Chapter 46: The Banquet Begins (I)

As the sun began to dip below the horizon, the sky was painted with beautiful shades of red and orange, setting the perfect backdrop for the banquet. The Hotel Red Phoenix had spared no expense in decorating the venue. Lanterns hung from every tree, and the tables were adorned with fresh flowers and candles. Servants could be seen stationed at every corner, ready to attend to the guests.

Madam Tian, dressed in her finest silk cheongsam, stood at the entrance of the banquet hall, surveying the scene before her. Her daughter Jiang Yixuan's banquet was one of the most important events of the year, and she had spent the entire day making sure that everything was perfect.

"Make sure everything is in order," Madam Tian instructed one of the servants. "The flowers should be fresh, the music playing as soon as the guests arrive, and the special dishes must be served hot."
