The Xu family was the most prominent family in the capital.
Their reputation is no less than that of the Gu family; otherwise, they would have been fawned over by all the major families as soon as they arrived in Nancheng.
When the Xu family announced that they were holding a banquet at the Gu family's residence, not only the top-tier families but also the second and third-tier families were scrambling to get the banquet guest list.
They heard that the Xu family had acquired the Su family for three times the actual price. What does this mean? It means the Xu family intends to expand in Nancheng. Some also say that the Xu family wants Gu Jingchen as their son-in-law, so their large-scale acquisition of the Su family is compensation for Su Ning.
Rumors spread very quickly and can become exaggerated.
Su Ning and Gu Jingchen appeared at the Xu family banquet at the same time, instantly becoming the focus of everyone's attention.
They were just discussing Gu Jingchen, Su Ning, and Miss Xu when the main characters appeared, naturally putting them in the spotlight.
However, with Gu Jingchen present, these people dared not say anything about Su Ning.
As a guest, greet the host first when you arrive at the banquet.
Su Ning prepared gifts for the Xu family.
The portion for Mr. Xu was carefully selected by her at the mall.
Everything else was arranged by Gu Jingchen.
The Xu family accepted the gifts. Mr. Xu gave a slight smile, Mrs. Xu was very enthusiastic, and Xu Bai was also very happy, but he did not see Miss Xu.
They were busy and had other guests to attend to, so Su Ning and Gu Jingchen didn't bother them too much.
Gu Jingchen pushed Su Ning away to another place, and he noticed that Su Ning was not very happy.
Before Gu Jingchen could ask, Su Ning spoke first, "He doesn't seem to want to see me!"
Unlike Lu Cheng, Mr. Xu doesn't never smile. He does smile, and Su Ning thinks he must look handsome when he smiles.
She handed him the gift, but he didn't even glance at it before passing it on to someone else, and simply smiled and said "thank you" to her.
Actually, that's enough.
Su Ning turned her head and saw that Mr. Xu was also greeting others in the same way.
What she wanted was something different, and even Su Ning herself couldn't explain why she felt this way.
"Ningning!"
Gu Jingchen was jealous. How could his Ningning be interested in an old man!
That old man is such a ladies' man!
"Ningning." Mu An'an arrived. She saw that Su Ning seemed a little down, so she sent Gu Jingchen away.
"Go away and chat with other people, don't bother my Ningning."
Gu Jingchen was dissatisfied, saying, "What do you mean 'her' Ningning'? She's clearly his."
However, seeing that Mu An'an was happy and that Mu An'an was genuinely fond of Su Ning, Su Ning wouldn't interfere with their conversation.
He thought it through very hard. As long as Ningning was happy and willing to stay by his side, he would agree to whatever Ningning did.
"Did you come with Lu Cheng?"
After Gu Jingchen left, Su Ning asked with a smile.
“He said he couldn’t find a female companion,” Mu An’an replied.
Su Ning didn't believe that the head of the Lu family would be unable to find a female companion; such a lame excuse would only work on Mu An'an.
"That's true. He's with Master Fu, and the two of them can't always appear together."
"It's best to keep this kind of thing low-key, otherwise the Gu family and the Fu family will definitely cause a huge uproar."
After Mu An'an finished speaking in a serious tone, Su Ning couldn't help but laugh.
I wonder if Lu Cheng would spit out blood if he knew that Mu An'an thought he liked men.
“Ningning, Chu Feng, she…”
When Chu Feng was mentioned, Su Ning recalled that at the last banquet hosted by Mr. Gu, she said she wanted to discuss a business deal with someone from the capital.
The people in this capital city must be Mr. Xu and his family.
Now that Mr. Xu is hosting a banquet, Chu Feng has no reason not to attend.
