Chapter 247 Upgraded Generation

When Jin Jin led the Shen family inside, there were already quite a few people in the large hall.

They stood in twos and threes, talking quietly.

Those who received invitations today are certainly not ordinary people, so everyone is expanding their social network.

"Which family is that? It was actually brought in personally by the eldest son of the Jin family."

They usually just greeted each other at the door and walked in on their own; this was the first time Jin Jin had personally led people in.

"It seems to belong to the Shen family. I saw it from afar once before."

"The Shen family? Is it that Shen family?"

"Which other Shen family in the port city can command the personal attention of the Jin family patriarch?"

The conversation in the hall quieted down when the Shen family entered, then resumed with a rustling sound.

Everyone was talking about the Shen family, and those who knew them were even more curious about Lu Chenyue and his group following behind them.

"Brother, congratulations!"

The elderly Jin couple sat in the private room, surrounded by several younger family members chatting and laughing.

As soon as Shen Huaqiang spoke, the Jin family members stood up one after another. Old Master Jin even took a few steps over and hugged Shen Huaqiang.

Although the two are more than 10 years apart in age, they are true brothers and have witnessed each other's journey from nothing to the top.

Madam Jin warmly grasped Xiang Jia Hui's hand, expressing her longing for her.

The younger members of the Jin family stood behind them and greeted the two.

After exchanging pleasantries, Xiang Jiahui formally introduced her daughter, son-in-law, and niece to everyone.

"Good, good, good, Pearl is finally back. You have no idea how hard your parents and brothers have been since you left."

When Mr. Jin recalled those days, his eyes welled up with tears.

"You old man, why bring this up on such a joyous occasion? Now that Pearl is back, it's all in the past."

Grandma Jin slapped him on the back, forcefully interrupting his emotional outburst.

"Yes, yes, look at me, I couldn't help myself for a moment, Pearl, please don't mind."

"Uncle Jin, I know everything, but thankfully it's not too late now."

Shen Wanning smiled; he could understand the old man's feelings.

The Shen family brought out their gifts, and the Jin family naturally prepared gifts for the younger generation as well.

Shen Wanning, Le Bao, and Lu Shulang, in particular, received a lot of gifts when they came to a banquet.

Grandma Jin held Le Bao tightly, reluctant to let go, pinching her chubby hands and plump feet, showing her endless affection.

"How did you raise this child? How did you raise him so well?"

Her great-granddaughter is also 5 years old, but her health is not as good as Le Bao's.

"This child has a big appetite; he eats everything except vegetables."

Shen Wanning was too embarrassed to say that her chubby baby was a real little foodie.

"It's good that you can eat well. Kids are cute when they're chubby."

Le Bao, who was eating a small cake, keenly noticed these two words.

"Grandma, I'm so thin, not fat at all."

"Yes, yes, our baby isn't chubby at all, he needs to eat more!"

That finally calmed the little guy down.

Shen Wanning couldn't bear to look.

"Great-grandmother, great-grandmother."

A little girl ran in from outside, followed by two servants.

She ran up to Old Madam Jin and looked at Le Bao sitting in her lap.

"Who are you?"

The little girl was speaking Cantonese, which Le Bao couldn't understand.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Xinxin, speak Mandarin."

Old Mrs. Jin reminded her.

"Who are you?"

Jin Xin switched to Mandarin.

"I think it's Le Bao."

"Get down."

Jin Xin pulled her.

She has always been the most pampered child in the family, and she has always been the one sitting in her great-grandmother's lap.

Children have a strong sense of possessiveness. Unless they agree to take something away from them, they will snatch it back if someone else does.

"For Senyao?"

Le Bao was still eating and didn't take Jin Xin's words seriously at all.

"This is my great-grandmother."

Jin Xin was about to climb up and push Le Bao away.

"Xinxin, be good. This is your aunt. She's still young, so please let her have her way."

Le Bao's seniority has suddenly increased.

"I don't want her to be my aunt, I already have an aunt."

Jin Xin looked at Le Bao, who was younger than him, and naturally refused to acknowledge her identity.

"Le Bao, you are the aunt, the elder. Come down and let Xin Xin have a place."

Shen Wanning stood up and told Le Bao to come down first.

Normally, given Le Bao's personality, she wouldn't allow it.

But today, since she's an elder, what can we do?

"Here you go, little girl, this is a little gift for you."

Upon hearing that he was an elder, Le Bao immediately adopted the demeanor of one.

She picked up a macaron from the plate and handed it to Jin Xin, looking at him with the affection of an aunt who dotes on her.

Shen Wanning blushed, lowered her head, and stared so hard she wanted to burn a hole in the ground.

You really know how to use someone else's flowers to present to Buddha.

Taking someone else's things on their turf and claiming it's a gift.

Even Zhuge Liang isn't as shrewd as you.

They're stingy but still manage to gain a good reputation.

The adults present all shrugged their shoulders and laughed uncontrollably.

This kid is hilarious.

Jin Xin slapped the macaron out of her hand and glared at her with red eyes.

Le Bao looked at the macarons that had fallen to the ground, slid off Madam Jin's arms, and put her hands on her hips.

"It's wrong to waste mud; farmers work very hard."

She was taught from a young age not to waste food, and this did not change even after she returned to the Lu family.

The Shen family looked at their chubby little boy with satisfaction.

Even the Jin family was shocked by Le Bao's statement.

Their children grew up in luxury and had no awareness of this at all.

They were both shocked and ashamed that a three-year-old child had said this.

"This is my house, I'm going to throw it away."

Jin Xin clearly had no such thoughts either; as she spoke, she deliberately threw the contents of the plate on the ground.

Le Bao's eyes turned red with anger as she looked at the food scattered all over the floor.

Her chest heaved violently, and her small fists were clenched tightly.

Oh no, this guy is about to make a move.

Sure enough, the next second, Le Bao's little hand slapped Jin Xin, who was sitting in Madam Jin's lap.

Fortunately, Shen Wanning knew her daughter well enough to intercept her halfway.

"Baby, Xinxin is still young and is your junior. You can't hit her."

Shen Wanning held her in her arms and stroked her fur.

"She's bad, she's wasteful."

The little guy was so angry he almost cried.

She would even pick up and eat the grains of rice that fell on the table, so naturally she couldn't accept seeing this scene today.

"My niece is still young, we should give her a chance."

What could Shen Wanning do? Of course, she couldn't say anything wrong to the child in front of the parents, so she could only try to explain that the child was still young.

"The baby is small, she is big."

Le Bao can tell who is older and who is younger.

Shen Wanning was speechless. She could only change the subject and say that she would take her out to play.

Grandpa Jin nodded apologetically to them, instructed the servants to take good care of them, and did not stop them from leaving.

After the Shen family left, Old Master Jin looked at his great-granddaughter, who was sitting proudly in Old Madam Jin's lap, and his face darkened.

"Jin Xin, pick up the things on the ground."

The first time he called her by her full name, everyone in the room knew that the old man was truly angry.

The old lady also put the child on the ground, and no longer held her and comforted her as usual.
