Most of the big shots who had achieved their current success were not young anymore. They loved children, wanted to hold their grandchildren, and enjoyed the joys of family life. Now, seeing the adorable Xiao Xiaojun and Xiao Xiaoling, their hearts melted with cuteness. They wished that their sons or grandsons could give them such cute and adorable grandchildren or great-grandchildren.
So, after this banquet, the families of these bigwigs would probably receive a lot of messages urging them to get married or have children. When they receive these messages, they would probably be completely confused. But that was a story for another time.
“What adorable little babies! This is a gift from Grandpa Zhang to you as we meet.” Chairman Zhang of the Zhang Group presented the two babies with a pair of jade pendants.
It was important to know that in the interstellar era, jade was far more valuable than before. This was because jade was becoming increasingly scarce, making it an extremely precious commodity. The Zhang Group started with jade artifacts and was now one of the empire’s top conglomerates. Therefore, any jade pendant he sold must be of the highest quality.
Therefore, the moment these jade pendants were brought out, they immediately attracted the attention of many people, and made many others envious.
After seeing the children off, Old Zhang wanted to play with them a little more, but another old man suddenly pushed him out. After seeing who it was, he was so angry that he glared and puffed out his beard.
The old man who was crowding around didn’t seem to mind at all. Instead, he laughed and said, “You’ve given out all your gifts, so it’s time for you to leave. I still have to give some.”
“This is a gift from Grandpa Lin to you for our meeting,” the old man said, taking out a pair of longevity locks, each with a small piece of jade attached. The gold longevity locks paired with the jade were extremely beautiful, and it was clear at a glance that they were quite valuable.
“This is a gift from Grandpa Zhou…”
Once someone started, the others, who were also itching to see the children, all stepped forward and teased the two kids with gifts.
Actually, everyone had already handed their gifts to the host at the beginning, and now everyone was giving out interesting little things they carried with them. Seeing how cute the two little babies were, they naturally wanted to give them all the good things.
Even if these were things they carried with them, given their status and position, how could their personal belongings possibly contain anything of bad quality?
Most importantly, the two babies were incredibly accommodating, showering almost everyone who gave them a gift with a radiant smile. This only melted everyone’s hearts, and people were willing to give them all their treasures just to see the babies’ happy faces.
On one side, everyone was happily playing with the babies, while on the other side, a gaze was being cast from afar.
Lin Qingying came with the CEO of a group. From the moment Luo Lingxing appeared with the child, her gaze almost never left the other person. Of course, her gaze was not one of admiration. On the contrary, it was filled with malice and resentment.
She was the female lead in ‘Interstellar Mecha’. She could have won an award for this movie. Even if she didn’t win an award, her popularity would definitely have increased, her value would have increased, and her future career would have been smoother.
However, because of Luo Lingxing, everything was ruined for her. Her leading role was replaced, her career was no longer smooth, and fewer and fewer people wanted to cast her. Even TV dramas almost never invited her to act. In an instant, she fell from being a movie queen to the ground and became a has-been movie queen. Even the number of fans who still remembered her was decreasing. This feeling of going from the spotlight to the shadows was really terrible. All of this was because of Luo Lingxing!
Perhaps people like Lin Qingying always blamed others and never looked for the reasons within themselves. If she hadn’t taken the opportunity to teach Luo Lingxing a lesson, none of this would have happened. In fact, it was all her own fault.
Afterwards, in order to return to the big screen and regain the spotlight, Lin Qingying began to seek out all sorts of powerful backers, even going so far as to sell her body, just to get an opportunity that she had never even dreamed of before. Whenever this happened, her hatred for Luo Lingxing would deepen, almost to the point of being pathological.
This time, she heard that the Han family was going to hold a full moon banquet for their great-grandson, and almost all the celebrities of the upper class would be there. If she could attend, she might be able to snag a rich husband. In that case, she would never have to worry about not having performance opportunities in the future. In order to get such an opportunity, she did not hesitate to sleep with several people, and finally she was brought in by this disgusting fat-headed guy.
At first, Lin Qingying’s gaze was fixed on those talented young men, pondering how to attract their attention and seduce them. However, before she could even put her plan into action, she saw the person she least wanted to see in her life come out carrying a child. All those she had painstakingly tried to attract attention couldn’t help but surround that person. Seeing him being fawned over like a star, Lin Qingying felt her heart filled with resentment, jealousy, and hatred!
Why should I be so lonely while he can be so high and mighty!
She would never let him be so smug. If she couldn’t have him, no one else could!
“President Li, let’s go see the babies too. I didn’t get to see what they look like yet,” Lin Qingying said in a sweet, coquettish voice.
This President Li loved hearing Lin Qingying speak like that. He felt completely melted just hearing it.
“Okay, let’s go take a look.” President Li patted Lin Qingyi’s lower back, took the opportunity to touch her soft buttocks, and then his lewd smile instantly turned into a serious expression. He then led Lin Qingyi forward.
