381-385

Chapter 381: Number 1 at Tricking the Dad

The invitation was very exquisite. Xia Wanyuan took it and looked at it.

So it was Bo Xiao’s 24th birthday party.

One was for Jun Shiling, and the other was for Xia Wanyuan.

Even if Jun Shiling had not told Bo Xiao that he and Xia Wanyuan did not plan to publicize it for the time being, with Bo Xiao’s ability to sense it, he had long discovered it. Hence, he carefully distributed two invitations and sent them to the manor.

She looked at the time. June 13th. That was the day after tomorrow.

“You’re back?” A pair of arms wrapped around her waist. The heat pounced on her ear. Xia Wanyuan could not help but shrink her shoulders, causing the person behind her to hug her even tighter.

“Why don’t you make a sound when you walk?”

“You were too focused.” Jun Shiling leaned over and kissed Xia Wanyuan’s ear. “I haven’t seen you for a day. I missed you so much.”

Xia Wanyuan’s ears heated up. “Got it.”

“Did you miss me?” Jun Shiling chuckled when he saw Xia Wanyuan’s flushed ears.

“Yes, yes, yes. Let go of me quickly. Xiao Bao will be back soon.” Xia Wanyuan put down the invitation and patted Jun Shiling’s hand.

“Good boy.” Hearing Xia Wanyuan’s words, Jun Shiling was satisfied.

However, thinking of his scammy son, Jun Shiling’s eyes narrowed.

Because he and Xia Wanyuan had gone to Continent O for nearly a week and had not brought Xiao Bao along, Xiao Bao relied on Xia Wanyuan to pamper him. Every night, he would hug Xia Wanyuan and not let go, not even wanting his favorite bear doll. Jun Shiling could only curl up in the corner of the bed and sleep alone every night.

“Mommy, I’m back. The teacher praised me today!”

Jun Shiling was about to say that it was time to let Xiao Bao sleep alone and not spoil him all the time when Xiao Bao’s familiar running sound came in. Jun Shiling hurriedly let go.

Xiao Bao ran in with a little red flower in his hand. The nanny could not follow him.

“Mommy, look. The little red flower that Teacher rewarded me with is for you.” Xiao Bao leaned over and hugged Xia Wanyuan’s leg, handing the little flower to her.

“Good boy, you’re the best.” Xia Wanyuan patted Xiao Bao’s head, bent down, and kissed him on the cheek.

“Hehe, Mommy is better than me. Mommy is the best person in the world.”

Xiao Bao: Xia Wanyuan’s number one fan in the universe.

“Go and wash your hands and eat.” Jun Shiling watched Xia Wanyuan kiss and rub Xiao Bao’s head from the side, and his heart ached.

“Okay!” Xiao Bao, who had received Xia Wanyuan’s praise, did not care how bad Jun Shiling’s expression was. He happily followed the nanny to wash his hands.

Xia Wanyuan glanced at Jun Shiling’s expression and found it funny. Seeing that the servants were not in the living room, the nanny brought Xiao Bao to wash his hands.

Suddenly, she walked up and kissed Jun Shiling on the cheek, then held his hand. “You’re even jealous of your son.”

Sensing the moist warmth on his face, Jun Shiling’s eyes lit up. His burning gaze at Xia Wanyuan was about to burn her to ashes.

“Can I send Jun Yin to Grandpa tomorrow?” Jun Shiling’s eyes burned.

“Eat, eat. What are you thinking about all day?” Xia Wanyuan bit her lip, pushed Jun Shiling’s hand away, and walked towards the dining table. Coincidentally, Xiao Bao had finished washing his hands, so Jun Shiling did not say anything else.

“Daddy, I want to eat prawns too. Can you peel them for me too?” Halfway through the meal, Xiao Bao was envious as he watched Jun Shiling throw chubby prawns into Xia Wanyuan’s bowl one by one.

Daddy had never peeled prawns for me!

“You are a man. Do it yourself.” Jun Shiling glanced at Xiao Bao and completely ignored his expectant gaze.

