1817: Family Banquet

Family Banquet

This year's Chinese New Year clashed with Valentine's Day.2

After getting discharged from the hospital, Mo Fei returned to the Ding family to live the life of a daughter from a wealthy family—that made her severely uncomfortable. Mo Fei also met that legendary cousin of hers who nearly got beaten up by her.

The Ding family was considered a prestigious family in B City. They were rich for several generations and were considered a big family. The old mistress of the Ding family was still around. Thus, the family would naturally have a reunion during the New Year.

Mo Fei stayed in her room and stared at the cosmetics and skincare products on the table that caused her brain to swell. She fiddled with the cosmetics out of boredom. If she continued to stay in this house, she might go crazy.

However, her mother's kindness became her biggest obstacle. She was afraid of making her mother sad.

However, this room full of pink and lacey designs... Was this meant to kill her?

Where did her father get the idea that a young lady would definitely like these things?

Knock, knock, knock—

"Come in," Mo Fei lay down on the table and said weakly. Now, she wanted to go out and find someone to fight with, like Qian Yikun.

However, after Qian Yikun was discharged from the hospital, he had been dealing with the matter concerning the children. Rumors had it that he had not been home for a week now, and he was still leading the search around.

Ding Junhui pushed the door open and entered. He looked at Mo Fei, who was lying on the table, and chuckled before closing the door. Then, he went over to sit on her princessy bed. "Grandma and Eldest Uncle are here."

Mo Fei turned around and supported her chin with one hand. "Do you think it's appropriate for me to jump out of the window now?"

She really hated this kind of social interaction. Yet, the Ding family was such a big family.

After interacting with Mo Fei for more than a month, Ding Junhui could roughly understand Mo Fei's character. She was always unconventional and utterly different from them. When she went down the stairs, she would not go down properly. Instead, she would slide down the railing. Every time she was discovered, she would pretend to behave.

Sometimes, she would even jump down from the third floor, scaring their mother so much that she screamed.

Ding Junhui shrugged. "Maybe not."

"I don't like this kind of situation," Mo Fei said angrily. "What if I offend those people?"

Mo Fei knew herself well? Her parents treated her well and indulged her because she was their daughter? Furthermore, they felt guilty towards her, so they treated her well carefully.

Yet, who could be sure that her Great Uncle, Grandmother, or aunts would welcome her return?

Ding Junhui looked at Mo Fei's angry expression and got up to squat beside her. "Don't you still have me and Big Brother? It doesn't matter even if you offend them. Just don't make yourself suffer." As Ding Junhui spoke, he held Mo Fei's hand. "Just treat it as going out to take a look. It's good enough to show them your face."

Mo Fei was not an idiot. Ding Junhui did not talk much about their grandmother. That proved that the old mistress did not like her as a granddaughter at all. After all, Ding Jiaqi was around. She already had enough grandchildren. There was no need for another one.

Furthermore, in the entire month when Mo Fei was here, this grandmother of hers had never visited. Was that not self-explanatory?

Her two older brothers, Ding Junhui and Ding Junqi, treated her really well. Ding Junqi had recently gone to prepare for his new movie. He had gone to a few cities with large limestone caves, and every time he came back, he would bring back many little things for her. Ding Junqi knew that she had seen a lot of things, so he brought back some new things.

Mo Fei thought that he was treating her like a child.

A little girl who still needed toys.

Other than going to school for lessons, Ding Junhui spent more time with her because he was worried that she would be bored and reserved at home.

The people in this family treated her very well, but the people who came today might not welcome her that much.
