Xie Zian ignored him and walked straight toward the banquet hall.
Huo Yuntang frowned, feeling a little distant from his younger brother.
Originally, I was planning to take advantage of this banquet to introduce Xie Zi'an to the Huo family's relatives, so that they could have an assistant when Xie Zi'an took control of Xie's Pharmaceutical Technology Group in the future.
However, it seems unnecessary now.
"Zi'an, you need to think this through. What you're doing will really hurt Ziyuan," Huo Yuntang said, trying to persuade her. "I don't have time to waste here with your nonsense..."
As they were talking, a person suddenly walked out from around the corner of the corridor.
Xie Li only came out to see what was going on when he heard the commotion, and when he peeked out, he saw a familiar face.
However, she didn't take it seriously. When Xie Zian came over, she took the initiative to say, "You want to attend my family reunion banquet? You're welcome."
Xie Zian hummed in agreement, looking somewhat awkward. "Sorry, I came a bit suddenly. I already prepared the gift..."
Before I could finish explaining, a slightly flustered voice rang out, "It's you!"
Huo Yuntang strode forward, looked at the girl in front of him, then looked around, and finally understood, "You are Xie Li?"
Xie Li remained calm, glanced at Huo Yuntang, and said, "Yes, I am Xie Li. It's been a long time."
She felt that this person didn't seem to be there for her family reunion banquet, so her expression was somewhat indifferent. If Huo Yuntang hadn't taken the initiative to greet her, she wouldn't have even bothered to acknowledge him.
Huo Yuntang was very excited. The person he had been searching for for so long had actually been right beside him all along. How could he remain calm?
The girl before him was more refined and noble than when they first met on the mountain. She was no longer the mountain spirit who seemed to be there in the mountains, but a delicate and proud little princess.
But her beautiful eyebrows and eyes remained as stunning as ever, making one want to possess and cherish them.
After calming down, Huo Yuntang quickly assessed the situation and said with a smile, "I've been wanting to find you for a while now, I never expected that we would be so destined to meet."
"Come with me to the Yunhe Grand Hotel next door. All the celebrities in Linjiang City are there today. It'll be a good opportunity for you to meet them."
Xie Li glanced at him inexplicably, and that familiar feeling of disgust returned.
That's how he was when he was on the mountain, talking to himself with some strange sense of superiority, saying he wanted to sponsor her studies, even though she had already refused, he kept talking.
Later, she became so annoyed with him that she avoided him and instead connected with Jiang Baili and Wang Xiangxiang until she left Tiandu Mountain.
"No need, I'm doing fine here." Xie Li declined, gesturing to Butler Wu, "You can go about your business."
Butler Wu turned and left in a hurry; he didn't have time to argue with Huo Yuntang any longer.
The scale of today's banquet far exceeded his expectations, rendering his original plans somewhat inadequate, so he had to quickly remedy the situation.
"There's hardly anyone here." Huo Yuntang didn't like being rejected, but when faced with that face that haunted his dreams, he couldn't bring himself to be assertive.
His tone was coaxing, "Lili, be good, okay? We haven't seen each other for so long. You're my savior, and the entire Huo family will dote on you and repay you."
Xie Li regretted saving this person in the first place, and she reached out and grabbed Xie Zi'an.
"Let's go!"
This person is really annoying, even more annoying than Pei Si!
She lifted her skirt and hurried away in her high heels, looking as anxious as if she were fleeing a flood or a ferocious beast.
But in Huo Yuntang's eyes, there was a hint of ambiguity that was hard to explain. He felt that Xie Li was shy, as she was always very easily embarrassed.
