Jiang Li was still entertaining guests at the front door, when he was suddenly poked by the servant at home.

"Miss, look over there."

Jiang Li looked up and saw several members of the Cheng family approaching, carrying many things and grinning.

Not only were they dressed neatly, but Mrs. Cheng and her daughter-in-law also put on custom-made dresses, and even wore complete jewelry.

Jiang Li felt relieved and walked over calmly.

Mrs. Cheng came over to greet her first, took out three thick red envelopes from her bag and placed them on the table.

"Miss Jiang, we were rude just now. No, now we are here to apologize to you. Today is your grandfather's birthday after all. It doesn't look good if everyone is so stiff, right? We only need two seats. .”

Jiang Li glanced at the three red envelopes, and each one should contain 20,000 yuan.

She smiled lightly.

"But Aunt Cheng, you just said clearly that you couldn't come. There are a lot of guests today, so I will make room for you."

Mrs. Cheng's face froze, her words stuck in her throat.

When Mr. Cheng saw this, he quickly stepped forward, behaved like an elder and began to scold Jiang Li.

"What's the matter with you little girl? Are you so incapable of doing things? Do you have the final say at such a big table? It's not your turn to speak in your family, right?"

But he remembered that Mr. Jiang used to hate this eldest granddaughter the most. How could he leave all the arrangements for his birthday banquet to her?

"Li Li can indeed speak well in our house. What do you think?"

A powerful voice came over, and everyone looked up and saw Jiang Zhaoyuan, who was leaning on a dragon-head crutch.

He was wearing a dark purple Chinese-style jacket with blessing patterns embroidered on it, which was solemn and grand.

Her hair has also been carefully taken care of, and she is full of energy. She doesn't look like a 70-year-old man at all.

Jiang Zhaoyuan walked over with a cold snort and gave the final eviction order.

"Old man Cheng, our girl is kind enough to invite you. It's because you bite Lu Dongbin and don't recognize a good heart. I'll leave it here today. No one from your Cheng family can even think of stepping into my Jiang family!"

The faces of the Cheng family members were turning blue and white. They were standing there and walking, and they were not staying.

It happened that the people who came in and out of Jiang's house today were all high-profile people. They really couldn't afford to shame this person, so they could only take their things and leave in despair.

So for several days, Jiang Li didn't see any movement from the villa opposite.

Of course, this is a follow-up.

Right now she has to be busy taking care of these distinguished guests.

Fortunately, she was prepared in advance. Almost everyone made a list according to their preferences, and then asked the servants to recite them sentence by sentence.

Mrs. Wu, who doesn't like green tea, got a cup of black tea.

Mr Chua, who cannot eat sweets due to illness, was given sugar-free snacks.

Miss Zhao and Miss Chen had some conflicts, and one of them was assigned to the front hall and the other to the back hall.

In the past, people would get bored after just a few minutes at such a banquet, but after staying at Jiang's house for a full half hour, they were still not satisfied.

It really feels like home.

As the eldest lady, Lin Manru was naturally praised by everyone. A circle of ladies gathered around the sofa where she was sitting.

"Manru, your family has a good arrangement today. It's very organized."

"Yes, yes, I handed you the water before I asked for it when I was thirsty." "This snack is also delicious. Where did you buy it? I will also arrange it for my family during the Chinese New Year."

"Your family actually invited Mrs. Li. She has the worst temper. She usually doesn't come to this kind of dinner. But she actually came today. It's because your family is so proud."

Lin Manru smiled from ear to ear.

"Everyone is serious. I really don't have any worries about this meeting today. As you know, I've been busy with the studio recently. Where can I have the time to take care of this?"

"Ah? Who arranged that? It can't be your younger siblings, right?"

"No, it's my daughter, Li Li. She started making arrangements a few months ago. The snacks you eat and the tea you drink are all chosen by her."

Suddenly, all the ladies in the circle were full of praise for Jiang Li.

It happened that Jiang Li came over at this time.

The heating was on in the villa, and she only wore a light pink filigree cheongsam, embroidered with pearl silver thread, which was specially designed by Lin Manru and complemented her slim waistline.

Her black hair was pinned up with a white jade hairpin, and round Australian white pearls hung from her ears, making her face look whiter and brighter.

His dignified and elegant appearance attracted compliments from a circle of ladies.

"Long time no see, this girl of yours is getting better and better."

"How did Mrs. Jiang train her? She is good-looking and capable. Unlike my daughter, who only eats and sleeps at home every day."

"Miss Jiang is still sensible. How old are you now? Have you fallen in love?"

Jiang Li smiled slightly and responded one by one, and said hello one by one.

The person sitting closest to Lin Manru was Mrs. Meng.

She is a college classmate of Lin Manru and Jiang Minghai, and they have known each other many years ago.

Mrs. Meng has a very good family background. She married a husband worth over 100 million yuan directly after graduation, and her life is going smoothly.

She didn't have much contact with Lin Manru before. When she heard that Lin Manru had recently opened a studio, she slowly came over to contact her again, saying that she wanted to increase orders for Lin Manru.

Lin Manru, who had been a good friend for many years, did not refuse and even invited her over.

Listening to people around her praising the Jiang mother and daughter, Mrs. Meng ate a small piece of pastry, glanced around twice, then twirled her orchid fingers and clutched the tea cup, deliberately changing the subject and saying:

"I just saw your second sister-in-law talking on the phone in the back. It's good to know that she's back. Where is your third sister-in-law? Why don't you come out to help during such a dinner?"

Lin Manru sighed, "I'm still in the country and haven't come back yet. I called and said that the twins are sick again. It's cold and it's not easy to deal with. The two children were born prematurely and have been suffering from various illnesses since they were born. It's quite pitiful."

Mrs. Meng laughed and put the cup down.

"No matter how bad your health is, you can't get sick so often. After all, it's your old man's 70th birthday. Why don't you bring him back all year round?"

Lin Manru laughed bitterly, "Wanzhi sent me something."

Mrs. Meng laughed again and looked at the sisters next to her.

"Don't you know? Their third daughter-in-law is strange. She is from a rural area, but she managed to fly up a branch and become a phoenix. However, after giving birth to the child, she keeps returning to her parents' home every once in a while. Either that or the three elders in their family Well, marry an illiterate rural wife and live like a bachelor without saying a word."

The people around were surprised.

In their perception, they basically have nothing to do with rural people.

That woman named Wanzhi got such a good marriage, but she was so disrespectful.

Lin Manru did sigh, "After all, this is the marriage arranged by the old man. He said that she and the third child are a perfect match. Of course, we juniors can't say anything."
