Chapter 85 Qiao Xi is shy
Two days later.
The Sun family banquet was held at the Jinling Hotel.
The Sun family has always been wealthy and powerful. They directly booked a famous hotel in Haicheng and prepared a lounge on the second floor for each guest. During the meal, guests can touch up their makeup, wash their clothes, or change clothes in a separate room.
They didn't hold any fancy Western-style banquets, but simply set up a banquet with 100 tables, each costing 99,000 yuan per table, with drinks charged separately.
Those liquors and red wines are collector's editions and look very expensive.
The large mahogany table and heavy and noble armchairs are neatly arranged, which is very grand!
Mr. Sun and Mrs. Sun were dressed in red and gold, looking very festive.
They welcomed group of guests, and the male guests all surrounded Sun Weimeng, wanting to get to know Qiao Xi through his connections.
"Young Master Sun, how many times a night do you have sex? I've seen all those promotions for the club, they're all way too exaggerated."
"Are you really recovered? How long did it take you to recover after taking the medicine?"
"Tell me on WeChat, we are good brothers! That Chinese medicine apprentice has a good relationship with you, please say something good to me."
Being a man, I want to treat that aspect.
Even those who are not sick want to reach a higher level.
Sun Weimeng looked around arrogantly and said, "Let's talk about this later. Today is my father's fiftieth birthday."
After he said that, he walked towards the hotel entrance with a heroic and confident look.
He looked around and asked, "Why hasn't Huo Xingzhou come yet?"
"Call me President Huo!"
Mr. Sun, with a big belly and a kind smile, slapped him on the shoulder.
Sun Weimeng said pretentiously, "Huo Xingzhou and I are good friends, no need to be polite."
"Listen to this," Mr. Sun said to Mrs. Sun, feigning anger. "Your son has become arrogant!"
Mrs. Sun said proudly, "Our son has a keen eye for talent. Back then, so many people looked down on Huo Xingzhou, but he spoke up for him. The guests who came today all praised our Sun family for their vision and wisdom!"
Her tail was also raised to the sky.
Mr. Sun laughed heartily and said, "You and your son, fools have good fortune!"
His career has flourished as a result, and several recent projects he collaborated on with Huo Xingzhou have been profitable.
Their Sun family has taken advantage of the favorable conditions.
"Look at what you said." Mrs. Sun said coquettishly, her eyes glancing at the two cars parked at the door. She pushed Mr. Sun's arm and reminded him, "Old Sun, the Su family and the Huo family arrived at the same time."
This is called enemies meeting on a narrow road.
"The Su family really came." Mrs. Sun frowned. She just sent the invitation out of courtesy.
If Su Heng had any backbone, he wouldn't have come.
"Everyone who comes is a guest."
Mr. Sun raised the corner of his lips and went out to greet him.
In front of Jinling Hotel.
A Rolls-Royce and a Porsche Cayenne pulled up opposite.
Su Weiwei was dressed to the nines in a silver-gray lace dress. The back and shoulders were covered in see-through lace, and the puffy hem revealed her slender, fair thighs. Her delicate makeup made her look like a stunner.
Su Heng was wearing a suit and standing beside her.
The father and daughter were present, but Zhao Yuzhen did not show up.
On the other side, Huo Xingzhou and Qiao Xi, one in a suit and tie, the other in a light pink low-slit cheongsam, were much more low-key and reserved.
When Su Weiwei saw Huo Xingzhou, her eyes flashed with obsession, and her eyes were full of infatuation. Then she looked at Qiao Xi, full of resentment.
It was this village girl who took her place.
Even if she is a disciple of a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, she can't change her origin! Their Su family doesn't need to seek medical treatment!
The person standing next to Huo Xingzhou should be her!
"Mr. Huo, long time no see."
Su Heng came forward and greeted him with a licking face. He was a businessman who could take it or leave it.
"Mr. Su's face looks rosy. Having a child in old age is indeed a great joy." Huo Xingzhou said calmly.
Su Heng's smile faded after being teased by him: "Not really."
Qiao Xi looked at him curiously.
If he had a child in his old age, it must not be Zhao Yuzhen's. That would mean he had an illegitimate child.
I don’t know what Zhao Yuzhen’s mood is now.
She went through great pains to get the health-preserving recipe, but ended up having a child with Su Heng and his mistress.
"Boss Huo! Boss Su!"
Mr. Sun came out jogging. "You two are such rare guests. Please come in."
His appearance broke the stalemate.
"please!"
Su Heng was flexible and let Huo Xingzhou walk in front.
"Please come too, Mr. Su."
Huo Xingzhou said politely, he kept his arm around Qiao Xi's wrist, and the two walked side by side in front.
Su Weiwei followed behind them, her eyes glancing coquettishly at Huo Xingzhou's back. This man must be hers tonight.
Several people walked into the grand banquet hall together.
"Boss Huo!"
"Mr. Huo is here!"
"Ms. Qiao Xi, you rarely appear in such occasions. As a disciple of a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, you are too low-key."
As soon as Huo Xingzhou and Qiao Xi appeared, they were surrounded.
One is the president of Tianyuan Group, and the other is the most popular apprentice of traditional Chinese medicine. They all need to seize the opportunity to curry favor with each other.
Qiao Xi had never enjoyed such treatment before, and she couldn't stand the exaggerated words coming from those people.
Cheeks are red.
Seeing this, Huo Xingzhou pulled her closer, as if to protect her.
"Please make way, she's quite shy."
Huo Xingzhou almost hugged half of her body, and the others quickly made way when they heard this.
Huo Xingzhou and Qiao Xi's seats were at the head table, which also showed how much the Sun family valued them.
Su Heng and Su Weiwei sat at other tables. Su Weiwei's eyes almost burned a hole in Qiao Xi's back.
"Constrain yourself!"
Su Heng warned in a low voice, "Don't you see what kind of occasion this is?"
"I……"
Su Weiwei snorted reluctantly.
She was just jealous of Qiao Xi for having such good luck.
Su Heng reminded him, "I've found a few suitable candidates for you tonight, and the other family is also interested. You can chat and cultivate your relationship when you have the chance. Then you can decide who you like the most."
Su Heng was eager to marry Su Weiwei off as soon as possible.
He hadn't been idle these past two days, and had gone straight to the Huo family to break off the engagement. The old man agreed immediately, but Wang Fengxian refused to give in and said a lot of vicious words.
Huo Beiting is now drinking all day long and is a hopeless person.
"oh."
Su Weiwei agreed on the surface, but actually curled her lips in disdain.
Who else at this banquet can compare to Huo Xingzhou?
"Dad, I need to go to the bathroom."
Su Weiwei stood up and said coquettishly.
"Um."
Su Heng was busy bonding with the bosses at the same table, so he didn't pay much attention. The Su family had been severely damaged by the internal strife within the Huo family. Su Heng had to put aside his pride and try to curry favor with the wealthy people he had previously looked down upon.
Su Weiwei carried her small bag and walked around to the small garden outside. It was dark and the street lights were dim.
She walked along the garden path and saw a young man in a tuxedo with a straight figure.
"Is that you?"
She asked as she approached.
"Miss Su."
The man greeted respectfully.
Su Weiwei looked him up and down and chuckled a few times in a strange manner.
