Before the banquet started, the door was already surrounded by reporters.
In order to ensure the smooth progress of the banquet, Mr. Si arranged a number of bodyguards to protect it all around. Of course, Si Mochen knew that the person the old man was guarding against was him.
Guests have arrived one after another. The invitation list is quite large and the entire banquet hall is packed.
Lei Yanchao came in early, and of course his female companion today was Miss Chu.
The two men first looked around the venue, and after discussing the time and place to take action, they sat down in a corner and waited for the opportunity to take action.
A moment later, Zhao Sichun appeared.
She was dressed up tonight, wearing a bright red fishtail dress. As it was tailor-made, the dress fit her perfectly and highlighted her slim figure.
She has exquisite makeup on her face and wears an expensive diamond necklace, giving her the aura of a true lady.
Seeing her dressed like this, Chu Tiantian scoffed coldly, "No matter how you dress up, you can't hide the traces of cosmetic surgery. What's so good about an artificial beauty?"
Lei Yanchao hummed in agreement, "There's really nothing to see here. You're not as pleasing to the eye as me."
Chu Tiantian loved hearing this. She smiled charmingly and touched her natural face. She said, "I'm naturally beautiful, unlike Miss Zhao, who had plastic surgery on her entire face. The key is that she was so short when she was young, how come she's so tall now? This makes me wonder if she had surgery to increase her height."
Chu Tiantian didn't know Zhao Sichun inside and out, but she had a general understanding of him.
Anyway, she really couldn't appreciate this kind of acquired beauty. The key point was that even if she had a cosmetic surgery face, she wouldn't necessarily be better looking than Zhichu.
If her daughter Chuchu wore this dress, she would definitely stun the crowd.
Thinking of Xia Zhichu, Chu Tiantian's calm heart became nervous again. She didn't know how Chuchu was doing now?
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a lot of commotion coming from the front.
Chu Tiantian looked up and saw an elegant man in a black tuxedo appear.
"Master Si is here!"
She poked Lei Yanchao, then just stared at Si Mochen.
It is said that a man who is born noble will have a temperament that is hard to conceal no matter what clothes he wears, not to mention a high-quality man like Si Mochen, whose clothes are hand-tailored and every move he makes is elegant.
Just looking at him, I felt that everything I saw dimmed. This man monopolized all the starlight, so beautiful that he was unforgettable.
"He's your best friend's husband, stop being such a fangirl."
Lei Yanchao looked at the light in Chu Tiantian's eyes and quickly stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her.
Unexpectedly, Miss Chu pushed him away in disdain, muttering in dissatisfaction, "You can't bully your friend's husband, but I didn't say you can't look at him."
Lei Yanchao was speechless.
Although he was not as good as Si Mochen, he was probably better than all the men in the audience. As a result, his female companion was completely focused on Si Mochen, which made Young Master Lei lose face.
He was a little annoyed, so he stood up, picked up a glass of champagne from the waiter, and drank it all in one gulp.
As for Si Mochen, he automatically blocked the fiery gazes from the women, put his hands in his pockets, and lazily scanned the surroundings, finally his gaze fell on Lei Yanchao in the corner.
Just as I was about to move closer, my phone vibrated.
Si Mochen fished it out and opened it, and saw that it was a message from Si Guangxu.
"We already have a clue about Xia Zhichu. Immediately send people to conduct a large-scale search based on this environment."
Attached to the text message was a photo of Xia Zhichu lying on a hospital bed with tubes inserted all over his body.
Seeing Xia Zhichu so fragile, Si Mochen's heart was violently pulled, as if a pair of hands were pulling it and making him suffocate with pain.
He clenched his fists uncontrollably, and tears welled up in his eyes.
Of course, the sadness only lasted for a few seconds, and his eyes were fixed on the surrounding environment.
The bed Xia Zhichu sleeps on is made of mahogany, and the walls are covered with traditional wallpaper. This is not a hospital environment, but rather looks like an old house with a sense of age.
Si Mochen replied with the word "thank you", and then immediately sent the photo to Yan Sen, asking him to send someone to search for it immediately, and also asked An Yunxiang to be ready to start the plan at any time.
Among the crowd.
Si Guangxu watched Si Mochen busy making phone calls, and a relieved smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
This was the first time he had received gratitude from his son since he had helped him.
At this moment, he felt that all his efforts were worth it. At least as his son was trying to break free from the shackles of the Si family, he could still help as a father.
She got this photo from Chen Qin.
Ten minutes ago, Chen Qin received a call asking about Xia Zhichu's situation. Si Guangxu heard it secretly and found Chen Qin to force her to tell him Xia Zhichu's whereabouts.
Chen Qin was entrusted by the old man to not reveal her whereabouts, and finally had to send this photo to Si Guangxu.
Although it is difficult to find the residence with just a photo, Si Guangxu believes in his son's ability and is definitely capable of finding Xia Zhichu smoothly.
Mr. Si had no idea that things had taken a turn for the better. At this time, he and Mr. Zhao were drinking tea in the lounge.
"Old Zhao, after today, our two families can be considered relatives."
But Mr. Zhao didn't buy it and snorted, "It's just an engagement, it's still too early to become in-laws."
Mr. Si put down his teacup, walked over to Mr. Zhao with a smile, patted his shoulder and said, "As long as the engagement party goes smoothly, the two children will get married in a month. I promise you that I will never treat your good granddaughter unfairly."
After hearing this, Mr. Zhao's expression eased considerably. He stroked his beard and said, "That's pretty good."
As the two were chatting, Chen Qin came in to report the situation. Old Mr. Zhao had no intention of listening to other people's family affairs, so he quickly left the lounge to make room for the father-in-law and daughter-in-law.
"Dad, things aren't looking optimistic. Xia Zhichu..."
"Don't mention that woman on a day like this, it's unlucky!" Before Chen Qin could finish, Mr. Si interrupted coldly, with a cold and ruthless look in his eyes.
Chen Qin looked at the old man, and he felt as familiar as Si Mochen.
These grandfather and grandson are really similar, and their tempers are exactly the same.
It is precisely because of this that once hostility arises, no one can control the situation.
"The doctor just reported that her heart has stopped beating several times. If she is not sent to the hospital for treatment, she may not survive for much longer." Even though the old man didn't allow her to mention it, Chen Qin still felt it was necessary to report it.
After all, this matter itself was arranged by the old man, and Xiaochen cares so much about Xia Zhichu. If something unexpected happens, even if the engagement party ends smoothly, how can Xiaochen let the Si family go after knowing the truth?
But if I say it out loud, maybe I can win the old man's sympathy.
Mr. Si raised his eyebrows slightly, his expression obviously moved, but he did not speak, but kept tapping the table.
After a long while, he said calmly, "Please ask a few experts to rush over to rescue her. That woman can't die now!"
