Seeing that Lan Xi was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes, everyone stopped talking. The little girl acted as a pillow and patted her gently to help her rest.
Qin Zhong's eyes fell on Qin Xiangnan from time to time, and then he picked up his phone and sent a message to his father.
Half an hour later, Zhu Lingling came in with Yuan Yuan. She walked over to Lan Xi and whispered, "Miss, the old man wants you to leave."
Eyes opened, expression clear, Lan Xi slowly stood up and took the handbag handed to her by Zhu Lingling: "Let's go out!"
Everyone got on the elevator, and it began to descend. Lan Xi lowered her eyes and looked at the people walking around below...
“Look!”
Someone shouted from below, and everyone looked up. In the elevator, the top wealthy families and outstanding young people in Shanghai with extraordinary temperament were slowly descending.
Lan Xi was in charge of the railing. The cousin of the Wang family was laughing and talking about something next to them. Qin Zhong was leaning on the other side with an unbridled smile, and seemed to be holding a mobile phone in his hand.
People suddenly realized that these noble families who supported Lan Xi seemed to have squeezed into the first echelon of Shanghai's wealthy families.
The Wang family seems to have recently officially announced Wang Yue as the first heir. Yuan Shasha officially changed her name to Wang Shasha, becoming the most likely next heir.
The brand revenue under Qin Zhong ranks first in the Qin family. I think the successor of the Qin family will be announced soon!
Qin Xiangnan! Besides being a hard-to-find designer, she's also the future fiancée of Shi Tinghan, the current head of the Shi family!
Jiang Xing and Zhu Lingling are now senior executives holding shares in Lan's company. I heard that Lan Xi has handed over the power in his hands to them!
Even... people's complicated eyes fell on the young girl next to Zhu Lingling, and they sighed that Lan Xi had started training the younger generation much earlier than them!
The elevator door opened and Lan Xi walked out slowly. The others followed her consciously. Not far away, Lan Xiangfu followed the crowd and watched his granddaughter coming down from upstairs, his face full of pride!
"Grandpa!" Lan Xi walked through the crowd and stood in front of Grandpa. She picked up the champagne from the waiter's tray and greeted Mr. Shi beside him: "Grandpa Shi!"
"Xixi's overall temperament is really becoming more and more like that of the head of the family!" Old Master Shi nodded and said appreciatively, as if there was no regret in his eyes.
His gaze fell on Qin Xiangnan and he sighed inwardly. Until now, he still liked Lan Xi. That child... had too dull a temperament!
Qin Xiangnan was standing not far from Lan Xi, chatting with Zhu Lingling and the others. She felt the old man's gaze and knew why he was looking at her like that.
Lan Xi... is indeed more cunning than me!
In this cannibalistic wealthy family, she is indeed not as likable as her. It’s not that the old man dislikes her, he just thinks Lan Xi is more suitable for the Shi family!
But... Lan Xi has always been the head of the family, and the identity of the head of the family's wife has long been discarded by her!
I have to say that she was right. She had not agreed to Shi Tinghan's engagement for such a long time because she saw in Lan Xi the stubbornness of not relying on anyone.
Also, her current position means that she no longer needs to rely on anyone and can look down on all living beings.
"What are you thinking about?" Someone patted his shoulder, and Jiang Xing's face enlarged in front of Qin Xiangnan, and she said with a smile.
Holding out his glass to clink with Jiang Xing, Qin Xiangnan raised the corner of his mouth in a good mood: "Nothing, I'm just in a good mood!"
Lan Xi smiled without saying anything, took a sip of wine, and followed her grandfather to chat with his friends. The big shots who influenced the Shanghai economy and controlled the lifeline of the last century were concentrated in the area centered around her.
Qin Zhong leaned against the display stand, shaking the red wine in his hand, looking up and down the banquet hall, and couldn't help sighing at Mr. Lan's wealth. It was just a birthday, but he made such a big fuss!
"Stop being so greedy. Your eyes are about to pop out. You look so stingy!" A female voice sounded, and Yang Ning appeared beside Qin Zhong.
Qin Zhong didn't look at her. He looked across the crowd at Lan Xi. His smile faded and his tone became colder: "How come Miss Yang has her own banquet hall? Or..."
He lowered his gaze to look at Yang Ning, and suddenly smiled teasingly, "Oh! Wearing a skirt? I remember Miss Yang used to dislike these the most!"
Looking down at the pearly white fishtail dress she was wearing, she could hear the warning Yang You gave her when he entered the room.
"If you can't control your temper, don't even think about going out again!"
Yang You was dressed neatly in a suit. When he said these words, he smiled at his partner who was not far away. The coldness in his voice still made Yang Ning shiver.
In the eyes of outsiders, he was holding his newly married wife with a face full of tenderness and doting, but they didn't know that in the corner where they couldn't hear or see, Yang Ning's spirit was on the verge of collapse.
She tugged at the hem of her skirt unnaturally and retorted to Qin Zhong in a stern voice: "If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb!"
"Tsk!" Qin Zhong scoffed and was about to leave with his glass in hand, but Yang Ning stopped him with a hand: "What are you doing?"
Yang Ning's expression changed several times as she stammered. She knew that Qin Zhong was impatient and wanted to shake her off: "I want to see Lan Xi!"
"Look! Turn right and walk a few steps. Why do you need me to pass on the message for you?" Qin Zhong knew what Yang Ning wanted to do, but he didn't want to care and couldn't care.
Yang Ning anxiously grasped Qin Zhong's sleeve and was about to say something when someone grabbed his other hand.
"Ning'er, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Do you want to go and rest?" Yang You put his hand on Yang Ning's forehead and looked at Yang Ning with a worried look on his face.
Yang Ning's expression froze. He met Yang You's gaze and saw the warning in his eyes: "No...it's okay! Qin Zhong and I haven't seen each other for a long time. Let's catch up!"
