Recently, everyone in the Kyoto social circle is buzzing about one thing: it is said that the long-lost daughter of the Su family, one of the four major wealthy families, has returned.
Some p...
However, Su Ya had no idea that Shi Yun would later cause her a lot of trouble.
But that's a story for another time.
Time flies, and Suya's birthday arrived.
Ultimately, Elder Ye chose to confront the Su family.
However, it's unclear what day they chose.
Of all the days, it had to be Su Ya's birthday.
Su Ya's birthday was also the day they were preparing to hold a welcome banquet for her.
A day in advance, Su's mother prepared the dress she was to wear.
On his birthday, many prominent people in Kyoto received invitations from Su Linzhe.
Originally, the plan was just to hold a small event and invite some people the Su family knew.
Unexpectedly, Su Linzhe was angered by Ye Qinchuan.
So they sent out invitations widely.
Fortunately, the Water Pavilion and Orchid Pavilion are large enough.
Even adding twenty more tables would be more than enough.
Moreover, Yunxi already knew that Su Ya was the one who hosted the welcome banquet for the Su family.
Shuixie Lanting has a rule: for any banquet, they only accept one guest on that day.
This way, people won't go to the wrong banquet venue and make a fool of themselves.
On this day, the employees of Shui Xie Lan Ting prepared early in the morning.
The lobby manager repeatedly emphasized that there could be no mistakes today.
Since the opening of Shuixie Lanting, there has never been such a request.
It's easy to see how much Yunxi values today's banquet.
After all, it is the Su family, one of the top four wealthy families.
Mr. Su and Grandpa Su had thought that these people would at least give them some face and attend the banquet.
Unexpectedly, only those who wanted to curry favor with the Su family came.
However, there were also many people who were amused by the situation.
The spacious hall was sparsely populated with people sitting around.
We could barely manage to get enough people for two tables.
Just then, Grandpa Su's phone rang.
It was Mr. Ye calling.
Before Old Su could speak
Old Ye said, "His grandson is not good enough for Old Su's granddaughter. A forced marriage will not be happy. I think their marriage should be called off."
Old Su was very angry, but in this kind of situation, he couldn't show it on his face or let anyone see it.
He could only keep these feelings to himself. He hung up the phone.
However, Old Su was also annoyed: "Old Ye, why did you have to call today of all days?"
Many people present knew about the engagement between the Su and Ye families, but because the Su family's youngest daughter was lost when she was young, the matter was left unresolved.
Those present were also watching to see if the Ye family would send anyone today.
There was still half an hour before the banquet officially began.
But the people in the hall were always the same.
There were a few more of Suya's classmates, but no one else.
Some people wanted to leave after seeing this scene.
But unexpectedly,
at this time
The greeter was calling out.
"Welcome, Mr. and Mrs. Bai."
A handsome young man and a beautiful young woman, both around 40 years old, walked into the banquet hall.
"President Su, it's been a long time."
"Mr. Bai, it's been a long time. Lin Zhe, please show Mr. Bai to a seat."
"This is a gift for your daughter. It's just a small token of my appreciation."
Because it's Suya's birthday.
So her father did not open her gift.
Immediately afterwards.
"Welcome, Ms. Dai, President of Penny Jewelry."
Su Dahai and Su Linzhe exchanged a glance. They had heard of Penny Tai, a strong woman, but since they had never interacted with her before, she was not on this list.
"President Su, I've long admired your name."
"Mr. Dai, I've long admired your name."
"Lin Zhe, please help General Dai to his seat."
"No rush, let me go check on Ya Ya first. Is now a good time?"
Su Qinghai and Su Linzhe then realized that Dai Peini was invited by Su Ya.
"Welcome, President Yan and Vice President Yan Wencheng of the Chinese Medicine Association."
The guests present were dumbfounded. Countless people wanted to establish connections with the Chinese Medicine Association, but they all struggled to find a way. Unexpectedly, the Su family knew Elder Yan of the Chinese Medicine Association. It seems this trip was indeed worthwhile.
"Mr. Yan, it's a pleasure to meet you. Your presence truly enhances my daughter's banquet."
Judging from Su Qinghai's tone, Old Man Yan knew that Su Ya had not told Su's father about their relationship.
"You're too kind. I heard it's your daughter's birthday party today, and my apprentice happened to receive an invitation from her, so I came uninvited. I have to say I got this apprentice thanks to your daughter."
"Lin Zhe, please lead Elder Yan and the Vice President to their seats."
"Welcome Mr. Yun, the owner of Shui Xie Yun Ting."
They were at the Water Pavilion at that moment. They had heard that the owner of the Water Pavilion was very difficult to invite, and not many people outside had ever seen him. They never expected that he would be hosting their daughter's birthday party today.
Yunxi came uninvited because he noticed that there weren't many people at his sister Ya's welcome banquet.
"President Su, it's a pleasure to meet you."
"Mr. Yun, it's a pleasure to meet you. I really didn't expect that my daughter would know you."
“I’ve known your daughter for several years, but we haven’t had time to meet. Today is a good opportunity.”
"Lin Zhe, please bring General Yun to his seat."
"President Su, you're too kind. We're all family."
"Welcome, Mr. Lu, Lu Yichen."
The hall fell silent. Everyone in Kyoto knew Lu Yichen; he was the most beloved grandson of the Lu family, one of the eight most powerful families in Kyoto. They were practically untouchable in the city.
Lu Yichen was dressed in a well-tailored black suit, a far cry from his usual carefree demeanor at school. He now had the air of a young master.
"Hello, Uncle Su." Lu Yichen greeted him politely.
"Young Master Lu, welcome. Lin Zhe, please quickly show Young Master Lu to a seat."
Su's father remained unmoved. Lu Yichen. Why was the young master of the Lu family here?
“Uncle Su, I’m here today on behalf of Su Ya. You don’t need to be so polite. I can just sit with the other students in our class.”
"well.
"Welcome Ikegi from Kyoto Ichichu High School."
Upon hearing this name, the people present were still trying to process it. Was it the Ikegi they had heard about?
When Elder Chi finally appeared, everyone present gasped.
It really was that one.
Ordinary people may not know Elder Chi's identity.
However, most of the people present today come from families with some background or influence.
There are quite a few legends about Ikegi.
He is the most respected visiting professor at Tsinghua University.
But he was searching for the best mathematical talents.
I've always been an ordinary teacher at Kyoto No. 1 Middle School.
Upon hearing Chi Mu's name, Su Qinghai quickly took a few steps forward.
"Elder Chi, it really is you."
"Xiao Su, you've raised a wonderful daughter."
Su Qinghai didn't understand what Old Chi meant. Ya Ya's grades, while barely acceptable, were probably not good enough. Although she had once scored full marks, she had failed several other subjects, which dragged down her overall score.
"Welcome Mr. Lin, President of the Lin Group, and his daughter."
"Hello, Uncle Su. I'm Lin Shan, Ya Jie's classmate. Where's Ya Jie? I can't see her." A cute but shy little girl walked quickly to Su Qinghai.
Su Qinghai knew that this must be Ya Ya's classmate again.
"She's here. She's changing clothes upstairs and will be down in a bit. Please wait a moment."
Before he could even arrange for Lin Shan to sit down...
