The birthday celebration ended at noon, and after lunch, no one left.
They returned to the front of the banquet hall to chat together.
There were activities planned for the afternoon, but it wasn’t ti to start yet, so everyone stayed in the banquet hall.
The elderly from the Gu Family, Lu Family, and Xu Family were chatting, surrounded by people.
The younger generation was also chatting among themselves.
Qiao Yuxian sat next to Gu Yanjing. After so ti, she grew a bit bored and took a coin from one of the Lu Family kids.
She asked Gu Yanjing to guess heads or tails.
Qiao Yuxian tossed the coin again, covered it with her hand, and asked Gu Yanjing, "Mr. Gu, heads or tails?"
Gu Yanjing looked at her hand and said, "Tails."
"Are you sure?" Qiao Yuxian asked.
"Yes." Gu Yanjing responded calmly and confidently.
"Really sure?" Qiao Yuxian said again, "This ti it’s very crucial. If you get it right again, it will be the tenth ti in a row, and you can make any wish you want."
Gu Yanjing looked at her, listening to what she said, and raised his eyebrows slightly.
Qiao Yuxian said, "Mr. Gu, are you sure you don’t want to change?"
"No, I won’t change." Gu Yanjing said.
"I guess it’s heads." Qiao Yuxian said as she flipped her hands, switching the position of the top and bottom hands. Then she removed her top hand.
The coin in her hand showed heads.
"Mr. Gu, you lost." Qiao Yuxian said with a very triumphant smile.
Gu Yanjing: "......"
Lin Huai Shu, while eating sunflower seeds and watching them, was initially silent upon seeing Qiao Yuxian’s series of actions, but then burst into laughter.
Shang Chen stood to the side, watching as well.
Seeing this, his expression seed to say that this was exactly the kind of thing Qiao Yuxian would do.
"Mr. Gu, I told you to change your guess." Qiao Yuxian said.
Gu Yanjing looked at her.
Qiao Yuxian said, "What a pity. You were just one guess away. With ten correct guesses, you could’ve made a wish."
Gu Yanjing looked at her with a regretful little face, and in a mont, grabbed her wrist.
At the instant her wrist was grabbed, Qiao Yuxian was startled, her face froze. She widened her eyes and looked at Gu Yanjing.
Gu Yanjing said calmly, "Start over."
Qiao Yuxian’s mouth twitched slightly.
"Ten tis." Gu Yanjing said.
Qiao Yuxian looked at him, paused, and shook her head, "No."
Gu Yanjing looked at her.
Qiao Yuxian continued to shake her head, "No."
Gu Yanjing continued to look at her...
Lu Muyao sat next to Lu ngyi, occasionally glancing in the direction of Gu Yanjing and Qiao Yuxian.
Watching Qiao Yuxian ask the kids for a coin, he said two words, "Shaless."
Lu ngyi gave him a stern look.
Lu Muyao beca much more subdued.
But after a while, watching Qiao Yuxian and Gu Yanjing guess heads or tails, he said two words again, "Childish."
Lu ngyi looked at him again, "Mu Yao, you are being incredibly rude today."
Lu Muyao, with an angry expression, looked at Lu ngyi, paused, and said quietly, "Sis, why do you keep siding with her?"
"You’re the one targeting her constantly." Lu ngyi said.
"I just don’t see the value in a useless person." Lu Muyao said.
"Mu Yao, everyone in this world has value, no one is useless." Lu ngyi said seriously, "Just because you’re skilled in your field, it doesn’t an others are nothing. In other fields, there are tis you’re less capable than others."
Lu Muyao listened to this, but clearly didn’t connect it to Qiao Yuxian, "Then tell , what is she good at? Bullying? Picking on kids? That, I admit, I’m not as good as her."
"You..." Lu ngyi was about to say sothing more when suddenly Old Sir Lu called out to Qiao Yuxian.
Lu ngyi and Lu Muyao both looked at Old Sir Lu.
