialite of noble birth.

Chen Ping and Liu Juan looked at the exceptionally dazzling Chen Meng’er who was surrounded by the crowd. They were very proud that this was their daughter. She was the treasure they held in their hands.

Zheng Yannan did not have the magnanimity to put away her prejudice against Chen Meng’er and fawned on Chen Meng’er according to her parents ‘wishes.

However, Zheng Yuan, Huang Yujuan, and the others did not know that their daughter had a grudge with the Little Miss of the Green Gang, Chen Meng’er. They were still urging their daughter to build a good relationship with Chen Meng’er.

Zheng Yuan felt old when he saw his daughter standing there in a daze. He lowered his voice, he reprimanded, “What’s wrong with you today? You’re in a daze. Where’s your usual cleverness? Why do you think your grandfather asked me to specially bring you along today? It’s because he wants you to build a good relationship with the Little Miss of the Green Gang.”

Zheng Yuan was really old. He could see his opponent’s daughter, and his son was currently circling around the Little Miss of the Green Gang. He was just afraid that if he was not careful, his opponent would snatch him away first.

Huang Yujuan saw that her husband was really angry, and she hurriedly pushed her daughter. “Nan Nan, why are you still standing here foolishly? Hurry up and go.”

Zheng Yanan was pushed out by her mother. She turned around to look at her father’s darkened face, and her heart trembled. In the end, she suppressed the unwillingness in her heart and took the gift from her father to give to Chen Meng’er, she followed her parents and walked in the direction of Chen Meng’er.

As soon as Zheng Yuan walked in, he heard that in this general election, his biggest competitor, Nangong Zhen, had brought his son, Nangong Yan, and his daughter, Nangong Lin. They were chatting passionately with Elder Liu and the other senior officers. His heart was filled with hatred, he glared fiercely at his daughter, who could not do anything but ruin everything.

Then, he adjusted his facial expression and took a few quick steps forward. “Haha, Elder Liu, all the old leaders. I am Zheng Yuan of the Zheng family, the vice mayor of S City.”

The moment Zheng Yuan came up, he introduced himself.

All the old men present had heard of the Zheng family in S City, but they didn’t take the Zheng family seriously. On the other hand, Elder Xu, who had some friendship with the old man of the Zheng family, saw Zheng Yuan and followed up with a question, “Oh, it’s Yuan. Where’s your father? Why didn’t I see him today?”

“Oh. My father wasn’t feeling well, so he couldn’t come. He asked me to apologize to Elder Liu and to his little girl.” If Elder Xu hadn’t asked, he would have really forgotten about this matter. He quickly explained to Elder Liu. Otherwise, if Elder Liu misunderstood that his father didn’t value the Green Gang, that would be bad.

“Oh, with the changing seasons, it’s easy to have health problems. Your father should take good care of himself.” Elder Liu didn’t care at all whether Elder Zheng would be there or not. This time, he did not care about his precious granddaughter’s request and threw Chen Meng’er’s tenth birthday party. He had his own plans. Therefore, he did not care about this insignificant person.

Chen Meng’er, who was standing beside Elder Liu and the others, felt that there was an overly intense gaze on her. She subconsciously raised her head and met Zheng Yannan’s eyes, which were burning with jealousy.

When Chen Meng’er met Zheng Yannan’s unfriendly gaze, she was stunned at first. She did not expect to see Zheng Yannan at this occasion. Then, she thought about it and felt relieved. Zheng Yannan was the granddaughter of the Zheng family. Since the people of the Zheng family were here, how could she, the granddaughter of the Zheng family, not appear?

Chen Meng’er looked at Zheng Yannan with an unfriendly gaze. Usually, when she was in school, Zheng Yannan would often target her. Therefore, Chen Meng’er chose to pretend that she did not know Zheng Yannan.

Then, Chen Meng’er calmly moved her gaze away from Zheng Yannan.

However, in Zheng Yannan’s eyes, Chen Meng’er’s move to move her gaze away was a blatant provocation. Chen Meng’er looked down on her, which was why she chose to ignore her like this. The anger in Zheng Yannan’s heart was boiling. If she didn’t know that her parents were by her side, she wouldn’t have cared about Chen Meng’er’s identity and have directly gone up to question Chen Meng’er.

Chen Meng’er didn’t know at all about this move of hers, but it made Zheng Yanan hate her even more. Zheng Yanan felt that Chen Meng’er looked down on her.
