Chapter 523: 333 Recognizing Relatives: Fifth Master struggles to survive in a tight spot, Third

Master Fu is hard to serve (3 more updates)

Tang Wan originally thought that the family banquet would only be attended by Zhou Zhongqing’s

colleagues and friends from the hospital, just a simple meal, but she was stunned when she saw the

guests arriving one after the other.

Over the years, he had treated many people, sof whom becfriends after a long

association, while others were grateful to him.

In one’s life, who doesn’t have minor illnesses or pains? Everyone deeply respects doctors.

Before this, Tang Wan could never have imagined that Zhou Zhongqing had such extensive

connections in Beijing.

The attendees of the family banquet cfrom all walks of life, ordinary citizens, high-ranking

officials, and naturally sfrom prominent families in Beijing. Tang Wan was today’s main

character; everyone was there for her, and Zhou Zhonggqing, holding her hand, naturally wanted to

meet each one of them and greet them.

There were too many people, and Tang Wan had met so many that she might not recognize them

upon meeting again.

Until she saw a man so pale that he almost glowed...

"Wanwan, letintroduce you. This is Duan Linbai. You might have seen him online. Lin Bai, this is

my goddaughter, Tang Wan," Zhou Zhongqing said with a smile as he introduced the two.

"We have met before, but I’'m not sure if Miss Tang remembers me," Duan Linbai said with a smile.

The man was too handsome, his smirk containing a hint of wickedness, making one feel wary at his

first smile, and most importantly, he was Qi Zeyan’s arch-enemy. They had even confronted each

other in front of her, leaving a deep impression on Tang Wan.

"| remember." But Tang Wan'’s gaze quickly shifted to another man by her side.

This man, in comparison, was much more low-key, especially since Duan Linbai blocked most of the light, casting

his face into alternating shadows and light, nearly divine yet demonic, seemingly cold yet elegant, with a hint of

melancholic charm...

Considering his age, he carried himself with great presence, wearing a black robe with Buddha Beads on his

wrist. However, the pendant hanging from it appeared to be made of hibiscus stone, yet the craftsmanship was

quite rough, which didn’t seem to suit him.

"This is Fu Chen—Fu San Ye (Third Master Fu)," Zhou Zhongqing introduced them.

The youngest of Elder Fu’s children, known as Third Master... Fu Chen?

He indeed looked very young.

"Hello, Third Master," she greeted him politely.

"Congratulations, my father and mother could not come, but they have prepared a gift and specifically asked me

to deliver it. They said they will personally attend Miss Tang's wedding in the future to offer their

congratulations."

The man’s gaze swept over Tang Wan briefly without lingering, indicating he was not easy to get along with.

"Old Master Fu and the Old Madam are too polite. I'm very happy that you could come... Ah—Old Zheng, you're

here!" Zhou Zhongging suddenly noticed an old friend. "Wanwan, could you excuse me?" he said and then went

to embrace his friend.

Tang Wan coughed lightly, not knowing what else to say, and asked the two men to sit at a side. The silence on

the way there was a bit awkward...

She suddenly remembered that during a previous engagement ceremony, Master Qiao had congratulated her,

mentioning that his niece was dating this Third Master Fu. Tang Wan cleared her throat.

"I heard you and Song Fengwan are boyfriend and girlfriend?"

Fu Chen glanced at her briefly and remained silent, which served as confirmation.

"Speaking of which, | know her too, but it has been a long tsince we last contacted..."

The other person didn’t speak, making Tang Wan feel awkward. After asking them to sit down, she quickly left.

After she left, someone nudged Fu Chen's arm, "Third Master, even though she is Dr. Zhou’s goddaughter and

Jiang Jinsang’s bride, isn’t it inappropriate for you to disregard her like this?"

"Why should | be enthusiastic about someone else’s bride?"

After Tang Wan left, she thought to herself, Qi Zeyan was indeed right.

This Third Master Fu, despite his high ranking...

was too difficult to deal with!

She wondered what the master’s niece saw in someone much older than herself.

However, as more guests arrived, Tang Wan naturally had no tto attend to the two of them

further. They were just there to offer congratulations today, not to be the center of attention,

mostly keeping a low profile, probably due to someone’s imposing aura, as no one approached to

greet them.

Shen Shuci was rushing to a job interview today and was a bit late.

"Wanwan, sorry, | thought the interview would only take an hour, but it was delayed much longer."

"It’s fine, they haven't started serving food yet, I'll take you there."

Actually, by the tShen Shuci arrived, almost everyone was there. As Tang Wan led her in, it

drew quite a bit of attention.

By seniority, Shen Shuci was supposed to sit next to Tang Yunxian, but that side was filled with

elders in their forties and fifties. Feeling constrained, Shen Shuci, a young girl, found it

uncomfortable, so she was seated at the table with Jiang Yanting, where almost everyone was an

acquaintance...
