The cut watermelon was quickly served by the servants!

This time, everyone could clearly smell the fragrance of the watermelon!

“This watermelon smells so good! It smells even better than a melon. Are you sure it’s not a cantaloupe?”

“But cantaloupes don’t have such a fragrance! This is obviously a strong watermelon fragrance!”

“No, 1 can’t take it anymore!” With that, he picked up a piece of watermelon and ate it.

“Wow, this watermelon can’t be any more delicious! It’s grainy, sweet, and fragrant. It feels especially refreshing after taking a bite!”

“These children are all picky at home and don’t eat anything. They came here and snatched food from their good friends! If it were us adults, we would probably snatch it too!”

“You’re still talking? They’re already snatching it! By the time you’re done, they’ve already snatched the watermelons!”

“F*ck! I’ll try mine quickly!” After saying that, she ran off!

Originally, the Gu family had only prepared twenty big watermelons. After all, there were only 30 to 40 guests invited. Even if they brought their families over, there would only be 70 to 80 at most. 20 watermelons were enough!

Unless they were close friends and relatives, the so-called family members were usually husband and wife. At most, they would bring a child!

To Gu Jianguo and his wife’s surprise, almost all the guests brought their families with them. They looked like they were freeloading.

Besides, as long as one ate a piece of his own watermelon, he would not be able to stop.

Naturally, there were not enough watermelons for twenty people.

After a guest tasted it, he looked at Gu Jianguo and said with a smile, “Old Gu, aren’t you a little too unkind? Your family has so many watermelons. Why didn’t you give one or two to us old friends!”

These words sounded half-joking and half-serious.

Gu Jianguo also smiled and replied, “Haha, Old Xia, this is just an ordinary watermelon. My Mingming brought it back from her grandmother’s house to show filial piety to her mother and me. We’re too embarrassed to give you watermelons, right?!”

People of their status would gift items such as some high-end fruits from overseas and some high-end expensive items.

In the eyes of some rich and powerful families, these fruits from the country were not presentable at all.

Gu Jianguo naturally wouldn’t do such a thankless thing. Even if this watermelon was an expensive gift in the eyes of the couple, Gu Qingming’s reputation in Sea City had been damaged and she was secretly mocked by many people in the upper-class circle.

If they were told that Gu Qingming had planted the watermelons, these people would definitely look at them with disdain. They would probably not even eat the watermelons and just let the servants enjoy them.

Although there was no such thing as high or low status in modern society, no one would be happy if a gift was casually dealt with.

What Gu Jianguo was waiting for was to amaze the world!

At that time, everyone would eat the food planted by their daughters and see who would dare to laugh at them again!

Looking at these people who prided themselves on their noble statuses snatching food, Gu Jianguo felt proud.

“Old Gu, look at what you’re saying. Mingming planted the watermelons herself. We should try them.” Old Xia laughed. “How many watermelons do you have left? After the banquet, 1 want to bring two for my old lady to try! She’ll definitely like them!”

Gu Jianguo was speechless. In this day and age, did they not even care about their pride for the sake of food?

“That’s right, Old Gu. 1’11 bring two for my Old Master to eat too!”

Gu Jianguo smiled and said, “1 have some watermelons left.. After the banquet ends, 1’11 get every family to bring back two watermelons!”
