As the afterglow of the sunset gradually faded, Li Qiran and Lin Yiping finally arrived at the Shiyun Hotel.
The hotel’s gate is magnificent, and the fountain in front of it looks particularly dazzling under the lights.
Tonight, the Su family's family recognition banquet will be held here. As Li Qiran's sister, Su Liyue is also the protagonist of tonight's banquet.
"Xiaoqi, we're here." Lin Yiping reminded softly, with a hint of nervousness in her voice.
Li Qiran nodded, took a deep breath and said, "Let's go. Sister Yiping, don't be so nervous. You are not the protagonist."
The two walked calmly into the hotel lobby, and a waiter immediately came forward to lead them to the banquet hall.
When the two arrived at the banquet hall, many guests had already gathered inside. Under the gorgeous crystal chandeliers, people were wearing formal dresses and chatting, and the atmosphere was warm and solemn.
Su Liyue was standing in a corner of the hall. She was wearing an elegant evening dress and was talking to several guests.
"Sister! I'm here~" Li Qiran ran towards Su Liyue excitedly, and the two hugged each other tightly.
Su Liyue stroked Li Qiran's hair with a smile, "Xiao Qi, why did you come just now? We have been waiting for you for a long time. Yiping is here too."
Lin Yiping nodded to Su Liyue and said, "Liyue, your dress looks beautiful today."
Su Liyue smiled gently: "Thank you for the compliment, why didn't you come here in a dress today?"
Lin Yiping was thinking about changing before coming here in the car, but Li Qiran strongly opposed it and complained about herself:... You are not the protagonist, why wear a dress, and we are so familiar with each other, your family will not blame you~
She chuckled and said, "Today we are here to be vases for Liyue. As long as Liyue is beautiful, that's enough."
"Yiping, you are really good at talking. Okay, I'll take you inside and wait for the banquet to start." Su Liyue said embarrassedly.
Led by Su Liyue, they walked into the reception room: "You wait here for a while. I will come to call you after the banquet starts." As she said that, she pointed to the sofa next to her.
"Sister, let me ask you, will grandpa and grandma also come here?" Li Qiran asked hurriedly when she saw Su Liyue was about to leave.
Su Liyue thought about it and forgot that she had never heard her parents mention this matter, and said, "My parents never said anything, so maybe they will come over." She acted as if she didn't care, because she hadn't seen her grandparents come to her house in the past few months after returning home.
"I understand, sister. You can go and get busy." Li Qiran said after hearing Su Liyue's words.
Just as Su Liyue was about to leave, Li Qiran's inner voice rang out, "It seems that those two old guys want to show off. They will wait until everyone arrives, and then plead for Su Jianqiang in front of all the families attending the banquet. Humph, they really have a good plan!"
Su Liyue was a little confused after hearing this: ...Plead for Su Jianqiang? What? Hasn't he already been in jail?
Just as she was standing there in a daze, Li Qiran looked up and asked in confusion: "Sister, are you standing there pretending to be a statue? Aren't you going to go out?"
Su Liyue came back to her senses and said, "No, I'm just thinking about something. I'll go out first, wait for me to come back." After saying that, she hurriedly left the living room. She wanted to tell her family about this first.
At this time, Gu Shichen was also on his way. He sent a message to Su Liyue, but has not received a reply yet. Little did he know that Su Liyue was telling her parents about what she had just heard from Li Qiran.
"Mom and Dad, this is what happened." Su Liyue said and looked at her parents.
Su Qiming frowned and said, "If they really do this, it will be difficult for them to step down." He was a little worried about his daughter.
"And there are a lot of media here today. If Liyue doesn't agree, someone might try to make use of the situation. If she agrees, does that mean Liyue deserves to be abducted?" Yin Xiolin was a little excited.
Su Qiming also had a headache: "Even if we agree, there is still Shichen. Now that Su Jianqiang has gone in, only Gu Shichen can use his connections."
Yin Xiulin said, "I'm afraid Shichen won't agree. When he first found out about Liyue being abducted, he almost had someone take care of Su Jianqiang in there."
"Mom and Dad, let's just take it one step at a time." Seeing her parents' anxiety, Su Liyue quickly interrupted the topic.
The family fell into a brief silence. At this time, Su Liyue's cell phone rang. It was Gu Shichen who couldn't wait to call.
As soon as Su Liyue answered the phone, Gu Shichen's words came from the other end: "Liyue, I'm almost there now, what are you doing? Why don't you reply to my message?"
Su Liyue heard and glanced at the message board. There was indeed a message from him. She said apologetically, "Sorry, I was just talking to my family."
"What happened?" Gu Shichen asked.
Su Liyue looked at her parents, wondering whether to tell Gu Shichen about this.
Su Qiming nodded to Su Liyue, indicating that she could tell Gu Shichen about this.
Su Liyue then said, "It's like this. I just heard Xiaoqi's voice. She said that my grandparents might come to the banquet tonight. They plan to ask Su Jianqiang for mercy when everyone arrives."
After listening to this, Gu Shichen snorted coldly: "Their calculations are really loud. I heard them in the car. But don't worry, with me here, Su Jianqiang can't get out."
Su Liyue felt warm in her heart: "Thank you, Shichen."
"No need to thank me between us, just wait for me." Gu Shichen said gently.
"Okay, I'll wait for you to come over." Su Liyue said a few more words to Gu Shichen and then hung up the phone.
At this time, the fourth son of the Su family also came to the hotel.
"Today is a good day. Li Yue officially recognized her as her biological parent, and my racing track is now open." Su Zhiyi said excitedly.
"The racetrack was able to open because of the partner Xiaoqi chose for you. You are just working for Xiaoqi." Su Shixie added
"Brother, didn't you tell me to find something to do when you were in the imperial capital? Now you are insulting me again." Su Zhiyi said dissatisfiedly.
"Brother said it was because you made Liyue the hot search before." Su Shihang patted his head in annoyance.
"Oh, Third Brother, it's been such a long time since this happened and you still bring it up? Besides, wasn't it resolved quickly?" Su Zhiyi said with a pain.
"That's also because of Xiaoqi's operation. If there wasn't that hot search, you could be your own boss and wouldn't have to work for Xiaoqi." Su Shixie continued to add fuel to the fire.
Su Zhiyi felt a little embarrassed: "Isn't this just to make Liyue forgive me quickly? This kind of thing won't happen again in the future."
"You'd better." Su Shixie said lightly.
The few of them chatted as they walked and soon arrived at the reception room. Su Qiyuan didn't dare to interrupt along the way.
