Chapter 148 The Banquet Begins! Jin Wu is the Crown Princess
Six o'clock in the evening.
The main hall was decorated grandly and magnificently, with a red carpet stretching from the reception desk at the entrance all the way to the center of the hall. Countless invited families from Kyoto's wealthy circle came in droves.
The scene was crowded with media, and the sounds of shutter clicks and flashes were overwhelming.
The Duan family's banquet to celebrate their Crown Princess to the world had not even officially begun, but the atmosphere was already very lively and exciting.
Various related terms also quickly became hot searches on various platforms such as Weibo.
Xia Ying, who was standing at the forefront of the reporting, obtained the exclusive reporting rights for the entire event and was instructing her assistants to turn on the equipment and start the online live broadcast.
As soon as the live broadcast started, countless netizens immediately flocked to the scene.
"Thank you for your generosity, big brother, for letting me see what the legendary Platinum King looks like (bowing with both hands in piety)"
"Wow, there are so many people (Sister Zhou's emoji)"
"Is this the capital of a top-tier wealthy family? Even simply revealing their identities can be treated with such grandeur. I'm crying tears of envy!"
"Rounding it off, I can be considered to have participated in the boss's party (Head held high) (Adjusts tie) (Steps confidently)"
Jin Ruilin and his family were dressed in bright and beautiful clothes and walked in with an invitation letter in hand.
When the Duan family sent the invitation letter a few days ago, he thought he was dazzled or that it was sent to the wrong person.
After all, although the Jin family ranks among the wealthy circles, it is still dwarfed by top chaebols like the Duan family, and there is no chance at all to participate in a banquet of this level.
Unexpectedly, the Duan family not only sent the invitation letter personally, but also allocated the most important main table to them!
What does this mean?
This shows that the Jin family still has some strength, otherwise how could they be noticed by the person in charge of the Duan Group and want to cooperate with them!
Jin Ruilin's mouth curled up.
Suddenly, his mind inexplicably recalled a while ago when Zhou Yaning, his lover number nth who he had long forgotten, suddenly came to his door again.
With a mysterious look on his face, he said who had favored his daughter and asked him to be prepared to support her to take the position.
Jin Ruilin sneered with disdain.
How funny!
It's already good enough that I can support them now, but they actually teamed up with such a stupid lie to deceive his trust.
He had heard rumors a long time ago that Fu Yuchen, the young master of the Fu family, had dumped Jin Wu.
An illegitimate daughter who can't even marry into a wealthy family is worthless.
It was simply not worth it for him to risk being criticized by his family and the board of directors by accepting her home.
"Oh, isn't this Mr. Jin? You were also invited by the Duan family?"
"Mr. Jiang, you've been invited too."
"I didn't expect the Duan family to be so arrogant and never socialize with small families like us. I didn't expect that they would take the initiative to invite us to their banquet today. It's incredible."
Jin Ruilin followed the waiters in the banquet hall to the main table area.
He saw a group of familiar faces who had attended his family dinner before.
Although they didn't know why the Duan family suddenly invited them, since they were valued by such a top chaebol family, there must be a reason why they were valued.
Maybe the Duan family was impressed by their strength and wanted to cooperate with them, so they took advantage of this banquet to get to know them.
If they could really establish a good relationship with the Duan family, their status in the wealthy circle of Kyoto would be able to rise to a higher level!
The invited guests continued to arrive in an orderly manner.
Qin Yiyao arrived wearing a dress "carefully" selected by Yu Jiu.
Not only did the young masters and young ladies from other families at the scene show disgusted and amused expressions on their faces, but even the netizens in the live broadcast room laughed at them mercilessly.
"...Ah, is this some kind of unique outfit for rich people?"
"She looks like a colorful chicken (no offense)"
"Aren't these all deadstock from high-end luxury brands? How did she manage to wear all these unwanted, unsold items so precisely? Is she just born with a penchant for picking up discarded junk?"
"Hahahahaha help! The first joke of tonight's banquet has appeared!"
"But why does her mouth look so swollen? Like she got hit."
Qin Yiyao faced the gazes from all around, clenched her slightly swollen lips, and walked forward with her head held high.
I'm so angry!
This was completely different from how she had imagined appearing before!
What she had thought before was that if she dressed up beautifully, she would be able to attract the admiration of the young men and women.
Instead of dressing like an old hen like now and facing their ridicule!
"Ms. Qin, this is your seat."
