Chapter 1826: Chapter 1339: Dissatisfaction

Wu Yue has a lively personality, and as she spoke, her gaze returned to Kang Li, full of envy: "How can you be so capable? You casually raise a nationwide top scorer. When Hanhan, Vivi, and the three little ones take their college entrance exams, will you make them all valedictorians too?"

Upon hearing this, Kang Li’s expression was full of smiles, without any modesty, she said: "I sure hope so, but it’s a bit early to say that now."

"Li Bao, aren’t you always very modest? Why aren’t you modest now?"

Wu Yue feigned surprise.

"Just as you think, each of my kids is outstanding. Whether they can become valedictorians like their big brother is something I, as a mother, have great confidence in."

Kang Li said with a smile.

Wu Yue paused for a moment, then immediately looked envious and jealous: "You really know how to make people mad!"

Looking at her, Kang Li couldn’t help but laugh out loud: "I’m just teasing you, not convinced? Let’s set a date and have a battle?"

"Haha!"

Wu Yue was amused by Kang Li’s words and couldn’t help but laugh out loud. She gave Kang Li a big hug: "Good sister, you’re too funny!"

Lightly patting her on the back, Kang Li said: "Let’s go sit inside, we can chat more later."

Wu Yue smiled and nodded, then followed her husband and children to the banquet hall on the second floor with Kang Yikai.

...

The clock pointed to twelve, and seeing no more guests arriving, Kang Li called on Luo Yanqing and Ming Rui, as well as Kang Guoan, Kang Yihao, and several nephews and said: "Let’s go, I don’t think anyone else will come, let’s head up."

"Okay."

Luo Yanqing responded.

Second floor banquet hall.

Due to the true number of guests who came to offer congratulations, looking around, at least thirty tables were filled. Among these guests, many were unfamiliar faces, but since they came, it meant they had some connection with Kang Li or Luo Yanqing.

Such as relatives from both sides of Director Song’s family and friends they’ve made over the years, or Big Brother Kang’s business partners made during years of running the hot pot restaurant, Kang Guosheng’s close comrades, and those Kang Guoan connected with.

In short, today’s banquet for the valedictorian is a joyful occasion. Families with children connected to Kang Li’s family heard about this event and mostly came with their families to congratulate, hoping it would motivate their children by having them get close to the valedictorian.

Originally, Kang Guosheng was supposed to host this banquet, but once Director Song arrived, Kang Guosheng gave up the authority to host without a second thought.

Director Song couldn’t refuse, so he had to take over this "job."

Applause ensued, and after Director Song’s speech, Kang Li and Luo Yanqing also said a few words. Finally, Ming Rui, the main character of the day, bowed and thanked the guests who had come to celebrate.

The banquet proceeded smoothly.

Around three in the afternoon, the banquet concluded, Kang Li and the family stood at the hotel entrance, seeing off the guests who gradually left.

But The Feng Family and Xiao Family remained until the end.

"Child, take this."

At the hotel entrance, beside Feng Wei’s car, Old Master Feng sat in a wheelchair and looked at Ming Rui, taking out a brown envelope from his pocket and handing it over, yet Ming Rui remained motionless and instead looked towards Kang Li and Luo Yanqing. Seeing them nod, he then stepped forward to take the envelope from Old Master Feng’s hand.

"Visit our home when you have the chance."

Upon hearing Old Master Feng’s words, Ming Rui was silent for a moment, pressed his lips, and nodded lightly.

"Make sure to study well in college; that’s how you can repay the country’s cultivation."

Such a wonderful child, what a pity his daughter abandoned her own children early on; now she regrets it, but it’s too late.

"Yes."

Ming Rui nodded again.

Old Master Feng’s eyes showed a trace of relief, then he looked away from Kang Li and Luo Yanqing, greeted the Xiao Family, and was lifted into the car’s backseat by Feng Wei.

Fang Su had already gotten into the car earlier.

Feng Wei stored the wheelchair and casually placed it inside the car, nodded towards Kang Li and her husband, as well as Father Xiao and Xiao Jin, then reclaimed his gaze and sat in the driver’s seat, and not long after, drove onto the highway.

"Ming Rui."

This was Xiao Jin’s voice.

"Uncle Xiao, do you have something to say?"

Ming Rui looked puzzled.

Xiao Jin said nothing, he stepped closer to Ming Rui, and casually handed him two red envelopes: "The top one is from Grandpa Xiao, and the bottom one is a little gesture from Uncle Xiao."

"..."

Ming Rui didn’t reach out.

"Take them, it’s just a small gesture from Uncle Xiao and Grandpa Xiao."
