Lu Yanming stood up, "Muye, remember the old saying: 'If you get rich, don't forget your friends.' When you're soaring in the future, don't forget your brother."
"Haha, boss, you're amazing. Boss, Song Ci, you're the person I admire most in this life. Oh, no, and the young madam, she's brave and resourceful, truly incredible."
Song Ci stood up and raised his glass, in great spirits.
Tang Si, supporting Shi Ran, also stood up. "Second Brother, my being with Ran Bao'er is also thanks to your help, along with Big Brother and Old Han. We should toast you."
"Yes, Wei Jie, Qing Zong, Yan Ming Ge, and Han Yu Ge, thank you for your care all these days," Shi Ran said, holding a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice. "Thank you all very much."
Wei Dongkui: "A toast to Qing Zong and Meng Zong. I'm a rough fellow and not good with words, heh heh heh, I just wish you all the best."
Han Yu stood up, "Regardless of anything, we've fought through thorns and achieved final victory. As long as you're well, I'm well." He glanced at Cheng Xiaorui beside him. "Oh, right, I forgot to tell you all, my mother has taken Xiaorui as her goddaughter. From now on, she's my god-sister. You can all look after her."
As he finished speaking, everyone turned to look at Cheng Xiaorui. The multitude of gazes made her feel a little unaccustomed.
She slowly stood up and made gestures with her hands.
As she gestured, Han Yu translated, "Xiaorui says, 'Thank you everyone, it's a pleasure to meet you all. Every day with you has been happy. I hope our friendship lasts forever, and I wish everyone happiness, good health, and that all your wishes come true.'"
Tang Si stood beside Han Yu and whispered, "Really? I always thought you liked the mute girl."
"Shut up, or I'll twist your head off if you keep talking nonsense," Han Yu glared at him fiercely.
Finally, Qiao Ziqian stood up. He looked at everyone reluctantly, then at Qing Muye, raising his glass. "A toast to you." He said no more and downed the full glass of red wine in one gulp.
"Hahaha, Little Qiao has a good capacity for drink," Lu Yanming teased, making everyone chuckle.
"Thank you, everyone," Meng Jingwei said, rising with a faint smile. "These past few days, Ah Ye and I have been through so much. Fortunately, with everyone's strong support, we've reached today. If anyone should be toasting, it should be Ah Ye and I to everyone."
Qing Muye slowly stood up. He stood tall and straight, his left hand instinctively placed in his trouser pocket. Even before speaking, he exuded an oppressive presence, a commanding aura.
"I, Qing Muye, am not eloquent. All my gratitude is in this wine."
He raised his wine glass and gestured a toast to everyone, then tilted his head back and downed the entire glass of red wine.
Then, he poured himself another glass and clinked glasses with everyone. Instantly, the room filled with the crisp sound of clinking glasses, a symphony of toasts as everyone raised their glasses to drink.
"Congratulations to Han Yu for gaining a sister."
"Congratulations, Sister Xiaorui, if you ever need anything, come to your brother."
"Xiao Si, congratulations on your union with Shi Ran. It wasn't easy, congratulations."
"Did you all forget that Boss has a new son? Congratulations, Boss."
"Little Momo is a poor child. Everyone here must dote on him from now on."
"Yes, little darling Momo's background is quite pitiable."
"Hey, don't think like that. From now on, Boss and the young madam are his Daddy and Mommy, and Miss Lian Nuo is his godmother. He'll definitely be very happy."
"Right, right, right, he must be happy. We all must be happy."
"Xiaorui says thank you all. She's my only sister, you all must protect her too."
"Tch, Muye and Xiao Si are both fathers, and you're still a lone dog, talking about sisters?"
"Scram! As if you're not a lone dog. You've been single since birth for thirty years, an old bachelor, what right do you have to talk to me?"
As they chatted, Lu Yanming and Han Yu started bickering and teasing each other, making everyone burst into laughter.
Laughter filled the living room, the atmosphere relaxed and joyful, a long-lost happiness.
After chatting for a while, Tang Si snapped his fingers. "I have something to announce to everyone." He took Shi Ran's hand. "Lian Nuo mentioned before that there's a very skilled old Chinese physician in the Hidden Tribe who specializes in scar removal. So, Ran Bao'er and I have decided to depart for the Hidden Tribe next week."
Only God knows how much effort Tang Si put into persuading Shi Ran.
The reason for choosing the time when Shi Ran was about to give birth to go to the Hidden Tribe was twofold: firstly, to treat her illness and remove scars; secondly, to avoid her family's harassment, allowing her to give birth to the three little ones smoothly.
"Oh, right," Shen Liannuo said, eating a lobster and peeling its shell. "I spoke with He Ka Yanyi last week. I suddenly felt homesick, so I've decided to go back with Tang Si to visit."
The day Qing Muye left Antina Castle, he had called Shen Liannuo and asked her to contact He Ka Yanyi.
