However, on the other hand, if Xu Zhen hadn't acknowledged his relationship with Old Master Xu, he probably wouldn't have been invited to the banquet today.
After all, Butler Wu knew Old Master Xu and knew that he was the neighbor next door and treated Xie Li very well, to the point that he wished he could recognize her as his own granddaughter.
But who is Xu Zhen? Wu is just a housekeeper who doesn't work in the business world, so it's hard to connect him to this big shot right now.
Anyway, that's how things were arranged.
Xu Zhen's secretariat was naturally very efficient, and soon people came over from the Yunhe Hotel next door, and went straight to apologize to Old Master Xie.
Grandpa Xie didn't mind at all; on the contrary, he had people treat him well.
When Xie Li came out, he was dumbfounded to see so many unfamiliar faces in the banquet hall.
She had at least met Grandpa Xu's elders before, and a few familiar old men who had visited the mountain before.
However, these unfamiliar faces surprised her. She knew that they were the real guests invited by Old Master Xie. But shouldn't these people be attending Xie Ziyuan's birthday banquet at the Yunhe Hotel next door?
Shen Lian came with her parents. When she saw Xie Li come out, she secretly grabbed Xie Li's arm.
"Haha, that's hilarious! You know what? Today, everyone in Linjiang City who has anything to do with the Xie family has been coerced and lured to the neighbor's house."
"They also spread the word that Grandpa Xie is not feeling well, but he will attend the family reunion banquet."
"As a result, Xie's guests started leaving one by one, and now the banquet hall over there is practically deserted; it can only be described as desolate."
Madam Shen had little interaction with the Xie family before, but recently she has become closer to Huichuntang because of her collaboration with Xie Li on hair growth tonic.
Ironically, the threatening phone calls from the Huo family even reached the Shen family.
Isn't this ridiculous? They don't even know why the Shen family partnered with Huichuntang. It's no wonder Madam Shen would never pay them any attention.
Moreover, judging from the Huo family's plans, they want to obtain the formula for the hair growth serum so they can get a share of the profits.
Sure enough, because of the previous scandal involving Xie Li, Madam Shen knew how to seize the opportunity. While refuting the rumors, she also heavily promoted the hair growth serum, which caused it to sell out in the past few days.
Moreover, the feedback from customers and netizens has been very positive, which is more effective than any form of advertising.
There are countless people eager to cooperate with Huichuntang and Madam Shen, all clutching their money. Who exactly is the Huo family trying to impress with their arrogant and condescending attitude?
Speaking of this, Shen Lian couldn't help but complain in a low voice, "You, who are clearly the legitimate daughter of the Xie family, almost had your family recognition banquet ruined by a fake phoenix."
"You should have told us sooner. People like Su Ying, Si Yuan, and Shen Wanwan can still stand up for you."
Now the others are quite complaining.
As she spoke, Chen Lian pulled up a video and showed the live feed to those people.
"Look, your Lili is doing very well, she has someone backing her up."
Su Ying: "Lili, you look so beautiful today, I want to give you a little rub~~"
Shen Wanwan watched Xie Li in the video carefully and agreed, "Yes, your makeup, hair, dress, and jewelry all suit you very well today."
Actually, she was a little embarrassed. Not only did Su Ying want to pet her, but she did too! Li Shen was absolutely stunning today!
Xie Li's expression was somewhat stunned. After a moment, he tilted his head slightly and smiled.
Her smile stunned everyone, both those watching on and off screen.
