140 The old lady of Tong's family
When Qian Yichen saw Tong Yi getting out of the car with a little puppy in his arms, he didn't say anything. He just took a look and withdrew his gaze. The two walked side by side towards the Tong's residence.
Tonight is the birthday party of the old lady of the Tong family. The Tong family's house has been brightly lit. Many senior officials from the political and business circles gather here, all of whom are popular figures. The cups of wine are serene, and people in bright and beautiful clothes are in high spirits.
At this time, the banquet had begun. Old Mrs. Tong liked the Chinese style of red and thought that only that would be festive, so the entire banquet hall was decorated with lanterns and red silk.
Qian Yichen was wearing a dark blue suit and had short hair waxed. His behavior was noble. Many people recognized Qian Yichen and came over to say hello.
They couldn't help but look at the orange figure beside Qian Yichen. They looked like they were women, but it was a bit rude to come to the old lady of the Tong family in sweatshirts and jeans to attend the banquet of the old lady of the Tong family.
Tong Yi kept lowering his head and teasing the little puppy in his arms. He wore a sweatshirt and hat to make people unable to see her face.
The cat's ears on her head were trembling and looked very cute, but she seemed out of place with everything around her.
"Mr. Qian, welcome!" Dad Tong heard the butler say that Qian Yichen came to greet him, but when he saw the orange figure beside Qian Yichen, his face darkened.
He stepped forward to pull Tong Yi, lowered his voice and retorted: "Why are you dressing like this? Today is your grandma's 80th birthday, and you don't even look at the occasion."
"What occasion? If I don't think I'm dressed well enough, I'll leave. Who would like to come here?" Tong Yi rolled his eyes at Tong's father and turned around and walked out.
Tong Yi walked out with a little puppy in his arms, without any nostalgia.
Looking at Tong Yi who left resolutely, Tong's father had a headache. Why did he give birth to such an unfilial daughter?
Dad Tong said to Qian Yichen, "I lost my companion" and caught up with Tong Yi. Qian Yichen glanced at the father and daughter's leaving back and walked forward.
In the banquet hall, it was lively and illegal. Old Mrs. Tong sat high, smiling so hard that her mouth was not closed.
Next to her was a young man in his thirties. He had three-dimensional facial features, looked like he was mixed-race, with big round eyes, and looked gentle and kind.
Qian Yichen did not immediately walk towards the old lady, but instead took a drink from the tray in the hand of the waiter who was shuttled into the banquet hall and stood in a corner, and his eyes glanced at the door of the banquet hall from time to time.
"Here, that's the young master of the Tong family, Ye Qingyu, the director of TD Asia Pacific. I heard that he is the heir appointed by TD."
"Really?! He is not named Tong."
"But it's half a member of the Tong family."
"Don't Mr. Tong have a daughter? How could it be a foreign surname to inherit TD?"
There will be gossipers everywhere.
Qian Yichen was originally not interested in these gossips and wanted to walk away, but when he heard "Mr. Tong's daughter", he couldn't help but stand there.
He knew that a's original name was Tong Yi, and after Tong Yi went to Universe for the first time for a meeting, he found out.
The girl hid the identity of the eldest lady of the Tong family very deeply. Even Qian Yichen took a lot of effort to find out.
The outside world only knows TD's a, but not TD's Tong Yi.
"You don't know this. The old lady of Tong's family favors boys over girls. She gave birth to five daughters and got a son. Originally, the old lady expected Mr. Tong to give birth to a grandson for her, but Mr. Tong has only one daughter so far, and after his wife died of illness, she did not marry her again, which made the old lady so angry that she died of anger.
Later, the old lady found out that this nephew was good, so she took him to her side as her heir to train him.”
The person who spoke was reasonable and well-founded, and seemed to be a distant relative of the Tong family.
Qian Yichen raised his eyebrows slightly. It was an era in which there were people who favored boys over girls. In his family, he was the first to disagree.
Girls just need to be raised in wealth, just like Zhenzhen in his family.
Qian Yichen was not interested in listening to the following words.
He glanced at the time, and he was about to say hello to the old lady and leave. He was going to return to China the day after tomorrow, and he still had a lot to arrange.
Qian Yichen walked up to Mrs. Tong and said a few polite words of blessing.
Old Mrs. Tong said amiably, "It turns out that Qian is so young. I heard that you started from scratch, it's really not easy." The old lady patted the shoulder of the young man beside her and said, "This is my nephew, Ye Qingyu. If Qian needs any help, please contact him."
Qian Yichen responded expressionlessly. Even if he hadn't heard those gossips before, just by these few words, his impression of the old lady was greatly reduced.
He now understands why Tong Yi is unwilling to come back. This old lady is really hard to describe.
Those around who recognized Qian Yichen all looked at Old Lady Tong with strange eyes.
How could the president of Universe need the help of a TD Asia Pacific director? In turn, it is almost the same. This old lady is old and has no idea what she is.
Ye Qingyu stood up and reached out to Qian Yichen and said, "Mr. Qian, if you have the opportunity to return to China, you can contact me at any time."
Qian Yichen glanced at Ye Qingyu's hand and sneered in his heart.
He really treated himself as someone, it was indeed cultivated by Mrs. Tong. The gaze that was superior to everyone was exactly the same.
TD company was founded by Tong's grandfather, but it was only developed by Tong's father. In China, the Tong family is considered a wealthy family, but compared with ancient families like the Song family, it is still a bit worse.
Qian Yichen didn't even take the Song family seriously. Song Xingzhou followed his command, how could he fall in love with this young master of the Tong family?
Putting his hand into his pocket of his trousers, Qian Yichen looked at Ye Qingyu with a smile.
Seeing that Qian Yichen had no intention of shaking hands with him, Ye Qingyu's hands hanging in the air were a little stiff, and his eyes flashed with annoyance.
The smile on the old lady Tong's face also faded a little. In her opinion, the person who started from scratch was just a nouveau riche and could not be compared with a big family like their Tong family.
Many people discovered the situation here. They did not stare at it blatantly, but looked here from time to time.
Feeling the eyes of the people around him, Ye Qingyu's face became worse and worse, and no one has ever given him such a shame.
Just as Ye Qingyu was about to break out, Tong's father pulled Tong Yi, who looked reluctant, and walked over.
"Mother, Xiao Yi is here." Dad Tong said to Mrs. Tong with a smile on his face.
Tong Yi's hoodie hat had been taken off by Tong's father, and a baby stood in front of Mrs. Tong with expressionless face.
Only the little puppy in her arms looked around curiously.
Old Mrs. Tong glanced at Tong Yi coldly, and she frowned and said, "How old is she, she is still dressed like this. I don't have such an ill-polite granddaughter."