“I don’t know how to.” Xiao Bao pouted. Seeing that Jun Shiling was ignoring him, he looked at Xia Wanyuan.

Xia Wanyuan could not bear to see the little dumpling’s soft and expectant gaze. She reached out to peel it for Xiao Bao, but Jun Shiling stopped her.

“Let me teach you.” Jun Shiling looked at Xiao Bao. “A boy wants your mother to peel prawns for you. Isn’t it embarrassing?”

“Okay.”

Xiao Bao picked up a plate of prawns and slipped off the chair, then placed the plate in front of Jun Shiling. He hugged Jun Shiling’s leg and snuggled into his arms.

However, during this period of time, Xiao Bao had been fed all sorts of delicious food by Old Master Jun in the courtyard. In addition, he was especially cute and had been fed food by Old Master Jun’s old friends, so he had indeed gained some weight.

Xiao Bao rubbed himself against Jun Shiling for a long time, but his short legs still did not climb into his arms.

Jun Shiling could only remove his gloves and carried Xiao Bao to his lap. He frowned. “Jun Yin, you’ve really gained weight. Starting tomorrow morning, run for half an hour in the morning.”

“I’m not fat!! I’m baby fat!! Cute!!” Xiao Bao wanted to protest, but Jun Shiling glanced over and Xiao Bao obediently shut his mouth.

“Look, remove the prawn tail like this first.” Jun Shiling began to teach Xiao Bao how to peel the prawns step by step. Xiao Bao had little strength, so Jun Shiling helped him break the shell before letting Xiao Bao peel it himself.

Although he was not very proficient at first, Xiao Bao had inherited their high intelligence after all, so he quickly peeled it properly.

Finally, Xiao Bao peeled a chubby prawn, but he did not eat it himself. Instead, he handed it to Xia Wanyuan. “Mommy, try the one I peeled.”

Xia Wanyuan smiled and took it, putting it in her mouth. Then, she gave Xiao Bao a thumbs up. “It’s super delicious.”

Xiao Bao smiled and peeled another one happily. This time, he brought the prawn meat to Jun Shiling’s mouth. “Daddy, this is for you.”

Although he was often punished by Jun Shiling for being mischievous, and would always argue and say, “Bad Daddy, I don’t want to like you anymore.” In Xiao Bao’s heart, he still relied on Jun Shiling very much.

Jun Shiling ate the prawn meat that Xiao Bao had brought to his mouth in one bite, his eyes filled with warmth. “You peeled it pretty well.”

“Hehe, of course ~” Jun Shiling had never praised people much. Now that he had been praised by Jun Shiling, Xiao Bao’s little tail was about to float.

Finally, he peeled the third prawn. This time, Xiao Bao finally fed himself.

Xia Wanyuan looked at the two similar faces at the side. The warm light shone on them, and Xia Wanyuan deeply understood what the words “peaceful time” meant.

The next day, before Jun Shiling could say that he was going to send Xiao Bao to the courtyard, Old Master Jun called the manor.

The last time they met was after Xia Wanyuan was injured. The old master had personally come to visit, but because of Xia Wanyuan’s injury, the family did not have a proper meal. Now that Xia Wanyuan had recovered, Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan had not been to the courtyard for a long time, so the old master wanted to call her over for a meal.

When Jun Shiling brought Xia Wanyuan and Xiao Bao to the courtyard, not only was the old master in the courtyard, but there was also an exquisitely dressed old lady who was not far from the old master.

Chapter 382: Grandaunt?

“Great-grandfather! I’m here!!” The door was pushed open. Xiao Bao, who was dressed in a sea costume today, flew to Old Master Jun like a wave.

“My good boy is here. Come, call Great-grandma.” Seeing Xiao Bao come over, the old master was extremely happy. He hugged Xiao Bao on his lap, then pointed at the old lady sitting opposite him.

“Hello, Great-grandma,” Xiao Bao greeted softly.

