Huo Bing invites Tang Xiaotian to attend her grandmother's birthday party.

  This surprised Tang Xiaotian, because he knew that He Bing's grandmother, Old Lady He, was a crucial figure in the He family, and most of the guests at her birthday banquet were dignitaries and celebrities from the political and business circles.

  But artists have never been there before, because in the eyes of the powerful, artists are similar to the former actors and do not count as guests.

  Huo Bing invited himself over, and Tang Xiao Tian was surprised, but also genuinely considered it, otherwise he would have become a laughing stock if he had gone.

  But after some thought, Tang Xiaotian still felt it was a good idea to go.

  Anyway, Huo Bing helped him a lot, and wishing Huo Bing's grandmother a happy birthday was also within the bounds of propriety.

  Tang Xiaotian agreed and then asked Huo Bing: "What gift should I bring for your grandmother?"

  "Just your presence is enough, no need to bring gifts, my grandmother just wants to see you."

  Tang Xiaotian's face turned red at these words, because it sounded like he was going to meet his parents or something, which made him feel rather embarrassed.

  "Does your grandma want to see me?"

  "Yes, you saved my life, of course she wants to meet you."

  It turned out to be the case, after hearing Huo Bing's words, Tang Xiao Tian finally let out a sigh of relief.

  "Alright, I'll definitely be there on time that day."

  After agreeing with Huo Bing, Tang Xiaotian began to prepare gifts for Old Lady Huo. Although Huo Bing said it wasn't necessary, what kind of logic is there in going to someone's birthday without bringing a gift?

  He doesn't care if others want it or not, but he definitely wants to give gifts.

  He didn't know what Mrs. Huo liked either, and he couldn't afford anything too expensive at the moment, so after some thought, he bought a wooden carving.

  The wooden carving is not very big, it's a carving of the three stars of good fortune, prosperity and longevity, and it only costs over 10,000 yuan. Giving this as a gift is purely for the sake of auspiciousness, this thing doesn't have any collectible value.

  After the gift was ready, Tang Xiaotian then waited for the birthday banquet day.

  Before long, it was Old Lady Huo's birthday.

  Because there were many guests at Mrs. Huo's birthday banquet, the venue was Bohai Hotel, the best hotel in Bohai City.

  Tang Xiaotian set out very early, but unexpectedly got stuck in traffic on the road. By the time he arrived at the hotel, it was already past 11 o'clock.

  At this time, many guests have arrived. He Bing saw that Tang Xiaotian had not yet arrived and was a bit anxious. She looked around the door and saw Tang Xiaotian's car. Suddenly, she was overjoyed and hurriedly waved her hand.

  Tang Xiaotian saw Huo Bing and then ran over with a gift.

  "Sorry, traffic jam on the road..."

  Tang Xiaotian was about to explain when Huo Bing interrupted him.

  "It's okay, you didn't come too late, I thought you weren't coming at all."

  "I don't dare."

  "Come on, I'll take you to see my grandma."

  When he heard that he still had to go see Old Lady Huo, Tang Xiaotian's heart started racing, and he felt that if one day he were to meet his in-laws, it would probably be like this.

  Huò Bīng pulled Táng Xiǎo Tiān's hand through the hotel lobby, where guests were gathered and chatting with each other. When they saw Huò Bīng pulling a young man's hand towards Old Lady Huò, they couldn't help but be shocked, followed by all sorts of speculations.

  "Has Miss Ho got a boyfriend?"

  "Look at that young man, he's indeed handsome, but somehow I feel like I've seen him somewhere before?"

  "The fiancé of Miss Ho must be from a remarkable background. Among several prominent families, why haven't I seen this person before?"

  "Oh, I remember now, he seems to be a singer, named Tang Xiaotian."

  "Is he an artist? Tsk tsk..."

  The guests were in an uproar when they found out Tang Xiaotian's identity, and couldn't help but be even more shocked. The young lady of the Huo family, how could she have a boyfriend who is an artist?

  Just then, a young man's face turned very pale, his eyes fixed on the hands of Huo Bing and Tang Xiao Tian, and his eyes were filled with anger.

  This young man is named Zhou Yu, a new rising star in the Zhou family in recent years. He has always admired Huo Bing and has been looking for opportunities to get in touch with him. However, he never thought that Huo Bing would actually hold hands with an artist and walk by like this?

  How can he bear it?

  But he was from a good family and had some reserve, even if he didn't like it, at this time he could only endure.

  ------------------

  Tang Xiaotian naturally didn't know about the things that happened behind his back, he was just hastily pulled by Huo Bing to a large hall inside, where many people were standing, all of whom had come to celebrate Old Lady Huo's birthday.

  In the front row sat a noblewoman, who was over 70 years old but still looked robust. Her demeanor and behavior showed her noble upbringing.

  The guests one by one presented their gifts, and after Mrs. Huo had looked at them, she immediately ordered someone to take them away and put them in storage.

  Each of these gifts could be said to be worth a city, with luxury goods and collectibles. Any one of them would be enough for an ordinary family to live comfortably for a lifetime. However, after Old Lady Huo saw them, she just casually told someone to put them away.

  For someone like her, no matter how precious something is, it's just a thing after all. It doesn't have any attraction to her, since she isn't lacking in these things anyway.

  After other guests presented their gifts one after another, Huo Bing pulled Tang Xiaotian forward: "Grandma, this is Tang Xiaotian."

  Tang Xiaotian was pulled to the front by Huo Bing, and the others' eyebrows slightly furrowed. Although they had never seen Tang Xiaotian before, this name still sounded familiar. An artist, what was he doing here?

  They're a bit weird, are they trying to get him to sing for entertainment?

  Just as they were wondering, Old Lady Huo, who had been sitting all along, suddenly lifted her buttocks off the chair and leaned forward, waving at Tang Xiaotian: "Come on, let Grandma take a look..."

  Old Mrs. Huo was delighted, this delight was different from her previous attitude towards people and things, the smile of dealing with people and things was put on, but this smile came from the heart.

  Everyone looked at each other in confusion, really couldn't understand why an artist would make Old Lady Huo react like this?

  It was just Old Lady Huo who said that, but Tang Xiaotian hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether he should go forward or not, after all, he felt it was quite embarrassing.

  But just as Tang Xiaotian was about to hesitate, he was pushed by Huo Bing. Tang Xiaotian had no choice but to move forward and come before Old Lady Huo, then handed over the gift.

  "A gift for grandma, wishing her a happy new year every year and a bright future."

  Mrs. Huo took the gift and held it in her hand, smiling: "Your mouth is still quite sweet." As she opened it to take a look, she saw that it was a wooden carving, carved with the three auspicious stars of Fu, Lu, and Shou reporting good fortune, and the workmanship was very good, but the price was not so great.

  Old Lady Huo looked at it and didn't show any dislike. She said: "Good, good, you have a kind heart, Grandma likes it."

  The value of the gift doesn't matter to Old Lady Huo, as long as it's meaningful. Other people's gifts may be expensive, but in this situation, they're not particularly suitable either.
