Chapter 481: Chapter 480: Precious

Gu Yaozhong naturally noticed his wife’s gaze, and with forced restraint of his anger, he tugged at Zhuang Caixin and said, "Let’s eat quickly, don’t we have something to do later? The sooner we finish, the sooner we can go."

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Caixin was taken aback. She couldn’t remember having any other plans, but upon seeing her husband’s somber expression, she didn’t ask further and started eating swiftly.

The banquet was relatively simple, so it ended quickly.

After standing up, everyone said goodbye to Old Master Ding and Ding Yuejun.

After finishing his meal, Huang Yanquan also smiled and bid farewell to Ding Yuejun, "Boss Ding, happy birthday, wish you health and peace, and always stay this beautiful."

Upon hearing this, Ding Yuejun laughed outright, "Thank you for your kind words." After all, every woman hopes to remain eternally youthful.

Seeing Ding Yuejun this pleased, Huang Yanquan also smiled.

This scene happened to be witnessed by Zhuang Caixin, who suddenly recalled what her brother had said to her. She scrutinized Huang Yanquan with full attention. This might be Ding Yuejun’s little lover, right? He indeed looks decent, but she wondered what he actually does for a living, planning to investigate properly.

Seeing his wife like this, Gu Yaozhong directly pulled her.

"Let’s go."

Recalling what happened before they arrived, his expression was full of anger. Despite saying so much to his wife earlier, she didn’t listen at all and still introduced Zhuang Xinhai to Ding Yuejun. How were they so confident that the Ding family would be impressed by someone like Zhuang Xinhai? If Zhuang Xinhai weren’t his brother-in-law, he wouldn’t even bother to look at him. How could the Ding family be interested in such a person?

When they were about to leave earlier, Zhuang Xinhai happened to come over. Upon learning that they were going to a birthday banquet, he shamelessly wanted to join. He naturally refused, which caused some delay.

When her husband pulled her, Zhuang Caixin snapped out of her daze, and then directly said, "I was just looking, what’s the rush? Besides, we don’t have any urgent matters."

At this moment, Qu Yiqi came over, smiling and said, "Oh, didn’t I hear you guys saying you have something to do later? Why haven’t you gone back yet? Be careful not to miss it."

Hearing Qu Yiqi’s words, Zhuang Caixin paused. She recalled what her husband had just said, unexpectedly Qu Yiqi specifically came to remind them. Why did it feel like she was targeting her? As far as she knew, there was no conflict between them.

Then Qu Yiqi said again, "Since you have things to do, you should hurry back."

Gu Yaozhong naturally didn’t want to stay longer, so he pulled his wife and they left.

Qu Yiqi looked in the direction of Ding Yuejun, and naturally saw Huang Yanquan, she couldn’t help but furrow her brows slightly.

This man was said to be Ding Yuejun’s business friend, but she didn’t know what he actually did. He looked quite handsome, but seeing how young he was, she didn’t think much beyond noting that young people nowadays are quite excellent.

Meanwhile, Huang Yanquan and Ding Yuejun wrapped up their conversation. He waved with a smile and said, "Boss Ding, see you next time."

Ding Yuejun smiled and nodded.

After Huang Yanquan left, Qu Yiqi came over and said, "Yue Jun, happy birthday. I didn’t have the chance to speak much with you earlier; next time come to my house when you have time. I don’t have anyone to talk to usually, so if you have free time you must come and keep me company."

Hearing this, Ding Yuejun naturally smiled and nodded, "Alright."

Seeing Ding Yuejun agree, Qu Yiqi was even happier and chatted a bit more before finally leaving, along with Fei Er Ya who had spoken a few words with Yiyi earlier and also left.

Then, the Song Chi couple also came forward to bid farewell, and finally the Chu family’s group chatted nicely with Ding Yuejun before leaving.

Ding Yating’s family didn’t say goodbye to Ding Yuejun, instead they were speaking with Old Master Ding.

"Dad, it’s almost New Year, I want to spend it at home."

Hearing his younger daughter’s words, Old Master Ding frowned, "Didn’t you always spend New Year at the Shu family before? Why are you planning to spend it at your mother’s house this time? It seems somewhat inappropriate." After all, the younger daughter was married and should spend New Year at her husband’s home.

At this point Shu Mingbo spoke up from the side, "Dad, we always have Yating stay with us for New Year, it’s only right she comes to accompany you. So this year, Yunfang and I will come together to accompany you too."

Having the chance to get close to Old Master Ding naturally prompted them to come.

After considering for a while, Old Master Ding finally nodded and said, "Since you’ve decided, then come to the house for New Year."

Upon hearing Old Master Ding’s agreement, Shu Mingbo was very pleased and quickly nodded, "Alright Dad, we’ll come over on New Year’s Eve and head back on the second day."

Old Master Ding didn’t say much upon hearing this, only commented, "Alright, do as you see fit."

After Ding Yating’s family left, most others had also left, leaving only Mr. Gu and his family.

Gu Tingyu came forward and looked at Ding Yuejun, saying, "Mom, I will send Grandpa and them back first, and then come back later."

Upon hearing this, Ding Yuejun smiled and nodded, "Okay, then go quickly."

Old Master Ding said indifferently, "If you’re busy, no need to come back." Thinking about his granddaughter being married to Gu Tingyu, made him feel a bit uneasy.

"Grandpa, no worries, I’m actually taking a break these days, so I’m not busy," Gu Tingyu said with a smile, and then went to send Mr. Gu and the others back.

Once Gu Tingyu and his group departed, Old Master Ding and the mother-daughter pair of Yiyi went inside. At that moment, Ding Yuejun brought out the gifts from others, recording them one by one for future reciprocity.

However, upon seeing the gift from Huang Yanquan, she was uncontrollably surprised.

"This... Mr. Huang is really too polite; this gift is indeed a bit too valuable." Although she wasn’t very knowledgeable about diamonds, looking at the large diamond necklace before her, she knew it must be expensive.

Yiyi was also surprised by the gift from Huang Yanquan.

Old Master Ding frowned and said, "I seem to have seen this necklace at a small auction before. Didn’t expect it ended up with that young man. Although I didn’t notice the price at the time, I vaguely remember it wasn’t cheap, at least eight hundred thousand."

"What... it’s so expensive."

Now Ding Yuejun was even less likely to accept it. She hurriedly closed the lid and said, "I’ll return it to Mr. Huang tomorrow; this gift is indeed too extravagant."
