Chapter 414: 0413 Birthday Banquet 1 (First Update)_1
At seven in the evening, Yang Yueru drove the car, taking Yang Dingguo and his wife, along with Yang Xinyi, toward Kyoto Grand Hotel.
On the way, Yang Dingguo and his wife were silent, as if they had sothing to say but hesitated.
Finally, Zhao Lizhen could not hold back and said, “Xinyi, if mom and dad have done anything that wronged you, it was all for your own good.”
“Mom, I know, you don’t have to say it.” Yang Xinyi thought she was referring to the matter between her and Ye Xiong.
“Su Zhentian is a well-known figure in the Capital City, with great personal and social conduct, and he is a good man,” Zhao Lizhen continued.
“What does his character have to do with ?”
...
“Of course, it has to do with you, actually…”
“Lizhen, we can talk about it later,” Yang Dingguo interrupted her.
Zhao Lizhen sighed and did not speak further.
The car soon arrived at the hotel and stopped at the entrance.
“Brother, you and sister-in-law Xinyi go in first. I’ll go park the car,” Yang Yueru said.
“Let’s go in first!”
The three got out of the car and walked into the hotel lobby.
They ascended to the third floor.
At the entrance of the hall, the Su Wei couple was greeting guests. When they saw Yang Xinyi appear, their expressions imdiately soured.
“Duan Wu, that useless man, screwed over hundreds of millions and couldn’t even handle one person,” Su Wei muttered under his breath.
“If Duan Wu couldn’t handle it, it proves one thing, that Yang Xinyi has a master protecting her,” Miao Chunhua replied.
“What should we do then, just stand by and watch her enter our Su Family? I can’t swallow this,” Su Wei said.
“If force doesn’t work, then let’s use strategy. If we can’t beat her, we won’t let her have an easy ti. Sotis being disgraced is the most painful. I want to see if Su Zhentian will still acknowledge her when he finds out his daughter from outside is a woman of loose morals,” Miao Chunhua snorted.
“What do you an?” Su Wei asked, puzzled.
“I’ve already sent soone to check up on that bastard’s background and have inford your mother and sister. If Su Zhentian dares to acknowledge her, your mom and sister definitely won’t let him off. When that ti cos, we just need to sit back and enjoy the show. Regardless of what happens, it doesn’t concern us,” Miao Chunhua said with a sneer.
“Wife, you are really too clever. When the ti cos, even if dad blas anyone, it will only be mom and sister, not us. This is killing two birds with one stone,” Su Wei said excitedly.
“They’re here; let’s relax a bit,” the two of them went up to greet them.
“Your esteed presences bring honor to the Su Residence,” Su Wei said courteously.
“You’re too kind. Everyone says Young Master Su is a dragon among n, and now that I’ve seen you, your reputation is well deserved,” Yang Dingguo responded.
“Not at all, please, this way,” Su Wei gestured inside.
Yang Dingguo and his wife, accompanied by Yang Xinyi, entered.
Watching Yang Xinyi’s retreating figure, Su Wei could not take his eyes off her. Seeing this, Miao Chunhua scolded, “What are you looking at? She’s your half-sister with the sa father but different mothers.”
“I never thought this bastard would be so beautiful,” Su Wei said.
“What does beauty amount to? Just wait and see how she dies,” Miao Chunhua said jealously.
Yang Dingguo and his wife, together with Yang Xinyi, entered and soon saw Su Zhentian entertaining the guests.
“Big brother Su, we are here,” Yang Dingguo called out.
Su Zhentian’s eyes lit up as he hurried over, excitedly saying, “You’ve arrived.”
His gaze fell upon Yang Xinyi, and he was visibly moved, almost unable to look away.
Although he had seen Yang Xinyi many tis in photos and videos, this was his first ti seeing her in person.
She looked so much like her mother, just like her mother’s appearance when she was young.
Su Zhentian’s eyes beca moist as he reminisced about the process of getting to know her mother.
Seeing Su Zhentian staring at her unwaveringly, the corners of Yang Xinyi’s mouth twitched.
This old man is sixty years old and still looks at people with such eyes. Does he have no sense of sha at all?
She had no idea that Su Zhentian had another layer of aning, thinking that like so rich old n, seeing a beautiful woman, he had bad intentions. Feeling repulsed, she quietly moved two steps away.
“I’m sorry, I got a bit too excited,” Su Zhentian finally ca to his senses, pointing to the seat of honor and said, “Please, this way.”
The three of them sat down at the table closest to the stage.
Yang Xinyi was puzzled; this table was the second-best spot at the entire birthday banquet, after the family table. How could Su Zhentian arrange for her and her family to sit here?
Moreover, the look Su Zhentian gave her earlier, upon reflection, did not seem like the gaze of so sleazy old n toward young and pretty girls. How could soone of his status stare at a young girl like that at his own birthday celebration, unafraid of losing face? Especially in front of so many acquaintances and reporters.
Yang Xinyi mulled over the look he had given her, feeling it was filled with emotion.
There were many things she did not understand and wanted to ask about, but because of the unpleasantness with Ye Xiong and her parents, she was not in the mood for anything; she just wanted to get the birthday celebration over with and go back to sleep, not caring about anything else.
Just then, she spotted Ye Xiong walking in through the entrance alone.
This guy, like a ghost that won’t go away.
Yang Xinyi turned her face away, ignoring him.
Ye Xiong wanted to co over, but seeing her rejecting eyes, he walked dejectedly to sit down in a corner.
Yang Xinyi felt a pang of heartache, turned her head aside, but then noticed a woman at the next seat glaring at her fiercely, her eyes filled with flas of hatred.
The woman was in her twenties, a few years older than herself. Yang Xinyi did not recognize her and had never seen her before. Why was she glaring at her?
And Su Zhentian, who was far away entertaining guests, kept glancing at her from ti to ti, his gaze very unusual. The general feeling made Yang Xinyi think there was sothing strange about tonight’s birthday banquet.
“Xinyi, see that girl? Her na is Su Yue, the sister of Su Wei who greeted us at the entrance, and she is Su Zhentian’s eldest daughter,” Zhao Lizhen introduced.
She was pointing at the very woman who had been glaring at her, still staring fiercely at her even now.
“Mom, does our family have a grudge against her?” Yang Xinyi asked.
“Of course not, we have no quarrels or grievances.”
“Then why does she look as though I’ve murdered her entire family?”
Yang Xinyi, a prominent figure in Jiangnan, who managed a company with thousands of employees, had never experienced being so disrespected. Her gaze returned unyieldingly, sending back a look of disregard.
This glance imdiately enraged Su Yue.
She shot up from her seat and strode toward Yang Xinyi’s table, standing in front of her.
“You wild spawn, what do you an by that look?” Su Yue snapped.
“Whom are you calling wild spawn?” Yang Xinyi’s eyebrows lifted.
“I’m calling you—”
Before she could finish, Yang Xinyi stood up and fiercely slapped her across the face.
Slap!
The crisp sound of the slap echoed through the hall.
