This is absolutely insane!

Qu Jian'er, standing not far away, said expressionlessly: "There's a kind of awkwardness called 'I feel awkward for you.'"

The head of the Smith family always wanted to find a time to see Qu Jian'er again, but he never had the chance.

I finally met Qu Jian'er.

He insisted on coming over, almost forgetting his manners and losing his aristocratic composure.

The head of the Smith family handed her a glass of low-alcohol liquor: "Miss Qu, it's been a long time."

Qu Jian'er took the wine glass and said with a smile, "Long time no see, how are you, old man?"

Smith said very respectfully, "Thanks to you, things have improved a lot. It's just that the state banquet is too complicated, which is why the old man couldn't come."

Just as Smith was about to say a few more words to someone.

The old patriarch Carter walked over: "Young friend, when did you arrive? I didn't even see you."

Qu Jian'er, the conversation terminator: "Just now."

The old Carter family head was both amused and exasperated. He glanced at the Smith family head and nodded calmly.

The head of the Smith family, standing to the side, was slightly surprised.

The Carter family, considered the empire's arms supplier, were the least sociable of the nine families.

Of course, it happened today.

He then walked over to Qu Jian'er's side.

However, he quickly came to terms with it.

Their family also claimed that they would not sit or stand with ordinary people, but after what happened with Mr. Smith...

Qu Jian'er had already corrected his thinking long ago.

Nothing is immutable when it comes to matters of life and death, and he believed that this was also the case for the old Carter family patriarch.

The state banquet was essentially a business meeting between the nine families, and no other citizens were included.

Qu Jian'er is very down-to-earth, so she doesn't like chatting with these people who are refined but vulgar.

She finally managed to escape the "encirclement" of many people.

She saw Lan Xiaodie walking towards her arm in arm with a middle-aged man, and Gu Siyu, accompanied by Zuo Zhijing, also walked towards her.

She felt like she was going crazy.

This is even more painful than playing dirty tricks.

As more and more prominent people walked towards Qu Jian'er, Qu Jiaorou's jealousy began to surge.

What's wrong with this world?!

She spent a long time, relying on her royal connections, but only managed to get in touch with the head of the Black family.

Qu Jian'er did nothing wrong, so why are so many people eager to be with her?

She thought of the investigation Ou Xiao had conducted and learned that Qu Jian'er had only been able to attend the state banquet because of Zuo Chen.

Immediately, she became even more jealous. How could Ou Xiao, a member of the royal family, be inferior to Zuo Chen in terms of "appeal"?

As expected, just as Ou Xiao said, Zuo Chen cannot be allowed to live! Nor can the Zuo family be allowed to live!

And at this time.

The person surrounded by the crowd was also in a bad mood.

Qu Jian'er picked up the empty pastry plate: "I'm hungry. You can go back to where you came from."

She issued an order to leave.

Without further ado, they changed course and went to the dining table.

Just then.

The Wu family also arrived.
