Chapter 357 Engagement Banquet
Grandma Huo naturally knew what Sister Xiu was referring to. Thinking that Lin Yilan was about to become her granddaughter-in-law, she looked up at the upstairs and couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth.
Two days later, it was Chu Siran and Qin Chaotian's engagement day. The Chu family sent out numerous invitations to promote their business, using almost all their business connections to invite every business owner, big and small, they knew.
The engagement between the Chu family and the Qin family is a typical marriage between wealthy families. If it is not promoted well, the engagement with Qin Chaotian will be meaningless.
Lin Yilan received the invitation and went with Huo Juncheng.
The dozens of meters long red carpet extends almost from the point where you get off the car to the entrance of the high-end hotel.
"Don't say that, the Qin family is okay." He didn't keep everything simple just because he was marrying a woman he didn't love. Judging from the various decorations, he had spent a lot of money on them.
As Lin Yilan spoke, someone opened her car window. She was then helped down the stairs. Huo Juncheng followed closely behind her, "How could they keep things simple when it's so lucrative for both families? They'll definitely be showcasing their wealth and connections today to secure more resources later."
"Is that so?" Lin Yilan glanced back at Huo Juncheng. The soft sunlight caressed his cheeks, swirling around him perfectly, making his already near-perfect features even more three-dimensional.
"Yeah." Huo Juncheng hummed lightly, then smiled. He reached out and rubbed Lin Yilan's head, his eyebrows frivolous: "You are good at beating people, but I am good at making money."
Lin Yilan rolled her eyes, squeezed his arm hard, and walked towards the hotel side by side.
Chu Siran, wearing a hand-embroidered cheongsam, followed Qin Chaotian through the crowd. As soon as Lin Yilan and Huo Juncheng came in, Chu Siran saw them immediately! She hated this kind of boring perfunctory behavior. She carefully nudged Qin Chaotian with her elbow and whispered, "Lin Yilan is here. I'll go over and take a look."
There was always a smile on the corner of Qin Chaotian's lips. There was no trace of emotion on his handsome face, only a smile.
He glanced in the direction of Chu Siran's finger and responded softly, "Okay, you go greet Lin Yilan, I'll come here."
Chu Siran got the agreement and ran towards Lin Yilan: "Yilan! Why did you come just now? Why didn't you answer my call last night? You know I was so nervous about my engagement today and you didn't even accompany me?"
Lin Yilan glanced at Huo Juncheng beside her out of the corner of her eye, and her old face turned red... This... Last night Huo Juncheng insisted on dragging her to watch TV, and the two of them fell asleep in each other's arms while watching. She was indeed careless and forgot about Chu Siran's engagement.
"Ahem, yesterday I..."
Huo Juncheng didn't wait for Lin Yilan to explain and said directly: "She had a fever last night and I took care of her all night."
"Ah? Fever?" Chu Siran quickly touched Lin Yilan's forehead with her hand, and she felt relieved when she saw that her temperature was back to normal. "Aren't people who practice martial arts supposed to have good physiques? How could you suddenly have a fever?"
Lin Yilan: “…” What should Lin Yilan do next?
This is simply not going to work.
"Even if your physique is good, it's easy to get a fever if you sweat and are exposed to the wind. It has nothing to do with the quality of your physique." Huo Juncheng finished saying what he needed to say, and did not delay the two sisters from reminiscing about the past. He glanced contemptuously at the elegantly dressed people walking around in the hotel.
There's a reason why the Qin and Chu families have been able to gain a foothold in Haicheng, a place with more wolves than meat! The people they invited are the best proof. From high-ranking officials to businessmen, they may seem to have good relationships, but in fact, in the eyes of businessmen, they are just walking RMB.
The reason why everyone comes here is the same as the engagement party between the Chu and Qin families. Everyone wants to be familiar with the others.
Huo Juncheng was about to go to the bathroom when he was surrounded by two middle-aged men. "Mr. Huo, I didn't expect you to attend the Qin family's engagement party. Do you remember me? I'm the vice president of Yum! Brands, Mr. Zheng's youngest son, Zheng Yu."
Huo Juncheng has always had a good memory. He was quite familiar with Yum! Brands, but he had never seen the man in front of him who claimed to be Mr. Zheng's youngest son... His eyes darkened slightly, and impatience floated between his brows: "Hmm?"
He hated people who came up to him and said hello. They knew he had a destination but still stopped him here. It was really annoying.
Zheng Yu didn't notice the warning in Huo Juncheng's eyes and continued to introduce himself enthusiastically. Huo Juncheng didn't give Zheng Yu any face either, interrupting him before he could finish his introduction: "Are you done? I need to go to the bathroom after that."
This sentence was like a bolt from the blue, and all the expressions on Zheng Yu's face stopped abruptly at this moment.
He said "Oh" and quickly made way for Huo Juncheng.
Huo Juncheng had a cold temperament. He adjusted his suit as usual and left his side.
Zheng Yu looked at Huo Juncheng from behind, his eyes filled with hatred! What was so arrogant about this man? How dare he speak to him like that? His hands clenched at his waist, then slowly loosened as the next person approached.
All of this was seen by Lin Yilan, who was standing by. She deliberately asked Chu Siran, "Whose noble son is that in front?"
Chu Siran picked up a piece of cake from the long table with cakes on it and put it in his mouth. "This one is Mr. Zheng's son. His family is an electrical appliance tycoon. He is also a leader in Haicheng."
"Electrical appliances tycoon, that sounds awesome! I can become a milk tea tycoon someday."
Chu Siran laughed, and after tasting a piece of cake, he also took a piece for Lin Yilan: "Baby, try this, it's super delicious."
"Huh?" Before Lin Yilan could react, the cake was already in front of her mouth. She took a symbolic bite, then lowered her eyes to look at the cake in front of her: "It's really delicious. Do you think it would be perfect if I added some desserts to my milk tea shop? I always felt that our milk tea shop was missing something, and I just found out today that it was missing desserts!"
Girls can’t live without dessert and milk tea!
"Right." Chu Siran suddenly realized what Lin Yilan had reminded him of. "Yeah...my brain is really messed up! With the current sales of our milk tea shop, if we launch a few more beautiful and delicious desserts, won't we make a fortune?"
Chu Siran and Lin Yilan smiled at each other and clapped their hands excitedly: "Perfect!"
Lin Yilan didn't even think of this as Chu Siran's engagement party. She and Chu Siran tried all the desserts on the table one by one.
After Huo Juncheng came out of the bathroom, he saw Lin Yilan who was concentrating on eating.
He blinked with extreme curiosity. When did she become so interested in desserts?
