Chapter 456: All Parties Gather
"When did you buy me candied hawthorns?" Wenren Yao shot Xu Zimo a surprised look.
She hurriedly said, "You clearly stole my candied hawthorns and ate them."
"Stop fooling around," Xu Zimo scolded as he looked at Wenren Yao.
"Are you upset because your cousin didn't buy you enough?
You can't eat too much of that stuff. It's bad for your teeth.
If you really want some, your cousin will take you to buy more tomorrow after Grandfather's birthday celebration is over."
After saying that, Xu Zimo gave Wenren Yao no chance to argue and raised his head with a smile toward Wenren Yao.
"Uncle, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first.
Cousin Su is looking for me over there. He has something to discuss!"
"Go on," Wenren Yao nodded slightly.
Xu Zimo left this place of trouble in a hurry, feeling rather embarrassed.
It was not a major matter, but stealing a child's candied hawthorns was still somewhat like bullying.
"Father, he's lying," Wenren Yao said aggrievedly, nearly bursting into tears again.
"Don't cry. Today is your grandfather's birthday," Wenren Yao said, gathering his daughter into his arms.
He smiled and comforted her. "Didn't your cousin say he'll take you to buy some tomorrow?"
The little girl gave an unwilling huff and muttered, "Who wants to be his cousin?"
Not long after dawn broke, guests had already begun lining up outside the Great Gate of the Wenren Family.
Wenren Yao and Wenren Zhao stood at the entrance receiving guests.
Meanwhile, Grandfather Wenren Jingshi and Little Uncle Wenren Teng were in the inner hall.
More than a dozen younger members stood quietly to one side, behaving themselves.
Dozens of tables fashioned from Enlightenment Wood had been placed throughout the spacious courtyard.