The old lady with exquisite makeup nodded and replied as she sized him up, “Mm.”

“Look, sister, I told you, but you didn’t believe me. My great-grandson is very obedient, right?” Speaking of Xiao Bao, Old Master Jun’s eyes were filled with pride.

He had just told his sister, whom he had not seen for many years, that Jun Shiling was already married and had a child, but she did not believe him.

Now that she saw Xiao Bao, the old madam finally believed him.

“He looks quite smart, but he’s too lively. It’s time for an old child like him to start learning the rules.” The old lady’s reaction was a little cold.

Xiao Bao looked at the old lady curiously. He acutely sensed that this great-grandmother did not seem to like him very much.

“Good child, where are your parents?” The old master looked towards the door and asked Xiao Bao when he did not see Jun Shiling or Xia Wanyuan.

“When I got out of the car just now, Mommy saw someone selling ice powder beside me. She said she wanted to try it, so Daddy went to buy it with her. I missed Great-grandfather! I didn’t even eat the ice powder before I came to look for you!!”

Xiao Bao clung onto the old man’s arm tightly, his face filled with praise. The old man was overjoyed by Xiao Bao’s words. “Good boy. Great-grandfather will get someone to bring you candy later.”

“Okay!” Xiao Bao cheered happily.

“Jun Yin, get off your great-grandfather. Your great-grandfather is old, don’t jump on him.” Jun Shiling’s deep voice came from the door.

“Okay.” Xiao Bao obediently got off the old man, but he still hugged his arm and did not let go.

“Long time no see, Shiling. Shiling, you have grown up.” Seeing Jun Shiling, the old lady sitting in the courtyard finally smiled.

However, Jun Shiling did not walk into the courtyard directly. Instead, he held the door. “Slow down.”

Wearing a light green embroidered short skirt, Xia Wanyuan walked in with a bowl of ice powder that contained colorful fruits.

“You’re here.” Old Master smiled and got Uncle Liu to bring two chairs over.

“Grandpa.” Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan greeted Old Master together.

“Hey, Ah Ling, this is your great aunt. Do you remember?”

Jun Shiling glanced at the old lady sitting and called out, “Grandaunt.”

“Hey, that’s great. When I got married and went to England, you were still a child. In the blink of an eye, you’ve grown so handsome. Time really flies.” The old lady looked at Jun Shiling with admiration.

Back then, she had married into England’s royal family and become the Duchess of the York family in England. Over the years, she had seen countless young talents, but none of them could compare to her grandnephew.

“Grandaunt,” Xia Wanyuan called out to Jun Shiling.

Madam York sized up Xia Wanyuan and glanced at the ice powder in her hand.

Displeasure flashed across her eyes. She was quite pretty, but she had no rules.

“Why haven’t I heard that Shiling is married?” Madam York seemed to have ignored Xia Wanyuan’s greeting. Logically speaking, with Jun Shiling’s status, if he was married and had a child, it should be a worldwide sensation.

“I’m worried about my granddaughter-in-law’s career. I’ll tell everyone when the time is ripe,” Old Master replied.

“What career?”

“I know!!” Xiao Bao suddenly jumped out. “Mommy is a celebrity! She’s in a drama! She’s super beautiful!!”

“Celebrity?” Madam York’s eyes flickered. No wonder they did not publicize it. She had probably only given birth to a child for Jun Shiling. She was a small celebrity who could not be shown off, so she was so unruly.

Xia Wanyuan had originally thought that this was the old master’s relative and was about to communicate with her more. Seeing Madam York’s gaze, she knew what she was thinking.

Xia Wanyuan immediately gave up on communicating with her. Without waiting for this noble old lady to reply to her greeting, she carried the ice powder and sat on the chair beside her.

Chapter 383: Truly Unrivaled Honor

Seeing Xia Wanyuan like this, Madam York’s impression of her worsened.

And Jun Shiling actually had no opinion about her unruly behavior.

Madam York frowned slightly. He was a young person after all. Even someone as outstanding as Jun Shiling could not resist the temptation of a young and beautiful woman.

