Reborn in the 1980s: Recapture My Devoted Husband-Chapter 851 - 747: Family Reunion (Part 2)
Itβs just because of the issue between Mei Langchi and Tao Jia that their two families have already had a falling out. Sister Tao Jia definitely wonβt come today. ππ«ππ²ππππ§π πππ₯.πππ
After Lin Wan came out, Ye Qing wasnβt far behind and followed closely.
Today, her Hua Hua is dressed like a little lord, and Ye Qing did this intentionally, specially choosing to wear that red dress she picked out yesterday.
Both of them are in red, each with their unique charm. But inevitably, it made people a bit embarrassed.
In just a short time, many guests had already arrived at the banquet, the atmosphere full of laughter and chatter, creating quite the lively scene. There are also those who brought along their children, considering itβs still summer vacation.
In the venue, a corner was specifically fenced off, filled with balloons, toys, rocking horses, and the like. Just one glance and you know itβs meant for the children.
Little Star was eager to go over, but since it was her first time greeting people, having kids around would be good for introductions. Lin Wan told her to wait for half an hour before going.
Luckily, Little Star was obedient and followed closely behind Mom, counting in her heart how many turns Momβs wristwatch would make in half an hour.
Liang Qian saw Lin Wan come out and pulled her over to introduce her to some of the nearby noblewomen.
"This is my eldest granddaughter-in-law, Lang Yiβs wife, named Lin Wan, the daughter of Lin Familyβs eldest in Z City."
Xie Lingzhi saw Liang Qian holding Lin Wanβs hand, as if they were the actual mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Unwilling to be outdone, she smiled warmly and affectionately held Ye Qingβs hand. "This is my Xiao Chiβs wife, Ye Qing, married into our family for several years now. Today is a great chance to get acquainted."
Halfway through Xie Lingzhiβs introduction, she found herself unsure how to describe this daughter-in-law. No family background, plus a second marriage. Whatever she said couldnβt overshadow Lin Wan. Hmph, if only it were Tao Jia.
"Oh dear, Mrs. Mei, you are truly blessed, just look at these daughters-in-law, each more beautiful than the other."
Everyone knows about Mei Familyβs sonβs divorce from Tao Familyβs daughter. No one privately abstained from talking about Mei Langchi, as a military man. He had an affair during the marriage and even had a child.
When the story broke, Mei Family didnβt admit to it, but now looking at Mei Langchiβs remarried child, it seems that kid is about four or five years old, right? Doesnβt this slap their familyβs face hard?
"Yes indeed, our family is truly blessed with grandsons." Old Mrs. Mei has lived over seventy years and cherishes a good reputation, always putting on a benevolent facade in front of outsiders, creating the illusion of harmony within the family to avoid being criticized.
Since the incident where her two sons fought and made a ruckus, the people in the compound have known. Now, not just half, but a small fraction of the people are aware that the Mei Familyβs apparent tranquility is deceptive.
Beside her, Lin Wan smiled gracefully and quickly pulled Little Star over to greet everyone.
Little Star called out one "Auntie" and "Grandma" after another, eliciting laughter from people who couldnβt stop praising her for quite some time.
At this moment, Ye Qing and Xie Lingzhiβs expressions were slightly discordant. Xie Lingzhi silently cursed this daughter-in-law for being unpresentable.
Ye Qing, on the other hand, resented Lin Wan for stealing her spotlight, considering she is actually the eldest daughter-in-law of the Mei Family. She is the legitimate one.
Moreover, her son was timid, didnβt even wear a smile when addressing people, making it hard to win them over.
A hint of darkness flashed in her eyes, but she couldnβt lose her composure, so she raised a smiling face and played along with the people.
Ye Qing felt at that moment, the gazes directed at her were mocking, making her feel awkward and angry. She deeply despised these arrogant attitudes, looking down on others. In her view, these people ought to be beneath her.
With so many people at the venue, introductions went around, but few were truly memorable.
Unable to drink, she grabbed a cup of juice, letting Little Star have a few sips, then sent her off to play.
Hua Hua stayed by Ye Qingβs side, watching the kids in the childrenβs area, wanting to join them too, yet Mom forbid him from going. She insisted he stood obediently by her side, trying to please those unfamiliar aunties.
By around six oβclock, most of the guests had arrived. The men were uniformly in military attire. Just earlier, listening to godmotherβs introductions, they were all impressive figures.
One has to admit, the Mei Family shouldnβt be underestimated.
At this point, Lin Wan also noticed Han Yiβs figure in the hall, dressed in military uniform following Mr. Mei, holding a glass of red wine.
When Lin Wan spotted him, Han Yiβs gaze accurately projected towards the corner of the hall, observing that slender figure, with a smile in his eyes as he looked at her.
Lin Wan returned his smile.
