The tycoon's wicked wife from the era of literature has been reborn.

Jiang Baohai brought his family to the Zhizhen Hotel.

Today, this is the only banquet being held at the hotel, and most of the guests have already arrived.

Gao Chongyi and Huang Ying are helping to greet relatives and friends.

Fang Xiaoyu was specifically responsible for receiving the company's business partners.

The venue was decorated in a lively style, with streamers, balloons, and dolls filling the entire space.

For those who bring children, each child will receive an extra colored balloon.

There was also a special children's play area at the entrance of the venue, where the kids were having a blast.

Although my daughter is only one and a half months old and can't play with these things yet.

But when Jiang Baohai looked at those happy children, he felt a sense of satisfaction, as if they had already played the games for his daughter.

Gao Qinghe hadn't been out for so long that she didn't even know when a new big hotel had opened in the county town.

Before entering, I took a special look at the sign: Zhizhen Grand Hotel, a name I'd never seen before in my life.

"Who opened it? The aesthetics are quite good," Gao Qinghe asked.

The hotel in front of us has an electric revolving door at the entrance, and the lobby is decorated mainly in silver and purple, exuding elegance and understated luxury.

It's completely incomparable to the opulent European style of the Oriental Grand Hotel with its red and gold accents.

This Grand Hotel looks incredibly luxurious.

Jiang Baohai shook his head; he didn't know the name of the boss behind the scenes either.

"However, I heard that the general manager is a returnee from overseas."

Gao Qinghe nodded. "No wonder then, her taste is really good."
As the couple entered the banquet hall, Yan Hong and others immediately gathered around to look at the child.

Jiang Qiyue had just eaten a big meal in the car and was now asleep.

The little one was very considerate; she didn't make a fuss in such a noisy place and went to sleep on her own.

Yan Hong had no daughter, and seeing this soft, fragrant little girl filled her with immense joy.

She urged her husband, Yu Long, to quickly bring over the full-month gift he had prepared for the little one.

Yu Long smiled, but his actions carried an air of detachment. He handed over the items, then stepped back, watching the lively scene alone, lost in thought.

His detached state made Yan Hong a little embarrassed.

But he didn't say anything, and smiled as he slipped two large gold bracelets onto Jiang Qiyue's chubby wrists.

"This is far too valuable!" Gao Qinghe said politely.

Yan Hong glared at her, "You must accept my offer."

Gao Qinghe thanked Aunt Hong on behalf of her daughter and gladly accepted the gift.

Once someone started, everyone took out their gifts for their children, so many that Gao Qinghe and her husband couldn't carry them all, so they quickly called Gao Qingmiao over.

Jiang Baohai handed him the car keys and told him to put the gifts in the car first.

Gao Qinghe asked in surprise, "Didn't you invite Xiao Hong to come along?"

Gao Qingmiao said "Oh" and replied, "She said she'll be here later, so don't wait for her. If she doesn't make it in time, I'll pack it for her."

Carrying a large pile of gifts, the brother and sister gestured for Gao Qingya to help carry some of them before heading out.

Gao Qinghe had a feeling something was wrong, but there were too many people looking after the child to pay attention to it. The couple carried the child and walked around the banquet hall for a long time.

Huang Yanqiu and her family of three arrived late, their wallets still slung around their waists, clearly having just dropped off a busload of passengers and rushed over in a hurry.

"Oh no, I left the gift at home!"

As soon as Zheng Xiaopeng entered the room, he saw the dessert table by the door and realized that he hadn't taken the gift. He looked at Huang Yanqiu with a cautious expression.

Huang Yanqiu rolled her eyes at him, took her daughter in her hands, and her disdainful look was almost as if she wanted to scold him for being good for nothing and good for making trouble.

Zheng Xiaopeng tentatively suggested, "How about I take a taxi back to get it?"

"never mind."

