Whenever Lin Wan encountered some difficulty, Mrs. Hong always rushed to her rescue. This time it was no exception. Seeing that Lin Wan fell silent, she quickly tried to help her out.

"Li Mu, you have misunderstood Lin Wan. What she means is that she should contribute to her marriage as Xingyue's sister-in-law. She intends to choose a good family for her and promote a happy marriage. She isn’t necessarily going to marry Cheng Feng."

Madam Lin immediately echoed, "Yeah, that's what I meant. I just took the Cheng Family as an example. Apart from the Lin Family and the Cheng Family, there are six major families in South Seas. There are countless suitable candidates. I’m sure I can find Xingyue a good husband."

Mrs. Hong gave Lin Wan a hard look and secretly complained, "Why is she so dumb? It is clearly not a tight argument."

As expected, Li Mu retorted, "Nonsense! Have you forgotten Xingyue's identity? If you introduce her to other families, are you trying to set the Shen Family up with others? Once she becomes the daughter-in-law of another family, do you think she will still be with us?"

Madam Lin was speechless, staring at her husband in a daze.

He was right. She only remembered that Shen Xingyue was her rival in love, but she forgot that Shen Xingyue was also her ally. If she did this, she would give a powerful family to others for nothing.

Mrs. Hong rubbed her temples. She had no choice but to help her out again.

"Lin Wan, Li Mu is right. How could you consider another family? Are all the men in our Lin Family dead?"

Lin Wan was making a mistake and wasn’t subtle, which made Mrs. Hong worried. But Lin Wan didn't mind. Li Wan immediately realized it and said repeatedly, "Yes, yes, she could marry into the Lin Family. I will find her a good man."

Mrs. Hong was so angry that she almost lost her temper. She sighed. Lin Wan would be scolded again.

Li Mu said, "Why are you finding her a husband? Do you think she needs you to help her find a husband? Her own mother can’t interfere in her marriage. You are just the wife of her mother’s adopted son. Why would you want to dominate her life? Are you trying to offend her?"

"I!" Lin Wan was completely at a loss for words. Mrs. Hong sighed. She couldn't save Lin Wan at all. She was now on her own!

Li Mu continued, "You’d better listen to me on this matter. We won't care about the Cheng Family matter. If they want to propose marriage, they can do it themselves. Whether it’s successful or not, we won't interfere. The same is true for other families. You have to remember your identity. Don't cross the line!"

Lin Wan was discouraged and whispered, "The Cheng Family is hosting a banquet. I have accepted their invitation. At the banquet, Madam Cheng will definitely ask about it. How should I answer her?"

"Just don't go. You can turn down the invitation on the pretext that you’re not feeling well. I'll talk to Xingyue and ask her to refuse the invitation, too. If the Cheng Family doesn’t see you, they'll give up."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

"But you can try what you said. Here is my thought. You might as well ask Kun to hold a few cocktail parties and invite the young talents of the Lin Family and the Shen Family over. Just leave the rest to fate."

Mrs. Hong applauded. Lin Wan was also happy and hurriedly agreed.

It seemed that she had wrongly blamed her husband. How good her husband's idea was! It was much more thoughtful and acceptable.

"Honey, did you already plan to do so?"

"No, I'm just trying to make you happy, my jealous wife. Don't always think that I'm hitting on her."

Lin Wan took his arm and said with a smile, "My husband wouldn't hit on her, but I’m sure that she is hitting on my husband."

Li Mu shook his head helplessly and tapped her nose.

The invitation letter jointly issued by the Lin Family and the Shen Family was sent to other families one after another. It was very polite. In a nutshell, the son-in-law of the Lin Family Li Mu was going to worship the Third Grandaunt of the Shen Family as his adopted mother. He’d like to invite friends from all walks of life to witness this grand occasion.

The householders of these families had different reactions, and they all had a common question. Who the hell was this emerging Shen Family?

The invitation did not mention it, and everyone was at a loss. After inquiring from various sources, they did not get any results. They wondered what was going on.

The Lin Family suddenly made this move when the clan conference was drawing near. Could it be some conspiracy?

Several big families got together to discuss countermeasures with their allies.

In the Feng Family Castle, the three householders of the Feng Family, the Zhao Family, and the Shao Family got together again to discuss this matter together.

"Mr. Feng, what do you think? Are we going or not?" Shao Danzhou asked.

"Of course, we're going. We're not only going but we're also going to congratulate them on a high note. How could we not be there for such a big event?" Mr. Feng replied meaningfully.

Windy said, "Who the hell is this Shen Family? Why didn't we get any news in advance?"

Mr. Feng snorted coldly, "Did you forget the past?"

"Please tell us, Mr. Feng!"

"What Shen Family? Shen is actually Sheng. The Shen Family is the former Sheng family."

The conclusion was a bit surprising, and the two householders couldn't help straightening up.

"Mr. Feng, do you have any evidence?" Windy asked suspiciously.

"No, but from some clues, I’ve concluded that the Shen Family is the former Sheng Family."

"Tell us more."

