Chapter 98 Birthday Banquet

This was the first time that Leng Yan's birthday was so grand in these twenty-five years. He invited first-rate families in the upper-class in Nanyang City.

Leng Hu and Hu Xian also came back from outside the day before. They did not come for the birthday banquet but to see Mu Tianen. They had heard so much about Mu Tianen during this time, especially from the mouth of their daughter-in-law, which was full of praise. Of course, they were very curious.

Keeping a low profile was more Leng Yan. He was willing to hold a banquet for Mu Tianen, which could show how much he valued her.

The birthday banquet would be held in one of the Leng Clan's manors. Now that the weather had turned cold and the sun was setting, luxury cars stopped at the manor's gate. People dressed fashionably and wealthy people came down one by one, as couples or families.

Everyone got out of the car with a smile, and when they looked up, their eyes were full of amazement.

There were many wonderful manors in Nanyang City, but it was really rare to see such a wide one before.

It took five minutes to drive from two large iron doors to the main house, passing through a vast expanse of lush forest, then going around a large spectrum of fresh flowers, grass, pavilions, and clear streams. In the distance, one could even see jumping rabbits.

The main house was not ordinary, but a castle in European style. It was filled with an ancient aura and covered a wide area.

Entering from the main house, one's horizons were broadened again, with the luxurious and countless expensive decorations in limited quantities.

To the Back garden, all were stunned. However, when walking into the banquet, they were shocked again. The flowers that had been transported over were all over the banquet, with many handmade decorations. Although it was not limited in quantity, it was rare to find handmade ones, which was time-consuming.

An exclusive chef served at each table, in charge of different dishes.

Many people recognized that those chefs were the chief cooks of various big hotels, who were hard to invite despite countless efforts. It was the first time they had seen all of them.

In the past, they all knew that the Leng Clan had a deep foundation with hundreds of years of history. But they didn't know how powerful they were. Now, they had a clear understanding.

This banquet had cost at least a hundred million. They were really rich.

However, everyone was more interested in Leng Yan. Not many people had seen him before.

The only thing they knew about him was his name, and they couldn't help but start discussing.

"Have you met Young Master the Leng Clan?"

"Last time, I went to Mu Clan's anniversary celebration. I saw him dance with Mu family's daughter once."

"He's very handsome, with a sharp aura. He should not be easy to get along with."

"Is he that handsome? I think he definitely can't compare to the President of Mu Clan."

"I don't think so. No matter what, he is the heir of a century-old family. I also heard that the Leng Clan is from an ancient martial family, with a temperament different from ours."

"What I'm concerned about is why he is with Mu family's little daughter who just came back?"

"That should be for the sake of Chief Mu. Young Master Leng and Chief Mu are friends."

"I guess so too, that..."

This person swallowed the words she hadn't finished speaking. She originally wanted to say disaster star. But immediately thinking of the consequences of those who said these words, she didn't dare.

The Mu family of four stood to the side and listened quietly.

Mu Tianyu was not interested in this. She only came because of her sister. She and Leng Yan were not familiar with each other. Otherwise, she would rather go to work.

Mu Tianheng looked around, "Dad, no one is absent."

"No, how could someone be absent? Some people outside still want to come in," Mu Zongwen said coldly.

The Leng Clan held a banquet for the first time in more than ten years. He had forgotten the last time the Leng Clan held a banquet. These aristocratic families must seize the opportunity.

Not interested in these things, Wen Jia only cared about her little daughter. From the moment she came here, she said that she had something to do and ran away. She did not know what she was busy with.

"Don't say anymore. The Leng Clan is here."

"The Old Master of the Leng Clan is back. They value Leng Yan as their heir."

The gossipers immediately dispersed.

Leng Hu and Hu Xian walked in front, looking energetic with a strong aura. It was not intentional but natural. One wore a dark red Tang suit and the other wore a cheongsam with plum blossoms embroidered on it.

Leng Ji and Wen Anqi followed closely behind. Leng Ji wore a dark gray handmade suit fitted with a dark red tie, and Wen Anqi was in a red full-length dress.

Although the two were more than 50 years old, they maintained themselves well and looked like they were in their thirties.

The Leng Clan brothers walked at the back. One of them wore a silver handmade suit paired with his elegant blonde hair, looking charming. The other was in a dark, handmade black suit, looking noble and extraordinary with a strong aura.

"Wow, he's handsome, even more handsome than Chief Mu."

"Ah, so Leng Yu is the Second Young Master of the Leng Clan."

"This family's aura is too strong. They are all very good-looking."

Leng Hu and Hu Xian smiled at the crowd, but they were looking for someone. They found where the Mu family's family was standing. People there all looked familiar. They had doubts but did not show it.

All the guests immediately came forward to say congratulatory words and praises, like bees seeing flowers.

If not for the fact that they were still rational, they would have all fought over it.

Leng Yan was also looking for Mu Tianen, but he still had to entertain the guests.

Leng Yu, who had been squeezed out, was holding a glass of champagne. Beside him stood many ladies who had come to take a photo with him. He was dealing with them with an enigmatic look.

A moment later, Leng Yan went to say the opening speech. But after finishing speaking it, he still did not find Mu Tianen. It was not that he was worried. After all, she must have come with her family. He was just doubtful.

