Chapter 127 Understated Luxury
Han Xuemei's little face turned red as she nodded.
All of this was witnessed by Han Xuemei standing behind.
"It's Xue Mei, isn't it?" the Han family's old lady said, looking at Han Xuemei behind her, suddenly speaking up.
Only after being called out did Han Xue react, hastily recalling her purpose and then quickly smiling and saying, "Grandma, today is your birthday, Xue Mei wishes you the same joy you find today, every year and every age!"
The Han family's old lady's face burst into a smile, "Good, good, good, have a seat quickly."
Han Xuewei's mother and Lin Yi's mother were holding the older and younger brothers, while Han Xuewei was holding her little daughter, Mengmeng.
The three of them, each with a milk bottle in hand. Han Xuewei's mother even turned her head to say to the Han family's old lady, "Mom, please wait a moment, we'll come out after feeding the milk, otherwise the kids are going to cry later."
The old Mrs. Han reluctantly withdrew her hand from pinching the baby's little face and said with a smile, "Mm, the children's mouths are all puckered up from hunger, go and feed them! You don't have to worry about things here, there are other people."
The two old fathers were busy welcoming guests, receiving gifts from them, and then leading them to wish the old lady happy returns.
Han Xuemei said to the old lady, "Then I would like to take a look, too, as today is my first time seeing the baby."
After listening to her, the old lady also smiled and said, "Mm, then you go take a look! Don't just watch the excitement, you need to hurry up for me too, I'm waiting to see your children in the future!"
Hearing grandma actually hurrying her, Han Xuemei's face instantly turned red, but shyly said, "Oh, Grandma, I don't even have a boyfriend yet..."
Having said that, she followed Lin Yi and the others and ran off, while the old Mrs. Han watched everyone leave with a face full of kindly warmth.
Lin Yi led everyone to a private room, but to his reluctance, Han Xuemei had the nerve to follow them in.
Perhaps it was because the first impression was so bad that he always felt Han Xuemei was approaching with an ulterior motive and deep down did not like her, but she was Han Xuewei's cousin, so he couldn't be too obvious with his attitude.
Lin Yi guarded Han Xuewei like this, and the entering Han Xuemei wasn't a stranger, so she simply started feeding the milk.
At that time, Han Xuemei approached the babies, watching them with a beaming smile.
Seeing this scene, Han Xuewei's mother laughed and asked, "Xuemei, you should find a partner too, right? At least start dating, let us also hold your baby. We're moving to Xiangcheng later, the old lady loves children so much, and later she'll be waiting for you to bring your children to see her."
Upon hearing these words, Han Xuemei's expression suddenly became much dimmer.
Ha, your whole family is going to develop in Xiangcheng, leaving us behind? Do we have to live here forever? Can't I, Han Xuemei, go to a bigger city like you?
Impossible!
I will never stay here forever!
Han Xuemei just smiled faintly and then said, "I also think about going to a broader city to broaden my horizons just like my sister, and I hope to find my own Prince Charming just like her, preferably as outstanding as my cousin-in-law."
After hearing this, Han Xuewei's mother was slightly taken aback, clearly not expecting her to say such a thing.
If it were someone else, they certainly would have exchanged pleasantries first before saying that they are still young and can't find a suitable match so soon. However, from Han Xuemei's words, it wasn't hard to tell that her desire was just too strong!
But Han Xuewei's mom didn't say much, replying with a simple, "After all, she's young. It's only right for her to go out and see the world."
Yet, this statement took on a different meaning in Han Xuemei's eyes, "Heh, your son-in-law's qualifications are so good, but I haven't heard you say anything about helping me. You're really being petty, huh? Tch! Selfish!"
About fifteen minutes later, all three babies had begun their post-meal nap, with Aunt Wang and the two Maternity Matrons watching over them as they slept.
The little ones had gotten up early this morning and had also been in the car for so long. They must have been extremely tired, so it was a good opportunity for them to get some good sleep.
The others came out to keep the old lady company. They took their seats at the largest main table. When the old lady saw everyone return, she asked with a smile, "How did the children feed? Are they all asleep now?"
Han Xuewei's mom quickly responded, "Mom, they're sleeping soundly now. They should wake up just after we finish eating."
The old lady nodded in satisfaction and said, "Later on, bring the children out. I have some gifts for them! As soon as I heard you were coming, I specially prepared three red envelopes. I must hand them over personally."
Han Xuewei's mom said with a laugh, "Mom, you've really gone to a lot of trouble."
It was rare for the old lady to show such fondness for the babies, and Han Xuewei's mom felt truly happy from the bottom of her heart.
By around noon, all eighty-eight tables in the hall were filled with guests. At the front and center, an eye-catching bright red "Shou" character stood out, making for a grand scene!
Especially magnificent!
Looking around the venue, the entire decor was in a traditional Chinese style. Although it wasn't as opulent as a star-rated hotel, the grandeur was certainly luxurious.
The guests invited were also extraordinary, at least being somewhat well-known and wealthy from various industries.
Han Xuewei's father, Han Xinmin, didn't actually like to make a big deal out of events. He preferred to keep a low profile, and nowadays, he focused all his attention on the three babies.
Even today's gathering was simply out of obligation, and his main intent was to greet the guests who had dealings with him from time to time.
He also had it figured out that he wanted to step back from business within the next few years to concentrate on taking care of his family, as the future belonged to the younger generation and he would eventually step out of the market.
Gradually, he planned to hand over all his shops in Xiaochuan County to his relatives. Moreover, he had been busy recently training several capable assistants.
As for everything in Xiangcheng, he would let his daughter and son-in-law take over. Whether the future was bright or grim, the restaurant would belong to them. The main store opened in Xiangcheng would serve as their wedding gift!
Amidst everyone's discussion, a relative from the Han family suddenly asked, "Logically, as Han Xinmin's son-in-law, Lin Yi should be presenting a congratulatory gift to the old lady. Why hasn't it appeared yet?"
"That's unknown. Maybe he already gave something in advance."
"Pssh, listen to you. Han Xinmin's son-in-law's family is quite wealthy; they can afford to give a villa of more than nine hundred square meters in the city center. Would they lack such small gifts?"
Lin Yi's father, overhearing the guests' comments, immediately got worked up. He quickly urged his son to call the jewelry store and ask when the items they had selected yesterday would be delivered.
