Chapter 250 Fang Family Birthday (13)

The ancient house is deep, and the vermilion lacquer gate opens wide to the south.

Dozens of Fu Lu Shou Xi Auspicious Ruyi glazed palace lanterns are hung on the black tile walls on the left and right sides. The soft light is evenly sprinkled on the bluestone floor, and also illuminates the luxury cars parked on the roadside.

Flower baskets of congratulations and birthday wishes were placed from the door to the middle of the compound, and at this moment the voices of people were buzzing.

Tonight is the 80th birthday of the old man of the Fang family in Hangzhou.

The guests came like a cloud, and a middle-aged man in a splendid Tang suit and a young man greeted them with smiles at the gate.

"Uncle Zhang, please!"

"Uncle Chen, you are here!"

"Mr. Zhao is here, welcome if you are far away, welcome if you are far away!"

"Ah, Wang Dong, you came here in person, the old man was still talking about you just now!"

"Please please..."

And when Zuo Yi stood in front of the high threshold of Fang's old house, the expressions of the two people who greeted the guests all changed!

The middle-aged man swallowed, bent down involuntarily, and greeted warmly: "Xiao Yi, you are here, the old man is looking forward to you inside, come in quickly!"

Zuo Yi said lightly: "Mr. Fang, I don't know you that well. Please call me by my name. My surname is Zuo, Zuo Yi!"

This is Zuo Yi's uncle Fang Chengdong, who is also one of the Fang family members he hates the most!

Just a few days after Zuo Yi returned from Sadya World, Fang Chengdong took his son to the Linjiang Town Police Station to apply for Zuo Yi's death certificate, plotting property under Zuo Yi's name.

And the last time Fang Chengdong acted as the lackey of Jiangnan New City Group to negotiate with Zuo Yi, he was really greedy and shameless!

Faced with Zuo Yi's cold eyes at the moment, Fang Chengdong, whose face was thicker than the city wall, squeezed out an almost obsequious smile, rubbed his hands together and said, "What do you mean, they are all a family..."

However, Zuo Yi ignored him at all, stepped over the threshold and stepped into the Fang family's old house.

Fang Chengdong didn't dare to chase after him, so he stood there and laughed twice to cover up his embarrassment.

"What's the big deal."

The young man next to him said angrily: "Isn't he just a martial artist, his tail is up to the sky!"

At any rate, Zuo Yi even said a few words to Fang Chengdong, treating him as an empty person, how could he feel comfortable?

Snapped!

Fang Chengdong slapped him on the back of the head, and shouted: "You know what a fart!"

The fact that Zuo Yi became a Martial Daoist certified by the Martial League was no secret in the Fang family. No matter how closed the Fang family was, they had heard about the actions of this young man who had been wandering outside in recent times.

Among them, Fang Chengdong knew the most.

He is very clear that the current Zuo Yi is not just a martial artist!

Zuo Yi didn't even sell the face of the Chen family in Beijing and the Ye family in Jingang, and the latter had nothing to do with him. Jiangnan Xincheng Group even planned to abandon the Linjiang Town project because of this.

The tens of billions of big projects of Beijing Chen and Jingangye were actually blocked by Zuo Yi single-handedly!

You must know that Chen and Ye are unattainable existences for the Fang family. They can easily crush the Fang family to death with a flick of a finger, and Fang Chengdong is not even qualified to be a horse boy for the other party.

So how powerful is Zuo Yi?

Now Fang Chengdong doesn't dare to think about it. What he regrets the most is that he didn't have a good relationship with Zuo Yi before, and he went to Linjiang Town to get Zuo Yi's death certificate...

Thinking about it, he felt that his sphincter was about to lose control.

Fang Chengdong also understood very well that the real purpose of Zuo Yi's coming to the old house tonight was not to pay homage to the old man's birthday.

The young man who had been slapped touched his head depressedly, and watched Zuo Yi enter the hall in embarrassment.

At this moment, the hall of the Fang family mansion was decorated with lights and festoons, and the flower baskets of longevity peaches were placed in a circle. A pair of huge "Shou" characters hung high on the wall, and on the left and right hung a big colored lantern celebrating the birthday of the Eight Immortals.

An old man in brand-new grosgrain sat on the grand master's chair, receiving blessings from the guests with a red face.

The main members of the third house of the Fang family's direct line, dozens of people, big and small, gathered around the birthday star like stars and the moon, and everyone's face was filled with smiles.

What a scene of colorful flowers and blazing fire cooking oil.

