Chapter 998: Being Showy Can Also Be Hereditary
Li Hui was involved with the underworld, known for her loyalty and valor, and she undoubtedly held the Bo Family’s behavior in contempt.
But when Gu Qibao first got pregnant, and everyone knew and sent many gifts, the Bo Family also sent gifts, and not just a few.
They sent at least a truckload of stuff, from baby cribs and toys to clothes and supplies, all the necessities, and they didn’t come cheap, mostly from international top-tier brands.
The Bo Family certainly wasn’t short of money, especially since Bo Ruijie was eager to mend fences with Di Mingjue.
Even though he knew it was impossible, not sending a gift when Gu Qibao was pregnant was out of the question.
Eager face or not, he had to stick to it, right?
So the Bo Family was also preparing to go.
Somehow, the Rubik’s Cube competitors also got wind of the event.
This kind of news definitely spread quickly, so now the party was getting lively.
There were also the middle and upper-level employees from Di Mingjue’s company, totaling about one to two hundred people.
The cocktail party was exceedingly lively.
The venue was still within the vast estate of the Di Family, a heritage passed down by their ancestors and cataloged as a cultural preservation area. Normally open to the public, but the Di Family could use it whenever they wished as long as they arranged it in advance.
This also highlighted the Di Family’s status in the capital—the depth and heritage left by the ancestors were significant.
On this day, Di Mingjue was also in formal attire, looking sharply handsome as he stood at the entrance to the estate. The Di Family was all present, as they were the hosts, after all.
Gu Qibao wasn’t at the entrance to greet people because Di Mingjue couldn’t bear to have her stand for too long, worried that she would tire out.
Di Xiaxia specifically took half a day off to join in the fun; she definitely had to be there, standing at the doorway as well.
Laughing and greeting the guests with Di Mingzhe by her side.
Inside the estate, Gu Qibao wasn’t lonely, with her sisters and Nangong Ran for company. They were leisurely eating fruit and chatting together.
Di Jinxuan was, of course, also at the entrance greeting guests, while Nangong Jin shamelessly sidled up to her. He was too embarrassed to approach her on his own at such a big event, so he brought along Nangong Xiao, the Nangong Family’s five-year-old little rascal.
Nangong Xiao, unaware of the complexities, immediately latched onto Di Jinxuan’s legs, looking up with big black grape-like eyes, "Sister Xuanxuan, how are you?"
Nangong Xiao was quite the little devil and a good talker—she could converse well with adults despite her young age.
Di Jinxuan was taken aback for a moment before smiling, "Xiaoxiao is here too? Why haven’t I seen you lately?"
"I went traveling with my grandma. She said it’s more fun with me, so she insisted on bringing me along. Because of that, I missed out on my studies."
As she spoke, Nangong Xiao frowned and pouted, looking every bit the academic overachiever.
Di Jinxuan couldn’t help but laugh, squatting down to pinch her rosy cheeks, "Wow, Xiaoxiao is so focused on her studies."
"Not really," Nangong Xiao pouted, tilting her head, and after two seconds of thought, said, "The cutest boy in our school asked me out to play before, but I went traveling and missed it. Now he’s ignoring me."
Nangong Xiao said this with a helpless look on her face.
Di Jinxuan’s eyes widened in disbelief. Damn, it seemed cockiness really was hereditary!
"Uh," Di Jinxuan said, pressing her forehead, "then let’s not play with him. We don’t care about that."
"Who says we don’t care?" Nangong Xiao’s eyes widened as she brandished her little fists, "He’s the cutest boy in our kindergarten!"
Di Jinxuan: "..."
And now she was getting worked up.
