Qian’e said angrily, “The Han family is just making things difficult for us!”

“When you organize a big event, it’s not uncommon to overlook one or two things. Whatever it is, we can talk about it later,” Qiao Mei said.

“Alright  I’ll take your advice,” Qian’e said after taking a deep breath.

Not everyone in the Xia family went to the banquet. Apart from Xu Lan, Li Gui and Xia Mao who must attend, among the younger generation, there were only Xia Wen, Xia You and Xia Yu’s wife, Yun Lan.

Xia He’s pregnancy had not reached the three-month mark. Her condition was not stabilized yet, so Xu Lan did not allow her to leave the house and she had to give the engagement banquet a miss. However, she had already sent her gift to Qian’e very early on. It was a pair of red pillows with the word for “happiness” embroidered in gold thread.

Xia He had specially found 10 elderly couples who were more than 100 years old to sew one stitch each on the pillow. This gift contained her best wishes for Qian’e and Han Chen to grow old together.

The restaurant which the Han family chose was quite a grand venue which was listed among the top 10 restaurants in the capital. Xu Lan looked at the tables of random restaurant customers on the first floor and felt a little annoyed. She asked disdainfully, “Is the Han family not doing so well over these past few years? They can’t even afford to book the entire place for such a big event.”

Han Chen’s secretary, Xiao Kai, said with a smile, “It’s not like that. Our young master has booked the entire second floor. Please follow me to the second floor.”

“If the Han family is facing any financial difficulties, they can just let me know. After all, we’re going to become a family soon. The next time we have a meal together, the Han family can come to my restaurant. I can definitely ensure that we have exclusive use of the entire place. The Han family won’t need to put in any effort,” Li Gui said.

Qian’e looked at everyone apologetically. She did not expect the Han family to treat them like this. They were simply trying to humiliate her and her family!

Han Chen ran down from the second floor. Xiao Kai led everyone to a private room on the second floor and showed them in. Qian’e pulled Han Chen to a corner and questioned him angrily, “What do you mean by this! There is one car missing from the convoy! And this situation with the restaurant! Your family must be purposely making things difficult for me!”

“My mother is the main organizer today. I’m so sorry, I also just found out about all this,” Han Chen said apologetically.

“You already know that your mother is not fond of me, yet you actually feel at ease to let her organize the engagement banquet! Are you stupid? Do you use your brain at all!” Qian’e said as she tried to suppress her anger.

Han Chen stood rooted to the spot and did not say anything. Recently, he had quarreled with his family over the wedding matters and also had to deal with all kinds of work issues in the Han Corporation. He was already overwrought and really did not have the energy to keep an eye on how his mother organized this engagement banquet.

His mother had clearly agreed to his request with a big smile on her face and also agreed to let him marry Qian’e in a grand manner. In the end, it looked like Han Chen should not have trusted his family members so easily.

Although one’s family members were supposed to be the people that one could always count on, Han Chen’s family members were always trying to cause trouble for him.

“I’m sorry,” Han Chen said apologetically.

Qian’e looked at Han Chen’s bloodshot eyes and felt her heart ache. She knew how much effort Han Chen had put in for them. Her eyes reddened and she said, “I also want to apologize to you. I was too aggressive just now. Let’s go up first. We can talk after the engagement banquet.”

Han Chen’s mother, Du Juan, warmly welcomed the Xia family members to their seats. Xu Lan and Li Gui did not smile at the Han family members and kept a cold expression on their faces the entire time.

Qian’e and Han Chen returned to the private room. Xiao Kai walked over to Han Chen and asked, “Do you want the dishes to be served now?”

“Yes, let’s do it,” Han Chen said.

“Mr Xia, Mrs Xia, it’s been a long time since we last met. We haven’t seen each other since your old master’s 80th birthday,” Du Juan said.

“Is that so? I don’t really remember this,” Xu Lan said coldly. Xia Mao did not say anything.

Du Juan did not seem to feel awkward at all and continued to talk about the shared past between the Han family and the Xia family. Everyone just listened to her rattle on and Xu Lan would occasionally respond to her.

When all the dishes were served, Xia You frowned and asked, “Why is it all vegetarian dishes?”

“Oh! I forgot to tell everyone! My husband, Han Kuo, encountered a big storm when he traveled by sea during a recent business trip. It’s only with the blessing from the heavens that he managed to come home safely! From then on, our family has abstained from killing lives! That’s why we don’t eat meat anymore,” Du Juan said.

“Mother!” Han Chen shouted angrily.

Du Juan looked at Han Chen earnestly and said, “This is how it has always been! Have you forgotten?”
