At 8 p.m., the Xiao family's victory celebration banquet began.
The celebration banquet was very large; Xiao Jingming booked the entire Zijing Pavilion clubhouse.
Tonight, celebrities from all walks of life in high society gathered. Not only from the capital, but also from wealthy families in other cities, younger generations came. Whether in the main hall or the private rooms, the atmosphere was lively and extraordinary.
Everyone's talking about the same thing: the Xiao Group's "Allure" perfume is just too amazing!
The three foreign perfumers who created the "Alluring Beauty" perfume have become extremely popular.
The three foreign perfumers also considered themselves exceptional talents, putting on airs and enjoying the treatment of being the center of attention.
Although everyone thought they were arrogant, if they could cooperate, they would definitely be able to follow in the footsteps of the Xiao family and have a piece of meat soup.
At the banquet, Duan Muxi, the spokesperson for the "Alluring Beauty" perfume, arrived. She is the youngest double Best Actress winner.
Originally, the Xiao family had their eye on Mu Liangzhou, a three-time Golden Horse Award winner, but his studio was cooperating with Shangguan Wu's Tiansong Entertainment Company, which made it unsuitable.
However, Mu Liangzhou still received an invitation from the Xiao family.
Top idol Jiang Shuo, variety show queen Ruan Qiaoyi, singer Mu Cheng, and many other celebrities were also invited.
The Xiao family's celebration banquet was arguably the biggest banquet ever held in the capital's high society, and many minor celebrities even managed to get in through connections.
Chu Mingshu wasn't the only one who thought tonight was a good opportunity.
"Master Qin Jiaheng has arrived!"
"The eldest son of the Gu family has arrived too!"
Suddenly, two voices rang out in the banquet hall.
These two are leading figures among the younger generation of prominent families.
They are all men at the very top of the pyramid—rich, powerful, and good-looking.
However, Gu Yilou is already married with children, while Qin Yiheng has been rumored to dislike women for many years, which he has never denied, so the two are equally popular.
But everyone's eyes remained fixed on the entrance to the hall.
Xiao Jingming pushed up his glasses and swayed a glass of red wine slightly.
When Xiao Jingming saw Qin Yiheng enter, a glint flashed in his eyes!
So she didn't come with Gu Yilou?
However, Xiao Jingming's gaze quickly fell on the beautiful and charming Shangguan Wu.
He sent someone to invite her, but she didn't come. Now she's actually attending the Xiao family's celebration banquet with Qin Yiheng.
Xiao Jingming instructed his bodyguard, Xiao Yu, "Go and arrange for the Second Young Master to be placed in a private room alone."
"Yes, young master."
Xiao Yu turned and left.
"Holy crap! Master Heng actually brought two female companions with him?"
"I think I saw a fairy!"
"Who is that woman holding Heng Ye's arm? I feel like I've seen her somewhere before."
"Nonsense, that's Chen Xintong, the most rebellious eldest daughter of the Chen family. Her own company's assets are already ten times higher than the Chen family group's assets."
Immediately, many people thought to themselves: Awesome!
"No wonder she's the woman who can attend with Master Heng!"
"Don't you guys think the other woman next to Master Heng is unbelievably beautiful?"
"What the heck, Su Xiangrui, why are you swearing? She's the prettiest woman at the banquet tonight!"
Su Xiangrui coughed lightly twice, his ears red: "Ahem, I'm not swearing. Who is she? Do you know her?"
"Oh my goodness, is the young master of the Su family in love?"
At this moment, someone stroked their chin and said, "It's fucking outrageous. She didn't show her shoulders or arms, nor her legs. How come I feel like she's the sexiest person in the whole place?"
Su Xiangrui turned around and scolded, "Superficial!"
Upon seeing that it was the most favored young master of the Su family, the man resigned himself to his bad luck and turned to leave.
Upon seeing this, Pei Kaiwen, who had been joking earlier, put his arm around Su Xiangrui's shoulder and whispered, "You don't actually have a crush on her, do you?"
Su Xiangrui's ears turned even redder: "Don't talk nonsense!"
"If you're so capable, then don't let your ears turn red!"
"I'm hot!"
"Okay, just call me brother and I'll go ask around for you!"
“…Brother.” Su Xiangrui’s ears turned bright red.
"Hahaha……"
Pei Kaiwen leaned on his shoulder, laughing so hard he was almost incoherent. If there hadn't been so many people around, he would have laughed even louder.
Sensing the curious gazes of others, Su Xiangrui warned him in a low voice, "That's enough!"
"Hehehe, wait for your brother to come back!"
Pei Kaiwen patted him on the shoulder and walked towards the center of the banquet hall.
At this moment, Shangguan Wu and Qin Yiheng were in the center of the banquet hall.
Another commotion arose at the doorway.
Gu Yilou has arrived.
He led his wife, Jiang Yu, into the banquet hall.
Everyone was startled again.
Gu Yilou usually attends banquets alone.
It wasn't that Gu Yilou didn't want to bring Jiang Yu along, but rather that Jiang Yu wanted to cultivate the image of a good wife and mother, so she almost never went out at night and stayed home with her child.
Actually, Gu Xiaobao also wanted to come to the banquet tonight, and Gu Yilou agreed. However, just before leaving, Jiang Yu locked Gu Xiaobao in the room and wouldn't let him go out.
Jiang Yu's reasoning was that Xiao Bao had just recovered from his illness, and what if he caught a cold again? So she suggested waiting until he was completely well before taking him out to play.
In reality, Jiang Yu was talking to her younger brother, Jiang Shuo, and there were some things she didn't want her son to hear.
Gu Yilou felt terrible hearing his son crying and wanted to take him with him. He said he would take good care of his son, but Jiang Yu also cried, and through the door, she cried even louder than Xiao Bao.
Later, Gu Xiaobao stopped crying and told his father to take his mother away quickly.
Gu Yilou frowned and turned to go downstairs.
Jiang Yu was completely unaware that her actions had offended her husband and son, who instead felt that she had won by using "softness to overcome hardness".
Gu Yilou didn't say a word on the way here.
