Chapter 376: 375 rooms full of red balloon flowers

"Mr. President, Old Master Wen and your parents have already arrived."

Wen Nian, dressed in a white shirt with the sleeves rolled up twice, was bending over watering the plants.

A huge greenhouse was before him, filled with red bellflowers, sparkling and beautiful.

This was the venue for the wedding ceremony, where guests were arriving in droves.

He straightened up, set the watering can aside, took a wet towel from a server to wipe his hands, and said to Qu Yu,

"Have everyone speed up."

"Yes."

After Qu Yu responded, he went to oversee the arrangements, while Wen Nian rolled his sleeves back down, tidied his cuffs, and walked toward the center of the greenhouse. Coming from the main entrance were the Wen Family members, led by Wen Liangyu.

Xiao Ziyan had not seen her son for a long time and greeted Wen Nian with a smile and a wave!

Wen Nian stopped in front of them, "Grandfather, father, mother, uncle..."

After greeting the elders, he invited them to take their seats.

"What is all this about?"

Xiao Ziyan looked bewildered at the huge greenhouse, her eyes captivated by the charming red bellflowers, and wondered.

The invitation sent by Wen Nian only mentioned a banquet, hoping the family would attend.

Previously, due to the issue with Bai Qiantan, Wen Nian had quarreled unpleasantly with Wen Liangyu and his parents.

But upon receiving the invitation personally written by Wen Nian, they had dressed up and attended.

Wen Nian smiled slightly, "You’ll know in a moment."

"Xiaonian is playing coy now?" Xiao Ziyan joked, walking affectionately toward her son.

The family showed up for Wen Nian, but deep down, they were all angry with him.

The marriage talk with Bai Qiantan was abruptly called off, and the Bai Family’s attitude towards the Wen Family soured after that, especially since Bai Qiantan left Anlin City without a word and her whereabouts remained unknown.

Bai Cangqiong blamed the Wen Family, while they thought that Bai Qiantan wasn’t exactly an easy person, having had a tumultuous romance with a heartless artist...

As a result, the two families fell out completely.

Xiao Ziyan doted on Wen Nian; calling it doting was probably out of guilt towards Wen Nian.

As for Wen Liangyu and Wen Chou, the father and son were birds of a feather, lacking any warmth.

The Wen Family who were related to Wen Nian by blood or marriage, looking at the setup, felt... it very much resembled a wedding, but they quickly dismissed the thought.

Wen Liangyu and Wen Chou didn’t speak, and naturally, the others didn’t dare to say anything either.

They simply followed the family head’s lead.

Rows of white chairs were neatly arranged on either side, with a central aisle covered in light red carpet scattered with bright red flowers.

Each petal looked freshly vibrant.

Wen Nian arranged seats for the Wen Family, and as more guests arrived at the entrance, representatives from all five major families of Anlin were present.

The Bai Family came with Bai Cangqiong and his wife, who did not look kindly upon Wen Nian, even though he was the President.

"Where has Qiantan gone?"

Upon seeing Wen Nian, Bai Cangqiong immediately asked.

Wen Nian was helpless, shrugging his shoulders, "Instead of asking me, why don’t you ask her lover, that artist named Zeng Youleng? Aren’t you in close contact with him?"

"What do you mean? Since your engagement, Qiantan has had no dealings with someone surnamed Zeng!"

"Anyway, compared to me, Zeng Youleng is more likely to know Qiantan’s whereabouts."

With that, Wen Nian summoned a server,

"Please show Mr. Bai and Mrs. Bai to their seats."

Bai Cangqiong furrowed his brow, surveyed the greenhouse, and muttered, "Mr. President, what is all this about?"

Wen Nian just smiled and said nothing.

Lu Family and Zhongli Family’s members had arrived successively, along with Wen Nian’s close friends from various times, including some who had bonded with him back during his military days.

The guests at the banquet now appeared less homogeneous in terms of status.

"Mr. President... it’s been a long time."

Attending the banquet in an old-style Xilin Army Uniform was Yan Huaixiu, who had been Wen Nian’s instructor when he enlisted at sixteen.

Three years older than Wen Nian, he was already a retired veteran.

After retiring, he worked as a deputy director of a police station in Xilin.

"Brother Yan."

Wen Nian stepped forward and embraced Yan Huaixiu, "Thank you for coming all this way."

"Who would dare decline Mr. President’s invitation?"

Yan Huaixiu joked.

Wen Nian glanced at him, "Brother Yan, that remark... it’s made Wen Nian unhappy."

"Ha ha! I just... I really didn’t expect to be invited to your wedding."

"One should not forget their mentor’s kindness. Brother Yan, please take a seat first."

Yan Huaixiu, leaning on a cane, walked ahead with a server leading him to his seat.

Following Yan Huaixiu, Vice President Zhuo Ting and his wife arrived.

Song Xiangqiao wore sunglasses, her hair down, as she held Zhuo Ting’s wrist, walking inside with black full-finger gloves on her hands.

"Brother Zhuo, you’ve arrived, please go in and take a seat."

"Mr. President, why does today’s banquet feel like a wedding is about to take place?"

Zhuo Ting casually looked around and commented.

His words, neither too loud nor too soft, made a few sharp-eared people overhear and shudder inwardly.

Song Xiangqiao was also stunned.

She hurriedly surveyed the flower room, seeing the sea of red bellflowers, and suddenly remembered, Lili’s favorite were red bellflowers...

Staff busied about, some filming, some coordinating, pastry chefs, bartenders...

Then, on that space on the right side, there were two long tables, and even a band had entered...

Looking at the seat arrangements before her, if she were to say this wasn’t set up like a wedding venue... she’d be the first not to believe!

She took off her sunglasses, yet she dared not meet Wen Nian’s gaze, let alone voice her suspicion.

All ten fingers, each broken, a bitter lesson that prevented her from overstepping again.

Wen Nian merely sidestepped, ushering Zhuo Ting and his wife forward.

The next arrivals... were Song Jiayu and Lerong.

"Uncle."

Wen Nian greeted respectfully.

Song Jiayu looked unusually grave, the mayor of Anlin City, both agitated and terrified at the moment.

"Mr. President..."

"Mrs. Song, please take your seat first, I have something to discuss with uncle."

Lerong gave a dry laugh in response and hesitantly walked ahead.

Wen Nian and Song Jiayu moved aside...

Song Jiayu looked up at Wen Nian, swallowing, "Mr. President, Uncle has grown old, and can’t endure your teasing."

"Uncle, what are you saying?"

"Lili... is she really still alive?"

Song Jiayu’s body trembled slightly, Wen Nian had kept the theme of today’s banquet hidden from most, but he had been completely honest with Song Jiayu.

"Uncle, Lili and I need your blessings."
