Open-air seating.

Those who came were all friends, including Karen Cyrus, a total of seven people.

In addition to Shafiq and Lillian, there are three others, Kamran, Feride and a petite and cute girl, Mamie Hardy.

Leonida Benz has an impression of these people. Kamran is the one with the most background among them. Compared with Shafiq, he is a rich man in the true sense.

"Mr. Kamran, why have you made a fortune recently? When can you support your brothers? Haha."Shafiq said haha.

Kamran took a sip of the drink and said with a smile, "You guys are so useless to support me. You are your own boss. I don't have your ability."

"Just kidding, kidding."Shafiq waved his hands in amusement.

Mamie Hardy, who was sitting next to Leonida Benz , stared at Leonida Benz like a curious baby, "Hey, Leonida Benz, do you think it's been a long time since we last met?"

Leonida Benz shrugged and smiled, "It's been a while."

Isn't it a long time after a thousand years?

"You're still so boring."Mamie Hardy blinked her eyes.

Leonida Benz just smiled casually and didn't say anything.

"I just said it looked familiar, Leonida Benz, it turned out to be you."

As a rich young man, he came into contact with a completely different circle. Even though he was not as radical as Shafiq, Kamran still had some disdain for Leonida Benz.

Feride, on the other hand, added with a smile, "You were the most powerful when I was in school, where is Leonida Benz now?"

"High job?"

Before Leonida Benz could speak, Shafiq looked disdainful, "Look at what he's wearing, where do you think he should be promoted?"

Thinking of what happened just now, Shafiq felt very unhappy.

Which man these days doesn't have any romantic affairs, would he tell Karen Cyrus that he was infected with the disease in front of her, what would she think?

Damn you, this grandson is deliberately trying to undermine me, just wait.

"Shafiq, don't judge people by their appearance. Take it easy, or you'll get slapped on the face, haha."Feride laughed.

Lillian immediately smiled and said, "That's right, maybe Chen Daba is really doing well, and we all misjudged him. He is just keeping a low profile."

"I was wrong. I'm just straight-talking and honest. The boss must not be like scum like us."

Shafiq was smiling and cursing in his heart.

"Speaking of Leonida Benz, you are not married, are you? You are such a thrifty family man."Lillian deliberately glanced at Leonida Benz's clothes.

Raise a glass and drink water.

Leonida Benz said calmly, "Is there a problem?"

"I'm just out of curiosity. You were so introverted when you were in school. If you really get married, you won't be a soft-eared person."

Seizing the opportunity, Lillian would naturally not let it go.

I came to attend a classmate's birthday party, and I didn't pay attention to my image. I was either holding silk in my mouth or a coward who was afraid of his wife.

Shafiq waved his hand and complained deliberately, "Lillian, don't say that. There is nothing soft-hearted these days. That is respect and true love."

"Actually, eating soft food is also a skill. Speaking of Leonida Benz, do you usually get whipped with wax? Today's rich women like that kind of style."

Feride held a cigarette in his mouth, tilted his head and nodded. In one sentence, he classified Leonida Benz as a person like Brother Duck.

Suddenly, there was laughter.

There were only two people who didn't smile, one was Karen Cyrus and the other was Mamie Hardy.

Leonida Benz glanced at Feride, "You are so familiar with it, have you tried it?"

"You!"Feride expression changed slightly.

"Hey, we are all old classmates. As for being so shady, no matter how good or bad we are, the friendship between us as classmates is not fake."

Mamie Hardy looks petite and cute, but has a strong personality.

What's wrong with having money and background? What bothers her most is this kind of self-righteous and contemptuous attitude.

"Mamie, if you defend Leonida Benz like this, you must be interested in him,"Lillian said deliberately.

Mamie Hardy was not a light-hearted person either. He rolled his eyes at Lillian and said, "It's none of your business."

"It's none of my business, just say it casually. Leonida Benz, I think Mamie is really good. If you break up and get along with Mamie, maybe it will become a good story."

"I'm sick."Mamie Hardy glanced away coldly.