Thank goodness it was her cousin; if it were anyone else, it wouldn't have been so easy to resolve. Signaling her useless husband to follow, Huang Yanqiu, carrying her daughter, found Gao Qinghe with a beaming smile.

When Xue'er saw Qi Yue, she was so excited that she screamed and drooled uncontrollably.

Zheng Xiaopeng quickly grabbed the bib around his daughter's neck and wiped away the drool to salvage her image.

Gao Qinghe and Huang Yanqiu exchanged a glance. Your husband is quite good at taking care of the kids.

When it comes to their child, Huang Yanqiu has nothing but praise for Zheng Xiaopeng as a father.

He nodded in agreement, a rare gesture of approval.

Zheng Xiaopeng was flattered and couldn't help but smile, feeling quite happy.

It was almost time, so Gao Qinghe invited the couple to take their seats and prepare for dinner.

I sat down at the table with my family.

After settling his business partners and several former superiors, Jiang Baohai took his seat in the place his wife had specially reserved for him.

The waiter pushed a food cart to serve the dishes.

It took seven or eight trips to serve all the dishes.

Fang Xiaoyu counted the dishes and found they all matched. Just as she was about to tell the head chef to leave, another food cart was pushed in.

The food cart was filled with bottles of red wine that, judging from their packaging, were not cheap.

A handsome young man in a gray suit, who looked like a manager, followed behind the food cart.

Fang Xiaoyu thought he looked familiar at first glance, but after trying hard to remember, he couldn't recall where he had seen him before.

Just as they were wondering, Gao Qinghe and Jiang Baohai, a married couple, suddenly stood up.

Gao Qinghe pointed in surprise at the newcomer, then at the hotel banquet hall in front of her.

"Gu Jingzhou! So you're the general manager of this Zhizhen Grand Hotel?"

The handsome manager smiled slightly, deliberately ignoring her, and gestured to the waiter to bring the red wine to the table.

Jiang Baohai asked in confusion, "This wine?"

"Don't worry, it's a gift from the hotel. Congratulations to President Jiang and his wife on the birth of their daughter," Gu Jingzhou said.

Jiang Baohai smiled unexpectedly, decisively pulled his brother-in-law aside, and invited Gu Jingzhou to join them for dinner.

Gao Qingmiao glanced pitifully at her sister, received a gentle, comforting look from her sister, and readily sat down at an empty seat at another table, giving up her place.

Gu Jingzhou didn't stand on ceremony and sat down.

Gao Chongyi was holding the child next to him. When Gu Jingzhou looked over curiously, he asked him if he wanted to hold the child.

Gu Jingzhou hurriedly waved his hand, "No need, no need."

Actually, it's because the child is too small, and I'm afraid to hold him.

His older brother also had two children, but he completely missed the infancy period and had no experience holding such small children.

Moreover, judging from Jiang Baohai's petty and overbearing gaze, he would definitely be angry if his daughter were hurt.

Unexpectedly, Gao Chongyi was very generous and taught him how to hold a baby step by step.

"Look, just support her neck with one hand and cushion her bottom with the other, and you can hold her securely."

Gu Jingzhou nervously licked his lips and carefully took the child from him.

A soft, fluffy thing nestled against your chest, seemingly disturbed by the noise. It groggily lifted its eyelids, revealing a pair of dark, grape-like eyes looking at you. It grinned and smiled.

Gu Jingzhou looked at Gao Qinghe and Jiang Baohai with surprise, "Your daughter smiled at me! She must like me!"
Jiang Baohai felt a pang of sadness, but managed to maintain a polite smile.

Gao Qinghe joked, "Looks like she's a girl who likes handsome guys too."

Gu Jingzhou held the child for a while, then returned her to her maternal grandfather.

As a result, the little guy neither fussed nor cried, but just stared at him with wide eyes for a long time.

Gu Jingzhou met Jiang Baohai's wary gaze and suppressed the urge to steal the child for the fifteenth time. (End of Chapter)
