As Qin Fang spoke, everyone was briefly stunned. Although they were unaware of the truth, Qin Fang's righteous demeanor hardly seemed like he was lying.

A hint of a smile also emerged in Tang Feifei's eyes, as at least Qin Fang's words convinced many that this must be the real truth.

As for whom Qin Fang referred to as "certain people," many had their suspicions.

The matter of Tang Feifei's marriage was taken very seriously by the Tang Family members; previously, many thought that Tang Feifei and Xu Ling were made for each other, childhood sweethearts who were to join two families into an even closer political alliance.

However, the patriarch was not willing to proceed in that manner. Tang Feifei's marriage was to be freely decided by herself without interference from others.

Like Tang Feifei's aunts and even her own mother, they had the right to introduce and recommend but could by no means insist upon it; the decision rested solely with Tang Feifei.

It was by this method that Tang Feifei chose Qin Fang instead of Xu Ling, whom many saw as the best candidate... and the relationship between Chen Shijie and Xu Ling didn't even need mentioning.

Among those who protested the most against Qin Fang's arrival in the capital was Chen Shijie himself...

Chen Shijie, Tang Feifei's cousin, was also a member of the Tang Family. He didn't dare go against Elder Tang's wishes, but his vociferous protest was undoubtedly a cheer for someone.

These matters were well known amongst the Tang Family Members. Some had good relations with the Xu Family and had also considered such a plan, but before they could act or speak, Chen Shijie had already run into trouble.

With what Qin Fang had just said, many felt there was a ring of truth to it.

"Are you serious?"

Even Tang Yonghong, looking at Qin Fang's earnest expression, couldn't help but ask reflexively... but by the time she realized what she'd asked, it was already too late, and she felt rather embarrassed.

"Aunt, you could call them again for inquiry. I think if you speak a little more sternly, those doctors should tell the truth..."

This turn of events was an unexpected boon for Qin Fang, who vaguely felt that Tang Yonghong might really have been deceived by someone. Given her protective nature, she was also the most easily provoked target, and Qin Fang gave her this advice. As for the specifics, Qin Fang believed Tang Yonghong knew far more than he did.

"Sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, elder sister, I'll be back in a moment..."

Tang Yonghong was clearly persuaded by Qin Fang's words, and with a quick notice, she hurried out with her small bag. Whether she was off to make a call or go directly to the hospital wasn't Qin Fang's concern.

"Alright, alright, everything has been explained... Xiao Qin, come here, this is all family. Let me introduce you to some..."

With matters having reached this point, Qin Fang's crisis seemed to be temporarily averted. Aunt Shen immediately stepped in to smooth things over and began introducing the Tang Family ladies to Qin Fang.

There weren't many people in the Tang Family. Basically, all the female relatives were present, including Feifei's two aunts and her eldest aunt, as well as a few sisters-in-law and cousins...

In no time, everyone had been introduced, and Qin Fang politely greeted them all, officially becoming acquainted with them.

The hustle had barely settled before the guests had almost all arrived. Tang Yongping and the second-generation Tang men returned from the entrance, and the third generation, like Tang Cheng, also entered the banquet hall, followed by an elderly man with white hair, yet still looking vigorous, who slowly walked up from the backstage.

Whoosh~~

Almost immediately upon the elderly man's appearance, everyone stood up, their eyes filled with unmistakable reverence as they watched the man who had weathered many storms and stood at the pinnacle of power...

"That's my grandfather..."

Tang Feifei murmured softly into Qin Fang's ear.

Qin Fang nodded gently. Even if Tang Feifei hadn't mentioned it, he knew that this old man must be Elder Tang, the guest of honor at today's banquet.

Elder Tang was nearly ninety years old, with white hair and a still vibrant spirit, walking with a steady gait. Although he was followed by several personal medical and security staff, they were merely accompanying, not supporting him.

"The effects of the Heart Nourishing Pill really are miraculous, grandpa's heart disease has completely recovered..."

Tang Feifei made sure to share this great news with Qin Fang, after all, it was his birthday gift, and the results now appeared to be outstanding...

"I'm delighted that everyone could come to give this old man their well-wishes, thank you very much! Please be seated..."

Having arrived at his seat, Elder Tang looked around at the faces, familiar and unfamiliar alike, expressing his gratitude uniformly, which made many people feel somewhat flustered.

With just a few words, Elder Tang declared the birthday banquet officially underway, and everyone sat down in turn...

Clearly, Qin Fang was not meant to sit with the Tang Family's women but was whisked away by Tang Cheng to join the table with the men of the third generation of the Tang Family.

The number of the Tang Family's own members was not very large, but when including in-laws and other relatives by marriage, the number was not small either.
