Chapter 44 Pitiful Guilan Huang

It's 11 o'clock in the morning in Huang's house. It was particularly busy today in the house with the past depression completely gone. With the Huang family flourishing, the house was renovated and remolded, turning more prosperous. As Huang family prospered, the people also thrived. Even the extremely distant relatives began to fraternize now. The Huang family had already become a large family. Ping'an Huang, as the head of the Huang family, played a meritorious role in it, who led the heirs to promote the Huang family's development. Witnessing its change from decline to prosperity, the Huang family members were all grateful to him with great admiration. It was the 70th birthday of the old man today. The Huang family attached great importance to it, which was a big day for them to show the prosperity of the Huang family. Therefore, the entire family spared no effort in preparing for it. The house was everywhere festooned with two reds "Long Life", effusing happiness and boisterousness where all the people were busy around preparing. On such a day, almost no one of the Huang family would be absent. No matter where they worked or lived, they all hurried over early today. Ping'an, the protagonist in the birthday party, was dressed in a red costume full of happiness, looking hale and healthy. In the house, Ping'an s three sons were accompanying him. "Is there any news about Jenny?" Ping'an looked serious without any joy on his face. On such an important day for him, he should have enjoyed it. But because of Jenny, he always felt so uncomfortable that he really hated this granddaughter. It was Jenny who caused Ping'an to have offended Jingming Zhang instead of pleasing him. In this case, Jingming would perhaps trouble the Huang family if Jenny was still missing, not to mention getting a huge loan. Hearing what Ping'an said, Ye Huang stood out and replied to Ping'an, "There is no result yet though I've asked people to search around even the whole Westplain City. I don't know where she is. " Ye was his eldest son, the heir to the Huang family, who had been in charge of many affairs since Ping'an had aged. Ping'an said angrily, "What an unfilial daughter! What a jinx." The second son, Yan, gritted his teeth and said sternly, “Once I find her, I'll kill her.” Yan had no ability but good at fighting, a well-known boor. "Well, Dad, today is your birthday. It is a happy day. There is no need to worry about it all the time. Many relatives outside were waiting for us!" Jian, the third son, counseled. Ping'an nodded and solemnly said, "Everybody, cheer up and let the birthday feast begin." After that, several people went out of the back room together. Ping'an came to the banquet hall of the main house. The members of the Huang family gathered together to congratulate him. Ping'an also greeted them with a huge smile. "Where is Jenny? Who has seen my sweet-heart Jenny?" Breaking such a harmonious aura, a woman with disheveled hair suddenly rushed to the hall and asked whoever she saw. The woman was Guilan Huang. Guilan had not slept in two days. She had regretted. She began to regret when Jenny rushed out of the Huang villa. Jenny was her daughter, the only one she could count on all her life. During these years, Jenny supported the family alone, working hard without any complaint, who was extremely tolerant of her mother even if her mother playing cards and losing money everyday. Jenny was really a good daughter while she chose to betray his daughter for their so-called future, losing her head under her father's forcing and bribing. Guilan could imagine how disappointed Jenny would be. It was her who forced Jenny to leave in despair. Guilan was so regretful and fearful that she looked round for Jenny anxiously from Jiangzhou to Westplain since couldn't get through to Jenny after Jenny left. It turned out to be no tracks of her. Guilan had gone to report her missing. But Jenny had not been missing for over 48 hours, so the case could not be accepted at all. Guilan was really helpless and panicked and almost collapsed. She was really afraid to lose her only daughter. She went mad, exclaiming and shouting everywhere. No result outside, she returned to the Huang villa to look for her daughter. At this moment, Guilan looked like a beggar, smelling badly, whose rich-lady temperament had thoroughly gone. Seeing such a smelly beggar appearing, the people present all stepped back to keep away from her, fearing that her bad luck would rub off on them. "Who allows you to make noise here?" Ping'an stared at Guilan, speaking coldly. His words sobered such a mad woman up instantly. She suddenly opened her eyes and rushed toward Ping'an, praying painfully, "Dad, please, I don't want a house, I don't want you to find a job for me any more. I only want my daughter! Please give Jenny back to me. " Pah! Ping'an slapped Guilan in the face heavily, shouting at her, "What are you crazy for? Once I find your daughter, I must tie her up and send to President