“I want to drink water.” Xia Wanyuan ate half a glass of ice powder and felt that her throat was a little dry.

“I’ll pour it for you,” Jun Shiling said as he walked into the house to pour water for Xia Wanyuan.

Having maintained the etiquette of a Duchess for many years, Madam York already disliked Xia Wanyuan very much, but she only frowned slightly.

Having been in England for many years, Madam York, who was already used to life there, and she regarded etiquette more important than anything else, so she was unwilling to eat with chopsticks anymore. Hence, Old Master Jun specially prepared a separate western meal for his sister.

There were many Sichuan dishes on the table. Xia Wanyuan tried eating a few mouthfuls of Spicy Boiled Fish. It was so spicy that her face was covered in a thin layer of sweat.

Jun Shiling dipped his handkerchief in ice water and carefully wiped her face. Xia Wanyuan seemed to be used to Jun Shiling’s actions and ate herself.

Old Master Jun’s gaze circled Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan, and he could not help but smile. From the looks of it, their relationship was getting better.

It was probably not far from the day he would show off in front of his old comrades, holding hands with a little great-grandson.

Unlike Old Master, Madam York looked at Xia Wanyuan’s sweating face and felt even more disdainful. She was indeed an actress who could not be taught. How could the wife of the head of the Jun family be such a woman?

After dinner, Jun Shiling had not come to the Old Master for a long time. The Old Master had something to tell him alone, so the grandfather and grandson stayed in the study.

The old master liked to raise flowers, birds, and insects in the backyard. Uncle Liu was extremely happy to catch fish with Xiao Bao in the backyard.

Xia Wanyuan ate a little spicy at noon and her stomach felt a little uncomfortable, so she did not accompany Xiao Bao. Instead, she took off her shoes and leaned on the sofa to digest her food.

“Which school did you graduate from? What major did you major in?” Madam York took her exquisite steps and sat opposite Xia Wanyuan. Her sitting posture was so standard that it was as if she was being held by a ruler.

Be it the angle of her feet, the way she folded her hands, or the size of the chair, they undoubtedly displayed the etiquette of England’s royal family and showed her status as the Duchess.

“XX University, history major,” Xia Wanyuan replied according to the original owner’s educational background.

Madam York searched her mind for the top 100 schools in the world and realized that there was no such school as Xia Wanyuan had mentioned. What history major?? What was the use of learning this?

“It’s not convenient for my brother to say some things, but I have to remind you.” Madam York looked at Xia Wanyuan casually leaning on the sofa, and her brows furrowed even more tightly. “Don’t think about things you don’t deserve.”

The corners of Xia Wanyuan’s lips curled up slightly as she glanced at Madam York, who was sitting upright. “Then I want to tell you something too.”

“Please speak.”

“A true noble doesn’t need to be decorated with etiquette, Madam York.”

Xia Wanyuan smiled. Even though she was lying casually on the sofa, she could not hide her noble aura.

It was the noble royal bloodline that came from the bones. It was the arrogance tempered by many years of governing and receiving the worship of the people. It was the aura that made people submit from the inside out.

Madam York originally wanted to retort Xia Wanyuan’s words, but she did not expect to be so shocked by Xia Wanyuan’s aura that she forgot what she wanted to say.

By the time she reacted, Xia Wanyuan had already turned her head and was reading the book in her hand.

“You’re bluffing.” Madam York was originally puzzled that Xia Wanyuan had such a strong aura, but on second thought, she heard that this person was an actor and her acting skills seemed to be not bad.

Xia Wanyuan ignored Madam York, and Madam York did not speak to her again.

More than an hour later, Jun Shiling and Old Master finally came out of the study.

“Have you waited long?” The moment Jun Shiling came out, he came straight to Xia Wanyuan.

“Not really.”

“Are you still feeling uncomfortable?” Jun Shiling helped Xia Wanyuan up and asked worriedly.

