Zhao Qiankun stepped out to meet the guests, and nearly everyone had arrived except the Bai Family. The Bai Family held the greatest influence at present, so Zhao Qiankun showed them considerable respect by personally greeting them at the entrance and joining them as they entered.
The Bai Family's attendance was significant, with Bai Yi and Bai Zhengyi, accompanied by Mrs. Bai, among the attendees. Bai Zhengyi appeared to be in his forties or fifties, bearing deep nasolabial folds and a rather cold complexion—a stern figure. His wife looked to be in her forties, slightly plump, wearing a string of thumb-sized pearl necklaces around her neck and pearl earrings, exuding an air of affluence. Her face, unlike her husband's, was adorned with a welcoming smile.
