Chapter 20: Unwelcome Guest

As soon as Huang Yunchong's voice fell, an old servant stepped forward, holding a jade box in both hands and presented it:

"Two of you, inside the box are a pair of Nine-Leaf King Ginseng, which is gifted to Mr. Su and Mrs. Su from my master. Please accept it on their behalf."

Nine-Leaf King Ginseng!

Everyone in the grand hall completely lost their composure.

Many important figures were shaken in their hearts, their gaze changed.

This was a genuine "spirit medicine," extremely rare and precious, with astonishing value. It was not something that could be easily bought on the market!

A grand gesture, definitely a grand gesture!

Who could have imagined that the esteemed Huang Clan Patriarch, while offering birthday wishes, would personally present such a generous gift to the seemingly insignificant family of Wen Changtai, who held the lowest status in the main lineage of the Wen family?

Even Wen Changjing and Wen Changqing were somewhat perplexed, unable to understand Huang Yunchong's intentions.

Wen Changtai and Qin Qing could no longer remain seated, becoming flustered and pleasantly surprised.

"T-Thank you... thank you very much..."

Wen Changtai hastily clasped his hands, his voice stuttering. He was originally an honest and straightforward person who had never experienced such a scene before.

Huang Yunchong smiled and said, "Brother, you have a good daughter, and a good son-in-law!"

The term "son-in-law" was emphasized heavily by him, carrying a subtle emotion.

Wen Changtai was overjoyed, his face beaming with a smile.

Being praised by the head of the Huang family gave him a sense of pride.

"Are you saying that this pair of Nine-Leaf King Ginseng is prepared for Lingzhao?"

At this moment, Qin Qing, seemingly unable to believe it, couldn't help but speak up to confirm.

Huang Yunchong glanced at the old servant beside him, and the latter quickly explained, "Madam, this gift is prepared for both your daughter and son-in-law."

Qin Qing's face immediately lit up with a smile. For her, whether it was prepared for her daughter or her son-in-law, it was all the same!

What made her feel the most comfortable was that previously, their table with Wen Changtai was extremely deserted and ignored by everyone.

But now, with Huang Yunchong's arrival, not only did he greet them, but he also presented them with a special gift, instantly making them the center of attention!

This feeling was undeniably delightful!

"Lingzhao has become more and more remarkable. Although she hasn't returned, she has still given her mother a face-lift!" Qin Qing thought happily in her heart.

Huang Yunchong didn't say much more. His words were already clear enough, and whether Wen Changtai and his wife understood or not was their own business.

And the thought of finally giving away this "gift" that was originally meant as an apology to Su Yi brought a sense of relief to Huang Yunchong.

"Su Yi may not care about this gift, but he will surely sense the sincerity of our Huang family's apology. That should be enough..." Huang Yunchong thought to himself.

"Huang, please take a seat."

Wen Changjing walked over with a smile, inviting Huang Yunchong once again.

This time, Huang Yunchong didn't refuse. However, before taking his seat, he said to Huang Qianjun beside him, "Go sit outside."

Huang Qianjun was taken aback but quickly understood. He turned around and walked out of the ancestral hall without even looking elsewhere. He went straight to Su Yi's table and muttered in a low voice, "Su..."

Su Yi glanced at the young man who used to be arrogant and unruly but now appeared submissive and obedient in front of him, casually saying, "Today, you are a guest, and I am not the host here. Sit wherever you like."

Huang Qianjun felt relieved and quickly and cautiously took his seat.

Wen Lingxue frowned, feeling puzzled. She always felt that Huang Qianjun was different today, acting guilty and appearing extremely obedient.

Was this still the arrogant and ruthless playboy?

The people in the nearby area were also confused, looking at each other. What was happening today?

Even the younger generation of the Wen family, including Wen Shaobei, noticed that something was off. They all had an expression of doubt.

Su Yi, the disregarded son-in-law, drank alone while Huang Qianjun, the renowned playboy of Guangling City, sat there reserved and obedient.

That scene was particularly eye-catching.

But no one explained anything to them.

Su Yi wouldn't say anything.

And Huang Qianjun certainly wouldn't expose his own flaws.

For a while, there was a slightly strange atmosphere in the surrounding area.

Not long after, another announcement came from a distance:

"Li Tianhan, the patriarch of the Li clan, is here to celebrate!"

Boom!

The whole venue was in an uproar, and many people couldn't sit still.

The Li clan was the first clan in Guangling City, and the current patriarch, Li Tianhan, had extensive connections and remarkable influence. They had interactions with many powerful and influential families in Yunhe County.

But everyone in Guangling City knew that the relationship between the Li clan and the Wen clan was not good!

Especially in recent years, as the power of the Wen clan declined, the Li clan had long been eyeing their territory, attempting to swallow up some of the businesses controlled by the Wen clan.

It could be said that the relationship between the two families was already extremely tense, not just a rivalry but a mutual hostility.

Yet now, Li Tianhan, the patriarch of the Li clan, appeared at the birthday banquet of the Wen family's matriarch!
