Chapter 1609
Mrs. Xie came late, she was used to such appearances. The last one, dressed up to attend, all eyes were on her.
She is very old, but her bearing is extraordinary. Wearing a cheongsam-style skirt, her silver hair was tied up in a bun, and she wore a transparent emerald hairpin. She had a calm face, but in her cloudy eyes, she could still see the elegance of Mrs. Xie back then.
After she appeared, the noisy banquet hall became much quieter, and the band had already waited for the stage. Seeing the old lady enter the stage, they began to play a birthday song.
The old lady walked step by step, leaning on a cane carved with longevity peaches.
She glanced around, and then Xie Cheng and Yu Qin came out to support her, and called her mother with a smile.
The old lady nodded in satisfaction and was helped to the stage.
The sound of the band's performance gradually faded, and the old lady said, "Good afternoon, everyone, and thank you all distinguished guests for coming to the old man's birthday banquet."
Su Li stood not far away, listening to the old lady's speech. This is an old man who is still living in the old era. Even though she has entered the new era, her tone of voice and words are still as old as a hundred years ago.
After the old lady finished her speech with something similar to an old-age manuscript, applause broke out from the audience.
How should I put it, even though the Xie family is in decline, they are still sought after by countless people. This is the case in aristocratic families. A lean camel is bigger than a horse. Even if it falls down, it is still much stronger than ordinary wealthy people.
"Aren't you going up?" Xie Yi asked in Su Li's ear.
Su Li shook her head, "What are you going to do? I'm not like our father, I wish I could get a little more limelight now, so that the cooperation can go smoothly."
Xie Yi couldn't help but sneered, "You seem to despise him?"
"Otherwise, how would you have the confidence to pull him off the horse?" Su Li squeezed out of the crowd after saying this.
Although the old lady's birthday banquet seemed too ostentatious and cumbersome, it was actually quite relaxed, after all, she was so tired that she was just a servant.
The ladies and young masters of their family and the guests just ate, drank and watched the performances, but the performances they watched were all Peking opera tricks and the like, and many people could not appreciate them.
But for the sake of face, few people would raise objections. However, young people who came with their parents quickly gathered in the small banquet hall next to it.
As soon as Su Li entered, someone noticed him, and they gathered around one after another, talking to him with smiles.
"Young Master Xie is really a good-looking talent in this outfit, is this word correct?"
"That's right, Young Master Xie is just like that...yes, the little prince."
"Alan, you look so good today, do you remember me? We met last year."
"That's right, I also came for your grandmother's birthday last year, and I met you at that time."
"Oh, you are the lady who stepped on her skirt and accidentally fell in front of my grandmother." Su Li said with a smile, looking at the girl in a tube top dress.
"Hmm...I...that..." The smile on the girl's face froze, and she retreated silently amidst the laughter of the others.
Xie Yi also followed, she has now completely become Su Li's follower, and she just laughed when she heard this sentence. She hates this woman, and she found out that she had secretly said bad things about her before.
