After babies were born, they changed day by day. It had been a long time since a new life had been born in the Yan family. Old Madam Yan placed great importance on this full moon banquet and sent many invitations.
She had even booked the most luxurious restaurant in Nanjiang to hold the banquet.
Previously, when Yan Wangchuan and Qiao Aiyun got married and held their wedding reception, everything was simple. They only invited close relatives and friends, most of whom were from Nanjiang, Old Madam Yan had always wanted to hold a grand banquet, so this time, she had sent the invitations
directly to the capital.
Both the Duan family and the Jing family received invitations.
“F*ck, Jing Hanchuan, since when did your family have a friendship with the Yan family?” Duan Linbai wanted to show off to him that he could go and see Fu Chen’s brother-in-law, but Jing Hanchuan directly threw the invitation in his face.
“You really hide deeply.
“Our family’s Ms. Lin is an old customer of the Yan family, so she received an invitation. Where did you get this thing?!”
Ms. Lin was naturally Duan Linbai’s mother.
“In order to please my mother, my father had asked the Yan family to customize a floral headdress set.” It was all ormaments worn on the hair when singing opera.
“Your father is really heroic.”
Duan Linbai wasn’t a fan of opera, but he knew that there were many head accessories wor by opera singers. If they were really custom-made with jade, pearls, and gems, they would definitely be expensive.
“It’s not like you don’t know. Rumor has it that he’s a typical person who dotes on his wife and abuses his child. Would he care about this bit of money?” Jing Hanchuan joked with a smile.
Actually, his parents were the typical example of the carrot and the stick. He was their only son. How could his father possibly reach the extent of doting on his wife and abusing his child?
“Then, are you going to Nanjiang?” Duan Linbai knew that he didn’t like to travel far.
“Yes, I’m free recently. I’m going to see how cute Fu Chen’s brother-in-law is. I still have to prepare a full moon gift for him.”
Duan Linbai was speechless.

The Yan family’s selection of guests was very strict. Those invited could even brag about it.
The outside world called Yan Wangchuan Mr. Yan. Some media outlets joked that his son was Little Mr. Yan, so everyone called him this in private.2
For Little Mr. Yan’s full moon banquet, Old Madam Yan seemed to be using all her strength. The grandness of the scene was rare, and it almost became the first grand occasion after the new year. It also made everyone understand the Yan family’s strength for the first time.
Old Madam Yan was already old. She probably couldn’t wait to see her grandson settle down and start a family in her lifetime. At this moment, she was using all her heart and exhausting all her energy to hold this banquet.
Many people wanted to join in the fun and use this opportunity to establish connections.
The He family was one of them.
After experiencing a series of scandals such as being slapped in public at the filiation banquet, He Xi being humiliated, and He Shiging’s image collapsing, the He Group’s stock price plummeted, and the company almost went bankrupt.
But such large corporations usually cooperated closely with many corporations. When one company fell, tens of thousands of people suffered. In the end, they still had to rely on their connections to borrow money from the bank and sell some real estate to barely maintain operations.
Duan Linbai had once asked Fu Sinian why he didn’t follow up and trample them to death.
Fu Sinian only glanced at him. “Why should I spend so much effort on irrelevant people?”
“Don’t you feel disgusted”
“If they don’t struggle, they might not even know how miserable they can be. They’ll die in their final struggle. Isn’t it fun to watch them jump around?”
Duan Linbai felt a chill run down his spine.
F*ck!
Fun?
The Fu family was a fox’s den, and they specialized in having stomachs full of evil tricks. But occasionally, there would be gene mutations, and a silly and naive Fu Yuxiu appeared.

