Chapter 4053: Chapter 4053: Is the Jiang Family Powerful in Beijing?

As one of the protagonists of the engagement party, Li Mo had to shoulder most of the responsibilities, actively taking charge of the affairs that required decisions for the newly engaged couple.

The Bo family’s butler frequently visited the house that the Li family bought in Beijing, either to deliver wedding candies or to inquire about some details for the engagement party.

Li Mo thoroughly enjoyed this feeling of being courted and steadily received a lot of congratulatory gifts from people...

These gifts were basically intended for Bo Zheng, but since the Bo family couldn’t get in touch with Bo Zheng, Mrs. Bo simply had the butler take these gifts to Li Mo and let her accept them.

The Wei family, the Wen Family, the Ye family... The top families in Beijing all showed respect by sending engagement gifts, creating quite a grand scene, and Li Mo was very pleased as she counted the gifts daily.

Tomorrow was precisely the engagement party.

Early in the morning, the Bo family’s butler came again, carrying the guest list to find Li Mo. His intention was to let Li Mo have a look, to express the sincerity of the Bo family.

"Miss Li, should I leave the list here?"

"Let me have a look."

Li Mo was instructing a servant to put away a jade bracelet with excellent color, then walked over, actually picked up the list, and started to read it carefully.

Seeing that she was reading it seriously and was the future wife of Bo Zheng, the Bo family’s butler took the initiative to lean over and explain the people on the list to her.

Beijing’s interpersonal relationships were complex.

The Bo family controlled the Ninth Branch, and over the past year or so, their status had risen significantly, faintly showing signs of having one foot in the top tier circle.

Bo Zheng was also the most outstanding man of the third generation.

Of course, the major families in Beijing showed Bo Zheng enough respect; as long as they were free, they would all come.

Even those who had things going on and couldn’t come would notify the Bo family in advance to explain the reasons for their absence.

Except for old veterans like Old Master Ye, who had long withdrawn from public life, this engagement party gathered almost all the high society of Beijing.

"This is the Zhang family. Zhang Yang is the outstanding one in his generation, almost all family business has been handed to him, and he is a very capable young man."

The butler pointed to Zhang Yang’s name and explained to Li Mo, giving her a brief understanding of the Zhang family’s situation in just a few words.

Li Mo, however, didn’t care about these; her almond eyes glanced down the list and suddenly pointed to a line of names saying, "Grandpa Butler, who are these?"

"Let me see." The Bo family’s butler looked closely, saw the names her finger was pointing at, and suddenly realized, saying, "This is the Jiang family."

With a smile on his face, the Bo family’s butler said, "Our Old Sir has a good relationship with Old Master Jiang, they are old friends who have known each other for many years. It’s just unfortunate that both our Old Sir and Old Master Jiang had gone through too many hardships when they were young, so as they aged, their health isn’t very good."

This is also a common shortcoming of Old Master Ye’s generation.

Old Master Wei worried about the country all his life and passed away early.

The Bo family’s butler was still immersed in sadness and didn’t notice Li Mo’s eyes flash as she looked at the name Qiao Nian among those names, lightly asking, "Isn’t the Jiang family very powerful in Beijing?"

"The Jiang family?" The Bo family’s butler frowned and, subconsciously thinking of Jiang Zongnan’s branch, said with a complicated expression, "The Jiang family, because of certain incidents... can only be considered average in Beijing. If it weren’t for those incidents, relying on that one person’s connections, they would’ve surely entered the top circle."

"I see." Li Mo directly associated ’that one person’ with Jiang Weishang in his words, thinking it was Jiang Weishang’s good relationship with Old Sir Bao that could bring a boost to the Jiang family.

In her heart, she positioned the Jiang family as a second-tier family dependent on the Bo family.
