Ye Wudao looked at the brand-new Porsche Palamera before him and smiled, "Your car?"
"Yeah, if Mr. Ye likes it, I could give it to you," Su Yueli smiled.
"Heh, no need. I like riding in a beauty's car," Ye Wudao's lips curled slightly.
"Mr. Ye, Grandpa is especially grateful to you. He asked me to make sure to find you; he wants to thank you in person!" Su Yueli said.
"Mr. Su is too polite. It's his 70th birthday today; I can't possibly show up empty-handed, can I? I'll buy him some tobacco, alcohol, and tea!" Ye Wudao said, glancing at the convenience store at the door, "Wait for me!"
"Okay," Su Yueli beamed with a sweet smile.
Moments later, Ye Wudao, holding a plastic bag, smiled, "Got it!"
"Mr. Ye is thoughtful. Let's set off then!"
…
The Su Family.
Today, they hosted a grand banquet, brimming with guests!
The news of Elder Su's awakening had stirred up a significant storm throughout the city!
And today coincided with Elder Su's 70th birthday, a double celebration indeed!
Not only had all the second-tier families from Jiangnan City come, even the proud top families of Chen and Zhou had arrived, causing quite a stir at the event.
"The Chen family wishes Elder Su happiness as vast as the Eastern Sea and presents a pair of million-yuan worth Kirin Jade Pendants!"
"The Zhou family respectfully wishes Elder Su a longevity surpassing the Southern Mountains, presenting a pair of million-yuan worth Jade Ruyi!"
The emcee respectfully inquired of Elder Su, "Elder Su, all the guests have arrived. Shall we start the banquet?"
Today's birthday star, Elder Su, dressed in a red traditional Chinese attire, looked radiant and in high spirits. Yet, he frowned, "Wait, is there any news from Yueli?"
"Dad, today is the auspicious day of your 70th birthday, why wait for that girl?" Su Yuan's wife said with a sneer.
"That's right, Grandpa. Are you going to make the thousands of guests wait just for my cousin?" Su Yuan added.
"No, I must wait for Yueli to return!" Elder Su was very adamant.
Just then, a voice suddenly came from outside the door, "The Xu family has arrived!"
Boom!
The whole place erupted!
"My goodness, the Xu family people have come?"
"As the foremost among the four major families of Jiangnan City, the Xu family has never been heard to attend someone else's birthday banquet!"
"Elder Su really has some serious clout!" the guests whispered among themselves.
There were dozens of people from the Xu family, led by a young man in a suit and leather shoes, with an elegant appearance and a gentlemanly demeanor.
"It's the young master of the Xu family, Xu Wenbin!"
"He's the future successor of the Xu family!"
The Sus were particularly excited; it was an honor enough that the Xu family sent representatives, let alone someone as important as Xu Wenbin!
Xu Wenbin smiled, "Elder Su, my father heard you enjoy tea and specifically asked me to present you with a pound of Xu family's treasured West Lake Dragon Well tea, aged for over a decade, for your pleasure!"
After speaking, the people from the Xu family presented the gift.
The entire room was in awe!
"The West Lake Dragon Well tea from the Xu family is known as one of the four great treasures of Jiangnan!"
"In the whole of Jiangnan City, those who have tasted the Xu family's tea can be counted on one hand!"
"Only someone as respected and esteemed as Elder Su is worthy of such a privilege."
Su Lao Ye stood up to welcome the guest and said, "Young Master Xu is too kind, give my regards to your father, please have a seat!"
"Hold on a moment!" Xu Wenbin said with a slight smile, "Old Master Su, in addition to congratulating you on your seventieth birthday today, I also have a personal matter."
"Oh?" Old Master Su looked puzzled.
"Today, Xu Mou has come to propose to the eldest Miss of the Su family—Su Yueli!"
Boom!
The whole room was shocked!
"What, you want to propose to Yueli?" The Second Lady of the Su family exclaimed in shock.
"Indeed!" Xu Wenbin smiled.
"My Yueli's dowry will cost quite a bit of money, not something Young Master Xu can afford with just a pound of tea!" Grandma Su scoffed.
"Please don't worry about that, Grandma Su!" Xu Wenbin waved his hand, and soon, a group of attendants approached.
"The Xu family's betrothal gifts—a Maserati!"
"The Xu family's betrothal gifts—a South Lake Villa!"
"The Xu family's betrothal gifts—two Rolex watches!"
"The Xu family's betrothal gifts—a phoenix crown and cape!"
"The Xu family's betrothal gifts—five pairs of Pure Gold Dragon and Phoenix Bracelets!"
"The Xu family's betrothal gifts—ten pairs of colored glaze jade rings!"
"The Xu family's betrothal gifts—fifty gold bars!"
"The Xu family's betrothal gifts—a complete dowry of 18,888,000 yuan!"
As the long list of betrothal gifts was read out, Su family's banquet hall fell silent, then erupted with a thunderous commotion!
"My goodness, the Xu family's betrothal gifts are almost as much as the assets of an ordinary second-tier family, right?"
"It's horrifying, the value of these betrothal gifts exceeds fifty million!"
"Although the Xu family is the number one family in the Jiangnan area, to offer such a costly dowry...they're really going all out!" the guests discussed in shock, envy gleaming in their eyes.
Grandma Su and the others couldn't stop smiling upon hearing the Xu family's betrothal gifts.
"Mom, the Xu family's betrothal gifts are too generous; I don't even know how to spend it all!" The Second Lady of the Su family said excitedly.
"With the money from Big Cousin's dowry, I'll be able to buy a Ferrari next month!" Su Yuan said eagerly.
Grandma Su was even more excited, "I never expected this girl Yueli to fetch such a great price, good, good, good!"
Xu Wenbin, seeing the Su family's shock at the dowry he provided, showed a confident expression, while Old Master Su smiled and said, "The Xu family has shown great sincerity, but when it comes to matters of the heart, we still need to ask for Yueli's opinion!"
"You old fool, why bother asking that girl Su Yueli what she thinks, after all, she's not our Su family's own flesh and blood!" Grandma Su said coldly.
"Silence!" Old Master Su scolded angrily.
Just then, Su Yueli arrived, smiling as she said, "Grandpa, I've brought Mr. Ye here!"
Old Master Su immediately went to greet him, his face full of joy; "Mr. Ye, you've come!"
"Grandpa, Mr. Ye even bought you a gift." Su Yueli said with a smile.
"He shouldn't have bothered with any gifts!" Old Master Su said, feigning displeasure.
Ye Wudao, carrying a plastic bag, laughed and said; "Old Su, it's your seventieth birthday today, and I couldn't come empty-handed. I went to the supermarket especially for you and bought Daqianmen cigarettes, Niulanshan Erguotou, and a special offer on Ice Red Tea. With cigarettes, alcohol, and tea, you'll be well stocked up!"
Boom!
The room fell dead silent!