But in Zuo Yi's eyes, such a scene is full of falsehood and decay.

The Fang family in Hangzhou fell into decline decades ago. The members of the family all rely on the inheritance passed down from their ancestors to support their vanity, and their lives are not as good as the next generation.

Fang Maocai, the old man in charge of the family, was considered a talented person when he was young. He managed the family's business flourishingly, making the Fang family appear rejuvenated.

However, the good times didn't last long. A global economic crisis broke out, and Fang's export business was hit hard, which also crushed Fang Maocai's courage and ambition.

The helm of the Fang family became more and more confused as he got older, and none of his descendants became successful.

When Zuo Qingyun married into the Fang family, she brought a large sum of dowry with her, but when she left the Fang family, she left the house completely.

Because if she wanted to take away the dowry, she couldn't take Zuo Yi away!

It is conceivable what the situation of the Fang family was like back then, and it has been able to support it until now, and it is unknown how much ancestral property has been sold.

Sooner or later the house will fail.

But Fang Maocai's birthday banquet is very grand every year.

Zuo Yi was completely raised by his mother, he did not eat half a bowl of food from Fang's family for nothing, and the Fang's family did not have the slightest sense of identity.

It's just that when Zuo Qingyun was alive, she always believed that blood ties were inseparable and that the Fang family was ruthless, but she and Zuo Yi had to be courteous, so Zuo Yi was asked to attend Mrs. Fang's birthday banquet every year.

After Zuo Qingyun passed away, Zuo Yi never set foot in Fang's house.

It is said that the old man had a stroke a few years ago. Although he was treated in time and did not die, he also suffered from serious sequelae and could not walk with both legs.

After the guests in front finished paying their respects, he stepped forward.

Zuo Yi first handed the birthday gift he brought with him to the birthday banquet manager next to him, and then bowed his fists to Fang Maocai, and said indifferently: "Old Master, I wish you good luck like the East China Sea, and a longer life than Nanshan."

Just like back then.

The hall instantly became very quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on him.

Surprise, doubt, anger, curiosity, contempt, astonishment...

Fang Maocai's eyes lit up, and he immediately showed a kind smile, nodded and said: "Xiao Yi, I haven't seen you for a long time. I heard that you have been missing for three years. Everyone is worried about you. It's good that you are safe now. Don't worry about it in the future." Go out again."

Zuo Yi smiled and said, "Thank you, old man, for your concern."

Everyone is worried about him?

It's a joke, each of Fang's family counts as one, how many of them will worry about his safety?

There are a lot of people who wish he was about to die!

"I hope you still call me Grandpa."

Old Master Fang said meaningfully: "Although Taiping was very sorry for you mother and son at the beginning, and all mistakes were his fault, but no matter what you are a child of the Fang family, you should come back to see me as an old man when you have time. "

"This is your home after all."

A middle-aged man standing on the left had an extremely ugly expression, as if he had swallowed a handful of flies.

He is Zuo Yi's father Fang Chengping.

But Zuo Yi never admits that he has such a heartless father.

Fang Chengping was only a few meters away from him, and he didn't even take a look--for fear of dirtying his eyes!

This contemptuous and disdainful attitude was clearly felt by everyone present.

As for Fang Maocai's sincere words, Zuo Yi didn't make any answer, with a look of "I'll just watch you perform quietly" on his face.

Zuo Yi knew very well what kind of character this old man was.

If he didn't know that he is not what he used to be, Fang Maocai would definitely not put on such a "kind and kind" appearance.

When Zuo Qingyun chose to divorce Fang Chengping back then, it had nothing to do with Mrs. Fang's partiality and harshness.

The atmosphere at the scene was inexplicably awkward.

Most of the guests looked at each other in blank dismay, and some watched the show with great interest.

"Ahem!"

Fang Maocai coughed twice, forced a smile and said, "By the way, your aunt is also here this time. She should be at the side hall now. I haven't seen your aunt and nephew for a long time. Go and meet her."

"Um."

Zuo Yi nodded, turned and left the hall.

As soon as he left, the atmosphere in the hall finally returned to a bit of excitement.

Mrs. Fang continued to socialize with the guests with a smile, as if she didn't care about what happened just now.

But his right hand, which was holding the armrest of the seat, turned white from the exertion.

The most embarrassing person on the scene was undoubtedly Fang Chengping, and others gave him strange looks.

Some ridiculed, some gloated.

It made him wish he could find a crack in the ground and get in!
