At this moment, a voice came from outside. The voice was not very recognizable but it had some excitement in it.

“Elder Lin,” Huang Ting shouted from the doorway.

At the same time, Huang Yun Ge looked at all these uncles and aunties and felt a little helpless inside. To him, they were all peasants so his dad was going to be in for some trouble.

Lin Fan’s father abruptly looked towards the door. When he saw the man, who had a little bit of a plump face, had his hair combed back, and was a little short in stature, he immediately said with astonishment, “Wow, Elder Ting! Even you have come. It seems like we are at full strength right now.”

“Haha,” Huang Ting laughed. “It’s great that everyone is here. The moment you mentioned in the group that you were celebrating your 50th birthday, I knew I had to come.”

“I got you a gift, come and take a look at it. Do you like it? I remember that when we were still schooling, this was the watch that you really wanted.”

Huang Ting opened up the gift box and took out the watch. Then, he placed the watch on Elder Lin’s wrist and said, “Look, I knew that you would definitely have put on some weight. The watch is just right for you.”

His classmates all gathered around and were all filled with envy the moment they saw that branded watch. Someone exclaimed, “It’s a Longines watch! It’s really expensive.”

“I think it must have cost a few thousand dollars.”

“It seems that Elder Ting is as generous as always.”

Lin Fan’s father looked at the watch and said, “Elder Ting, this is really too precious. As long as you guys come, that’s enough to make me happy. Why did you go out and buy such an expensive gift?”

Huang Yun Ge was standing behind and laughing. When he heard those words, he felt this person was a little fake. However, since it was his father’s classmate, he did not dare to say anything.

In his eyes, his dad was a spendthrift and a little foolish.

Huang Ting laughed and said, “It’s the thought that counts. Last time in school, when I was getting beaten up by other people, no one else came to help me but you rushed up and saved me. You probably lost that tooth because of me, right?”

“Haha,” Lin Fan’s father laughed. “I didn’t ask you for anything in return. Also, the fillings for my teeth have all been done already. However, the important thing is that everyone is here. That really makes me so happy.”

At this moment, Huang Ting scanned his surroundings and looked at all his former classmates. They all looked a little foreign to him. Besides Elder Lin, who had he played around with a bit more so he remembered, after all these years and after all the changes they had gone through, they did not look so familiar anymore.

“Elder Ting. Wait, no, I should say Chief Huang. Do you remember me? I’m Zhang Hao. I did a report for you before,” a fat middle-aged man said.

“Ah, Elder Zhang, I remember you. It’s been a while. Don’t call me Chief Huang. Elder Ting is enough,” Wang Ting said with a smile as he extended his hand out.

Zhang Hao felt very overwhelmed to be recognized by him. Even his waist became a little bent as he grabbed his hand.

After that, the surrounding people all stepped forward to shake hands with Huang Ting. At the same time, they all took out their phones to exchange phone numbers with him.

When Lin Fan saw everything that was unfolding in front of his eyes, he started to laugh. It seemed like his father had been completely forgotten by everyone.

He had the same train of thought as his mother. He had not spoken to his classmates in such a long time. Now, for all of them to suddenly come down was extremely weird. From what he saw, it seemed like his mother had been right. It appeared that pretty much all of them were here just because this Huang Ting guy was here.

However, this Huang Ting was a good person and he had a genuine friendship with his father. If this man were to come in front of his father and act arrogantly, Lin Fan really did not mind going up to him and telling him off.

Huang Ting sighed inside, waved them off and said, “Okay, my dear classmates, the star of the show today is Elder Lin, so if you guys have anything to discuss, we can have a good chat about it later. Elder Lin is turning 50 today so we have to make him happy.”

“Yes, Elder Ting is right.”

“Today is Elder Lin’s birthday after all.”

Elder Ting’s statement brought about a response from everyone. In an instant, everyone rushed to agree with him.

Then, everyone’s gaze shifted to the young man standing behind Huang Ting. To them, this young man had a very peculiar way of dressing. He was clearly a guy but he was wearing earrings. Also, he stood there with his head looking up and looking all over the place.

“Elder Ting, this is your son?”
