Chapter 18: Birthday Banquet

Wen Jia. When Su Yi returned, he saw a bustling scene of cars and servants outside the Wen family mansion.

Today is the 80th birthday of Lao Tai Jun, and the Wen family had been preparing for it several days ago.

Not only will many members of the Wen family branch participate, but also many influential figures and influential figures who have good relationships with the Wen family will come to their homes to celebrate their birthdays.

This matter has already spread throughout Guangling City, attracting attention from all directions.

Su Yi didn't take this seriously at all.

He is an undervalued son-in-law, and whether he participates or not is destined to be ignored.

Brother in law

As soon as Su Yi returned, he saw a beautiful and graceful figure standing there, waving at him with a smile on her delicate face.

Wen Lingxue, a young girl of 28 years old, is beautiful and pure.

Why are you standing here

Su Yi's face showed a smile.

Nature is waiting for you

Wen Lingxue stepped forward and affectionately took Su Yi's arm, saying crisply, "Brother in law, my mother just said that when you come back, she wants you to attend the birthday banquet too

Me

Su Yi was taken aback.

Wen Lingxue explained, "My mother said this is my grandmother's order

Su Yi's eyes narrowed slightly.

Wen Lingxue's grandmother was Liang Wenbi, an elderly lady with a superior status in the Wen family. Even the head of the clan, Wen Changjing, dared not disobey her orders.

Back then, the marriage between him and Wen Lingzhao was personally decided by Liang Wenbi, and no matter how Wen Lingzhao's parents and other members of the tribe opposed it, it was to no avail!

Let's go

Su Yi nodded.

After awakening the memories of his past life, he also thought about finding an opportunity to meet the old lady of the Wen family and ask about some things from that time.

The densely packed mansion of the Wen family is extremely lively, with a continuous stream of guests coming to celebrate their birthday.

In Guangling City, the Wen family is one of the three major clans with a considerable background. The current clan leader is Wen Changjing, who has two younger brothers, Wen Changqing and Wen Changtai.

In addition, there are other branches of the Wen family that have branched out over the years. Today, the Wen family has a total of thousands of members.

Today, many ethnic groups gathered, guests gathered, and the scene was naturally incomparable.

In the area where the clan hall is located, a sumptuous feast has already been set up.

Lingxue has arrived

When Su Yi and Wen Lingxue arrived, many young boys and girls waiting outside the clan hall greeted Wen Lingxue one after another.

These are all young descendants of the literati, many of whom are around the same age as Wen Lingxue.

However, no matter who sees Su Yi, their brows furrow and they turn a blind eye.

A young man in brocade clothes was even more displeased and said, "Su Yi, what is your identity? There's no place for you here. Hurry up and leave, don't disturb our interest

Wen Shaobei.

The younger generation of the Wen family has a handsome son.

However, he comes from a branch of the Wen family and his status is not as good as that of the main branch of the Wen family, such as Wen Lingxue.

As soon as Wen Shaobei spoke up, everyone else laughed and agreed.

During his year in the Wen family, Su Yi, as a son-in-law, was always looked down upon by the Wen family and regarded as a useless person. Even the servants dared to mock and ridicule him.

Wen Lingxue said angrily, "Wen Shaobei, listen to me carefully. It was my grandmother who invited my brother-in-law to attend the birthday banquet! If you want to drive my brother-in-law away now, are you going to confront my grandmother

This... "Wen Shaobei suddenly became speechless.

The others were also stunned for a moment and shut up one after another. They dared not disobey the orders of the old lord.

Wen Shaobei pretended to be carefree and said, "Let's talk about ourselves as if this guy doesn't exist

From this moment on, these young literati formed a small circle, isolating Su Yi from the outside world, ignoring her and turning a blind eye to her.

Even Wen Lingxue, who was standing with Su Yi, was neglected.

Su Yi naturally wouldn't mind these things. He called Wen Lingxue aside and whispered, "Lingxue, come to my courtyard after the birthday banquet. I have something to give you

Ah? What is it

Wen Lingxue is curious.

Su Yi smiled and said, "You'll find out then

At this point, a cry rang out——

Uncle Jueyuan has arrived

Wen Shaobei and those young girls all turned their gaze towards him.

Even some guests and elders in the nearby area had their eyes fixed.

I saw a young man in a white robe walking from a distance, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a dignified appearance, and a remarkable appearance.

Wen Jueyuan, the most outstanding young handsome man of the Wen family generation

Someone sighed.

So it's cousin Jueyuan

Wen Lingxue's pretty face also showed admiration.

Wen Jueyuan, the son of the clan leader Wen Changjing, entered the Songyun Sword Mansion for cultivation at the age of nine and became an outer disciple of the Qinghe Sword Mansion at the age of thirteen. In just four years, he was selected as an inner disciple of the Qinghe Sword Mansion.

With one cultivation level, I have reached the fourth level of "bone refining" in the Blood Moving Realm!

Such achievements in martial arts, placed in the city of Guangling, are enough to make some great figures sigh and feel helpless!

