"Hello everyone, I hope I am not disturbing the air of happiness here." Zhang Xiaotong greeted with a charming smile. Then flaunting her elegant walk, she got inside the hall room matching everyone's gaze with appreciation. She was dressed in a blueish white, lace dress which looked a bit high on her shoulders and flowed until down her knees, perfectly accentuating her smart, confident stature.

Her eyes matched with everyone around, making them reciprocate to her before finally stopping at Feng Yu Hao in the middle of the room. "Uncle Feng! It's been so long since I last saw you but you still look the same. All handsome and charming as always." She said and the moment she finished someone broke in a chuckle at the front. 

Her eyes trailed to look at the young boy who was clearly laughing at her words. Her brows wrinkled as feigning all easiness in her demeanor, she asked walking more inside the room, "Did I say something wrong, Little b…?" 

"You can call me Chen Yuchen, Miss." Before the woman could call him little boy, Chen Yuchen interrupted to say. "And you did say something that made me laugh. And I have learned from my elders that we should never hide what we feel inside, so I didn't stop my laughter." He said and the accent of his tone was enough to reveal the title he held with his name. 

Knowing who the little boy could be, Zhang Xiaotong's smile grew again as taking all the interest, she asked bending a bit forward towards the boy. "That's a good habit to keep. But may I know how I said something that made you chuckle like that?" 

Chen Yuchen turned to look at his grandfather before again turning back to look at the woman to say, "It has been eleven years since I am seeing Lǎoyé. Every year he looks a bit aged to me. Then how did he still look the same as when you last looked at him? Did you see him just a few days back?" He asked, logically reasoning his words and his words like that only put the woman in the tough spot. 

Her words were clearly intended to butter up the Old Master, but what she never thought was that it would be pointed out like that in front of everyone. So, when Chen Yuchen said it, she felt a bit embarrassed. She smiled with some awkwardness before reasoning her words from before. "Haha … those were not representing the literal meaning, Yuchen, instead what I meant to say was about the memories that I held of Uncle Feng in my heart. In those memories, he is still all same." 

She said and Yuchen was about to retaliate again but before he could, a glare from his mother came to warn him about his words. And pursing his lips, he could just maintain the silence, but not before he murmured under his breath. 'Hmph. Why do elders have to lie every time?'

"Yuchen, behave!" Being the elder brother, Chen Yujian said before giving a curious look towards the woman. This was his first time seeing her, but something in his sixth sense was warning her about her personality. 

Once the young boy was silent, Zhang Xiaotong looked back at the Old Master, who has still remained all silent to her previous greeting. "Uncle Feng, are you not happy to see me here?" She asked, breaking into a soft smile that was potentially covering the irk she was feeling inside her heart, seeing the unwelcoming expression of the man. 

"Zhang Xiaotong, it's not like that. It's just that this gathering was just meant for the family and we were not expecting to see you here today." He said before turning to look at his Third Brother, who had clearly not informed anything about the appearance of the girl. 

Feeling the gaze on himself, Feng Da Zhong stood up clapping his hands with mild appreciation. "Haha … Elder Brother, can you believe it; I was not able to recognize Xiaotong? See how beautiful she has grown in all these years? I bet later when Shufen would meet her, he would not be able to take his eyes off her." 

He said completely manipulating the gaze with which Feng Yu Hao was looking at him. And at such a clear attempt of ignorance, Feng Yiran simply could not turn a blind eye to the happenings. Her brows raised in amusement while her lips curled on one corner as she stared at her Third Uncle, all surprised by his intention. 

But what shocked her about the scenario was that even after so many years of Shufen around, how did her Third Uncle even think that he could be able to attend the success in whatever he was planning? Especially after the evidence that Shufen displayed the last time. 

Feng Yu Hao's finger's clenched at his brother's ignorance, but before he could say anything, Zhen Qinrou from the side interrupted to calm him down, "Yu Hao, don't lose it over such a small thing. Furthermore, it's just a gathering. Her appearance here won't make a change. Also, we can't forget about the friendship we hold with the Zhengs. It won't look nice if we don't welcome their daughter." 

She said, and feeling her words right to some extent, Feng Yu Hao could only endure for the time being. But internally, he has already made sure that once this gathering gets over, he would make sure to ask about it well from Feng Da Zhong. 

Seeing Feng Yu Hao's expression turning favorable after talking to Zhen Qinrou, Zhang Xiaotong felt satisfied inside. Previously, she has heard from her mother about the deal she has cracked with the lady of the house. And seeing Zhen Qinrou's words affecting the mood of the old man, she was already getting confident about getting her goal, Feng Shufen soon.

Still, pretending to be a bit hurt, Zhang Xioatong thought to play her card, "Ahh, I am sorry. Uncle Feng is right. Since this is a family gathering, it's not good for me to be here. I will leave first. I apologize for my intrusion." She said, all ready to leave. 

But as if he had already guessed her plan, Feng Da Zhong supported. "What are you saying, Xiaotong? A few days back we also attended a gathering that your family organized. We were invited since your parents considered us friends. And aren't friends considered as one of the family? Don't leave like this. It might affect the relationship between two families. Am I saying anything wrong Elder Brother?" 

He said before turning to look at Feng Yu Hao from a distance. There were more words that he has kept ready to defend his stance of inviting Zhang Xiaotong here. But before he could present them all, a voice from the entrance interrupted to ask. 

"How are you not wrong to invite her here, Third Uncle? Wasn't this a family gathering planned between just our Feng family members? How come after so many years I still do not remember Zhangs becoming one of us?" Feng Yi Lan asked as standing at the entrance, she folded her arms over her chest.
