Chapter 758 Birthday Banquet
"Yes! We're going to play a role-playing game this time, so of course we need to assign roles. Then, everyone can improvise based on their own situation, OK?"
"No problem!"
“Okay, listen up, we…” Chao Bufan raised an eyebrow, then made the final decision: “Did you all understand?”
"Understood!" The four friends, unable to contain their excitement, replied with beaming faces.
Immediately, the five little devils' evil laughter mingled together, filling the entire hotel.
******
In the golden autumn of October, the climate in this major city on the southeast coast is just right, neither too hot nor too cold.
Old Tiantou's private residence was brightly decorated and bustling with activity today.
Colonel Tian Baguang was fortunate enough to receive approval from his superiors to take a day off and return home specifically to celebrate the old man's birthday. Right now, he and his family are busy greeting the guests who have come to offer their congratulations!
The happiest person was none other than Old Tian, the birthday boy. The old man had a smile on his face since early morning, looking radiant and refreshed, and it hasn't faded at all since.
However, beneath her smiling face lay a hint of anxiety, her gaze frequently drifting towards the door.
"Master." Old Xie called softly as he approached Old Tian.
"Have Dawei and the others arrived?" Old Tian asked excitedly.
"Not yet. I just contacted them, and they're on their way. They should be here in about ten minutes," Old Xie replied in a low voice.
"You brat, what time is it? You have no sense of time at all." Old Tian scolded in a low voice, clearly displeased with Ge Dawei and the others for arriving late.
"Master, Old Feng and Miss Haitang have arrived," Old Xie said.
As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Shigui, who was also Haitang's father and Lao Tiantou's former subordinate, walked in with a beaming smile. Haitang, wearing a white floral print dress, followed behind him with a smile.
Feng Shigui gave Old Tian a crisp military salute and said with a smile, "Happy birthday, sir!"
"Grandpa Tian, happy birthday! I wish you boundless happiness and longevity!" Haitang, with a radiant smile, delivered her speech, just like a blooming crabapple blossom.
"Good, good! Begonia, you've become more and more beautiful in the years I haven't seen you." Old Tian praised her with great joy.
"Thank you, Grandpa Tian!"
"Old Xie, help them to their seats first."
"Yes, sir."
"Shigui, Haitang, please have a seat. Please forgive me if there is anything I have done poorly!"
"You're too kind, sir. Please go ahead with your work. We'll head over now."
"Okay, okay, whatever you want!"
"Sir, are you really planning to take advantage of this auspicious day to finalize their marriage?" Old Xie asked softly.
“Yes!” Old Tian laughed. “This kid is like a wild horse that has broken free of its reins. We can’t let him continue to be so unruly. It’s time to tame him.”
"But sir, I always feel that Young Master Ge doesn't seem to like Miss Haitang," Old Xie said worriedly.
Old Tian smiled slyly and said, "It's a matter of matching social status; he has no say in this."
Old Xie nodded, then went to the door to continue greeting guests.
Before long, Colonel Tian Baguang came to Old Tian excitedly and said, "Grandpa, they're here."
Old Tian was overjoyed upon hearing this.
Ge Dawei, looking calm and smiling, led his four friends into the hall with cheerful steps.
Unlike before, the five of them were dressed in formal suits and ties today. The five handsome young men looked energetic and dashing, and exuded a more mature and composed air.
As soon as they entered the hall, many people immediately cast surprised glances at them.
"they are?"
"I only recognize the one at the very front; he's General Tian's nephew. I haven't met the other four either."
Many people immediately began to discuss their identities and backgrounds.
"Grandpa, happy birthday! I wish you good health and a long life!" Ge Dawei said in his speech.
"Dear Grandpa Tian, we wish you good health, all the best, and many more happy returns of the day!"
"Alright, alright! Please take your seats, the guests are getting impatient!" Old Tian said with a beaming smile.
"Brother Dawei, you're here." As soon as Haitang entered the room, she looked around, clearly searching for Ge Dawei. When she saw Ge Dawei finally appear in her sight, she was overjoyed and quickly got up to go to him. When she saw Ge Dawei, her smile became even brighter.
"Haitang, long time no see!" Ge Dawei replied with a smile.
"Brother Dawei, how have you been these past few years?" Her voice was soft and incredibly captivating.
Zhou Weihua nudged Ge Dawei, blinked, and then, looking like a starving ghost, said, "The feast is starting! I'm starving! Miss Haitang, why don't you sit with us?" He stared at the food on the table, poked his hand, and almost drooled. Chao Bufan and the others went even further, grabbing the food on the table with their hands, eating it, and then wiping their greasy hands on their clothes.
Haitang frowned slightly, then smiled and said, "No, I'll sit over there. Brother Dawei, I'll come find you after I've finished eating."
Ge Dawei nodded and smiled, saying, "Okay."
After taking his seat, Old Tian stood up, faced everyone in the hall, and said with a smile, "Dear friends and relatives, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend my birthday banquet. I am extremely grateful once again!"
Old Tian spoke eloquently, gave a toast, and then the banquet began.
Before long, relatives and friends began to toast the birthday celebrant, keeping Old Tian very busy.
"Dear Grandpa Tian, we are truly honored to be able to attend your birthday banquet! We, your good friends, raise this glass to you, wishing you continued good health and a cheerful disposition!"
"thanks, thanks!"
Old Tian was all smiles, about to drink the wine in his hand, when Old Xie hurriedly came over and whispered a few words in his ear. Old Tian immediately frowned and then said, "I understand."
Next, he held the quilt in his hand, but hesitated.
Chao Bufan and the others exchanged glances, unsure of what to do.
After hesitating for a moment, Old Tian gave his son, Tian Baguang, a wink. Tian Baguang understood and nodded slightly.
Chao Bufan and his companions weren't stupid; they immediately saw through the situation. Just as the father and son were quietly leaving the scene, the five of them quickly exchanged glances and then followed.
Inside the study, Old Tian stood in front of his desk, his back to his son, Colonel Tian Baguang. His face was solemn, his brows furrowed, and he was deep in thought. He didn't even notice when Chao Bufan and the others quietly entered.
Colonel Tian Baguang turned his head and saw it was Chao Bufan and his group. Just as he was about to speak, Chao Bufan beat him to it, putting a finger to his lips in a shushing gesture. Colonel Tian Baguang nodded in tacit approval. After a moment, Colonel Tian Baguang cautiously asked, "Father, what happened?"
