(Due to majeure, I stopped updating for a week, and now I'm done. I'm going to get the updates back. I didn't say anything, please make up for it...ah!)

The banquet lasted for a long time. After all, the people in the Xu family were there. Not only the old local forces, but the Xu family was also a business elite at home and abroad. There was also a second-tier official in the capital. Although he was just a ministerial leader and in the capital, he could only be considered a second-tier official in the capital, but it was enough to make many people feel sore in their necks. With such a strong foundation, nine and a half of ten people wanted to put a label on their foreheads.

Because they all know that if they can really get to the big tree of the Xu family, it means that a golden avenue appears in front of them, both in politics and business.

Through various channels, I learned that Mr. Xu was about to celebrate his birthday. I had such a rare opportunity. Those relatives who were unable to meet were not counted. Those who had dated the Xu family several times and had met the Xu brothers all made excuses to post it. Even if they were looked down upon and mocked, it doesn’t matter. After all, this is a normal human relationship and the current social situation.

People are born for profit, and face and dignity are worthless. Power and money are intertwined together to make things happen. If there is power, there is everything, otherwise everything is fake.

After the main business was over, most of the time just to get close to the dispute. From around 10 am to around 9 pm, the guests who were still reluctant to leave the Kaiwei Hotel one after another.

Mr. Xu, the birthday boy, left the banquet early. First of all, it was because the old man was old and did not like this kind of messy and noisy scene. On the other hand, the old man could understand his son's filial piety, but he was very disgusted with his extravagant and wasteful approach.

But no matter what, Mr. Xu's birthday was very prosperous and lively.

When he returned home, Mr. Xu, who locked himself in the study, took out the seal given to him by his granddaughter, and carefully covered it on the upper right of the ink-splashing rain picture that he had just finished with alcohol. Looking at the red marks and the four "Old Man of Hundred Wars" in the small box, he was lined with vertical lines. Mr. Xu, who has been in politics for decades, has not yet removed his military temperament, and is more satisfied.

In the eyes of ordinary people, as long as it is a seal with seal characters, it seems that there is no difference except for red or white, negative or positive text, but those who know how to do things can see the sword technique, layout, and style from small seal characters.

Mr. Xu, who is thin and has half white hair, does not blink behind his presbyopia lenses. He held the small seal in his hand and looked at it under the desk lamp for a long time. He decided that tomorrow he must invite his old friend, Xia Tianzhong, the director of the Provincial Academy of Calligraphy and Painting, to let him see the seal, and ask what kind of school the knife layout above comes from.

In fact, he was curious not only about this, but even more about who took action and carved the seal for his granddaughter.

It was not until his wife kept calling him to rest outside the study that he reluctantly put down the seal carved with his zodiac seal.

...

The night is as cool as water, and the coldness is refreshing. The stars in the sky are like sprinkling countless bright gems. The cars are roaring like a tide. The streets with crowds are not quiet, but are noisy. The nightlife in the provincial capital has just begun. The city streets, tall buildings and summer, and all kinds of neon lights are flashing, dazzling and dazzling.

Located near the riverside, next to the century-old old street under the flood control memorial tower, it is also called Central Street. Motor vehicles are prohibited here, and the ground is paved with foot-long bluestone. The architectural styles on both sides of the street combine the essence of Eastern and Western architectural concepts. They can reflect a strong Russian style and a full European flavor here.

The tender jade neck is wrapped with a snow-white scarf, a black leather jacket with a stuck waist, and a black velvet pants wrapped in tight and straight slender legs, black leather boots, and a ponytail. The contrast between the strong black and white, the delicate facial features, white cheeks, and tall figure make the whole person look youthful and ostentatious. The extremely beautiful Xu Mengfei shuttled through the crowd, walking slowly on the street where the music kept ringing.

She basically comes here every year. And every time she returns to the provincial capital, Central Street is a must-visit place. She doesn't want to shop, but just likes it very simply, and likes to walk on this street.

Especially at night, at this time, I look at the bright and colorful neon lights on both sides of the street and admire the colorful lights and scenery.

Today, her eyes were filled with a certain longing and envy, and a little shy. She looked at the young couples walking past her, watching them leaning hands and leaning intimately together. The eyes that were intertwined inadvertently were so sweet and happy.

All of this made her feel embarrassed and unstoppable.

Suddenly, she seemed to see a picture and a scene.

In the picture, there is herself and the bastard who makes her heart beat. She is like the young couple walking by her, holding each other's fingers tightly, snuggling and walking slowly on this century-old street.

This scene surged into her mind and quickly filled her whole body. She was nervous involuntarily, her heart was bumped into a deer, and her white and tender cheeks were suddenly hot and red. Her little hands quickly stroked her pounding chest, her head was slightly lowered, and her embarrassing and shy eyes were dodging, as if she was afraid that others would see through the little secret in her heart.

For a moment, she was a little lost.

"Hey, you're so beautiful. Can you be lucky enough to meet me?"

"Hey, Miss?"

“Hi, hi…”

The hand shaking in front of him made Xu Mengfei suddenly come to his senses. His steps forward stopped instantly, and he subconsciously took a half step back. His body suddenly tensed, and his eyes were looking at the stranger who suddenly invaded his safety with a look of vigilance.

He is a one-shoulder backpack with hands in his pockets, tall and handsome sunny boy. He looks like he is about the same age as himself. He is seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a brown jacket with a hat and blue jeans. His slightly brown hair is a little curly. His sword eyebrows and starry eyes, his nose is high, and he has a lazy smile on his lips. His accent is strange. He should be a foreigner.

"Miss, what were you thinking just now? So engrossed? Are you thinking about your boyfriend?"

The relaxed tone was ridiculous, not like saying hello to strangers, but like a normal conversation between old friends. Moreover, appearance, temperament, conversation and attitude were difficult to make people disgusted. He was a sunny and beautiful boy who could easily win a girl's favor.

Of course, this does not include Xu Mengfei. Because this person appeared rashly, interrupting the beautiful scene at that moment. Moreover, it was a bit like his secret being seen through. His face couldn't help but turn red again, and he felt a little embarrassed and said coldly: "Who are you? It's very impolite to stop a strange girl rashly. Don't you know?"

He snorted softly, looked at him coldly, flashed, and was about to continue walking forward. The sunny boy with his backpack was not conscious of being scolded. His face remained unchanged, and he still had the lazy and warm sunny smile. He blocked her and blocked the way forward.

"Miss. If I disturb you just now, I'm sorry. Can you be lucky enough to know your surname Fang?"

Xu Mengfei did not answer him, but his face became colder. "Get out of the way!"

"Miss, don't get me wrong, I just want to..."

"Go aside! Otherwise I will call the police."
