The car door opened, and Bai Chuan got out first, followed by Gu Yibei.
Gu Yibei was still wearing a bespoke suit, paired with the white shirt that Ji Zhinan had given him. His tie was perfectly tied, and the tie clip was also neatly fastened.
He was dressed very formally today, which meant he had important business to discuss.
Shirakawa followed closely behind into the hotel, reporting on his work in a low voice as he walked.
“Mr. Gu, Mr. William’s flight is at four o’clock this afternoon. We only have two hours. Fortunately, Mr. William is also interested in cooperating with us and is already waiting upstairs.”
"Hmm." The man responded slowly, then suddenly stopped when his gaze fell in a certain direction.
Shirakawa almost crashed into it, but fortunately he managed to brake in time.
Following the man's gaze, a huge poster was displayed near the lobby on the first floor. The poster featured a wedding photo of a man and a woman, both smiling broadly.
"Ji...Zhixia?"
Looking at the words above, Gu Yibei spoke uncertainly.
The poster does indeed have the following printed on it:
Groom: Mu Zeyu
Bride: Ji Zhixia
The name was very similar to hers, so it immediately caught Gu Yibei's attention.
Shirakawa also felt that the name sounded familiar, and soon remembered it.
"Yes, Mr. Gu, today is the engagement banquet of Ji Zhixia, the daughter of the Ji family, and Mu Zeyu, the young master of the Mu family. Ji Zhixia is the older sister of Miss Ji Zhinan."
Shirakawa had previously investigated Ji Zhinan, so he had a thorough understanding of Ji Zhinan's family.
"A few days ago, Chairman Mu Daxiang of the Mu Group sent two invitations to Mr. Lin Que, one to him and one to you. Chairman Mu would like to invite you and Mr. Lin to his son's engagement banquet."
However, Bai Chuan refused, because Gu Yibei never attended these boring banquets.
Thanks to the foolish things Mu Minmin did at school, Mu Daxiang got to know Gu Yibei. He sent invitations to both Lin Que and Gu Yibei for today's engagement banquet. If either of them could come, it would be a great honor for Mu Daxiang.
Although they lost two plots of land, it did not stop the Mu family from clinging to Mr. Gu's coattails.
Gu Yibei responded with a "yes," indicating that he understood.
The door to the first-floor meeting room opened, and two waitresses came out carrying trays.
They were expressionless before coming out, but as soon as the door closed, they became excited like wild horses.
"My God, today was definitely worth the trip, I heard such explosive news!"
"No wonder the Ji family only revealed Ji Zhixia and didn't expose their youngest daughter. We thought it was to protect her, but now we know... she's not their biological daughter!"
"Ji Zhixia said it herself, so I think it's probably true. That Miss Ji the Second is also pitiful. Although she's not their biological daughter, she's still been in the circle of the wealthy for twenty years. Now everyone knows she's a fake heiress, so... she'll have a hard time in the future!"
"I don't think she had a good life in the Ji family either. Didn't you see that although Ji Pengfei and his wife were angry, they still protected Ji Zhixia? Besides, if Ji Zhixia really regarded that second young lady as her own sister, she wouldn't have said such things even if she had been drinking. It was just drunken remark!"
"Hahaha……"
Gu Yibei was about to leave when the waiter's conversation made him stop in his tracks.
The conversation lingered in his ears, eventually transforming into crucial information that entered his mind, causing the man's expression to darken slightly.
Shirakawa also heard the conversation. He was stunned for a moment before speaking.
