Jian Yu still went in the end, because after Yan Shi told Old Madam Yan that Jian Yu would not attend her birthday banquet, Old Madam Yan actually sent Dean Bai to personally invite her.
This greatly confused Jian Yu.
Dean Bai didn't understand why the old lady was so insistent. After thinking it over, she concluded that the old lady wanted to take this opportunity to intimidate Jian Yu, elevate Feng Mi at the banquet, and make Jian Yu back down.
Upon hearing this, Jian Yu immediately decided to join in the fun.
Huo Tingzhen had two new dresses delivered overnight, each priced at over a million, much more expensive than the ones sent by Old Madam Yan.
Huo Tingzhen kept one set for himself and gave the other set to Jian Yu.
As for the white fishtail skirt that Old Madam Yan had prepared, Jian Yu simply put it away and left it unused.
"My brother has something to do, so he won't be going. I'll pick you up this afternoon."
"OK."
To Jian Yu's surprise, when she went out, Huo Qizhen's extended Rolls-Royce was parked in front of the door.
The bodyguard opened the car door for Jian Yu, who curiously stepped inside.
Both Huo Qizhen and Huo Tingzhen were inside.
Is Kenneth Fok also going?
Jian Yu didn't ask him why he changed his mind.
There are many celebrities at tonight's banquet; perhaps there's someone he needs to discuss business with.
The arrival of the Huo siblings is naturally a welcome welcome for the Yan Shi Group.
Jian Yu, being of a certain status, naturally couldn't enjoy such privileges. The Huo siblings seemed to have realized this long ago, and when they got out of the car, they let Jian Yu walk in the middle.
Chairman Yan and Dean Bai stood at the door and were somewhat surprised to see the three of them coming in side by side, with Jian Yu even taking the center position. They hadn't expected the Huo family to value Jian Yu so much.
Yan Shi strode forward to greet them, "You've arrived, welcome!"
Yan Shi first shook hands with Huo Qizhen, then with Huo Tingzhen, and finally looked at Jian Yu, smiling familiarly, "We've been waiting for you for ages."
Dean Bai stared intently at Jian Yu, his expression complex.
Is your son so happy to see Jian Yu?
Chairman Yan stepped forward to greet him and personally invited Huo Qizhen inside.
Huo Qizhen is now the de facto head of the Huo family conglomerate, and his status is even higher than Huo An's, so he cannot be neglected.
Yan Shi led Huo Tingzhen and Jian Yu to a corner of the banquet to rest, saying, "You two rest here for a while, I'll go get you some juice."
Jian Yu casually glanced around and noticed that Yu Cheng and Yan Zhuo were standing and talking not far away.
As Yu Cheng turned around, Jian Yu noticed that several of Qi's cousins were also there.
Is this person here to attend Yan Zhuo's blind date event?
Does Yu Yao know what these people are thinking?
Given the Yu family's current situation, it's pointless for her to know or not; in fact, it might be better if she didn't.
In her previous life, the Yu family business was thriving, and Yu Yao never showed her true colors in front of Yan Zhuo like she does now, nor did Yan Zhuo deliberately avoid her.
With her powerful family background and shrewd methods, she defeated a group of rivals and finally rose to power, becoming Yan Zhuo's wife.
Jian Yu didn't know if the relationship between Yan Zhuo and Yu Yao was love.
Anyway, he treated Yu Yao quite well in his past life.
Jian Yu occasionally saw them, and he could see the indulgence and care for Yu Yao on Yan Zhuo's face.
Yan Zhuo is a good husband.
In this life, Yu Yao exposed her true colors early on and lost the Yu Group as her backer.
It's impossible for her to compete with those cousins from the Qi family.
Yu Cheng stared intently at the figure in the corner, his heart filled with complex emotions.
The Qi family cousins also saw Jian Yu, and a hint of displeasure flashed in their eyes at the same time.
Grandpa has recently gone crazy, often praising Jian Yu's musical talent in front of them.
Let them praise me if they want; Jian Yu isn't coming back anyway.
Later, Grandpa became increasingly dissatisfied with them and started finding fault with them.
“If Jian Yu had received the same musical education you all did from a young age, she would definitely have achieved extraordinary things by now. How come none of you children inherited my talent like she did?”
At this point, the group could no longer take it.
They all harbored resentment towards Jian Yu.
He also took his anger out on Yu Yao, who looked just like Jian Yu.
Yu Yao hasn't been feeling well lately, so they can't go and cause trouble for her. They're still upset about it.
Both Jian Yu and Yu Yao have striking features. Perhaps due to their different upbringing, Yu Yao's eyes are always captivating, her long, slightly wavy hair is often draped over her shoulders, and with her exquisite makeup, she is stunningly beautiful.
Jian Yu's eyes were calm and unwavering, and when she lowered her gaze, she often exuded a coldness that kept people at a distance. Her long black hair was casually draped over her shoulders. When she smiled, she looked somewhat innocent, but when she didn't smile, she was extremely aloof.
They look exactly the same, but their temperaments are completely different.
Yu Cheng was a little puzzled as to how his two younger sisters had managed to do such a thing.
Jian Yu is now sitting on the sofa, casually resting his chin on one hand, his eyes half-closed, looking both lazy and languid, as well as aloof and distant.
Facing her aggressive cousins, she lazily raised her head and asked, "What is it?"
Those two simple words, like dynamite, ignited the fury of Qi's cousins.
"Tonight is to celebrate Old Madam Yan's 80th birthday. The Yu Group went bankrupt long ago. How did you get here?"
"Whose invitation did you 'piggyback' on?"
Huo Tingzhen was about to get angry when he saw Yan Shi coming over out of the corner of his eye, and immediately sat down without moving.
He looked down and continued replying to messages.
Jian Yu glanced casually behind them; Yu Cheng was being pulled by Yu Ting to greet someone.
"I came here the same way I came from Yucheng."
"Heh...you really know how to flatter yourself. Yu Cheng and Yan Zhuo are good friends. Yan Zhuo sent him the invitation."
Are you close to Yan Zhuo? Would Yan Zhuo send you an invitation specifically?
"Exactly. This is a banquet hosted by the Yan Group. It's normal for you to come here just to ride on someone else's coattails. What's there to be embarrassed about?"
Jian Yu looked them up and down. "So, whose help did you get here?"
The group of people wore smug expressions. "Our Qi family doesn't need to ride on anyone's coattails. The Yan family sent invitations to each of us, and Dean Bai personally delivered them to our homes and gave them to Grandma."
It seems that Grandma Qi has also arrived.
“We came with Grandma. She’s upstairs chatting with Grandma Yan right now. Unlike you, you need to mooch off others when you come here…”
Before she could finish speaking, she finally recognized Huo Tingzhen.
"Miss Huo?"
I thought that the people who were with Jian Yu were all mediocre.
Therefore, she didn't observe Jian Yu's companion carefully, and since Huo Tingzhen was always looking down at her phone, she didn't see the other person's face clearly at all.
Suddenly bumping into Huo Tingzhen, she asked excitedly, "Miss Huo, what are you doing sitting here?"
What's going on with the Yan family?
They left the person alone in a corner without assigning anyone to accompany them.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have failed to notice Huo Tingzhen immediately.
Kenneth Fok, the chairman of the Fok family conglomerate, has a higher social status and is currently single. It would be very advantageous for her to get closer to his sister.
Huo Tingzhen curled his lips into a smile. "Qi Yun? Miss Qi?"
"right."
Huo Tingzhen pointed at her and Jian Yu and asked, "Are you two looking for trouble?"