Leng Yu, who was at the side, was also a little anxious. This situation was beyond his expectations. As he turned around and wanted to find her, he just happened to see Mu Tianen holding her skirt and walking over in a hurry.

Leng Yu almost called her his ancestor. If his brother knew that Mu Tianen could not make the opening dance because of him, his acting career would end. He would be sent to the Leng Clan, Group L, or the most remote place in the Wen Clan to open the market.

Thinking about it was terrifying, Leng Yu shuddered and shook his head, not daring to think about it anymore.

Mu Tianen apologized to Leng Yu in a low voice, looking apologetic.

Leng Yu didn't even dare to listen and hurriedly led Mu Tianen forward.

Leng Hu and Hu Xian, who were originally not far away from Leng Yu, immediately noticed a girl beside him. She ran quickly, and one could only see her slender back, she was wearing an orange gauze dress with a bun.

The Mu family heaved a sigh of relief when seeing Mu Tianen.

Leng Yan had just finished her opening speech. When he saw Mu Tianen appear, her serious and frosty face seemed to melt like an iceberg meeting a volcano. He smiled and walked towards her after finishing the opening speech.

When seeing Leng Yan walk down, all the wealthy young ladies looked at him with affection. Every single one of them was waiting for Leng Yan with a posture they thought was the best.

However, Leng Yan only saw Mu Tianen all the time. Step by step, he walked past those ladies and stood in front of her. He made a gentleman's salute and smiled, "This beautiful young lady, can I invite you to dance with me?"

"It's my honor," Mu Tianen said as she ran over. Her face was not red, with a sweet smile. She stretched out her right hand and placed it on the large palm.

The eyes of all the girls followed Leng Yan. When seeing him walk up to Mu Tianen, they were all unwilling, but they could not say anything. The Mu family stood there. They had seen the fate of those who had said bad things about Mu Tianen.

How could they dare to say anything?

The lights dimmed and the band on the side began to play. Leng Yan and Mu Tianen slid into the middle of the dance floor.

Leng Hu and Hu Xian finally saw Mu Tianen clearly.

Her pair of big eyes were bright like a clear spring, with a small nose, and red lips with a bright smile, revealing two cute little dimples, delicate and beautiful like dolls.

The orange gauze dress made her look white and delicate.

She was a sweet and cute girl that people liked at a glance.

Wen Anqi asked softly, "Mom, Dad, what do you think of Tianen?"

Leng Hu did not say anything. Usually, this kind of thing would be handed over to his wife. Hu Xian said, "She is a very simple child. I can tell from her eyes."

As soon as the other three heard this, they knew that Hu Xian was satisfied, and she rarely said this when seeing someone for the first time.

The others also joined the dance floor.

Mu Zongwen and Wen Jia brought the two siblings closer to the Leng Clan.

After the family took turns greeting each other, Mu Zongwen said respectfully, "Uncle Leng, long time no see."

Leng Hu stroked his white beard, "Why aren't Wen Yu and Lan Ting here?"

Wen Jia replied, "Uncle Leng, my parents said that they can't make do with the gathering of young people. They will visit Uncle Leng and Auntie Hu tomorrow."

Leng Hu looked at Wen Jia and frowned, but there was a smile in his eyes. "Old Wen is too lazy."

Hu Xian, who was beside him, immediately glared at him, meaning that he was speaking nonsense. Then, she smiled kindly at Wen Jia, "Don't listen to your Uncle Leng's nonsense. By the way, ask your mother to ring Tianen to our house tomorrow. Let's talk about it then. Alright, we'll go back to rest."

Wen Jia replied with a smile. She instantly understood that they had come to the banquet to see her little daughter. And she was quite satisfied.

Mu Tianheng and his sister also saw it. They looked at each other. They were worried that Hu Xian would have a problem with their little sister. As a very traditional person from a very ancient big family, she followed rules for her entire life.

They were afraid that Hu Xian would care about their sister being called the jinx.

Although the Leng Clan's surname was Leng, Hu Xian was the head of the family.

Wen Anqi and Leng Ji originally wanted to send the two off, but they refused.

Many people noticed that Leng Hu and Hu Xian had left, but their target was not them, so they did not notice.

In the middle of the dance floor, Mu Tianen held Leng Yan's waist with both hands and looked up slightly, looking at Leng Yan with a sweet smile.

Leng Yan looked down at her gently, "Silly girl, why are you smiling?"

"Hehe, I'm just happy. I'm just happy for you. Brother Yan, happy birthday," The love in Mu Tianen's eyes was about to overflow.

Leng Yan's heart was filled with sweetness, "What did you do just now?"

When hearing this, Mu Tianen immediately shifted her gaze away. She looked left and right, but she did not look at Leng Yan. The latter looked doting, but there was nothing he could do. He could not force her, "Is there a secret that I can not know about?"

Mu Tianen pursed her lips and shook her head, "You can, but you have to wait for a while. The birthday present I prepared is not expensive."

Leng Yan stopped asking, "I'm looking forward to it."

In the distance, a pair of eyes full of anger and resentment looked at Mu Tianen. If eyes could hurt people, Mu Tianen might be covered in wounds.

In the past, Mu Tianen would have noticed it, but her attention was on Leng Yan at this moment.

Leng Yan also did not notice it.
