Sun Qionghua and the Sun family were a little distant now, but they hadnât severed ties. No matter what, they were still in-laws. If the Fu family had a happy occasion, it was one thing if they didnât come. But if the Fu family didnât invite them, they would definitely be criticized.
Sun Qionghua looked at the seating arrangement. Dai Yunqing had arranged it, so there naturally wouldnât be any mistakes. âSure. Thank you, Eldest Sister-in-Law.â
âItâs what I should do.â
âWhy are there two empty tables north and south?â Fu Chen glanced at the seating arrangements. They should have informed everyone that should be informed, so there shouldnât be any additional people at the last minute.
âOh, arenât there people from both Chuanbei and Lingnan coming? No one has a good relationship with these two families, and no one is willing to sit at the same table as them. Itâs not easy to arrange seats, so I specially arranged two vacant tables, one for each family.â Dai Yunqing really had a headache.
A few days ago, the madam of the Jing family had even come to visit. She was really an extremely gentle person who spoke softly and made people feel extremely comfortable listening to her speak. She also indicated that she had returned to China for this wedding and would definitely come.
In the past, the people of Lingnan had worked with Old Master Fu and had accompanied him to avoid terrorist attacks time and time again. They had saved his life in a hail of bullets.
This family had also helped with the wedding venue, so the Fu family had also sent them an invitation to the wedding.
Lingnan had already replied.
[For the Fu familyâs joyous occasion, we will definitely attend.]
Unfortunately, these families would bump into each other.
âAre you sure they want to come?â Fu Chen picked up his prayer beads at the side and held them carefully, looking pensive.
âI specially arranged them in north and south positions to separate them.â Dai Yunqing also had a headache. They had heard of the grudges between the two families.
They usually each occupied an end of the capital. The king wouldnât see the king, and they wouldnât disturb each other.
âWhy separate them? Letâs just arrange them at the same table.â
After Fu Chen finished speaking, Fu Sinian and Yu Manxi looked at each other.
He was clearly planning something.
Was he afraid that Jing Hanchuanâs head wouldnât be smashed?
The wedding venue was in Lingnan. No matter how they looked at it, something would happen if they were arranged together.
âThird Brother, donât joke around. If anything happens at the wedding, thereâs no way to make up for it.â The two of them would definitely fight it out.
It was not impossible for the wedding to become a group battle.
âThat was more than twenty years ago. This is our familyâs wedding. They know what to do and wonât do anything.
âEach family has their own table, and it will seem that theyâre isolated. They came to attend the wedding happily, so itâs not right for us to isolate them. The Jing family is fine, and they can sit with the Duan family. But what about that family? Itâs not good, right?â
Dai Yunqing had also been troubled by this problem.
âWhy donât we arrange for them to be together? Perhaps after a few glasses of wine, they can put aside their past grudges and make peace. Wouldnât this be a beautiful thing?â
Fu Chen could naturally find thousands of reasons to convince anyone.
In the end, Dai Yunqing actually listened to his opinion and arranged for the two of them to sit together.
Yu Manxi bit her lip. âSinian, do we need to strengthen the security measures? I have a bad feeling.â
Fu Sinian patted her shoulder. âDonât worry. Everything will be fine.â
Although he said this, he knew very well that Fu Chen seemed to be in a bad mood, so he conveniently dug a pit for Jing Hanchuan.
âWhy donât we talk to Sixth Master first?â Yu Manxi discussed with him.
âNo need.â Fu Sinian rejected decisively.
Yu Manxi had almost forgotten that Fu Sinian wasnât a good person either. He was probably looking forward to everything that would happen next and planned to enjoy the show.

At this moment, Jing Hanchuan had just returned to the capital. On May 1st, he had followed his parents overseas for a vacation. He was his parentsâ exclusive photographer. Apart from taking photos, he also helped his mother carry her bag. This vacation was really uncomfortable.
After returning, he ran to the dessert shop a few times. The shop was closed for the holidays.
When he arrived for the fifth time, he saw a masked person standing on a stool and wiping the glass window outside the dessert shop from afarâ¦
This person was wearing clothes with a dessert logo on it. It was big and loose.
Perhaps noticing Jing Hanchuan and his group approaching, she turned her head to take a look. Her fingers trembled, and the cloth in her hand fell to the ground. She hurriedly got off the stool and bent down to pick it up. âSir, Iâm sorry. Weâre not open for business yet.â
Her voice was sweet and soft. Through the mask, it was a little muffled, but it was still pleasant to the ear.
It was just like a spring breeze, tickling the heart.
Jing Hanchuan stared at her. He was very tall, and this girl was wearing a pair of flats. She lookedâ¦
⦠so small!
She seemed to only reach his chest.
It wasnât that she was short, but Jing Hanchuan was really tall and had a strong aura. In comparison, she looked very petite.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âThen, shall we leave first?â the person beside him reminded.
Jing Hanchuan didnât say anything. His gaze swept past her face lightly. The weather was already so hot, yet she was still wearing a mask and covering herself so tightly. After eating this shopâs desserts, his mouth was already used to it, and he couldnât eat ones from other shops.
After being overseas for so long, he had a craving and wanted to come over to buy some desserts.
Itâs already past ten in the morning, and the shop is still closed. Does this young lady not want to make money?
The young lady twisted the cloth in her hand and watched him walk farther and farther away. She gritted her teeth. âWait!
âWeâll be open soon. You can go in and sit first!â
But Jing Hanchuan had already strode away, and her voice was scattered by the wind. In an instant, there was no longer anyone in the alleyâ¦
She took a deep breath and felt a little defeated. She carried the stool into the shop.
There were also a few small tables in the store where people could sit and drink tea. The shop hadnât been open for business for a long time, so there was a layer of dust on them. Just as she finished wiping a table, she heard her recording of the âWelcomeâ sound, and the door was pushed open.
There was a not open sign on the door. She smiled and looked up. âSorry, weâre stillâ¦â
Jing Hanchuan, who had long walked away, appeared at the door. Their eyes met. One was calm, and the other was surprised.
âWhy are you back?â She hurriedly wiped a chair for him.
âDidnât you call me back?â Jing Hanchuan asked in return.
The girl was instantly a little embarrassed.?Since he heard it from so far away, why did he walk forward without looking back just now? Why is he back now?
The Jing family members also felt that this matter was very strange.
The car had already stopped at the entrance of the alley, and Jing Hanchuan had already gotten into the car, but he had walked out again.
The reason was: [Since weâre already here, itâs not appropriate to go back without buying anything. Since theyâre not open, we can just wait a little.]
Didnât she call you back?
When did Sixth Master become so obedient?
Jing Hanchuan ordered a few things, and they all needed to be made on the spot. While he was waiting, the girl gave him a glass of bubble tea, and even the two subordinates who followed him received glasses. She was very considerate, making them feel a little flattered.
âIsnât she too considerate? She even brought us drinks?â The two men were about to cry. They had followed Jing Hanchuan for so long, but Sixth Master wouldnât be so considerate.
âShe must be a beautiful and kind-hearted young lady. It seems very difficult for her to manage a shop alone. From her voice, she doesnât sound old. Itâs good for her to support herself.â
âHer voice is nice, and this bubble tea tastes good too. Itâs even better than the ones sold outside.â
â¦
Jing Hanchuanâs lips twitched, but he didnât touch the glass. Only when the two of them started discussing did he reluctantly hold the glass and smell it. It seemed okayâ¦
He took a sip.
Then he finished the entire large glass!
At this moment, Jing Hanchuan was still waiting for the desserts. He was in a good mood and had no idea that Fu Chen had dug a big pit for him to jump into.
