I have a secret in my left eye

Chapter 159 Ignorance of etiquette
In a big family, it stands to reason that blood ties will be valued, but there is no way. After all, the safety of the family must be protected by the strong, and everyone respects the strong.

The most important thing is that the Xuan family's child died young and became a stillborn child at birth.

For this reason, the two of them were almost too sad. It was not until they saw Xuan Bin who was somewhat similar to their child that they felt happy and recognized the child as their adopted son.

On weekdays, the couple threw countless pill treasures at him. It was considered as a compensation for the love they had for the child who was not blessed to bear it.

"Then he is really lucky." Xu Deng sighed quietly.

"With his temperament, he may not be able to take on such a heavy responsibility." Xuan Mo smiled, but he wasn't too afraid of the man rushing forward.

He had already seen clearly the characteristics of this man. Like his biological parents, he was not a good person. He did not know how the patriarch of the family fell in love with him and regarded him as the heir who could bear the responsibility for the prosperity of the family. .

Not to mention whether anyone obeys him, just based on his temperament, he is destined not to be such an easy-going master.

The singing and dancing in the crowd suddenly stopped, and the lights in the entire venue dissipated in an instant. After a while, as the crowd waited, a female voice sang sweetly, and then a beam of light suddenly shone in the middle of the hall. , a woman about forty years old wearing white silk appeared.

She has thick black hair, fair skin, and the gentle frame of a southern woman, but her eyes are a little firmer.

The subsequent activities were very free, and it was not until a while later that they saw many guests bringing gifts that they had prepared long ago.

Xu Deng quietly stuffed food into his mouth while calmly watching the guests take out priceless gifts and say hello to Mrs. Xuan's family.

All kinds of precious jewelry and emeralds cost tens or even millions, or they are expensive medicinal materials. Every single one of them is a gift that ordinary people would be speechless and afraid to accept.

Although you can’t own it, it’s great to mingle among the crowd and see the world.

Xu Deng just watched it comfortably, from shock to numbness at first, and then simply calculated how many zeros were behind their treasure.

Come to think of it, this is Mr. Xuan's mother, the protagonist of this banquet, Ms. Ye Ruilan.

But the Xuan family has this capital.

After Ms. Ye finished speaking, she turned her gaze to her husband. Seeing his calm and concerned smiling eyes, they both smiled in understanding.

After all, they are an old couple who have gone through many ups and downs together for many years. Back then, they worried a lot about Xuan Mo, but now they have nothing to say when they look at their outstanding son.

Ms. Ye was very happy to see that everyone could come to her birthday banquet. She softened her voice and said sincerely in front of everyone's eyes: "Thank you for giving me the face to attend my birthday banquet. Thanks to your care, our family's industry can be improved." Zhizhi is rising. Since you are here today, I invite you to have a drink and don’t be restrained.”

"Speaking of which, since this is the first time for Mr. Xuan to bring someone back, why doesn't his female companion also send something? After all, Xiaolan is also Mr. Xuan's biological mother. How come his female companion is so ignorant of etiquette and doesn't know Humanity?"

The elder of the Xuan family deliberately raised the flames, pursed his thin lips slightly, and smiled kindly on his face. However, his words came out with condemnation, which was actually a criticism of Xuan Mo.

Didn't your son say that he was unwilling to marry into a noble family? But look at where your son has found a wild girl. She doesn't know the etiquette. Your son still has the nerve to talk to us. Mrs. Ye looked at Xu Deng, who was eating food quietly on the side. She looked at it for a while, smiled, looked friendly, and said helpfully: "Since this is the first time for Xuan Mo to bring a female companion, it shouldn't be..." I know, it’s just that this girl looks so frank and cute, which makes people feel close to her at first sight. "

The eyes of the elder Xuanzang flickered, and there was a slight fluctuation, and he stopped saying a word.

Xu Deng, who was originally quiet, was stopped by Xuan Mo.

"Let me send him off?" Xu Deng stared at the serious-looking Mr. Xuan in front of him, sighing inwardly that he was too thoughtful.

This time when she agreed to come to the banquet, she really just wanted to go through the motions without making any preparations. Mr. Xuan was able to prepare himself, but he thought carefully about it.

However, she then thought about it, after all, she was just a temporary partner, and the two of them had no plans to develop in that direction. In this case, it was better to sort things out early.

Xu Deng shook his head: "I appreciate Mr. Xuan's kindness, but I have already thought about what to give Mrs. Ye as a gift."

Um? Xuan Mo moved slightly but said no more.

Xuan Bin, who was in the crowd in the distance, watched the two people pulling each other, but couldn't help but his eyes were condensed, and he let out a sharp light, looking thoughtful.

Xu Deng stepped forward and came to Mrs. Ye. He smiled politely and said, "Hello, Aunt Ye. I am Xuan Mo's friend. I am honored to attend your banquet today. Please accept my kindness."

"How can you be so embarrassed? It's such a waste of money." Mrs. Ye smiled and saw the ordinary black bottle in Xu Deng's hand. Although she was stunned for a while, she didn't say anything more.

She took it in her hand and rubbed it a few times. What she touched was a piece of cold stone. She turned her head and looked at Xu Deng again, with a faint smile in her eyes.

"Wait!" A muffled shout came from an elder of the Xuan family. He leaned on a cane and said sadly: "Ye's daughter-in-law, it's just that she doesn't know etiquette. Why don't you mention anything? Look at her. You are dressed so elegantly, but the gifts you give are so shabby. How can this girl be so stingy?"

"If you act like this, you will not enter our Xuan family in the future, or you will fall into a small family of another family. Which family's parents-in-law can accept such a small favor from her?"

The elder of the Xuan family clearly wanted to stir up trouble, but the people present didn't pay attention to it. After all, strictly speaking, they disliked the female companion Xuan Mo had found, so there was no reason for them to discipline her.

However, people were invited here to attend the banquet today, but Xuan Mo didn't know how to remind him. Isn't this embarrassing Mrs. Ye in public?
After all, is she still his biological mother? Even if this female companion is reluctant to part with her, why can't he still take advantage of her? Looking at the scene in front of them, their appreciation for Xuan Mo, the successor in power, inevitably dropped.

Even if he can pick out such a woman, it shows that his vision is not good!
Of course, Ms. Ye didn't want to stir up conflicts. Her face was stagnant, and with a complicated psychology towards this elder in her family, she immediately helped: "Why is it such a serious matter? If you really want to, give me a feather. I'm all grateful, so why would I dislike this gift from my friend Mo'er?"

"Grandpa, look how serious you are. This little girl kindly came to a banquet to give me a gift, but you dismissed her as worthless. This makes me feel sad."

"Since I can make good friends with Mo'er, I believe that she has her own abilities. The original purpose of hosting this banquet is to make everyone happy. Why bother to compare with this gift and make everyone lose interest?"

Ms. Ye smiled after speaking and was very calm and generous.

Her move not only maintained Xu Deng's dignity, but also reduced the impact on her son. It was also a cover-up to turn the story over.
