Lai Mu took a look, sneered and shook his head, not really caring, "These don't seem to have anything to do with us."

"Of course, but... who do you think had someone stop you at the door?"

Junko Kanemiya turned her head and looked at him meaningfully.

"The head of the family is about to abdicate, and the head of the family's eldest son fell ill not long ago. The fight between these two people has gradually become more intense in recent days."

Since Old Yingtian is already 90 years old, his eldest son must be around 70 years old as well. He has been the 'crown prince' for decades... His current physical condition is even worse than Old Yingtian's. It is hard to say which of these two old men will outlast the other first.

"The Ying Tianqin who stopped you at the door earlier was instigated and abandoned... According to the original development, some people hiding around him would push the incident to an extreme and cause irreparable harm to Miss Alice..."

Jin Gongjunzi's steps suddenly paused, and a trace of murderous intent flashed in her eyes. "Then, they will guide the head of the family to vent his anger on the other party, so as to cut off the possibility of the other party succeeding to the throne."

The so-called irreversible is just a euphemism. How much more extreme would one have to go to provoke Old Yingtian's anger? One could imagine it to be cruel.

Lai Mu was a little surprised at first. It turned out that both sides had the same plan?

After being surprised, he frowned again, and murderous thoughts arose in his heart... Alice was no different from his Achilles' heel. Even though he knew that basically no one here could hurt her, he still felt very unhappy.

A slender hand tugged at the corner of Lai Mu's clothes, and Alice suddenly leaned close to his ear and whispered something very calmly. She seemed to have her own thoughts on the fact that she was being plotted against.

Lai Mu nodded, took out a finger-sized tube of light green liquid from somewhere, and handed it to Alice.

Jin Gongjunzi just watched and didn't ask any questions. She warned the two people according to her own thoughts, "In short, you need to be careful and pay attention. Don't contact anyone in the family easily, and don't believe anything they say."

"Yes, I understand Aunt Junko."

"I know, Auntie."

snort!

Junko Kanemiya had a wooden face and turned around to continue leading the way... She was very angry, but she couldn't show it, at these two guys!

Am I that old!

……

The three of them continued walking forward and stopped at the second seat under the main seat, where Lai Mu and Alice sat down.

The head maid found an inconspicuous corner and stood there like a soulless puppet, but her eyes swept across the entire room, and everyone's every move was in her eyes.

……

Those two people are actually sitting in the second seat. Where did they come from?

I don't know him, he looks unusual...

As expected, she is favored by the master! Who can guarantee that she won't...

I don’t think I’ve seen him in the circle. Do you want to go up and get in touch with him?

……

Because of the seating situation, many people who noticed Lai Mu and the other person, both inside and outside the family, couldn't help but let their imagination run wild.

Extra 54. Alice Chapter-16-Delicious Food

Traditionally, the atmosphere at Japanese banquets is quite serious. No matter it is a wedding or funeral, or an ordinary banquet, they pay great attention to the distinction between the upper and lower levels, and the order of respect and hierarchy.

But this is the 21st century after all, and the guests present come from all corners of the world, with skin colors ranging from black, white, yellow, and brown. It would naturally be inappropriate to use the old traditional methods.

In addition to the seats being roughly divided according to closeness and status, the atmosphere in the entire banquet hall was relatively relaxed, and people could talk and walk freely.

The main table was still empty for the time being, as Old Yingtian was still meeting with various dignitaries who came to visit him privately, but in fact the banquet table was already filled with all kinds of delicious food.

Few people just start eating.

They would rather take a sip of wine from a small glass and talk to the people around them, rather than even look at the gorgeous and enchanting sea cucumbers, sushi, salmon, lily and osmanthus soup, roast beef, matsutake soup, steamed trout... that are right in front of them.

It’s simply a crime!

How can we let down this delicious, juicy meat and this smooth and tasty soup?

With tears in his eyes, Slime began to eat the delicacies in front of him one by one. His posture was elegant but his speed was inhuman. He finished three or four dishes unknowingly.

After eating the food nearby, Lai Mu began to reach out for the lily and osmanthus soup on the opposite side, which was a little far away.

The little hand stretched out hard, and tried harder, just a little bit more... It was almost there, it was about to reach it!

Enough, enough...

A slender hand passed over Lai Mu's fingertips, brought a whole bowl of lily and osmanthus soup to Lai Mu, and considerately scooped half a bowl for him.

Lai Mu looked back and met Alice's doting gaze. Her lake blue eyes were fixed on him without blinking.

The woman supported her face with her slender hand that she had just retracted, tilted her head, and smiled softly... This smile seemed to have no meaning.