Old Sir Lu looked at Qiao Yuxian and said, "Qiao Family girl, co here."
Now everyone was looking at Qiao Yuxian.
Lu ngyi is the most cherished granddaughter of Old Sir Lu. Since the beloved was taken away, the old man has been discontent, but he never expressed it verbally.
So as soon as he called Qiao Yuxian, everyone’s attention shifted to them.
Everyone was curious about what would happen.
Qiao Yuxian looked towards Old Sir Lu, then got up and walked to him, calling out, "Grandpa Lu."
"Co, sit here." Old Sir Lu gestured to the chair beside him.
Qiao Yuxian walked over and sat down.
Old Sir Lu looked at her kindly and asked, "How old are you this year?"
"Twenty-four." Qiao Yuxian replied.
"Twenty-four." Old Sir Lu repeated, then looked at Lu Muyao, "This is my youngest grandson, he is eighteen this year. What do you think of him?"
Gu Yanjing looked at Old Sir Lu.
Mr. Gu also looked at him.
Everyone in the banquet hall was watching Qiao Yuxian, listening to Old Sir Lu’s words, not understanding what he ant.
"Grandpa." Lu Muyao called Old Sir Lu.
Old Sir Lu ignored him, looking at Qiao Yuxian again, "What do you think of him?"
Qiao Yuxian looked at Old Sir Lu.
Sitting beside him, she looked at him with an expression of obedience and respect, yet beneath this seemingly gentle exterior, there was a strong aura surrounding her.
It seed like soone else’s main stage, yet she did not lose to the leading figure, and if she willed, she could surpass that person at any mont.
"Grandpa Lu, this is your grandson, so it wouldn’t be appropriate for to comnt." Qiao Yuxian said.
Hearing her words, Old Sir Lu laughed, "That ans the impression isn’t good."
Qiao Yuxian muttered softly, "That’s your interpretation, not my words."
Lu Muyao was fuming again, about to explode.
But Lu ngyi listened to her words and smiled softly.
"Then tell , how is ng Yi?" Old Sir Lu asked again.
Qiao Yuxian looked at Lu ngyi.
Lu ngyi also looked at her.
Qiao Yuxian looked at Lu ngyi and said, "Sister Lu is the best in the world. Beautiful, kind-hearted, highly capable, unmatched by anyone."
Lu ngyi smiled at her.
Old Sir Lu said, "Such high praise."
"I’m just telling the truth." Qiao Yuxian said, looking at Old Sir Lu.
"So that ans the impression of Mu Yao isn’t good," Old Sir Lu said.
"I never said that," Qiao Yuxian said quietly.
Old Sir Lu laughed, "You little girl."
Qiao Yuxian also laughed a little.
Old Sir Lu looked at Mr. Gu and said, "No wonder you are in a good mood every day; having such a little girl around makes anyone happy."
Mr. Gu also laughed, looking at Qiao Yuxian with a fond expression.
Qiao Yuxian smiled at him.
Old Sir Lu continued, "Qiao girl, although you don’t have a good impression of my grandson, let tell you, apart from his temper, he’s quite accomplished in every other aspect."
Qiao Yuxian looked at Old Sir Lu.
Old Sir Lu said, "In the future, the Lu Family will be theirs."
Gu Yanjing and Lin Huai Shu also looked at Old Sir Lu.
A faint light flickered deep in Qiao Yuxian’s eyes.
Others also pondered over Old Sir Lu’s words.
He was letting everyone know through his conversation with Qiao Yuxian that Lu Muyao would be the heir of the Lu Family.
And he was informing Qiao Yuxian.
Even if you don’t have a good impression of him or don’t like him.
But if the Lu and Gu Families want to maintain their relationship, you need to accept him.
And you also need Lu Muyao to accept you.
Only then can the relationship between the two families be maintained.
Or, unless the Lu and Gu families no longer wish to maintain their relationship.
But with Lu Muyao’s capabilities, they have to consider carefully.
