Accompanied by Su Qian, Huo Nan muddle-headedly returned to the Huo Family's banquet. As soon as he stepped through the door, Huo Nan felt as if there were fewer people at the party now than when he'd left earlier. ?Could it be that these people had all run over there?
Father Su was chatting happily with his business partners when someone asked why Su Yan wasn't here.
Father Su looked like a kind father as he said bitterly, "The child has grown up, it's not easy to control her anymore. We didn't let her attend Yun Shang's fashion week yesterday, so she decided not to attend the Huo family's banquet out of spite today."
Hearing everyone's agreement, Father Su continued, "Our family will also hold a banquet in a few days. Qianqian, who has been lost for eighteen years, has finally been found. When the time comes, we will bring her to everyone to show her around, all of you must come over."
"Definitely, definitely."
"Of course I'm going to President Su's banquet."
It was another round of flattery, Father Su felt comfortable hearing it and felt a little light-headed.
Mother Su also pretended that Su Yan was disobedient and refused to attend the banquet, and that Su Qian was the most sensible and obedient one. Mother Su, who was also enjoying the flattery, thought maliciously in her heart that it would be best if that wretched girl died in an accident and never appeared in front of her again.
When Mother Su saw Huo Nan and Su Qian walking in together, her mood soared."Look at how compatible Nan Nan is with our Qianqian. It would be great if they could be together."
The noble madams looked at Huo Nan, who was dressed in an elegant manner, and then at Su Qian, who was wearing a formal smile and had a hint of cowardice in her eyes. Although they felt that Su Qian was a little petty, they still agreed with Mother Su.
The crowd at the door suddenly became restless. Mother Su looked towards the source of the sound and saw Su Yan, who she had just frantically stepped on, standing at the door with everyone's attention, beside her was a man in a wheelchair.
Behind him was...
"President Liu, President Zhang, Chairman Bai?" The appearance of these business giants made Father Huo's expression turn strict, he adjusted his suit and hurried out to welcome them. These people were people he wanted to invite but couldn't. Now, they suddenly appeared at his family's banquet??Did this mean that the Huo Family was going to flourish?
"Your presence brings light to the manor." Father Huo said, "Nan'er, quick, bring these nobles inside."
Unexpectedly, Chairman Bai smiled and declined, "President Huo, we just came here together with Miss Su."
"M-Miss Su?" At this time, Father Huo finally saw the beautiful girl standing in front of these people. It was Su Yan that Father Su had spoken about earlier.
Su Yan said politely, "I was really busy today, but I remembered that Uncle Huo's banquet is nearby, so I came over to greet him."
At the same time, she wanted to see whether the Su Family members would be angered to death. When she saw Father Su's ugly expression and Mother Su was so angry that she bit her lip, she was in a good mood.
Mother Su had attended many banquets with Father Su, so she naturally recognized the faces of the big shots in the upper-class society of City A. It took her a while to realize the current situation when she saw these several big shots standing behind Su Yan and supporting her. Mother Su felt her face burning. Su Yan, who she called trash, was now standing on the same level as the big bosses.
Su Qian, on the other hand, who was constantly praised by her, was currently cowering at the side. In the past, she had always appeared gentle and demure, but now that she thought about it, she felt that Su Qian was too petty and was not presentable.
How could this be? Su Qian was clearly her daughter, how could she lose to Su Yan??Before her brain could react, Mother Su had already said 'impossible'. Her voice was so loud that it attracted the attention of Su Yan and the rest.
Shi Qing frowned and said meaningfully, "It seems that the quality of the participants at Mr. Huo's banquet isn't high." After speaking, he knocked on the handle of his wheelchair and Xu Xin pushed Shi Qing away. Before he left, he politely nodded at Father Huo.
Since Shi Qing had already left, how could these big-shots who had followed him on account of Shi Qing stay behind?
Father Huo pulled President Liu, whom he was most familiar with, and asked, "Brother Liu, tell me, who is that wheelchair-bound man?" After all, he had been in the business world for half his life, so Father Huo's judgment was not wrong. Just now, those big-shots clearly respected Shi Qing, and Father Huo saw it all.
In the first place, they had agreed to attend the Huo Family's dinner party, but in the end, they went back on their word. President Liu knew he was at a disadvantage, so he naturally couldn't reject Father Huo now. He could only tell the truth."That person is the head of the Shi family in the Capital."
Afraid that Father Huo wouldn't believe him, President Liu added, "It's the Shi family, one of the four great families in the Capital."
President Liu was about to leave after saying that, but on account of his long friendship with Father Huo, he turned his head and said, "I think your son has some conflicts with President Shi.. You have to be careful."