“Mm, I think I ate too much spicy food for lunch.” Xia Wanyuan frowned slightly, her stomach feeling a little uncomfortable.

“Then let’s tell Grandpa that we’ll go back early,” Jun Shiling said and went to look for Old Master.

Initially, the old master wanted to let Xiao Bao stay, but Madam York found the hotel too dirty and wanted to stay in the courtyard. Jun Shiling was afraid that Xiao Bao would disturb the two elders, so he brought Xiao Bao back to the manor.

————

“Mom, look at how arrogant Bo Xiao is. It’s not even his fiftieth birthday, and he’s holding such a grand event as if he’s afraid that others won’t know that he has returned to Beijing. Dad is the same. He actually let him do whatever he wants.” Bo Yi was especially unhappy when he saw that the house was decorated very beautifully to celebrate Bo Xiao’s birthday.

“What are you afraid of? That Bo Xiao hasn’t returned to Beijing in so many years. How many people do you think will come for his birthday? If he makes it so grand, I’m afraid it’ll be a joke.” Mo Ling smiled coldly. In a rich family, Bo Xiao was just a young master who had no presence. Who would waste time attending his banquet?

Chapter 384: Coveting Master Jun?

Bo Yi counted. Bo Xiao really did not have many friends. The only few classmates he had were recruited by Bo Yi as his friends after Bo Xiao left the country.

Ever since he could remember, Bo Yi had been secretly watching Bo Xiao have so many things that he did not have. Hence, ever since he was young, he had sworn in his heart that he would snatch away everything about Bo Xiao, including his friends.

Bo Yi called Bo Xiao’s classmates and was puzzled when he learned that they did not receive an invitation. If he did not invite these people, how would Bo Xiao have other friends?

“I’m sorry, my brother’s birthday is tomorrow. I don’t think he has many friends. Why don’t you guys come over tomorrow night? You haven’t seen my brother in a long time, right?”

Since Bo Yi had spoken, the others naturally agreed.

——

Not long after Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan left, Madam York received a video call.

After teasing the bird, the old master returned to his room and saw his sister talking to the person on the phone with a smile.

“Ruth, call him Great-grandfather.” Madam York turned the camera towards Old Master. In the video was an extremely beautiful Chinese face, but there was an exotic look in her eyes.

“Hello, Great-grandfather.” The lady in the video was very polite. She even stood up and bowed to the old master.

]”Hello, this is?”

“This is my grand niece, Li Qingxue.” Madam York paused for a moment and added, “She’s from my husband’s bloodline. She’s not related to me by blood and is a girl raised by an artistic family. Her father is Li Jia, a Chinese businessman who has just been conferred the title of duke by England’s royal family.”

“A very outstanding girl.” Old Master nodded.

“Great-grandfather, you’re too kind.” Although Li Qingxue had grown up in England, she had received the nurturing of China’s culture. Speaking of which, she was not much inferior to the daughters of wealthy families in China.

“You guys chat. I’ll go to the backyard to take a look.” Old Master was worried about the fish in his backyard and hurriedly wanted to go to the backyard.

After Old Master left, Madam York asked Li Qingxue about her studies. Seeing that Li Qingxue was hesitating, Madam York understood.

“I’ve seen my grandnephew. It’s been many years since we last met, and he has indeed grown into an extremely outstanding person. No wonder you can remember him from so many years ago.”

Li Qingxue lowered her head, her eyes filled with embarrassment.

Li Qingxue was from a prestigious family and she was a student of a top-notch school. She was outstanding in all aspects. Furthermore, the Li family and the York family had a close relationship. Madam York had long wanted Jun Shiling and Li Qingxue to be together.

If they could recruit Jun Shiling, the York family could do whatever they wanted in the world.

It had been many years since she had returned to China. Ever since she had become the Duchess, she had been too busy to leave. This time, she had come back to celebrate the Old Master’s seventieth birthday. One was to meet her brother, whom she had not seen for many years, and the other was to come back and visit this especially outstanding grandnephew.

