Chapter 773 She actually came too.
He should have guessed that Shen Ci wouldn't be so "well-behaved," but he really didn't expect it to be such a big "surprise"!
Eight hundred and eighty-eight yuan?
Shen Ci's wealth and power are constantly redefining my understanding of what's truly impressive!
Seeing that the person in charge of registration was about to put Shen Ci's name and amount after his own, Su Zheyuan quickly reminded him, "Don't put her with me, put her on a separate page!"
The difference in the amount of the gift money was too great; he couldn't afford to lose face like that!
Shen Ci smiled helplessly: "I didn't mean to embarrass you. I'm just showing my respect to Master Yu."
"Then you should have let me know in advance!"
"What? I told you beforehand, so you're allowed to give the same amount of money as me as a wedding gift?"
One sentence instantly dampened Su Zheyuan's spirits. He curled his lip and said, "Fine, you're rich, so you're the boss. Maybe this way Master Yu will remember you!"
"Really?" Shen Ci was a little excited because she sincerely admired Master Yu and was very curious: "Will he speak to me alone?"
"Heh, you're really overthinking it." Su Zheyuan bluntly woke her up: "Don't you even look at the kind of people who came today? How many of them can actually speak to Master Yu alone?"
"Let me tell you, I really had to do a lot of work to help you with that feng shui consultation last time. Master Yu usually doesn't personally handle these kinds of situations."
"He's too old to handle all that."
Upon hearing this, Shen Ci said, "Then I should thank you properly, right?"
"There's no need for thanks between us, but it's no secret that Master Yu loves money, so the amount of your gift will definitely catch his attention, and he'll definitely remember you."
Shen Ci laughed. The master loves money; that's true and unconventional.
Who doesn't love money?
Her greatest love is money, which is something she shares with the master's interests.
The courtyard was bustling with activity. The people there were from similar social circles, and most of them knew each other well. Many people took advantage of the situation to get closer to others and expand their network.
Li Wanchang and his wife attended a banquet and unexpectedly ran into Qiu Chu, chairman of the Qiu Group, and his daughter Qiu Keying.
Because of Qiu Keying and Li Xiao's relationship, the relationship between the two families has also undergone a subtle change compared to before, at least they are closer now.
Qiu Keying, in particular, was very proactive and enthusiastic towards the Li Wanchang couple.
"Uncle and Aunt, what a coincidence!"
Qiu Keying was dressed very elegantly and beautifully today, and she was radiant. Mrs. Li was very satisfied with her son's girlfriend, especially considering the Qiu family's wealth. So she had already decided in her heart that the girl was their future daughter-in-law.
"Keying, you look absolutely gorgeous today. Your clothes are beautiful, your hairstyle is beautiful, and your jewelry is beautiful too," Mrs. Li praised, her face beaming with delight.
Qiu Keying touched the necklace around her neck and said happily, "Thank you for the compliment, Auntie. You look beautiful today too. This necklace was a gift from Li Xiao."
Qiu Chu looked at his daughter with a smile, then looked up at Li Wanchang and said softly, "Keying has been talking about missing Li Xiao these past few days and wants to go abroad to see him."
Upon hearing this, Li Wanchang quickly said, "Ke Ying is a girl, so there's no need for her to travel back and forth. As soon as Li Xiao has some free time, I'll have him come back to see Ke Ying."
Mrs. Li chimed in, "That's right. It must be tough for these two kids to be dating in different countries, but that's only temporary. The effort and hardship should be borne by Li Xiao. He's a man, so it's only right that he feels sorry for Keying."
The couple were unusually in sync, both knowing they needed to pave the way for their son.
"Uncle and Aunt, I am willing to do anything for Li Xiao. I don't think it's hard. Dating is a matter between two people. If he is busy, I am willing to go to him."
Qiu Keying was deeply moved by the words of Li Wanchang and his wife, and her love-struck mind went blank for a moment. She said she was willing to run back and forth to see Li Xiao.
As a father, Qiu Chu did not object. Based on what he had seen, he thought Li Xiao was a good kid. He was satisfied with his own conditions and family background, and most importantly, his daughter liked him.
"Keying is right. Dating is a matter between two people, and it is only right that they take care of each other."
Upon hearing this, Mr. and Mrs. Li exchanged a smile. Mrs. Li then said, "Then it should be Li Xiao who takes better care of Keying. Keying is Chairman Qiu's precious daughter, and we will never let her suffer even the slightest grievance with Li Xiao."
These words made it sound as if Qiu Keying was about to marry Li Xiao, causing Qiu Keying's face to blush.
But the next second, Qiu Keying caught a glimpse of a stunning profile out of the corner of her eye.
It wasn't that she looked at it intentionally, but rather that she was inadvertently drawn to that figure.
Not only her, but many people present, because of that figure, consciously or unconsciously focused their attention on her.
As Shen Ci, arm in arm with Su Zheyuan, passed through the front courtyard and arrived at the main courtyard, people recognized her from time to time and took the initiative to come up and greet her and chat.
The opening remarks from everyone were remarkably consistent, all praising Shen Ci for being breathtakingly beautiful today.
He instantly became the focus of attention the moment he appeared; this was an innate ability of Shen Ci.
Qiu Keying narrowed her eyes and asked doubtfully, "She actually came too?"
The Li Wanchang couple naturally noticed Shen Ci as well. Mrs. Li's face stiffened, and she moved her lips but didn't dare to make a sound.
She learned her lesson and, fearing she would cause trouble for her husband again and be sent abroad, she also developed a fear of Shen Ci.
Li Wanchang remained calm and asked in a low voice, "Does Keying know her?"
Qiu Keying nodded, then looked at her father beside her and said, "Dad, it was her who cancelled your and my Shuiyun Club memberships!"
Upon hearing this, Qiu Chu looked at Shen Ci with a more inquisitive gaze: "Is it that little girl?"
"That's right. Not only did she acquire 'Yunshang Tiangong,' she's also the largest shareholder of 'Shuiyunjian.' Because of her, I don't even have a place to go when I go out with my friends anymore."
Qiu Keying was furious when she brought up the matter. Although her membership had been cancelled, she could still go in and out of these two places with her friends who were still members.
But Qiu Keying was proud and arrogant, so she would never go to Shen Ci's place again, and had to choose another place each time.
As a result, over time, many friends stopped inviting her to gatherings, because most people still preferred "Shuiyunjian" and "Yunshangtiangong".
Because whether it's the overall environment, the restaurant's taste, or other value-added services, these two places represent the pinnacle of high-end clubs.
As a result, some of her friends have gradually distanced themselves from her, and they will deliberately block her from their social media posts at gatherings.
Qiu Chu had mentioned this person to his daughter before, and slowly looked at Li Wanchang, asking, "I heard that Li Xiao and this young lady have some kind of grudge?"
