The poor husband I picked up turned out to be from a wealthy family

Before going downstairs, Shen Qing woke up An An and Kang Kang.

"An'an and Kang Kang, you two get up quickly and get ready, change into your favorite clothes. Today is Grandpa's birthday banquet."

"Okay, Mommy." An An agreed.

Then, seeing that Kang Kang hadn't moved, she quickly ran to Kang Kang's room and called out, "Little brother, it's time to get up. Today is Grandpa's birthday banquet, and people will be coming soon. If you don't get up, they'll laugh at you."

Hearing the noise, Kang Kang pulled off the blanket covering his head.

He said lazily, "I know, I'll get up right away."

"Then I'll go outside and wait for you."

Then An'an went outside.

Shen Qing had already gone downstairs by this time.

Aunt Zhang prepared breakfast. "Sir and Madam, please have some breakfast. The guests will probably be arriving a little while later."

Shen Qing nodded, "Okay!" Then she looked at Yan Bei, "Mom and Dad probably won't arrive for a while. Let's eat something first to tide us over, otherwise we'll get hungry when things get busy."

"Okay!" Yan Bei had just called Yang Jian to say that he had picked up Yan Jiangshan and Yang Juan and they were on their way back.

He and Shen Qing sat down at the dining table, quickly ate some breakfast, and then got up.

Both of them were also worried that the return of guests would damage their image.

……

After a while.

Yan Jiangshan and Yang Juan also came.

Shen Qing quickly went over to greet them, "Dad, Mom, you're here."

"Hmm." Yang Juan looked at the large living room and immediately praised, "It's so well decorated here, you must have worked so hard."

"Mom, isn't this what we should do? Today is Dad's 66th birthday, it only comes once a year, so of course we should make a big celebration."

Then Yan Jiangshan spoke up, "By the way, haven't Xiaopeng and Wenwen arrived yet?"

Soon, Zhang Wenwen and Liu Xiaopeng, who were walking in, said, "Dad, we're here."

Yan Jiangshan looked over and thought, "Speak of the devil and he appears."

"Dad, we're late."

"It's not late, it's not late either, I just arrived." Yan Jiangshan said.

Zhang Wenwen looked exceptionally beautiful today, and exuded an air of elegance.

Shen Qing began to praise, "Wenwen, you look so beautiful today."

Zhang Wenwen smiled and said modestly, "It's all because my cousin picked out the jewelry for me, which matches this outfit well. But my cousin looks beautiful today too."

"Thank you." Shen Qing said, then glanced at her wrist. "The guests should be arriving soon. Let's go out and greet them."

"it is good!"

Zhang Wenwen and Shen Qing walked to the door together.

Yan Bei and Liu Xiaopeng followed closely behind.

At this time, the Yan family villa was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, exuding a festive atmosphere.

……

A bright red carpet stretched from the ornate iron gate all the way to the entrance of the villa's main hall, flanked by clusters of flowers. The air was filled with the faint fragrance of lilies and roses, interspersed with the cheerful voices of family members.

After a while.

Luxury cars bearing various prestigious license plates began to drive into the villa area one after another, and fortunately, they came to a stop with the help of waiters.

The car door opened, and those who stepped out were all impeccably dressed business tycoons and political figures, or elegant socialites and ladies adorned with jewels and exquisite makeup.

They all wore perfectly appropriate smiles, clearly there for this important birthday banquet.

Standing on the left side of the villa's gate were Yan Bei and Shen Qing. Yan Bei was dressed in a well-tailored black suit, his hair was neatly combed, and he wore a calm and polite smile. His demeanor already bore a resemblance to that of his father, Yan Jiangshan.

Shen Qing, standing beside him, wore a glossy black dress, her makeup was gentle, her smile was appropriate, and she and her husband worked in perfect harmony, bowing slightly to greet the guests.

To the right of the entrance.

Standing there were Liu Xiaopeng and Zhang Wenwen. Liu Xiaopeng was wearing a bright-colored casual suit, and his smile was even more enthusiastic. He chatted and laughed with the guests, enlivening the atmosphere.

At this moment, Zhang Wenwen was wearing a fashionable off-shoulder dress, looking radiant and beautiful. Her voice was clear and crisp, and her eyes sparkled as she chatted with people, making her appear exceptionally lively.

"Mr. Wang, it's an honor to have you here! I'm so sorry I didn't greet you properly!" Yan Bei stepped forward and shook hands with a slightly overweight middle-aged man.

"How could I not come and share in the joy of Mr. Yan's birthday!" President Wang laughed heartily, handing over a beautifully wrapped, heavy gift box. "It's just a small token of my appreciation; I wish Chairman Yan boundless happiness and longevity!"

"Thank you for your trouble, Mr. Wang. Please come in." Shen Qing smiled as she accepted the gift box and gestured to the waiter beside her.

the other side.

"Mr. Li, you've arrived!" Liu Xiaopeng warmly greeted another composed guest. "Please come in, my dad has been talking about you for years."

“Grandpa Yan is a lucky man, of course I have to come and offer my blessings.” Mr. Li also handed over an antique wooden box, “It’s just a small gift, nothing special.”

"Mr. Li, you're too kind. Please come in." Zhang Wenwen said with a smile, leading the way.

Guests arrived in a steady stream, each carrying a carefully prepared gift.

Some are ornately packaged brocade boxes, perhaps containing valuable jade artifacts or antiques; others are high-end health supplements with gold-stamped logos, symbolizing health and longevity; still others are calligraphy and paintings by famous artists, exuding elegance and uniqueness.

These items were carefully taken by well-trained waiters, registered on the gift list, and then taken aside for safekeeping.

Most of the guests have arrived.

Yan Bei, Shen Qing, Liu Xiaopeng, and Zhang Wenwen also arrived and stood beside Yan Jiangshan.

"Dad, almost everyone has arrived. Let's begin the birthday banquet now!"

"it is good!"

Yan Jiangshan hosted the birthday banquet himself, expressing his gratitude to everyone who came to attend.

Yang Juan stood right next to him.

Some people below started to discuss, "Old Master Yan's wife is quite nice, she has a rather elegant appearance."

"Yes, I did let the old man meet his wife once when he held his wedding. At that time, I thought the old man's wife was really beautiful."

"I think Old Master Yan's wife is very lucky. She'll live a life of luxury for the rest of her life because she married Old Master Yan."

"Absolutely. To be honest, it's really quite enviable."

"Who says otherwise? The old man's status in Kyoto is quite prestigious. It wouldn't be unreasonable for him to want to marry a younger woman."

"Sigh, it's still the same. People who are close in age are a better match. Although rich men can marry young women, it gives people the feeling of a mismatch. It's much more comfortable to see two people together like this."

"That's right, look at these two daughters-in-law of the Yan family. They're so busy taking care of things and they're really filial. Even though they're not her biological mother-in-law, they seem to have a good relationship with her."

"That's really true!"

"..."

Everyone chatted excitedly, mostly discussing the Yan family.

The Yan family held a very high and prestigious position, and no one dared to say anything negative about them; in short, they were all praising them.
