The old leader glanced at Xiao Qingran, Luo Jiuyan and the two children, and finally shook Grandpa Luo's hand, excitedly saying "yes, yes".
The guests were all surprised to see that the old leader whom they often saw on TV actually appeared at the hundred-day party for Xiao Qingran and Luo Jiuyan's child.
The old leader is a busy man, how could he attend a banquet for such insignificant people?
Seeing the old leader being so respectful to Luo Jiuyan's grandfather, everyone's eyes towards Luo Jiuyan immediately changed.
"What is the origin of this Luo family? Even the old leader greeted us with a smile?"
"Doesn't Luo Jiuyan have no family and has been living in the Chu family?"
"Didn't the Chu family claim that Luo Jiuyan was an orphan before?"
Soon the banquet began. Xiao Qingran and Luo Jiuyan, holding their child, said a few words of thanks to the guests. Mr. Luo and Luo Qianqiu introduced themselves respectively.
"Today is the hundredth day celebration for my great-grandson Luo Shinian and great-granddaughter Luo Shisui. On behalf of the Luo family, I would like to thank everyone for taking the time out of their busy schedules to attend the banquet..."
As a family that has protected the land of Jiuzhou for thousands of years, the Luo family cannot reveal their identity to the outside world. Firstly, they do not want to get too close to the current leader. Secondly, they do not want to cause unnecessary trouble to the Lu and Xiao families.
Although Mr. Luo did not reveal his identity, anyone with a little knowledge could tell from his temperament and conversation that the Luo family was extraordinary.
Just at this moment, Mr. Chu came in with his two sons, and Mr. Luo's eyes suddenly fell on the three of them.
Old Master Chu intuitively felt that Old Master Luo's scrutinizing eyes were like X-rays, revealing everything in his heart.
Mr. Chu opened his mouth and wanted to call out "relatives", but he swallowed the words back.
He originally wanted to take advantage of the guests, but now Mr. Chu feels that as long as he shouts out, he will embarrass himself in front of the guests.
"Push me over! Let's give up on what we discussed before!"
Old Master Chu took a deep breath and no longer intended to confront the Luo family. He abandoned his plan to plot against Luo Jiuyan.
"Dad, today is a good opportunity. If you miss it, you won't have another chance."
Chu Lao San clenched his fists somewhat unwillingly.
"Third brother, things are different now. The Luo family must be very powerful. If it was just Luo Jiuyan, we still had a chance of winning. But Luo Jiuyan's grandfather and father are here, and they are not easy to fool. Listen to Dad and don't make things worse."
Mr. Luo's speech made those who had their own thoughts dare not act rashly.
Including the three members of the Wei family, no one dared to do anything rash. However, their eyes would occasionally fall on Wei Ziqing.
This made Wei Ziqing, who had originally planned to face her family bravely, feel very uncomfortable and frustrated.
As soon as the banquet ended, she left the hotel first.
The three members of the Wei family came back empty-handed.
The day after the banquet, rumors began to spread that the Luo Jiuyan family was so powerful that even the old leaders did not dare to provoke them.
Neither the Lu family nor the Xiao family paid any attention to such rumors.
On the third day after the banquet, the Wei family couldn't help but come to the Xiao family.
When Wei Ziqing heard that the Wei family was coming, her whole body tensed up and her face was full of nervousness.
"Ranran, what should I do? I'm clearly prepared to deal with my parents and the others. But now I suddenly don't dare."
Xiao Qingran had just coaxed the two children to sleep when she saw Wei Ziqing's expression and said slowly, "Just stick to your own heart and say whatever you want to say. No matter what the Wei family wants to do, don't agree. Remember, you still have me."
Xiao Qingran's words seemed to have magic, miraculously calming Wei Ziqing's heart.
She held Xiao Qingran's hand and nodded solemnly: "Ranran, don't worry, I will definitely resolve this matter this time. I will confront them. I will never let them lead me by the nose."
Wei Ziqing came to the living room and met the head of the Wei family, Madam Wei and Wei Zishu.
The three of them were waiting bored, and when they saw Wei Ziqing coming, they immediately stood up.
Madam Wei held onto Wei Ziqing's hand and wiped away her tears. "Qingqing, how can family grudges last overnight? Even if we were wrong in the past, you shouldn't have hidden from us and not come home!"
The head of the Wei family snorted coldly, "You've spoiled me. Now that you're back, don't even think about hiding anymore. Can't our Wei family accommodate someone like you, Wei Ziqing?"
Wei Zishu looked at Wei Ziqing hesitantly, and waited until his parents finished speaking before he spoke: "Qingqing, where have you been for all this time? Why can't we find you?"
Wei Ziqing said calmly, "I'll tell you where it is later. The reason I came back this time, besides attending Ranran's child's hundred-day celebration, is also to have a good talk with you guys."
"What did you want to talk about?"
Patriarch Wei asked sternly.
Madam Wei glared at the head of the Wei family and said, "The child has just returned, and you can't speak properly? If you scare her away again, and if she never comes back, you will have no daughter."
Wei Zishu sat down first: "Since you want to talk, then sit down and have a good talk!"
Patriarch Wei snorted coldly and sat down.
Madam Wei took Wei Ziqing's hand and sat next to the head of the Wei family.
Wei Zishu sat on the armchair opposite the three of them.
"Tell me, what do you want to talk to us about?"
The head of the Wei family looked at Wei Ziqing seriously.
Wei Ziqing met his eyes without any fear.
"I have a boyfriend, his family is in the ancient martial arts world."
As soon as Wei Ziqing finished speaking, the head of the Wei family stood up suddenly.
"What did you say? You've actually been to the Ancient Martial World?"
A gleam of brilliance flashed in Patriarch Wei's eyes. He'd heard a lot of rumors lately about the existence of an ancient martial arts world beyond their own. And quite a few people had come from there. As a businessman, he naturally had a keen sense of smell. If he could get in touch with someone from the ancient martial arts world and do business with them, he'd definitely make a fortune.
But he was troubled by not being able to find anyone from the ancient martial arts world.
Now Wei Ziqing actually said that her boyfriend is from the ancient martial arts world. It's really like someone giving you a pillow when you feel sleepy.
But compared to Patriarch Wei, Madam Wei's eyes widened in shock. "What ancient martial arts world? What are you talking about, Qingqing? How can you find a boyfriend without permission? What kind of family background does your boyfriend have? Is he worthy of our family? You are still young, don't be fooled by some wild man out there. No, I'm really worried. Go and bring your boyfriend over so we can see him."
Patriarch Wei quickly said, "Yes, bring your boyfriend back to us and we'll check him out for you."
Wei Ziqing said calmly, "I'm looking for a boyfriend. I don't care what his status is. As long as he treats me well and I like him, that's all that matters. It's not that you can't meet him. But you have to agree to our marriage first. Otherwise, I won't bring him here."
