haoting would not follow through. Unable to bear it any longer, he whispered in her ear, "Teacher Wen, wait until I bring down the geese, and then we can think about whether to braise them or steam th...In the blink of an eye, it came to Old Master Jiang's birthday.

The Jiang family villa was decorated with colorful lights and red lanterns hung everywhere. Because Old Master Jiang was quite conservative and liked old-fashioned practices, even the villa was in a Chinese style, resembling the layout of an ancient prince's mansion.

But the ballroom was in a Western style, with the best orchestra and female singers in the city. They sang all the popular tunes of the day, making the whole place lively and bustling.

Her mother is about to faint!

She guessed it was Song Qingqing. She hadn't expected her son to be so persistent, bringing someone to the banquet without getting the old man's approval. She lowered her voice and said, "Lan listen! Are you going to spoil the old man's mood today and embarrass your parents"

Jiang Lan heard this and frowned slightly: "Mom, I don't have any prejudices!"ered the ground. Huo Yunsi was wearing a dark gray thin woolen coat and holding little Rui Rui in his arms.Ho Xi followed him.The rear door of the car opened, and when Huo Xi got in, Huo Yuns thought...