"It's very simple. First, if it were just an ordinary family, would the Lin Family make such a big deal? That Shen Family must be a powerful old family. Second, their relationship must be very close. Otherwise, how would the Lin Family be willing to build up momentum for them? Who else can meet these two conditions at the same time? Who else could it be except the Lin Family's old ally, the Sheng Family?"

It made sense. The two householders nodded.

Windy sneered, "So, the Sheng Family, who has been hidden from the world, will take the opportunity to present itself this time?"

Mr. Feng responded, "Yes, they are going to officially present themselves. Guys, there will be trouble soon!"

"It's okay!" Shao Danzhou said disdainfully, "The Sheng Family has been away from the world for hundreds of years, and the world has changed. It would be difficult for the Sheng Family to stand out!"

Mr. Feng said solemnly, "You can't tell. The world has changed, but so what? In the end, the competition is still about strength. Whoever has the hardest fist will have the final say."

Windy asked in a low voice, "Mr. Feng, do you think we should...?"

Mr. Feng hesitated for a long time. Then he shook his head and said, "No, that is the common interest of all the families. It would be inappropriate to talk about it at the recognition ceremony. Let's talk about it at the clan conference. Lin Dantong can’t say no then."

The two householders nodded and Shao Danzhou asked, "Mr. Feng, do we need to test the strength of the Sheng Family?"

Heady’s smile became sly, and he responded, "Of course. If we don't test it, how could we know their strength? Danzhou, the Shao Family will take care of it!"

"Okay, I know what to do!"

In the Zhou Family Villa, Zhou Yi and others were also discussing this matter.

Lian Ruxi smiled and said, "Isn't the son-in-law of the Lin Family Li Mu? Mr. Bai, Ms. Shan, now you have a chance to identify him at close range to see if he is the man you are looking for."

Bai Jing and his sister seemed very happy. They had been worried that they couldn’t find an excuse to go to see the son-in-law of the Lin Family. Unexpectedly, the Lin Family offered them such an opportunity.

Zhou Yi frowned and asked, "Ms. Lian, what’s the deal with the Shen Family? Have you heard of it before?"

"No, I've never heard of it. It seems that they have a very close relationship with the Lin Family. The Lin Family is willing to make excuses to help them build up momentum."

"Do you think the recognition ceremony is just an excuse?"

"Of course, it's an excuse. Recognition of an adopted mother is no big deal. Why bother other families? The ceremony is certainly used to help the Shen Family build up momentum."

Zhou Yi nodded slowly and asked Bai Jing, "Mr. Bai, what do you think?"

"Ah, are you asking me?" Bai Jing's mind had been somewhere else. He didn't even hear what Mr. Zhou was asking.

Zhou Yi was amused and speechless. He repeated the question.

Bai Jing waved his hand and said, "I don't know. I don't know. We'll just fight for you. Don't ask me about family matters. Even if you ask me, I couldn’t tell."

Lian Ruxi chuckled, thinking that he was so cute. She stared at him with admiration in her eyes.

Her affectionate eyes made Bai Jing restless. But his shyness made Ms. Lian, the widow, even more obsessed. She just wanted to run straight at him and throw herself into his arms.

Zhou Yi had a headache and smiled bitterly at Shan Tingyan, "Well, I feel really sorry for him."

Shan Tingyan also felt troubled.

Ms. Lian was getting out of line more and more. She made no secret of her admiration for Bai Jing and often put him on the spot.

Two days ago, she had even proposed to him in public. She insisted on marrying Bai Jing, which scared him to tears. What a poor man!

Ms. Shan really hoped that Bai Jing would get married, but Ms. Lian was too blunt. Bai Jing was a shy young man. He would certainly be scared by her bold advances.

Seeing that Ms. Lian was unable to control her emotions again, Shan Tingyan quickly said, "Ms. Lian, Ms. Lian, do we need to prepare in advance?"

"No need to prepare. We can get married right away."

"What?" Shan Tingyan froze.

Zhou Yi couldn't stand it anymore. He cleared his throat and asked loudly, "Ms. Lian, what Ms. Shan means is that we need to prepare anything?"

Only then did Lian Ruxi react, and she said shyly, "We don't need to prepare anything. We’ll just go and watch the show."

Immediately afterwards, she said to Bai Jing, "Brother Jing, accompany me to watch the moon, will you?"

Bai Jing jumped up in fright and ran away. Ms. Lian chuckled and chased out.

Zhou Yi felt ashamed and said with embarrassment, "Well, I feel so sorry for Mr. Bai. Ms. Lian was not like this before."

Shan Tingyan chuckled, "I think it's pretty good. I don't know what you think, Zhou Yi, but I think they are perfect for each other. If they really get married, they will certainly make a perfect couple."

"Yeah, it's just that Ms. Lian is a little impatient, and Mr. Bai is scared. She should take her time!"

Speaking of which, he secretly looked at Shan Tingyan and whispered, "Ms. Shan, let’s go out for a walk, too!"

Shan Tingyan got up immediately and refused, "Zhou Yi, I'm feeling unwell. I have to go back to my room to rest. See you!"

Before Zhou Yi could say anything, she hurried away.

Zhou Yi watched her leave and couldn't help sighing, "I wish I could be as brave as Ms. Lian."
