In the afternoon, He Zhenhua let his father's driver rest, and he personally drove his parents and two children straight to the Han family.
Gu Qishen had lunch at the He family's house and then drove with the He family to the Han family's house, as he was also among those invited.
Han Xiao has a few close old friends in L Province, but he doesn't plan to have them come to C City in a big way. He'll treat them to a meal another time.
So tonight's dinner party includes the Yuan family, the He family, Gu Qishen, Jian Xiaolin, and others.
When the He family and Gu Qishen arrived, the house immediately became lively because there were two children.
He Chenglin was very happy to see Yuan Fengshan, because He Chenglin and Yuan Fengshan had worked together in the same system before. Although it was not for long, the two were quite familiar with each other and had a good relationship.
Now that the two families are related, their relationship has naturally deepened.
He Chenglin and Yuan Fengshan hugged each other, patted each other on the back, looked at each other, and laughed heartily.
Yuan Fengshan said, "I never expected, Lao He, that we would meet here and become relatives. When I first met Yuhan, I felt that her background was extraordinary, but I never expected that she came from a prestigious family."
No wonder Yuhan has such a unique temperament, even though she grew up in the countryside; it's all thanks to the He family's genes.”
He Chenglin laughed and said, "If it weren't for my in-laws, I don't know when I would have found my daughter. So it's really fate that we met. I have to thank my in-laws."
Yuan Fengshan said, "Yuhan and Yixian are a match made in heaven, and Xiuqin only played the role of matchmaker."
"It's been over ten years since we last met, so let's have a few more drinks today."
He Chenglin laughed and said, "Then I will definitely risk my life to accompany you."
Han Xiao said from the side, "Let's drink to our hearts' content today, and not leave until we're drunk."
Yuan Fengshan laughed and said, "That won't do. Today is your wedding banquet, and you're the groom. If we get you drunk, the ladies' army won't let us off the hook. But we'll definitely have our fill today. I haven't had my fill of the good wine that Yuhan prepared yet."
The men were chatting enthusiastically, and the women were not to be outdone. Yu Huiru was meeting Han Xiuqin for the first time, but she had often heard her daughter mention Han Xiuqin before, so she was quite familiar with her.
She was very grateful to Han Xiuqin for bringing her daughter out of the countryside; otherwise, she didn't know what would have become of her daughter.
Yu Huiru held Han Xiuqin's hand and said, "It's not easy for my aunt-in-law to come all this way, so please stay a few more days this time and let us do our part as hosts."
Han Xiuqin laughed and said, "There's nothing I can do. My husband and I are both very busy with work. It's already quite difficult for us to take this time to come to City C."
From now on, we'll be relatives. Old Yuan and our in-laws used to work together, so we'll be seeing each other for a long time to come."
Han Xiuqin took He Yuhan's hand, who was sitting next to her, and said, "Yuhan, are you tired? Don't just stay with us, go and rest if you're tired."
He Yuhan shook her head and smiled, "It's nothing, I just like being sleepy, it's a normal reaction."
Yu Huiru is very worried because her daughter has been increasingly sleepy lately. "Yuhan has been sleeping more and more lately, and I don't know if this will affect Yuhan's health and the development of the baby in my belly. As her mother, I can't help but worry."
Han Xiuqin said, "Sister Yu, I understand how you feel. A mother will always worry about her child. Although I'm not an obstetrician, I do know a little about obstetrics and gynecology, and Yuhan's situation should be normal."
Besides, Yuhan and Jinyu are both doctors; they're the first to notice anything amiss.
Everyone was having a good time chatting when there was a knock on the courtyard gate.
Yuan Qihua immediately stood up and said, "There must be guests. I'll go open the door."
When Yuan Qihua opened the courtyard gate, he saw two women, a middle-aged woman and a young woman. Thinking they were guests invited by his uncle, he asked, "Are you here for the banquet?"
When Luo Minjuan saw that the person who opened the door was a young and handsome man, she guessed that he might be Yuan Qihua, Han**'s nephew, so she smiled and said, "You must be Yuan Qihua?"
Upon hearing that the other person recognized him, Yuan Qihua became even more certain that they had come to attend the banquet. He nodded and said, "Yes, I am Yuan Qihua."
Luo Minjuan's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she smiled and said, "We're here to attend tonight's banquet."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Qihua quickly said, "Then please come in."
As he spoke, Yuan Qihua made way for Luo Minjuan and her daughter, allowing them to enter the courtyard.
This was Luo Minjuan's first time visiting Han Yixian's place. She was struck by how grand the house and courtyard were, and how clean and tidy they were. The courtyard was shaded by green trees, blooming with flowers, and even had a swing under a grape trellis. The environment was simply delightful.
Luo Minjuan felt a surge of resentment at the thought of He Yuhan becoming the mistress of the house. Her daughter should have been the mistress, but He Yuhan had stolen such a good marriage opportunity from her.
Without thinking twice, Luo Minjuan pulled Jian Chunhua and followed Yuan Qihua into the living room.
Han Xiao thought it was Jian Xiaolin who had come, but unexpectedly, two women entered.
He had seen Luo Minjuan before, and upon closer inspection, he recognized her. He immediately realized that the young woman following behind Luo Minjuan was Jian Xiaolin's daughter, Jian Chunhua, and his face darkened.
He had only invited Jian Xiaolin, but unexpectedly, before Jian Xiaolin arrived, the Jian family mother and daughter, Luo Minjuan and Jian Chunhua, showed up first. He didn't know if Jian Xiaolin had sent them or if the two women had come on their own initiative.
In his view, these two people were uninvited guests.
The He family frowned when they saw Luo Minjuan and her daughter arrive.
Luo Minjuan also knew Han Xiao and recognized him at a glance. She immediately smiled and came up to Han Xiao, saying, "Han**, Lao Jian told us that your family is having a dinner party and invited us to attend. He had some things to take care of at work, so my daughter Chunhua and I came first."
Han Xiao didn't want Luo Minjuan and her daughter to ruin his wedding banquet, so he said, "I didn't invite you. I have something to do at home today. Please come another day."
Han Xiao's words were completely direct, without any euphemisms.
Luo Minjuan was genuinely surprised that Han Xiao had been so disrespectful, embarrassing her in front of so many people, especially the He family. Her awkward smile froze, and she didn't know how to respond.
Seeing that her mother was speechless, Jian Chunhua said from the side, "Uncle Han, my mother heard that you came to City C and wanted to come and see you. My father was coming to your house for a party, so we took the liberty of coming to visit. Please don't mind, Uncle Han. This is a gift my mother prepared for you. Please accept it."
As she spoke, she placed the gift she had prepared on the coffee table.
