Poverty truly restricts one’s imagination.
Before coming here, Xia Yinian truly could not imagine that a family dinner could be so extravagant!
"Nian Nian is here." The Old Madam spotted Xia Yinian walking with Gu Lingqian from afar and swiftly waved at her, "Co over."
Gu Lingqian imdiately took Xia Yinian’s hand and led her to the center of the banquet hall.
As soon as she arrived, countless gazes instantly fell on Xia Yinian.
Those attending the banquet tonight were mostly from the Gu Family.
The Old Madam does not like overly bustling scenes, otherwise, there would have been far more people.
"Let introduce everyone, this is our family’s new mber, Nian Nian."
It was evident that the Old Madam liked Xia Yinian very much. Regardless of her status, her position within the family was already established.
With the announcent tonight, the Old Madam solidified Xia Yinian’s position within the Gu Family.
At least, she could sit on equal footing with Gu Qingqing and Gu Ziqi.
Complicated gazes lingered on Xia Yinian from the corners of the room.
Xia Yinian knew there were many family mbers she hadn’t t.
It was uncertain if they were present tonight; the family was too large and the relationships too complex.
For a while, she probably wouldn’t be able to recognize all her relatives.
The Old Madam took Xia Yinian around, showing off her future granddaughter-in-law with pride.
Xia Yinian could only follow her around with a stiff upper lip.
Facing all the well-dressed and elegant ladies, like Madam, Second Madam, Third Madam, Cousin’s Wife, and so on, was absolutely dizzying.
Because the Old Madam was present, Third Madam Guan Xiaoxue, despite lacking any warmth towards Xia Yinian, at least did not cause any trouble.
The other ladies, facing the Old Madam, were reasonably friendly to Xia Yinian.
However, what they thought privately, no one knew.
These people all had their sches, and they were complicated at heart.
They were even more complex than the Xia Family.
Xia Yinian was aware that everyone had their motives, but she never bothered about things she couldn’t control.
After accompanying the Old Madam around, they finally returned to their places.
"Nian Nian, let introduce you to a few uncles," the Old Madam pulled Xia Yinian to sit beside her.
This action was truly enviable.
It was well known that the spot beside the Old Madam was always occupied by soone specific.
Mr. Gu Haofeng couldn’t help but joke: "Mom, are you not worried Seventh will be upset with you letting this girl take his spot?"
The Old Madam glanced at him, still tightly holding Xia Yinian’s hand.
"Seventh is not so petty. Don’t slander him."
Only then did Xia Yinian realize that seating in this large family was significant... was she sitting in the place of this family’s Seventh Mister?
It seed that this legendary Seventh Mister was the most favored of the Old Madam’s many sons.
Just as they were speaking, a commotion occurred at the main door of the banquet hall as if triggered by soone’s arrival.
Gu Lingqian glanced towards the door, then suddenly stood up and smiled, "He’s back."
After saying this, he actually walked over to greet them.
From her position, Xia Yinian couldn’t see who was at the door and hesitated whether she should also stand up to greet them.
Seeing Gu Lingqian’s behavior, it was clear that the Gu Family held an absolute high status.
He hadn’t acted this way for the other uncles.
