This morning, the air of the Dong River seemed to be filled with the sweet and elegant fragrance of gardenias.

There was an endless stream of people coming and going from the clothing stores on the street. Often, one or two men dressed in servant clothes would rush out of the store with suits in their hands. Then, in the blink of an eye, they would be seen loitering around the various men's jewelry stores to retrieve the jewelry they had ordered earlier.

Even the normally well-dressed gentlemen appeared particularly spirited today. Each of them took as much time to dress up as the ladies did.

Tonight was the return banquet of the eldest daughter of the Lin family. The eldest daughter of the Lin family, who had been missing for more than ten years, had finally been found and returned home. The Lin family had sent out invitations, and almost all of the reputable families in the Dong River had been invited. Those families with sons of marriageable age were even more tempted.

Previously, the three great families of the Dong River only had two daughters. The Hong and Xu families were united by marriage, and the Xu and Lin families were also rumored to be interested in marriage. Naturally, they didn't dare to think about Miss Hong and Miss Xu. However, the eldest daughter of the Lin family was now a famous flower without a master. Moreover, among the three great families of the Dong River, the only suitable young master left was the adopted son and second-in-command of the Hong Bang family, Luo Fusheng.

As everyone knew, although the Hong and Lin families weren't mortal enemies, they were close.

There was absolutely no possibility of the Hong and Lin families being united by marriage. How could people not think about it?

Even if they didn't have a suitable son at home, it was also excellent to take this opportunity to interact with others.

Therefore, the Dong River, which had finally calmed down, was once again lively. The various high-end handmade and custom-made shops were overwhelmed with business. The shop owners were smiling from ear to ear. In their hearts, they wished that the three great families of the Dong River would hold banquets every day so that the young masters and young ladies could compete with each other and increase their business several times over.

Today, Lin Ruomeng was wearing a custom-made one-piece dress, a snow-white modified cheongsam with French laces. The upper part of the dress was fastened to the collar with a China knot, making her look gentle. The lower part of the dress was matched with a wavy, narrow skirt that reached the floor, making her look tall and charming. Paired with her slightly curly long hair, she was both beautiful and moving.

She was clearly not used to it. From time to time, she tugged at her clothes and said uneasily, "Brother, how about … I change back to my own clothes?

I also have a few pretty dresses, but this one … this one is a bit difficult to move around. "

"

Lin Chi-kai laughed. "It's very pretty.

"

"But, I'm not used to it …" Lin Ruomeng moved and felt as if the clothes were binding her entire body. She couldn't even move her arms and legs.

"Don't worry, I'm here.

Lin Chi-kai stood up and extended his hand to her. "Since there's still time, do you mind if big brother dances with you?"

"

"You want to dance?

Lin Ruomeng jumped in fright and waved her hands: "No, no, I can't.

"

Lin Ruomeng did not know how to dance socially. Since elementary school, she had purely learned opera. She was very familiar with "singing, reciting, acting, and fighting." However, this kind of Western social dance was something she had never come into contact with. She could only hold onto the hem of her dress and not know what to do.

"That's all for now.

Lin Chi-kai took her hand and gently placed his other hand behind her waist. "Take a step with this foot first … Yes, just like that. Then take another step with your other foot …"

Lin Ruomeng jumped a few times and almost fell. The heels of her high heels were too high and she felt uneasy as she walked. "It's too difficult, big brother, I'd better not learn …"

"It's not difficult, it's not difficult. You just need to master a few steps and you'll be able to dance very well."

Lin Chi-kai said gently.

Lin Ruomeng made up her mind. "Okay, big brother, I'll learn well."

"

Lin Ruomeng was a smart girl and with her foundation in opera, it didn't take long for her to dance quite well.

"Are you practicing dancing?"

Mount Lindau came back from the company. As soon as he entered, he saw his children practicing social dance in the hall. His mood couldn't help but brighten.

Ever since Lin Ruomeng came back, the smile at the corner of his mouth had never fallen. His lifeless eyes had also regained their spirit.

"Father."

Lin Ruomeng smiled sweetly.

"You dance very well. But Ruomeng, if you don't know how to dance, let's not learn."

Mount Lindau smiled.

"It's okay if you don't know how to dance, you don't have to learn so hard."

"It's okay.

Father, I feel very happy. When I dance, it's completely different from before. You don't have to worry about me. "

Lin Ruomeng said with a smile.

Lin Chi-kai moved his shoulders and relaxed his muscles.

He wore a fitted pure black suit. Because he had just finished dancing, he took off his jacket, revealing a checkered vest of the same color. His white shirt was rolled up and he wore a branded watch on his left hand. His neat hair was a little wet from the exercise and beads of sweat slid down his cheeks. At this time, he had a more unruly temperament than usual.

