Chapter 191: Building a Bridge and Stirring Up the Fire
Lin Fenfang had a smile on her lips. She agreed with Aunt Zhou's words very much. These two people dressed like this, they didn't look like real people anymore. They seemed out of reach.
The driver was waiting downstairs. After the two got in the car, it drove towards the hotel.
The birthday banquet was held in the Li family’s own five-star hotel.
The Li family is an old and aristocratic family in the capital. A hundred years ago, they were a well-known and famous family in the capital.
Although the family's wealth is not among the top now, the family's foundation and connections are still there. Except for those ignorant nouveau riche and the wealthy people in Beijing, everyone will give the Li family some face.
So today, almost all the prominent families in the capital came to the birthday party of the old lady of the Li family.
The parking lot is crowded with luxury cars, and it is not easy to find a parking space. This is why Qi Mo brought a driver today.
They got out of the car and took the elevator upstairs.
The hotel has heating and the temperature is very high.
When we arrived at the entrance of the banquet hall, a waitress took the guests' coats and hung them in a special display room.
Lin Xi was wearing an evening dress and Qi Mo was wearing a suit, and they walked in arm in arm.
There are quite a lot of people in the hall.
Li Xiaoqiu was facing the gate with her back, talking to some girls of similar age. Suddenly, she saw the girl opposite her staring at the door in a daze with her lips slightly open.
Li Xiaoqiu turned around and saw Lin Xi coming in with Qi Mo's arm around her.
Lin Xi was wearing an evening gown made of black and burgundy velvet, which made her look snow-white and somewhat dazzling under the light.
Qi Mo was wearing a black suit and a burgundy bow tie, and the two seemed to be wearing couple outfits.
This pair of men and women are both handsome and beautiful, and most importantly, they have a very strong aura, which makes people unconsciously want to worship them.
Li Xiaoqiu smiled and turned to the girls and said, "My friend is here. I'll go over first."
Li Xiaoqiu walked over, holding up her skirt. Several girls behind her whispered, "Is that Lin Xi?"
"It's her. Next to her is Qi Mo."
"These two are not really dating."
"Isn't dating good? I like both of them. They're a perfect couple, which suits my taste."
"I know Lin Xi is Xiao Qiu's friend, but why is Qi Mo here too? Is he here as Lin Xi's male companion?"
A girl whispered, "You didn't know? He's the prince of Guanhai Group."
There were low exclamations all around. Although Qi Mo's appearance made these rich girls admire him, almost everyone knew that being handsome was useless for a man except for his good looks.
After all, the person they are looking for must be someone of equal social status. If Qi Mo only has a face and a little fame, he is not worthy of them.
As the crown prince of Guanhai Group, his identity can only make them look up to him.
In an instant, their slight contempt for Qi Mo's dependence on Lin Xi turned into jealousy of Lin Xi.
Qin Shiyun and her sister were also standing among the group of girls. Qin Shiyun looked at Lin Xi and was so angry.
After being rudely driven away by Qi Mo that day, she never saw him again.
The two families had agreed to get engaged before the end of the year, but it's already been January and there's still no movement.
Qi Mo's mother Bai Lan said that he didn't need to care about what Qi Mo thought, and he would have to listen to her in the end. She asked the Qin family to wait a little longer, and after the Chinese New Year, she would force Qi Mo to get engaged no matter what.
Qi Mo looked down on Qin Shiyun. Although the Qin family felt embarrassed, they did not want to give up.
Because the young masters from various families in the capital are either playboys who only know how to eat, drink and have fun, or they have no abilities and are too mediocre. Compared with Qi Mo, they are far inferior.
In particular, Qi Mo had just returned to China not long ago and took over a company under Guanhai Group. In less than half a year, the company's performance improved significantly.
Qin Shiyun and her daughter felt a bit overwhelmed by Qi Mo's past experiences, so they agreed with Bai Lan's words and planned to wait until the New Year to see what happened.
Let’s see who will be the final winner between Bai Lan and her son.
It was the first time that Qin Shiyun saw Qi Mo in formal attire.
There is no doubt that Qi Mo is very suitable for formal wear.
His suit must have been tailor-made, from the shoulders to the waist, it fits perfectly, wide where it should be wide and narrow where it should be narrow. He is tall and has long legs, he is really a walking clothes rack.
Qin Shiyun bit her lip. A man like this was only one step away from her. How could she possibly give in to such a bad guy?
She stared at Qi Mo for a while, then walked towards her mother.
Mrs. Qin hadn't seen Qi Mo and Lin Xi yet, and was chatting with a few other ladies.
Qin Shiyun whispered a few words in her ear, and Mrs. Qin suddenly looked at the two of them.
Li Xiaoqiu had already gone over and was talking to Lin Xi. Qi Mo stood behind Lin Xi, looking like a guardian.
Mrs. Qin became more and more angry as she watched, and she stood up and called Bai Lan.
Her tone was very cold. "I say, Mrs. Qi, I think we should just forget about what you said last time about Shiyun and Qi Mo. Our family can't afford to lose this person."
Bai Lan frowned, "What's wrong? Didn't we agree on this?"
Mrs. Qin said angrily, "Your young master is too good for us, Shiyun!"
"Everyone who should be attending the birthday party of Mrs. Li in Beijing has come, but your Qi Mo is just following Lin Xi around. I think you can't beat your son, so forget it."
Bai Lan's expression changed, and her voice was sharp, "He actually brought that woman to the birthday party?"
Mrs. Qin snorted, "You are such an incompetent mother. You don't even know such a thing!"
As she was speaking, she saw Qi Mo and Lin Xi walking towards the old man and old lady of the Qi family.
The old lady smiled at Lin Xi, holding her hand and saying something inaudible.
Mr. Qi also looked amiable.
Mrs. Qin snorted coldly, "Forget it, let's just call it a day on the marriage—"
As soon as she said this, Qin Shiyun beside her kept pulling her clothes with an anxious look on her face.
Mrs. Qin glared at her and continued, "I see that your old man and old lady are very satisfied with Lin Xi as their granddaughter-in-law."
"You can't beat the three of them alone!"
Bai Lan's face turned completely cold and he hung up the phone without saying a word.
It doesn't matter whether the Qin family goes through with this marriage or not.
But Qi Mo can't escape from her control.
And the old man and the old lady, they have no right to interfere in Qi Mo's affairs.
Mrs. Qin's last words were undoubtedly fanning the flames. That woman just wanted to see her have a quarrel with her parents-in-law and son. Haha, if she won, Qin Shiyun could marry into the Qi family.
Even if she loses, Mrs. Qin won't lose anything.
What a good plan.
Bai Lan took a deep breath and resisted the urge to rush to the birthday party.
It's not that she is sensible and doesn't want to cause trouble at the party.
The main reason is that it’s too late.
If she goes, she has to pick out a dress, jewelry, do her hair and makeup, and it will take at least several hours to finish all of this.
She thought about it, stood up, picked up the landline and dialed, "Prepare the car, I need to go out in a while."
