The clouds and mists have dispersed, and everyone knows that I love you.

"I……"

Huo Wanwan was filled with shame and anger, biting her lower lip in embarrassment. She was left speechless by his heartless and heartless words.

Forget it, Huo Wanwan is broad-minded and will not argue with this man.

Huo Wanwan put on the pink plush sequined dress that he had pulled off forcefully, and then put on her coat. When the car parked in the parking area in front of the Ying family's old house.

She put on some makeup, opened the door and got out of the car. She took Fei Zeyi's arm without any grudges and walked into the house with him.

……

At 5 pm, the guests arrived as scheduled.

There are still two hours before the scheduled opening time of the Ying family banquet.

As the hospitality was hard to refuse, Feng Qingning had no choice but to follow the crowd's wishes and lead the guests to the dome-shaped new Chinese-style reception room at the top of the cloud-step staircase.

According to the seating order she and Shi Rong had arranged in advance, everyone was invited to take their seats one after another. The overall order was almost the same as that of the Huo family banquet on the day of the banquet.

Feng Qingning and Huo Yan were still sitting on the left and right of each other at the highest main seat, which had only two seats. However, the gilded rectangular table of that time had been replaced with a carved mahogany and jade table of today.

On both sides of the main seat, there are 14 sets of seats arranged in an outward semicircular pattern.

They all sat cross-legged, and the order of representation from oldest to youngest was the same. Huo Jiuzhou occupied the secondary seat, slightly below the main seat, and across from him was Shi Yang.

The seat next to Shi Yang was vacant, probably reserved for Shi Rong who was out and had not returned yet.

Behind Huo Jiuzhou, sitting on the eaves, on both sides of the rosewood diamond-shaped tea table, were Huo Zhengtong and Mei Wei from the main house.

The ones next to them are exactly the same, and so on, there are the second room, the third room, the fourth room... and then the three families of Chu, Xing, and Song and the elders in the family.

To Song Qianchen's right, as expected, were the Fei family father and son, and to his right was the lone Wa Lu.

Next to the deputy seat opposite were the three families of Shen Xiaji. Sang Si Ning was holding Ying Miaomiao and the Sang family in his arms. On the left of Xia Zhi's family of three, further down were the Yang family, the Qu family and other familiar faces.

The interior decoration of the reception room tends to be in the traditional Chinese minimalist style with carved railings and jade bricks.

Gilded jade floor tiles, light green relief wallpaper, red lacquered glazed doorposts, and pear wood upturned table.

The highlight is the picture of "Five Grains Passing the Imperial Examinations, and Fortune Coming from All Directions" painted on the jade wall of the dome, which is so vivid and lifelike that it makes people marvel at it.

The Ying family is indeed a wealthy and powerful family!

"Have you contacted Yan'er? Everyone is waiting for her. Can she return as soon as possible?"

When Nan Yuan, who was ordered to go out to obtain the latest progress of Shi Rong, led people back to Feng Qingning, the latter hurriedly and impatiently asked.

Nan Yuan shook her head.

"Miao Man said that the young master still has some important matters to complete and needs to go to at least three places."

"what?"

Feng Qingning felt unhappy when she heard this.

She left home at 5am, and it has been a full hour till now. How come there are still so many hours?

"Did you encounter any trouble while you were out?"

She asked this question suddenly, including the deputy Huo Jiuzhou Shiyang, Huo Qiye, Chu Yu, Xing Jiashan, Song Qianchen, Fei Zeyi and Wa Lu.

They moved in unison almost subconsciously, glancing sideways at Nan Yuan, who looked respectful.

"No, it's simply because the young master is gentle and approachable. When he arrives in a civilian area, there are always people who try to make friends with him."

Feng Qingning grew angry when she heard this.

"How do you do things? The young master goes out alone, don't you know to send her more people?"

Nan Yuan was being accused, but she didn't dare to say much and hurriedly tried to calm the situation down.

"Madam, please calm down. I have personally assigned 40 men to the Young Master today. All of them are top-notch martial artists and will not make any mistakes. The Young Master also said that she would be back on time at 7:15."

Feng Qingning nodded thoughtfully and felt relieved.

Now that things have come to this, she couldn't say much. After all, it was common knowledge that Shi Rong was very busy.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of several important figures sitting diagonally below him on both sides, who were now feeling uneasy.

Feng Qingning smiled understandingly, thinking of making a suggestion in public that would be just right for the current situation.

"Thank you all for your kindness in gathering at the top of my Ying family's Dusu Mountain. Unfortunately, my young master has to go out today for something important, and it's also the end of the year, so please bear with me."

After he finished speaking, Feng Qingning took the lead and picked up the wine in the bowl beside him and toasted to everyone.

"Cheers to everyone!"

Everyone raised their carved blue jade bowls towards Feng Qingning.

"You're too polite!"

Before the drinks, there was the usual flattery.

Yang Qiming: "Mr. Ying is a good person. People are busy and it's only natural for us to wait a little longer. Mr. Ying, don't worry too much!"

Qu Fengnian: "Yes, Ying Tai, the daughter of the Ying family is a rare talent with both virtue and talent, outstanding. It is reasonable for such an outstanding person to be busy."

Sang Xueliang: "Madam, you are so polite! It's a good thing that Rong'er is busy. It shows that she, the young master of the Ying family, is a splendid and outstanding person. I am almost dying of envy that the Ying family has such a daughter!"

……

Feng Qingning was flattered by the continuous and exaggerated compliments from several representatives, which made her smile from ear to ear.

"You guys are praising her too much. Seriously, she's still just a fledgling, inexperienced little girl~"

"She just knows how to be lazy in front of me every day and act like a spoiled brat in front of her brother. She's also known for her bad temper. It's all because of Yang'er's excessive indulgence."

"As long as everyone is okay with it, please don't praise her too much, otherwise she will really go to heaven~"

"Hahahaha!"

Shen Mingxing was the first to laugh out loud, and her little hands holding the wine bowl were shaking.

After drinking the first bowl of wine together, Feng Qingning continued the topic he was about to talk about.

"Instead of just waiting here, why don't we all take a look together and see what Yan'er is doing right now?"

Without waiting for others to respond, Feng Qingning turned her head and looked at Huo Yan who was sitting opposite her.

"What do you think, brother?"

Huo Yan was a cunning and shrewd man. How could he not know that Feng Qingning's move was intended to appease his own grandson? He was restless, so he responded with a smile.

"Of course! This suggestion from my sister-in-law is a great one. It just so happens that we can both take this rare opportunity to see what's so special about Rong'er's daily life."

Feng Qingning received the recognition of the distinguished guest, so she raised her hand and pulled out a pure white magnolia hairpin pinned behind her head.

Using both hands, he twisted the hairpin clockwise, took out a fingernail-sized technological chip from the middle, and handed it to Nan Yuan beside him.

Chu Yu and others were dumbfounded when they saw this.

It turned out that Feng Qingning hid the chip that could monitor Shi Rong's every move at the critical moment, no matter where he was, in such a secluded and hard-to-find place and carried it with him.

Isn’t this too thoughtful?

After Nan Yuan's skillful operation, in just about a minute, a real-time painting gradually became clearer on the snow-white wall inlaid with gold and jade frames on the side opposite to everyone.