Lillian narrowed her eyes, "Why, you can't even make a joke?"

The atmosphere suddenly became a little tense.

The most embarrassing thing is naturally Karen Cyrus. Today is her birthday, and all the people who can come are her friends. It's hard to be a good person in the middle.

Seeing that Karen Cyrus expression was wrong, Kamran tried to smooth things over, "Okay, just stop saying a few words. It won't be good if Karen angry in a while."

As he said that, Kamran took out a box from the side and said with a smile, "Karen, I found this gadget very interesting during my last trip. I hope you like it. Happy birthday."

With Kamran at the beginning, Feride and Mamie Hardy all brought out their own gifts.

It doesn't matter whether it's valuable or not, what matters is the heart.

"Thank you."Karen Cyrus was very happy.

Lillian also took out a ticket from her LV bag and raised it, "Dang Dang Dang, your favorite person is coming to Jiangning for a tour, Nizi, I think that's interesting."

"Ah! It's Nicola's concert, thank you."Karen Cyrus was so excited.

At this time, Lillian quickly glanced at Shafiq.

Shafiq Tao understood and took out the carefully prepared gift, "Karen, happy birthday."

Lillian, who had quick eyes and quick hands, grabbed it and said slyly, "Hey, let's see what kind of gift it is."

Opening the box, there was a platinum necklace lying inside, crystal clear and dazzling.

Lillian pouted, "Oh my god, you're so beautiful. Karen, I'm starting to be jealous of you. Hey, Shafiq, this necklace costs tens of thousands."

"This...my intention has nothing to do with money."Shafiq glanced at Karen Cyrus's reaction from the corner of his eye.

Women all like jewelry, and he doesn't believe that Karen Cyrus is not tempted at all.

Everyone knew Shafiq's feelings for Karen Cyrus. For him who was not short of money, spending tens of thousands of dollars to win a beauty's smile was nothing at all.

"This is too expensive, I can't have it."Karen Cyrus was not stupid.

He originally didn't have that intention for Shafiq, but accepting this valuable necklace gave him hope that it would be more troublesome in the future.

Besides, she is by no means a money-worshiping girl.

"Karen, this is my wish. If you accept all theirs but not mine, do you think you are not my classmate?"

Shafiq is not an idiot. When chasing a girl, you should not be in a hurry.

"This..."Karen Cyrus was embarrassed.

At this time, Kamran smiled and said, "Karen, just accept it. We are all classmates, we don't care about that."

Everyone gave gifts, but Leonida Benz was the only one who didn't move.

Lillian leaned on her seat and glanced at Leonida Benz, "Hey, itKaren birthday, why don't you express your gratitude?"

"I forgot."

"Forgot? Hahaha, you shouldn't be short of money. You won't spend it all on tonics."Feride said with interest.

Lillian clicked her tongue and said, "These people are really..."

"Sorry, I really forgot to prepare."

Leonida Benz looked at Karen Cyrus apologetically, touched his body, and took out a string of wooden bracelets, "Little gadgets, don't dislike them."

"Thank you, I like it very much."Karen Cyrus took the wooden bracelet.

Seeing the worn wooden bracelet, Shafiq and others almost laughed.

"Oh, Leonida Benz, the workmanship is pretty good."

"Hahaha, Leonida Benz, your bracelet is really unique."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this shouldn't be an antique, buddy, it turns out you are a real rich man who can't be offended."

Leonida Benz smiled and said nothing at the ridicule of several people.

Karen Cyrus glanced at Leonida Benz secretly, but hesitated to speak.

But, right now.

A middle-aged man in his forties or fifties came out of the inner hall and nodded politely to everyone.

"Hello, miss, can you let me see your bracelet?" Then, the middle-aged man looked at Karen Cyrus.

"This is...ok."

The moment he took it, the middle-aged man's heart suddenly trembled, and then he returned the bracelet to Karen Cyrus.

"Miss, I wonder if you can give it to me. As compensation, I will pay one million."

A million, a beat-up wooden bracelet?

At this moment, even Kamran was stunned, and everyone else was stunned.
