Chapter 424 An Family Banquet (3)
However, the darkness and abuse that Ling Shuang endured was deeply etched in her heart, completely distorting her outlook on life. After her return, with Gu Yelin’s permission, Ling Shuang secretly trained with "Red Thorn" for some time and then, armed with formidable skills, set out on her path of vengeance.
Upon hearing Ling Shuang’s story, An Yiqing couldn’t help but sigh. It’s said that human emotions are flimsier than paper; in this world, human hearts are malicious, and for some people, even family kinship is merely a bargaining chip for their interests.
For this reason, she felt grateful that, despite being away from home for nineteen years, she’d met a master who treated her as his own, and nineteen years later, she had returned to her family.
...
Around five in the evening at the Xuanjin Grand Hotel’s second-floor banquet hall, the welcome-back party for the Daughter of the An Family was to be held here tonight.
At this moment, the banquet hall was dazzling with lights. To match the theme and the protagonist’s identity, An Zisheng and his sons An Zhihang and An Zhiyan had specially transformed the entire style into an array of fresh whites and vibrant reds.
At the entrance of the banquet hall, there was a homey photograph of An Yiqing on display. The girl was wearing a snow-white long dress, looking up towards the window, her incomparably beautiful face calm and warm, exuding peace and warmth.
Inside the banquet hall, the freshest white lilies and blue enchantress flowers were clustered together, sending out a refreshing fragrance. As the guests arrived and stepped into the banquet hall, they felt as if they were amidst a sea of flowers, which delighted their spirits.
Seeing the dew still on the flowers, everyone couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration— the An Family had indeed spent a pretty penny on the banquet!
By five-thirty, people gradually filled the banquet hall.
