Chapter 149 Going to the Birthday Banquet
Gu Yunting: "You guys go move it too, be careful not to bump into anything and break it."
Li Wenxuan and Zhao Dongchu: “Yes.”
Long Zhan leaned back on the sofa and watched them move away the wine that had not been stored for long.
His heart was bleeding, and the look he gave Murong Xue became even more resentful.
Today is May 15th, Mrs. Hua’s birthday.
Since yesterday, Long Chenxi, Fu Wushuang and Huo Siyao took turns calling Murong Xue to ask her to go.
Long Zhan was a little dissatisfied when he saw Murong Xue didn't wear the dress he bought: "Why don't you wear the clothes I bought for you?"
Murong Xue looked at this childish man. She found it hard to believe that he was forty years old.
I casually threw a shirt to him and said, "Try this on."
Long Zhan subconsciously took the white shirt she threw to him. As soon as he put on the clothes, a chilly feeling entered his body.
He picked up the shirt in shock and turned it over. The material seemed to be satin, with a few bamboo leaves sparsely embroidered on it with the same color thread.
"this?"
"Put it on. It's like a walking air conditioner. The clothes you bought are nice, but they're not suitable for me. They're too hot."
"Ok."
Seeing him about to take off his shirt and change in front of her, Murong Xue said, "Go inside and change."
"What are you afraid of? Is there any part of my body that you haven't seen or touched?" Long Zhan said disapprovingly.
"You old rascal."
Long Zhan narrowed his eyes. How dare this girl say anything? An old hooligan? He put his arm around her waist and lifted her chin with his other hand: "Oh, how about I let you experience what a real hooligan is? Hmm?"
Murong Xue reached out and opened the hand that was lifting her chin: "Asshole, hurry up, Fu Wushuang called again."
Long Zhan saw the name displayed on her phone, let go of her, and continued to change his clothes.
"No hurry, Jinxiuyuan where my aunt lives is not far from here, we can drive there in about an hour."
Murong Xue thought, isn't this far? Doesn't the Hua family live on Chang'an Street? "She doesn't live with the Hua family?"
“Everyone of my eldest aunt’s generation lives in Jinxiu Garden, where is the Hua family’s old house and the Hua family’s medicine garden.
The house on Chang'an Street is just one of the Hua family's properties, and it is basically prepared for the convenience of the younger generation to go to school."
Murong Xue had no information about Jinxiu Garden in the original owner's memory, so she asked, "Isn't Jinxiu Garden a residential area?"
Long Zhan looked at Murong Xue in confusion. This girl didn't even know about Jinxiu Garden? This...?
"Jinxiu Garden is the name of the Hua family's ancestral home. It covers an area of about 56 square meters and is the largest ancient house in China. It was originally called Huafu. After the liberation of China, they changed the name to Jinxiu Garden..."
Murong Xue was shocked when she heard this, thinking, this is an old family? No wonder the great grandmother said that the Yu family owned an island in the early days.
Long Zhan added: "There are also ancestral homes of the Lu family, the Huo family, and the Fu family near Jinxiu Garden. These four families are all old-established families in the imperial capital.
In the early years, there was a disagreement in the Lu family, and the two half brothers were separated from each other..."
Murong Xue listened to him talking about the Lu family: "So men should not be unfaithful. The system of monogamy is still good."
Long Zhan reached out and tapped her forehead: "Monogamy? That's good? But in those big families, which man can guard his own little piece of land?
And those men who have some money and status, which one doesn't have a few illegitimate children."
"What? Are you jealous?" Murong Xue glanced at him. Don't think she didn't know that this man was trying to seduce her in various ways.
"What nonsense! I can't even coax you."
"Why are you involving me again?" Murong Xue asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Can't I not bring you up? When are you and Jun Laosi going to have your wedding?" When Long Zhan saw her smile, he quickly changed the subject, otherwise he might get beaten.
When Murong Xue heard about marriage, she felt a little depressed. She really didn't want to think about this issue right now: "Why bring this up?"
Long Zhan saw that he had successfully changed the subject, but his tone was a little wrong: "What do you think?"
Murong Xue looked at her outfit in the mirror again. Hmm, it was not bad. "No hurry. I'm still young."
When Long Zhan heard her say that, he couldn't help but said, "I'm anxious."
Murong Xue turned around and picked up her bag: "Hold it."
"I can't hold it in," Long Zhan stood there feeling a little aggrieved.
"Then hold it in. Do you want to leave or not?" Murong Xue asked after putting on her shoes and standing at the entrance.
Seeing that she was a little angry, Long Zhan hurried over and said, "Let's go."
In the car
Murong Xue was still complaining: "I told you that I wanted to go with Zheng Shuang, but you wouldn't let me. Look, if I go with you, I don't know how much trouble will be waiting for me."
Long Zhan was puzzled. Why would being with him cause trouble? "What kind of trouble?"
"Why are you pretending? Of course it's your bad luck in love."
"I don't have bad luck in love."
Murong Xue tilted her head and smiled sarcastically: "Haha, you don't have any peach blossoms." She thought to herself: I would be foolish to believe you.
She didn't believe that the head of the Long family didn't have any bad love affairs. He was definitely a diamond bachelor.
Even though he has a history of divorce, it doesn't stop those women from... flocking to him.
"Don't blame me. I don't go to those messy places. I usually go between the company and home."
"Explanation is to cover."
Long Zhan: “…” What we talked about today, how come it keeps getting worse and worse.
Murong Xue was now thinking about how to prevent those women from causing trouble for her, and turned to glance at the handsome man.
This handsome, single, rich and powerful uncle is the target of many women.
Murong Xue rolled her eyes and said something shocking: "How about I call you dad, then not only will I not be bullied, but I might even receive lots of gifts."
Long Zhan was so frightened by her calling him "Dad" that he stepped on the accelerator and drove the car far away.
He steadied the car and gritted his teeth and said, "If you don't feel at a disadvantage, just shout."
"Not at all. Today's occasion is not at all at all."
Long Zhan looked at Murong Xue, who was smiling like a little fox, and wanted to drive back home immediately.
"Almost all of the Long family members are here today. You should be careful. Don't do anything reckless just because you think you can do nothing. You may end up in a bad situation."
“Yeah, that’s right, my dad is still alive, I can’t forget my ancestors.
Call me brother? No, you are too old and don't look like that.
Call him uncle? Well, that's fine. Seventh Uncle? It sounds like calling an old man or a gangster boss.
