Chapter 2768: Addicted to painting as much as life
Ke Yu took this opportunity to hold Lin Ran's hand and said, "Xiao Ran, let's go in first and leave this silly guy alone."
"Yes, yes, but Miss Ke..." Lin Ran decided to clarify the matter again, "I already have a girlfriend."
How could Lin Ran not know what Ke Yu meant? He just doted on this little girl, as long as he was sure of it.
Today is different. There must be someone from the Ke family present. If they misunderstand, they will be in trouble.
Even though not all of the people sitting in the hall are from the Ke family, you can feel from the eyes of these rich young men who have been glued to Ke Yu that if they act too ambiguous, it will be difficult for others to know.
After going through the test of life and death, Lin Ran had thought clearly.
In fact, he does not lack love. He has parents, a sister, various good friends, and Yuan Qianyun.
Lin Ran would never forget the promise they made.
I came to the Ke family gathering today to make things clear. They are just partners and can even become good friends.
But that's all.
Lin Ran spoke very directly. Ke Yu's eyes instantly dimmed a lot, and his face looked a little sad.
Ke Hui frowned, as if he had forgotten that he had just finished arguing with Ke Yu.
"Okay, we are good friends!" Ke Hui stood between the two of them and put his hands on their shoulders.
"Yeah." Ke Yu lowered his head and said.
"Lin Ran, grandpa must be very happy that you can come today." Ke Hui quickly changed the subject.
"How did Mr. Ke know about me?" Lin Ran was dumbfounded. He had never even met such a legendary figure, but the other party invited him over for a dinner treat.
"Brother Lin, you are amazing." Ke Hui said, "Not only are you my savior, but you also saved the Ke family from fire and water. In addition, you also helped Xiao Yu deal with the troublesome Jin family... "
"The relationship between you and our family can no longer be described as a deep friendship."
"Today is actually grandpa's birthday party, not a formal birthday party."
"It's grandpa's wish to invite you to come over for dinner today."
Ke Hui explained.
Birthday banquets are usually only attended by relatives, so Lin Ran's identity was obviously inappropriate.
Today is just a birthday banquet, and he can attend it as a partner.
No longer mentioning the unhappy things, the three of them walked into the box together.
Lin Ran really thought it was a private room, but he didn't expect that it looked like a hall when he walked in.
This hotel is famous for its luxurious decoration.
As soon as I walked into the private room, I was blinded by the golden decoration that caught my eye.
Lin Ran finally realized what local gold is. With the blessing of lights, this place seemed to have turned into a golden ocean, immersed in a warm color.
Square tables of different sizes are placed at various locations in the hotel. On the tables are various delicacies and even champagne and red wine.
As expected of the Ke family, who often do business with foreigners, their banquet style is full of Western style, but it's a pity that it's a bit different.
"Brother Lin, if you want to eat anything, just take it yourself, you're welcome." Ke Hui said boldly.
The banquet has not officially started yet, and Mr. Ke seems to be receiving other guests.
Ke Hui planned to call grandpa over.
Originally, he wanted to keep Ke Yu here, but Ke Yu felt a little uncomfortable, so he followed Ke Hui and left.
Lin Ran was left alone at the banquet.
He found a seat and sat down. The decoration of this hotel was quite interesting. Lin Ran looked around to learn about the decoration style here.
Although based on his personal aesthetics, he would never make such a decoration.
However, where there is demand, there is color.
In this era, people generally still have a golden aesthetic and like gold-style decoration.
"You are really rich and rich." Lin Ran complained. The person who invented the term "rich money" is definitely a talent.
Lin Ran saw Lu Xiong again at this time.
Rikuo hooked up with a beautiful girl from somewhere and was holding her shoulders.
He didn't even see her when he got off the bus just now, and Lin Ran felt as if he had seen this girl in the lobby.
I couldn't help but admire Lu Xiong. He dared to poach someone directly in front of other rich second generations, and he succeeded in poaching him.
Riku Xiong walked directly towards the back table of the hotel, looking like a member of the Ke family.
Lin Ran didn't have much interest in Lu Xiong. He originally thought that it was just like what Ke Yu said, and he was just inviting him to dinner alone.
I didn't expect there to be so many people in the box.
Moreover, none of these people seem to be easy to take care of. They are either wearing gold and silver, or they are followed by bodyguards.
What kind of big shots are these days who can equip themselves with bodyguards?
Lin Ran had no interest in the wine on the table, so he called the hotel staff to make tea for him.
I have to say that the hotel's service attitude was quite good. A cup of sweet Pu'er tea was soon brought to Lin Ran.
Not long after, Ke Yu came back and sat down next to Lin Ran, but turned his face to the side, as if he didn't want to talk to Lin Ran.
Lin Ran asked: "Are these all your relatives?"
"No, there are still some from other families." Ke Yu replied.
"You are a wealthy family having a party. Why did you even call people from other families over?" Lin Ran was speechless. If he had known it was so lively, he would not have come.
The most annoying thing is attending various gatherings where the children of aristocratic families gather together, because apart from showing off and talking about business, they have nothing in common with me.
"You're here," Ke Yu said. She sighed. She originally wanted to take advantage of today's opportunity to introduce Lin Ran to her grandfather.
As a result, she was given a good guy card without even meeting her in person.
So much so that her current mood was quite bad.
"If you feel uncomfortable, go back first." Ke Yu sighed.
Lin Ran thought that he was here anyway, after all, he had never attended such a party before, so he just joined in the fun. "
As noon arrived, firecrackers sounded outside.
The private room also became very lively.
Because the protagonist of the party has already appeared.
Mr. Ke entered the box with the support of Ke Hui and Ke Yu.
Although he looked thin, he looked radiant in a Tang suit and his hair was neatly styled.
With the sound of firecrackers, the banquet officially kicked off.
According to the custom in the antique circle, this moment is the time to give gifts.
People came forward to offer their congratulatory gifts in an endless stream.
"Mr. Ke, I know you like calligraphy and painting very much. It took me a long time to find this landscape painting by Mr. Zhengyang. I hope you like it!"
"I have also prepared an authentic painting of Tang Yin. I hope you like it, old man."
"Look, the picture of longevity pine trees in Huangshan Mountain! I wish Mr. Ke that he will be as blessed as the East Sea and live longer than the Southern Mountains!"
