After Kang Huimin made the voice call to Yang Hao, the entire living room fell silent.
Everyone pricked up their ears to listen to the voice from the other end of the phone.
The people of Kang Family naturally hoped Yang Hao would come to Kang Jingchun’s birthday banquet, since it was a significant eightieth birthday, and they had made elaborate arrangements, inviting many relatives and friends.
So, no matter in what capacity Yang Hao would come, his presence would be an honor for the Kang Family, especially since he was now a billionaire of great wealth.
Thus, when Kang Huimin asked her question, everyone was eagerly anticipating Yang Hao’s response.
“I am already on my way to Xiangyang City.”
Yang Hao’s voice came through the phone.
“Ah?”
“He’s already coming??”
Kang Huimin was shocked; this was an outcome she hadn’t expected.
It wasn’t just her, others in the living room were also very surprised—after all, Yang Hao had divorced Li Manshu.
For him to take the initiative to attend Kang Jingchun’s birthday banquet, it seemed he hadn’t intended to sever ties with the family!
He’s coming?
Could it be he really intends to remarry me??
Li Manshu felt overwhelmed by the sudden surge of happiness, so much so that she barely trusted her ears.
Neither she nor her parents had mentioned anything about Yang Hao coming to the banquet when they arrived.
In fact, it wasn’t that Li Baojun and Kang Huizhi had withheld the information, but they also weren’t certain Yang Hao would definitely attend.

Even though they had told Li Manni to invite Yang Hao, they weren’t sure if he would actually make it.
It was only after Yang Hao and Li Manni had left that they received confirmation Yang Hao would definitely come.
Since Yang Hao was coming with their younger daughter Li Manni, Li Baojun and Kang Huizhi decided not to tell Li Manshu right away, fearing it might upset their elder daughter. They thought it best to wait until Yang Hao and Li Manni were almost there before informing her, so that she could prepare herself mentally.
However, Li Baojun and Kang Huizhi hadn’t expected Kang Huimin to make the call.
“That’s wonderful!”
“Yang, it’s really great that you can come!”
After a brief moment of stunned silence, Kang Huimin immediately expressed her happiness with a smile.
“Yang, when will you arrive?”
“I’m your fourth aunt.”
Kang Huifen leaned in to ask close to the phone.
“Well, in about three hours, I think.”
Yang Hao, sitting in the passenger seat of the Rolls-Royce Phantom, glanced at the navigation which showed a remaining travel time of two and a half hours.
However, Yang Hao preferred to give himself plenty of time, so he said three hours.
“Three hours.”
“Then you’ll be just in time for the meal.”
“We’re all waiting for you,” Kang Huifen quickly joined in.
Kang Huimin then asked, “Yang, how are you coming? Do you need to be picked up from the station?”
“If needed, your second uncle and I can pick you up.”
As she spoke, Kang Huimin rapidly gestured to her husband, and Zhao Hongbo, getting the hint, moved closer with his teacup and said, “Yang, I’m your second uncle!”
“If you’re arriving at the Xiangyang high-speed train station, just tell me the train number, and I’ll go to pick you up shortly.”
Zhao Hongbo, who was about to retire and had spent his life understanding the ways of the world, knew this was an opportunity to curry favour with their “nephew-in-law,” so he was very eager in his offer.
Seeing this, Kang Huifen beside him gave a sharp glare to her own husband who was still stupidly sitting beside her. They too had driven there, so they were quite capable of picking someone up from the station.
Fortunately for Kang Huifen, Yang Hao’s response relieved her.
“No need to bother, second uncle, I’m driving here,” answered Yang Hao.
“Ah, I see, that’s fine then. We’ll be waiting for you!” Zhao Hongbo replied politely.
“Yang, then you’re driving!”
“Ah, I wasn’t sure. Well, I won’t disturb you further. Focus on driving, and be safe,” Kang Huimin hurriedly took over the conversation again.
“Second sister, you’re overthinking it.”
“How could Yang possibly not bring a chauffeur with him!”
“Right, Yang?”
Kang Huifen chimed in.
“I brought an apprentice with me, and he’s driving.”
Yang Hao glanced at Qin Feng, who was driving. Recently, the performance of this “Hucheng’s number one rich second generation” had truly satisfied Yang Hao.
After all, he’s a person with a net worth of several hundred million at such a young age. Being able to lower himself to do all these menial tasks proves that Qin Feng didn’t accumulate his wealth by mere luck.
Being flexible and knowing how to read the situation, he could also be considered a talent.
So, Yang Hao had acknowledged him as his apprentice.
“Yang, since you’re almost here, we’ll talk when we see each other. Your aunt has so much she wants to say to you.”
Although she knew Yang Hao wasn’t the one driving, with so many people around right now, it wasn’t the time to discuss serious matters. Kang Huimin courteously said a few more words before ending the call with Yang Hao.
Of course, the speed at which she ended the call was intentional.
The arrival of the wealthy Yang Hao to attend her father’s birthday banquet was big news and a rare opportunity.
She had other plans in mind.
“Second sister, why did you hang up so quickly? We haven’t even talked about Manshu’s issue yet!”
Kang Huifen immediately feigned a complaint when Kang Huimin ended the call so swiftly.
But her complaint was fake, just a show for Li Manshu, to score points!
“It’s naturally better to discuss these things in person.”
“Over the phone, it’s just not the same as face-to-face communication. Plus, Yang is actively coming to the banquet. I think there’s hope for this matter.”
“Manshu, if I help you get back together with Yang, you’d better not forget your aunt!”
Kang Huimin was already eagerly laying out the groundwork.
“Aunt, don’t worry. I have all your deeds in my heart.”
“Besides, you’re doing this for my sake. If Yang Hao and I really get back together, I’ll be sure to thank you properly!”
Li Manshu promptly pledged, thinking to herself that if Aunt Kang Huimin really could facilitate her reunion with Yang Hao, giving her ten million wouldn’t be a problem.
After all, her ex-husband, Yang Hao, was now worth tens of billions!
Even, let alone ten million, one hundred million wouldn’t be too much!
“Manshu, when Yang arrives, I will also do my utmost to help mediate.”
Seeing the credit being taken by her sister Kang Huimin, Kang Huifen suddenly became anxious and quickly added her own promise.
“Mhm, then thank you in advance, second aunt and fourth aunt.”
“As long as we can get back together, you would be mine and Xixi’s great benefactors.”
Li Manshu affirmed again, conveniently mentioning Xixi, as if to suggest her willingness to reconcile was also for Xixi’s sake.
In this way, it wouldn’t look too bad in front of the relatives. After all, if she seemed too eager, it would come off as too fawning!
The relatives would surely gossip behind her back: See, as soon as Yang Hao became a wealthy man, she’s eager to get back together with him!
Of course, if she could actually succeed in reconciling, she wouldn’t care about such gossip at all.
The problem was, she knew the chances of getting back together were actually quite slim.
“I have a question.”
“How did Yang find out about our dad’s eightieth birthday celebration tomorrow?”
At that moment, Niu Guo Qiang, the always silent fourth aunt’s husband, suddenly spoke up.
His question caused the lively living room to fall silent suddenly; everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, all with puzzled expressions.
“Yeah, how did Yang know?”
Kang Huifen, stroking her chin, echoed the question.
“It must have been Hui Zhi who told him, right?”
Kang Huimin, who was quicker on the uptake, immediately speculated.
“Mhm, it must be.”
Kang Huifen nodded in agreement, then turned to Li Manshu with a smile and said, “Manshu, see? Actually, your mom also hopes you and Yang can get back together!”
