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

Whoosh!

Almost the instant Shen Anmin finished speaking, Meng Yuanhe stumbled and knocked the chair behind him to the ground.

Meng Boqu and Meng Botao, who were standing nearby, tried to help him up, but they couldn't manage to lift him up even after a long time, as he was trembling.

Holy crap!

Meng Bufan, however, raised his eyebrows rapidly, looked at Lin Feng, swallowed hard, and asked in a low voice, "Sister...brother-in-law, Director Shen is your uncle, right?"

Lin Feng smiled but didn't speak. He glanced at Meng Qingyao, who was still in a daze, then stood up and said to her, "Qingyao, this is my maternal uncle, Shen Anmin!"

"Hehe, Meng girl, we've met at the trade fair today, haven't we?"

Shen Anmin continued to speak with a smile.

"I...I..."

Meng Qingyao was naturally unable to adapt immediately. Finally, she took a deep breath and looked at Shen Anmin, saying, "Director Shen, I... I didn't know you were Lin Feng's..."

"Now you know? Aren't you going to change your tune?"

Shen Anmin's words were tinged with teasing.

Meng Qingyao's cheeks flushed slightly, and she glared at Lin Feng reproachfully before speaking, "Uncle!"

"Haha, that's more like it!"

Shen Anmin laughed loudly, then said seriously, "Xiao Feng's parents found out about your marriage registration. Since it's inconvenient for them to come, they specifically asked me to come over and see their Lin family's daughter-in-law."

Shen Anmin's casual remark caused everyone present to change their expressions once again.

Who would have thought that the director of the Commerce and Industry Association, who had caused such a stir in the business community of Minghai City, would come to Kyoto just to see Meng Qingyao?

"Uncle, this is Qingyao's grandfather, Meng Yuanhe, and this is Qingyao's uncle, Meng Boqu..."

Lin Feng then introduced the elders of the Meng family to Shen Anmin.

"Hehe, old man, we're relatives now. You'll have to be more tolerant of Xiaofeng's immature behavior."

Shen Anmin walked over and shook Meng Yuanhe's hand, giving Meng Yuanhe plenty of face.

"Definitely...definitely, Xiao Feng is a very good child, very good!"

Meng Yuanhe was so nervous that he forgot how to speak, and his palms were sweaty.

Shen Anmin then looked at Meng Boqu and Meng Botao and said with a smile, "Hehe, Brother Boqu, Brother Botao, we met this afternoon too."

Meng Botao and Meng Boqu were equally flattered and repeatedly agreed, their faces burning with embarrassment.

In the afternoon, they were still feeling smug because Shen Anmin and Yu Xiuqin took the initiative to shake hands with them, but in the end, it was because of their niece Meng Qingyao.

Fortunately, they didn't blame Meng Qingyao for missing the trade fair that afternoon; otherwise, they would have wanted to disappear into the ground.

Soon, after Lin Feng introduced them and they exchanged pleasantries, Shen Anmin sat down.

Because of Shen Anmin's identity, the Meng family members were somewhat reserved.

However, Shen Anmin and Qin Xiangyang were both experienced in such occasions, so the atmosphere didn't become awkward. In addition, with younger people like Meng Bufan present, the atmosphere at the dinner table immediately became lively after a few drinks.

The meal was fairly satisfactory.

The dinner party ended around nine o'clock in the evening.

Even as they walked out of the hotel, the Meng family and others felt as if they were in a dream. After the initial shock, they were overwhelmed with an indescribable sense of excitement.

Shen Anmin drank quite a bit of alcohol. After saying goodbye, he asked the driver to take him home to rest.

When Qin Xiangyang came out, he deliberately slowed down a few steps and walked with Meng Yuanhe, Meng Boqu, and Meng Botao. When there were not many people around, Qin Xiangyang stopped and looked at the three of them.

