Days went by, one after another. The wedding was set for before the new year, since many relatives from the bride's side would be busy if it were held mid-year.

The day before the wedding, Lin Feng and his family flew to the private island. Fortunately, the private island had a helipad. In fact, it had three! They arrived in the morning, just in time for breakfast. As soon as they got off the plane, they all threw off their winter gear and changed into summer clothes. The wedding venue was already set up and looked absolutely beautiful.

"You're back!" Zhou Cuilan exclaimed as she came out and saw her eldest son and his family. "Have you had breakfast? I just made some porridge!"

The private island had a butler and maids, but Zhou Cuilan wasn't used to relying on them, preferring to do things herself whenever possible. Lin Dashan's stomach had been giving him some trouble for the past couple of years, so it needed careful attention. Every morning, Zhou Cuilan would make porridge for him. Knowing her son's family would return this morning, she had deliberately made extra and had been waiting for them since early.

She took Xiao Bao from Lin Feng's arms, cooing, "Oh, my goodness, my little treasure, how did you get so thin? Come on, say 'Grandma'!"

Xiao Bao obediently called out, "Grandma," delighting Zhou Cuilan to no end.

"Let's go, Grandma will feed Xiao Bao!"

Er Bao sidled up to her. "Grandma, don't you miss me?"

Zhou Cuilan smiled warmly. "Who said that? All of you are Grandma's treasures!"

Er Bao beamed. "Then I'm your biggest treasure!"

Zhou Cuilan's eyes crinkled as she laughed. "Yes, yes, you're my big treasure, and Xiao Bao is my little treasure!"

Er Bao loved to be doted on, seeking affection from her parents, paternal grandparents, and maternal grandparents alike.

Lin Dashan was also awake by now, his face lighting up when he saw his grandchildren. "You're here! How did Si Bao do in his competition this time?"

Si Bao patted his chest confidently. "A gold medal for sure. No question about it."

Lin Dashan nodded repeatedly. "Excellent, excellent!"

These days, there wasn't a single family in the upper echelons of Meicheng society who didn't know of the Lins. Both of his sons were successful, and his grandchildren were proving to be even more promising, surpassing the previous generation.

At my age, seeing my grandchildren all turning out so well is more than enough. No worries about myself, no concerns for future generations... my life is complete.

Lin Dashan and his wife had already agreed to take good care of their health, hoping to live long enough to see their great-grandchildren born.

While eating, Lin Feng discussed the wedding with Lin Dashan. "The bride's family has all arrived," he said. "The accommodations are completely full, a perfect fit."

Nearby, Zhou Cuilan was feeding Xiao Bao. "You must be tired from the last few days," she said. "Go get some more sleep after you've eaten. I'll wake you at noon."

The children insisted they weren't sleepy, having gotten plenty of rest on the plane. In fact, they were full of energy!

「Elsewhere.」

Wen Xiaoya was sharing a room with her close friends, who were also her bridesmaids. After arriving on the island, the group of young women had stayed up talking until the middle of the night. They all envied their friend for marrying so well. Even though Lin Jie couldn't compare to his older brother, being part of such a family, with such impressive direct relatives, was still wonderful. Besides, Lin Jie was handsome and capable, and the company he started had grown rapidly in just a few years. They believed that with time, he would achieve great things.

"Actually, I was quite surprised myself," Wen Xiaoya admitted. "Lin Jie never mentioned his family to me at all, just that their circumstances were average."

Bridesmaid A nodded. "You told us how he used to rent his own place and had a really tough time back then."

"Exactly," Wen Xiaoya added. "That's why I never doubted his words! Perhaps in his eyes, his family's circumstances really are just average."

Bridesmaid B said with a smile, "If you hadn't been so persistent and had just gone along with your parents' wishes, you two might never have ended up together."

"That's true! But I'm smart, you know. I recognized that Lin Jie is a decent guy with good qualities—a stock with major potential!"

Their relationship had begun with Wen Xiaoya actively pursuing Lin Jie. He was a student at Peking University, where he excelled academically. With his pleasant looks and great personality, many girls from well-to-do families had pursued him, but he had rejected them all. Wen Xiaoya, in terms of both looks and temperament, wasn't what Lin Jie pictured as his ideal partner. She only succeeded because she was persistent, eventually winning him over with her sincerity.

Back then, Lin Jie had thought... if my family doesn't approve, I'll just let this relationship go. Besides, Wen Xiaoya's parents don't really like me anyway. Parting ways might be for the best.

After talking all night, it was nearly noon by the time they all woke up. One of the friends went out and came back with news. "I heard Lin Jie's brother is back."

This mysterious brother, rumored to be both rich and handsome, had finally made an appearance. They were all eager to see what this legend looked like in person and just how handsome he really was.

"Let's go take a look!"

"Let's go!"

But it didn't feel right to just rush over, so they dragged Wen Xiaoya along with them.

With the quads—as well as the children of Lin Jiajun, Lin Rui, Jiang Anmin, and An Lan—all present, Lin Feng and his wife didn't need to look after Xiao Bao at all. Meanwhile, Zhang Yuxi had gone to a spa with Wang Lu, Sun Rou, Su Qiqi, and the others. This left Lin Feng with no choice but to find their husbands to hang out with by playing mahjong.

As he played, Lin Feng grumbled, "Why are we playing mahjong? Wouldn't cards be better?"

"Play cards? What for?" one of them shot back, likely the biggest loser from their last game. "You can count cards! We'd be playing for nothing!"

"Exactly! We can't afford to throw money away against a tycoon like you! Mahjong is way more chill."

"Yeah, right! Let's see you try and count these tiles!"

Lin Feng just laughed. To be honest, I'm not very good at mahjong anyway. Winning isn't the point; it's just for fun.

Following the sounds of the game, Wen Xiaoya and her friends found them. The area was filled with men; it wasn't just Lin Feng's mahjong table, but also Lin Dashan, Lin Dahu, Lin Daan, and others. So, they could only watch from a distance, as it was inconvenient to get any closer.

"Is it that handsome one? The man who looks great when he smiles?" one of them whispered.

Compared to the portly, middle-aged men around him, Lin Feng stood out like a crane among chickens. There was no need to guess.

Wen Xiaoya nodded. "That's him."

My future brother-in-law!

Her friends were stunned. The man was far too handsome. Not only that, but he was also rich! Damn it, he had it all!

Wen Xiaoya stopped them. "Alright, stop drooling over him. He's going to be my brother-in-law, you know?"

Her friends snickered. "We know, we know. We won't try anything, relax!"

"Exactly! Is it a crime to just look at a handsome guy?"

"What, are you afraid one of us might become your sister-in-law?"

Wen Xiaoya wasn't the least bit amused by their jokes. "In your dreams! Become my sister-in-law? Have you seen how beautiful my actual sister-in-law is? Heh!" she scoffed. "As far as I know, their relationship is incredibly strong. In all these years, I've never heard of Lin Feng doing anything wrong! Plus, he's basically a stay-at-home dad! His main job is taking care of the kids, from the quads all the way down to Xiao Bao!"

"Heh. And you think you have a chance?"

At this, her friends felt even more bitter. Damn it, it seemed good men were completely out of their league! So frustrating!

Wen Xiaoya waved them away. "Come on, let's go, we've got things to do... Speaking of which, let's talk about how much gift money you all plan on giving me!"