“Grandaunt, I’m about to graduate. I want to submit a resume and intern at the Jun Corporation. What do you think?”

“With such an outstanding resume, there’s definitely no problem.” Seeing Li Qingxue’s expectant look, Madam York did not want to discourage her.

Thinking of Xia Wanyuan, Madam York frowned slightly. However, she was ultimately an actress who could not be shown off. The Jun family would definitely not marry such a woman. As for that child, Madam York thought that she would tell Li Qingxue about it when she found the right opportunity.

As long as she had the status of the Madam of the Jun family, Li Qingxue’s children in the future would be the most respected in the Jun family. It was fine to raise another child.

When she married the Duke of York, he had his own child. Wasn’t it her child who had inherited the title?

With Madam York’s guarantee, Li Qingxue was relieved and sent the Jun Corporation an application resume.

———

When Jun Shiling and his family returned to the manor, Xiao Bao received all sorts of classes and training as usual. He followed the teacher with a bitter expression.

“Uncle Wang, call Shen Xiu over.” Seeing that Xia Wanyuan’s face was a little pale, Jun Shiling was worried and wanted Shen Xiu to come and check.

“You can’t eat so much chili next time.” Jun Shiling poured a glass of water for Xia Wanyuan and fed her.

“You didn’t even let me eat at the manor, but you won’t let me eat at Grandpa’s house?” Although her stomach felt a little uncomfortable, Xia Wanyuan felt that the spicy boiled fish tasted really good. She even wanted to have another meal at night, but seeing Jun Shiling’s expression, Xia Wanyuan knew that this was a delusion.

“I’ll feel uncomfortable with you even after eating.” Jun Shiling gently knocked Xia Wanyuan’s forehead, his eyes filled with helplessness.

Not long after, Shen Xiu came and checked.

“There’s nothing wrong with Madam. It’s mainly because she hasn’t touched spicy food for a long time. Her stomach reacted a little when she suddenly ate too spicy food. Drink more warm water and don’t eat spicy food for the time being. She’ll be fine soon.”

“Did you hear that? You’re not allowed to eat spicy food anymore.” Jun Shiling pinched Xia Wanyuan’s hand and looked at her with indulgent eyes.

Shen Xiu quietly glanced at the two of them, who were exuding a sweet aura.

Thinking of how his sister, who had overturned the heavens, would nag at him every day, “Will my husband be seduced by that little vixen if he shoots with Xia Wanyuan every day?” “If Xia Wanyuan dares to covet my husband, I’ll definitely defame her.” Shen Xiu wanted to operate on his sister’s brain.

Seeing how CEO Jun treated her so well, how could Xia Wanyuan seduce Yan Ci?

Shen Xiu was young, but as the chief surgeon of the hospital, he was especially busy every day. After confirming that Xia Wanyuan was fine, Shen Xiu left.

Jun Shiling picked her up and walked to the bedroom upstairs. “Rest well. You have to attend Bo Xiao’s birthday party tomorrow.”

However, Xia Wanyuan had no intention of letting go of Jun Shiling. She hugged Jun Shiling’s neck and did not let go.

“What’s wrong?” Jun Shiling lowered his head and kissed her on the cheek.

“Accompany me.” Xia Wanyuan had been sticking to Jun Shiling more and more recently. Since her stomach hurt today, Xia Wanyuan didn’t want to stay alone anymore.

“Okay, okay, okay. I’ll sleep with you.” Jun Shiling gently stroked Xia Wanyuan’s hair, his eyes filled with smiles.

He didn’t think that it was a bad thing for Xia Wanyuan to stick to him at all. On the contrary, the more Xia Wanyuan clung to him, the happier he was.

After speaking, Jun Shiling got onto the bed, hugged her, and gently patted her back as he slowly told the story.

——

Although Bo Qing had suggested to arrange Bo Xiao’s birthday party in the hotel, Bo Xiao had rejected him. With Old Master Bo’s support, the entire Bo family had been decorated and filled with the aura of a banquet.

