"Xiangyu." Yuan Xiangyu’s father, Yuan Chongjing, looked at his jumping daughter with a sense of helplessness.

Yuan Xiangyu stuck out her tongue secretly, hurried over to obediently greet and recognize people alongside Yuan Chongjing, and once it was over, she secretly waved to Yi Roujing and several others, pointing to Xia Xingchen, indicating that she wanted to meet this new beautiful face later.

Yuan Chongjing had been remorseful for agreeing to let his daughter go to Jiang Province, and now he felt emotional. He knew his daughter’s personality best; she had a temper but no bad intentions. However, because her temper caused Heping to have a premature birth, that was a big mistake. As soon as Yuan Xiangyu arrived in Jing City, she took the initiative to admit her mistake, and of course, Yuan Chongjing had to give her a beating.

But initially, his daughter was not good at making friends in Jing City; all of a sudden, she fell in love with writing letters and sending parcels of local specialties. At first, he thought his daughter had been deceived. After inquiring with Hu Zhishu and knowing it was a person worth associating with, he left it be. Who would have thought the other party was the Xu Family’s new daughter-in-law they had just found?

Yuan Chongjing is not a snob who judges people based on their status; otherwise, he would have had his daughter sever ties back then. He truly hoped Yuan Xiangyu could make real friends, and it seems she did. Thinking this way, the smile on Yuan Chongjing’s face became even brighter.

The Huang Family arrived early; Mr. Huang and Mrs. Huang both came. Their seniority was higher than Xu Zongyin’s, but they didn’t want to miss such a lively occasion. Xu Zongyin personally assisted the two elderly upstairs, giving them full respect, as they would be in-laws in the future.

On the way upstairs, they met several family elders. Xu Zongyin couldn’t help but explain that the Huang Family would be the future in-laws of his godchild Anmin. Now, more people wanted to have a celebratory drink.

After many households arrived, Xu Zongyin let Yi Roujing go upstairs to rest. Ding Ancheng personally helped her upstairs. The banquet hall was on the third floor, and today there were as many as thirty tables; this scale was even more than some weddings.

"Have some water, eat some snacks, and be good." Ding Ancheng personally served tea and water, finally reminding, which earned him a roll of eyes from Yi Roujing.

"My parents are here; what can I do?"

"That’s true." Ding Ancheng nodded, "Mom, keep an eye on Jing."

Yi Roujing was exasperated, pinching Ding Ancheng’s waist and getting comforted with a rub on hand and a pat on the head. After appeasing her, Ding Ancheng went downstairs.

Li Hongying watched the loving couple and felt delighted, softly concerned about whether Yi Roujing was tired.

Yuan Xiangyu saw Yi Roujing coming up and quickly pulled Hu Heping to sit together.

"Uncle, Aunt, I’m Yuan Xiangyu, a good friend of Roujing and Anmin." Yuan Xiangyu introduced herself very cheerfully and straightforwardly to Ding Weihuo and Li Hongying.

"I’ve heard about you from Roujing and Anmin; you are indeed a lively and lovely girl." Li Hongying had a very good first impression of Yuan Xiangyu.

"Mr. Ding, Auntie." Hu Heping called out with a smile, having met before, and handed Li Hongying the baby.

Thinking that in more than half a year, she would also be a grandmother, Li Hongying felt warm and soft inside, playing with the baby. Hu Zhishu and Zhu Lanzhen also came over to greet Ding Weihuo and Li Hongying, while also introducing people they knew.

"Sister Heping, your parents are really nice. I was worried my parents wouldn’t open up and be constrained. Now it’s good; they’ve entered the social circle." Yi Roujing laughed.

"You, you just take good care of yourself. I heard you even beat up a trafficker on the train to Jing City." Hu Heping said with a disapproving face, "Luckily, nothing happened, or I would see what you would do."

Yuan Xiangyu was hearing this for the first time, "What’s going on, what’s going on? How come I don’t know what you two are talking about? You can’t keep secrets from me."

Yi Roujing didn’t expect how well-informed Hu Heping was.

"Don’t look at me. It was Zhijian. He was transferred to Jiang Province Public Security Bureau and got an emergency call a few days ago to investigate the arrested traffickers." Hu Heping explained, "Zhijian just got transferred not long ago, that’s why he didn’t come to Jing City with us this time. They have to be on duty, and it’s not good to take leave now. Who would have thought that your name would be on the case?"

"Zhijian was worried about you, so he called me. That’s how I found out. Knowing you two arrived in Jing City safely, I didn’t immediately rush to Baiqian Village, deciding to ask you personally today. Zhijian didn’t give details and couldn’t disclose the case." Hu Heping said.

Yi Roujing recounted the incident on the train in full detail, and the two didn’t expect it to be so thrilling.

"Poor Xingchen." Yuan Xiangyu said tearfully, "I heard about her in letters from you before, and this is my first time seeing her. Such a beautiful girl, if she were trafficked away, it would have been tragic. Luckily, Roujing, you were amazing and caught them, otherwise, who knows how many good homes’ daughters and children would have suffered!"

Yi Roujing also felt fortunate, thinking of Xia Xingchen’s tragic life in the book, determined to ensure her happiness this time.

"Luckily, you all are safe." Hu Heping said with lingering fear.

"Yuan Xiangyu, you actually dared to attend a banquet where I am present." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

At the sound of the voice, the three turned their heads, and Yi Roujing saw a girl in a yellow dress with a green coat. Her skin was dark, facial features...

"A nose like a strawberry, when her small eyes are open, I still feel like they’re closed, and her lips look like sausages." Yi Roujing immediately thought of how Yuan Xiangyu had described the girl dressed like a flag, offending whom led her to Jiang Province.

No doubt, Yuan Xiangyu’s description was really accurate without any exaggeration.

"Zhu Danfeng, you’re being a bit too much; it’s been so long, yet you’re still petty over every little thing." Yuan Xiangyu frowned, dissatisfied in her eyes, "I personally went to your house to apologize."

"You call that an apology!" Zhu Danfeng seemed to be jumping, her face probably flushed with anger, but with her dark skin, it was not visible at all.

"All right, all right, let’s talk about our matter later. Today is someone else’s event." Yuan Xiangyu stood up and said to Zhu Danfeng seriously.

"I’ll apologize again today. I was wrong before; I shouldn’t have said those self-assumed things. Just forgive me, won’t you?" Yuan Xiangyu said his words sincerely.

Hearing this, Zhu Danfeng was stunned before snorting, "It’s good you know; don’t be so self-righteous anymore."

"Thank you." Yuan Xiangyu thanked with a smile seeing Zhu Danfeng being so forgiving.

Zhu Danfeng froze again looking at the girl whose smile was bright like the sun. She felt that Yuan Xiangyu seemed to have changed a bit. Her character was still straightforward, but somewhat softened. She used to be flamboyantly beautiful, now modestly beautiful, yet seemingly more dazzling, dazzling enough to make others envious.
