Xia Xi looked at the table and saw that there were about twenty people in total, including boys and girls. There were not many girls in the architecture major, so only four came, including her roommate Zhao Lei.
Just as he thought of her, Xia Xi received a private message from Zhao Lei.
Zhao Lei: "Baby, have you seen the message in our class group?"
Xia Xi pretended not to see: "What's wrong?"
Zhao Lei: "I knew you didn't see it! The class monitor organized a class reunion on the evening of the 11th, which is right during the holidays. I heard you're back in China, do you want to come over and play with us?"
As if afraid that Xia Xi would refuse, Zhao Lei immediately sent a message: "Come on, come on, just consider it as accompanying me. I don't know the other three girls well, and I'm afraid it will be awkward."
Xia Xi had wanted to go anyway, so she easily persuaded her: "Okay."
Zhao Lei was so happy that she sent her a voice message saying "mmmmm" several times: "I'll go tell the squad leader to add your name."

The next day was Mid-Autumn Festival. In the evening, the Xu and Ling families had a dinner together.
It was an invitation from the Ling family, saying that the two families hadn't gotten together for a long time, and wanted to take advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival to have a meal together.
The venue was arranged at a grand hotel owned by Ling’s family.
The luxurious box was filled with sparkling crystal chandeliers, and the red lacquered wooden round table was filled with exquisite and delicious dishes, creating a harmonious atmosphere.
Ling Yan dressed up and sat next to Xu Yanfeng. She had begged her parents to arrange this dinner tonight, with the purpose of finalizing her marriage to Xu Yanfeng.
Yesterday, she met Xia Xi by chance in the restaurant and witnessed Xu Yanfeng's protection of Xia Xi, which was a big blow to her. She didn't sleep the whole night and was anxious. She didn't want to wait any longer and desperately hoped that their relationship could be set in stone.
She stole a glance at Xu Yanfeng, took a sip of the juice beside her, and prayed that things would go as she wished.
After a round of greetings between the two elders, the topic naturally turned to the two children.
Mother Ling patted her daughter's back and said with a smile, "This girl of ours has no future. She is completely devoted to Afeng. There is nothing we can do about her."
"Mom, why do you say that?" Ling Yan's face flushed red, and she looked at her mother in a reproachful manner. Her shy look showed the demeanor of a little girl, and her voice was also very soft.
Xu Yanfeng's mother, Zhong Yinghong, continued, "We watched Ling grow up. She's not unsuccessful at all. She's incredibly talented and a role model for so many wealthy families. You have no idea how much I wanted a daughter like her. Alas, this wish can't be fulfilled, but finding a daughter-in-law like her is something I could consider."
Ling's father took the opportunity to suggest, "Yanfeng is thirty this year, right? They say that by thirty one is established, so it's time to start a family. The two children are very much in love, so I think we should arrange the marriage this year. If there's no time for a wedding, we can get engaged first."
Xu Yanfeng's father, Xu Guanshan, agreed immediately: "I think it's okay."
Everything went incredibly smoothly. Ling Yan was so happy that her fingers were trembling with excitement. However, she kept a reserved smile on her face and did not express any opinions at this time, as if she was leaving it to her parents to decide.
Zhong Yinghong always respected Xu Yanfeng's ideas and was not as arbitrary as Xu Guanshan. She looked at Xu Yanfeng, who was sitting as steady as a mountain, and asked gently, "Afeng, what do you think?"
