Chapter 152 An Incident at the Banquet

At the same time, on the other side, in the banquet hall of the most luxurious hotel in Beijing.

After Xie Yanchuan left the dressing room, he always felt inexplicably uneasy.

It's like something is not done well, and there is a dazed feeling in my heart.

Since Xie Yanchuan graduated from university and entered society, he hasn't felt such emotions for a long time.

After that, he always did things flawlessly, including today's banquet.

Xie Yanchuan has already strangled any and all possible changes that he could imagine and that might happen in the cradle.

So even if there are any fish that slip through the net, he has definitely prepared a plan to deal with it.

Thinking of this, Xie Yanchuan shook his head. Coincidentally, at this moment, cheers were heard from the main entrance of the banquet hall.

Following the direction of the voice, I saw that just as Yue Lin had said, Mr. Xie had already come over.

However, Mr. Xie's health has indeed not been as good as before in recent years. Perhaps it was because he had just been rushed from the hospital. He was still sitting in a wheelchair and his face was old and gray. However, the majestic aura in his casual moves still made people feel that he should not be underestimated.

Those who can attend today's banquet are basically the well-known figures in Beijing.

Naturally, everyone recognized Mr. Xie's identity, which led to the exclamations just now.

Xie Yanchuan naturally also saw his father Xie Kaiwen, who was pushing a wheelchair with the old man, and the woman next to Xie Kaiwen, whom he didn't want to see.

"Great-grandfather."

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Xie Yanchuan walked forward, greeted Mr. Xie first, and then glanced coldly at Xie Kaiwen and the graceful woman beside him.

"Dad, Aunt Liu."

The moment he looked at the woman, the look of disgust in Xie Yanchuan's eyes was almost impossible to conceal.

The woman called Aunt Liu by Xie Yanchuan was named Liu Zhiyi, and she was not Xie Kaiwen's original wife.

But she was Xie Yanchuan's biological mother's cousin, and his original aunt.

When Xie Yanchuan was still young, his mother died of illness. Liu Zhiyi went in and out of Xie's house again and again under the pretext of taking care of her nephew, and finally she succeeded in seducing Xie Kaiwen's soul.

This is also one of the reasons why Xie Yanchuan and Xie Kaiwen are extremely incompatible at the moment.

"Xie Yanchuan, haven't I told you many times...!" Especially at this moment, Xie Kaiwen almost lost his temper when he saw his son's expression, but when the words of complaint came to his lips, he was stopped by the woman next to him.

"Kaiwen, there are so many outsiders here today, all watching~"

Liu Zhiyi's voice is as gentle as she looks, but her tone is soft and her unintentional gesture makes her look like she is acting coquettishly.

But Xie Kaiwen was the one who fell for it the most. The middle-aged man's emotions, which were on the verge of going crazy, were calmed down in an instant.

"Hmph, Xie Yanchuan, considering there are so many people here today, I'll come back and settle the score with you."

He sounded dissatisfied, and Mr. Xie, who was standing beside him, finally raised his hand and knocked on the handle of the wheelchair: "Alright, all of you, stop talking."

"Xie Yanchuan, I've heard everything about you and that girl from your uncle and the others. Why don't you bring her over to show us?"

"What's more... the engagement party is about to begin, and why haven't I even seen a single member of the bride's family? Do they really not take our Xie family seriously?"

The old man had a sharp eye and quickly noticed something was wrong at the banquet.

At the same time, he exuded a powerful pressure, which made people shudder at the moment: "Or, Xie Yanchuan."

"You did all this today just to embarrass our Xie family in front of everyone, right?"

The other guests around were originally looking over at them, curious to find out what these big guys were talking about.

As a result, they were faced with Mr. Xie's overly intimidating aura, and they all covered their faces and were defeated.

Even Xie Kaiwen, who had been with the old man for many years, couldn't help but avoid the other party's terrifying aura.

But Xie Yanchuan, who was standing opposite him, was not affected at all by his look.

Of course, although Xie Yanchuan didn't show it on the surface, he still felt a little strange in his heart.

After all, just a few days ago, he had clearly communicated with the Jiang brothers, and the other party had clearly stated that Jiang Qingyan would definitely be present for such a big event.

But now, there were only a dozen minutes left before the banquet began. Not to mention Jiang Wenzhou, Xie Yanchuan hadn't even seen the shadow of Jiang Qingyan.

He didn't suspect that he was being tricked by the two brothers, but he was secretly worried that something terrible had happened at the Jiang family, which was why the two brothers were so busy that they couldn't come over.

Thinking of this, Xie Yanchuan pursed his lips and was about to say something to help the Jiang family recover the situation.

But unexpectedly, at this moment, there was a sudden cry of shock from the crowd.

"Jiang Yue, the executive chairman of the Jiang Group, was traveling with his wife for a meeting when they were involved in a plane crash. Their whereabouts remain unknown. It's highly likely they died in the crash!"

"Jiang's second-largest shareholder is leading the protest, refusing to allow Jiang's eldest son, Jiang Wenzhou, to take over the company? This has caused Jiang's stock price to plummet, and the company building is being besieged by protesters?!"

“…”

Among the crowd at the banquet, no one knew who suddenly shouted the first word, but everyone's shocked exclamations about this kind of news began to rise one after another.

The wedding hall instantly became a mess.

"Jiang, is this really the Jiang we know?"

"I was saying that the daughter of the Jiang family hadn't been seen in public in recent years, and the moment she showed up, she wanted to form a marriage alliance with the Xie family. So that's what she was planning?"

"No wonder even now, with the engagement party about to begin, we still haven't seen anyone from the Jiang family!"

"Has the Xie family been tricked by someone?"

"...So, should we still hold the engagement party today?"

Sounds like these were like a muffled thunder, exploding fiercely above the heads of everyone in the Xie family.

Almost in an instant, everyone stared at the man in the middle of the hall in disbelief. They obviously couldn't accept that Xie Yanchuan would make such an uncertain decision.

Such a big thing happened to the Jiang family, Xie Yanchuan would definitely not be the last one to know about it.

But he knew this, but still did it. Why?

The expressions of those present, some accusing, some surprised, some shocked, and some secretly delighted, seemed to have gathered into thousands of needles at this moment, all piercing Xie Yanchuan's back.

As he narrowed his eyes dangerously, he also noticed someone in the corner seemed to have a momentary smug look.

Then he seemed to have thought of something and rushed towards the dressing room without caring about anything else.

But before he could reach the dressing room, he ran into Yue Lin, who was crying in panic.

"Xie Shao, this is terrible! Ningning, Ningning, she's missing!!"
