"Yun Ting, Dong Ge and Old Pang are here!"
Fang Yanxi, wearing an apron, called out to Wan Yunting and the others in the lawn leisure area from the back door. She then saw Ma Zhendong with his wife Liu Yajie, their son Ma Jinghao, and the elder Mr. Ma Jianguo and Aunt Huang Xiue.
Pang Yuan also brought his wife You Yumin and daughter Pang Siqi. Wan Yunting quickly got up to greet them. Second Brother and Wang Anrong also stood up to greet Ma Jianguo when they saw him.
"Uncle Ma, Aunt, happy new year..."
Wan Yunting went to greet the elderly couple Ma Jianguo and Huang Xiue, and then greeted the wives of Ma Zhendong and Pang Yuan.
"Good, good, good. I thought you wouldn't be back, you rascal," Ma Jianguo said, patting Wan Yunting's arm with a smile.
"How could I not be?"
Wan Yunting helped him to the leisure area and said with a smile, "But Uncle Ma, I'm back this time to arrange things here. Once they're settled, I'll be heading to the capital."
Huang Xiue took her daughter-in-law Liu Yajie and Pang Yuan's wife You Yumin to the kitchen to help. Ma Zhendong's son Ma Jinghao and Pang Yuan's daughter Pang Siqi ran off to play with Wan'er in the lawn among the flowers and plants, and the sounds of children's laughter could be heard.
As he sat down, Ma Jianguo's old face showed surprise, and he asked, "You won't be coming back to Hua Du City anymore?"
Wan Yunting poured them tea and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Old Ma, I'll definitely visit you often."
"That's good then."
Ma Jianguo nodded and smiled. Ma Zhendong also asked Wan Yunting about Ouyang Liqun's affairs, so Wan Yunting briefly explained Ouyang Liqun's situation to Pang Yuan and the others.
However, soon several cars stopped outside the villa's gate. Jin Xiuwen alighted, leading Dai Qiuyue, followed by He Chengping with his girlfriend Sun Miaomiao, and Xue Jianchao with his girlfriend Zheng Lanmeng.
Of course, Jin Xiuwen's secretary Zhou Xiaomin also came along. She greeted Wan Yunting and then went into the kitchen to help his mother Huang Guilan.
Seeing his classmates arrive, Wan Yunting greeted Ma Jianguo and the others, and then asked Jin Xiuwen and the others to sit in the living room. After all, they were not very familiar with Ma Jianguo and Ma Zhendong. If they sat together, it would only make Jin Xiuwen, He Chengping and the others uncomfortable.
"I really didn't expect it, Old Wan has become a capital city person," He Chengping said with a smile.
"Indeed. I heard their Ouyang family is one of the five great families in the capital. Old Wan has ascended to heaven in one step," Xue Jianchao said with a smile.
"What do you mean ascended to heaven?"
Jin Xiuwen shot them a glare and pointed at Wan Yunting, saying, "Even if our Old Wan doesn't acknowledge the Ouyang family, he's still a prominent figure."
"That's right, the title of Chairman of Chaoting Group is not to be underestimated," He Chengping said with a smile.
Xue Jianchao said, "I say, Old Wan, you've been hiding it quite well. You didn't tell us such things, but Old Jin knew. Are you not considering me and Chengping as brothers?"
Wan Yunting gave them a glare and said with a smile, "You two are big mouths. If I told you, the whole world would know."
"Haha..."
This made everyone laugh. Then, seeing more people arriving, Wan Yunting told them to entertain themselves in the living room. Before he left, he went to the front yard to greet the newcomers, who were Kang Hongwen and his wife Zhou Caihong, and their daughter Kang Ruolan.
At the same time, Grandpa Chang, Chang Wude, also came with his wife Mu Hongying. Kang Ruolan drove them over.
"Uncle-Master, Grandma Mu, happy new year."
Wan Yunting first clasped his hands in greeting to Chang Wude and Mu Hongying, and then smiled and greeted Kang Hongwen and Zhou Caihong: "Uncle Kang, Aunt Zhou, happy new year..."
"Haha, good..."
Kang Hongwen and Zhou Caihong nodded with smiles. Seeing Wan Yunting again, they didn't dare to treat him as casually as before. This was because the Wan Yunting before them was already a member of the Ouyang family, one of the five great families in the capital.
If Kang Hongwen could have been considered an equal to Wan Yunting before, now, Kang Hongwen, the richest man in Hua Du City, was nothing in front of the Ouyang family in the capital.
"Eh, kid, who is that girl?"
Just as they were about to enter the villa's living room, Chang Wude noticed Zhang Xian'er and Duan Yingying chatting on the balcony on the second floor. Chang Wude immediately noticed Zhang Xian'er's unusual aura!
Zhang Xian'er also glanced at Chang Wude, raised her eyebrows slightly, and then continued chatting with Duan Yingying, ignoring the people downstairs.
"From Longhu Mountain."
Wan Yunting explained to Chang Wude, making his old face show surprise. "You're doing well, kid. You even managed to charm a disciple from Longhu Mountain. Look at this girl's powerful aura; her martial arts should be no less than yours."
"Yes."
Wan Yunting led him into the living room and said with a smile, "But I didn't charm her; she came to me on her own initiative..."
Wan Yunting didn't say much more about Zhang Xian'er to him. He took Kang Hongwen and his wife to the back to greet Ma Jianguo and the others.
Then, another car arrived at the villa gate. It was Lin Yanan, dressed as a noble lady, arriving with Huang Yuqing and Jiang Peipei.
Today, Jiang Peipei wore a beautiful dress, a stark contrast to her usual tomboyish attire in sportswear. The current Jiang Peipei had a touch of femininity, and standing at the entrance of a man's house made her a little nervous.
