He Mingbo paused slightly, his gaze sweeping back and forth between Lu Han and Shen Licheng, but he didn't shake Shen Licheng's hand.

Instead, he grabbed Lu Han's hand that was hanging by her side.

"Lu Han, everyone here today is a big shot. Do you know who Shen Licheng is?"

"His grandfather did something big back then, which made the Shen family famous. Who doesn't know the renown of the young master of the Shen family!"

Lu Han hadn't heard much about what happened in He Mingbo's era.

Even if someone in his family mentions it, he has no interest in listening.

But Shen Licheng's expression had already changed.

"Uncle He, you are joking. Our Shen family is just an ordinary family, not comparable to the foundation you have built by traveling all over the country."

The two exchanged pleasantries as if there was a story behind it, but Lu Zhengming's arrival interrupted the conversation.

He Mingbo strolled back to his seat with leisurely steps and discussed something in a low voice with Master Hong.

Lu Zhengming came to see Lu Han.

He nodded to Shen Licheng and then pulled Lu Han aside.

Shen Licheng felt extremely resentful being left out, so he turned around and went downstairs dejectedly.

"Han'er, what time is it? Why hasn't your third sister arrived yet!"

Lu Zhengming raised his hand to look at his watch, his face full of anxiety.

If she weren't coming back, it would be one thing if she didn't show up, but since Lu Baoqi has returned to Jiangzhou, why is she dragging her feet and refusing to show herself?

Many people here today came because of her.

He was hoping that Lu Baoqi could toast those big clients and build rapport!

Lu Han was also puzzled.

Could that crazy woman have suddenly decided to go film another movie?

Lu Han asked about the assistant he had arranged for Lu Baoqi and also made a phone call to Feng Anna.

Feng Anna said with certainty: Lu Baoqi has already returned to Jiangzhou.

"Lu Han, I personally took her to the airport and waited until the flight took off before leaving. You don't even trust me, do you?"

Feng Anna's words completely put Lu Han at ease.

The sponge that I had stuffed in my chest last night was suddenly pulled out, and my breathing became much easier.

Lu Han chuckled twice, "How could I not trust you? Alright, take care of yourself, I'll be back soon!"

Feng Anna added, "Perhaps your third sister wants to give you some surprise..."

Lu Zhengming frowned as he looked at him, but after listening to his explanation, his expression gradually relaxed.

"This Baoqi is getting more and more outrageous. You go downstairs and wait for her. I need to say a few words to President He and Master Hong..."

Before he finished speaking, a commotion suddenly arose downstairs.

Just then, a waiter brought up the drinks, and Lu Han stopped him to ask, "Who's downstairs?"

The waiter shook his head. "I don't know. The Lu family booked the whole place today. Most of the guests here are probably VIPs invited by the Lu family!"

He finished speaking expressionlessly, then picked up his wine and walked towards He Mingbo.

Seeing that He Mingbo wasn't being polite and had ordered the hotel's most expensive drinks, Lu Zhengming gave up the idea of ​​going to greet them.

Turning around and walking down the stairs, she said, "Han'er, come with me to see. By the way... what does Shen Licheng want with you?"

The father and son walked one in front of the other.

Lu Han mumbled, "He asked me why my second sister hadn't arrived yet, and I made up a random excuse, which made him a little upset."

"My second sister is getting so close to the Huo family now, he must be jealous."

Actually, Lu Han didn't understand what Shen Licheng meant by those words. It sounded like Lu Baofei had caused trouble for his family.

"Envious?"

Lu Zhengming smirked, "He's jealous of everyone now. The Shen family is probably in for a world of trouble. You should stay away from him."

As I walked down the stairs, the sounds from the doorway became clearer.

"Young Master Yi is here! I knew he would come!"

"Look how moved Mrs. Lu is, she's almost crying herself to sleep!"

"Let's just say how foolish the Lu family must be. If they hadn't driven Young Master Yi away, they would definitely be the richest family in Jiangzhou right now!"

"Who can argue with that? The Fan family got a huge windfall, and the Gu family benefited too, but what about the Lu family... tsk tsk, it's just that the Lu family wasn't destined to be the richest family!"

"Actually, the Fan family and the Gu family are nothing. Look at the Huo family of Fengcheng. When Huo Jingxi came back, the Huo family had nothing. And now..."

"Now everyone is eager to curry favor with the Huo family. Even those who can't get close will wander around the Huo residence hoping to get some luck."

"It's a pity that the marriage of Young Master Yi was arranged by the Fan family. The Lu family didn't even have the right to interfere. Speaking of which, Madam Lu is also a pitiful person!"

The cacophony of voices reached his ears, and Lu Zhengming's face visibly darkened.

Lu Han's steps were heavy, and her fists clenched involuntarily.

He carefully observed Lu Zhengming's expression and tentatively said, "Dad, today is Mother's birthday. What's he doing here causing trouble? I'll go and chase him away!"

Lu Yi's attendance at the banquet was expected, but what did he mean by overstepping his bounds and usurping the host's role?

As they spoke, the father and son went downstairs.

The restaurant entrance was packed with people, and even the strictly managed waiters were secretly peeking in.

Several female waitresses even took out their phones to secretly take pictures.

Someone shouted, and the crowd parted to make way. Only then did Lu Han realize that the person who had caused the commotion was none other than Lu Yi.

His features were sharper than before, but the dark tuxedo with its satin collar made him appear so approachable.

His aloof demeanor and soft features blended perfectly with his features, as Qin Fengying, wearing a velvet suit, stood beside him.

The harmonious scene between the mother and son made Lu Han's heart bleed!

He cracked his knuckles, realizing something was wrong, and quickly looked at Lu Zhengming, but Lu Zhengming didn't notice his lapse in composure at all.

They had already headed towards the hotel entrance.

"Yi'er, you've come!"

Lu Zhengming walked through the crowd, his back straight, feeling proud.

"Mr. Lu, Mrs. Lu invited me in advance, it would be inappropriate not to come."

Lu Yi responded to him indifferently.

The onlookers around booed.

The drama of confronting one's family of origin always allows people to find a sense of pleasure in resisting against their will.

Especially these melodramatic scenes set in wealthy families—I never get tired of them!

"Zhengming, it's good that the child is here. Yes, almost everyone has arrived, so we should start the feast!"

Lu Yi's arrival greatly satisfied Qin Fengying's vanity.

Lu Han was the face of the Lu family, and now Lu Yi is the substance of the Lu family.

The banquet was well-organized and impressive, and she was happier than ever.

"Han'er, come here, come to Mommy..."

Qin Fengying looked over Lu Zhengming's shoulder and saw Lu Han walking slowly towards her with his hands in his pockets. She quickly waved.

She led her two sons, one on each side, into the hotel.

Lu Zhengming walked naturally beside Lu Yi.

Lu Baofei and Lu Baoyun, who had already arrived and were greeting guests, both breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this scene.

If Yi'er can come, then this banquet was not in vain!