Actually, Fu Sinian didn’t make a move because he had other considerations. The He family was already in a plight, so if he made things worse, people would definitely denounce him.
Besides, no matter what, they were blood-related to Yu Manxi. So he just let it go, lest people speculated that Yu Manxi instigated him. He was afraid that people would make her out to be a heartless person who could kill her parents. After all.
People sympathized with the weak.
‘When the He family found out who was invited for the full moon banquet, they naturally had other thoughts.
This made He Shiging a little anxious. Others might not know, but she knew very well that Song Fengwan was the one who had caused her to end up in such a state. The two of them had already become enemies, so how could she have the cheek to go to the Yan family’s banquet?
Just as she was feeling alarmed, she saw her father, He Maozhen, return home in exasperation.
He was originally obese. But after this great upheaval, he had lost more than twenty pounds. His body was no longer the same as before, and he had become dejected. He often argued with Zou Li, and when it was serious, he even laid his hands on her.
“F*ck, those snobs! Bastards!” He Maozhen threw his car key on the floor, took off his jacket, and threw it away.
“What’s the matter?” He Shiging had been staying home recently. Even during Lunar New Year, no one came to visit the He family, and the house was desolate.
“Those bastards used to follow behind me to eat and drink. But now, I looked for them to get an invitation card. But why did they tell me that they can’t get one? The Yan family sent out invitations everywhere. How could they not get one?
“Many of them received one. F*ck, they’re just pretending! It’s just because they see me doing poorly and look down on me.
“Why the f*ck were they patronizing me?! They could have directly said that the invitations are checked and that I’m not worthy of being invited!”
He Maozhen was roaring, but He Shiqing heaved a sigh of relief.
“Don’t throw your clothes on the floor.” Zou Li bent down and picked up the jacket he had taken off.
“You’re also bossing me around? This is my house. I can do whatever I want!” The He family was no longer as glamorous as before. There were no servants, and they had to do everything themselves.
Zou Li held back her words.
She recalled that at the filiation banquet, Fu Sinian had said that he wasn’t worthy of being a man. Now, it seemed that he really wasn’t worthy.

The full moon banquet was on Friday. Song Fengwan had specially taken a day off, so she could go back and stay for two days.
Because Fu Chen, Fu Sinian, Yu Manxi, Duan Linbai, and Jing Hanchuan would all go, she followed the group without arousing any suspicion.
‘When she was on the phone with Qiao Aiyun, she said that she would be with them, and Qiao Aiyun readily agreed.
She thought that she was hiding it flawlessly, but her mother’s current mentality was: I’ll just watch you two pretend quietly!

‘They were taking the Jing family’s private jet.
It was one thing to buy a plane, but his family actually had a special parking hangar and runway. In a place like the capital, the value of the land was self-evident. It was terrifyingly luxurious.
It wasn’t that Fu Chen couldn’t afford to buy these things. But he was afraid that if he acted unrestrained, he would implicate his father and eldest brother. People would inevitably speculate that his family committed political and business collusion, so Fu Chen kept a low profile.
The Jing family wasn’t like this. They could be as unrestrained as they pleased.
But his ostentatious actions didn’t seem to match Jing Hanchuan’s image. He was aloof, unconventional, and liked to fish. After interacting with him, Song Fengwan knew that he didn’t like to be ostentatious.
After getting on the plane, she was dumbfounded.
‘There were many Beijing opera elements and pictures of his mother
“My dad gave this to my mom on their twentieth wedding anniversary. He said he would take her on a plane to travel the world. Unfortunately, he hasn’t gotten a pilot’s license until now.” Jing Hanchuan couldn’t help complaining.
Song Fengwan smiled and sized up the interior design of the cabin. She and Yu Manxi hadn’t seen each other in a while. The two of them sat next to each other while the four men played poker after the plane took off.
“Who won this time?” Yu Manxi asked after returning from the restroom.
“It’s still him.” Song Fengwan pointed at Duan Linbai.
“He’s won too many times.” Yu Manxi was surprised. Logically speaking, among these four people, Duan Linbai should be the most.
that.
“How is it? I can’t beat them in terms of intelligence, but I’m still slightly better in terms of skills.” Duan Linbai smiled smugly.
“This is just a third party reaping the benefits,” Song Fengwan muttered softly.
‘The few great gods wouldn’t treat him as an opponent and attacked each other. Since no one targeted him, he would definitely win often.
Yu Manxi nodded to express her understanding. “By the way, what’s interesting in Nanjiang? Can you recommend some things to me?” She and Fu Sinian had always traveled to see his parents. This was the first time they were going out alone like this.
“Ican get you a guide when we get there…”
On the plane, these people were carefree and happy, completely unaware that danger was approaching.
Recently, many guests had arrived in Nanjiang, and the Yan family had arranged for them to stay in a hotel.
“Eldest Uncle, Wanwan should be back this afternoon, right?” Yan Shaochen had been helping with the arrangements recently.
“Yes.”
“She’s with Third Master Fu, Eldest Young Master Fu, his wife, Young Master Duan, Jing… Sixth Master Jing.” Yan Shaochen knew that these people had a small circle.
It was the top group in the capital’s social circle.
“Tknow.”
“Then, I’ll help them book their rooms.”
“Okay.” Yan Wangchuan nodded.
At this moment, the Qiao father and son had also arrived in Nanjiang. Upon hearing that Fu Chen was about to arrive, Qiao Xiyan could only sigh. He’s delivering his head from thousands of miles away.. How polite of him!