Chapter 385: Birthday Banquet

There were many things to do in the production team. As the female lead, Xia Wanyuan had a lot of scenes. When Xia Wanyuan returned to Old Master’s house, she asked for a leave from the production team. The next day, Xia Wanyuan returned to the production team to catch up on filming progress. It was only when it was almost evening that she caught up on the progress for the past two days.

The moon slowly climbed up the treetops, and the Bo family’s birthday banquet gradually began.

Anyway, he had spent the Bo family’s money. Bo Xiao had decorated the banquet venue extremely grandly, and to Mo Ling’s surprise, there were many people.

Furthermore, all these people who came to attend Bo Xiao’s birthday banquet had extraordinary backgrounds.

Those people who had been called over by Bo Yi to watch Bo Xiao make a fool of himself looked at each other. There were so many of them, and they did not have an invitation to Bo Xiao’s birthday banquet at all, but they stood in the middle of the hall with Bo Yi. It was really awkward

A few of Bo Yi’s friends in the industry also knew that Bo Xiao was back. Hearing Bo Xiao’s words, they also came to join in the fun. However, because they were late, they were blocked at the door.

“Why can’t we enter?” The few of them wanted to argue with the guard when they saw a familiar figure walking towards the courtyard from the corner of their eyes. “Why did Xia Wanyuan enter?”

“I’m sorry, Sir. Miss Xia has an invitation. If you have one too, I can let you in now,” the guard said professionally.

There were already many people in the hall, and it was very lively. However, when Xia Wanyuan walked into the hall, the entire hall was silent for a moment.

Other than those who often followed the entertainment industry, no one else recognized Xia Wanyuan. Even if she could cause a huge commotion online, in reality, not many people knew.

In particular, many people in the hall were elites from all walks of life. They usually had no time to watch entertainment news or television dramas.

Everyone only felt that Xia Wanyuan was especially beautiful and couldn’t help but take a few more looks.

A hint of disdain flashed across Bo Yi’s eyes when he saw Xia Wanyuan.

Although the people on the Internet were calling Xia Wanyuan “female CEO” one by one, in the many noble families in Beijing, the Xia family was at most a little rich. However, in terms of status, even if they sent out seven rings, they would not be able to enter the wealthy families.

Seeing that more and more people were coming, including many politicians, Bo Yi frowned and looked at Mo Ling. “Mom, didn’t you say that Bo Xiao couldn’t invite anyone at all?”

“Old Master probably came forward. These people probably came because of Old Master.” Jealousy flashed across Mo Ling’s eyes. That damned old man had indeed always favored Bo Xiao. “Don’t worry, I’ve already arranged it. I won’t let Bo Xiao steal the limelight from the Bo family.”

She wanted to let everyone in Beijing know that Bo Yi was the only proper young master in the Bo family. As for Bo Xiao? He was just a brat and a useless young master.

Only then could the hatred in her heart that had been suppressed by Bo Xiao’s mother for so many years be appeased, and only then could she take revenge for the arrow that Bo Xiao had shot at her wedding five years ago.

There was a sudden commotion in the hall. Bo Xiao walked in from the side door in an exquisite tailcoat. However, what surprised everyone was that the first thing he did when he entered the house was not to greet the big shots of the business world or the higher-ups of the military. Instead, he walked to Xia Wanyuan.

“Miss Xia.” Bo Xiao smiled slyly. He did not dare to call her sister-in-law in front of everyone.

“Happy birthday.” Xia Wanyuan smiled and handed him a box.

Before Bo Xiao could accept it, he heard a commotion outside the door.

What’s going on?”

“I think the Zheng and Qin family are here.”

“Really? That’s impossible, right?” The listener seemed to not believe it. After all, the Zheng and Qin families were families with power.

There were clear boundaries between politics and business. In the past, they would not interact much with the business world, let alone now that it was only a birthday banquet. How could these two families send people over?

However, in reality, these two families did send people, and the level of the people who came was not low. But these two families were not here for Bo Xiao.
