Just thinking about Xie Li's insane jealousy and helplessness when he watched him attend Xie Ziyuan's coming-of-age ceremony made him feel incredibly happy.
Chu Xun looked down at WeChat and chatted for a long time. When he realized that his neck was a little sore and uncomfortable, he looked at the time and found that more than an hour had passed.
The atmosphere at the scene was somewhat strange.
The three tables of guests who had arrived were originally scattered around, but after waiting for a long time without seeing any more guests, everyone got a little tired and simply gathered together to chat.
Even the longest conversation has to come to an end, so why haven't the guests come to visit?
The group awkwardly drank water frantically, then kept going to the toilet, creating a chaotic scene.
Chu Xun couldn't help but get up and go to Xie Ziyuan: "Ziyuan, why haven't the guests arrived yet? Don't they know the time and place?"
He suspected that the Shen family's butler had been too negligent, resulting in the loss of important information and the guests' delayed arrival because they couldn't find the actual banquet hall.
Xie Ziyuan stood beside Shen Linyuan in high heels, her face slightly grim—she had just sensed something was wrong and had already confirmed it with Shen Linyuan and the housekeeper.
But what's the point of confirming that? The housekeeper's work was indeed flawless. Even if there were mistakes, wouldn't the guests call her and Ding Huizhu to confirm the address?
Even though Xie Ziyuan refused to believe it, she had to confirm it at this moment—those guests intentionally refused to attend the banquet.
She simply couldn't believe it!
With the Shen family involved, who would dare to offend them?
Shen Linyuan was also very angry. He had been so enthusiastic about organizing the banquet and had even persuaded Xie Ziyuan to give her her approval, but the result was such an embarrassing situation. It was like a slap in the face to him!
The Shen family, the richest family in the country, has always been mysterious and low-key. Only their branch of the family is very active. They are the ones who convey many things about the Shen family to the outside world. Gradually, their branch of the family has become the mouthpiece and face of the Shen family.
Their branch of the family gradually came to regard themselves as superior, and they were always treated with deference in the elite circles of the capital.
Shen Linyuan had been pampered since childhood, so he couldn't stand this humiliation. He immediately called the Bai family and made them the first target.
He was already quite angry that the Bai family didn't protect Xie Ziyuan during the last auction. If they make proper compensation this time, he might not hold it against them.
And yet they are so ungrateful, they didn't even show their faces?
While listening to Shen Linyuan's phone call, where he was bossing around the Bai family and even specifically asking to see the Bai family head, Madam Huo calmly lowered her head and took a sip of tea.
He couldn't help but think more highly of Xie Ziyuan.
Her family, the Zhao family, had climbed up the social ladder by currying favor with the Bai family. How could she have dared to speak to them in such a tone?
To support Xie Ziyuan, she specially gifted her a set of expensive jewelry worth tens of millions of yuan today.
Adding to the luxury car he gifted last time, he's been particularly generous these past few days, but while generous, I also feel a little pain in my wallet.
But seeing how much the Shen family values Xie Ziyuan, he felt that his money was well spent.
As long as they can win people's hearts and completely bind themselves to Xie Ziyuan, how many benefits will they reap in the future? The Sacred Heart Fruit alone has already benefited the Huo family quite a bit.
Madam Huo got up to go to the restroom and saw Huo Yuntang talking to his assistant and giving instructions. She quickly walked over and said with a smile, "You're here. Why aren't you keeping Ziyuan company?"
She was so busy when she arrived that she was nowhere to be seen, which was indeed not as considerate as before. She was worried that Xie Ziyuan, who was sensitive and perceptive, would notice the difference in her attitude.
