Perhaps because this is the first gathering Lin Jie and others are hosting since returning from the disaster-stricken area, all the guests are especially present.
Not only did the people who frequently attended gatherings all show up, but even Chen Lan, who had missed the last few gatherings, came.
Having recently divorced, she looked like she was in pretty good spirits.
Additionally, there were a few guests attending for the first time.
For instance, Chen Fanzhi and his girlfriend, Meng Xiuyan.
Although Lin Jie had told himself to try not to meet with Chen Fanzhi in the future, since he is a genuine relative of the An Family, encounters between the two were sometimes unavoidable.
The experience in the disaster zone also moved Lin Jie somewhat. Life is unpredictable, and the conflict with Chen Fanzhi is not a fundamental enmity.
So as not to make it awkward for An Kexin and An Kemeng, who were caught in the middle, Lin Jie suggested inviting them.
