Liu Xiangnan suddenly shouted, "I want to go too! I want to go too!"
Just as Liu Jinxiang was about to reprimand her, Ye Feng said, "Cultivation requires a balance of intensity and relaxation. Since she wants to go, let's take her with us and let her relax a bit."
"Since you've put it that way, Mr. Ye, then alright."
Liu Jinxiang nodded.
Liu Xiangnan was overjoyed and kept giggling.
Night fell.
Liu Jinxiang, carrying birthday gifts, went with Ye Feng and Liu Xiangnan to the Chen residence to attend the birthday banquet of Mr. Chen's mother.
Upon arriving at the gate of the Chen family mansion, the three of them disembarked from the carriage together.
The Chen family's steward immediately came out from the courtyard to greet them, and his attitude was incredibly warm.
"President Jinxiang, you've finally arrived! Our master has been waiting for you inside for quite some time," the Chen family's butler said with a hearty laugh.
"I'm sorry, I was busy and was a little delayed," Liu Jinxiang said.
"It's alright, it's alright," the Chen family steward waved his hands repeatedly.
Liu Jinxiang presented the birthday gifts she had prepared. After the Chen family steward took a look, he instructed the servant in charge of registration to register Liu Jinxiang's birthday gifts.
Another servant shouted towards the Chen family mansion, "President Jinxiang has arrived—"
The Chen family steward gestured for them to come in and said, "President Jinxiang, please come in."
Liu Jinxiang then walked inside with Ye Feng and Liu Xiangnan.
Just then, the Chen family steward raised his hand to stop Ye Feng.
“We’ve prepared a small courtyard for the guards. You can go and rest there,” said the Chen family steward.
The night wind chuckled silently.
This butler actually thought he was Liu Jinxiang's bodyguard?
However, it's not surprising that he would have such a misunderstanding.
After all, Liu Jinxiang and Liu Xiangnan were adorned with gold and silver, clearly indicating their extraordinary status, while Ye Feng dressed simply and plainly, without any accessories.
Even calling them guards is a bit shabby.
Several servants from the Chen family nearby were already whispering among themselves.
"The Golden Fragrance Merchant Guild is one of the most famous merchant guilds in our Fengchi City, so why are their guards so shabby?"
"Yeah, how can you bring a bodyguard like that out in public? It's so embarrassing!"
Liu Jinxiang frowned and said very seriously to the Chen family steward, "You have misunderstood. He is not my guard, but my friend. I brought him to this birthday banquet."
"this……"
The Chen family steward hesitated for a moment before forcing a smile and said, "I'm really sorry, President Jinxiang, your friend's attire was too understated. Forgive my poor eyesight, I couldn't recognize him just now. I apologize to you."
"It's nothing, it doesn't matter," Ye Feng said casually.
Then Liu Jinxiang, Ye Feng, and Liu Xiangnan walked together toward the mansion.
This time, the Chen family steward did not stop them.
However, after Liu Jinxiang, Ye Feng, and Liu Xiangnan entered the courtyard, the servants said one after another, "Master Steward, did you really let that guy in? Tonight, all the people who came to celebrate the old lady's birthday are important figures of extraordinary status. That guy is obviously not a person of status or position. It's probably not appropriate for him to enter the banquet."
"Yes, I also think it's inappropriate! What if the master blames us..."
The Chen family steward retorted, "If the master blames someone, he'll blame me. What does it have to do with you? Even if that gentleman isn't a big shot and isn't qualified to attend our Chen family's birthday banquet, he's still someone brought by the Golden Fragrance Merchant Guild. Can we stop him?"
"Alright, alright, get back to your work and stop getting in the way!"
After the steward of the Chen family finished speaking, he drove all the servants away.
At this moment, Liu Jinxiang, Ye Feng, and Liu Xiangnan had already entered the banquet hall.
Mr. Chen strode over and, upon reaching her, cupped his hands in greeting, saying, "President Jinxiang, you've kept me waiting for so long."
"I'm so sorry, there were so many things to do at the Chamber of Commerce, I just finished. I rushed over as soon as I was done, but I didn't expect to be so late. Please don't be offended, Mr. Chen," Liu Jinxiang said.
"President Jinxiang, your presence has already shown me, Chen, great respect. I'm overjoyed, how could I possibly blame you?"
Liu Jinxiang turned to look at Ye Feng and introduced him with a smile: "Mr. Ye, this is Chen Donglai, the owner of Donglai Chamber of Commerce."
"Mm." Night Breeze nodded.
Seeing Ye Feng's indifferent reaction, Chen Donglai seemed somewhat dissatisfied.
He looked at Ye Feng and asked, "President Jin Xiang, who is this Mr. Ye...?"
Just as Liu Jinxiang was about to introduce herself, Ye Feng took the initiative to say, "I just came here with President Jinxiang to join in the fun. As for my identity, let's not talk about it."
Chen Donglai looked Ye Feng up and down a few times, his dissatisfaction growing stronger.
You're obviously not some big shot, so why are you pretending to be so profound in front of me!
If it weren't for President Jin Xiang's sake, I would have given the order to kick you out long ago!
Chen Donglai thought to himself, but still had a smile on his face: "In that case, I won't ask any more questions... President Jinxiang, please take a seat."
Liu Jinxiang thanked him, then hugged Liu Xiangnan and sat down with Ye Feng at the front table.
"So much delicious food!" Liu Xiangnan stared at the sumptuous meal on the table, her eyes sparkling.
And as soon as she finished speaking, Liu Xiangnan reached out her small hands and grabbed the roast chicken on the table.
Liu Jinxiang quickly pressed down Liu Xiangnan's hand and scolded in a low voice, "It's not time to eat yet, wait a little longer!"
"Fine," Liu Xiangnan said reluctantly.
Ye Feng smiled and said, "If the child wants to eat, then eat. I don't think Chen Donglai will mind."
"Well... alright then." Liu Jinxiang finally nodded.
Liu Xiangnan cheered and immediately grabbed the food from the plate, holding it in her hands and taking big bites.
Seeing Liu Xiangnan eating with her mouth full of oil, Ye Feng couldn't help but chuckle.
If I have a child with Sun Muqing in the future, and that child is as lively and adorable as Xiangnan, that seems pretty good.
But if it's a mischievous boy, then it can be a real headache.
Just then, Chen Donglai helped an elderly woman with snow-white hair out and sat down in the grand chair at the top.
It was obvious that the old lady was Chen Donglai's seventy-year-old mother, and also the protagonist of today's birthday banquet.
Chen Donglai clapped his hands and said to the audience, "Thank you all for coming to celebrate my mother's 70th birthday. I would like to thank you all..."
After Chen Donglai finished speaking, it was his mother's turn.
The tedious process made Ye Feng frown slightly.
Just then, the roast chicken that Liu Xiangnan was holding suddenly rolled out of her hands and fell to the ground with a thud.
