for Advance Chapter
The two stayed in the orchard for a while. By now, most of the people who were going to the dinner had arrived.
As soon as he followed the guard into the house, he saw the pale faces of the Sun and Tao families.
This kind of birthday dinner, which is almost the highest level in Dragon Country, can only be attended by the future successors of the family, the daughter-in-law who has been married, or the son-in-law who has officially married into the family, so the two families naturally did not inform Tao Xiner
. However, they actually saw Tao Xiner here, and although she was a little flustered when she saw them coming, she was well protected by Su Qingya and Liu Qiuhua. Even if they didn't say the meaning, both families knew it.
Tao Xiner actually entered the Su family!
Even if other families who were not very clear about the twists and turns, after seeing the intimate figures of Tao Xiner and Su Qingya, they guessed that a major earthquake was about to happen in the imperial capital.
The only male of the younger generation of the Su family has a partner!
The most helpless and angry among them was naturally Tao Xiner's nominal fiancé - Sun Yi... Sun Yichen.
Although he still forced a smile on his face, his clenched fists expressed the fact that he was unwilling in his heart. However, he was still trying to make amends for himself, hoping that Tao Xiner was only attending the dinner under other names and had nothing to do with Ling Yun.
However, when Ling Yun walked to the center of the venue and took Tao Xiner's hand, everyone knew it clearly, and looked at the Sun family and the Tao family with sympathy or gloating.
Didn't your two families follow Mr. Chang to unite? Now your daughter has run to the Su family, let's see what you can do!
There were three old men sitting at the round table on the other side. In addition to Mr. Su, there were two men with bright eyes and awe-inspiring appearance.
"Old Su, your grandson actually found the daughter of the Tao family. It's really a cause for celebration." The man
who spoke was a man in a Zhongshan suit. His hair was combed very neatly, and the whole person revealed an elegant and domineering temperament. He was Dongtai, who was currently in charge of the power of Longguo, and the man who completely consolidated Longguo's supreme position.
He took over from Su Guosheng. In the past few years, Longguo has been prosperous, which has a lot to do with him.
The other man was a little feminine and serious. His cheeks were long and thin, and he looked at the two young men in the field, but his brows were slightly frowned, as if he didn't expect things to develop like this.
"Xiao Chang, do you have any objections?"
Old Master Su drank a sip of tea happily and said to Chang Zhengde.
"That's not what Old Master Su said." Chang Zhengde smiled slightly. Years of habit made him not express his emotions. "I'm just curious, because the marriage between the Tao family and the Sun family is a done deal."
"What era is it, and you still arrange marriages!" Old Master Su put down his teacup, "As long as the children are happy, the adults should respect their choices."
"What Old Master Su said is very right!"
Listening to Chang Zhengde's reply, Su Guosheng and Dongtai looked at each other and didn't say anything else.
Ling Yun took Tao Xiner to her parents and smiled at them, "Uncle Tao, and Aunt Lai!"
Although Tao Xiner's parents were a little embarrassed, they thought that if their daughter could marry into the Su family, it would be like having an extra way out for them, so that the Sun family would not dare to make random conditions. Everyone knows that Tao Xiner has a bad relationship with the Tao family, so the Tao family may not receive much assistance from the Su family, but if the Sun family goes too far, the Tao family may really use this thin network of connections to make the Sun family fall.
The Tao family may not suffer a loss, but the Sun family has suffered a loss in silence, and they dare not speak out.
"Hey, nephew Ling!"
Tao Yushu hurriedly responded with a smile after figuring out the interests.
Seeing that the Tao family acquiesced to these things, the Sun family could only stay away from here silently and continue to chat with other families. Although they wanted to teach the Tao family a lesson, it was not their subjective intention, and they could not afford to offend the Su family, so they had to give up.
Su Qingya walked between the major families gracefully, with gentle conversation and generosity, which made people from other families very happy.
But they didn't know that such an elegant and beautiful woman had just been filled up by her son in the room.
But Su Jinyao was different. She was sitting with her legs crossed while eating fruit, which made Liu Qiuhua want to beat her daughter out with a stick.
"Dad, I'm sorry, we're late!"
As the eldest son of the Su family, Su Xingguo came late with his wife and daughter. He first apologized to Old Master Su, and then greeted Dongtai and Chang Zhengde.
"Old Master Su, Xingguo's recent work is still worthy of encouragement!"
"Hey, don't I know how good this kid is? You are too fond of him!"
"Hey, it's Comrade Su who has a high level of ideological awareness and is responsible!"
Su Xingguo smiled apologetically. His current status is inseparable from Dongtai's help.
Chang Zhengde also gave an affirmative smile, but his expression was a little subtle.
Qin Shuang and Su Xiaoning came in and greeted him, and then turned their eyes to Lingyun in the field. When they saw the tall and familiar figure, the two women were about to smile and go over, but they found that he was holding a woman's hand.
They all knew the woman, Tao Xiner, the eldest daughter of the Tao family.
Qin Shuang didn't look surprised. Ling Yun was already 20 years old, and would be turning 21 soon. It was normal for him to have a girlfriend.
But Su Xiaoning felt as if the sky had fallen. The smile on her face froze instantly, which made the old man who was observing her smile knowingly. Su Xiaoning and
Ling Yun also saw her uncle's family. After apologetically smiling at the people who were talking in front of them, they took Tao Xiner to the old man Su's side.
"Grandpa, Uncle Dong, Uncle Chang." Ling Yun first called them, and Tao Xiner followed suit, but the slight tremor in her voice showed that she was not calm.
After the three responded, Ling Yun took Tao Xiner to call the uncle's family one by one.
The "cousin" that she liked to hear the most was now a little ironic. The smile on Tao Xiner's lips seemed to pierce Su Xiaoning's heart. After she nodded awkwardly, she found a secluded place and sat down alone.
"This child!"
Su Xingguo felt ashamed. Su Xiaoning was usually very well behaved and was raised by Qin Shuang. Both mother and daughter had the same gentle and generous personalities, but for some reason today, she became very strange.
No one knows a daughter better than her mother. Qin Shuang knew all the twists and turns, but Su Xingguo was busy with work and didn't know.
Ling Yun tried to use a query on the two uncles in front of him, but found that there was no so-called "protagonist" fate. It seems that even if you reach the peak of power, you are not a person shrouded by luck.
After chatting with a few people, Tao Xiner, whose legs were a little weak, was arranged by Ling Yun to go to her aunt's place, and he met Fu Xuehui who was late.
"Aunt Xuehui, you are here so late?"
There are many people here, and Ling Yun is not too intimate with Fu Xuehui. Fu Xuehui reached out to help him straighten his clothes: "I'm leaving soon, and there will be a big move in the bureau tonight."
"Okay, then tell my grandfather."
"Yeah."
After Fu Xuehui responded to him, she still went forward to hug him and kissed him on the cheek: "Remember to think of me."
After the beautiful principal left, Ling Yun found Su Xiaoning who was drinking tea alone.
As the daughter of the younger generation of the Su family, Su Xiaoning is also regarded as a goddess in the hearts of many children of big families. However, she is in a bad mood at the moment, and this is the home court of the Su family, so naturally no one dares to approach her.
"Cousin, it's grandpa's birthday today, why are you not happy?"
Su Xiaoning heard Ling Yun's voice and just forced a smile and picked up the teacup: "Cousin, congratulations on finding a girlfriend."
