Was Aquaman’s ex-husband cremated today?

The old house has painted buildings, corridors, pavilions and terraces, and the interior is open and bright.

Zhou Xixiang’s birthday party was held in this old house which has a history of nearly forty years.

Early in the morning, guests from all directions came in one after another. Two bodyguards in suits at the door directed the parking routes of the guests' vehicles in an orderly manner.

Inside the magnificent hall, long tables were placed against the four walls, flowing from one room to another like a winding river.

Fine wines and delicacies, delicacies from land and sea, each carefully prepared dish is displayed on the buffet like a work of art.

The aroma is so mouth-watering.

The chef who cuts and roasts the beef stands by the fire, his hands skillfully flipping over the iron plate, the aroma of the beef spreads with his movements. The chef greets the guests with a warm and friendly smile.

Friends, relatives, uncles, business partners and former classmates came to show their support and present gifts.

Seeing more and more people coming, Luo Zijin was busy receiving them and had no help. He didn't see the second brother, so he quickly made a phone call.

Li Qingwen answered the phone: "Mom."

Luo Zijin urged, "Qingwen, why haven't you come yet? Where's Yongan? Is he on his way?"

There was a lot of noise in the background. Li Qingwen turned his head and glanced at Zhou Yongan: "We will be there soon."

After hanging up the phone, Li Qingwen looked at the man who was catching up on his sleep with his eyes closed. Last night, Zhou Yongan had been arguing with her until midnight and would not let her come alone today no matter what.

It's impossible not to attend my eldest brother's birthday. If I really do that, people will talk about me and say that we are at odds with each other.

Li Qingwen advised Zhou Yongan that his appearance was more important than his own.

Finally, Zhou Yongan proposed to end the separation, and then he compromised.

The car stopped at a nearby vacant lot. After getting out of the car, Zhou Yongan pointed to the vacant lot and said, "This is the land of Weiye Group. Huayu lent it the loan."

Li Qingwen nodded and said nothing.

She changed out of her usual business attire and now wore a grey coat, a pair of white running shoes, and held an exquisite gift in her hand.

The two people walked towards the gate hand in hand and appeared in everyone's sight together.

Almost in an instant, various voices calling Yong'an rang in his ears. The older ones called his name, the young people called him the Second Young Master, and also called him the Second Young Master. Everyone came towards them with smiles on their faces.

Li Qingwen silently let go of Zhou Yongan's hand, wanting him to reminisce with those people.

Zhou Yongan grabbed her hand back and looked at Li Qingwen sideways: "What are you hiding from?"

The ugly daughter-in-law must eventually meet her parents-in-law. Li Qingwen took a deep breath.

Zhou Yongan began to introduce the group of people in front of him to Li Qingwen one by one: "Uncle Chai, Uncle Cheng, Aunt Qin, Uncle Liu, Dalong, Haibin, Xiaotao, Xiaoma... It doesn't matter if you can't remember them."

An elder came forward with a smile and commented: "This must be Yongan's wife, she is so pretty. Yongan, what good deeds did you do in your previous life to let you marry a fairy in this life?"

Li Qingwen felt a little embarrassed by the compliment and politely called out, "Hello, Uncle Liu."

"Hey, hey, hey, this is a gift from Uncle Liu to you. It's a little token of my appreciation." Uncle Liu handed over a big red envelope.

Li Qingwen looked at Zhou Yongan with a confused look on his face.

Zhou Yongan nodded at her and continued.

Seeing this, the other uncles and aunts took out the red envelopes they had prepared earlier from their pockets and handed them over.

Li Qingwen blushed and bowed to express his gratitude one by one.

Zhou Yongan saw that she was so full of red envelopes that her arms were full of them, while he himself didn't have any. He couldn't help but tease her: "No wonder you were so eager to come here. You knew there would be red envelopes, right?"

"I don't know." Li Qingwen muttered, and asked Zhou Yongan with clear eyes, "Why did they give me..."