In the younger generation of the Wen family, Wen Jueyuan is a leader like presence.

Today is my grandmother's birthday, please behave well and don't let outsiders see the jokes of our literary family

After Wen Jueyuan walked over, he glanced at Wen Lingxue, Wen Shaobei, and others, and gently reminded them.

As for Su Yi, he was also ignored by him.

Yes

Everyone quickly agreed.

Wen Jueyuan nodded and, without further ado, went straight into the main hall of the clan and sat down.

Only high-ranking elders or top figures of the younger generation are eligible to sit in the clan hall for this birthday banquet!

The most new and small to say in the book of ⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥\886!

And people like Wen Lingxue and Wen Shaobei are currently not qualified.

This made them look at Wen Jueyuan with a hint of envy in their eyes. When could they also achieve this step?

If my sister is here, it's definitely possible

Wen Lingxue expressed some regret.

There is no one to refute this statement.

Today's Wen Lingzhao is a disciple of Tianyuan Academy!

Just such an identity is enough to be on an equal footing with those big shots in the clan.

As far as I know, this birthday banquet is extraordinary and extremely important for our literary family

Suddenly, a woman beside Wen Shaobei whispered softly.

I also heard from my father that in recent years, rumors have been circulating throughout Guangling City that are unfavorable to our Wen family. They say that within ten years, our Wen family will be removed from the three major clans in Guangling

Another young man pondered for a moment and said, "And this birthday banquet is just to solve this matter. The more important people who attend the banquet today, the more advantageous it will be for our literati. The criticisms and rumors in the city will also be debunked

Wen Shaobei said, "Then it depends on the abilities of Uncle Da and Uncle Er. As for Uncle San, hehe

He glanced at Wen Lingxue not far away and didn't say anything further.

In the main branch of the Wen family, Wen Changjing, as the clan leader, wielded great power and had the widest network of contacts, with many distinguished guests coming and going.

Wen Changqing is the second elder of the Wen family's main branch, responsible for coordinating and managing various industries under the Wen family, and also has a very deep network of contacts.

Only Wen Changtai, although he is one of the three elders of the main lineage, has a simple and mediocre temperament, and coupled with his general cultivation, he has almost no social interaction. Their status in the literary family is also not high.

If he were not the younger brother of Wen Changjing and Wen Changqing, he would probably be looked down upon even more.

Although Wen Shaobei didn't continue speaking, how could Wen Lingxue not hear the implied meaning?

Her pretty face darkened. This guy used to mock Su Yi and now he's talking about her father Wen Changtai. How could she not be angry?

But unfortunately, she couldn't refute it.

She herself knows that her father... is indeed too mediocre

Thinking of this, Wen Lingxue felt a muffled breath filling her chest, and her mood became low.

A big hand lightly patted her shoulder, followed closely by Su Yi's voice ringing in her ears:

Ling Xue, in life, one cannot avoid being met with cold eyes and ridicule. If one's strength is not as good, it's okay to be patient. But if one has the ability to counterattack, simply being patient and retreating will only fuel others' arrogance

After a moment of contemplation, Wen Lingxue took a deep breath and said, "Brother in law, I understand now

End of sentence.

She stepped up to Wen Shaobei and said coldly, "Apologize

The girl's expression was cold and her tone was icy, causing Wen Shaobei and others who were whispering to be stunned.

Lingxue, what do you mean? Everyone is chatting, where did I offend you

Wen Shaobei frowned and said.

At this moment, Wen Lingxue appeared extremely dominant, her clear eyes staring at Wen Shaobei like electricity, and she said word by word:

If you don't apologize, I will tell Uncle and his team what you just said word by word. I want to see if they will spare you

I

Wen Shaobei's face was gloomy and uncertain.

Everyone next to him kept their mouths shut and dared not join in.

Anyway, Wen Lingxue is a member of the main clan!

Her father is the third elder of the main lineage, the younger brother of the clan leader Wen Changjing. In terms of identity, these collateral clan members are incomparable.

And Wen Lingxue's sister, Wen Lingzhao, is now a disciple of the Tianyuan Academy, even the clan leader and others value her greatly!

In such a situation, if Wen Lingxue exposes the matter, she doesn't have to think about it at all. Wen Shaobei will definitely suffer.

I'll say it again, apologize

Seeing Wen Shaobei's face change and remain silent for a long time, Wen Lingxue's expression became even colder. Once the sixteen year old girl gets angry, she can cause great oppression.

Wen Shaobei lowered his head with difficulty, his voice like a mosquito fly: "I... was wrong

Wen Lingxue's heart suddenly surged with indescribable joy, and she said coldly, "Speak louder, I didn't hear you

Wen Shaobei looked as if he had been defeated, his expression dejected, and his voice bitter as he said, "Lingxue, I was wrong. I hope you don't mind

Looking at the others, they all remained silent.

Seeing all of this in her eyes, Su Yi couldn't help but nod secretly.

Everyone needs to grow.
