Han Baiying decided to wait before asking about the situation. With so many people watching, she quickly said, "It's fine, it's fine. Everyone, please disperse. I've invited a band, so let's all head to the dance floor."
As the crowd dispersed, the lively atmosphere returned, but many were still curious about Jiang Chen's background. After all, it was unusual for both Lin Rumei and Liu Toukang to treat him with such respect; he must be someone significant.
Originally, the stars of the evening were Liu Jiyue and Li Xiyun, but now, without doing anything at all, Jiang Chen had unknowingly 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 treated Jiang Chen with such courtesy and respect.
Li Xiyun accompanied Liu Jiyue in hosting the guests. On what should have been a joyous day, Li Xiyun felt no happiness at all; her smile was bitter and forced.
Over an hour later, as the engagement banquet neared its end, people began to leave one after another. As a guest invited by Lin Rumei, Jiang Chen naturally left with her.
"Steward, please arrange for cars to take Xiyun's relatives 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 the others left for the hotel, only the Liu Family remained in the Liu Family Villa. Han Baiying called her two sons into the room to ask about what had happened earlier with Liu Toukang and why he was so respectful towards Jiang Chen.
Liu Toukang then recounted in detail what had happened last year with the Golden Triangle. Both Han Baiying and Liu Jiyue were astonished after hearing it all.
"I see! No wonder things have been so easy with the Golden Triangle this year; it turns out Jiang Chen eliminated Kunshan Group and scared off some major competitors. But if he says he won't have any dealings with the Golden Triangle, how would he know if we do?" Han Baiying said.
"Exactly, brother. Even if he knows we continue to deal with the Golden Triangle, what can he do? Are we really afraid of him? If he knows what's good for him, we can just give him some money tomorrow to send him on his way. 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? Today we also saw how respectful Lin Rumei was towards him," Liu Toukang pointed out.
"A young man—no matter how talented in martial arts—can't be that impressive. Is he really the only expert in this world? We have martial arts experts on Hong Kong Island too; we could ask Elder Liang to step in," Han Baiying suggested.
"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 Gu Yun Nan—Master Gu?" Han Baiying asked.
"Isn't Master Gu already out of touch with worldly affairs?" Liu Toukang replied in surprise.
"Master Gu may not be involved anymore, but we can invite Master Gu's top disciple Jia Xingliang—Master Jia. I met with Master Jia a few days ago and expressed our intention to have him as a patron for our family. Master Jia's magical abilities are truly extraordinary; martial arts have always been inferior to feng shui and metaphysics. Elder Liang once said that his martial arts skills were nothing against Master Jia's magical prowess," Han Baiying explained.
