"Something did happen," Song Yan's voice darkened a bit when she remembered what happened in the Chen residence but she thought that it was better that way at least now she knew that the Chen sisters were not as strong as she thought they were she was at ease if Gu Chenyi's skills can take them down then so can hers.

Seeing that Song Yan's mood was low, Fu Yu Sheng did not ask anything any further instead he opened his mouth and then said in a low voice, " I tracked down the son of the Nian family." His words caused Song Yan to snap her head in surprise to which Fu Yu Sheng nodded and said, " It took a lot of time for me to convince him, he was terrified of the notion to see those two women again but somehow I made him agree to attend the banquet of Old Master Yan's birthday."

When she heard that the Nian family's son will be attending Old Master Yan's birthday, Song Yan's lips could not help but twitch a little as she said, " The poor old Master Yan is going to receive the shock of his life."

...

Time flew and the day of Old Master Yan's birthday arrived.

The Yan family did not want to make a huge fuss after something so solemn happened they only booked a hotel which was luxurious but low-key and invited almost everyone in the military district, they wanted to ignore the Chen family altogether but they could not ignore Researcher Cui and his family which was why they invited Researcher Cui and his family but who would have expected that the Chen family will cling onto the Cui Deming who ignored his uncle's warning and threats and came to the banquet together with his uncle.

It was wrong to say that he came to the banquet with his uncle, it was more right to say that he morally kidnapped his uncle by arriving at the hotel where the banquet was being held and then refused to leave saying all sorts of things which made Researcher Cui annoyed.

" Uncle, I know that you are angry with me but I have already married Chen Chu Chu and our marriage is set in stone. Chu Chu is now our family member, how can you ignore her like this? Also, no one can prove that Chu Chu was the one who was behind what happened in the Chen family's residence most probably that traitor Chen Mingshen was behind this matter, why are you getting angry with Chu Chu ?"

Though Cui Deming could see that his uncle was getting angry, he still wanted to show his uncle that his wife was gentle and sensible. He was increasingly pleased with Chen Chu Chu and wanted his uncle to accept Chen Chu Chu as well.

Researcher Cui was furious, he was angry enough that Cui Deming made a fuss outside and was now trying to clear Chen Chu Chu's name, he could not help but flare up at his nephew, " Shut up! You wanted to bring the Chen family inside the banquet by using my name and you succeeded what else do you want? Stop blabbering and making a fuss, I have already said that I don't care what you do, go and die in her embrace for all I care but stop lumping our family!"

With that, he turned around and went to apologise to the Yan family who was not at all happy with the arrival of the Chen family. Especially, Old madam Chen who guarded her pregnant daughter-in-law like an old hen who was afraid of getting her egg stolen.

Song Yan was standing next to Xiao Mei while looking at the Chen sisters who were acting as if they were stuck between a rock and a hard place, she did not say anything and then turned to look at Fu Yu Sheng and then said, " I am feeling a bit sick.. I will be leaving for the restroom, you take care of here."

From the morning she was waiting for the Chen sisters to arrive since she knew that they will not miss the chance to act solicitously what was more she asked Ning Ying to invite Chen Xi, thus there was no reason for these two sisters to not turn up.

Fu Yu Sheng knew what Song Yan meant by taking care, he nodded and then turned his gaze to the Chen sisters just as Ning Ying came to invite Chen Xi inside the banquet hall while Song Yan snuck out of the hotel heading straight to the Chen residence.

The Chen family was already in the hotel lobby which was why neither of the Yan family members could kick them out but that did not mean that Yan Guo was any less alert he sensed the poisonous gazes which were locked on his sister-in-law from afar and could not help but warn his big brother.

" Big brother, don't leave sister-in-law's side no matter what, if she has to go to the restroom have someone accompany her," he told his brother which caused Yan Bao to frown in worry as he asked, " But whom will I call, mother is old she cannot fend those things, hell even I can't.."

" I will do it," just as the two brothers were worrying about whom to ask, they heard a voice and turned to look at Hu Ya who was raising her hand and smiling at them as she volunteered to take on the responsibility of staying next to Xiao Mei all the time.

" Miss Hu," Yan Guo felt a bit awkward when he heard Hu Ya volunteer, they had no relation why would she help them? Maybe Hu Ya also knew what was going on in his head because a second later she said with a smile, " Think of it as me trying to return the favour which I owe you."

Though she said it like that no one missed the infatuated gaze of her with which she looked at Yan Guo.

Yan Bao: "..." Should I thank my sister-in-law Yan for making spring bloom in my brother's life?

...

On the other hand, Song Yan who was looking at the lucky portrait which was hidden behind the Buddha hand's portrait had no idea that something like this took place at the hotel where the banquet was being held, instead, she bit her thumb and then started drawing an array on the surface of the lucky portrait causing it to bubble and forth as blood started to ooze out of it, the more she intricate the array became the more the portrait started to burn and one after another the colours which were filling the canvas started to get burned turning into black spots which looked ugly upon looking.

And just as Song Yan took out another talisman to stick on the surface of the canvas she felt a whoosh behind her and turned around on her heels before whipping her long golden whip which hooked itself around the ankle of Hei An De who pounced on her and smirked coldly, " I got you."
