Chapter 159 Attending the Banquet
Early the next morning.
Xiao family.
The atmosphere in the hall was exceptionally quiet.
The three people from the Xiao family sat on the sofa with extremely serious expressions.
"Xiao Yucheng, what happened to the human trafficker last time? He hurt our good child, we can't let him go so easily!" Ms. Gao Yahui was the first to break the silence.
Xiao Yucheng rested his chin on his wrist and answered nonchalantly, "He's still in Zou Chi's hands, hanging on to his last breath. He's not dead yet."
Xiao Yucheng paused for a moment before finally asking, "So, are you going to bring Xiao Douyacai to the banquet today?"
"The president personally asked to meet the good kid, so we can't refuse." Xiao Hongshun said as a matter of course.
Three days ago, Moride suddenly sent a message saying that he was willing to sign a friendly agreement with the Caster Empire to share border resources.
After a fierce debate, the ministers finally agreed to the agreement with the Moride Empire.
But the Moride Empire seemed to have anticipated the Caster Empire's intentions, and the negotiators arrived in Caster a few days ago.
Today is a banquet specially held by the Caster Empire to welcome Moride diplomats.
Given the status of Xiao Yucheng's family, they should attend the banquet.
But the president of the empire specifically asked Xiao Taozhi to go as well, which is a bit unbelievable.
Xiao Yucheng spoke frankly, "What's that old bastard Sinkitz thinking?"
Sinkitz is the president of the Custer Empire. He is fifty years old this year and is the oldest president in Custer.
Xiao Yucheng always felt that this banquet was not simple and had a bit of the meaning of the Hongmen Banquet.
"You little brat, are you allowed to call the president by his name?"
Xiao Hongshun immediately gave Xiao Yucheng a slap on the face, "But you still have to be careful."
Xiao Hongshun is considered a veteran who assisted Sinkitz to the top. Even though he has not been with Sinkitz for many years, he knows very well that Sinkitz is a cunning man and he has to be on guard against him.
"Don't say anything else, wake up the kids first."
As soon as Gao Yahui finished speaking, she saw the confused little figure at the stairs.
Xiao Taozhi had just woken up and his brain was not fully turned on yet. There was a strand of hair standing up on the top of his head.
Seeing the three members of the Xiao family dressed very formally, Xiao Taozhi rubbed her eyes stupidly, feeling like she was dreaming, "Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, where are you going?"
"Little bean sprout, look at what daddy is wearing. Isn't he handsome?"
It was rare for Xiao Yucheng to wear a suit. The black jacket with white lining fit him meticulously, making him look more calm and composed besides his heroic spirit.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, his calm image collapsed.
"People who behave like humans should have some self-awareness."
Ms. Gao Yahui couldn't help but complain. She pushed Xiao Yucheng aside and said, "Good boy, today our grandfather's good friend invited us to his house for dinner. Go and get ready. We'll be leaving soon."
In order to prevent Xiao Taozhi from being overly nervous, Gao Yahui deliberately said that it was just a simple meal and did not tell her how grand the banquet was.
"Oh, okay~"
Little Taozhi ran up the stairs holding on to the stairs, and soon came downstairs swinging his short legs.
She wore a small yellow hat on her head and carried a little yellow duck cross-body bag.
Other than that, nothing has changed.
She was still wearing the same white and pink bunny sweatshirt, with a pleated skirt underneath and a pair of small leather shoes. She looked soft and cute.
Little Taozhi tilted her head back and asked Gao Yahui, "Grandma, is it okay for Zhizhi to dress like this?"
In the past, when bird friends came to visit the Fanluo Rain Forest, the trees and flowers would wash themselves with the morning dew or the rain to welcome the guests.
Grandma Meihua said that washing your face and wearing new clothes when guests come is a sign of respect for the guests.
But Zhizhi searched the wardrobe for a long time but couldn't find any new clothes.
"Of course!"
Gao Yahui pinched little Taozhi's sleepy face and said, "Our Zhizhi follows me and looks the most beautiful in whatever she wears!"
Xiao Yucheng: ...
I am her biological father, okay?
-
It was still early when the four members of the Xiao family arrived at Rody Palace.
Gao Yahui and Xiao Hongshun went to see Xin Kitz first, and Xiao Yucheng took Xiao Taozhi to the toilet.
Roddi Palace is the largest building in the Castel Empire and also the oldest palace in history. It has a purely European style and is full of luxury.
There was a tall sentry standing guard every five meters. No one dared to speak loudly and the atmosphere inside was extremely serious.
Xiao Taozhi gradually became nervous.
She was a little uncomfortable, and her little hands held Xiao Yucheng tightly, not letting go.
Little Taozhi hid behind Xiao Yucheng, and carefully looked at everything in this magnificent building with her smart deer eyes.
She whispered, "Dad, Grandpa's friend's house is so big."
The two of them sat in the mobility scooter and it took them ten minutes to reach the nearest toilet.
Xiao Yucheng suddenly took out a magnetic bracelet from his pocket, carefully put it on Xiao Taozhi, and said:
"Go ahead. I'll wait for you outside. Call me if you need anything. I can hear you. Or you can use this to call me. Does the optical magnetic ring work?"
"Yes! Don't worry, Daddy, Zhizhi will be back soon."
Lu Ting had taught her how to use the photomagnetic ring before.
Thinking of this, Xiao Taozhi's expression suddenly became serious.
After she was rescued from the human traffickers by Xiao Yucheng, she went to the hospital with Xiao Yucheng to visit Assistant Zhang.
But it was an unfortunate coincidence that she arrived. When she arrived, Assistant Zhang's condition worsened and he fainted again.
The little guy sighed heavily.
I don’t know how Mr. Lu and Mr. Bo are doing in the Federation?
The toilet is very big.
Xiao Taozhi went in from the corridor, turned left and right several times before reaching the toilet door.
The little guy came out of the toilet.
But the hand-washing sink outside was too high and the little guy couldn't reach it at all.
She moved a small stool over, stretched out her little feet, stepped on the stool, and placed her two white and tender little paws on the sensor.
But.
There was no water coming out of the faucet.
"Hey, what's going on?"
Little Taozhi came closer and tilted his little head to take a closer look.
She grunted as she got off the bench and moved to another sink.
But there was no water in the other sink either.
The little guy was depressed.
At this time.
A tall and thin figure appeared beside Xiao Taozhi and stood in front of the pool she had just used.
The man bent his body slightly, holding down his burgundy striped tie with one hand while extending his other hand to the sensor.
A moment.
The water gushed out.
Little Taozhi pouted unhappily, staring angrily at the faucet with her large, dull eyes, and cursed softly, "You big bad bastard."
There is no water for her to wash her hands!
immediately.
She gently tugged at the corner of the man's suit next to her, looked up at him, and her voice was as sweet as glutinous rice cakes: "Uncle, can you help me open this water?"
