Rebirth Chapter 25: Birthday Banquet (3)
Lan Ruoxi handed the dried painting to He Xiao Yuan, "Master He, Ruoxi borrows this longevity picture to once again wish Master He a bright and prosperous future, with good fortune and longevity."
"What a wonderful painting! The best gift Grandpa has received today. Grandpa really loves it! Thank you, Yu'er!" He deliberately avoided saying "He", this clever and mischievous grandson-in-law was already decided on. He gave a wink to He Yan Ye beside him, urging him to make an effort.
Grandpa, don't worry! I definitely won't let anyone take her away. Hei Yan Ye also gave a glance back.
"As long as Grandpa He likes it." Lan Ruo Xue replied calmly, without showing any pride due to his praise.
He Xiao nodded in satisfaction, "Wang Guanjia, show everyone the painting and then find someone to mount it."
"Yes! Sir." Wang the housekeeper respectfully accepted the painting and held it in his hands for the guests to admire.
Only two cranes are seen among the green pines, vividly depicted on paper, with ink and color blending in a beautiful and elegant manner. The combination of form and spirit, ink and color, is even more classic and refreshing, bold and free-flowing.
"Good! It actually has more atmosphere than my own paintings." A middle-aged man wearing a light blue long shirt and black-framed glasses carefully examined the painting, his eyes full of admiration.
"It's Xue Bai! His paintings are priceless! I didn't expect him to attend He Lao's birthday banquet as well." A guest was moved by the sight of Xue Bai.
"Yes! Even he has given such deep affirmation to Miss Lan's painting. Miss Lan is really extraordinary!"
Now everyone's eyes on Lan Ruoxue are filled with respect and admiration.
Lan Ruoxi arrived at Lan and Tian's side, only to see their eyes filled with shock and emotion. "Father! Mother!"
"My dear daughter, whether you are good or bad, you are our most beloved daughter." With loving strokes on her hair, his eyes were filled with doting affection.
"Master Wang, let's start the banquet!" He Xiao Yuan ordered with a smile. "Ladies and gentlemen, please take your seats. We apologize for any inconvenience."
"Come on, little sister, confess the truth quickly. How many secrets are you still hiding from me?" He Tiantian excitedly hugged her and said with a threatening face.
"Tian Tian Jie really is gone." Lan Ruo Xue helplessly rolled her eyes.
"Uncle, auntie, sorry! I'm taking my sister away." He Xiantian pulled Blue Ruo's hand and playfully winked at the Blue couple.
"Go! Hehe......" Envy watching them chatting and laughing, youth is really good!
He Tian Tian pulled Lan Ruo Xue's hand to He Yan Ye's front, teasing: "Brother! I helped you bring your future sister-in-law here."
He Yan gazed deeply at Lan Ruo Xi, pulled over her pale hand and grasped it carefully as if it were a rare treasure. "Ruo Xi darling! Let's sit down."
"Good!" Lan Ruo Xue didn't pull her hand away, after these days of interaction, his gentle affection and meticulous care had already captured her heart, and she acknowledged this man.
He Yanye didn't refuse him, and her heart was fluttering with excitement. He carefully wiped the bowls and chopsticks for her and served her dishes. "Xiaobao, darling, come eat this."
"Sister-in-law, you're so happy!" He Tian Tian bit her chopsticks and blinked her big eyes, full of envy.
Lan Han Yun's hands were tightly clasped together, afraid that he would lose control and pull her into his own arms.
Liu Qingfeng raised his wine cup and drank heavily, with anger flashing in his eyes. He couldn't believe that she had hidden her true nature from him just to cancel their engagement, making him think she was just a timid lady who rarely left the house.
Zhao Yimo held the wine glass, taking a light sip. He smiled faintly as he observed everyone's expression, his wise eyes gazing at Lan Ruo Xue who was calm and composed. A hint of sly charm flashed in his deep eyes...
