Chapter 477: A Great Show (Part Two)

A few small tables on the lawn were filled with pastries, pastries, and dried fruits for everyone to eat. Everyone gathered around and chatted over a fire. It was quite lively.
Dinner time was set to be at seven o’clock. Just after five o’clock, Fang Qingyun brought her children over. Her husband, Xie Qingyun, had gone on a business trip and did not come. At almost six o’clock, Fang Pingjun’s children and Fang Yu’an arrived together.
At 6: 20 pm, Fang Pingjun and Xu Pingfei brought Fang Shan over.
Fang Pingjue personally went to pick them up. When he saw them, he scolded Fang Pingjue, “You’re really late today. I thought you wouldn’t come.”
Before Fang Pingjue could speak, Xu Pingfei answered, “Your elder brother hasn’t recovered yet. I didn’t want him to come, but he insisted on coming and didn’t listen to me. He almost delayed the time.” Xu Pingfei’s words were all dignified. The truth was that Fang Pingjue didn’t want to come and was forced to come by Xu Pingfei.
“Have Big Brother and the rest arrived?” Xu Pingfei looked inside.
Fang Ping said no and added, “Yusheng and the rest are not here yet.”
Xu Pingfei said, “He’s never in a hurry. Let’s ignore him. He promised to come back, so he should come.”
The two of them had just entered for a while and had yet to warm up the chairs when Fang Yusheng and the rest arrived.
Fang Yusheng’s entire family was here. The two children were wearing gray sweaters and black jackets. They had the same cute looks and were loved wherever they went.
The moment the two brothers entered the house, Fang Zikai ran towards Fang Shan. Fang Zicheng silently looked at the adults around him and recalled the fearful memories of being pinched and teased by these adults. He weighed the pros and cons in his heart for a moment and silently walked towards his younger brother.
Although it was a family banquet, everyone was dressed very formally. Especially Xu Pingfei and Liu Yu who subconsciously dressed themselves up beautifully as they were afraid that they would be suppressed by their sister-in-law, whom they had never met before. The younger generation was less formal, but they did not lack in terms of dressing.
Compared to them, Qiao Jiusheng, who was wearing a beige dress and a light coffee-colored short thermal windbreaker, appeared much more low-key.
The quietest person in the room was Fang Yusheng.
He, who had always been high-profile and loved to show off, was only wearing a simple black and white checkered coat today. He wore a scarf and sat on the chair closest to the side. He looked at the red flames jumping in the distance and remained silent. The flames shone on his face, making his expression look complicated.
Everyone sat together and chatted. They were discussing what kind of wonderful person Chi Baoguang would fancy. They were also guessing what kind of person their child would be.
“Mom, I heard from you that Eldest Uncle is a genius. He was also very good-looking when he was young. Then, there must be many people who like him, right?” Fang Qingyun’s eldest daughter, Xie Wei, was already married. Her child was already more than four years old. However, when women mentioned men, they were always filled with curiosity.
She had never seen her eldest uncle before. She only heard from her sister, Xie Rujiao, that her eldest uncle was already 60 years old and looked no different from a 40-year-old burly man.
She was especially curious.
Fang Qingyun looked dazed.
“There are many people chasing after him.” Fang Qingyun blinked and thought of something. She smiled helplessly and said, “Your eldest uncle is very smart, but his EQ…”
“Speaking of this, I thought of a funny thing.” The person who spoke was Fang Pingjun. He held the wine and sat on the arm of the single chair under Liu Yu. Hearing this, everyone turned their attention to him.
Xie Wei asked, “What’s funny?”
Xu Pingfei and the rest also pricked up their ears to eavesdrop.
Fang Ping smiled and said, “Brother Baoguang was accepted by Cambridge University at the age of 16. At that time, he was a famous figure in Binjiang City. He came back one year and was only 18 years old. He attended his father’s birthday banquet. Many uncles and aunties brought their precious daughters to the banquet. Instead of saying that they were here to attend the banquet, it would be better to say that they wanted to introduce their daughters to Brother Baoguang.”
“I remember there’s a family with the surname Jiang. Their daughter is also studying in England, but she’s studying at an ordinary university. Uncle Jiang thought that his daughter would relate to Brother Baoguang, so he brought Miss Jiang to meet him. When he introduced the two of them, he said to Bo Guang, ‘Bo Guang, this is my daughter, Jiang Ying. She’s also studying in England. You’re both young and studying at the same university in the same country. I think there are many topics to talk about. Look, why don’t you guys have a good chat? Perhaps you’ll find that you have similar interests and can be good friends?'”
Brother Bo Guang looked Miss Jiang up and down before saying, “Since Uncle Jiang says so, I have to test Miss Jiang well.”
After thinking about it, Brother Bo Guang said the only thing he said to Miss Jiang in their lives when they met. He said…”
With that said, Fang Ping deliberately paused to arouse everyone’s curiosity.
Everyone gave him face and immediately asked, “What did he say?”
Fang Ping took a deep breath and imitated Chi Boguang’s expression at that time. He stood up, put down his wine glass, placed his hands in his pockets, and pretended that the air in front of him was that Miss Jiang from the past. He looked at ‘Miss Jiang’ with a proud expression, and his voice did not fluctuate as he asked frankly, “Why do you say that the lac operon is both an inducible and repressible operon?”
Everyone was speechless.
Even Fang Yusheng, who was staring at the bonfire in a daze, could not help but chuckle when he heard this.
This seemed like something that person could do.
“Miss Jiang studies art. How would she know about this?” Fang Ping chuckled and said, “Then, Brother Baoguang said to Uncle Jiang,” Uncle, you saw it too. Miss Jiang and I don’t have anything in common.”
Hearing this, everyone could not help but laugh.
“Could the Miss Jiang you’re talking about be Jiang Wei’s aunt?” Jiang Bo had a younger brother called Jiang Kang who married the Jiang family’s Miss Jiang Ru. She was Jiang Wei’s aunt.
Fang Pingjun nodded.
Fang Yu’an said, “No wonder. At Qingqing and Jiang Wei’s engagement banquet that year, his aunt had always been very cold to the Fang family.” She was bearing this grudge.
Fang Qingyun sighed and said, “I really didn’t expect that such an unromantic Baoguang would already have a family and career. A woman who can subdue Bo Guang must be a talent.”
Everyone agreed with this.
Somehow, the topic shifted to Chi Baoguang’s children.
“I wonder what kind of person Eldest Uncle’s son is?” Fang Yu’an revealed an expectant expression. “Our Fang family is going to have another brother.” Fang Yusheng asked Fang Pingjue, “Dad, have you seen Eldest Uncle’s son?”
Fang Pingjue’s lips trembled before he shook his head..
