Shi Chen lightened the mood with his jests, and the tense atmosphere quickly dissipated into nothingness.
Seizing this opportunity, Shi Long hurriedly invited everyone to take their seats, signaling that the banquet was about to begin.
The Shi Family spared no expense, setting up a hundred tables. Even though each table seated eight people, they weren't necessarily filled. Family members or acquaintances naturally gravitated towards each other. The table where Lu Qingqing and Fu Yisheng sat, for instance, included Song Xiufeng, Ning Anping, Song Xiuluan, as well as the more familiar faces of Wang Ming and his wife Tang Tang—a total of seven people.
Wang Ming and Tang Tang were pleasantly surprised.
Even in his most prosperous business days, Wang Ming rarely had the chance to interact with Song Xiufeng and Ning Anping up close. His frequent dealings with Fu Yisheng were solely due to their business relations.
