Landon Li cleared his throat and said, "Today, on my birthday banquet, I would like to introduce to you my granddaughter, who has been missing for more than twenty years. Now let's welcome her."
In rapturous applause, a woman in a court-style off-the-shoulder dress came out and amazed everyone.
In the live broadcast of the media, the camera was focused on the woman. Her slim and well-shaped body was tightly wrapped in a white lace fishtail dress.
The delicate lace fabric was inlaid with several plastic flowers. The soft gauze of the luxurious long train was also sewn with beautiful lace appliques. The pure handmade evening dress was a combination of oriental charm and western fantasy.
The woman had her long hair twisted on top and her ears decorated with delicate white flower earrings. Her face was covered with a light foundation makeup. Her eyelashes looked longer with mascara. And her lips were painted in rose red lipstick.
Her charming face resembled a dazzling and fragrant epiphyllum flower that was in full bloom.
When this fairy-like woman appeared, all the guests were enthralled.
Landon Li was satisfied with the amazement that his granddaughter brought to everyone. His granddaughter must be the best!
He spoke again, "This is my granddaughter, Lola Li. I would be grateful for your care for her!"
"Please don't stand on ceremony. It is our honor to do so."
"Yes, how I envy Harold having such a beautiful daughter!"
"She looks so much like the couple!"
Hearing all the praises, Landon Li laughed heartily. "Lola, say hi to everybody."
"Hello, everyone, I am Lola Li. I'm very glad to meet you. Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend my grandfather's birthday banquet. Thank you!" The woman bent slightly to thank the guests.
"Look, this should be the daughter of an eminent family! Generous and polite."
"Alas, Angie, your daughter is so excellent. I want to bear a daughter!" A comrade of Angie Gong cracked a joke and laughed.
"Ha, ha, ha!"
In the laughter, the Li family welcomed another distinguished guest.
"Mr. President!"
"Good evening, Mr. President!"
The sudden appearance of Thomas Herren attracted a host of greetings. He was the supreme power-holder of A Country. Landon Li was a man of great reputation. He had invited not only senior leaders of A Country's government, but also military leaders of armed forces. Now even President Herren, the leader of A Country, came to the banquet, which made everyone envious.
"President Herren, welcome!" Accompanied by Lola, Landon Li came to greet Thomas in person.
Lola had not seen Thomas for a few years, during which he had become more mature and experienced. She nodded slightly to greet him.
"Mr. Li is low-key usually. Now that you hold the birthday banquet this year, I should not miss the chance." Thomas asked his chauffeur to hand over the birthday gift he had brought. Lola accepted the gift for her grandfather.
