Chapter 116: Chapter 116: Gift

"Don’t rush. Hot pot is meant to be eaten slowly, it tastes better when you enjoy the conversation over the meal," Xia Yue said leisurely while swishing meat in the pot.

"Yueyue, do yo plan to give that flower to grandpa tomorrow?" Xia Yu asked curiously.

"When do you think I should give it? Today?" Xia Yue asked.

"I think today can work. Give it to him when we visit grandpa and grandma later. I bet grandpa will love it. He might even show it off to his old friends tomorrow," Xia Yu nodded after some thought.

"Then let’s bring it over later. I’m too lazy to care for it anyway." Xia Yue agreed and her curiosity turned to Xia Xi, "Xixi, what’s your gift?"

Xia Xi, who had been quietly eating and listening, looked up after swallowing her food. "It’s a jade charm. I’ve given it a charm to ward off evil spirits."

"Nice! Big brother, what did you get for grandpa?" Xia Yue nodded in appreciation knowing Xia Xi’s capabilities, and then asked Xia Yu about his gift since the value of Xia Xi’s jade was hard to estimate.

"I found a Song Dynasty calligraphy and painting," replied Xia Yu.

"Big brother, you really are rich!" Xia Yue’s eyes went big on hearing his gift.

"Indeed, that calligraphy and painting must be worth tens of millions at least," Xia Xi chimed in.

"Apart from being the General Manager of Nuoxia Group, I do some investing on the side," Xia Yu said with a smile.

"Considering this, my gift seems the least expensive. I hope grandpa likes it." Xia Yue mused that she had only spent a thousand Cosmic Points, equivalent to ten thousand yuan in Xia Longguo’s currency.

"It doesn’t matter how much you spend. What’s important is to make grandpa happy. I know what grandpa likes, and given the rarity and beauty of the Dew Frost Orchid, your gift may be his favorite this year," Xia Yu reasoned, suspecting that this time, Xia Yue’s gift might outshine all the other grandchildren’s gifts.

"Big brother, is there anything we need to be aware of for the banquet tomorrow?" Last time, Xia Xi just had to show up as the guest star, but this time their grandpa was the star of the show, and they as grandchildren might need to entertain guests.

"Just follow Yueyue tomorrow," Xia Yu advised her.

"Xixi, you follow me tomorrow, I promise you won’t get tired," Xia Yue chuckled.

"Hmm?" Xia Xi looked at Xia Yue quizzically.

"Every time there’s a banquet, I manage to position myself where it’s least noticeable. If I encounter anyone, I just smile, nod, then slip away. It’s the most laid-back spot," Xia Yue explained with a grin.

"Exactly. While the rest of us have hardly any rest between smiles, Yueyue always has the most free time." Just as Xia Yue finished speaking, the sound of footsteps at the door hinted that Xia Xin had arrived.

"Yueyue is the best at disappearing at these events," Xia Feng, who trailed behind her, agreed.

The siblings claimed the empty seats.

"Xinxin, Fengfeng, you are back. Have you eaten? Join us," Xia Yue greeted them cheerfully.

"Mhm, mhm, mhm." Xia Xin nodded and picked up her phone to order two more hot pots.

"These two cats are so beautiful! Whose are they?" Xia Feng inquired, noticing the Spiritual Cat and the other cat perched on a chair next to him.

"They’re mine, the lion cat is called Ruo Xue, and the black one is Xuanxuan," Xia Yue introduced with a smile.

"They’re really beautiful, hey? Wait, why are you feeding them hot pot? That’s not good for cats," Xia Xin said with surprise as she leaned over and noticed the food in their bowls.
