He didn't dare to come back and report directly. Instead, he knocked on the windows of several cars in succession, which made things even more awkward.

None of these people came to Xie Ziyuan's birthday party.

The assistant couldn't help but ask, "So what brings you to Linjiang City?"

His question was somewhat presumptuous, but thankfully it was directed at the driver, not the VIPs in the back seat.

"What for? Of course, it's to attend our young lady's family reunion banquet!"

Before the assistant could ask any questions, the car in front started moving forward, and the driver quickly followed.

The assistant returned to the car and explained the situation to Huo Yuntang, then hesitated for a moment: "The driver was talking about a family reunion banquet..."

And by sheer coincidence, he knew that the person who was about to hold a family reunion banquet at the Whale Hotel was Xie Li.

It's no wonder the assistant suspected Xie Li; there were just too many coincidences.

Although he didn't show it, Huo Yuntang basically understood his unspoken meaning, and his eyes turned cold: "You're overthinking it."

If Xie Li really had the ability to get to know so many important people, why would she have been arbitrarily driven away in the capital?

Moreover, he didn't believe that a mere village girl could have that ability.

Tonight, Xie Li's family reunion banquet is destined to be ignored, becoming a laughing stock in the entire elite circle of Linjiang City.

"Yun Tang went to pick up Xie Li?" Ding Huizhu was somewhat surprised when she heard Wan Sao's report.

She glanced at Xie Ziyuan with some concern. "You asked him to go?"

Xie Ziyuan did not deny it, but said with a smile: "It's good to bring my sister over. I can introduce her to everyone and she can take care of me in the future."

It was as if the fight over the luxury car had never happened; there was no resentment on their faces or in their hearts.

Ding Huizhu genuinely admires Xie Ziyuan's generous and poised personality, but feels even more sorry for her. "As her younger sister, she should have come to celebrate your birthday."

Grandpa Xie insisted on challenging her, and even held a family reunion banquet at the hotel next door.

Although she knew that the deal was doomed to fail, she still felt very uncomfortable and extremely averse to it.

"They just said from the Xishan Sanatorium that Grandpa has gone to the Baijing Hotel." Xie Ziyuan said with a worried look on her face. "The toxins in his body haven't been removed yet, and we don't know how he is now..."

She even specially asked Xie Zhendong to send Fangxin Tang to Xishan Sanatorium, but the old man Xie was still so stubborn. As soon as he felt a little better, he went straight to Baijing Hotel.

Even crossing the river and then discarding the bridge is shameless enough!

Fortunately, Xie Zhendong said that Grandpa Xie only drank one sip of the soup and stubbornly refused to drink any more.

It seems he can only manage this short distance; once he reaches the hotel, he might faint immediately.

After all, he was her father-in-law, so Ding Huizhu was a little worried: "Do you still have that 'heart-warming soup'? Should I send someone over to bring the old man and Xie Li over?"

Xie Ziyuan smiled and said, "That's exactly what I was thinking. Let's send Zi'an; it will be both formal and polite."

Ding Huizhu and she couldn't leave; they needed to stay here to entertain guests.

Xie Zian is the only grandson who has ever been favored by Grandpa Xie over the years. Grandpa Xie may not care about Ding Huizhu and Xie Ziyuan, but he will definitely give face to Xie Zian.

Xie Zian was soon summoned over.

The boy's eyes and brows were cold and distant, but neither Ding Huizhu nor Xie Ziyuan noticed.

Especially Xie Ziyuan, who had deliberately ignored Xie Zian since he appeared today, felt much more at ease seeing his dejected expression.
