The gentleman is angry.
Shang Qi knew better than anyone that the man's expression meant he was really unhappy.
Slightly nervous, Shang Qi gripped the invitation in his hand, forcing himself to remain calm.
"This gala has invited mostly celebrities, business tycoons, and outstanding figures from all walks of life."
"Most importantly, I heard that one of Madam Mu's favorite cartoonists will also be there."
Upon hearing this last sentence, Ji Huaishen's expression finally changed.
He placed his long, handsome hands on the table and narrowed his eyes dangerously.
"Acting on one's own initiative?"
Shang Qi nervously swallowed and nodded, saying, "I wouldn't dare."
Ji Huaishen glanced indifferently at the invitation in his hand and said coldly, "Put your things down and get out."
Shang Qi nodded, put down his things, and went out.
Ji Huaishen looked at the invitation on the table, his brows furrowed. Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, a smile appeared on his lips.

Mu Xiaocheng had lunch and was about to go back to her room to draw comics.
Then I received a call from Song Guiran.
"Sister Xiaocheng, do you have an invitation to this year's charity gala?"
Charity gala?
Mu Xiaocheng thought for a moment, "Oh right, the annual charity gala in Yundu is in two days."
"I didn't." She's neither a business tycoon nor a celebrity or great figure, so how could she possibly have?
"Brother Xunqian must have it, right? Let me tell you, I have a rumor that one of my favorite international soccer stars will be at this year's charity gala. I have to go because of that!"
Song Guiran was wailing on the other end of the phone, extremely excited.
Suddenly, he added, "I'm sorry, I forgot you're not at the Meng family's house anymore."
Mu Xiaocheng: "..."
A moment later, Song Guiran said again, "Hey Xiaocheng, why aren't you excited at all? Didn't you see the trending topics on Weibo today? Your favorite cartoonist, the big shot in the comics world, will also be participating."
"What did you say? Tingyi is going to attend a charity gala?"
Tingyi is her idol; she has collected every single one of his comics!
Anyway, she grew up reading his comics, and she's a die-hard fan of his.
If Tingyi wants to go, then she absolutely has to go!
"Little Orange Sister, are you even listening to me? At least say something, okay?"
"Okay, okay, I'll figure something out and get back to you in a bit."
After saying that, Mu Xiaocheng hung up the phone.
Logically, both the Meng and Song families should have received invitations.
Song Guiran definitely didn't want to go with his father, which is why he came to find her.
Her brother definitely received it, but now that she's married, she's too embarrassed to go back and ask for it back.
Besides, my brother and uncle are very busy, and they may have already postponed it.
Mu Xiaocheng pursed her lips and couldn't help but look towards the study upstairs.
Ji Huaishen is one of the most important figures in Yundu, he... should have, right?
Mu Xiaocheng's eyes darted around, and she ran towards Ji Huaishen's study.
However, she stopped in her tracks just as she reached the door.
Chi Yan just said he was jealous?
Isn't it too awkward for her to just barge in and look for him like this?
Besides, he had no obligation to help her!
Mu Xiaocheng stood outside the door, frowning in confusion, when the study door suddenly opened.
Ji Huaishen, dressed in a black suit, appeared in front of her. The man had handsome features, and his dark hair made him look dashing and composed.
"What's up?"
His expression remained unchanged, and his tone was flat.
He appeared indifferent and ruthless, but the fleeting ripple in his eyes betrayed his turbulent emotions.