Following the waiter's guidance, Qin Yiyao looked at the main table in front of her, and her originally indignant expression instantly turned into ecstasy.
Oh my god!
She must have seen it right!
The Duan family actually let her sit at the front table!?
You have to know that families that rank higher than her Qin family in the wealthy circle only sit at the back, but she actually got a seat at the main table as soon as she arrived!
Qin Yiyao's brows were filled with joy, and all the resentment she had towards Yu Jiu and the old lady was instantly cleared away.
It seems that the Duan family still values her.
Otherwise, how could she be arranged to sit in such a front seat?
Fu Yuchen was the last to arrive.
As usual when attending banquets, he was dressed in a suit and tie with his hair neatly combed.
But it still couldn't hide the fatigue and haggardness between his brows. It was obvious to the naked eye that his mental state was extremely poor, and he looked like he was about to fall apart at any time.
Not only were the people at the scene surprised, but even the netizens in the live broadcast room couldn't help but get agitated again.
"Oh my god, this is the eldest son of the Fu family? I used to see him so energetic in public, why does he suddenly look so dejected now? It's like he's been dumped."
"Looking at it now, the one in charge of the Duan family is still the best! A man like Mr. Duan, wild, lustful, and full of hormones, is my XP!"
"Yes, yes, yes. The current eldest son of the Fu family looks like he can only work for a minute, but our Mr. Duan looks like he can work all day long!"
"? Something's wrong with you upstairs."
"Brother Yuchen, you're here."
When Qin Yiyao saw that Fu Yuchen could actually sit at the main table, a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes.
But she soon put on her delicate and harmless smile that men would like again, "So you were invited by the Duan family too?"
As she approached, the pungent smell of perfume instantly became strong.
Fu Yuchen was already upset, and now he was even more impatient.
He didn't even care about the gentle and refined image he usually pretended to be outside. He frowned and shouted angrily, "Don't touch me, stay away from me."
"And don't bother me anymore."
Fu Yuchen glanced at Qin Yiyao's lips with disgust, feeling extremely regretful.
What on earth was wrong with him that night? He was so crazy as to kiss that woman on the mouth!
If he hadn't made this mistake in the heat of the moment, Jin Kiri would not have left him.
She would not have married Duan Shiyan, and there would not have been the public banquet that was about to begin.
Fu Yuchen stared at the stage not far in front of him, thinking that Duan Shiyan would bring Jin Wu here to officially announce their relationship.
He clenched his hands on his knees, and his eyes were once again filled with a layer of sour scarlet.
Suddenly.
Fu Yuchen glanced at the familiar faces at the main table around him, and his whole body suddenly stiffened.
These people...
They are all people who have mocked and bullied Jin Wu...!
There were people who, when I was young, ignored family ties and abandoned me.
There was someone who locked Imagiri in the basement of the Imakura family when he was a child.
There was someone who had mocked and ridiculed Jin Xiangli's background in front of her when she was in high school.
And also... as a boyfriend, he openly kissed another woman and trampled on Jin Xiangli's feelings.
Fu Yuchen suddenly stood there in a daze.
An indescribable panic, and the belated realization that the Duan family would arrange for all of them to sit at the main table, suddenly struck his heart like an electric shock.
Just when he was still a little dazed.
Duan Qinghe, Duan Shiyan's father, walked onto the stage with his wife, Yu Jiu. With an air of authority and prestige, he announced, "Thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedules to attend this public banquet co-hosted by our Duan family. Now it's time to formally introduce tonight's protagonists."
The whole audience burst into excited applause.
Under the gaze of everyone, under the spotlight of the media, as well as the people sitting at the main table, and the panicked Fu Yuchen who raised his head, all gathered towards the door.
Two well-matched figures walked in slowly.
The woman was wearing a fishtail long dress with a blue star gradient, which seemed to integrate the night stars into it. With every step she took, the skirt sparkled with delicate crystal diamonds and flowed like the Milky Way.
Her black hair was braided and tied up, and the diamond crown on her head was noble and shining. Her face, slightly made up, was cool and beautiful, and her eyes, as bright as the moon, were shining with a beautiful and charming brightness.
It looks like a camellia in full bloom, exuding noble beauty.
“This…..This is…..!!?”
This moment.
Everyone sitting at the main table stared intently at the face of the woman held by Duan Shiyan. Suddenly, they were all shocked and their faces turned pale.
Isn't this Imagiri!?
