Chapter 1 Tan Family's Banquet

A week later, at six in the evening, the Tan and An families held a dinner party at Tan Hengqiang's villa.

The Tan family's hall was very lively at this time. The two families sat around a long dining table, waiting for the dishes to be served while chatting and laughing.

In addition to Tan Hengqiang and his wife, and An Zecheng and his wife, many direct relatives of the two families also arrived. Even Wawa, whom they hadn't seen for a long time, appeared at the dining table, bowing her head and fiddling with her phone.

An Qiqi and Tan Mingzhao were deliberately arranged to sit together, and the two occasionally chatted.

At this time, An Qiqi sat there obediently, responding not only to Tan Mingzhao but also to the caring words thrown by the elders of the two families from time to time.

A few minutes later, the dishes were finally served, filling the table.

Tan Hengqiang, beaming with joy, raised his glass: "Let me say a few words."

Everyone immediately quieted down, their eyes focused on Old Tan. The latter, holding up his glass, said with a smile, "This dinner party has been in preparation for many days. I just hope that our two families can get together well. Looking at the entire Dragon City, the only one who can sit at the same table with me and eat without hesitation is Old An. Come on, let's raise our glasses, hoping that our two families will interact more in the future."

Seeing this, the two families also raised their glasses one after another.

...

At the same time, Hongshan Temple.

In this magnificent ancient temple, Lu Feng pulled Su Tianyu along, walking on the temple's long mountain path.

Some time ago, Su Tianyu had many things to deal with, and he was so busy and anxious. After everything was over, Master Lu invited him to stay on the mountain for two days, listen to the Dharma, and cleanse his soul with the company of the green lamp.

Lu Feng pulled Su Tianyu along, bowing to every hall. At this time, the two, with their hands behind their backs, walked into a tall Bodhisattva hall in front of them.

The golden body of the Bodhisattva sat upright in the center of the hall, holding a pure bottle in its hand, with a solemn and dignified appearance.

An old monk sat beside him, with his eyes closed, chanting sutras while gently tapping the wooden fish.

Lu Feng bent down, lay on the futon, with his palms facing up, and devoutly kowtowed to the Bodhisattva three times and nine times.

Su Tianyu stood beside him, only putting his hands together and bowing slightly to the Buddha statue.

After Lu Feng got up, seeing Su Tianyu's preoccupied look, he couldn't help but say, "You, your heart is too chaotic! I asked you to come to this ancient temple with me to let you feel the sound of the outside world and put aside those worries. People, still have to have faith! Come, offer incense to the Bodhisattva!"

With that, Lu Feng handed Su Tianyu three long incense sticks.

"Di Lingling!"

Just as Su Tianyu was about to offer incense, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

Su Tianyu took out his phone, glanced at the caller ID, and seeing that it was Yu Mingyuan calling, he quickly made an apologetic gesture to Lu Feng: "I'll take a call first."

Lu Feng waved his hand, and Su Tianyu walked aside and answered the phone: "Hello?"

"Where are you?" Yu Mingyuan's voice rang out.

Su Tianyu fiddled with the long incense sticks as he replied, "I'm at Hongshan Temple!"

Yu Mingyuan asked, "What are you doing running to the temple?"

Su Tianyu laughed: "Hehe, didn't the big event just finish? I was a little tired. Brother Feng insisted on pulling me up the mountain to be a lay disciple for a few days and calm down."

Yu Mingyuan paused and said, "I advise you to just live inside! Why don't you just shave your head and become a monk on the spot!"

Su Tianyu was a little strange: "Benefactor Yu, what do you mean by this?"

Yu Mingyuan said unhappily, "If you dawdle for two more days, your wife will be gone. They've already started stealing your home. You're in the mood to listen to the Dharma?"

Su Tianyu was startled and hurriedly asked, "Damn, who's stealing my home?"

Yu Mingyuan immediately said, "Who else could it be but Tan Mingzhao! His father arranged a family dinner, inviting my uncle's family to eat, it seems to be about discussing a blind date. This Commander Tan is well-versed in the art of war and acts too quickly, very decisively, basically not giving you any chances!"

Su Tianyu was really panicked, and his voice couldn't help but get louder: "Damn, how come I don't know anything about this?"

Yu Mingyuan rebuked, "Isn't that nonsense? Does he need to say hello to you about this? Do you really think you're the commander-in-chief of Dragon City?"

The news was too sudden, and Su Tianyu couldn't help but feel a little dazed: "Then what should I do? Qiqi didn't tell me either?"

Yu Mingyuan said, "What should I do? That's your business, I can't control it. I'm just responsible for informing you, how to arrange it, you figure it out."

