While out picking up trash, I was forcefully pushed around by a beautiful female CEO.

Meng Yuanhe didn't know why Yu Xiuqin would say that, so he could only force a smile.

After everyone had sat for a while, Lin Feng, Meng Qingyao, and Li Zhiheng came over together.

The three of them arrived at the same time and met in the parking lot.

When Li Zhiheng entered the room, he was chatting and laughing with Lin Feng and Meng Qingyao. He was caught off guard by the scene in the room and was so frightened that he shuddered.

Holy crap, what's going on?

When Li Zhiheng saw Qin Xiangyang and his wife, as well as Qin Xiao, he was completely bewildered and looked to Meng Bufan for help.

Meng Bufan, beaming, winked and said, "Quick, brother-in-law, cousin, sit here. Brother Qin and I specially saved seats for you two!"

"Brother Feng, Cousin Zhiheng, we didn't drink enough yesterday, so we have to have a good drink today!"

Qin Xiao stood up and smiled at Lin Feng and Li Zhiheng. However, as he spoke, Qin Xiao couldn't help but glance at Lin Feng with some surprise. In just one day, he felt that Lin Feng's aura seemed to have changed.

The expressions of the rest of the Meng family changed again.

Hearing Qin Xiao call Lin Feng "Brother Feng" with my own ears is different from hearing it from Meng Bufan and Li Zhiheng.

Meng Yun was trembling with excitement. The young master of the Qin family had not only called Lin Feng "Brother Feng" but also her son "Cousin Zhiheng." Although she knew it was because of Lin Feng, it was still enough to make her happy. At least it meant that her son would have the qualifications and opportunities to associate with the young master of the Qin family in the future.

Li Zuwang also took a deep breath and clenched his fists. He knew that he had made the right decision to let Li Zhiheng get close to Lin Feng.

Chen Lan and Tao Jing's expressions had become extremely unnatural.

The reason they came today was because they learned from Meng Boqu and Meng Botao that their niece's husband was no ordinary person, but they were still somewhat skeptical before coming.

Now, they have no choice but to believe.

Thinking back to how they hadn't given Lin Feng and Meng Qingyao any face the first time, both of them felt a little apprehensive.

"Qingyao, shall I sit with Bufan and the others?"

Lin Feng saw Meng Bufan and Qin Xiao greeting him and smiled at Meng Qingyao.

"Ah? Okay... okay, go ahead!"

Meng Qingyao was still a bit dazed. She knew nothing about what happened at the bar. When she heard Qin Xiao call Lin Feng "Brother Feng," she was completely dumbfounded.

Not to mention that Qin Xiangyang and Yu Xiuqin are also here!

Meng Qingyao was filled with confusion and couldn't help but feel nervous. When she realized what was happening and wanted to ask Lin Feng, she found that Lin Feng had already sat down, and Qin Xiao had pulled out the chair for him.

What Meng Qingyao couldn't understand was that Qin Xiao not only offered Lin Feng a chair, but Lin Feng sat there as if it were perfectly normal.

What exactly is going on?

Isn't this Lin Feng's uncle's family dinner?

"Cousin...cousin, please sit next to me."

Just as Meng Qingyao's mind was completely blank, she heard a voice as faint as a mosquito's buzz.

Meng Qingyao turned her head and saw that Li Shuangshuang had already stood up and pulled out the chair next to her.

"That's right, Qingyao, come sit between your aunt and your cousin. Let's have a good talk tonight. Before, it was my fault. I was immature. Don't take it to heart!"

Meng Yun then affectionately took Meng Qingyao's hand and pulled her to her seat without giving her a chance to explain.

Meng Qingyao was somewhat uncomfortable with Meng Yun and Li Shuangshuang's attitude, constantly glancing at Lin Feng, hoping to get answers from him. However, Lin Feng was currently being chatted with by Qin Xiao and Meng Bufan, so she had no choice but to pick up her phone and send Lin Feng a message: "What's going on? Wasn't your uncle calling us for dinner? Why are Mayor Qin and Minister Yu here too? Are you hiding something from me? How did you meet Young Master Qin? Why does Young Master Qin call you Brother Feng? Also, what happened between you and Shuangshuang this morning? Why have her and Aunt's attitudes changed so much? I almost don't recognize them anymore..."

