Chapter 1056: Bai Family Banquet
Xiao Yize secretly checked the Bai family and their industries, and only found some problems in the internal production and operation of the enterprise, and did not find that the Bai family had any connection with Utopia.
But even so, Xiao Yize did not relax his vigilance and still had people keep an eye on the Bai family.
As for Bai Yueshuang, she had just returned to the country. Although she was favored in the Bai family, her status was awkward, and there was no one close to her. It can be said that the one who was closest to her was Shen Qin.
Shen Qin was the chief perfumer of the Luo family and was quite famous in the capital. Even though he was now overshadowed by Gu Yang, he was still highly respected by the wives and daughters of wealthy families.
After all, asking Shen Qin to make perfume was much easier than asking the eldest lady of the Xiao family for a bottle of perfume.
With Shen Qin as a friend, Bai Yueshuang can be considered to be able to thrive in the circle of wealthy families in Beijing.
The head of the Bai family is romantic and amorous, and has many illegitimate children, but Bai Yueshuang is the only one who was taken back to the Bai family to be raised after she was born, and was given the title of eldest daughter, which shows that she is favored.
The head of the Bai family specially held a banquet for Bai Yueshuang, wanting to introduce her to people in the circle, but was blocked by the original wife of the head of the Bai family. In the end, he could only hold a banquet on the grounds of Mrs. Bai's birthday and introduce Bai Yueshuang.
The Bai family is not among the four top families and the eight prominent wealthy families, but because the Bai family and the Ji family are related by marriage, the Bai family is still conspicuous among the ordinary wealthy families in Beijing.
Naturally, invitations were also sent to the Xiao family and the Gu family for Mrs. Bai's birthday banquet.
Tong Wan did not go to the Xiao family. As the mistress of the Xiao family, her every move attracted attention, and the Bai family was not qualified for her to attend in person.
Moreover, Tong Wan heard from Xiao Yize that Gu Yang did not like the Bai family, and would not send a signal that the Xiao family and the Bai family had a good relationship.
Ruan Xueling did plan to go to the Gu family. Although Gu Zhaoming became the head of the Gu family, they and his wife had a shallow foundation in the capital, and needed more socializing to expand their network.
Gu Yang and Gu Jin also accompanied Ruan Xueling.
Bai family.
Because the head of the Bai family favored Bai Yueshuang, even if Mrs. Bai did not like this illegitimate daughter who suddenly returned to the country, she could only listen to the head of the Bai family, Bai Shao, and take her with her. However, she was not very happy after all.
Mrs. Bai brought Bai Yueshuang, who was wearing a snow-white dress, to entertain the guests. She was very dignified the whole time. When she heard the housekeeper come to report that the eldest daughter of the Xiao family had arrived, she was immediately surprised.
"Is it Miss Xiao Yang? Am I seeing right?"
The housekeeper was also very happy: "Yes. Miss Xiao came with Mrs. Gu and Miss Gu."
The new head and mistress of the Gu family raised the eldest daughter of the Xiao family. This was a well-known fact in the capital, so it was not surprising that Gu Yang would come to the banquet with Ruan Xueling and Gu Jin.
Although Mrs. Bai was a little disappointed that Tong Wan, the mistress of the Xiao family, did not come with them, she did not dare to neglect it when she heard that Gu Yang was coming to the banquet. She immediately took Bai Yueshuang and other daughters in the family to greet him in person.
Mrs. Bai was enthusiastic, "Mrs. Gu and the two daughters, please come in."
Knowing that Ruan Xueling also liked Gu Yang very much, and that Gu Yang did not come as the daughter of the Xiao family, Mrs. Bai assumed that she was Ruan Xueling's daughter.
Ruan Xueling also greeted her.
"Yueshuang, this is Miss Xiao, the jewel in the crown of the head of the Xiao family, Miss Gu Yang. This is the jewel in the crown of the head of the Gu family, Miss Gu Jin." Mrs. Bai glanced at Bai Yueshuang coldly and asked her to greet Gu Yang and Gu Jin.
Bai Yueshuang was stunned when she saw Ruan Xueling, and was a little dazed for a moment. When she heard Mrs. Bai's words, she was a little absent-minded when she greeted them.
