Upon hearing Song Youying's voice, Song Ziqing's face immediately broke into a wide smile.

Her voice trembled with excitement: "Yingzi, what a coincidence! That's right, we're in Guangzhou attending the Canton Fair."

Come over quickly, we're staying at the Baiyun Hotel, room number 306.

Oh, right, Zhang Xiang is in Guangcheng too! That's fantastic! We'll be reunited soon!

After hanging up the phone, Song Ziqing returned to her seat with a heart full of joy, as if she were surrounded by happiness.

Unable to contain her excitement, she couldn't wait to share the good news with Lin Chengyu: "Youying said that her Shengang Village is also participating in the Canton Fair, and she immediately asked Youjun to send her over."

Zhang Xiang seems to be the leader of the Shenzhen-Hong Kong village delegation. He happens to be in Guangcheng as well, and I expect he'll come to the Baiyun Hotel to find us in a little while.

Lin Chengyu was also very happy to hear this, and a bright smile appeared on his face.

He exclaimed with emotion, "That's wonderful! It's been so many years, I have no idea what everyone looks like now."

His words revealed a longing for and anticipation of past friendships.

The two sat in the antique-style teahouse, savoring the fragrant tea.

They chatted and admired the scenery outside the window. Before they knew it, the pot of tea was empty.

Afterwards, they tried the teahouse's signature snacks—radish cake and flaky lotus seed paste buns.

The radish cake is soft and delicious with a subtle fragrance; the lotus seed paste bun has a crispy outer layer and a sweet but not cloying filling, leaving a lingering aftertaste.

After enjoying the delicious food, the two left the teahouse contentedly and went straight back to the Baiyun Hotel.

As soon as I arrived at Baiyun Hotel, I saw a familiar person standing at the hotel entrance in the distance. It was Zhang Xiang, the boy who had a scholarly air about him. After more than ten years, he had become mature and steady!

Zhang Xiang spotted the two of them from afar and quickened his pace to meet them.

When they got closer, the three of them smiled at each other without prior arrangement, as if time had never passed and the slight awkwardness caused by not seeing each other for many years vanished in an instant.

Then, as if to make up for all the hugs they had missed over the years, they embraced tightly, their hearts filled with indescribable excitement.

"Long time no see!" Zhang Xiang's voice was slightly hoarse, perhaps due to his intense emotions.

“That’s right, it’s been a long time!” Song Ziqing and Lin Chengyu responded almost simultaneously.

"Now that I'm married to Youying, according to etiquette, I should call you 'little aunt' and 'little uncle' just like her! This marriage has really lowered my generational ranking by a lot!"

Although Zhang Xiang's words were meant to be complaints, the faint smile on his lips betrayed his true feelings, which Song Ziqing and his wife clearly saw.

"Haha, congratulations, Zhang Xiang!" Song Ziqing said with a smile.

"Thank you, Auntie!" Zhang Xiang smiled as well.

"By the way, when will Youying be able to come to Guangcheng? By the way, I heard from Youying that you and your husband have three children, two daughters and one son."

"When Youying comes to Guangcheng, please have her bring all three children with her so we can meet them too," Song Ziqing asked.

Lin Chengyu was envious of Song Youying and his wife having two daughters. His family had four children, but only one daughter, Xiaoyu. Usually, the elders in the family liked to keep Xiaoyu by their side, letting her learn and be raised by them.

The couple found it incredibly difficult to get involved in their daughter's education.

He only had time to spend alone with Xiaoyu when she asked Song Ziqing questions about painting.

However, Lin Chengyu was different from others; he was busy with his family's business dealings and various investment matters all day long.

Every night, when he returns home after a busy day at work, he is overjoyed and wants to spend time with his beloved daughter, only to be surprised to find that one daughter is simply not enough to go around!

It turns out that the child had already been "snatched" away by the elders in the family long before he returned!

Faced with such a predicament, Lin Chengyu had no choice but to find another way, pouring all his overflowing but misplaced fatherly love into buying things for his daughter.

From small items like the various types of drawing paper, brushes, and colorful paints her daughter needs for painting; to larger items like her pretty clothes, dresses, and exquisite accessories.

It can be said that Lin Chengyu would buy anything his daughter liked or needed in her daily life and studies without hesitation and give it to her as a gift.

It seemed that only through this method could he slightly alleviate the deep and intense love he felt for his daughter, allowing it to find some release and comfort.

After staying in the hotel for a long time, the three of them finally walked out of the hotel.

They inquired everywhere and went through many twists and turns before finally finding the legendary Guangcheng Restaurant.

This restaurant has a long history dating back to 1935.

Its flagship store is located at the intersection of Wenchang South Road and Xiajiu Road in Guangzhou. It is renowned for its exquisite culinary skills and authentic traditional Cantonese cuisine, and is hailed as "the number one restaurant in Guangzhou".

This place has an extremely advantageous geographical location, situated in the most prosperous and bustling area of ​​Xiguan.

Within a radius of two kilometers, it extends east to streets such as Renmin Road, Dade, Yide, Huifu, Daxin, and Zhongshan Sixth Road in the city, south to the Thirteen Factories, Xidi, and Shamian, west to the "Three Treasures of Xiguan," and north to the prosperous towns of Enzhou and Pantang, and is also closely adjacent to the ancient Hualin Temple.

This area is teeming with shops, including money exchanges, gold shops, foreign trade warehouses, and various stores selling silk fabrics, rosewood furniture, and more, offering a dazzling array of goods.

Countless merchants flocked to the area, creating a massive, bustling scene, like a swarm of locusts crossing a river.

In addition, this place has been permeated with a strong cultural atmosphere for thousands of years, with many scholarly families and well-arranged residences and courtyards.

Not only did wealthy merchants and retired officials reside here, but also many young masters from Xiguan and ladies from prominent families frequently frequented the area.

Being able to run a business in such a place truly means having the right timing, location, and people, possessing unique advantages.

Even while walking through it, Song Ziqing could feel the cultural atmosphere.

Even her ring space absorbed a lot of literary energy when passing through those ancient streets and old Xiguan mansions. Because of the presence of this literary energy, the small room in the ring space was directly upgraded into a Xiguan mansion, looking antique and elegant.

The rooms inside the Xiguan mansion had become more numerous and larger, and it was now two stories high. Seeing these changes, she couldn't wait to go back to the hotel to check it out.
