"Okay, okay, Father hasn't come yet."

Qi'er's dad is quite enlightened, telling her to just find a chair to sit. So many family members are watching, isn't it embarrassing?

Except for Zi Yu, who is practicing with Feng Yi, the entire main family was present, and the branch family members who should come were all there too.

The family has always hosted lavish birthday feasts annually, usually in a seven-star hotel, but now, due to special circumstances, it is held at home, under the pretext of creating an atmosphere of unity and reunion.

In truth, the family members are well aware of the current situation. The Nangong Family has just relocated to the Federation, and although they are no longer puppets subject to Rekart's official interference, it will take time to recover.

When the branch family members saw Nangong Qi, the eldest daughter of the main house, they couldn't help but feel jealous. Immediately, a gracefully adorned middle-aged woman sat beside her, speaking with undisguised pretense.

"Tsk tsk, isn't this Qi'er sister? Have you prepared any gifts for grandpa's birthday today?"

Nangong Qi didn't want to respond, but for the sake of appearances, she lightly smiled and said, "Of course, it's a secret."

In fact, Nangong Qi originally prepared a gift, but compared to Feng Yi's promise, these so-called gifts seemed insignificant.

"Hehe, why is Qi'er being so modest? Could it be..." Qianrou's eyes narrowed into crescent shapes, appearing close yet subtly belittling.

She suddenly seemed to remember something and quickly pulled a handsome blond man beside her, "By the way, Qi'er, let me introduce him, he is Adrian, my boyfriend."

"Hello, Miss Qi."

Adrian smiled brightly. Although he didn't know Nangong Qi, he was aware that she was the eldest daughter of the Nangong Family, so he didn't act arrogant, but neither was he intimidated.

As the young master of Surge Company, Adrian had seen many big scenes. Honestly, he came here today to support Qianrou.

"Hello."

Nangong Qi replied softly, maintaining her elegant composure.

"Sister Qi'er, Adrian isn't simple. He's the young master of Surge Company, and yesterday, he even took me for a drive," the young cousin, Youyu suddenly ran to Adrian's side, pulling his shirt corner as she spoke. They seemed very close.

Adrian paused slightly, then smiled, feeling...

It's one thing to show off, but being publicly praised by a child has a different impact, more forceful than self-introduction.

Although Adrian felt secretly pleased, he didn't forget to respond humbly, "Haha, it's just a company, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning." Pretending to be annoyed, he said to Youyu, "Don't say these things again, we are family, okay?"

"But... Adrian."

"Don't be naughty, Youyu, come back."

A voice from another table interrupted the conversation.

"Got it, sister Youyu."

Upon hearing this, Adrian couldn't help but glance at Nangong Youyu. She was rumored to be the top pilot of Rekart, Nangong Youyu.

It's said that she once founded a well-known guild, 'Sinful Hall,' showing considerable skill. Unexpectedly, seeing her today, Adrian dared not act reckless.

However, as the former leader of Sinful Hall and a direct descendant, Youyu was aware of Nangong Qi and Feng Yi's relationship.

Adrian fit well with the branch family's Qianrou, but he can't reach Nangong Qi's level. What status does Feng Yi hold?

She didn't want her sister to get too close to those with little knowledge.

Just as she was thinking, the family head emerged with some laughing elders, taking their seats.

At this moment, the Nangong Family head looked radiant, though beneath his warm demeanor, there were hints of fatigue.

There were many concerns. Although leaving Silver Alliance was good, short-term pain still caused stress, especially with restrictions over the past three years.

The family head even considered taking slow steps, selecting direct descendants for visas, because only by obtaining federal citizenship would they have the right to open the large Ancient Martial Arts Hall.

"Is everyone here?"

The family head finally showed a hint of authority and asked the crowd solemnly.

"Everyone is here, just Qi'er sister came a bit late."

"This isn't your place to speak." Qianrou's father glared at her.

Well, reporting people face-to-face, Qi'er glared back playfully.

"Haha, it's fine."

The elder family head waved his hand slightly, "You all know the current situation of the Nangong Family. This year's birthday is in this manor. Let me say, Mardis is a place with great potential, the pain is temporary, next year, let's all strive together."

Amid a wave of agreement, the family head raised his glass first, and everyone drank together.

At that moment, a voice suddenly sounded from outside, "Yanhuang Soul Martial Arts Hall presents: one thousand-year-old ginseng, one Night Light Pearl, and one Vitalizing Pill. Also, wishes the head boundless happiness and longevity."

The family head was overjoyed. Unexpectedly, the first to send gifts was Yanhuang Soul, giving plenty of face even if they weren't present.

Though the thousand-year ginseng and Night Light Pearl are valuable, they aren't very practical, but the Vitalizing Pill is different. It's a limited product from the Combat Power Tester company, containing active factors, consuming one could extend life by twelve years.

In the next ten minutes, the Nangong Family received many more gifts.

Seeing the moment ripe, Adrian finally spoke, "I also have a gift for Grandpa."

"Oh, you are..."

"Adrian, Qianrou's boyfriend." He scratched his head awkwardly, stepped forward, and handed out an exquisite box.

"Good, good, a good child..."

The family head said 'good' three times in succession, his brows revealing an uncontrollable smile, showing appreciation for Adrian.

When the box was opened, a jade cup was revealed, and judging by its quality, it was certainly valuable.

"Child, how old are you this year?"

"Twenty-eight."

"Haha, it's time to marry, just wondering where you work?"

"The sales department of Surge Company."

"Grandpa, Adrian is also the young master of Surge Company."

Upon hearing this mention, the elder family head was surprised. Although the company isn't very large, the Nangong Family is originally outsiders, and since Qianrou is from a branched family, being associated with this wealthy groom is somewhat in their favor.

"Good child, take care of Qianrou from now on."

As the family head, he was experienced. Without anyone else speaking first, he directly approved their marriage.

"Thank you, Grandpa. I will take good care of Qianrou."

"Hehe, Qi'er, are you single? Should I introduce someone?"

Qianrou proudly looked at Nangong Qi. It seemed Grandpa was very pleased with this rich groom, giving her a sense of face, especially at this birthday feast.