"Okay, okay, don't tire yourself out."

Mount Lindau nodded, then took the orange juice that the servant brought and handed it to Lin Ruomeng. "Take a rest first. There's no rush to learn things."

"Ah.

Father, why did you come back so early today? "

Lin Ruomeng blinked her big eyes and asked curiously.

"Oh, I saw that there wasn't much to do today, so I came back to prepare. After all, it's your welcome dinner, so I wanted to go home early to prepare and memorize my speech."

"Ah.

"Father, thank you."

Lin Ruomeng smiled very happily. In the past, when she saw Mount Lindau in the newspapers, he always had a straight face. But after getting along with him for a few days, no matter how cold he was to outsiders, he always had a smiling face in front of her.

Mount Lindau lowered his head slightly and wiped away the tears in his eyes. "I've waited for you to call me Father for so long. Fortunately, the heavens have mercy on me and I can finally hear you call me Father again."

"Father."

"I'll never leave you again, Father."

Lin Ruomeng held his hand. "In the future, your daughter will be filial to you and make up for the regret of not being filial to you for more than ten years."

"Father."

"Father, as long as you're well, it's fine."

Mount Lindau patted her hand. "Father doesn't care about anything else."

"Father."

"After Ruomeng came back, Father really smiled a lot more and was much happier. At home, I haven't heard laughter for a long time."

Lin Chi-kai put his hands in his pockets.

"You child."

Mount Lindau was no longer as serious as before and his tone was much gentler. "Look at your wet hair, why don't you go and tidy it up? Today is Ruomeng's banquet, as her older brother, you can't be rude."

"Father."

Lin Chi-kai blinked his eyes in surprise and then turned his head slightly to hide this?

"I'll go and tidy it up."

"Father."

His father … had not spoken to him in such a gentle tone for a long time.

"Father, do I look good in it?"

Lin Ruomeng twirled in front of him.

Mount Lindau said in a daze, "You look good … too good."

"Father."

At this moment?

He seemed to see his wife Anne Cheyenne's bright smile and heard her affectionately call his name.

Lin Ruomeng really looked too much like his wife.

"You don't have much jewelry. Come, today I'll give you all the jewelry your mother left behind. You can wear it when you go out in the future. It's all good stuff."

Mount Lindau patted her hand. "In the future, I'll give you a thousand yuan every month. You don't have to be polite with Father if you want to buy anything. If it's not enough, Father will give you more."

"Father."

"Father, this is too much!"

Lin Ruomeng said uneasily.

In the Dong River, everyone's monthly salary was probably a few hundred yuan and their living expenses were only a little more than a hundred yuan a month. Now that her father gave her a thousand yuan as pocket money, she really felt that it was too much.

"It's not much, not much. You're Mount Lindau's daughter. This is not much."

Mount Lindau comforted her. "In the future, buy whatever you like. If it's not enough, Father will give you more. You don't have to save money for Father. Father earns so much, it's all for you and Qikai."

"Father."

"I don't need anything. I eat and live well at home. When I go out, I have a car. I even prepared clothes for you. I really don't need to spend money."

Lin Ruomeng said with a smile.

"Then you should save it. If you need it someday, you won't be out of money."

Mount Lindau felt a little sad in his heart. His child had suffered so much, but now she was so easily satisfied with such a small thing.

"Then … Okay, Father. I'll buy you a gift when I go shopping. You must accept it!"

Lin Ruomeng rolled her eyes and thought of a way to 'spend money'.

Mount Lindau was amused and laughed.

"What are you laughing at?

Let me join in? "

At this time, Lin Chi-kai had finished tidying up and came down from upstairs. He joked, "Don't leave me out."

"

Mount Lindau laughed.

He was in an extremely good mood and said, "Tonight, accompany Ruomeng well. You don't have to worry about anything else."

"Father."

"Father?"

Lin Chi-kai glanced at him. Didn't he ask him to bond with Xu Xingyuan at the banquet?

"I'm old and only have you two children left. Are you happy?

If you're happy, then I'm happy. "

Mount Lindau sighed and said, "You can do other things if you want to. If you don't want to, then forget it."

"Father."

He looked at Lin Ruomeng and felt that his empty heart was filled.

His wife had always wanted this family to be happy. Then why did he have to force his son to do things he didn't want to do?

He knew that Lin Chi-kai didn't love Xu Xingyuan. Now that he had Ruomeng, it seemed that nothing else mattered.

He still had a trump card that the XU Family and Lin Family didn't know about. Even if he didn't marry into the Xu Family, it wouldn't be so easy for them to touch him!
