บท 123: AUNTY'S BIRTHDAY

It was a Saturday, around six in the evening. The Chen couple and Mo Wenbin went together to the Chen household at the northern outskirts of Beijing. They decided to go there together in the car. The two men seated in front while Xue Jinxu sat on the backseat.

"Hey Cousin Wenbin, how old is Aunty turning today?" Xue Jinxu inquired from the backseat.

"She's turning fifty four today."

"I see." Xue Jinxu was all smiles. This would be the first Chen family gathering that she would be able to attend as Chen Linyun's wife.

"Will there be a lot of guests?" Xue Jinxu asked more.

"Quite a number. Some are old friends of the elders, mostly from the government. It's just a casual gathering." Mo Wenbin shared.

"Are you nervous?" Chen Linyun asked from the driver's seat.

"No. I'm excited." Xue Jinxu kept on smiling.

When they alighted from the car, Aunty Mo herself greeted them. There were a few servants following her around.
