Han Baiying decided to wait before asking about the situation. With so many people watching, she quickly said, "It's nothing, it's nothing. Everyone, please disperse. I've invited a band; let's go to the dance floor and enjoy ourselves."
As the crowd scattered, the atmosphere in the venue returned to its lively state. However, many were curious about Jiang Chen's background. After all, it was unusual for both Lin Rumei and Liu Toukang to treat him with such courtesy. Originally, the stars of the evening were supposed to be Liu Jiyue and Li Xiyun, but now, without doing anything at all, Jiang Chen had inadvertently become the center of attention.
Seeing Liu Toukang being so cautious around Jiang Chen, as if afraid of offending him, left the bride's family feeling frustrated. The Liu Family looked down on them but showed great respect towards Jiang Chen.
Li Xiyun accompanied Liu Jiyue in hosting the guests. On such a joyous occasion, she should have been happy, but instead, she felt no joy at all; her smile was bitter and forced.
Over an hour later, as the engagement banquet neared its end, guests began to leave in droves. As a guest invited by Lin Rumei, Jiang Chen naturally left with her.
"Steward, please arrange for cars to take Xiyun's friends and family back to the hotel," Han Baiying instructed.
"Auntie, I should head back too," Li Xiyun said.
"Alright, you go ahead. Jiyue, you stay," Han Baiying replied.
After Li Xiyun and her group departed for the hotel, only the Liu Family remained in the Liu Family Villa. Han Baiying called her two sons into the room and asked Liu Toukang what had happened earlier that made him treat Jiang Chen with such respect.
Liu Toukang then recounted last year's events involving the Golden Triangle in detail. Both Han Baiying and Liu Jiyue were taken aback by what they heard.
"So that's how it is! No wonder things have been so easy with the Golden Triangle this year; it's because Jiang Chen, this Martial Arts Expert, wiped out the Kunshan Group and scared off some major competitors. But if he says he won't have any dealings with the Golden Triangle anymore, how would he know if we do?" Han Baiying said.
"Exactly! Even if he knows we're still in contact with the Golden Triangle, what can he do? Are we really afraid of him? If he knows what's good for him, he should just take some money and leave us alone. If he asks for too much, we can simply ignore him," Liu Jiyue said dismissively.
"Mom, Jiyue, you haven't seen Mr. Jiang in action; his strength is truly terrifying. Otherwise, why would the Lin family not dare to contact the Golden Triangle again? We saw today how respectful Lin Rumei was towards him," Liu Toukang pointed out.
"He's just a young man; even if he's a martial arts genius, how impressive can he be? Are there no other experts in this world? We have Martial Arts Experts on Hong Kong Island too; we can invite Elder Liang to handle it," Han Baiying replied.
"Elder Liang might not be a match for Mr. Jiang," Liu Toukang said with some concern.
"If Elder Liang won't do, then what about Master Gu?" Han Baiying suggested.
"Isn't Master Gu already out of touch with worldly affairs?" Liu Toukang was slightly taken aback.
"Master Gu may have distanced himself from worldly matters, but we can invite Master Gu's top disciple Jia Xingliang. I met with Master Jia a few days ago and expressed our intention to have him serve as a patron for our family. Master Jia's skills are truly extraordinary; martial arts cannot compare to his mastery of feng shui and metaphysics. Elder Liang once mentioned that his martial arts prowess would be utterly insignificant against Master Jia's abilities," Han Baiying explained.
