Chapter 398 Hua Family Banquet
"Wen, family." This was something Wen Ni hadn't expected.
"I want that person to know that abandoning us and losing us was the worst decision he ever made in his life. I want him to regret it, to suffer, to be jealous, to never get what he wants, and to live a life of regret!" Wen Cheng clenched his fists excitedly.
“Xiao Cheng, we don’t need to punish ourselves with hatred for others.” Wen Ni touched Wen Cheng’s hair. “The past is the past. Now we’ll keep to ourselves and no longer need them in our lives.”
"Sister..." Wen Cheng pursed her lips, "Brother Lu, do you think so too?"
“My thoughts are largely the same as Wen Ni’s.” Lu Jinye, who had been listening silently, finally spoke up. “This banquet at the Hua family is to celebrate your return to the Hua family. Hua Baichuan also knows about what happened between your mother and the Wen family. I think that neither the Hua family nor your mother’s spirit in heaven would want to see anyone related to Wen Yuanshan again!”
“I understand…” Xiao Cheng’s eyes were red. “I acted too impulsively.”
“You did nothing wrong.” Wen Ni’s eyes were gentle. “It’s just that whether we’re doing well or not doesn’t need other people’s opinions to prove it.”
"Um!"
"Qin Yuan went to buy some things, I don't know when she'll be back." Lu Jinye stood up and rolled up his sleeves. "I'll get you guys something to eat first."
"Brother Lu can cook?"
"It tastes pretty good!" Wen Ni nodded.
A warm atmosphere filled the three-person room.
Under the cover of night, thousands of lights shine.
The Hua family's banquet was held at the Zongheng International Premier Banquet Hall, the largest banquet hall in Gotham City!
"Isn't this Vansi?"
"I'm so beautiful!"
"I didn't expect the Hua family to invite an international star this time!"
The guests who arrived early all turned their attention to the woman who walked gracefully from the entrance of the banquet hall!
Those attending this banquet were all celebrities and dignitaries, all dressed in suits and elegant gowns.
Vansi was no exception.
Moreover, she was wearing an even more expensive and eye-catching Chanel tulle fishtail dress studded with rhinestones, with hand-embroidered hem, making her extremely dazzling as soon as she appeared!
"Fanxi, look! Their eyes are glued to you! As expected, our superstar Fanxi is always the most dazzling star wherever she goes!" Xiaowei, her best friend who came with her, laughed proudly.
“I didn’t intend to keep a low profile on this trip!” Fanxi said arrogantly, raising his head. “Lu Jinye clarified his relationship with me online, pretending to be aloof and not easily associating with people, but in private he has a very close relationship with this so-called heiress of the Hua family who was left behind! If you hadn’t asked around for me, I would still be in the dark.”
"How dare she try to steal someone from our Vansi? She won't be able to hold this banquet in peace!" Xiao Wei laughed heartily and whispered, "I've made all the arrangements. Just wait and see how she makes a fool of herself! Let's see how the Shi Hua family will still recognize her, and how Lu Jinye will view her!"
"Xiao Wei, you're the most reliable one~"
The two men, Fan and Xi, exchanged a smile.
Their eyes met, and they happened to see two more people entering the banquet hall.
The boy was over 1.8 meters tall, wearing a clean and neat white shirt and casual pants. He had a handsome and bright face, and his hair was a simple short haircut with choppy bangs. Just standing there, he exuded a clear and youthful aura!
The girl next to him was only half a head shorter than him.
She was also dressed in white, but in the most sheer blue-and-white floral-patterned cheongsam with a slit, which hugged her beautiful figure. Her hair was short, barely long enough to be clipped back with a hair clip, with a few wisps falling naturally at her temples. Her face, lightly made up, bore a resemblance to a young man, exuding a pure and otherworldly charm, and every gesture she made carried an innate extraordinary air!
"Whose family are these two?"
"Never seen it before."