Su Tianyu thought for a moment and said, "How about this, you come back. Find an excuse and take me to accidentally run into this dinner party?"

Yu Mingyuan was angry: "I'm more than two hundred miles away from Dragon City now, where am I going to take you to accidentally run into the dinner party? I still have a pile of work here. If I don't finish it tonight, I won't get paid, and I won't even have food to eat! Figure it out yourself, you're an adult, I can't help you too much...!"

Su Tianyu hurriedly said, "Damn, you're a human being..."

"Beep... beep... beep..."

Before he could finish speaking, the phone was hung up, and Su Tianyu cursed angrily, "Damn it..."

"Pa!"

Lu Feng didn't know when he had come over and slapped Su Tianyu on the back of the neck: "This is a temple, brother! Can you not say 'damn' every other word, okay?"

Su Tianyu glanced at the golden body of the Bodhisattva with drooping eyes, hurriedly walked over, and with a snap, lit the incense and inserted it into the incense burner.

Su Tianyu put his hands together and kept apologizing: "I'm sorry, I was rude again."

After apologizing to the Bodhisattva, Su Tianyu turned to Lu Feng and said, "Master Lu, you stay here for two days first! I... I'll check the situation first and then decide whether to come or not."

Lu Feng was a little surprised and hurriedly asked, "What are you going to do?"

"My worldly affairs are not over yet, I'm going down the mountain to take care of something." Su Tianyu dropped a sentence and rushed out of the hall.

He hurried down the mountain, called Hou Guoyu, who was waiting below, and the two got into the car and left together.

...

An hour later, the dinner party was over.

Tan Hengqiang and An Zecheng sat there chatting, and the wives were also gathered together, with endless topics to talk about.

The remaining children sat aside, somewhat awkwardly. Tan Mingzhao was stiff, looking at the beautiful An Qiqi in front of him, not knowing what to say. An Qiqi pulled Wawa and chatted about things between girls.

Madam Tan glanced at her son, got up and walked over, gently patted Tan Mingzhao's shoulder and said, "Why are you still a little wooden today? Take them out for a walk."

"That's fine." Tan Mingzhao nodded, turned to look at An Qiqi: "Qiqi, let's go for a walk, sing a song?"

The elders were next to her, and An Qiqi couldn't refuse: "Okay. Wawa, let's go."

Several young people stood up and walked out of the villa. In addition to An Qiqi and the other two, there were also Tan Mingzhao's two cousins.

The five people walked in the quiet courtyard. Wawa took An Qiqi's arm, glanced at Tan Mingzhao following behind, grinned, and whispered jokingly, "Look at this Young Master Tan, a young general, with extraordinary heroic spirit. Why don't I take my leave first, so as not to disturb you two?"

An Qiqi glared at her fiercely and whispered, "Are you sick!"

Wawa smiled and didn't say anything.

An Qiqi gently pushed Wawa and whispered again, "Don't you think it's suddenly very awkward?" Da Feng Novel

"I don't know if it's awkward." Wawa laughed, "I just think I'm quite redundant."

An Qiqi held Wawa's arm tightly: "You can't go anywhere tonight!"

The two were whispering, unknowingly having arrived at the gate of the courtyard.

Tan Mingzhao stopped and shouted at them, "Wait a moment, the car is coming soon."

Just as Tan Mingzhao was about to have the guard drive the car over, he heard a creak, and a black SUV stopped in front of the courtyard gate.

Su Tianyu poked his head out of the car and shouted at An Qiqi in a very anxious tone, "Hey, Qiqi, what are you doing here? I've been looking for you for three days, you haven't answered your phone, I'm so worried!"

Everyone was stunned, and Tan Mingzhao's eyes widened. How did this kid Su Tianyu get here?

An Qiqi was also dumbfounded, looking at Su Tianyu and asking, "What are you worried about?"

Su Tianyu said urgently, "It's about our association! There's something very important waiting for you to deal with! Come, come, get in the car quickly, I'll talk to you about it!"

An Qiqi turned her head and glanced at Wawa, who was suppressing a smile next to her, knowing that this girl had leaked the news. She pretended to be indifferent and said softly to Su Tianyu, "Didn't you see that I'm entertaining friends? Another day."

Su Tianyu hurriedly said, "I'm not stopping you from entertaining friends."

After speaking, Su Tianyu turned to look at Tan Mingzhao, whose face was dark, and greeted, "Young Master Tan, why don't we go together? Let's find a place to chat, I'll talk to Qiqi about something. Don't worry, it won't bother you too much."

"……!"
