" It's actually a good advance for you. But I have to make sure if he's worth it to you or not. If he is inappropriate then leave him and look for another partner" Xiao Yu continued as he gently rubbed Xiao An's head. At that moment Xiao An also looked down obediently.
Before long, a servant came to see them.
" Greetings, young master and young lady. The event will start soon, the patriarch is waiting for the two of you in the hall. The big guests are also already in the hall" said the waiter, looking down.
" Okay, we'll be there soon. Come on brother!", Xiao An said. Then they went to the hall together.
From the door of the hall was heard some people were chatting and laughing happily. As the two of them walked over, the guests noticed them so intensely. Not a few people saw the two of them with bright smiles.
But still there were some people who looked on cynically as if the two of them had made a big mistake. Yes, some of the family heads from the branch family seemed to dislike them. I don't know what the problem is that they hate Xiao An and Xiao Yu.
" It turns out my grandson has arrived. Come sit next to Grandpa! Today was a happy day for the Luo family. We Luo family are very grateful to you who are ready to come to my birthday event. We always look at friendship, so don't hesitate! Enjoy this banquet" said grandfather Luo.
Some of the guests felt unfamiliar with the arrival of a man who was with Xiao An, Xiao Yu. Until they whispered whisper trying to find out the identity of the man. Since Grandfather Luo realized that he had not introduced Xiao Yu, he introduced him.
" Ah, it seems that you are asking the truth who came with Xiao An. I'll introduce you all. She was my granddaughter from the late Lin Mei Li, Xiao An's mother. That meant that he was the elder brother of Xiao An. She had been cared for by her aunt, Lin Mei Yin, for her protection.
Maybe you don't know about our family problems. My son-in-law from the Jiang family had fully planned the crime until he managed to kill my second child with my son-in-law. Maybe until now they were planning revenge. Sorry to let you guys hear such a shameful thing" Grandpa Luo said.
The guests were shocked by the statement from Grandfather Luo. Some people are still asking whether this problem will continue or not.
" It's okay, patriarch Luo. If you need reinforcements, come to our family. We will always help you" said elder Bai. Some of the guests agreed with Elder Bai's words. The atmosphere was calm and peaceful again.
The invited guests also always enjoy every dish and dance performances from dancers who have been hired. While enjoying the banquet, the guests give their gifts each of which they have prepared.
" Greetings, patriarch Luo. Happy birthday, good luck. This is a gift from us the Qin family has always been friends since long ago" said elder Qin. They gave 300-year-old ginseng as a gift. Ginseng was beneficial for improving cultivation and was very often used as an ingredient to make tier 3 pills. Quite expensive if sold especially if made a pill.
" Oh, thank you. This is a great gift to me" Luo's grandfather said
"we Bai family although this gift is not so expensive, please accept" elder Bai said. He gave a sun pill, a pill capable of suppressing and curing cold poison. What a treasure! They dared to give this extremely rare gift.
" You're too fond of Elder Bai! This is a gift too big for me. It's very expensive and rare, a lot of people want it. Is it alright to give this pill to our family?", Grandfather Luo said. He seemed very hesitant to accept it because the price was very expensive.
" Ah, it's okay. Patriarch Bai told me to give the pill to you, patriarch Luo. Oh yes, sorry patriarch Bai was unable to attend because he was still in seclusion" the elder said.
" It's okay, thanks for the gift you gave me. It was very valuable" said grandfather luo. Then Elder Bai returned to his seat.
This time the Wei family was not present, usually they were always present at events like this. Usually they will ignite a fire to the extended family family. Sometimes they are caught and sometimes they are not. Just like the Bai family who did not falter even though it had been despised as if the position of the number 1 family was just a joke.
After that, the other guests also gave their gifts to the patriarch while congratulating him.
" Oh yes, what gifts have you two prepared for the patriarch?", said a branch family head. He looked at the two of them as if he would be so disgusted to see them. Grandfather Luo started to feel angry at the behavior of the family head.
" Eh, right! Guess what gift you have prepared?, It must be a special gift. Patriarchally always spoil you guys, right?", said the wife of the head of the family.
" Yes, you're right. At least grandfather never taught me to interfere in other people's affairs" Xiao An said. Xiao Yu held back his laughter.
' you do deserve to be my sister', inner Xiao Yu. He still held back his laughter. The woman looked angry with a face that started to turn red.
' heh, you think I can't afford valuables? Kidding you?', inner Xiao An.