Other guests were curious.
Vansi, however, recognized them at a glance.
"Isn't this the young owner of Baoxiangzhai?"
"Young boss, with such a distinguished status, how come you can attend this banquet?"
Xiao Wei stepped forward with a teasing smile!
"Baoxiangzhai..."
"Isn't that a jade shop that suddenly sprang up in the last year?"
"I heard they have a prized possession there, worth a whopping 100 million!"
"It's all just a gimmick." Xiaowei rolled her eyes. "A marketing tactic by businesses!"
"You talk like you know everything." Tang Zi, dressed in a light-colored evening gown, walked over and stood next to Wen Ni, her hostile gaze sweeping over Fan Xi and Xiao Wei. "Pretending to know what you don't, misleading others here!"
"You really are everywhere." Vansi gave Tang Zi a disapproving look. "The Hua family banquet, they actually invited someone of your caliber?"
"What level am I? What's wrong with being this level?" Tang Zi sneered. "I'm still better than you, dressed like a butterfly. Anyone who didn't know better would think you were the long-lost heiress of the Hua family!"
"Pfft." Xiao Cheng couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"What's so funny? What's so funny? Our Vansi is a big star, she has natural charisma! She's eye-catching no matter what she wears!" Xiao Wei retorted.
"Really? But in my opinion, although my sister's clothes are simple and low-key, she is young, beautiful, and has an extraordinary temperament, clearly superior to you!" Tang Zi retorted, her words sharp and sarcastic!
The onlookers stirred slightly.
"Master Chuan and Young Master Zhuo are out!"
Wen Ni and Fan Xi and the others turned to look at the same time.
Two people in sharp suits walked out from backstage right in front of the banquet hall!
The former was slightly burly, with a resolute face, his bangs combed upwards into a slicked-back style, and a few strands of silver hair adorning his hair.
The latter was tall, broad-shouldered, and long-legged, with a handsome appearance and an unruly air about him.
They were Hua Baichuan and Hua Zhuo!
"Master Chuan, Young Master Zhuo!"
"Um."
They walked towards the banquet hall entrance.
Wherever they went, guests nodded and greeted them, and some even took the initiative to shake hands and exchange pleasantries!
However, they only responded politely and did not linger, their footsteps clearly heading straight for Wen Ni.
Hua Zhuo spotted Xiao Cheng and the others from afar, raised his eyebrows slightly in greeting, and smiled.
"Fanxi, you have such a big reputation!" Xiaowei excitedly grabbed Fanxi's arm. "Master Chuan and Young Master Zhuo actually came to greet you in person!"
"Heh~" Tang Zi crossed her arms and sneered disdainfully.
Then she turned her head, winked at Wen Ni, and silently exaggerated Xiao Wei's mannerisms a hundred times with her mouth!
Wen Ni's lips curled up at her amusement, but she shook her head helplessly.
“You probably don’t know, do you? We, Fanxi, grew up in the same military compound as Lu Jinye! The Fan family is a well-known military family in Gotham City! Our status and position are naturally beyond what you businessmen can compare to!” Xiao Wei seemed to be Fanxi’s spokesperson.
"Thank you so much, sister." Tang Zi laughed so hard her shoulders trembled. "You guys talk about Fan Xi and Lu Jinye growing up in the same military compound everywhere you go! Not to mention the whole world, at least the whole country knows, right? They just grew up in the same compound, not in the same bed. Is it really necessary to keep bringing it up every day?"
"I can't take it anymore, I really can't hold it in!" Xiao Cheng hid behind Wen Ni, laughing from ear to ear. "This sister has such a sharp tongue."
"Tang Zi...!"
Vansi's expression shifted between light and shadow, but due to his noble status, he refrained from personally intervening.
"We at Vansi are of high quality and won't stoop to your level!" Xiaowei was speechless with anger. "Just wait and see, you'll be proven wrong soon!"
