Chapter 358 Valuable Chips
Time passed by minute by minute, and guests handed out their business cards as they walked. The reason why the Chu family held such a grand engagement party was not only to inform others of their relationship with the Qin family, but also to announce the opening of the new real estate project they had co-founded with the Qin family.
"Welcome everyone to the engagement ceremony between my daughter and Qin Chaotian of the Qin family."
Dad Chu picked up the microphone on the stage, ended the greetings, and began his speech.
Huo Juncheng walked lightly through the crowd and came to Lin Yilan: "Lin Yilan." Lin Yilan heard his voice but ignored him and continued with her dessert testing.
"Lin Yilan?" Huo Juncheng called her again, unwilling to give up. Only then did Lin Yilan look up at Huo Juncheng: "What's wrong? What do you want to talk to me about?"
Huo Juncheng took out the handkerchief he carried with him from his suit and carefully wiped the cream-stained corners of Lin Yilan's mouth: "You are now Huo Juncheng's wife-to-be. Everything you do in front of outsiders represents the Huo family. So when you go out, you must pay attention to your words and actions." His words implied that he disliked Lin Yilan.
"You made yourself so embarrassed just eating. If this gets out, they'll definitely think our Huo family treated you unfairly."
Lin Yilan didn't care and continued to taste the cake in front of her: "No... I'm just investigating."
"Investigation?"
"Yeah, didn't I open a themed milk tea shop with Dean Xu Ziwen? I thought if I added some desserts, my business would definitely be even more popular!" Lin Yilan was happy thinking that she would become a wealthy woman in the future: "So you, don't hinder my path to wealth!"
Huo Juncheng: “…” It really is a way to make money.
Father Chu quickly finished his speech and invited the newlyweds, Chu Siran and Qin Chaotian, to the stage to be introduced to everyone. He also briefly explained the new business plans of the Chu and Qin families. "If you would like to cooperate in the future, please come to the company to make an appointment."
Qin Chaotian pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose and walked towards Chu's father. "Dad Chu, let me say a few words."
"good."
Father Chu immediately made room for Qin Chaotian. Qin Chaotian confidently stood on the stage, looking at Chu Siran, who was not far away, with eyes full of love. He raised the corners of his lips gently and said slowly, "This time, our Qin family has considered for a long time to cooperate with the Chu family on such a big project. At the same time, I also wish Chu Siran and I a happy marriage on this beautiful day."
Chu Xi sat silently in a corner of the crowd, watching everything that happened on the stage with heartbreak.
Chu's father said that he would consider who would marry Qin Chaotian between himself and Chu Siran... Now it's still Chu Siran. She, who is not Qin Chaotian's biological daughter, can't compare to Chu Siran, the biological daughter!
"Hehe." Chu Xi looked at Qin Chaotian's face, picked up the red wine on the table and drank it all. After she finished one glass, she poured another and wanted to drink more. Just when the quilt touched her lips, it was snatched away by a pair of white and tender hands.
Chu Xi was stunned and looked carefully...it was Song Siyu!
Song Siyu was accompanied by a foreign old man. She held his arm and the two looked very intimate. The old man looked old enough to be her grandfather.
"Song Siyu? Why are you here?" Chu Xi looked at her in surprise.
Song Siyu used fluent foreign language to ask the white-haired old man next to her to sit down, and then she sat at Chu Xi's table. She smiled sweetly, and her every move made her look like a fairy who had fallen into the mortal world.
After the plastic surgery, Song Siyu has become even more beautiful than before, making people more and more attracted to her.
"Of course I received an invitation." She smiled and took a sip of the red wine on the table. "Not bad, really generous, the engagement wine is all Lafite."
"Um."
Seeing Chu Xi so dejected, Song Siyu patted her shoulder gently to cheer her up. "I'm a little confused about you. Do you hate Chu Siran or do you like Qin Chaotian? Qin Chaotian is a very easy man to get. As long as you have a bargaining chip that he thinks is valuable, wouldn't it be easy to get him?"
"Valuable chips?"
"Yeah." Song Siyu glanced at the stage with disdain, then pulled out a cigarette from his pocket and slowly placed it between his fingers. "A man who would sell himself for money and power, do you still think love can move him? Of course it's power and money. As long as you are more useful than Chu Siran, you will get him."
Chu Xi actually didn't know how she felt about Qin Chaotian... Maybe it was just because of Chu Siran.
Chu Siran has always been better than her at everything since childhood, which has caused a huge shadow in her heart. She wants to be better than her in everything she does, and even steal her things.
"What do I have?" Chu Xi laughed self-deprecatingly. "Even my identity as the daughter of the Chu family was given by them. Apart from that, what else do I have?"
Song Siyu's hand gently covered hers: "Don't say that, don't you still have me?"
"You?" It would have been fine if she hadn't been mentioned, but the mention of Song Siyu made Chu Xi burst out laughing. "Song Siyu" couldn't even protect herself because of a murder case, and she was living a disgraceful life to evade legal responsibility! She didn't even know how to live, and what about her?
Haha, stop joking with her.
Song Siyu knew that Chu Xi didn't know her own strength yet, so she didn't blame her. Then, Chu's father suddenly announced that Mr. Bai would take the stage. Mr. Bai had considerable influence internationally and could be considered a well-known tycoon abroad.
The Chu family did not know Mr. Bai originally, and had only heard of his name.
Later, Mr. Bai suddenly contacted Chu's father and said he wanted to attend their engagement party. This was undoubtedly a great honor for them! How could he not agree to such a good thing?
As soon as Mr. Chu finished speaking, the white-haired old man next to Song Siyu slowly stood up, and at the same time, a spotlight automatically moved to him! After Mr. Bai stood up, he gently placed his hand on Song Siyu's fair shoulder and patted it, indicating that he was going up.
Song Siyu arched her eyebrows at him and said, "Hubby, be careful."
"good."
Husband...Mr. Bai! Song Siyu turned out to be the mistress of a foreign tycoon.
Chu Xi stared at Song Siyu in shock for a long moment: "You did so much just to get Huo Juncheng, didn't you? Why do you treat yourself like this?"
A light flashed in Song Siyu's eyes, and then disappeared: "I had the same idea as you before. Later I found out that you can't have feelings with businessmen. If you want to get something, you must do your best to make yourself strong! As long as you are strong, you will get what you want." As she spoke, her eyes looked intentionally or unintentionally at the opposite side far away from her.
