Xia LingYun(11)

Walking into the closet and checking his different suits , Xia LingYun was in a dilemma that everyone with too much clothes and handsome face will face .

He was confused about what to wear in today's banquet.He couldn't wear anything too mature, he won't wear a too youthful suit. He definitely can't wear a casual outfit on such solemn occasion.

' System ! You are my guide. My guiding light ! help me please ' .

Teasing the system , he said jokingly.

Getting no answer from system for a while , he picked up a Dark olive suit.

A cream white shirt , silk olive thin tie , a Lighter shade of olive vest , and a finely made dark olive green coat with pants.

The Black leather belt , black leather shoes , Black and white gold metal watch , he was satisfied with his outfit from head to toe.

His phone vibrated. Getting message from Gu YueXing and Lu YanJin , they would reach the villa in half an hour. Both are from provincial capital .The influence of Gu and Lu family is quite wide.

During this time , he did things step by step . Business, making connections , study .Everything possible.

Although it was his selfishness too , but he made quite a few friends that he felt good about.

Lu YanJin may look cold on the surface but has childish temper as he should.

Gu YueXing is ...umm...a black belly as they say. He looks polite on the surface but his heart is small as needle.

Ji brothers are one silly and one sweet . Although they have tendency to be black sometimes , but its fine with him.

But one thing he was most satiffied with was , everyone has one thing in common . They protect thier own. You can't point a finger on what or who they decide under thier own wings.

Dressing up , he walked downstairs .

Picking up the calligraphy he decided to gift the old man , he sipped coffee caually.

Suddenly a system prompt popped up.

[ Ding!Mission: As a qualified wealthy man , host must show off his wealth appropriately . Please choose a qualified gift for the banquet.

Reward : Advanced card ×1]

He thought about it carefully . This meant that the gift he prepared wasn't satifying enough.

Just when he thought about it , his eyes lit up .

Clicking at the warehouse . He retrieved a finely carved wooden box with brass inlays. Opening the lid , he found a beautifully handmade chessboard with glossy texture.

Both black and white pieces are crystalline jade are eacy placed in seperate boxes carefully.

His chess skill upgrade reward.This box was what he recieved at that time.Thinking of this as a decorative item for him which cost him nothing , he decided to use this as a gift.

Ding ! Dong!

The doorbell rang , opening the door ,he invited his guests inside.

" Hey ! you bastard , you never said before you live here," Lu YanJin locked his throat jokingly in his bicep and forearm inwardly.

" Hmm...Our LingYun is a hidden rich man , Don't you know ", Gu YueXing also echoed along.

Joking along , he finally found 2 more people in the hall .

Noticing his gaze, Gu YueXing introduced newcomers to him .

" This is my cousin Lu XingZe and this is my cousin brother Gu YiFei",He introduced solemnly. Both boys said hello politely to him too.

" Cousin XingZe is from my mother's side and also YanJin's cousin brother too" , YueXing said again.

He wasn't surprised though. He found earlier that Gu and Lu families in provincial capital are in a marriage alliance and the relationship between both families is padticularly good.

Although Ji family is in JinCheng , thier headquarters are still in provincial capital so it wouldn't be surprising for the families in provincial capital to be here.

Gu YueXing and Lu YanJin's parents would come here later since it would take them some time.

" Come in , Sit . I'll get something to drink ", He said and walked towards kitchen.

"A'Xing , did you see this bastard who treated use like guests and threw us away....look he never even brought us home before . We wouldn't even know if he lives here if it wasn't for this banquet ", YanJin said and made a hurt look.

Damn! what's this picture of a big cold faced man making such a look. He couldn't bear to look straight .

When he turned sideways , he discovered ...umm...niether could others.

"Alright !alright !now you know " , he said as he threw an energy bar to each and brought a glass of juice to everyone.

" Hey ,you said ! we are five people and we brought only one car ", The implication of YanJin couldn't be anymore obvious.

silently rolling his eyes, he said ," In garage " .

He inaverdently said on phone that they could take his car if they want . It would be much more convinient.

Looking at the clock ticking 7:00 everyone got up and decided to leave early .

........

"YanJin ! Shall we put a sack on him," YueXing said .

" Hmm", Yanjin also casually agreed.

Looking at the bastards who were standing in garage openly discussing how to put a sack on him , He was speechless.

When few minutes ago everyone came down to underground garage to get a car , it lead to the current situation where he was openly discussed to be beaten.

" ThunderBird GT-800, Top class performance , latest sports car with best equipment , luxurious interior and of course the best speed system " , YanJin gave him an eye knife and described the car in almost advertising way ," You said you have a car , Liar " .

He wanted to prove his innocence in this regard. For him , it really was just a car .

He wasn't a true rich second generation and has no knowledge of luxury brands and top class cars and bikes.

' Poverty limits my imagination'.

He resignedly gave his car keys to YanJin , promised YueXing the passenger seat in return trip and jumped into the car .

' Ah ! the sin of no knowledge. '

He doesn't know how drive so he could only take the passenger seat.

Although YanJin was looking cold on the outside , he couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes.

The other three took the Black Sedan left in the garage and everyone happily drove away.

........

Parking the two cars ,Lu YanJin , Gu YueXing , Lu Xingze ,Gu YiFei and Xia LingYun all walked out together with invitation in thier hands.

The appearance of all five boys are of high quality .With a temperament of noble sons and dressed in suits already put them in spotlight. Everyone was enthusiastically discussing the newcomers when they handed thier invitation and entered the banquet hall.

Just when they entered the hall, everyone quited down.

An old man in his 70's walked down the stairs with his one hand held down by a middle aged man and another with the younger boy .

It was of course Ji YanXin's father and Ji YanXin on both sides of the old man.

The old man was Grandpa Ji.

After the speech , everyone of older generation enthusiastically walked towards and talked to the old man.

Then it became turn of younger genration to wish the old man.

" Wei family has a good heir ", the old man commented and smiled kindly .

" It's a ginseng ! 400 years old ginseng ", someone exclaimed when the gift was opened.

After came many youngsters. Someone gave ancient paintings , someone gave antiques and many kinds of things piled up.

" Old man ! May you live a long life " , Gu Yanxing gave his gift and said .

Lu Yanjin also handed his gift box at the same time.

When it came to Xia lingYun's turn , he also echoed a few words of congratulations to the old man and handed the wooden box.

When looking at the delicate wooden box ,old man looked in surprise at Xia LingYun and opened it in front of guests.

Looking at the delicately made Chessboard and chesspieces made of Jade ,Grandpa Ji almost overturned it.

It would be lie to say he wasn't moved . He had seen a lot of good things and this chess was definitely of the best .

But he was more curious about who this boy was who was invited by his grandsons.

He smiled a little more sincerely but didn't show anythong on surface.

Everything went on in an orderly manner.
