Beneath the thick tree trunk sat a round, dark red wooden table and several mahogany chairs, exuding a rustic yet luxurious feel.

Several elderly people with white hair and youthful faces were sitting at a table drinking tea and chatting, occasionally bursting into hearty laughter.

The most eye-catching person in the crowd was an elderly man with a thin face, wearing a traditional Chinese jacket.

The elderly man in the Tang suit was in high spirits and full of energy, with a strong voice that was exceptionally loud.

With the arrival of Mo Zixue and Wang Yueheng.

All eyes in the courtyard immediately fell on the two of them.

Various scrutinizing gazes immediately came over me.

Some of the younger generation, who were the same age as Mo Zixue, showed expressions of surprise.

This was the first time they had seen Mo Zixue, who disliked socializing, bring a man to an elder's birthday banquet.

Moreover, this man is a newly debuted singer who has recently gained considerable fame.

"Little Snow is here!"

"Come and sit with Grandpa for a while!"

Upon seeing his granddaughter arrive, Mo Zhongqing, dressed in a Tang suit, immediately stopped chatting with those around him and looked at his granddaughter with a doting expression, calling out to her.

"Grandpa, this is Wang Yueheng, the one I told you about!"

"Several of his poems have been included in textbooks, and he is currently a member of the Dragon Kingdom Opera Association..."

"After the start of the new semester in September, we'll be Tsinghua University alumni!"...

Mo Zixue quickly approached her grandfather, Mo Zhongqing, and introduced him with a proud expression.

Hello, Grandpa Mo!

"Having learned that you are celebrating your 80th birthday today, I wish you boundless happiness and longevity, may you remain youthful and healthy through the years!"

Wang Yueheng offered his birthday wishes at an inopportune time.

He casually placed the birthday gift he was holding on the table next to him.

"Thank you, very kind young man..."

"Come, sit down and talk."

Listening to his granddaughter's cheerful introduction and Wang Yueheng's birthday wishes, Mo Zhongqing, with his full head of white hair, nodded with a smile.

Then, at Mo Zhongqing's instruction...

Wang Yueheng sat down on the bench next to the old man and started chatting with him, asking and answering questions.

In the crowd not far away.

Several pairs of eyes simultaneously fell on Wang Yueheng, who was new to the area.

A sudden murmur arose.

"So he's Wang Yueheng? He doesn't look like anything special, so why is Xiaoxue so infatuated with him..."

"His singing is quite good, but I read his novel 'Blossoms' yesterday, and I didn't understand it at all."

"Could they be using work as an excuse to date?"

"Maybe, otherwise why would he suddenly come to meet his parents?"

"Hiss~ Could this kid have gotten our Xiaoxue pregnant?!"

"Don't talk nonsense. If Mo Guangjie hears you, he'll beat you to a pulp. He dotes on his little sister the most..."

"By the way, why hasn't Mo Guangjie come back yet? That kid is a special forces captain, and he looks down on people in the entertainment industry the most."

"If he saw Xiaoxue bringing a male celebrity to meet his parents, he would be furious."

"It's like that will-o'-the-wisp boy in Crocs tricked his princess sister, haha!"

"Hehe, that's right, things will get interesting when he gets here..."

Several younger people, around the same age as Mo Zixue, gathered around a separate tea table, discussing in hushed tones.

"Why? Why does Grandpa only dote on her, treating us like outsiders..."

A fashionable woman wearing extravagant earrings stared at the pampered Mo Zixue with a gnashing of jealousy.

The woman's name was Mo Liyan.

Her father, Mo Weicheng, was the second son in the Mo family and the older brother of Mo Zixue's father, Mo Weijiang.

Mo Liyan is Mo Zixue's cousin and also Mo Zhongqing's granddaughter.

Yet she felt that she had never received any affection from this distinguished grandfather.

It was as if the old man poured all his love into the youngest child, Mo Zixue, which was hard for her to accept.

Especially after Mo Liyan was exposed for taking her friends to visit the Forbidden City in a Mercedes-Benz G-Class, which sparked outrage and calls for action from the entire internet.

This grandfather didn't even step in to help her resolve the matter.

In the end, it was his uncle, who had helped him resolve the matter, who was implicated and forced to resign from his original position.

Furthermore, Mo Liyan had brought her boyfriends back several times, but she had never received the same enthusiastic treatment from Wang Yueheng as she did today.

Why is it that Mo Zixue, being a direct descendant of the Mo family, is more favored and loved by her elders than I am?

"Hmph, if you don't give my boyfriend any face, then you won't have any peace either!"

Driven by jealousy.

Mo Liyan simply took out her phone and secretly took a picture of Mo Zixue and Wang Yueheng sitting together.

Then I found a contact in my WeChat contacts and quickly sent the photo to them.
