People came in one after another at the banquet, and families were moving around, but they were unaware of the banquet next door. In fact, Yue Wenxing and Yue Wenzhi had not shown up at all.

"Mom, why aren't Dad and the others out yet? I've already eaten several pieces of milk cake." Yue Mingyuan regretted coming out so early; it would have been so much better to come out with her dad and the others.

"If you're bored, have someone call your brother over. Minghao and Mingze are there, but they don't even bother to come and help," Madam Wang said.

Speak of the devil, and he appears. "Hey ladies, I'm here! Don't blame me if you scold my brother later." Yue Mingze came up behind them.

"Oh my, you little rascal, you scared me! When are your dad and the others coming?" Wang Wanfeng patted her chest. "Mom! They'll be here soon. Let me give you a shoulder massage," Yue Mingze said with a smile.

"Stop grinning like that, the guests are all here. Hey, what's that piano music over there?" Wang Wanfeng's attention was drawn by the noise from next door. "If you two don't want to stay here, go over there and come back later."

"No, no, it's much scarier over there than here." Yue Mingyuan quickly shook her head, while Yue Mingze next to her was also suppressing a laugh. "Mom, look, Uncle Xian is coming over from behind. They'll be here soon."

Sure enough, Yue Wenxing appeared with a group of people in less than five minutes. Yue Lanxing stood out among them, since everyone else was a familiar face except for one good-looking person who was also in the Yue family group.

Yue Lanxing accepted everyone's gaze with composure until Yue Wenxing announced his identity. Coupled with the achievements he had made in the past six months, it was like a boulder thrown into a pond, stirring up a thousand waves.

"Oh my, the Yue family is so lucky! You have such a handsome nephew. We should have introduced him to everyone last year." Someone said to Yue Wenxing.

Yue Wenxing patted Yue Lanxing on the shoulder, "I let him get some experience outside before, but now that he's been recognized by the family, I immediately let you know. If you need anything in Shanghai in the future, just mention his name."

"That's great! Lanxing, what businesses do you have in Shanghai?"

Yue Lanxing lowered his head modestly, "It's not a big business, just some reputation."

He spoke seriously, and the others genuinely thought he was just playing around. However, some people recognized Yue Lanxing, such as the eldest son of the Fang family, who was shocked from the moment he appeared.

Fang Laoda came with the Fang family, so it wasn't his turn to offer a toast yet. But he knew Yue Lanxing, the man who had made Shanghai lively in just six months.

He never expected that he was here to attend the banquet celebrating Yue Lanxing's return to the Yue family. It was truly a case of the flood washing away the Dragon King's temple; the family members no longer recognized each other.

We finally arrived at the Fang family's residence. The eldest son of the Fang family took the seat at the front. "Lanxing can be considered a rising star in Shanghai. We'll need to communicate more with them when we get back."

"Brother Fang, just call me if you need anything. I've been too busy lately to visit you often." Yue Lanxing clinked glasses with him.

"Not at all, it's not easy to go to my place. If I need to find you, I'll come to Maple Leaf Mansion," Brother Fang said.

While they were exchanging ideas, it was Xu Zhaoyue's turn. Jin Fuzhu had already finished her performance, and naturally, there was plenty of applause. Their teacher was also watching from the side.

The piano teacher has many students, including Yue Mingyuan. However, Yue Mingyuan is too embarrassed to come over and perform in front of so many people.

Jin Fuzhu stood up and pulled Xu Zhaoyue over, saying, "The teacher has been praising you to me. Let's have a competition and see who's better."

Xu Zhaoyue also figured something out. It seemed that Jin Fuzhu wanted to compete with her. Could it be that her competitive spirit was aroused because the teacher was here? With this question in mind, Xu Zhaoyue sat down on the piano bench.

The piece begins with a smooth flow of notes, and the ten-minute-long piece is a treat for the ears of the listener. Even people walking around can slow down and listen for a while.

There was indeed one person who stopped and listened for quite a while, but his father pulled him away, saying, "If you hadn't delayed us, would we have arrived so late? We were still listening to someone play the piano."

"Dad, Dad, keep your voice down, other people can hear you. That's my friend, what's wrong with me listening?" Liu Xuan quickly followed his father over. "With our family's status, we wouldn't have anything to do if we came early."

"You're only thinking about these things. If you had come earlier, you could have struck up a conversation with the others." Liu's father was giving him a serious lecture. Whether Liu Xuan listened or not was secondary; at least he appeared to be taking it seriously.

As Liu Xuan was being criticized, Yue Mingyuan happened to see it, and even his soft chuckle was caught. Yue Mingyuan realized that he had been discovered and couldn't admit his identity, otherwise the person in front of him would be even more embarrassed.

"Second brother, I'm going over there first. The music sounds really nice." Yue Mingyuan made an excuse and slipped away.

After Liu's father led Liu Xuan through the crowd, Liu Xuan finally looked at the Yue family's side. He was shocked when he saw them. "Yue Lanxing, you...you look so handsome!"

"Are you Liu Xuan?" Yue Lanxing could still recognize him, but it felt a little strange not to meet him on the ship.

Seeing that Yue Lanxing was dressed so well and that she was with a member of the Yue family, Liu Xuan realized that she really was related to the Yue family. "Hey, I didn't see you on the spring outing that day. I chatted with Miss Zhaoyue for a long time."

"What?" Yue Lanxing's mind went blank. Was Miss Zhaoyue referring to Xu Zhaoyue? When was the spring outing? Did he not know about the young lady's disappearance?

Before Yue Lanxing could process what was happening, he suddenly froze, feeling as if his blood had turned back to its normal flow. It had been so long since anyone had mentioned Xu Zhaoyue's name in front of him.
