The moment Jiang's father saw Ye Qi, he immediately took a liking to her. He realized that Ye Qi was his youngest daughter's favorite friend, and his wife had also explained how important Ye Qi was to their youngest daughter.
She already had the filter of her daughter's love for her, and now that she saw Ye Qi in real life, she was even more satisfied.
Not only did Ye Qi herself win his favor, but the Ye family was also a sensible and humorous family.
Although it was the two daughters who became friends that brought them together.
Surprisingly, within just a few words, both parties were very satisfied with each other and intended to take the relationship further.
When Jiang's father saw that Ye Jingyan was calm and composed, showed no fear in his conversation, was confident but not arrogant, knew when to advance and retreat, and was humble yet considerate of the feelings of his elders—
Looking at her son who could only babble, she silently rubbed her forehead, hoping for the future and praying that her son would improve.
Even a little bit will do.
Seeing that the younger generation was ready, Jiang's father tentatively asked, "It's getting late, shall we set off?"
Ye Ji: "Okay."
As soon as Ye Qi stepped out of her house, she saw more than a dozen luxury cars parked neatly and extravagantly in front of her door.
Ye Qi: "..."
Is there really a need to flaunt wealth like this?
Jiang Yihuan understood her gaze: "There's nothing I can do, I'm helpless too."
The two families traveled together to the Si family's residence.
The banquet venue chosen by the Si family was not the Si family's main villa, but one of their villas.
Even a small villa used for hosting banquets is incredibly luxurious.
Ye Qi walked towards the Si family's gate.
The inspector carefully examined the invitation letter submitted by Ye Ji. Seeing that the invitation letter clearly stated that it was for the Ye family, he let them through without any hesitation.
Not only Ye Qi's family came to the banquet, but also Ye Yunzhan and Shi Yun, although they would arrive later.
Behind him, Jiang's father handed the invitation to the inspector.
The inspector quickly stepped aside to let them pass.
As soon as they entered the gate, a waiter led them and helped guide them into the hall.
The main hall is decorated in a low-key yet luxurious style, with a magnificent and opulent interior.
The gleaming floor reflects the guests' figures, every wall pattern is uniquely and luxuriously designed, antiques are displayed everywhere, showcasing the owner's extraordinary taste, and every inconspicuous place is adorned with luxury decorations.
The crystal chandelier on the ceiling reflects shimmering light, which falls into the clinking glasses of the banquet, illuminating the noise of the crowd and the prelude to the feast.
Long tables everywhere are laden with countless delicacies and desserts, a feast for the eyes.
Melodious music drifted in, weaving through the crowd and flowing to the corners. The aroma of wine and perfume mingled and scattered like fireworks, filling Ye Qi's nose.
Ye Qi glanced over and saw men in clean suits chatting happily, while elegant ladies were swirling their wine glasses and juices.
Ye Qi looked around; she didn't have a single friend present.
They don't seem to have arrived yet.
Even Si Yuelin was not there.
Feeling bored, Ye Qi grabbed a few snacks and some juice and wandered around, eventually ending up at the door.
Seeing a familiar figure at the door, he found a good vantage point to watch the drama unfold, and when no one was looking, he pulled a small stool from his ring, used magic to conceal his presence, and just as he sat down—
There was a thin, short blanket on my lap.
Ye Qi looked up and saw Jiang Yihuan skillfully taking out a small stool from her ring and sitting down beside her.
"I washed it clean and put it in the ring without touching it."
Ye Qi then realized that she was wearing a knee-length skirt and really needed a jacket or blanket.
Ye Qi looked up at the doorway.
The inspectors stationed outside, specifically to verify the authenticity of the invitation letters and monitor the movement of people, repeatedly emphasized:
"Sir, this invitation clearly states that only Mr. Bo Yeming is allowed to attend the Si family's banquet."
Ye Qi glanced at the two men in front of the inspector, and upon closer inspection, she discovered that one of them was Bo Tingsheng.
Bo Tingsheng was dressed in a formal suit, his hair was neatly combed, and his face was clean and handsome. He seemed to have put on some makeup, which made him look more mature and proper, shedding his boyishness.
The man next to Bo Tingsheng, upon hearing the other's words, felt his status as the head of the Bo family had been challenged, and his face flushed with anger.
"Nonsense! I'm the chairman of the Bo Group. Why can this kid go in, but I can't?!"
Bo's father, relying on the inspector's youth and easy-to-intimidate appearance, hardened his stance, hoping to intimidate the little watchdog.
Unfortunately, the inspector was a tough nut to crack, even tougher than Bo's father, and adhered to the principle of fulfilling the host's requests.
His tone remained polite, but now carried an undeniable coldness:
"Sir, the Si family has a clear rule that anyone other than the guests specified in the invitation is considered to have come uninvited."
"You!" Mr. Bo was so angry that his entire neck turned red.
"What's going on? What kind of behavior is this, making such a racket?" A man who looked elegant and mature walked over.
Although he was over middle-aged, he was still as dashing as ever. His strong body stood straight, and his solemn face bore the marks of time, which only added to his charm and made him even more extraordinary.
The man walked over and glanced at the farce.
Upon seeing that it was a man, the inspector said respectfully, "Butler, this Mr. Bo is determined to cause trouble."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Bo felt even more resentful.
What constitutes causing trouble?
If Bo Yeming, as the son, can come in, isn't it normal for him to come in too?
What constitutes causing trouble?
But then he thought that the stewards of great families usually knew a lot about people and would definitely recognize his name, unlike the rigid inspectors!
He straightened his clothes, coughed a few times, and put on airs: "Butler, is this how you treat your guests! We have come from afar as guests, what is the meaning of your staff stopping us here?"
“We have an invitation!” Mr. Bo waved the invitation in his hand!
The butler took the invitation, a formulaic smile on his face: "Sir, this invitation is not for you. Please leave."
"Since the invitation letter has unfortunately fallen into the hands of someone else, we have the right to collect it and return it for safekeeping. Please do not block the door any further—"
"Please." The butler stretched out one arm, his serious expression leaving no room for argument.
Mr. Bo's face turned pale and then flushed. He pointed at the butler and roared, "This clearly has Bo Yeming's name on it! Bo Yeming is my son! As the head of the Bo family, I value ceremony and came here specifically for this purpose. Is this how your Si family treats people?!"
The butler frowned slightly, finally losing his patience, and his voice turned cold:
"Sir, are you openly challenging the Si family?"
The butler's stern questioning startled Mr. Bo, and a look of horror flashed across his face.
The other guests who hadn't yet entered were already impatient because Mr. Bo was blocking their way. They were about to urge him on when they heard this, so they immediately backed away, not wanting to invite trouble.
They don't want to get involved and get into trouble!
Mr. Bo never expected that the Si family's butler would be so assertive, able to overstep his master's authority and make decisions on his own!
But now they can't even get through the door, let alone complain. They might even be framed by the housekeeper's nonsense!