Well--

Slime frowned. Did she think I was a greedy child?

I'm not a child! I want to reason with her...

Steam rose from the soup in the bowl, and the faint fragrance blended into Lai Mu's nostrils, hooking away Slime's soul.

...Forget it, let’s eat it first. It won’t taste good if it gets cold.

Unknowingly, Slime had eaten most of the food on his table, leaving many empty plates and soup bowls.

Fortunately, the tables at the banquet all had four seats, and the side towards the middle was still empty. There were only Alice and Lai Mu at the entire table.

Although she still inevitably attracted some looks of "good-for-nothing", anyone who looked at her would soon be impressed by her extraordinary beauty.

Compared to the stunning beauty that looks like an angel or an elf, what's wrong with eating a little?

It’s so cute!

Just like a cat owner, would he dislike a pig for eating too much? Of course not!

The waiter in white saw this and came over to take away all the empty plates. After a while, he replaced them with a table full of delicious food. How thoughtful.

……

Finally, the protagonist of the banquet arrived late, and several people surrounded Hiroshige Yingtian and walked out.

The old man changed into a black Zhongshan suit. Although his hair was gray, he stood straight and looked energetic. His bright eyes scanned the entire audience, and he was amiable yet dignified.

"Thank you all for coming here today..."

Needless to say, all that rambling formality was unnecessary. Mr. Ying Tanaka finished his speech with great energy, went through the formalities, and everyone gave him a warm round of applause, and then the banquet officially began.

The old man sat down on the main seat and looked at Alice and the other person who were sitting not far from him. He smiled and nodded, telling them to relax a little and enjoy their meal.

Noticing that there were a lot of crab shells piled in front of Lai Mu, the old man reached out and picked up a whole plate of braised hairy crabs on his table and handed it to him.

"Eat more if you like. If you don't like it, there's more."

The big red crab was shiny and glossy, each shell exuded an attractive color, and the big claws were cut open to reveal the tender and soft meat...

Lai Mu raised her head and smiled sweetly, her voice clear and crisp, "Thank you, Grandpa Zeng."

The old man nodded gently, and the rare kindness on his face surprised everyone around him.

……

The old man was a shrewd man who had lived for nearly a century. After meeting them, how could he not see that there was some strange relationship between Alice and Lai Mu?

No matter the look in their faces or their eyes, they couldn't be just ordinary friends.

Although it is a little hard to accept that the great-granddaughter has found a girlfriend, the old man can only choose to give his blessings.

As long as the children can live happily, let them do whatever they want.

Although he thought so in his heart, looking at the two lilies pressed closely together, Hiroshige Yingtian still let out a long sigh.

After the banquet officially started, people came forward one after another and presented Yingtian Hiroshige with the gifts they had prepared.

Giving gifts is a very traditional activity, and this custom exists in both the East and the West. People in the East are more reserved, and often open gifts in private after receiving them; people in the West are more open, and like to look at the gifts in person and give praises... Of course, now that global cultures are gradually merging, anything is acceptable.

As for gifts between families or between forces, there will naturally be a dedicated person to be responsible for receiving and managing them. This will be more formal and serious, and a list of gifts will be announced later to demonstrate the friendly and cooperative stance of both parties to the outside world.

Some younger generations and close people will choose to present gifts in person at the banquet, which is more intimate and also a way to create a good atmosphere.

Especially when the gifts are opened on the spot, the glittering and sparkling jewelry or the elegant and exquisite works of art will attract all eyes, ignite the whole audience and push the atmosphere to a climax.

At the front, a middle-aged man in a white suit stood up and walked to the main table with a beautifully packaged box. His steps were leisurely, as if he was taking a leisurely stroll in the garden.

The middle-aged man bowed respectfully to Hiroshige Eida, with a polite smile typical of Japan on his face, "Old man, long time no see, you are still as healthy and strong as ever!"

"Ahahaha, it's Xiaoyi. When I saw the list this morning, I was a little surprised. I didn't expect you to really come..."

Yingtian Hiroshige smiled brightly, and his eyes seemed to be quite relieved.

Koichi?

When Alice heard the name, she looked up in surprise.

Is that the one named Koichi Takeyoshi?

"you know?"

Lai Mu moved his lips, and the sound was transmitted directly to Alice's ears through magic elements.

"Well, if it's him... he might be the one my father robbed of his marriage..."

Alice pressed her red lips with her teeth, her expression indescribably weird... Is this her mother's ex-fiancé?

What should I call him... He probably doesn't recognize himself?

Alice followed Lai Mu's example and also used magic elements to communicate secretly.
