Chapter 61: Chapter 61: Old man, your days are numbered!Watching the butler lead Ye Huan and Liu Tianyun into the hall, Liu Dandan’s face turned sour.

    Indeed, no matter what, Liu Tianyun is considered a model figure of the third generation of the Liu Family, and the family would definitely back her up no matter what.

    But in doing so, that damn security guard gets to bask in the glory!

    Damn it!

    Liu Dandan gritted her teeth, letting out a cold huff.

    Soon, she noticed the butler leading the two towards her, her face changed slightly as she stood up and said, "Uncle Zhou, what are you doing?"

    "I’m seating them," the butler Zhou Yuanan said with a smile.

    "Seating?" Liu Dandan’s face turned livid, "Although the family is backing them up, there’s no need to let them sit here, is there? Xiao Yu paid 14.99 million to enjoy this high-standard dining table."

    Zhou Yuanan was momentarily stunned, then looked embarrassed: "Miss, you must be mistaken..."

    "Mistaken about what!" Liu Dandan crossed her arms, stood up, and sneered, "I won’t allow certain people to freeload. This table is not one he is qualified to sit at!"

    "Miss, please move aside, you really are mistaken..."

    Liu Dandan spat, looking dissatisfied: "I am not mistaken, I just won’t allow them to sit here."

    Bai Yu tugged at her sleeve again, attempting to prevent her from speaking further, otherwise her face would be humiliated beyond repair!

    When he saw Zhang Hongyu exit the hall, he anticipated that Ye Huan would receive the highest level of hospitality...

    His so-called golden invitation and that blood jade, in front of Ye Huan’s Yuanqing celadon imperial cup, were nothing but jokes!

    "Xiao Yu, at this point, why are you still defending that ungrateful woman Liu Tianyun? If she doesn’t want to sit, then so be it!"

    Bai Yu was anxious: "Aunt Liu, that’s not what I mean!"

    "I understand you." Liu Dandan nodded resolutely, "I know you really want Tianyun to sit at the table, but she doesn’t have the blessing, there’s no need to force it!"

    "No, I’m..."

    Without waiting for Bai Yu to continue, Liu Dandan snorted coldly, her voice deep, "No way, she can’t sit here today!" sea??h thё novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    "This..." Zhou Yuanan sighed helplessly, then walked to the side.

    Ye Huan and Liu Tianyun followed him without saying a word.

    "Tch, a toad wanting to eat swan meat? No way!" Liu Dandan curled her lips disdainfully.

    But next, she suddenly exclaimed, "Uncle Zhou, why are you seating them there? That’s Dad’s special dining table!"

    The dad she referred to was naturally the head of the Liu Family, Liu Aimin.

    Zhou Yuanan said, "Miss, Ye Huan just gifted a Yuanqing celadon imperial cup worth a billion, but we didn’t prepare a table of that standard, so I consulted the master..."

    He cleared his throat and said, "The master said to add two chairs next to his table."

    With that, he instructed the maids to bring two redwood and gold-threaded chairs, placing them next to the wooden table at the very back of the hall.

    Liu Dandan was dumbfounded, grabbing Zhou Yuanan’s arm in disbelief: "Uncle Zhou, are you... are you mistaken? This... this is a large banquet, my... my dad should have a separate table, and... and a billion in value? He just gave a lousy cup!"

    "Miss Liu, that’s where you’re wrong!" Zhang Hongyu came over, smiling, "That cup is indeed a genuine Yuanqing celadon imperial cup, worth a billion!"

    Zhou Yuanan also said, "We didn’t have a table for a billion, so Master instructed Ye Huan and the young lady to sit there, that’s a direct order from the Master."

    "What!"

    Liu Dandan’s mouth could fit a stone, frozen on the spot.

    A billion? Yuanqing celadon imperial cup?

    Sitting next to Liu Aimin?

    What... what’s going on!

    She was completely stunned.

    Soon, everyone entered the banquet hall.

    Without exception, they all cast envious glances towards Ye Huan and Liu Tianyun.

    The old master of the Liu Family, Liu Aimin, was the oldest entrepreneur in Celestial Sea City, highly respected, even the mayor had to show him respect!

    Yet because of his old age and the lack of a designated Liu Family heir, at previous large banquets, to avoid suspicion, he would choose to sit alone.

    Now, that tradition was broken.

    This unidentified man, with an extravagant gift worth a billion, brought Liu Tianyun with him to gain the opportunity to sit at the same table!

    "Hey, what do you think is the relationship between Miss Liu and that man?"

    "I think it’s unusual, otherwise why would they appear together and gift something worth a billion?"

    "I’ve never heard of any scandals about Miss Liu before, what’s going on?"

    "No matter what, all we can do is be envious!"

    "Yes indeed..."

    A lot of people began whispering, their words filled with envy for the two.

    Being able to dine with Liu Aimin, especially at such an event, is an enormous honor!

    The surrounding chatter made Liu Dandan’s face turn livid.

    She glared with anger.

    A table worth 14.99 million at the highest standard? Comparing that to dining with Liu Aimin, it’s nothing but a big joke!

    That "clown" wasn’t lying, his gift brought immense face!

    Now, it was not herself receiving the attention of the masses, but the "clown son-in-law" she despised the most, how infuriating!

    At the same time, she also deeply regretted it, her long nails embedded into her flesh, drawing blood.

    If she had believed Ye Huan’s words, another chair would have been added next to that table!

    In that case, she would have also been the object of envy for all the socialites present!

    Regret, such deep regret!

    Liu Dandan’s face was filled with remorse.

    ...

    At nine-thirty in the evening, the grand banquet celebrating Liu Aimin’s seventieth birthday officially began.

    Zhou Yuanan, the butler of the Liu Family mansion, slowly pushed a wheelchair down from the spiral staircase on the second floor.

    Sitting in the wheelchair was an old man with white hair, the focal point of the banquet—Liu Aimin!

    Liu Aimin had reached his seventies, yet the aura between his eyebrows did not diminish at all, his body was imposing, as if possessing the courage of a thousand men.

    His deep eyes seemed to hold a thousand galaxies, his sword-like brows were sharp as blades, exuding an extraordinary aura.

    "Greetings, Patriarch!"

    Everyone stood up, bowing respectfully to him.

    "Hmm, I hope you all enjoy yourselves."

    Liu Aimin nodded slightly, just sitting there, he exuded an aura of authority without anger.

    With that, he then maneuvered the wheelchair to the frontmost table.

    "Grandpa," Liu Tianyun greeted with a smile, then helped Liu Aimin into the chair, her face showing a hint of guilt.

    This elderly man, who brought her from the orphanage into the Liu Family and raised her, he had aged so much over the past two years.

    "Young man..." Liu Aimin looked calmly at Ye Huan, then suddenly smiled, "You must be my old friend’s cherished disciple, Ye Huan, right?"

    His sudden smile shocked everyone in the Liu Family.

    This usually stern and unsmiling elder was now smiling at this man?

    In stark contrast to his authoritative demeanor, Liu Aimin’s smile was surprisingly amiable, resembling a kindly grandfather.

    Ye Huan rubbed his chin, pondered for a while, then astonishingly said:

    "Old man, you don’t have much time left!"