Seeing Qin Xiangyang stop, the three members of the Meng family also stopped in their tracks. It was clear that Qin Xiangyang had something to say to them.

"Mayor Qin, is there something you need?"

Meng Yuanhe looked at Qin Xiangyang hesitantly.

"There are indeed some things!"

Qin Xiangyang pondered for a moment, then said, "Grandpa Meng, we are no longer outsiders. From now on, the Qin family and the Meng family will share both prosperity and adversity. This is a settled matter, so I won't beat around the bush with you."

Upon hearing this, Meng Yuanhe and his two sons immediately straightened their expressions and nodded, saying, "Mayor Qin, please speak freely."

"Alright, no one knows about the relationship between Director Shen and Lin Feng except our two families. Moreover, Lin Feng's identity might be... a bit sensitive. Otherwise, Director Shen wouldn't have come to Minghai under the guise of an inspection! There are some things that Director Shen might not be able to say to your face, but I think it's better to remind you."

Qin Xiangyang spoke slowly, then chuckled, "Old Master Meng should know what to do, right?"

"Mayor Qin, rest assured, I will tell everyone to keep today's events to themselves when I get back."

Without hesitation, Meng Yuanhe immediately nodded and assured him.

"I'm relieved to hear what Grandpa Meng said!"

Seeing Meng Yuanhe's confident and resolute expression, Qin Xiangyang finally felt relieved. He exchanged a few more pleasantries with Meng Yuanhe before ending the conversation.

"Little Wind!"

Qin Xiangyang walked up to Lin Feng at the door and shook his hand: "I've always heard Xiao Zi talk about you. It's great to finally meet you today. Hehe, if you ever need anything in Minghai, just ask Qin Xiao. If Qin Xiao can't help you, come find me!"

"Uncle Qin, you're too kind. I won't stand on ceremony with Xiaozi."

Lin Feng laughed.

Upon hearing this, Qin Xiangyang burst into laughter, then looked at Qin Xiao and said, "You and Qianqian have drunk so much, don't drive. Take my car home."

Qin Xiao and Zhang Qian both drank quite a bit, as did Qin Xiangyang. Yu Xiuqin, however, didn't drink because she had already drunk at noon and had to consider matters concerning the Luo family, as tonight was a private occasion.

"That works too! Brother Feng, how will you get back?"

Qin Xiao looked at Lin Feng and said.

"Let Qingyao drive; she hasn't been drinking."

Lin Feng said that Meng Qingyao drank quite a bit at noon, so Shen Anmin simply had her drink tea instead of wine in the evening.

He opened the car door and got in, sitting in the passenger seat. At the same time, Lin Feng frowned slightly and glanced through the car window into the shadows in the corner of the parking lot.

"What's wrong? What are you looking at?"

Meng Qingyao, who was also sitting in the driver's seat, noticed Lin Feng's strange behavior and couldn't help but ask him curiously.

"It's nothing!"

Lin Feng shook his head, but a chill crept into his eyes. Was it coming for him?

"Sister-in-law, drive carefully!"

At this moment, Qin Xiao bent down to come in and handed Lin Feng a cigarette, then said to Meng Qingyao.

"Don't worry, I'm an experienced driver."

Meng Qingyao was still a little uncomfortable being called "sister-in-law" by Qin Xiao.

"Haha, that's good!"

Qin Xiao smiled, then looked at Lin Feng seriously: "Brother Feng, according to your plan, I will release Su Tianyang tomorrow."

"Okay, let it go!"

Lin Feng nodded, then said, "Alright, let's go back."

Qin Xiao nodded and turned to leave. After saying goodbye to Li Zuwang, Meng Bufan and the others, Meng Qingyao drove away with Lin Feng.

Of course, the two didn't plan to go back to the Meng family villa, but instead went back to live in Meng Qingyao's small house.

After everyone had left the car, a figure emerged from the shadows of the parking lot that Lin Feng had been looking out of the car window. It was Xu Shan.
