The guests are almost all here, and the birthday party is about to begin.

As expected of my aunt's 60th birthday, the event was quite grand. We invited a host and some performers.

Ji Beichen frowned and said, "If this is the case, when will we start eating?"

He was afraid that Qiao Yue and the baby would be hungry.

Qiao Yue smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm not hungry at all. I even ate dumplings before I went out."

Only then did Ji Beichen feel relieved.

A burst of music started, and the host came on stage first, said some auspicious words, and announced the official start of the birthday party.

Next was the opening dance, performed by the champion team of the World Classical Dance Competition.

It was quite a big scene, even the dance champion was there.

After the dance performance, my aunt and her family went on stage to give a speech, which was nothing more than thanking the guests and wishing them a good meal and drinks.

After this part, the dinner officially began and we could eat.

The food at Xingchen Hotel is always very good, and Qiao Yue ate a lot of it.

Ji Beichen was not in a hurry to eat. He peeled a bowl of shrimps for her and placed it in front of her.

Qiao Yue saw that her father-in-law also put a lot of peeled shrimps in her mother-in-law's bowl.

It seems that this is a family tradition, which is good.

Qiao Yue thought that if she gave birth to a boy, she would have to pass on the tradition of loving her wife just like her mother-in-law had taught Ji Beichen.

While we were eating, my uncle's family came to toast us.

Qiao Yue picked up the juice in front of her and stood up with the help of Ji Beichen. Everyone at the table clinked their glasses in a lively manner.

Song Chen even came over to toast Ji Beichen and Qiao Yue, "Thank you, Mr. Ji, Mrs. Ji."

Ji Beichen clinked glasses with him and drank it all in one gulp.

Halfway through the banquet, everyone had actually finished eating and started socializing and drinking everywhere.

Ji Beichen accompanied his grandfather and father-in-law to the main table next door to chat with his uncle.

Only mother-in-law and Qiao Yue were left sitting at their seats. Qiao Yue ate slowly, taking a few bites of rice from time to time and then stopping for a while.

The mother-in-law peeled several shrimps for Qiao Yue, and Qiao Yue quickly said, "That's enough, Mom, I'm full."

The mother-in-law stopped and started to wipe her hands with wet tissues, saying, "Yueyue, I heard that many pregnant women now go for cosmetic surgery to restore their figure after giving birth. If you want to do it, go ahead and I'll order the packages for you."

Qiao Yue: "Really?"

The mother-in-law replied, "Of course, you girls must love beauty, this is normal. Pregnancy is hard enough, you have to be nice to yourself."

Qiao Yue looked at her mother-in-law and smiled. On a whim, she asked her mother-in-law a question, "Mom, what if I don't breastfeed in order to maintain my figure? Do you support me?"

The mother-in-law nodded and said, "Yes, it's not a big deal. If you don't have breast milk, you can use formula. We are not poor, so we can afford any expensive formula."

Qiao Yue looked at her mother-in-law and smiled, "Mom, you are really the most open-minded mother-in-law I have ever seen."

The mother-in-law said frankly: "I have given birth to several children, and I know how hard it is to be pregnant and give birth, so I don't want my daughter-in-law to suffer. Anyway, I will be responsible for the money and the labor, and you will be responsible for making decisions and being happy."

Qiao Yue took her mother-in-law's hand, put it on her belly, and said, "Mom, did you hear that? The baby said, thank you grandma for mom! Love grandma!"

Grandma was very happy, "I heard it! Don't worry, baby, grandma must love mom and you too."

The atmosphere between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was warm and they were laughing together.

At this time, an aunt came and sat next to my mother-in-law with a cup in her hand.

The mother-in-law quickly picked up the cup and responded, "Hey, Mrs. Fang, long time no see, you are here to drink at the wedding too."

Mrs. Fang smiled and replied, "Yes, Mrs. Ji, I just came back from the United States and came here to celebrate your sister's birthday."

Mrs. Fang glanced at Qiao Yue and asked, "Is this your daughter-in-law?"

The mother-in-law nodded, "Yes, my Beichen's daughter-in-law."

Qiao Yue also smiled politely, "Hello, Auntie."

