“Old Bo, it’s been more than a decade, and you’re finally back.”

Ignoring the strange gazes around him, Han Ye forcefully punched him on the back.

“Time has really been kind to you. Your face hasn’t changed a bit, unlike me.” Han Ye said with a touch of jealousy.

How did he maintain himself so well? Walking in with a backpack into the university, no one would doubt him.

Bo Yuxun showed a rare smile, “Neither have you changed.” Still so funny.

“Let’s go, let’s head back to the hotel first.” Han Ye took the luggage from him.

Bo Yuxun stepped out of the airport, looked at the sunset on the horizon, and paused for a moment.

Jiangzhou was warmer than Jingzhou. The wind brushed across his face, making him feel a bit more gentle.

“What are you staring at? Get in the car.” Han Ye waved as he stood beside his Range Rover.

Bo Yuxun smiled, and got into the car.

“Is this your first time in Jiangzhou?” Han Ye asked as he drove.

Bo Yuxun took in the scenery outside the window and answered indifferently, “No.”

Chatting with Bo Yuxun was prone to awkward silences, so Han Ye racked his brains to think of topics for conversation.

“Oh, I have someone to introduce you to this time. You’re definitely going to thank me for it, haha!”

Bo Yuxun raised an eyebrow: “Ming Jing?”

“Even you, who doesn’t concern himself with the outside world, has heard about her. It seems our Miss Zhu’s fame will soon break out of Asia and go international.”

“Let me tell you, that girl is a real treasure. Last time, at a press conference, her arm was splashed by concentrated sulfuric acid, but she didn’t even take anesthesia. She even complained that I was clumsy, so she cut the rotten flesh from herself. Geez, her ruthlessness and skill would make her a great surgeon, just like you back in the day.”

Bo Yuxun was stunned for a moment – this was the second person to say that.

It seemed the young girl was quite like him.

Bo Yuxun was now genuinely intrigued.

The three days of exams quickly passed. Once they handed in their last test paper, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

“It’s the holidays.” They were excited just thinking about it.

Xie Zhen walked up to Ming Jing, who packed her things, and the two left together.

As they walked, they discussed the answers to the test.

The people next to them didn’t dare to make a sound.

“By the way, Ming Jing, I heard Granny Zhu’s birthday is the day after tomorrow. I saved up money to buy her a gift, can you give it to her for me?”

Ming Jing smiled: “Come to Zhongdu Garden Hotel the day after tomorrow, and give the gift to Granny Zhu yourself.”

Xie Zhen was thrilled: “I… Can I really go?”

“You’re my friend, so of course you can.”

Looking at the time, Ming Jing said: “I have something else to do, so I’ll leave first. See you the day after tomorrow.”

Xie Zhen watched Ming Jing’s receding figure, her feelings swelling for a long time.

“Congratulations, you finally managed to latch onto a high branch.” A buzz-killing voice suddenly came, ruining Xie Zhen’s good mood.

Xie Zhen glanced sidelong at the sarcastic Tang Wan: “What do you mean by that?”

“Nothing, just a friendly reminder that the banquet the day after tomorrow will be bustling. You should be mentally prepared.”

Xie Zhen frowned: “Psycho.”

Tang Wan didn’t seem to be bothered by it and hummed a tune as she walked away.

Xie Zhen never realized before that Tang Wan was this kind of person.

She snorted at the thought and didn’t take Tang Wan’s words seriously.

Nonsense. Given Ming Jing’s current reputation and status, a lot of people would attend her grandmother’s birthday banquet just to save face. It only takes common sense to know it’ll be lively.

As New Year’s Day approached, Lin Qing was busier than ever.

Following Ming Jing’s request to hold a big birthday banquet this year, they sent out hundreds of invitations. They had to arrange the menu and seating. Lin Qing’s head was about to explode from all the details; a single oversight could easily offend someone.

Mr. Shen and the Shens were certainly important guests and showed great respect to the Zhu family.

Madam Jiang would also definitely attend, along with the rest of the Gao, Li, and Ye families.

At the same time, Ming Jing and Zhu Xiangxiang’s classmates needed to be accommodated separately.

In addition, a large group of relatives from the Zhu family’s hometown would also attend. These relatives didn’t keep in touch much, but this year was a rare occasion for Granny Zhu and she specifically instructed them to invite their hometown relatives.

Lin Qing didn’t have a good impression of these people. They were a bunch of poor ghosts who used to bully her when she first married into the family. When the Zhu family became wealthy, they shamelessly attached themselves. Fortunately, Granny Zhu was tough and managed to fend them off – they had not acted up for many years.

As people get older, they tend to be nostalgic. Granny Zhu was ultimately too kind-hearted.
