Chapter 2155 My Heart Is All on Her (7)
Duan Qirui was still wearing the familiar white, and frowned as soon as he entered the door. If it were someone else, they would probably think he was a bit impolite, frowning at someone else's birthday party, but the Ruan family knew that he simply disliked the large number of people and the air pollution caused by the large number of people.
Seeing Duan Qianyang, the Ruan family hurried over to greet him. Ruan Jiaojiao also came over holding hands with Duan Xu and called sweetly: "Uncle Duan."
"Oh, our Jiaojiao is really getting more and more beautiful. Uncle was delayed by something upstairs today, so he came late. Can uncle give you a bigger birthday present later?" Duan Qianyang said to Ruan Jiaojiao with a smile.
Ruan Jiaojiao nodded with a smile: "It's not too late, but the big gift is still required."
Shu Jie beside her heard this and looked at her helplessly: "This child..."
Duan Qianyang quickly joined in: "I like this about our Jiaojiao. She doesn't treat her uncle as an outsider, hahaha."
Duan Qianyang's words were not false, but true. The Duan family had few descendants and even less family affection. It was fine that they had never had one before, but after spending so much time with Ruan Jiaojiao over the years, looking at her caring daughter and then looking at her cold son, how could he not be greedy.
Fortunately, this daughter couldn't do it, and he would be very happy to have her as his daughter-in-law in the future.
The group talked and laughed, and Duan Qianyang went to meet with Mr. Shu again. Basically, the important guests were present, and the meal officially started at 11:30 noon.
The Ruan family were all real people, and this lunch was prepared according to the highest standards of a banquet, with a total of 18 dishes, so that everyone could eat and drink well.
This was also the only time that the Ruan family only held a banquet without accepting gifts, which was agreed by Shu Jie and Ruan Lin.
For an eighteen-year-old, it can be a lively one, but asking for gifts would be vulgar. The Ruan family was reluctant to let Ruan Jiaojiao be tainted with these mercenaries, especially at such a beautiful age of eighteen.
However, although gifts were not accepted, Ruan Jiaojiao received a lot of gifts. Whether it was classmates, guests who had business dealings with the Ruan family, or guests who came for the sake of the Shu and Duan families, all brought birthday gifts to Ruan Jiaojiao, and there were so many that they filled up the entire box.
Except for a few words on the stage before dinner at the instruction of Ruan Jianguo, Ruan Jiaojiao did not need to socialize at other times. She only needed to greet her friends and classmates.
After dinner, Ruan Hao called Ruan Jiaojiao aside and asked her to take her classmates and friends to the karaoke bar on the same street. The entire karaoke bar had been booked, and she only needed to take the people there.
Ruan Jiaojiao was worried about how to arrange the classmates after dinner. She nodded happily when she heard the words. There were more than 30 classmates in total, which was a large group. Ruan Jiaojiao and Duan Xu discussed that they didn't need to take care of the hotel anyway, so they took people to the karaoke bar first.
Before going to the karaoke bar, Ruan Jiaojiao went upstairs to find a few brothers. She wanted Ruan Lei and others of the same age to go to the karaoke bar to help her entertain her classmates.
For Ruan Jiaojiao, the brothers naturally would not refuse, and agreed without saying a word.
When going downstairs, Ruan Chi, Ruan Jie, and Lu Yu, the older ones, had nothing to do, so they planned to go there to play together. When they just walked to the stairs in the hall, Duan Qianyang, who was in the box on the side of the stairs, just came out to find Duan Xu, and they just happened to meet them.