Zhang. " Guilan knelt in front of Ping'an, choking with tears, "Dad, Jenny is my only daughter. I can't watch her in trouble. She is your granddaughter. Could you please ask Mr. Zhang if he has gotten Jenny? " That Jingming was beaten by Andy to forcibly kneel down and kowtow was extremely a shame for Jingming. Of course it was impossible for him to tell such a thing to others including the Huang family. To the Huang family, Jingming must be grudging for being hurt by Jenny. Now, Ping'an became more annoyed. He kicked on Guilan and yelled angrily, "Do you know how many troubles Jenny has caused on me? She hit President Zhang and got the whole family involved. She is not my grand-daughter. Such an unfilial woman does not worthy of my care even if she dies outside. " "Dad, don't talk nonsense with her. Guests are coming soon. Such a mad woman staying here is just a shame on our family. Drive her out!" Ye could not stand her making trouble on such a happy day, which caused him upset to kick her out immediately. "Yeah, what a mad woman. Others would laugh at us." "That's it. Our guests would think a beggar is in the house!" "She is a bane. There is no luck as long as she appears. What an eyesore. Let her out now." The others of the Huang family also began to scold Guilan and stay away from her, regarding her as a bane. For Ping'an, the face of the family matters most, not mention to this special day. He never allowed Guilan to humiliate the Huang family. So he had to drive her out before the guests arrived. He shouted at Guilan coldly, "Get out of here!" Guilan shook her head and insisted, "No. I'll stay here waiting for my daughter. She knows I am here. She will come back to find me." Ping'an was more upset. He worried that even if she was kicked out, she would continue to stick madly, which would indeed bother the guests to the birthday feast. Thinking of this, Ping'an immediately ordered, "Come and shut her into the wood shed." It was an old mansion with a wood shed in the back, which was dilapidated since firewood had been abandoned. The Huang family did not remould it but used as a jail to punish servants that make mistakes. To Ping'an, Guilan was even inferior to a servant. He never pulled his punches to treat his mad daughter. "No, no! I must stay here to wait for my daughter." Guilan was desperate and didn't want to be kicked out or shut into the wood shed. However, no one in this house would listen to Guilan. Two men were immediately ordered to snatch her up regardless of her resistance, and left. "It's finally quiet." Seeing her out, Guilan's sister-in-law, Ping Luo said in relief. "Okay, everybody get ready to greet the guests." Ping'an said solemnly. Then Ping'an sat at the table just as an emperor did. Others also began to take action. "Man Jiang, the boss of Wufu Jewelry Store, comes to congratulate!" Man was a veritable rich lady as the boss of Wufu Jewelry, which had many branches in Jiangzhou City. Man had some dealings with Huang family. This time on Mr. Huang's birthday, Man, together with her boyfriend Fugui Zhu, specifically came over to congratulate. Fugui was over ten years younger than Man. But he didn't care because Man was rich. To him, money and power were his favorites and relying on women to be superior was also a strategy. He enjoyed the upper class life and the feeling of being wealthy. Today to attend the birthday feast of Huang family, he specially dressed up, not looking like a rustic boy at all. Fugui followed Man into the banquet hall. "Patriarch Huang, god bless you bounty happiness and longevity of Methuselah." Man walked to Ping'an and sent her gift. Ping'an smiled and said, "Thank you for your thoughtful gift." The glorious moment came after Man when distinguished guests arrived to congratulate one after another. These distinguished guests were either business elites or big bosses. Among the ordinary bosses worth millions of dollars, there were many worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions. The Huang family finally made a turnaround after years of decline. The treatment they enjoyed now differed greatly from that of the past. Seeing such an unprecedented scene, all the Huang family grinned from ear to ear happily and proudly. That so many people coming to congratulate the old man was enough to show that the Huang family had become powerful to some extent. "Happy birthday to the old man." "Wish you long life." "Wish you good health." Various blessings filled the banquet hall. Ping'an smiled happily seeing the bosses present one after another. He knew many guests would come. But the distinguished guests here were indeed beyond his expectation. It was already a surprise to him. At twelve at noon, the guests had almost arrived. The large banquet hall was full of guests and happiness. Seeing the scene, Ping'an felt very happy that the Huang family finally got its glory under his leadership. "Andy Wu, Jenny Xia, came to congratulate." As the Huang family enjoyed the excitement, the greeter suddenly yelled.
