Chapter 856: Full of Hostility
The large ballroom is extraordinarily opulent, with delicate white palace lamps hanging from the clean white ceiling, with faintly twitching crystal tassels dangling from the lamps, against a floor of overlapping light and shadows, giving the room a misty trance-like feel.
Classical music plays unhurriedly in the hall.
The guests who came to the appointment were all rich and famous.
Noblewomen in bejewelled dresses, or gentlemanly men, elegant and lively celebrities, gathered to talk and buzz.
Dressed in a dark blue Tang suit and leaning on a dragon head cane, Master Khan stood at the entrance of the banquet hall to greet his guests, accompanied by Edgar.
The guests who came to the appointment gave their blessings to Master Khan.
"Happy birthday, Elder Fang."
"Old Master, may you be blessed with a long life as long as the East Sea..."
Master Khan didn't mince words and nodded with a smile to all those who wished him well.
"Thank you all for taking the time to come."
Edgar brought a cup of freshly brewed tea from the tray in the hands of the waiter beside him, and handed the cup to Master Khan while the wave of people had just entered. "Grandpa, have some tea to moisten your throat."
Master Khan nodded and accepted the cup of tea, taking a sip to moisten his throat before asking, "Ah Sum, when will Eloise and the girls arrive?"
"Grandpa, don't be in a hurry, your cousin will definitely come."
Before Edgar could finish his words, a 'ding' was heard.
The lift doors outside the ballroom doors slowly open.
The four members of the Eloise family were seen, coming out of the lift room.
"You see, Eloise is here, isn't she?"
Edgar spread his hands and looked at the few people walking towards him with a smile.
Eloise holds Solomon in one hand and Hector's arm in the other.
Sweety, on the other hand, was held in Hector's arms.
The family of four came to a halt in front of Master Khan.
Almost at that instant, the eyes of everyone in the ballroom gathered.
It's really the face of this family that is so good.
Rarely handsome, the female is delicate, the two munchkins have delicate features and are so soft that their hearts will melt.
With the addition of the father-son and mother-son outfits, it became very noticeable at once.
"Who is this family? All so good looking."
"Look at that little girl, so cute! Like a porcelain doll!"
There were murmurs floating out from the crowd.
As soon as Master Khan saw Eloise, the smile on his face deepened a few notches and his face was radiant, "Eloise, you're here!" "I've kept you waiting, Grandfather."
Eloise smiled, her hair falling from her ears in a lovely way.
She turned and lifted Sweety out of Hector's arms, then crouched down to take a small child in one hand.
Whispering in their ears, "This is your maternal great-grandfather, say hello!"
Solomon smiled and immediately looked up at the smiling and amiable Old Master Khan and said, "Grand Great Grandfather, Solomon wishes you good health and a long life!" The little one looked exceptionally cute with his little grown-up look and his generous gesture of birthday wishes.
Sweety's big soulful eyes dribbled around, and then milked her brother's voice and spoke, "Grand, grandfather, Sweety wishes you good health... long... a long life ..." The little girl's speech is not yet standard, milky and childish.
This naive and cute look instantly captured the old man's heart.
Master Khan couldn't keep the smile off his face for long, "Good, good!"
The fact that he said three good words in a row was proof of how good he was feeling right now.
"Grandfather is very happy to have you all here."
Master Khan bent down and stroked the heads of the two little ones.
He couldn't have been happier to see them both.
This is considered a descendant that carries part of his Khan family 's bloodline, can he not like it?
Eloise is equally proud to have two such delightful children.
She pointed to Edgar and spoke again to introduce the two little ones, "Solomon, Sweety, this is your uncle." "Hello uncle."
Solomon nods politely to Fabienne.
Sweety looked at Edgar and raised her little hand to cover her mouth with a cheeky smile.
"Uncle, you're so good-looking!"
It's not that Edgar had never been complimented before, but it was the first time he had been told by such a young girl that he looked good, so he was stunned for a moment. "Our Sweety is really a person with a Sweety mouth, as the name suggests."
Elder Fang laughed at once.
"Sweety is lovely too and Solomon knows his stuff."
Edgar laughed along with him, bending down to rub the cheeks of the two little ones.
Eloise's eyes were full of laughter as she straightened up and retook Hector's arm.
Zheng introduced him to Master Khan.
"Grandpa, this is Hector, the baby's father."
"Grandpa, first time meeting, may you share the sun and moon and the pines."
Hector has a light smile on his handsome face, a change from the coldness of his normal face.
He is a very good person in his own right and treats Master Khan so courteously.
Coupled with his dignified aura in the way he moved his hands, he immediately made Elder Fang feel very satisfied.
"I have long heard about the two sons of the Rogers family, one more remarkable than the other, and now that I have seen them, it is true."
It is rare for Elder Fang to speak out in praise of a person.
Hector's lips turned up a little, still wearing that gentle demeanour, and said in a warm and modest voice, "Grandfather has praised you."
Eloise's smile grew even bigger when she saw that her grandfather liked Hector.
The hand that held his arm was tightened a few notches, as if declaring sovereignty. "Well, don't just stand around here, Sam, take Eloise and the others inside first."
Master Khan was also pleased with Eloise's vision.
He didn't need to observe much, but when Hector looked at Eloise with the almost overflowing affection in his eyes, he understood that these two were truly in love. Edgar made a sound in response and then tentatively held out his hand to Solomon and Sweety, "Solomon, Sweety, come in with uncle?"
The two little ones didn't recognize each other either, pulling Edgar left and right as they responded, "Good."
Then before walking into the banquet hall, he also politely said to the other grandfather, "Grand great grandfather, we will see you later." "See you in a minute Grandfather!"
Edgar led Eloise into the ballroom with the two little beans in his hand.
The family of four had already attracted a lot of attention when they first arrived, and as they approached, those eyes immediately looked straight at them from all directions. Among them, not a few people were secretly gawking at them.
For one thing, the family of four is too much of an eye-catcher.
Secondly, of course, it was just now at the entrance of the banquet hall that they had a chat with Master Khan for a while.
This inevitably raises curiosity.
After all, Master Khan did not strike them as being much of an amiable old man.
Eloise is sensitive to this.
There was something hostile in these glances that surveyed them.
