As long as she becomes Mrs. Si, she will be above everyone else, and those socialites who usually look down on her will have to come to please her.

"You are my only daughter. If not you, who else should I love? Okay, the person you've been thinking about is out. Are you sure you still want to keep pestering me?"

Father Zhao spoke kindly, but his eyes looked towards the lounge. Mr. Si and Si Mochen walked out one after another, followed by Si Guangxu and his wife.

As soon as Zhao Sichun heard Si Mochen coming, she quickly let go of her father's hand and took out her cosmetics to touch up her makeup.

Father Zhao looked at his daughter's nervous expression, shook his head helplessly, and then went up to entertain her.

"Mr. Si, I haven't seen you for many years. You are still in good health, unlike my father, who was injured and retired that year and has been confined to a wheelchair ever since."

After saying this, Zhao's father sighed deeply.

Others didn't know and thought that Father Zhao was praising the old man for his good health. Only Old Man Si knew in his heart that the Zhao family had always used this method, which had become a shackle that trapped his heart.

Mr. Si and Mr. Zhao are comrades-in-arms. They served in the army together when they were young and had a close relationship like brothers. However, during a mission, Mr. Si accidentally encountered a pack of wolves. It was Mr. Zhao who appeared in time and saved Mr. Si's life.

However, Mr. Zhao also lost both legs in this battle and retired from the sport, choosing to sit in a wheelchair.

Because of this favor, Mr. Si has always been grateful to the Zhao family, and provided a lot of help when the Zhao family started their business. Even when the Zhao family proposed to marry Si Mochen, Mr. Si agreed without hesitation.

It was only because of Si Mochen that the marriage was delayed, and Mr. Zhao had gotten angry with him several times because of this.

Zhao Jialin's tone was full of complaints, and Mr. Si, who was suspicious and vigilant by nature, must have understood what he said.

"It was me who implicated your father back then, causing him to suffer so much!"

Mr. Si did not show any displeasure, but instead said this with deep guilt.

Zhao Jialin sighed softly, "They say true friendship is revealed on the battlefield. If it weren't for this rescue, our two families might not have gotten this close!"

"Yes, it's all fate!"

After Mr. Si finished speaking, he turned his head and looked behind him, then sternly said to Si Mochen, "Xiaochen, why don't you give Miss Zhao a gift?"

At this time, Si Mochen was hidden in the crowd, with one hand in his trouser pocket and the other holding a box, leaning lazily against the wall.

After Mr. Si called out twice, he walked towards this side with an expressionless face.

Xia Zhichu sat in the corner watching the scene in front of him. Just as he was about to look away, he suddenly saw the dark shadow again. But when the man's face gradually appeared, Zhao Sichun suddenly moved closer and blocked Xia Zhichu's sight.

Chu Tiantian said that Zhao Sichun will marry Master Si, the son of the richest man in Jincheng, tonight. Because they have the same surname, Si, Xia Zhichu is very curious about what kind of man this mysterious Master Si is.

"So you also like to watch the fun."

Just as she was about to stand up to see more clearly, Gu Bai's voice came to her ears.

Xia Zhichu groaned, then realized that there was Gu Bai beside him, so he retracted his gaze and shrugged at him, saying, "Not entirely, I just look twice when I see something interesting."

Gu Bai smiled faintly and pointed at the person in front of him, saying, "That's the Si family, the richest family in Jincheng. They're as wealthy as a country, and their background is even more complicated. However, the Si family, who have always been solitary, are planning to marry the Zhao family, a small-time business, tonight. Are you also curious about the reason?!"

"You are wrong, I am not curious." Xia Zhichu said.

Although she observed them a few times, she was not interested in the marriages between wealthy families. As for who Zhao Sichun wanted to marry, it was none of her business, as long as it wasn't her man.

Xia Zhichu also didn't like people guessing her thoughts. Seeing that Gu Bai had a very special status, she didn't want to have too much interaction with him.

"I have something to do and I'll leave first. Mr. Gu, please feel free."

After saying that, she grabbed her bag and stood up.

Just as she took a step, Gu Bai reached out and grabbed her, "Miss Xia, can you give me your contact information?"

Although Xia Zhichu had little experience in love, she had at least been through two marriages, so she naturally knew that Gu Bai wanted to pursue her. So she shrugged and smiled faintly, "Sorry, I'm married."

When Gu Bai heard this, he was slightly stunned.

get married?

The woman he noticed in the crowd was actually married?

Gu Bai just thought it was ridiculous. He slowly relaxed his grip on Xia Zhichu's hand and said to her, "Sorry, I was abrupt."

Xia Zhichu smiled at him, indicating that everything was fine, then lowered his head and left the banquet room.

After she walked out the door, she breathed a sigh of relief. The depressing atmosphere inside made her feel a little breathless. Now that she breathed in the fresh air, she felt like she was alive again.

Taking out his cell phone, Xia Zhichu called Chu Tiantian.

There was a lot of noise inside, and Xia Zhichu thought that Chu Tiantian might not hear the ringtone and would miss her call. Unexpectedly, the call was connected shortly after she dialed.

"Chuchu."

Xia Zhichu heard the sound of water splashing and realized that she might be in the bathroom, so he asked, "Nothing, I came out and told you that I'll wait for you in the car."

"Forget it, there's no need to attend this party, let's go back."

"what happens?"

Xia Zhichu heard her irritable voice and realized what might have happened.

Chu Tiantian just said "see you in the car" and hung up the phone.

Xia Zhichu put away her phone, took out the car keys from her bag, opened the car door and got into the passenger seat.

Chu Tiantian was worried that she couldn't stay, so she gave her the car keys in advance.

Xia Zhichu leaned back in her chair. Although she had only been at the banquet for less than two hours, she felt exhausted both physically and mentally.

This kind of banquet for rich people is indeed not suitable for her.

Soon, Chu Tiantian came back.

After she got into the driver's seat, Xia Zhichu clearly saw the red marks on her face and immediately asked nervously, "What's wrong with your face?"

Chu Tiantian said irritably, "My dad beat me."

After he finished speaking, tears welled up in his eyes, and the next second he hugged Xia Zhichu, his voice choked with sobs, "He asked me to go home and inherit the family business. I refused, so he flew into a rage, saying I had no future in running that crappy studio and told me to close it immediately. I disagreed, and he threatened to freeze my funds and even slapped me in the face."

Chu Tiantian cried more and more aggrieved, and in the end she even wet Xia Zhichu's dress.

Xia Zhichu didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only raise his hand to pat her back, "Don't cry, you still have me. Although I don't have much ability, I support you spiritually."

Although both are rich people, Chu Tiantian and Zhao Sichun are in different situations.

Xia Zhichu knew that Chu Tiantian had always been at odds with her family, which led to her rebellious heart and unstable relationship.

In addition, Chu Tiantian was not interested in business. She secretly changed her major when studying abroad, and opened a studio directly after returning to China without going home. It is no wonder that her family would be angry.

But she didn't know what to say. After all, this was Tiantian's own preference. It would be unfair to her if she was forced to go home and inherit the family business.
