Bab 176: Foreign Familial Warmth

The next day, Li Chen woke up, determined to set aside the unsettling events of the previous night. In the living room, Sun Lixia, Zhang Mei, and Mu Lingling were already downstairs. Sun Lixia informed Li Chen, "Li Chen, your uncle said we should come to his house for fittings today."

Li Chen expressed his reservations, commenting, "I still think Uncle Weilong is overdoing things." Zhang Mei added, "The whole city is talking about this banquet." Li Chen, wary of the attention, remarked, "It's the attention that comes with it that I don't like." Sun Lixia, with a hint of humor, suggested, "Tell that to your uncle and grandfather." Laughter echoed through the room, and Zhang Mei's joy was evident, grateful that her mother appeared to be in better spirits. They enjoyed a pleasant breakfast together, savoring the camaraderie.

Soon, Sun Lixia and Li Chen left for Sun Weilong's house, ready to navigate the preparations for the upcoming banquet.
