Three days later.
The entrance to the Cabo Santo Hotel.
An extended red carpet, gossip reporters, lighting and camera work.
One after another, luxury cars worth millions drove past the red carpet.
Then, high-ranking political officials, business tycoons, and socialites and young masters—people usually only seen on television—appeared in the public eye.
Watching these well-dressed, powerful figures emerge from their cars one by one, smiling and conversing with those beside them as they slowly walk down the red carpet, is quite a sight.
Even as the flashes from the cameras outside the cordon were almost at their limit, these people remained focused and did not look away.
This scene left even seasoned gossip reporters in awe.
This is the difference between reality and what's shown on television.
This party, which had already garnered a lot of attention online, and despite the overwhelming number of trending topics online, still did not invite celebrities, actors, or internet celebrities to such an event.
Even if you're a top star, it won't work.
Because this is the thorny circle that everyone looks up to and reveres, yet can never reach.
The day before the party began.
In order to ensure that his granddaughter would be known to everyone, Shu Qiyi specifically instructed Shu Renxuan to inform the head office's public relations department that some reporters could be allowed to attend the reception.
In Jingzhou, it's well known that such top-tier private parties would never allow unrelated individuals to attend.
Let alone allowing gossip reporters to take photos, those stern-faced security guards would quickly step in to resolve even the slightest unusual noise within a hundred miles.
This time, Shu Qiyi deliberately relaxed the requirements.
It's all for the sake of the second young lady of the Shu family.
In order to capture the first public photo of the second daughter of the Shu family, so as to announce it to the world under the guise of trending on social media.
The reporters had no choice but to obey the highest instructions from their respective ministers and wait obediently.
...
Inside the hotel.
The room was brightly lit, and the exquisite brilliance of the magnificent chandelier overhead was captivating.
Unlike usual, today all floors except the one where the reception is being held have been sealed off.
Following instructions from the highest levels, in order to prevent any accidents from occurring at this private banquet and to ensure the safety of some high-ranking political officials, all businesses were ordered to close and guest rooms were no longer available for guests.
Following Wei Bo into the banquet hall, Zhang Jinnan nodded to the familiar faces who came forward to greet him, then turned to ask Zhang Huaiyi beside him.
"Huaiyi, is your brother inside with Yiyi?"
"Yeah, I just called my brother. He's in the dressing room in the inner hall."
Upon receiving Zhang Huaiyi's reply, Zhang Jinnan nodded and continued, "Let your brother come out first. With so many elders here, the younger generation should greet them first. Don't let him be so rude."
“Uncle, this…” Considering Zhang Youye’s lazy nature, Zhang Huaiyi hesitated.
The other side.
After finishing his conversation with a friend, Zhang Zhiting turned to Zhang Huaiyi and said, "It's alright, you go and call him out first. Yiyi is a sensible girl, she'll persuade him too. That brat will definitely listen to her."
His father's words made sense, and considering Zhang Youye's wife complex and invincible love brain, Zhang Huaiyi no longer hesitated and turned to walk towards the inner hall.
...
Ten minutes ago.
The inner hall, the dressing room.
I just hung up the phone with my grandfather saying that Mr. Xu couldn't attend the party because of some research matters.
Two figures followed Zhang Youye into the dressing room.
Before Shu Yi could even open her mouth in surprise, a cute girl of similar age skipped and hopped up to her, acting as if it were their first meeting.
He even took her hand.
"Wow, my second sister looks so beautiful today! Just like my mom said, my second sister is really a very beautiful woman."
Before Shuyi could open her mouth, the cute girl spoke again.
"Second sister, I am Su Yu. Grandfather should have told you about me, right?"
Su Yu?
Shu Yi grasped the cute girl's palm with her own, then quickly glanced over her shoulder and looked at the mature and graceful woman standing beside Zhang Youye.
She nodded to her in greeting and smiled politely, "Aunt Qiuran, hello, I'm Shuyi."
Shu Qiuran is the only daughter of her great-uncle Shu De'an.
His mother died of illness when he was young, and his great-uncle loved his wife dearly and never remarried.
Like her father and uncle, Shu Qiuran has always lived in the ancestral home since childhood.
After she grew up, like all the other children in the family, she was sent abroad by her great-uncle when she reached the appropriate age.
One thing that must be mentioned is that Shu Yi had previously learned from her grandfather that Shu Qiuran was like her father.
It also possesses an invincible rebellious spirit.
While studying abroad, she met her true love, Su Rui, and was not bound by family beliefs.
Instead, they chose to get married abroad.
Later, when the two returned to China, Shu Qiuran was already pregnant with Su Yu.
Seeing that the rice had already turned into porridge, no matter how angry the uncle was, he couldn't take it out on his pregnant daughter. So, in a fit of rage, he turned his attention to Su Rui, who was kneeling on the ground, and drove her out of the Shu family's ancestral home.
He even waved and made a statement.
This child has nothing to do with Su Rui.
However, Su Rui also possessed an invincible rebellious streak. Having learned about the rules of a large family like the Shu family from his lover, he did not show any extreme reaction, but simply held her tightly in his arms as she cried.
Later, even though Su Rui was still kicked out of the ancestral home, Shu Qiuran was imprisoned in her room and not allowed to leave the house.
He did not leave, but knelt at the entrance of his ancestral home day and night, enduring wind and rain, refusing to leave no matter what.
At that time, Uncle Wei and his eldest uncle couldn't stand it anymore.
