Han Xinyan returns to the Gu family gathering, where her grandparents proudly introduce her to guests and reveal her engagement, deflecting matchmaking efforts. Distant relatives Liang Yifang and Gu Yingying receive a cold reception from the ladies, with Yingying corrected on addressing Old Madam Gu as Great-Aunt. Yingying's invited classmates arrive with invalid invitations and are denied entry by security, prompting her to confront Xinyan at the gate.

Before Gu Yingying had a chance to respond, her little follower shrieked, "Han Xinyan, how dare you speak that way? This is the Gu Family home."

Upon hearing that, Xinyan shot Gu Yingying a smirk that wasn't quite genuine, "Did you invite all these people?"

Gu Yingying felt utterly irritated by Xinyan's smirk, "It seems you're crossing the line."

The nearby security guard could no longer hold back, "Missy."

Gu Yingying had brought along her classmates to spectate, and due to their position, she couldn't tell who the security was calling out to.

Her follower grew thrilled and declared, "Han Xinyan, even as a top student who acts all high and mighty at school, this is the Gu Family. Nobody here will put up with you."

Xinyan caught those words and couldn't suppress a hearty laugh.

Lu Yanyan, the sidekick, snapped in fury, "What's so funny?"

Xinyan shook her head lightly, replying, "It's a great day today, so I'll laugh whenever I feel like it."

With that, she pivoted toward the security guard who was thoroughly inspecting the guests' invitations, "Ensure no one unqualified gets inside."

The security guard promised Xinyan confidently, "Rest assured, Missy, we're strictly following Mr. Gu's orders."

Anyone with eyes could see that "Missy" wasn't directed at Gu Yingying.

Right then, Gu Yingying stood frozen in shock; 'Missy'? Was Han Xinyan actually the Gu Family's Missy?

Xinyan flashed a grin at the dazed Gu Yingying before striding away.

Gu Yingying's follower, Lu Yanyan, pieced it together gradually and blurted, "Yingying, is Han Xinyan really the Gu Family's Missy?"

She followed up, "There's no way that's true!"

A nearby classmate piped up, "Yeah, if she truly belonged to the Gu Family, she would've bragged about it ages ago."

The entrance security captain had enough, "Not everyone's as showy as you lot. Now, no invitation means step aside, please."

Gu Yingying's cheeks burned with deeper shame.

Without getting these folks inside today, how would she ever hold her head high at school afterward?

She cleared her throat softly, "I am Gu...."

But before finishing, the security captain cut in irritably, "Who you are doesn't matter. The old master made it clear today: invitation holders can bring just one family member each.

Not even with your two invitations would you manage more than four people total inside.

Plus, your invitations are blank ones—don't put us in a tough spot."

Gu Yingying's rage boiled over, "What's that supposed to mean?"

The security captain kept his steady voice, "One more time: please don't complicate things for us."

His words barely landed when a few cars pulled up far off.

All eyes turned that way instantly.

The Gu Family hadn't intended to ask the An Family over, since they shared no connections.

Yet surprisingly, after news of the Gu Family's comeback spread, the An Family reached out to Han Jingchen and He Jinxuan too.

They mentioned how the Gu Family's troubles stemmed from some troublemakers, and it was Han Jingchen, her dad, and He Jinxuan who exposed them. The An Family's younger generation gained a lot from it.

Perfectly timed, the plot of land Gu Wanqing desired had just been greenlit, so they decided to drop by.

Naturally, they also aimed to back the Gu Family publicly.

Gu Yingying observed the arrivals stepping from the vehicles—they clearly weren't average folk—and yet they beamed warmly at Han Xinyan with greetings.

The sight fueled Gu Yingying's burning envy.

Xinyan sensed it all right, but spared her not even a look.

She bantered joyfully with the arrivals as they headed into the courtyard together.

Clueless about the full picture, Lu Yanyan cried out, "They didn't flash an invitation—why do they get to enter?"
