Although Xiao Qingcheng's attitude towards Gu Yanran has changed due to Gu Yanran's identity change, the two besties still have a very deep friendship.

As soon as the two met, they gave each other a big hug. From this, we can see that the relationship between them is indeed good, and we can also see that there is a lot of friendship between them.

"Yanran, I'm really sorry. I was stuck in traffic and wasted some time. I don't know if I'm late. I made you wait longer." Xiao Qingcheng said apologetically.

"It's okay, it's okay. It's okay at all. Your coming here is the best gift for me. It's okay even if you're a little late. Oh, by the way, are these uncles and aunts?"

As Gu Yanran spoke, she looked at Xiao Chuyun behind Xiao Qingcheng, as well as their parents and their half-brother.

Seeing Gu Yanran's gaze, looking at his brother and his parents, Xiao Qingcheng quickly explained: "Yanran, let me introduce my family to you. This is my brother Xiao Chuyun, this is my father Xiao Lie, and this is my stepmother..."

After Xiao Qingcheng finished introducing, she quickly handed her gift to Gu Yanran and said, "Yanran, this is a small gift I prepared for you. I hope you don't dislike it."

Xiao Qingcheng's father Xiao Lie also stepped forward and said, "Hello, Miss Gu. I am Qingcheng's father. I learned that Miss Gu was holding a banquet here today, so our Xiao family came here specially to congratulate Miss Gu. This is a small gift from our Xiao family to Miss Gu. It's not worth much. I hope Miss Gu won't despise it."

Although Gu Yanran is his daughter's best friend and is of the same generation as his daughter, he is still Gu Yanran's elder no matter how he thinks about it.

However, Gu Yanran's status and position are no longer what they used to be. He has climbed up to the high branch of Li Daoyuan, who is a person that the entire Xiao family should look up to. Xiao Lie dare not be arrogant in front of Gu Yanran and call him an elder.

If they were not careful and offended Gu Yanran, their entire Xiao family would be in trouble.

The gift in Xiao Lie's hand was not a small gift as he casually said, and it was not worth much.

This gift was carefully selected by him. He spent nearly 10 million to purchase it, and it is priceless.

Xiao Lie hoped that through this gift and his daughter's relationship, he could get to know Gu Yanran, and preferably get to know Li Daoyuan through Gu Yanran.

If they could gain Li Daoyuan's appreciation, their Xiao family would be able to rise in status like the Gu family and become a first-class family in Jinling City.

Of course, Xiao Lie is also an ambitious person. He not only wants to get to know Li Daoyuan, but also wants to learn from Gu Yanran and become a relative of Li Daoyuan.

Although his daughter Xiao Qingcheng was a level lower than Gu Yanran in figure and appearance, and was not a stunning beauty, she was still one of the few in Jinling City.

If his daughter could get on Li Daoyuan's boat and become Li Daoyuan's woman, then he would be Li Daoyuan's father-in-law.

With this relationship, the Xiao family was able to be completely stable and become a first-class family in Jinling City.

This is also the most fundamental reason why Xiao Lie brought his daughter and the Xiao family here to attend the banquet today.

Seeing Xiao Lie's respectful attitude, Gu Yanran quickly returned the greeting and said, "Uncle, aunt, you don't have to be so polite. I am Qingcheng's best friend and you are Qingcheng's parents. I am your junior. Besides, this is just a small banquet. There is no need for such a grand gift from you. I really feel unworthy of it."

"Miss Gu, look at what you said. It is the greatest honor for our Xiao family that you can invite us here. This little gift is just a token of respect. Miss Gu, please don't look down on us. That's enough." Xiao Lie quickly returned the gift.

In front of Gu Yanran, he couldn't muster any temper or arrogance.

"Chu Yun, come quickly and meet Miss Gu. She is my best friend, you can't be impolite."

Seeing Xiao Chuyun standing there with a disdainful look, Xiao Qingcheng said threateningly,

Seeing his sister's threatening look, Xiao Chuyun had no choice but to compromise and could only stand up and say, "Xiao Chuyun meets Miss Gu."

"Qingcheng, this must be your brother. He is indeed a man with a unique personality."

Gu Yanran casually praised Xiao Chuyun and then stopped paying attention to him.

With Li Daoyuan as her master, Gu Yanran could not muster any interest in those young masters.

Especially Xiao Chuyun, this arrogant and arrogant rich second generation, she expressed disgust in her heart,

If it weren't for Xiao Qingcheng's face, he wouldn't want to pay any attention to such a person.

"Yanran, please don't be offended by my ignorant younger brother."

Seeing that Xiao Chuyun was still arrogant, Xiao Qingcheng hurriedly apologized to Gu Yanran.

She didn't want to offend Gu Yanran because of her brother's attitude, and bring unnecessary disaster to her brother and the entire Xiao family.

"Qingcheng, look at what you said. Am I the kind of person who would care about every little thing? Your brother just has a unique personality. How could I possibly care about that?"

"It's not convenient to talk outside, let's go inside and talk in detail. There are too many guests today. I will not bother you again after I greet them."

Gu Yanran said this, and gestured for them to come into the villa and talk first.

Seeing this, the entire Xiao family did not refuse and immediately walked into the villa.

There were already waiters waiting in the villa and arranged seats for them.

The Xiao family didn't dare to act presumptuously and could only follow the waiter to their seats.

As soon as he sat down, Xiao Lie warned Xiao Chuyun, "Today at Miss Gu's banquet, there will be an important person. Remember, don't cause trouble for me. You like to stir up trouble on weekdays. You must be careful this time. If you provoke that important person, don't blame your father for being ruthless and rude to you."

"I got it. I'll just hide here like a turtle. Even if there's thunder, I won't move and won't stick my head out. Is that all?" Xiao Chuyun said disdainfully.

He had no interest in such occasions in the first place, and he didn't want to attend the banquet at all. If his sister hadn't forced him to come, Xiao Chuyun would not have bothered to come.

His father was always worried that he would cause trouble for the Xiao family.

But what his father didn't know was that Xiao Chuyun was no longer the rich second generation who used to cause trouble.

He is no longer the same person now. The entire Xiao family may undergo earth-shaking changes because of his appearance, and may even reach a higher level. His father may even have to thank him.
