Chapter 168 The Han Family Arrives

"Whether it's for my sake or the Lin family, this is no place for Brother Lu Xiao to be!" Lin Guoli persuaded. "If you truly anger Lord Lu, it's not something you can bear!"

Lu Fan pursed his lips, unfazed. Instead, he strode directly towards the central stage of the banquet hall, his expression indifferent.

Lin Guoli was startled, and the other Lin family members wore expressions of shock.

"It's over!" Lin Yalan frowned. "If Lord Lu finds out about him and Lin Ke, the entire Lin family might be dragged down!"

Judging by the current scene, it was clear that Lord Lu of Jiangnan was no ordinary person. How could their Lin family possibly resist him then?

Lin Guoli's expression was grim. He had wanted to stop Lu Fan, but Lu Fan had already reached the center of the banquet hall.

However, what they had predicted did not happen. Instead, a clear and beautiful sound echoed throughout the Twin Towers.

"Lord Lu!"

Following this voice, everyone turned towards the main seat of the banquet hall, their gazes filled with deference.

"How is that possible? He's not Lord Lu!" Lin Haitao shouted at the crowd. "You've mistaken him!"

"He is Lord Lu! How could we be mistaken?" a man interjected. "If you weren't from the Lin family, you'd be in deep trouble today!"

Just as Lin Haitao was about to speak, Han Yunhai appeared nearby, holding a microphone for Lu Fan and appearing extremely respectful.

Witnessing the scene before him, Lin Guoli's expression changed drastically, and he quickly stopped Lin Haitao. "Be quiet!"

Lin Haitao also noticed this and froze, not daring to say another word, seemingly afraid of offending the powerful.

"He... is truly Lord Lu!"

Lin Yalan's face was filled with disbelief. She could never have imagined that Lu Fan was the renowned Lord Lu; it was almost inconceivable to her.

Although Lin Laotai was seated, her heart was far from calm. Lu Fan had not been treated well when he was at the Lin family. If he were displeased with them, wouldn't that spell great trouble for them in the future?

"Thank you all for attending the wedding of Xiaoke and me!"

Lu Fan said softly into the microphone, "The bride will be here shortly. Please bear with us!"

As Lu Fan's words fell, the entire hall fell silent. Not a single person spoke. Perhaps this was the aura of a born king.

Lin Haitao stood frozen, unsure of what to do for a long time. He clearly remembered how much he had mocked Lu Fan when he was at the Lin family, never realizing that Lu Fan was Lord Lu.

"No wonder, no wonder Lord Lu of Jiangnan wants to marry Lin Ke!" Lin Laotai remarked. "It seems only we were kept in the dark!"

"This is too much!" Lin Haitao exclaimed. "Old Madam, Lin Ke must have known the truth. She didn't tell you, completely disregarding you!"

"Enough!" Lin Guoli said with a grim face. "Lin Ke is now Lord Lu's wife. Do you think you can still manage her just by relying on Old Madam?"

Lin Haitao said no more, but his face was filled with helplessness. How could he not know? It was just that he had no recourse at the moment.

"The Bai family of Jiangnan presents a pair of white jade. Congratulations to Lord Lu on his happy union!"

"The Chen family of Jiangnan presents a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum. Congratulations to Lord Lu on an early birth of a noble son!"

...

Voices echoed through the hall, drawing the attention of many. These were all influential local powers from Jiangnan, and they were all major figures.

Observing the continuous stream of guests, Lu Fan's smile widened.

Meanwhile, throughout Qingzhou City, countless rose petals rained down on the streets, as if a glorious era had arrived.

Pedestrians walking on the road, gazing at the roses floating in the air, were filled with romantic sentiment.

The guests in the banquet hall, looking out through the floor-to-ceiling windows at the scenery outside, were filled with admiration.

Outside the Twin Towers lay the shores of Qingzhou Lake. Rose petals scattered across the sky above the lake, creating an unprecedentedly grand spectacle.

Beyond admiration, the guests found no other words to describe the scene. As time passed, guests began to take their seats, eagerly anticipating the bride's appearance.

"The Han family of Jiangbei sends a pair of peerless jade. Congratulations to Lord Lu on his happy union!"

Just then, a voice came from outside. A group of people strode into the banquet hall, led by Old Master Han.

"The Han family of Jiangbei?"

Everyone trembled. They all rose to their feet and looked towards Old Master Han, their faces filled with astonishment. They could never have imagined that the head of the Han family of Jiangbei would personally come to congratulate them.

After all, the Han family of Jiangbei was a martial arts family. It was rumored that not long ago, the head of the Han family had broken through to the Grandmaster realm, elevating the Han family to a new level. Why would the family head personally come to Jiangnan to offer congratulations?

"Old Master Han!"

Lu Fan stepped forward to welcome him. "The journey was long; why did you have to come in person!"

"Lord Lu has shown great kindness to the Han family. How could I not come!" Old Master Han said earnestly. "If I didn't come today, how could I face Lord Lu!"

"Senior Han, you jest!" Lu Fan waved his hand. "Please take a seat of honor!"

Old Master Han nodded slightly and followed Lu Fan towards the main seating area. Many people watched from the side. This Old Master Han was no ordinary person; he was a Grandmaster, and his personal arrival in Jiangnan was enough to show his sincerity.

"Family Head Han, please sit here!" Lu Fan said with a smile, glancing at Lin Guoli. "You are both from Jiangbei, so you must have something to talk about!" Su Dan Novel Network

"Yes, yes, of course!" Lin Guoli nodded repeatedly, clearly intimidated by Lu Fan.

With Lu Fan's current strength, it would only take a puff of air to deal with them. He dared not act rashly.

"This must be the second son of the Lin family?" Old Master Han chuckled. "Still so young!"

"Family Head Han, you are too kind!" Lin Guoli quickly put on a fawning smile.

In the future, in Jiangbei, the Han family was an absolute behemoth. Even the Lin family was like a small shrimp in his eyes. Now that the head of the Han family was speaking to him personally, he felt somewhat flattered.

"Master, when I came up, I saw the Yun family's spies!"

Han Qiushui came to Lu Fan's side. "Are they going to cause trouble today?"

"Cause trouble?" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "If they really come to cause trouble, then I'll let them know what it means to be in trouble!"

Han Qiushui felt a little awkward. Today was Lu Fan's wedding day. If the Yun family truly caused trouble, wouldn't the Han family be implicating Lu Fan?

"Don't worry. This is Jiangnan. The Yun family suffered a setback last time, so they probably don't have the nerve!" Lu Fan chuckled.

Han Qiushui nodded slightly and didn't say much more. However, if the Yun family did appear, there was no need to worry too much.

As Lu Fan said, this was Jiangnan. The Yun family might be arrogant in Jiangdong, but in Jiangnan, they might not be able to do much.

With this thought, Han Qiushui felt relieved and walked towards the head of the Han family, sitting down. By chance, she saw Lin Haitao and said coldly, "Young Master Lin, you don't still hold a grudge against me, do you?"

"Miss Han, you jest. How could I dare!"

Lin Haitao's face was awkward. He clearly remembered that Han Qiushui had beaten him up for Lu Fan's sake at her birthday party.

Lin Yalan sat to the side, much more subdued. Only now did she realize why Han Qiushui was so deferential to Lu Fan.
