Chapter 481

The wind is gentle and sunny.

The Li family’s old house.

Although the influence of the Li family in recent years is not as good as before, the foundation of a century-old prominent family is still there. The 100th birthday of the ancestors of the Li family is a grand event in the upper class of Hong Kong.

From noon, luxury cars on the mountain road in the middle of the mountain were endless, and the heads of major wealthy families came to pay their birthday in person.

The children and nephews of the Li family, led by Li Jialiang, stood in the courtyard to welcome guests from all walks of life. The scene was so grand that it was rare in recent years.

Even several major TV stations in Hong Kong have sent live broadcast teams to broadcast the grand occasion.

After all, the ancestor of the Li family is also a shareholder of the TV station! Tan Xiaotian arrived in the morning. He is a junior. He seems sincere only when he arrives early. There is another reason. Today, the twelve directors of the Jockey Club will reach at least half of them, and he still has the opportunity to lobby for one or two.

Susan, who was studying in a country of corruption, also made a special trip back to pay a birthday to her ancestors. When she saw Tan Xiaotian coming, she was so happy that she rushed up like a child and hugged Tan Xiaotian and refused to let go.

"Brother Tan, I miss you all the time. Do you miss me?"

Susan's slightly blue eyes were a little shy, but she looked at Tan Xiaotian bravely.

Tan Xiaotian reached out and rubbed Susan's long hair like a child. "Of course I miss you. If we haven't seen each other for two years, our little girl is even more beautiful."

Susan pouted, "I'm eighteen this year, I'm not a child anymore, I'm all in college."

"Okay, Susan is a big girl."

Susan's little hand suddenly grabbed Tan Xiaotian, "Brother Tan, I'll take you to see my ancestors. Last time you saved me, my ancestors said they want to thank you!"

Tan Xiaotian also wanted to see this ancestor of the Li family, a legendary figure in the Hong Kong business world. It is said that the Li family has today's glory because this ancestor opposed the public opinion and spent a huge amount of money to buy the desolate land near Etou Mountain at that time.

And in the future, this land will have a new name - Causeway Bay.

The Li family has no need to do anything over the years, and can protect their descendants from food and clothing by collecting rent.

Susan pulled Tan Xiaotian to the old house, and told him as he walked, "Brother Tan, when he meets his ancestors, don't call me Susan. The ancestors are very traditional. She only calls me Chinese name, and you will call me A Su later."

"Okay, I remember, Ah Su."

Tan Xiaotian called out, thinking that the name was strange. Fortunately, Susan is a woman, otherwise wouldn't she take advantage of everyone.

There are also many people in the house, most of whom are older elders.

Li Su was embarrassed to hold Tan Xiaotian's hand again. She kept saying hello to the people around her. It took a lot of effort to bring Tan Xiaotian to the second floor.

At the entrance of the stairs on the second floor, Lao Jiao, the housekeeper of the Li family, guards here like a door god.

"Grandpa Jiao, I want to take Brother Tan to meet his ancestors. Please inform me."

Li Su acted coquettishly and pulled Lao Jiao's sleeves and shook them a few times.

"Miss, wait, I'll go in and ask my second grandma."

Lao Jiao looked at Li Su with a doting look and smiled into the room next to him.

Soon after, Lao Jiao came out and apologized, "Miss, Mr. Tan, I'm really sorry. My second grandma was chatting with the White Elephant King in the house and no longer saw the guests."

Li Su was very disappointed, "Brother Tan is my savior, so is the great grandma unwilling to meet him?"

Tan Xiaotian reached out to stop her from continuing, "After all, I'm old, I guess I've met many guests today. Maybe I'm tired, so I won't see you if I don't see you! But I have a gift here, which I brought from Yanjing. Please give it to my ancestors."

Tan Xiaotian handed the brocade box in his hand to Lao Jiao and specifically reminded him, "This is a holy object I have sought from a collector. It is the hand-twisted beads of the living woman living in Huang Cult in the late Qing Dynasty. Please hand it over to the hands of my ancestors, which is also my wish."

After hearing this, Lao Jiao immediately took the brocade box, "Mr. Tan is kind. I thanked my second grandma. She must like it."

He held the brocade box and entered the room next to him again.

Tan Xiaotian and Li Su walked downstairs, and Li Su was still explaining, "Brother Tan, don't think too much. After all, the grandma is too old and there are so many customers coming today. She may be tired."

"It's okay, I understand."

The two walked to the first floor, and suddenly Lao Jiao shouted upstairs, "Mr. Tan, my second grandma likes your gift very much, please come up!"

Li Su was surprised and happy, "Brother Tan, great grandma is going to see you, hurry up and go upstairs."

It seems that this holy object has worked. Tan Xiaotian went upstairs again and was invited into the room by Lao Jiao.

Li Su also wanted to follow in, but was stopped by Lao Jiao, "Miss, second grandma just wants to meet Mr. Tan alone."

Li Su was a little disappointed, "Don't you even want to see me?"

A female elder next to him asked Li Su, "Susan, who is that young man next to you?"

Could it be your boyfriend?

So handsome!”

Li Su immediately became excited and immediately threw her unhappiness out of the sky.

****Tan Xiaotian immediately narrowed his eyes as soon as he stepped into the room.

The curtains in the room were tightly pulled and dark.

On the sofa, there were two old and dissatisfied old men, one man and one woman.

Because I just entered the room, my eyes could not adapt to the dark environment for a while, and Tan Xiaotian couldn't see the appearance of these two people clearly.

But there is no doubt that the woman must be the ancestor of the Li family, and the man may be the White Elephant King mentioned by Lao Jiao, a master who is famous in Hong Kong Island and Southeast Asia. He is known for his fortune telling Feng Shui and is known as a living god.

Many politicians and great merchants are regarded as legendary masters of gods.

"Hello, ancestor, Tan Xiaotian wishes you a birthday. I wish you a blessing as long as the East China Sea and the South Mountain."

Tan Xiaotian doesn’t care whether he can see clearly or not. Anyway, he just bows and bows and says it’s good.

"Thank you, I heard that you are also the savior of my great-granddaughter. I want to thank you! Young man."

The old lady spoke. Although she was a centenarian, she spoke very calmly and had a very healthy voice.

"Young man, the old lady likes your birthday gift very much, you are interested.

I'll ask you, where did you get these hand-twisted beads?"

The White Elephant King beside the old lady spoke.

Tan Xiaotian did not hide it, but stood there and repeated Master Ma’s original words, and specifically mentioned the valuable Nine-Eyed Dzi bead.

It is probably because the old lady likes this hand beads very much, so she specially asked him to come in and thank him.

"Young man, come closer. Since we met today, we are destined to be. You are the benefactor of the Li family. I will show you your face."

Tan Xiaotian gradually adapted to the light indoors. The White Elephant King looked over 80 years old, with a frown on his face. He was so old that he was not good, but his eyes were crystal clear, just like a baby.

He waved to Tan Xiaotian.

Tan Xiaotian didn't believe this, but the elder summoned him, so he didn't have any objections. He obediently walked to the sofa and squatted down.

The White Elephant King smiled and looked at Tan Xiaotian seriously.

ah?
