He just sat here.

Did anyone dare to kick him out?

No!

Did anyone dare to do anything to him?

No!

Did anyone dare to drink alcohol, eat meat, and sing songs loudly?

Of course not.

At this age, casually mentioning that he felt pain here or discomfort there, Chen Fang's official rank could be jeopardized.

Some people really could do whatever they wanted.

Just like him, saying he wouldn't allow Chen Fang's wedding to go on, he really could make it happen.

This was the strength and oppressive aura of a bigwig.

The usually quick-witted Chen Fang was now out of tricks.

Because whatever clever little schemes might work on others, none applied to Hou Jidao.

Just when everyone was at a loss.

A voice rang out.

"Old Hou, at your age, why must you be so harsh with the younger folks? If word gets out, wouldn't the Hou Family lose all its face in Yuanjing?"

Chen Fang looked over.

The weight on his heart immediately lifted.

At the entrance, an old man in a wheelchair appeared.

It was none other than Xu Mao.

Xu Mao's wheelchair was being pushed by Xu Yan.

Beside the wheelchair was another old man, Dong Fuzhong, and following him was a little girl, Dong Youying.

As the two of them appeared.

The crowd once again let out a gasp of astonishment.

This wedding was well worth attending.

The patriarchs of the three great families of Yuanjing had the chance to gather together, and that too in Wulan City, far from Yuanjing.

Wouldn't you say it was quite the spectacle?

"Xu is right, Old Hou. What's your status, and what's Chen Fang's status? There's an old saying, a temple may be demolished, but not a marriage. This act of yours, it's somewhat disgraceful," Dong Fuzhong said with a cold laugh.

If it was said that in Jiangdong Province, there was no one who could faze Hou Jidao.

Then the appearance of these two old geezers made Hou Jidao somewhat unsettled.

He asked, "How come you two are here?"

Xu Mao replied, "Listen to you; if Old Hou can come out and about, can't we two move around? Besides, our families have quite the history with Chen Fang. Attending his wedding is only reasonable."

That statement from Xu Mao.

Had a strong hint of bias.

It was a signal being sent to Hou Jidao.

He meant to tell Hou Jidao that the Xu Family had Chen Fang's back.

Dong Fuzhong was no less supportive.

He said, "The Xu and Dong families resolved their feud thanks to this kid Chen Fang. We, as human beings, must have a conscience. Coming to congratulate him on his big day is also fitting..."

That statement.

Had a similar protective tone.

The three major families of Yuanjing had their collaborations, but also their confrontations.

Over the years, Hou Jidao had been secretly stirring up discord between the two families, taking the chance to strengthen the Hou Family.

Seeing these two families suddenly coming together to stand up for Chen Fang.

Made him uncomfortable beyond words.

Although combined, their strength still couldn't match the Hou Family, if it came to a serious conflict, the Hou Family would also suffer heavy losses, with no benefit at all.

"You two, are you sure you want to stand up for Chen Fang?" Hou Jidao asked.

Xu Mao laughed heartily.

He said, "It's not about standing up for him, but we owe Chen Fang a favor, and when the time comes to repay it, we won't hesitate."

Dong Fuzhong also added, "Xu's right, in this world, the one thing you can't owe is a favor, because repaying it could really cost you your life."

Though the words sounded ordinary.

But their resolute attitudes were something Hou Jidao could clearly discern.

He had intended to use his intimidation to disrupt Chen Fang's wedding. However, once these two old fellows showed up, any further petulance on his part would only serve as a laughing stock.

For a moment, he struggled to maintain his dignity.

He turned and glared fiercely at Chen Fang.

He said, "Kid, you sure have some clout, getting these two old families to back you up. You think you're something special, huh? Fine, I'll remember this. We'll settle this score slowly."

After uttering these words,

Hou Jidao said, "Yuanshu, Jingjing, let's go!"

"Dad..."

Hou Yuanshu clearly wasn't ready to let it go.

But a single look from Hou Jidao,

left him no choice but to dejectedly follow behind his father.

"Old Hou, Old Hou, wait for me..."

Zhu Hanmin, seeing the situation was irreversible, had no face to stay, and scurried after him...

With this group gone,

the atmosphere on-site immediately relaxed.

The guests gradually returned to their seats.

Chen Fang hurriedly approached Xu Mao and Dong Fuzhong with delight and said, "You two, how did you come?"

Xu Mao smiled.

He turned to glance at Xu Yan.

He said, "If anyone else had invited me, I definitely wouldn't have come. But since she asked me, I just had to, didn't I? Don't thank me, thank her."

Chen Fang looked at Xu Yan.

Xu Yan, slightly embarrassed,

scratched her head and said, "You don't need to thank me either. It was Jingjing who called me, saying her dad was going to Wulan City to cause trouble for you and told me to think of a way out, so I asked my dad for help."

"Hou Jingjing?"

Chen Fang asked in surprise.

Xu Yan laughed and said, "You lad, you sure know how to attract women. Even Hou Jingjing is secretly helping you. That's not something just anyone can manage."

Chen Fang scratched his head awkwardly

and turned to Dong Fuzhong.

Dong Fuzhong immediately extended his hand.

He said, "You don't have to thank me either. It was Old Xu who told me there was a feast, so I just came along. It beats staying bored at home anyway, and a little outing isn't so bad, right, kiddo?"

Dong Fuzhong said to Dong Youying.

Dong Youying nodded repeatedly and said, "Alright, the wedding is about to start. Let's quickly find a place to sit."

"Hahaha..."

Everyone erupted into laughter.

Chen Fang quickly led them to a table in the center and they sat down.

All the troubles had been resolved.

Today's wedding banquet was an eye-opener for everyone.

A wedding ceremony that had so many big shots show up—apart from Chen Fang, whose wedding could boast such a scene?

Beyond having big shots in attendance.

After the ceremony, the wedding banquet reached its climax.

Top star Qi Kexin came to perform, drawing rounds of cheers.

"Ah Fang, did you already know these people were going to show up?"

As the banquet progressed past halfway,

Yu Zhengchuan, slightly tipsy, pulled Chen Fang aside and whispered.

"Why do you ask?" Chen Fang replied.

Yu Zhengchuan chuckled mischievously and said, "Do you remember before the wedding, you told me that sometimes we have to flex our muscles so others don't think we're easy targets? Don't tell me you were completely unaware of them coming."

"Hahaha..."

Chen Fang laughed.

He said, "The Hou Family has been outsmarted by me time and again, which favors the Xu and Dong families the most. Coming here to support me is also to prevent the Hou Family from suppressing me. As long as I'm around, it saves the Xu and Dong families a lot of trouble, so their attendance was within my expectations."

Yu Zhengchuan nodded as if he understood but didn't quite grasp the concept, then asked, "So you're saying the bit about Hou Jingjing calling Xu Yan was made up? Why would they give credit for the favor to Hou Jingjing?"
