his speech

Everything finally settled down and everyone returned to their seats. After Housekeeper Hu's constant reminder, Grandfather Ji decided it was time to make his speech.

Something urgent had come up and cause the delay of his granddaughter's arrival, but it is something he understands she must take care of.

However, no matter how long it will take, he cannot stall time anymore. It was already getting late.

He sighs inside and stood up from his seat with the help of Ji Jingxu. Lightly tapping his wine glass, everyone quiets down and turn to look at him.

Seeing that he had caught everyone's attention, Ji Jingxu sat back down and stares up at his grandfather.

"As you all gather here today, I, Ji Huan have invited you all to celebrate my 75th birthday. I appreciate the time you have taken out of your busy schedules to be here with me. It brings me great joy to know that many of you still consider me despite my old age."