It’s obvious that grandma doesn’t like her.

Following the direction the elders left, Zhou Yongan saw his father entertaining guests in the distance.

He said: "The uncles and aunts gave you red envelopes because of dad's attitude. Dad must have spoken well of you in front of these people."

Li Qingwen understood something and a warm feeling flowed through her heart. Her impression of Zhou Chunsheng was still that of a serious elder.

How could Zhou Chunsheng go against his grandmother's wishes for her?

After Zhou Chunsheng greeted a few business partners, he saw the second son and his wife coming late, and he scolded him, "Little bastard, have you seen grandma?"

Zhou Chunsheng already knew that his second son had made his mother angry, and he had refrained from doing so many times. But this kid actually took advantage of me.

Zhou Yongan didn't say anything, and Li Qingwen quickly said, "Dad, we'll go over there now."

Zhou Chunsheng nodded, staring at Zhou Yongan with a serious look: "Don't go against grandma anymore, do you understand?"

Zhou Yongan stood there without saying anything. Li Qingwen secretly pushed him, and he reluctantly said, "I know."

Just as he was about to leave, Zhou Chunsheng stopped Li Qingwen and said, "Qingwen, let him go and apologize on his own. Don't go."

Li Qingwen looked at Zhou Chunsheng blankly, then at Zhou Yongan.

Zhou Yongan would rather she didn't follow, otherwise if his grandmother saw it, she would say hurtful words in front of someone.

After Zhou Yongan left, uncles and aunts from all directions slowly moved towards Zhou Chunsheng.

Everyone was holding tea or wine in their hands, looking at the child next to Zhou Chunsheng with burning eyes.

An uncle asked, "Old Zhou, is this the daughter-in-law you mentioned who is good at playing chess?"

Zhou Chunsheng nodded and motioned to Li Qingwen: "Meet them all."

She had already seen some of the uncles and aunts at the door just now, but unfortunately she had not yet matched the names with the faces. Now there were a few more unfamiliar faces, and Li Qingwen's mind was a little confused.

She received a few more red envelopes.

I really don’t know what these uncles are thinking. If you don’t know, you might think today is the Zhou family’s daughter-in-law’s uncle recognition party.

Li Qingwen sat politely and quietly in a corner of the sofa, saying thank you to his uncles.

Then the uncles and aunts asked a question and Li Qingwen answered it.

Li Qingwen found that everyone was friendly and unanimous in avoiding talking about her family background. They only asked about her major and her opinions on some issues in the financial industry.

Li Qingwen sat there, as if he had stepped into the palace examination of ancient candidates, answering questions casually thrown by civil and military officials in a reserved manner among a group of elders.

Someone asked her what she thought about the impact of northbound funds on the A-share market.

Someone asked her what she thought about foreign capital shorting domestic industrial groups while the banking industry remained silent.

Someone asked her what her attitude was towards bank-post cooperation.

Someone asked her about the cooperation between commercial banks and investment banks...

Each question was very serious, and was no different from taking the FRM exam on site. Li Qingwen was under so much pressure that sweat slowly broke out on his back.

Li Qingwen thought to herself that she had already felt nervous facing Zhou Chunsheng alone. These uncles and aunts in front of her were all experienced financial tycoons. Even if she spoke a little superficially or poorly, she would leave them with the impression that she was a "vase".

These people are also masters of expression management. Whether she is right or wrong, they remain calm and awe-inspiring, making them hard to understand.

Now that she thinks about it, she might as well have gone with Zhou Yongan to see her grandmother.

It was not until the servant brought the chessboard and chess sets that everyone ended their investigation of her.

While Zhou Chunsheng was fiddling with the chessboard, he said to Li Qingwen, "Today you come to play with these uncles, don't be lenient with them."

Li Qingwen looked shy, as if her father really regarded her as a chess master.

"Qingwen, daughter-in-law, shall we play the first game?" An uncle whose last name was unknown walked over.
