”Understood, understood!” Secretary Wang quickly nodded, respectfully saying, ”The leader specifically mentioned before that President Lin is returning home to visit family, and we must make proper arrangements.”

Listening to their familiar conversation filled with a sense of power.

Lin Muchuan and Peng Xiaomeng just felt a loud ”buzz” in their heads as if they were hit hard by a heavy hammer, almost unable to think.

What... what is going on here?!

Lin Muxue turned back, taking in the expressions on her brother and sister-in-law’s faces.

A wave of extreme pleasure, like the most powerful electric current, suddenly shot from her feet to the top of her head.

She could even feel her toes in high heels excitedly curling and spreading inside her stockings, then curling again...

Satisfying! How can a mere ”satisfying” describe it!

However, this was just the appetizer.

The grand play she meticulously planned, ”Return to Glory,” was just beginning.

”Let’s go, we should head in first.”

She withdrew her gaze, her tone calm, and took the lead in stepping forward, walking grandly towards the hotel lobby surrounded by people.

...

On the second floor, the Peony Hall banquet room.

Nearly all the guests had arrived, and the joyous music mingled with voices, creating a lively and noisy atmosphere.

”Hey, why hasn’t Xue come up yet? It’s almost 12 o’clock.” Second aunt Wang Suyun glanced at her phone.

”Xiaochuan went down to pick her up, she should be here soon.”

Wang Suxia said this, but she felt a little anxious inside.

Lin Baoshan was even more restless, frequently glancing towards the banquet hall’s entrance.

As parents, after not seeing their daughter for nearly two years, it was impossible not to miss her.

Moreover, the feeling of guilt made them even more uneasy.

Aunt Wang Sumei, adorned with pearls and jewels, laughed, ”That child Xue, it’s been two years since she came home, and she hasn’t even greeted her elders. When she arrives, I must have a good word with her.”

”Exactly.” Someone chimed in, ”At the very least, during holidays, she should give the family elders a call to greet them. The internet is so convenient now.”

Soon, a chorus of discussions arose one after another.

Before long, Zhao Peng and Shi Mengjia walked over holding wine glasses.

Jiajia smiled brightly and asked, ”What are you all talking about that’s so lively?”

”Haha, we’re talking about our family’s star, Xue!” Second aunt Wang Suyun laughed, ”We haven’t seen her for several years, and we’re all concerned about how she’s doing.”

Because she has loved beauty and dressing up since she was a child, not to mention her outstanding looks, Xue had been the subject of such teasing by relatives quite often.

Jiajia covered her mouth, laughing, ”I also haven’t seen her for a long time; I can’t even see her on Moments, probably because she blocked me.”

”For sure, mine is blocked too.”

”Me as well, she just doesn’t want us to see her life.”

A few jokes made Lin Baoshan and Wang Suxia even more embarrassed, unable to find a way to explain.

Jiajia saw the confused look on her fiancé Zhao Peng’s face and explained with a smile, ”Xue is my younger aunt’s daughter, she has been working in Yan City and hasn’t returned for nearly two years. She specifically timed her flight back today to attend our engagement party, which really honors me.”

Zhao Peng flashed an appropriate smile, ”She should, we’re all family. Xue is so considerate, we must toast to her properly later.”

Second aunt Wang Suyun immediately chimed in, ”Oh my, Zhao Peng, you know a lot of people and have many connections. If you get the chance, you must introduce a good match for our Xue! She’s the only one in our big family who hasn’t settled down yet.”

”Yes, yes, Xue is so beautiful; she shouldn’t be left out.”

Zhao Peng smiled and politely said, ”Sure, no problem. I do have quite a few single friends over this way, in business, finance, IT circles.”

Just then, hurried footsteps came.

Zhao Peng’s mother walked over quickly, unable to hide her excitement and nervousness on her face, ”Xiaopeng, quickly, don’t stay here!”

”What’s wrong, mom?”

”Hurry to the entrance! Mayor Li and leaders from the provincial department are outside welcoming important guests! Your dad wants you to go over and make sure you show your face to the leaders!”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Peng’s face immediately tensed. Not even bothering with pleasantries with the relatives there, he responded and quickly turned to head over.

As soon as he left, the relatives here instantly quieted down.

Provincial department leaders? Mayor Li?

Everyone looked at each other, faces filled with surprise.

They were all shocked by this sudden news.

Soon, more information came from the male guests’ side.

Prompting waves of suppressed exclamations.

It turned out that the hall next to them had already been temporarily divided into a private room, jointly hosting a heavyweight guest by the provincial and city government officials.

And Director Feng, who only made a brief appearance earlier, was part of the reception team.

Everyone could no longer sit still, all curiously looking out toward the banquet hall’s open door.

Only to see Zhao Changhong and his wife standing with Zhao Peng outside by the sign-in desk, looking respectfully in the direction of the elevator.

A crowd had already gathered there—

Hotel executives, security personnel, and several officials in uniform with serious expressions.

The corridor’s atmosphere suddenly became heavy, and even the air seemed tightly pressed.

”The Deputy Mayor personally came?”

”Oh my god, who on earth is the person next door?”

Whispers arose one after another, everyone was excited yet nervous.

Just then, a guest from Zhao Peng’s party hurriedly came in, gesturing for silence to the room.

With a serious expression, he said, ”Everyone, quiet down! Don’t make noise! The leaders are outside!”

This reminder, like a bucket of cold water, quieted the whole room instantly.
