Chapter 154 General Wang is Here
Nan Qiao tilted her head slightly, with a puzzled look in her eyes, and asked, "Where's Grandpa Fang?"
Fang Xuyao put his hands in his trouser pockets and replied leisurely, "Grandpa is feeling a little unwell and is resting at home."
Nan Qiao nodded gently to show her understanding. Suddenly, as if remembering something, she frowned and stared at Fang Xuyao and said, "I don't think I invited you. How did you know today is my birthday?"
Zhao Gang, who was standing by, walked up with a smile, patted Fang Xuyao on the shoulder, and said, "I invited him."
Nan Qiao looked puzzled. When did Uncle Zhao Gang become so familiar with Fang Xuyao?
She was full of doubts and was about to ask in detail when the sound of a car braking was heard. Everyone turned their heads and saw another old-fashioned Red Flag car parked on the side of the road. The retro car model exuded a unique charm in the sun.
Then, Jiang Linkai carefully helped Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang out of the car.
Although Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang are old, they are in good spirits, and their every move shows elegance and dignity.
As soon as Lan Jia and Pang Min saw the Jiang family get off the car, surprise flashed in their eyes and they hurriedly greeted them with smiles on their faces.
Pang Min took a few quick steps, an excited smile on her face, and said in a sweet voice, "Mr. Jiang, Grandma Jiang, I'm so honored that you can come to my birthday party!"
The Lan family wasn't far behind. Lan Zhiming, with a flattering smile on his face, quickly chimed in, "Mr. Jiang, it's truly an honor for us to have you here. We've been looking forward to having a chance to speak with you, and today is finally the day."
Lan Yuchen also bowed slightly and said politely, "Grandpa Jiang, Grandma Jiang, welcome. I hope you have a good time today."
Jiang Peishan smiled so hard that her mouth couldn't close. "Oh, Mr. Jiang, you two look radiant, you don't look like old people at all."
Her voice was loud. The Jiang family's arrival was a great honor for them, and it was as if she was showing off her connections and status to Nan Qiao and others.
Grandpa Jiang and Jiang Linkai frowned, a hint of displeasure flashed in their eyes, but their good upbringing was like a solid dam, temporarily preventing them from losing their temper.
Grandma Jiang was always straightforward. Seeing Pang Min and the others being so flattering and self-willed, her face darkened and she said bluntly, "You're blocking our way. Please make way!"
Although her voice was not loud, her serious tone carried unquestionable majesty, like a majestic queen warning an offender.
When the Lan family and Pang Min heard what Grandma Jiang said, they were stunned. The smiles on their faces seemed to be frozen in time, and they froze there in embarrassment. They had never expected Grandma Jiang to be so disrespectful, and for a moment they were at a loss.
Grandma Jiang didn't care about their reactions. She frowned, pushed through the crowd, and walked straight towards Nan Qiao with Grandpa Jiang and Jiang Linkai.
The Lan family and Pang Min looked at their backs, their faces turned pale, and a bad premonition arose in their hearts.
The three members of the Jiang family came to Nan Qiao. Grandpa Jiang smiled lovingly and said in a loud voice, "Happy birthday, Xiao Qiao!"
As he spoke, he handed over a beautifully wrapped gift.
Nan Qiao quickly took it, his eyes sparkling with emotion, and bowed deeply: "Thank you, Grandpa Jiang!"
Jiang Linkai also walked forward, holding an exquisite box in his hand, and handed it to Nan Qiao: "Nan Qiao, happy birthday, this is a gift I prepared for you."
Nan Qiao took it with a smile, her eyes full of surprise: "Thank you, classmate Jiang."
Seeing this, Zhao Gang hurried forward and enthusiastically led the three Jiang family members to the banquet hall: "Mr. Jiang, please come this way. Everything is ready inside. You can go and rest for a while."
After Grandpa Jiang and the others left, Nan Qiao turned to look at Wang Xiaoxuan and said gently, "You should go in and rest for a while. There's food inside and it's lively."
Wang Xiaoxuan shook her head and pulled Nan Qiao's arm: "No, I'll stay here with you."
Nan Qiao smiled and nodded, then shifted her gaze to Fang Xuyao.
Fang Xuyao seemed to know what Nan Qiao was going to ask, and immediately shook his head like a rattle: "The banquet hall is so boring and stuffy, I don't want to go in, I'll just get some fresh air outside."
"Okay, whatever you want."
Then, a car slowly pulled up, and Professor Gu and his grandson, Gu Yi, approached. Professor Gu was energetic and walked steadily, while Gu Yi followed beside him, exuding youthful vigor. Soon after, Dr. Jiang arrived, his demeanor refined and his eyes intelligent. By this time, nearly everyone who was supposed to be there had arrived, and they all began to make their way to the banquet hall.
Pang Min looked at the people from Nan Qiao's side entering the banquet hall, and her lips were tightly pursed with anger. What's the big deal? Isn't it just an old man Jiang who comes to attend your birthday party?
All the people who came to her birthday party were important figures in Kyoto!
Just then, Pang Shi came hurriedly.
He was delayed because of something and was not aware of the situation in the banquet hall next door, and naturally did not know who was inside.
When he saw the banquet hall next door also decorated with balloons and other decorations, he frowned and said with displeasure, "What's going on? Why is someone holding a birthday party next to Minmin's banquet hall? Isn't this causing trouble?"
Pang Min quickly grabbed her father's arm and said coquettishly, "It's okay, Dad. It's a birthday party for everyone. I'm not so petty as to allow only myself to host it and not allow others to."
When Pang Shi heard this, the gloom on his face instantly dissipated. He reached out and pinched his daughter's nose, smiling dotingly: "My daughter has grown up and become sensible."
When the Lan family saw Pang Shi coming, they surrounded him enthusiastically and greeted him with great respect.
Lan Yuchen stood beside Pang Min, looking a little nervous. After all, Pang Shi's status and position were there, and as Pang Min's boyfriend, he knew the importance of this meeting.
Pang Shi's gaze lingered on Lan Yuchen for several seconds, with a scrutinizing look in his eyes.
Lan Yuchen gritted his teeth and politely bowed slightly to Pang Shi.
After a few simple greetings, Pang Shi looked around and asked, "Have most of the guests arrived?"
Pang Min nodded obediently and replied, "Yes, Dad, the important guests have arrived."
After saying that, she affectionately took Pang Shi's arm.
Pang Shi nodded, and with a satisfied smile, he walked towards the banquet hall with the Lan family.
Not long after they entered the banquet hall, the hotel manager rushed in, his voice trembling with excitement: "Everyone, General Wang, the founding father, is here!"
These words exploded in the banquet hall like a bombshell. The Lan family was filled with shock. Lan Zhiming's eyes widened in disbelief as he said, "What? General Wang? Minmin actually invited him to her birthday party?"