Mrs. Fang: "Hello, hello, your daughter-in-law is so beautiful. I heard a long time ago that the young master of the Ji family got married. I was abroad when your son held his wedding, so I didn't drink in the wedding wine."

She took a look at Qiao Yue's belly and said to her mother-in-law, "I didn't expect that you would become a grandmother so soon."

The mother-in-law said politely, "Yes, this is catching up with you. Didn't you become a grandmother last year?"

Mrs. Fang was very happy when talking about this. "Of course I have been taking care of my grandson abroad for the past six months. My little grandson is really cute."

Mother-in-law: "You are blessed."

Mrs. Fang was so happy that her eyes wrinkled a little. She moved closer and asked, "Have you checked whether it's a boy or a girl?"

Hearing her ask this, both the mother-in-law and Qiao Yue felt quite embarrassed.

Qiao Yue kept smiling and said, "No, we don't look at these."

Mrs. Fang said, "Tsk, that's why you are young, how can you not watch it. The difference between having a boy and a girl is huge. If this baby is a boy, your family will have someone to inherit the incense."

Qiao Yue was speechless. What era is it now? There are still such speeches that favor boys over girls. Is this old lady crazy?

But this person was an elder after all, so Qiao Yue did not refute, nor was she too lazy to refute. She just smiled and said nothing.

Mrs. Fang did not feel the disgust of others at all and continued to express her feudal remarks, "If you give birth to a girl, she will belong to someone else's family sooner or later. It's useless and you have to spend money to raise her. If it's a boy, it's different. He will be your own child. If he succeeds in the future, he can bring honor to the family."

"But this is your first child, right? Don't be in a hurry. If this one is a girl, then keep having more. If you have four or five of them, you'll eventually have a son."

Qiao Yue was completely speechless. This old lady must have traveled through time from the Qing Dynasty. Her thoughts were so feudal that it was outrageous!

This talkative Mrs. Fang continued to educate Qiao Yue, "You have to eat more and drink more soup, so that you can have milk in the future. The child cannot eat milk powder, which has no nutrition..."

"Okay, shut up!" said the mother-in-law with a cold face.

Qiao Yue was stunned and looked at her mother-in-law.

Mrs. Fang was also stunned. "I... I'm sharing my experience with young people. How could they understand..."

The mother-in-law said coolly: "You should understand that this is my daughter-in-law. You don't need to educate her."

"Whether my daughter-in-law gives birth to a boy or a girl, I will treat them as my treasures! Our family is a civilized and well-educated family, and we don't favor boys over girls! Put away your feudal ideas and don't dirty my daughter-in-law's ears here."

Mrs. Fang's expression began to turn ugly, "You... I mean well too!"

The mother-in-law snorted, "It's useless. I don't know you very well. Don't act like an elder and bully my daughter-in-law."

Mrs. Fang glared at her mother-in-law angrily.

The mother-in-law didn't care at all and looked at her with contempt. "Why? You want to quarrel with me here? I can, but think carefully about your own worth."

The Ji family is the richest family in Yuncheng. In terms of wealth and status, they are the best in Yuncheng. Mrs. Fang naturally did not dare to quarrel with the Ji family.

The mother-in-law said arrogantly, "Now that I am still giving you face, leave quietly."

Mrs. Fang snorted in dissatisfaction, then got up and left.

Qiao Yue looked at her mother-in-law and said sincerely, "Mom, you are so handsome!"

The mother-in-law said, "I have tolerated her for a long time, but I didn't expect her to get more and more outrageous. She dared to pretend to educate you in front of me. Our whole family treats you and the children as treasures, so she has no right to say irresponsible things."

Qiao Yue felt very warmed and said, "Mom, you are simply my idol."

The mother-in-law smiled and said, "It's OK. Although I don't like to quarrel, I'm not a loser when it comes to talking."

Grandma looked at Qiao Yue's belly and suddenly changed her voice back to gentleness, "My dear grandchildren, I didn't scare you, did I? Grandma is not usually fierce, don't be afraid."

Qiao Yue laughed out loud. She found that these two little guys already had a strong presence even before they were born.

Whatever the family members do or say now, they have to think about whether it will have any negative impact on them.

Moreover, family members love to talk to them, especially mother-in-law and Ji Beichen.

They have been loved by so many people before they were even born. In the future, these two little ones will definitely be warm babies.
