856 If I had his child back then...

The Ji was a prestigious family in Beijing.

Therefore, even though it was only an engagement party, it was especially grand.

The Ji family did not choose to hold the party at any of the five-star hotels in the capital. Instead, they chose to host the engagement party at a hot-spring resort in the suburban area.

Given that it was early spring, a hot-spring hotel was a great fit.

All the distinguished guests started removing their extra layers after they stepped into the resort.

As time passed, more guests arrived.

Still, despite the large number of guests, everything proceeded in an orderly fashion.

Because of the sufficient amount of manpower that had been allocated beforehand, the situation was kept under control despite the growing number of guests.

"I heard that this daughter-in-law of the Ji family has an ordinary background."

"Doesn't everyone in our circle know this already?"
