Chapter 519: Chapter 519: Returning to Shanghai to Hold the Full Moon Banquet

Xu Shengshun walked over, knelt on the ground as Uncle Xu had instructed, and kowtowed three times towards Grandpa Xu and Grandma Xu, "Thank you, Grandpa and Grandma, for taking care of our family."

Grandpa Xu immediately frowned, "Don’t listen to your father’s nonsense. Even without me and your grandma, your dad could still support this family."

Uncle Xu, covering his face in pain, shook his head, "Without the help of Mom and Dad, our family would probably have fallen apart.

"Your mother is good, and your wife is even better. Despite how you were, your wife still chose to marry unconditionally into our family.

"You must treat her well in the future, and not just her, but also your uncle’s family. They have supported our family a lot over the years, especially your cousin. She used to be quite disobedient,

"always fighting with her parents over a sent-down youth, but thankfully, Yingying came to her senses and has changed a lot over the years.

"I always say that the Old Xu Family is full of clever people, and we owe a lot to the medicine Yingying found for your illness.

"I’m telling you, when you start working with Director Gu, you have to make it big, but no matter how successful you become, you must treat your cousin and your wife well.

"No matter what, you can’t hurt their feelings. If you truly end up hurting them, I will disown you as my son," Uncle Xu said sternly.

Xu Shengshun quickly nodded and agreed.

Seeing his son agree, Uncle Xu then staggered into the house.

Whatever temptations and interests he faced there, he hoped his son would always be grateful and never forget his roots.

After this incident, the rural tourism in Xujia Village gained even more fame.

Yu County’s food factory even put promotional images of Xujia Village rural tourism inside their packaging, attracting many visitors. Not only that, but Anthony was also very curious about this so-called rural tourism.

He flew directly to Huaxia, and after disembarking, he went straight to seek out Xu Ying.

School had already started for Xu Ying, and initially, a nanny was taking care of the children while Mrs. Xu oversaw the resolution of the rural tourism issue.

Once it was resolved, she took a train to Shanghai. As soon as Mrs. Xu got off the train, she was captivated by the skyscrapers of Shanghai.

Unlike the small buildings in the county, the buildings in Shanghai were much taller. Moreover, the nighttime in Shanghai was even more dazzling with colorful lights adorning thousands of buildings, a sight to behold.

Upon reaching Xu Ying’s home, Mrs. Xu didn’t sit idle but started tidying the house and taking care of the children.

"Mom, Huo Chen and I plan to go to Beijing tomorrow. His dad wants us to bring the children to Beijing for the baby’s first-month celebration. Do you want to come with us?" Xu Ying came home from school with Huo Chen and Anthony.

Seeing the foreigner behind her, Mrs. Xu was full of surprise, "This foreigner, I’ve seen him before.

"He even visited your factory before and spoke up for you," Mrs. Xu said excitedly.

Her gaze fixed closely on Anthony, seeing a foreigner from such a close distance for the first time.

The house nanny was also shocked upon seeing Anthony; she came here to nanny, knowing only that the lady of the house was a student and the man owned a store, never expecting that the family knew a foreign friend.

Having an overseas friend in those days was a big deal, due to the immense wealth gap, and foreigners were often unfriendly towards Huaxians.

"Yes, auntie, my name is Anthony." Anthony’s awkward Chinese made Mrs. Xu laugh.

"Hello, I am Xu Ying’s mother," Mrs. Xu said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Anthony immediately flashed a smile and complimented, "Xu is as beautiful as you are."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Xu couldn’t help but beam with joy.

Thinking of the words her daughter had just spoken, Mrs. Xu immediately nodded in agreement to join, as she had come here to look after her grandson and granddaughter.

Now that the two children were to be taken to Beijing, she would undoubtedly follow.

"I’ll go, I’ll go. Your dad, really, didn’t want to come to our place for the full-moon celebration previously.

Now he wants to go through all the trouble to hold it on their side, really clueless," Mrs. Xu complained heatedly.

How could Granny Huo, who had raised Huo Chen, not expect his father to visit during the New Year? It was disappointing enough that he didn’t show up, but not even a gift was sent.

It was truly improper.

Hearing that her own mother was also going, Xu Ying broke into laughter, having already briefed Mrs. Xu in advance about Zhang Yuhua.

When Mrs. Xu heard that Zhang Yuhua was a friend of a mother, her expression immediately turned strange, especially upon learning that her son-in-law also had a brother just a few months younger.

Mrs. Xu nearly retched with disgust: "That woman must have been seducing your man’s father while Huo Chen’s mother was still alive.

Those two are really no good, concocting such schemes behind Huo Chen’s mother’s back, they deserve to die."

Indeed, good people don’t last, Mrs. Xu thought, feeling indignant on behalf of Zhou Yuelian.

Anthony, not understanding what they were discussing but vaguely hearing that they planned to go out, looked at Xu Ying with anticipation: "Xu, may I join you?"

Xu Ying, somewhat speechless upon hearing this, replied, "We are hosting a full-moon celebration for the children, why would you want to go?"

Upon hearing this, Anthony seemed displeased: "Xu, I’ve prepared gifts for your children, can’t I attend the celebration?"

Upon hearing about the gifts, Xu Ying became interested: "It’s not like you can’t come, but most attendees will be our local friends. I just don’t want you to feel out of place and have that affect your mood."

Hearing Xu Ying caring so deeply about him, Anthony immediately shook his head with joy: "No need, I love Huaxian cuisine, I’ll just enjoy some good food."

Hearing this, Xu Ying agreed without hesitation.

The next morning, Xu Ying and Huo Chen set off for Shanghai.

This trip was not just for the children’s full-moon celebration but also to settle some longstanding grievances, and the Zhou family would naturally not be absent.

Their past displacement was partly the result of Zhang Yanlin and his friends.

Zhang Yanlin had gone to the arranged banquet place early in the morning, and was extremely excited to hear that the Zhou family would be attending.

With the Zhou family present, some influential figures in Shanghai would also give them face and join, making it a perfect networking opportunity for Zhang Yanlin.

Xu Ying and Huo Chen arrived at the banquet place before noon, where Zhang Yanlin greeted them excitedly: "When will your grandparents arrive?"

Huo Chen, seeing his enthusiasm, smiled faintly: "They should be here soon."

"Oh, Director Liu, you’ve come too, please come in."

"And there’s Factory Director Yang, please, come in."

Zhang Yanlin was unable to hide his continuous smile as he saw the significant personalities arriving.

Zhang Yuhua looked on with jealousy, unable to believe that despite being displaced, the Zhou family still had so many willing to associate with them; they were truly indestructible cockroaches.

She smiled as she welcomed the guests, while anxiously scanning the distance.