"Let's go, Peipei."
Huang Yuqing actually understood that this girl still had feelings for Wan Yunting.
But they had already clarified things last time, considering that encounter an accident. At that time, Jiang Peipei had acted indifferent, but she cried for a whole afternoon after returning and took half a month to recover.
"Let's go."
Lin Yanan, who was unaware of this matter, waved and led them in. She looked up at Zhang Xian'er and Duan Yingying on the second-floor balcony and said, "This Old Wan, he's surrounded by many beauties. No wonder Yanxi is upset!"
Huang Yuqing smiled, glanced at Jiang Peipei, and then looked at Zhang Xian'er and Duan Yingying on the second-floor balcony. She also smiled without saying anything.
"Yanan, Yuqing, and Peipei are here."
Jin Xiuwen, who was in the living room, saw the three women enter. Xue Jianchao called out to Fang Yanxi in the kitchen, "Hostess, your classmates are here."
Fang Yanxi, wearing an apron, came out, smiled and shot Xue Jianchao a glare, then welcomed Lin Yanan, Huang Yuqing, and Jiang Peipei: "You're here. Do you want to come in and help?"
"No, I won't help."
Lin Yanan waved her hand and said proudly, "We are guests, here to eat. We won't help you, the hostess, with chores. Hurry up and get busy. I haven't eaten lunch yet."
Fang Yanxi playfully hit Lin Yanan and said, "Then you all go sit in the living room."
Huang Yuqing and Jiang Peipei nodded with smiles, but they didn't see Wan Yunting. Huang Yuqing asked on behalf of Jiang Peipei, "Where is Old Wan?"
Fang Yanxi pointed to the back: "He's in the back entertaining Mr. Kang and the others."
"Let's go take a look..."
Huang Yuqing said with a smile, then pulled Jiang Peipei to the back door of the villa. They saw a group of people sitting in the lawn leisure area, with Wan Yunting chatting and laughing with them. Suddenly, he sensed something and turned his head to look at Huang Yuqing and Jiang Peipei standing at the back door.
Wan Yunting's gaze froze, and his eyes met Jiang Peipei's. They both had a feeling.
Wan Yunting got up, greeted Old Ma and the others, and quickly walked over with a smile, saying, "Peipei, Yuqing, you're here."
"Yes, we came in Yanan's car," Huang Yuqing said with a smile.
Jiang Peipei put on her usual demeanor and said with a smile, "We thought you were going to the capital and wouldn't be back."
Looking at Jiang Peipei's still arrogant demeanor, Wan Yunting smiled and said, "I never knew, Peipei, you look a bit like a woman when you wear a skirt."
"Tsk, who are you calling not like a woman?"
Jiang Peipei glared, annoyed, and hit Wan Yunting's arm. He didn't dodge, and said with a smile, "Yes, yes, yes, I was wrong. Peipei is the most womanly."
"Hehe..."
Huang Yuqing laughed and said, "My hairline is so bright!"
Jiang Peipei, understanding the implication, blushed and said coyly, "Yuqing, I think your forehead is shining."
Huang Yuqing immediately raised her hand to her hairline: "You're teasing me about my hairline again."
"Haha..."
Wan Yunting laughed, looking at Huang Yuqing's hairline, and said, "It's okay. I'll give you a prescription later. You can boil water with the medicine and wash your hair, and I guarantee your hairline will return to how it was when you were eighteen."
"Really? Then don't forget," Huang Yuqing said, overjoyed to see a glimmer of hope for her hairline.
Wan Yunting nodded and said with a smile, "You go ahead and play with Old Jin and the others in the living room. I need to go greet them."
"Go on, go on."
Jiang Peipei waved her hand indifferently. Wan Yunting gave her a meaningful look before smiling and turning to continue accompanying Ma Jianguo and the others.
Then, he saw Han Shumei supporting his mother Yan Zhihua. Wan Yunting personally went out to greet them: "Grandma Yan, Sister Han, you're finally here."
"Little Wan, congratulations,"
Yan Zhihua, dressed in red, held Wan Yunting's arm and congratulated him with a smile, asking, "How are things? Have you reunited with your birth parents? How are you getting along?"
"Yes, yes, very good."
Wan Yunting supported her and saw his sister Ouyang Fanmeng on the second floor. He waved her down to introduce her to Yan Zhihua and Han Shumei: "Grandma Yan, Sister Han, this is my sister, Ouyang Fanmeng."
"Fanmeng, this is Grandma Yan and Sister Han. They are from the Hua Du City Children's Welfare Institute. They took me in before. It's all thanks to Sister Han that I could reunite with my parents this time," Wan Yunting also said with a smile to his sister Ouyang Fanmeng.
"Yes, yes, I know. Hello, Grandma Yan, hello, Sister Han..." Ouyang Fanmeng politely bowed and greeted Yan Zhihua and Han Shumei.
"Good, good, good..."
Yan Zhihua went up and pulled Ouyang Fanmeng, then looked at Wan Yunting and said with a smile, "As expected of siblings, you look so much alike."
"Indeed."
Han Shumei smiled. Dressed in a professional skirt suit, she perfectly displayed the charm of a mature woman. Wan Yunting invited them, mother and daughter, into the living room. Jin Xiuwen, Xue Jianchao, He Chengping, and Jiang Peipei also stood up to greet Yan Zhihua, and they knew that she and Han Shumei were the directors of the welfare institute.
Then came Fang Guowen and his wife Du Xiumei, supporting Grandpa Fang Shoushan. Wan Yunting greeted them and took them to the back lawn leisure area to sit and chat with Ma Jianguo and the others.
Most of the invited guests had arrived, and the dishes ordered from the restaurant had also been delivered. Three large tables were set up in the backyard, and everyone took their seats.