" Happy birthday, grandpa! May Grandpa live a long and healthy life. This is a gift from my brother to my grandfather and this is a gift from me. Hope grandfather likes this gift", said Xiao An while giving 2 large boxes of white and black.
" I can't wait to see a gift from you guys" Grandpa Luo said. He opened the white box.
" Whoa, this is a very perfect tea making equipment. Even the material is rare. You guys do know what grandfather wants" Grandpa Luo said. Not everyone knew that Grandpa Luo was very fond of tea. He was so interested in making his own tea that it was not uncommon for him to buy equipment to make tea.
" Heh, just the equipment for making tea. I thought it was a valuable item" said the head of the family. He's becoming more and more. Then Grandpa Luo opened the black box.
" huh? Whahuh? Th-this..... Where'd you get it? This is very valuable" Luo's grandfather said in surprise to see the contents of the box. Guests are beginning to assume. Until finally the thing was taken out of the box.
" This is the golden dragon furnace!!! This.... You gave it to grandfather is it okay?, Of all the gifts, this gift is the most valuable" said grandfather Luo. He was still shocked by the reward he received, as well as the guests who saw the furnace so clearly before his eyes.
" Eh, it turns out that the golden dragon furnace was obtained by the young miss of the Luo family. You guys are very lucky, he even bid a very expensive price to pay for that wait" said elder Bai.
" really? What price did he bargain for?", said one of the guests.
" He bid up to 10 jt, you guys are so royal towards your missus" said elder Bai with a smile. The head of the family and the elders from the Luo Core family as well as the branches looked at Xiao An with a very puzzling gaze.
" ah, you misunderstood. At a very young age he already had a pretty big and famous business. Have you guys ever been to Haozi's diner?, it's his. He had also set up a weapon shop but he closed it back down because he was unwilling to cause a fight" Luo's grandfather said. The guests were quite surprised to hear that as well as the elders and the head of the Luo family. The event went so smoothly, no incident caused anger from some parties. The guests have been gone since.
Xiao An was currently in his room. He was preparing to go to sleep, but a servant knocked on his door.
Tok tok...
" Miss, the patriarch told you to go to his study", the servant said politely. Xiao An opened the door and found the servant who was still standing not far from the door.
" Alright, I'll go" Xiao An said. He also went to Grandpa Luo's study room.
' what's up? Why did grandfather tell me to meet him?', inner Xiao An. He kept asking inwardly guessing what grandfather Luo wanted to say. Arriving at the study room, Xiao An knocked on the door first, then he entered.
" What exactly did grandfather tell me to come here?", Xiao An said curiously. Grandfather Luo let out a long sigh.
" just before elder Bai left, he gave this letter to grandfather. At first I thought it was just a birthday letter. But it turns out it was a cover letter for you. They intend to match you up with Xu Kai. Grandpa won't interfere with that. Let it be your own choice", explained grandfather Luo.
' how is this? I don't know what to answer', Inner Xiao An.
" Grandfather knows you must be confused by the decision you're about to make. But before that, grandfather wants to tell you a story" said grandfather luo. Xiao An immediately put his head over Grandpa Luo's thigh and heard him tell a story.
"Actually once before grandfather was born, your great-grandmother was once proposed by a dragon emperor like you. But he refused because he was married to a great-grandfather. Although great-grandfathers were not very strong, they were a very compatible couple. Since this dragon emperor was unwilling to budge, he continued to approach the great-grandmother and convince her to marry him and leave the great-grandfather behind. But the great-grandmother loved the great-grandfather very much, so the great-grandmother continued to reject him. And finally the dragon emperor gave up. But he made a deal with his great-grandmother. If she gives birth to a daughter, she will be betrothed to her offspring. And if he's a boy, then he'll be given the gifts he needs. At that time grandfather got the gift of the dragon sword from the dragon emperor when the grandfather was 5 THN. His very young face looked like he was 20 YRS old, but he was actually a lot older. And the deal is valid until the 3rd generation, which means you will be paired with the 3rd generation of the dragon emperor" Luo's grandfather explained.
" huh? Why is it me?", Xiao An said.
" Of course because you are the only female in this Luo family. But the problem was that grandfather had never seen and heard the great-granddaughter of this dragon emperor. It was very difficult to find him and launch this deal. But again it's up to you! That is your life. Only you have the right to set it up" Grandfather Luo said.
