Chapter 791: Chapter 791: A Gift

"Who is that?" Mo Jun asked, puzzled.

"Qiao Ao, Kuang Guowen’s biggest competitor. Qiao Ao is very good at public speaking, and he has a lot of support, so both of their chances are looking quite strong right now," Hua Ling explained.

Mo Jun didn’t quite understand politics, so she directly asked Hua Ling, "Who has a better chance of winning?"

"As of now, of course, it’s our Mayor Kuang. But the political arena is unpredictable — you never know who the ultimate winner is until the last moment!"

As they reached this point in the conversation, Hua Ling suddenly exclaimed with joy, "Sister Yu is here!"

Mo Jun turned to look and saw Xia Yu, arm in arm with Pei Yuanze, descending the stairs.

Seeing the two of them, everyone was amazed.

"Such a match of talent and beauty..."

"More than a match of talent and beauty, the union of the Xia Family and the Pei Family is like a match made in heaven, perfectly suited for one another."

"I heard Miss Xia is even pregnant now, so it’s double happiness for both families."

"Mr. Xia, congratulations to you, your Xia Family and the Pei Family are about to welcome a new member soon."

"Hahaha, thank you..." Xia Zhongtang listened to the chorus of congratulations with great pleasure.

His greatest wish now was for Xia Yu to give birth to a son, securing the family’s future lineage.

"Father, today is your 60th birthday, your daughter wishes you happiness as vast as the Eastern seas and a long life akin to the Southern mountains..." Xia Yu approached Xia Zhongtang and wished him respectfully with a smile.

Pei Yuanze also offered his blessings, "Father-in-law, I too wish you happiness as vast as the Eastern seas and longevity like the Southern mountains."

"Hahaha, but what I desire even more is a house full of children and grandchildren. And, of course, your matrimonial happiness!" Xia Zhongtang said joyfully.

Xia Yu smiled faintly, managing to conceal the sadness in her eyes.

However, her sorrow did not escape Pei Yuanze’s gaze, and as he looked towards her, he caught a fleeting glimpse of her sadness.

A flicker of emotion passed through Pei Yuanze’s eyes. He thought that Xia Yu was saddened by their impending divorce...

If possible, he didn’t want the divorce either, at least not before it could maintain the face of both families.

But seeing Xia Yu so unhappy with him, he felt he had no choice but to let go.

As for himself, it didn’t really matter whether they were divorced or not...

Because of the number of people present, Xia Yu only stopped by to greet Mo Jun and the others briefly before going to attend to other guests.

Mo Jun and the others didn’t mind and found a spot to sit down and eat.

Hua Ling also stayed by their side, unfazed even by Hao Yansen’s cold demeanor.

The three of them probably felt out of place here, since they had no intention of mingling with the rest of the guests.

Xia Zhongtang was especially happy today, and seeing her father so happy made Xia Yu happy as well.

She finally understood why Pei Yuanze wanted to wait until after her father’s birthday celebration to divorce her; if they had divorced earlier, her father definitely wouldn’t have been as cheerful today.

"Master, someone outside has sent a gift over, saying it’s a very important gift and that you must open it yourself. Moreover, the gift is quite large, and we weren’t sure how to handle it, so we’ve come to ask for your direction," suddenly a servant came over and said to Xia Zhongtang.

Some of the people around heard this as well.

Xia Zhongtang asked with curiosity, "What kind of gift is it, do you know?"

"We don’t know, but we’ve checked it, and there are no dangerous substances or precious metals."

Hearing the servant say this, Xia Zhongtang wasn’t worried anymore.