When Lin Feng heard his phone vibrate, he opened it and saw a series of question marks on the screen. He was both amused and exasperated, realizing that he couldn't explain things clearly in just a few words.

So Lin Feng simply replied, "You'll find out soon enough!"

Meng Qingyao replied, "You better be! Otherwise, you'll be in for a world of hurt tonight, hmph."

Lin Feng replied with an expectant emoji: "Then I'll be waiting."

"Pooh!"

Meng Qingyao's cheeks flushed slightly, and she glanced at Lin Feng with a hint of resentment. Just as she was about to put her phone away, she saw Zhang Qian walk over and pick up the phone.

"Qingyao, you're a famous beauty in Minghai. I haven't had a chance to meet you before. Come on, now that we've finally managed to sit down for a meal together, I have to get your contact information. My Qin Xiao has been talking about you nonstop on the way here. He admires Lin Feng the most."

Zhang Qian spoke to Meng Qingyao with great enthusiasm.

Meng Qingyao seemed a little flustered, so she quickly got up and added Zhang Qian as a friend and exchanged phone numbers.

"This must be my cousin, right? Come on, let's add each other as friends. I heard you're going to university in Kyoto soon. Our Zhang family has some small businesses there. If you ever need any help, just let me know!"

Zhang Qian didn't ignore Li Shuangshuang either, and spoke affectionately to her.

Li Shuangshuang was somewhat flattered. After adding Zhang Qian as a friend, her feelings were extremely complicated. She had tried to integrate into Chen Huilin's circle, but was ostracized, isolated, and humiliated. But now, without doing anything, this daughter-in-law of the Qin family and the daughter of the Zhang family was taking the initiative to get close to her.

All of this is because of my cousin-in-law!

Li Shuangshuang couldn't help but recall her father Li Zuwang's words, feeling a deep emotion she had never felt before.

In contrast to the familiarity among the younger generation, such as Lin Feng, Qin Xiao, Meng Bufan, Meng Qingyao, and Zhang Qian, the three men, Meng Yuanhe, Meng Boqu, and Meng Botao, were feeling rather uneasy.

They had too many concerns. The status of Qin Xiangyang and his wife was what it was, and the difference in their social standing made them subconsciously cautious when they spoke, afraid of saying something wrong and offending Qin Xiangyang and his wife.

Meng Jingran was deeply shaken because he noticed a detail: although the banquet table was full of people, the head seat was still empty!

Even Qin Xiangyang and his wife deliberately avoided the main seats at the dinner table and sat in the seats of those who accompanied them while drinking.

As the mayor of Minghai City, Qin Xiangyang couldn't possibly be unaware of these things. And the fact that Qin Xiangyang, with his status and position, wasn't seated in the main seat can only mean one thing: the person sitting in the main seat has a higher status and position than Qin Xiangyang!

So far, there is only one person who has not arrived yet, and that is his brother-in-law's elder.

"Xiao Feng, when...when will your elder arrive?"

Meng Yuanhe finally couldn't hold back any longer and asked Lin Feng.

"It should be soon! When I asked downstairs, it was still a five-minute walk!"

Lin Feng spoke up.

Just then, the banquet hall door was pushed open, and a figure walked in.

The moment they saw the newcomer, Meng Boqu and Meng Botao's expressions changed drastically, and they stood up abruptly.

Qin Xiangyang and Yu Xiuqin also stood up instantly.

Meng Qingyao also stood up in surprise: "Director Shen... Director Shen."

It was Shen Anmin who arrived.

The others hadn't attended the trade fair and naturally hadn't seen Shen Anmin before, but when they saw Qin Xiangyang and his wife stand up, and Meng Qingyao exclaimed "Director Shen," they immediately understood the identity of the person in front of them and were incredibly shocked.

"Sorry to keep you all waiting, something came up!"

Shen Anmin addressed the crowd apologetically, then looked at Meng Qingyao with a gentle smile and said, "Meng girl, this is a private banquet. You and Xiaofeng have already registered your marriage, why are you calling me Director Shen? Shouldn't you call me Uncle?"
