At the same time, he glanced at everyone at the banquet out of the corner of his eye, but he didn't see Li Mu or Li Yi.
Why didn't you see the young lady and young master?
Murong Xiaoxiao asked in confusion.
"She definitely looks down on being associated with people like us. Even if she comes, she acts all high and mighty, unlike Sister Xixi who is so approachable. Not showing up at her own sister's banquet, she really doesn't act like a proper young lady at all," Sun Qian said with a sneer.
Zhou Qi quickly chimed in, "I think so too. She was born of a mother but not raised by one. She didn't even show up at her own sister's family reunion banquet. She really has no manners and doesn't know any etiquette."
Hearing these words, Mi Xi became even more smug and raised her head high. With a slightly aggrieved and sad tone, she said, "Don't say that. I'm not that kind of person. I probably had something to do and didn't mean to miss the event."
Sun Qian wasn't angry when she saw this. Sister Xi Xi, you're too kind. They're both from the Li family, why are you afraid of her?
Several people nodded in agreement.
The group then whispered amongst themselves, seemingly plotting something. A gasp rippled through the crowd—the Ling family had arrived! A middle-aged man and a young man slowly walked out from the crowd.
The middle-aged man was the Ling family's butler, holding a box that looked very expensive. If the box itself was valuable, then the contents inside must be even more so.
There was another person standing in front of the butler. He was very handsome, but his eyes and brows gave off a cynical and irresponsible air.
There were many wealthy young ladies at the banquet, and when they saw this man, their infatuated eyes looked as if they wanted to pounce on him immediately.
Just then, Li Mu came out. Because when Mi Lan fell into the water, some water had splashed on him.
Helplessly, I went back to my room to change my clothes and came out to find many people at the banquet staring at one person with infatuated looks.
Without a doubt, Li Mu knew who this person was just by looking at his profile. In his past life, it was this person who tormented him relentlessly until he turned to ashes, and Li Mu still knew who he was.
Ling Hao, the second young master of the Ling family, is a dissolute playboy.
Li Mu didn't linger and went straight to Li Hongyun. Li Hongyun was talking about business matters with other business tycoons. Li Mu walked gracefully and calmly to Li Hongyun's side, took his arm, and nodded slightly to those who looked at her. The people who were talking to Li Hongyun smiled when they saw Li Mu. These tycoons all knew that this young lady was a business genius and not simple at all, so they did not look down on her in any way.
Li Mu easily joined in the conversation with the big shots.
Before they had talked for long, Ling Hao came over. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Li Mu and his heart began to pound faster.
On the surface, he smiled and said to Li Hongyun, "Knowing that Uncle Li's family is holding a banquet today, my father specially sent me to deliver a gift to express his congratulations."
Li Hongyun smiled and said, "Please thank your father for me; he's very kind."
Ling Hao: Certainly, Uncle Li, you can continue your conversation, I won't disturb you any longer. Li Hongyun nodded.
After the Ling family left, some people whispered among themselves that the Ling family had arrived, but the Qin family hadn't come. They wondered if the two families were on bad terms.
Don't talk nonsense. Something came up at the Qin family, so no one came, but the formalities were still observed.
The Qin family is already being very generous by hosting a banquet for an illegitimate daughter. Another person nodded.
That's right. The Qin family is most averse to illegitimate children. Everyone knows that the men in the Qin family are all henpecked husbands, spoiling their wives rotten.
Once you fall in love, it's for life. I really want to marry my daughter into that family.
Of course, everyone present thought the same thing. The banquet ended with everyone appearing to be enjoying themselves.
After the banquet, Mi Xi became the true second young lady of the Li family and successfully entered high society.
During this time, Mi Xi went to great lengths to please Li Hongyun, giving him massages and serving him tea and water with utmost care.
Li Hongyun's indifferent attitude softened considerably, and he began to slowly and truly accept this adopted daughter.
Thinking to himself, he glanced at his adopted daughter again.
He took a bank card out of the drawer and pushed it in front of Mi Xi.
Mi Xi glanced at the bank card, feeling secretly pleased, but her face showed a puzzled expression: "Dad, what is this?"
Please take this bank card; the credit limit is ten million.
There was three million in the bank card I gave you before, and I think you probably spent it all on the banquet. You can keep this card as your pocket money.
Upon hearing this, she obediently accepted the bank card.
Li Hongyun, you can go out now. I need to hold a video conference here.
"Okay, Dad," Mi Xi nodded and left the study.
A knock sounded on the door, followed by Li Mu's languid voice.
Miss, the old lady just called and said everyone should go to the old house tomorrow. Okay, Uncle Wu, I understand.
Butler Wu knocked on Mi Xi's door again. Mi Lan opened the door, and Butler Wu said directly that the old lady had called and wanted to go to the old house tomorrow to ask the second young lady to make preparations in advance. Upon hearing that she was going to the old house, Mi Lan agreed, and Butler Wu turned and left.
After seeing Butler Wu leave, Mi Lan immediately discussed with Mi Xi their goals for tomorrow's trip to the old house. The two of them were busy making plans.
