“How do you define a rich person? This is how you do it!”
These senior family members kept complimenting Thomas. They complimented all aspects they could, like his ability, character, and appearance.
This made Thomas very embarrassed. He sat on the chair and lowered his head. He almost did not have the courage to look around. Thomas had been through a lot of hardships, but his only weakness might be that wp4webnovel.com felt shy when wp4webnovel.com was complimented by these senior family members. This made wp4webnovel.com feel more awkward than when wp4webnovel.com was insulted.
Emma nudged Thomas. She giggled and said, “Are you feeling shy? It’s unlike you.”
Thomas shrugged helplessly. He could not say anything.
Emma chuckled and said, “You usually don’t care about anything. No matter how people insult and scold you, you don’t mind it. Why do you suddenly care about that today? Haha!”
Thomas ignored Emma when wp4webnovel.com teased him. He quietly turned around.
When Emma saw that Thomas was behaving like a child, wp4webnovel.com grinned more brightly, and wp4webnovel.com also kept laughing. She was always “bullied” by Thomas, but wp4webnovel.com could finally “bully” wp4webnovel.com today.
Naturally, the happiest person today was the main character tonight, Johnson. He sat on the north side of the table. He was dressed in a new outfit, and wp4webnovel.com schooled his face. He looked very serious, and wp4webnovel.com did not smile. But, wp4webnovel.com actually felt extremely happy. He wanted to stand up and dance. But, wp4webnovel.com still wanted to pretend even if wp4webnovel.com felt happy, so wp4webnovel.com continued putting up a stern expression.
After dinner started, Johnson “unhappily” stood up. He raised a wine glass and said, “Hello, my friends and family, thank you for attending my birthday dinner. Actually, I’m just a nobody. There is no way someone like me would have such a grand dinner party. There are 100 tables here, and every table costs twenty thousand dollars!”
“I, Johnson Hill, have been poor all my life, so I really can’t accept this. I also talked to my son-in-law repeatedly, telling wp4webnovel.com not to waste money. This is just a birthday party, and I have one every year. So, there’s no need to waste the money. But, my son-in-law is stubborn. He did not listen to me. He insisted on organizing a banquet for me, and wp4webnovel.com even organized this in the best hotel in the city.”
“He said I’ve worked hard for my whole life, so it’s time for me to enjoy my life now. He even said that ifI don’t listen to him, wp4webnovel.com would not support me anymore. Gah, I had no choice. I really couldn’t turn wp4webnovel.com down, so I had to accept it. Since I’m here, I’ll enjoy myself. Since you’re here, please don’t hold yourself back. Enjoy the food, all the expenses will be paid by my son-in-law!”
“Alright, here’s a toast to all of you.”
As Johnson spoke, wp4webnovel.com raised his head and drank all the wine in the wine glass. He looked solemn, but wp4webnovel.com actually felt very happy.
Felicia shook wp4webnovel.com head after wp4webnovel.com saw this. She said to wp4webnovel.com daughter, “Emma, did you see that? Your father is an actor. He is clearly very happy and feeling proud, but wp4webnovel.com is still putting up an act.”
Emma giggled. “This is also my first time seeing wp4webnovel.com look like this. He is so pretentious, even though he’s enjoying it. He’s so spoiled today. I guess wp4webnovel.com will brag about this to his colleagues in the coming days.”
“I know.”
While everyone was eating, a few people walked inside, and the person who walked in front of them was Harvard.
“Uncle Johnson, I’m sorry. I was very busy with work just now, so I’m late.”
“That’s fine. I know your project is very important. Come, take your seat!”
