Chapter 2425

Looking at Nangong Yun again, he was clearly fuming, showing signs of suppressed anger.

Grandmother actually let Xi’er do all these things. Although she disdained doing them, she felt that Grandmother was paying more and more attention to Xi’er.

Once Xi’er finished arranging the rooms, Ling Chuxiang, Bei Shengri, and the others went back to rest.

In the hall, in the afternoon, many guests would come to offer birthday congratulations.

The whole afternoon was spent socializing by the Old Madam and the old master.

…

As evening approached, the sky slowly darkened.

Colorful lights in the main house lit up, turning it back to daylight.

Baili Xia and Wu Ming also arrived at the main house, attending the Old Madam’s birthday banquet as Bei Tianyou’s friends.

Mu Xiaoyao had other matters to attend to and said he would come later.

Baili Xia didn’t know anyone here, so upon entering the courtyard, the two casually found a seat.

Looking at the quickly filling courtyard of guests, the lively scene reminded her of the wedding of Zimo and Brother years ago.

Back then, Brother You had attended.

Suddenly, she asked, “At the Old Madam’s birthday banquet, I wonder if Uncle will come?”

Wu Ming raised his sword-like brows, looking at Baili Xia with a complex expression.

“What is it? Are you thinking of him?”

Baili Xia snapped back to reality, only then realizing what she had asked.

“No, not at all.”

She composed herself, whispered, “Just curious, during the Brother’s wedding, Brother You attended.”

Wu Ming, knowing her thoughts, replied indifferently, “The Mu family has representatives too.”

“Who?”

“You.”

Baili Xia was stunned. How could she qualify to represent the Mu family?

“Don’t forget, you’re Baili Yang’s granddaughter and Mr. Xiaojiu’s woman.”

Mr. Xiaojiu’s woman…

Baili Xia shook her head; that identity had long been gone.

If there had to be a representative, Brother would be more suitable.

Feeling inexplicably sad, Baili Xia didn’t want to say anything more and lowered her head to slowly eat the snacks.

Almost all the guests had arrived, the only ones missing were from the Bei Miao Nan Family.

At the main seat, Bei Qingyue looked at the empty seats in the courtyard, then at the Old Madam.

“It seems the Nan Family won’t be coming.”

The Old Madam nodded silently.

Bei Kuangri remarked indifferently, “It’s normal not to come; should they come to see how glorious our Bei Family is?”

Bei Qingyue tugged at his lips, choosing not to say more.

The current state of Bei Miao was likewise; once glorious, the Nan Family had now declined.

This was all because the position of Clan Leader had long been held by the Bei Family.

The Nan Family received fewer resources, and with the younger generation not striving, the gap between them and the Bei Family widened.

Suddenly, a commotion at the door captured the attention of the people in the courtyard.

Looking at the approaching person, Nangong Qingqing, who was standing at the door to greet guests, stood stunned, already dumbfounded.

The person wore a white casual outfit, exuding an indescribable elegance.

At forty, he had the appearance of someone in their twenties, with defined facial features and an air of cold determination.

Bei Fengjin had come! It was something none of them had expected!

Most of the guests in the courtyard hadn’t seen him in over a decade, yet still remembered his visage.

More than a decade ago, Bei Fengjin was such a dazzling figure.

No one knew why he suddenly vanished from everyone’s sight.

Over ten years had passed, everyone aged, yet! This Mr. Bei Fengjin, still looked just as he did back then!

Even now, describing him as the most handsome man in Bei Miao, who would disagree?