“Major General Han, congratulations on the birth of your son!” President Li said with a smile.
Han Junzhan didn’t know President Li, but since everyone who came to attend his son’s full month celebration was a distinguished guest, he nodded to him as a greeting.
Despite being treated this way, President Li did not feel slighted. On the contrary, he was very happy to receive a response from the other party.
You should know that, given his status, he wouldn’t normally be qualified to attend this full moon celebration. However, their chairman was unable to attend due to other commitments, so he was asked to come in his place. That was why he had the opportunity to stand here. And for him, everyone here was an insurmountable figure. If he could befriend them, it would only benefit him.
Lin Qingying moved forward a little and saw the child in Luo Lingxing’s arms. The child had thick eyebrows, big eyes, delicate features, and rosy skin, making him incredibly cute. Anyone who saw him would find him adorable. Unfortunately, Lin Qingying was an exception. As a result, her hatred for Luo Lingxing had spread to this child. Seeing this child made her feel that her life was even more tragic, and it made her even more unable to let go of her resentment.
However, Lin Qingying could not show any of this. After all, she was not stupid. If she showed her hatred for Luo Lingxing in such a place, she would definitely be the one who got hurt in the end.
“Lin Qingying, congratulations! This baby is so cute. Can I hold him?” Lin Qingying showed her best smile, looking like she really liked the baby.
Upon hearing this, Luo Lingxing looked up at Lin Qingying and was surprised to find that it was this woman. He did not give a reply for a moment.
Lin Qingying’s watery eyes shimmered with a hint of moisture, and with a delicate and cautious expression, she asked again, “Is it not allowed?”
Her appearance could easily evoke pity in men, but unfortunately, everyone present was shrewd and had seen all kinds of women, so they naturally didn’t take Lin Qingying seriously. President Li panicked when Lin Qingying asked his first question and wished he could drag her out.
Whose child is that? He’s the Han family’s precious great-grandson! Didn’t you see that none of those big shots wanted to hold him? How dare she make such a request? If she angered the Han family, she’d be in deep trouble.
President Li was immediately very dissatisfied with Lin Qingying, even somewhat annoyed. However, before he could make a move, he noticed that Luo Lingxing had handed the child to Lin Qingying. President Li’s expression immediately changed from annoyance to smugness.
Look, no one else managed to hold the child, but the person he brought did. What did that mean? It meant he had a lot of face. As a result, President Li’s opinion of Lin Qingying changed instantly. He liked her even more and had long forgotten about Lin Qingying’s rudeness earlier.
Actually, Luo Lingxing didn’t really want Lin Qingying to hold the baby. After all, this woman had a criminal record and a conflict with him, so her intentions weren’t very good. But today was the baby’s one month celebration, and he didn’t want anything unpleasant to happen. Anyway, he was right there, and if this woman didn’t repent and tried to harm his baby, he was absolutely confident that he could stop her. That was why Luo Lingxing handed the baby to Lin Qingying.
Lin Qingying took the child, and before she could even show a smug smile after feeling the envy of those around her, the baby suddenly burst into tears. Her little mouth twitched, her expression was extremely aggrieved, and tears quickly welled up in her big eyes, making all the big shots feel incredibly sorry for her.
Lin Qingying panicked instantly, not knowing why the baby was crying. She was at a loss, but she was actually a little angry. That bitch Luo Lingxing had already ruined her career in the entertainment industry. Now that everyone’s attention was finally back on her, this baby was crying so disrespectfully, as if she had bullied him. But she really hadn’t!
She really did have a grudge between this pair of father and son!
“Why did you suddenly start crying? Oh dear, it’s heartbreaking to see you crying like that,” an elderly woman with gray hair said with concern.
“Baby, don’t cry, look what Grandpa brought you!” Another old man quickly took out a jade ball from his body. He usually played with it when he was bored, and now he wished he could give it to the baby directly, hoping that the baby would stop crying. “…” Everyone started to coax the baby, but Xiao Xiaoling seemed to have suffered a great injustice. His little mouth was always pouting, and his loud crying turned into sobbing. However, these sobs only made everyone feel more sorry for him.
“Is he uncomfortable because you’re holding him? Give him to Luoluo.”
“Yes, let Luoluo hold him. Maybe if he can feel his father’s presence, he will stop crying.”
“…” Everyone chimed in with their opinions, making Lin Qingying’s face flush red with embarrassment. She didn’t want to hold him any longer, so she was about to hand him to Luo Lingxing when she suddenly felt something warm and damp in her arms. Lin Qingying froze, feeling a bad premonition.
“Haha…I was wondering why the baby was crying. It turns out he was holding it in.”
“Oh dear, you naughty baby, look, you’ve peed all over Auntie.”
“It’s good that you peed, otherwise it would be uncomfortable to hold it in. As long as you don’t cry, it’s fine.”
The big shots burst into laughter the moment they saw it, and Xiao Xiaoling finally stopped crying and even laughed along with everyone. As a result, everyone’s mood improved, except for one person, of course.
