With the arrival of Christmas, Zhu Wencong brought Su Yanqiao, Adele, and Zhangsun Hongyuan to Lawrent's large estate.
Zhangsun Hongyuan was very curious, wondering why he was brought to such a family banquet as he was not really a eunuch.
Zhu Wencong said there were both family and private matters involved, and they were not truly there just to mooch a meal or a free place to stay for a while.
Lawrent, accompanied by Kalman, personally greeted them at the entrance, the rapid growth of the past two years truly beyond any further astonishment.
Lawrent had initially planned his retirement, to live out the rest of his days in peace, declining to get involved in any underworld strife.
But from the moment Zhu Wencong appeared, Lawrent knew he should abandon his naive retirement plan, seeing opportunity right before his eyes.
Given Zhu Wencong's age and capability, he could bring a bright future, enough to shelter three generations of his family!
