Everyone's gaze collectively turned toward the elderly grandma.

Joining the "adventure group" would truly bring the Xu family even closer to prestige!

The initial purpose of the adventure group was due to the younger generation of the families indulging in too much luxury and debauchery, causing worries that they would become useless in the future. Thus, to strengthen their courage, will, and other qualities, they were sent to climb wild mountains and traverse valleys.

As time went on, it gradually evolved into an activity for establishing close connections between the younger generations of the major families.

Joining the adventure group.

Firstly, it meant acquiring more connections!

Secondly, it symbolized honor!

Only those families that were invited, besides the three major families, were the most influential in Lake City.

The Xu family was just at the bottom of the third-tier families, and the adventure group only invited members from seven third-tier families; they had never been invited before.

If they could be invited this time, it would mean the Xu family had suddenly jumped into the top seven of the third-tier families!

Maybe they'd even be first!

Therefore.

People one after another were exceptionally excited, their faces filled with anticipation as they looked at the elderly grandma.

"That's correct."

The elderly grandma laughed smugly, "As you all think, our Xu family has also been invited!"

As soon as these words were spoken.

The stone that everyone had in their hearts finally fell to the ground.

"That's great!"

"Our Xu family, from now on in Lake City, we'll also be people of status and influence!"

"..."

The elderly grandma was also uncontrollably happy, raising her hand to quiet everyone down before saying, "This time, the adventure group has given our Xu family two spots!"

"Two spots? That's fantastic!"

People rubbed their hands together in eager anticipation, waiting for the elderly grandma to make the announcement.

Although most knew that such a precious opportunity wouldn't come to them, they still hoped in their hearts—what if a miracle happened?

"The first spot, naturally, is... Yunxiao."

The elderly grandma looked at Xu Yunxiao.

Actually, she was also quite helpless.

It was obvious to everyone that the adventure group's invitation to the Xu family this year was due to the Xu family's collaboration with Haohan Company.

As a partner, Xu Yunxiao had to be present.

Originally, they hoped today the partner would become Xu Changjian, but that wish had fallen through.

When Xu Yunxiao heard her name, she also secretly rejoiced in her heart.

She had naturally heard of the adventure group.

Joining the adventure group meant gaining more connections, which would be of great help for future developments—it was a rare opportunity!

"Grandma, I will definitely work hard!"

Xu Yunxiao said.

The elderly grandma then announced the second spot, her kindly gaze turned to Xu Changjian, and said, "Jian'er, you will represent our Xu family and attend!"

"Him?"

Qin Feng spread his hands, "During the fruit evasion incident, he caused the Xu family to lose face completely. Aren't you embarrassed to let him go?"

"Damn it, you still dare to bring that up, don't you?"

Xu Changjian was filled with rage.

The elderly grandma told him to be quiet, then said, "Among the young generation of the Xu family, Jian'er is the most capable. Moreover, the reason why the adventure group invited us is related to the birthday banquet we held at Wanfu Building, showing them the bright future of our Xu family. Plus, he was also the one who booked the banquet hall at Wanfu Building through his connections, so he has contributed."

"Yes, yes, Brother Jian should go."

Others echoed.

Everyone present wasn't dumb; they all saw how much the elderly grandma favored Xu Changjian.

Even after the incident with the evading fruit, the elderly grandma had only punished him symbolically.

"Alright, it's settled then. Dismissed!"

The elderly grandma declared.

Everyone was beaming with joy, except for Xu Yaxin, whose expression was gloomy. She looked at Xu Yunxiao's retreating figure, filled with resentment.

According to the original plan.

Xu Yunxiao would fall seriously ill, Xu Changjian would take over Shuimu Company, and she would take back her own company.

Then the adventure group's spot was designated for Xu Changjian and her.

Who knew.

Xu Changjian's poison was actually ineffective! Alwаys rеаd аt thе sоurсе—

"Hmph, I don't believe I can't move you, you'll be doomed sooner or later!" Xu Yaxin gritted her teeth in secret, her eyes filled with jealousy.

...

In the car.

While driving, Xu Yunxiao asked Qin Feng, "Do you want to come with me? I heard a family member can be brought along."

"Oh?"

Qin Feng looked at her in surprise.

Xu Yunxiao's face turned slightly red and she rolled her eyes at him: "What are you looking at!"

"My wife is just so beautiful!"

Qin Feng said playfully.

It must be said, she looked super pretty when her face blushed, like a freshly bloomed pink petal.

"Say, are you going or not!"

"Going, when the wife commands, of course I must obey!"

"That's more like it."

Xu Yunxiao said.

In the past, she never asked Qin Feng to attend such occasions.

This time she was a bit nervous.

After all, it was the first time she was invited by the adventure group, and the people she'd meet had a higher status than the Xu family in Lake City.

So she thought of bringing Qin Feng along.

For some reason.

Even though he was just a waiter at Wanfu Building, a useless son-in-law.

But with him by her side, she inexplicably felt at ease.

At this moment.

Qin Feng's cell phone rang, it was Xu Hu calling.

Xu Hu, one of the few phone numbers Qin Feng had saved in his mobile, was his high school classmate, his close buddy.

Once, when a group was trying to beat up Qin Feng in the toilet, Xu Hu, not knowing Qin Feng was tough, stepped in with a brick and started throwing it into the crowd, single-handedly taking on more than a dozen people; although he lost the battle, Qin Feng saw him as a person to make friends with.

However, after graduating from high school, they gradually lost contact.

But Qin Feng had always kept the bond of high school friendship, brotherhood, in his heart, and valued this friend.

"Hu Zi, long time no see, what made you think of calling me?"

Qin Feng said with a smile.

"Brother Feng, it really is you, that's great, I've been wanting to get in touch with you for years, but you changed your number a long time ago, and if it weren't for a classmate mentioning you a few days ago, I wouldn't have known you were in Lake City!"

Xu Hu was also very happy to hear Qin Feng's voice.

"You were talking about me?"

Qin Feng was puzzled.

He hadn't interacted with any classmates after graduation.

"Yeah! Tonight we have a class reunion, in the WeChat group, our class's beauty, Li Qian, mentioned you, she said you... said you... not only became a live-in son-in-law but also, also... are having quite a hard time?"

"Yes, that's right."

Qin Feng smiled.

He recalled seeing Li Qian a few days ago at the Cloud Peak sales office, and then being slapped by Feng Guoqiang, leading to him losing his job.

It must be her slandering him all over the place!

"Regardless, we are still good brothers!" Xu Hu said, "Will you come to the class reunion tonight? Oh right, I forgot to tell you, Jiang Yuexin is also coming, do you remember Jiang Yuexin? She's a big star now, very famous!"

"Okay."

Qin Feng replied crisply.

"Haha, I knew as soon as I mentioned her, you would come, even though you've always been aloof and never participated in class activities, no man would refuse the chance to meet a beautiful star, haha... but I remind you, she's not someone we ordinary folks can think about, just look from a distance when the time comes."

Xu Hu laughed.

"..."

Qin Feng was speechless.

His reply was so straightforward, purely because of Xu Hu's invitation.

How could he not accept a brother's invitation?
