About twenty minutes later, the car reached the Magic City Xia Family.
The Magic City Xia Family was even more prosperous in development than the Emperor Capital Xia Family, thus the entire Xia residence was extremely luxurious.
Upon arriving at the Xia family's home, they saw a couple walking towards the gate.
The couple was none other than Xia Mengdie's cousin, Xia Shan, and her boyfriend, Zhou Yi.
When Xia Shan saw Xia Mengdie, she immediately rushed over with joy and hugged her tightly, exclaiming, "Mengdie, it's been so long!"
"Yes, Cousin Shan, it's been a long time." Xia Mengdie also showed a happy expression.
Then, Xia Shan introduced Xia Mengdie and Lin Mo, "This is my boyfriend, Zhou Yi!"
"Hello, Zhou Yi."
"Hello, Xia Mengdie."
When Zhou Yi saw Xia Mengdie, a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes, but he quickly withdrew his gaze, knowing well that with his status and capabilities, he was not worthy of a beauty like her.
However, when his gaze fell on Lin Mo, he immediately frowned.
Seeing Lin Mo's attire and the fact that he hadn't arrived in a car, Zhou Yi's look turned quite contemptuous.
"Cousin, this is my boyfriend, Lin Mo."
Xia Mengdie introduced Lin Mo with a very serious attitude.
Xia Shan could clearly see that Xia Mengdie really liked Lin Mo and cared about him.
After observing Lin Mo for a few moments, although Xia Shan hadn't seen Lin Mo arriving in any luxury car, there was a unique aura about him that made her think highly of him.
"Mengdie, your boyfriend is quite handsome and has a good presence. I hope you two can be happy together."
However, just after Xia Shan finished speaking, Xia Dong, who was nearby, expressed his dissatisfaction, "Sister, how could a guy like that be worthy of our Sister Mengdie? Other than being handsome, I see nothing good about him!"
"Xia Dong! Don't talk nonsense!" Xia Shan quickly scolded him.
Yet, Zhou Yi also patted Xia Shan's shoulder, smiling and saying, "Shanshan, actually what your brother said isn't entirely wrong. Sometimes, choosing someone who truly suits oneself is most important. I think, for a beauty like your cousin here, she indeed should find someone of equal social status, like Brother Zhi."
"That's right!"
As soon as Dugu Zhi was mentioned, Xia Dong immediately got excited: "Our Brother Zhi not only holds an extraordinary position, his martial power is also awe-inspiring; in every aspect, he belongs to the top of the top! He is more than enough for Sister Mengdie."
"Shut up!"
Xia Shan glared fiercely at Xia Dong, then apologized to Xia Mengdie, "I'm sorry, Mengdie. My brother and boyfriend are a bit out of line; please don't take it to heart."
"Don't worry, I won't." Xia Mengdie smiled sweetly, taking the initiative to cling to Lin Mo's arm, her tone remarkably firm, "In my heart, my boyfriend is the best in the world! Even if other men are outstanding, I will not waver at all!"
Zhou Yi and Xia Dong exchanged glances, feeling even more discontent when they saw Xia Mengdie being affectionate with Lin Mo.
In their hearts, only a strong man like Dugu Zhi deserved Xia Mengdie.
And someone ordinary like Lin Mo simply had no right to be Xia Mengdie's boyfriend!
"Cousin, that's because you haven't met a truly outstanding man. By the time you do, you'll surely change your mind." Xia Dong sneered, believing that once Xia Mengdie saw Dugu Zhi's capabilities, she would definitely choose him.
"Enough! Xia Dong, stop talking!"
Xia Shan was already somewhat angry; turning to Xia Mengdie and Lin Mo, she warmly said, "Come on, let's go inside first."
After Xia Shan led the three of them towards the courtyard, Xia Dong turned to Zhou Yi, "Brother-in-law, do you think that guy is worthy of my cousin?"
Zhou Yi immediately shook his head, his gaze filled with contempt, "Even an average rich second generation is probably better than him!"
Xia Dong chuckled, "In my opinion, if Sister Mengdie married a strong man like Brother Zhi, it would be a great blessing for our Xia Family. Not only would our family's status rise, but the two of us could also receive guidance from Brother Zhi, significantly enhancing our realms!"
Soon, Lin Mo and Xia Mengdie followed Xia Shan into the Xia Family's courtyard.
Now, the Xia Family's courtyard was bustling, with several banquet tables set up.
At the largest table, there was an extremely lavish cake. Soon, under everyone's gaze, Xia Shan began to make a wish.
Next came the cake-cutting, followed by setting off sparklers.
It wasn't long before, through Xia Shan's introductions, the gaze of several Xia Family elders fell upon Xia Mengdie:
"It's been a few years since we've seen you, Mengdie. You've grown more and more beautiful."
"Yes, even more radiant!"
Just then, a middle-aged man approached Xia Mengdie. Out of politeness, she greeted him, "Uncle!"
The middle-aged man slightly nodded his head, but his smile was meaningful, "Mengdie, you're becoming more and more beautiful. It's about time you had a boyfriend."
"Dad, what are you talking about? Sister Mengdie already has a boyfriend."
"Oh?"
Hearing this, the middle-aged man furrowed his brows and then said, "Where is he? Let me see."
"He is my boyfriend."
Xia Mengdie actively looped her arm through Lin Mo's, her beautiful eyes filled with tenderness.
Xia Peng glanced at Lin Mo, his eyes flashing with thick disdain and aversion, then he looked straight at Lin Mo and asked indifferently, "What's your name?"
"Lin Mo." Lin Mo also had no fondness for Xia Peng, responding indifferently.
Seeing Lin Mo's attitude, Xia Peng was even more displeased. In his view, Lin Mo was nothing special and somewhat arrogant.
"Lin Mo, is it? I am Mengdie's Uncle Xia Peng. Where do you work?"
Lin Mo glanced at him, responding coolly, "Still in university."
"Which university?"
"Imperial Tian Nan University."
"Heh, turns out it's a university with no prospects!"
After finding out more, Xia Peng was even more disappointed in Lin Mo, believing he was completely unworthy of his niece.
Thinking this, Xia Peng then said to Lin Mo, "Come with me for a moment. I want to talk to you."
"I have nothing to discuss with you." Lin Mo's tone was cold, natural not to show any face since he was not given any.
"You..." Lin Mo's unyielding tone left Xia Peng taken aback, but since Xia Mengdie was present, it was not a good time to create a scene.
During the party, Lin Mo got up to use the restroom.
When he returned, Xia Peng was already waiting for him midway.
Lin Mo glanced at him, speaking coolly, "What are you, following me like a dog?"
Xia Peng's face turned cold, "How do you speak to an elder?"
