Chapter 80: Chapter 80 Are There Any Other Big Shots in Nancheng?
Old Sir Li’s banquet was reserved at the most prestigious seven-star hotel in Nancheng, and the parking lot alone was a dazzling display of luxury vehicles.
Not to ntion the overflow of cars that couldn’t fit and had to be left outside.
Chi Gui was not interested in these at all; he rely gave them a glance before turning to walk away.
However, he had only taken a few steps when he saw Zhao Yuexiu, Chi Yan, and Chi Mingkun getting out of a car ahead, with Mrs. Su and Su Qing waiting not far off.
The first thing Zhao Yuexiu and the others noticed was the parking spot left empty for the easiest parking, with people deliberately guarding it.
In such cases, it usually ant that so VIP was coming, and the spot was reserved especially for them.
...
“Is there soone particularly important in Nancheng?” Mrs. Su was sowhat surprised.
Even the Su Family hadn’t received such distinguished treatnt from Old Sir Li.
Is there a power bigger than the Su Family in Nancheng?
Mrs. Su herself didn’t know, so Zhao Yuexiu and Chi Yan knew even less.
While they were puzzled, they saw Chi Gui not far away.
And they also saw the taxi two steps behind her.
Mrs. Su was imdiately shocked, “Zhao, Mrs. Zhao… Your eldest daughter… Why did she co in a taxi?”
Su Qing, standing next to Mrs. Su, deliberately turned her head away.
Zhao Yuexiu’s face looked awful, but she still maintained a smile.
The expressions on Chi Yan and Chi Mingkun were also unpleasant.
Chi Gui’s action had caused them embarrassnt as well.
As the parking lot steadily filled with vehicles from wealthy families, Mrs. Su, feeling embarrassed, took the lead and left with Su Qing.
Chi Mingkun didn’t want to stay any longer, “Mom, let’s go! Talking to her now will just invite ridicule.”
Chi Yan pursed her lips, silent.
Zhao Yuexiu wanted to go over and say sothing to Chi Gui, but just then, several ladies from rich families got out of their cars and noticed Chi Gui’s taxi, imdiately covering their mouths and whispering amongst themselves.
Upon seeing Zhao Yuexiu, they all greeted her with a smile, “Mrs. Zhao, why aren’t you going in? Do you know that woman who ca in a taxi?”
Zhao Yuexiu pressed her lips together and decided to abandon her intention to approach, “I don’t know her; I’m leaving now.”
She led Chi Yan and Chi Mingkun away, accompanied by the few wealthy ladies.
Lucky, following behind Chi Gui, couldn’t help but frown at the scene.
But Chi Gui was completely unconcerned, striding forward with an indifferent expression.
Chi Changjing and Mr. Li’s butler were waiting at the entrance, and when he saw Zhao Yuexiu approaching with only Chi Yan and Chi Mingkun, he couldn’t help but frown, “What’s going on? Didn’t I ask you to pick up Chi Gui?”
Zhao Yuexiu, irritated at the ntion of Chi Gui’s na, replied impatiently, “Yanyan had a little problem with her dress, and by the ti we fixed it, it was nearly ti for the banquet to start. I had no ti to pick her up specially!”
Chi Yan, with her head lowered, apologized guiltily, “I’m sorry, Dad, bla , not Mom… It’s all my fault for holding us back…”
Seeing her like this, Chi Changjing’s heart softened, and he sighed, “It’s alright, let’s go in.”
After all, as long as Chi Yan was there, that was fine; Chi Gui on the other hand… eting Old Sir Li in her state, wouldn’t that be enough to sha the Chi Family?
The butler stood aside, saying nothing, and smiled as he led them upstairs.
When he ca down, Old Sir Li had not made any particular request to see that Miss Chi Family, so he figured it didn’t matter much to him.
–
On the second floor.
The reception hall, luxuriously and uniquely decorated, showcased Old Sir Li – despite being over seventy years old, he was still sprightly and sharp-eyed, betraying no sign of senility.
Mrs. Su and Su Qing were already there.
Even Mrs. Su had to speak respectfully to this elderly man, who had had dealings with the Four Major Families of Capital City.
The Chi Family of four ca in, and Chi Yan imdiately greeted him sweetly, “Hello, Grandpa Li.”
Chi Mingkun followed suit.
Old Sir Li’s face imdiately blood with a smile, “Yanyan and Ming Kun are here? Co, sit over here!”
Chi Yan and Chi Mingkun sat down next to Su Qing.
Chi Changjing and Zhao Yuexiu took seats next to Mrs. Su.
Old Sir Li looked toward the door, “What about Yin Yue, my granddaughter from Nancheng? Wasn’t she said to be coming?”
Yin Yue was the na of Chi Gui’s grandmother.
Zhao Yuexiu’s face stiffened briefly, then she smiled and said, “When we were coming up, she hadn’t arrived yet… We were worried you might be in a hurry, so we ca up ahead of her.”
