I didn't expect that when I entered the gate, it wasn't the Shi family. This could only be considered the front yard. Following Assistant Liang, they got into another sedan. The car circled along the mountain road until it finally saw flashing lights and crowded people, only then did it know that its destination had arrived.
When Jin Xiaoji and the others got off the car, they hadn't caught anyone's attention yet. Although the banquet hadn't started yet, many guests had already started to entertain themselves. Wine, flowers, music, and pastries intertwined into the luxurious upper class life of the Shi family.
They stopped in a quieter corner, each holding a glass of wine, and began to observe the surrounding environment, imitating the way these people looked.
Didn't we just hold a banquet to thank us for saving Shi Jiu? Why are there so many strangers here? Look, is that Shi Jiu's grandmother over there? I heard she has been living abroad for over a decade, but I didn't expect to come back today
Bohe was a little nervous and relieved her stress by talking to someone else. The person she was talking about was the woman who was surrounded by people across from her. The old woman should be almost sixty years old, but she looked much older than her peers, with gray hair and a haggard appearance. No matter how much makeup was applied to her face, it could not conceal the melancholy in her eyes.
Not only her, but everyone else has also come. "Taking a sip of champagne, Mu Dongyang coldly looked ahead." I think they said thanking us was just a cover, and the Shi family may have ulterior motives tonight
Mu Dongyang's words caused a huge uproar, and Bo He became even more nervous. Cui Zizhi was eager to search for Shi Jiu's whereabouts, but there were so many people here. If it weren't for their noble status and prominent appearance, others wouldn't have been able to see them at all.
Jin Xiaoji remained silent, and the tall cup gently shook, creating a sparkling amber liquid. She couldn't be as excited as others, even though her heart was tumultuous, she still showed a nonchalant smile. The show hadn't started yet, and not a single person who should have appeared had come.
After a long time, there was suddenly a commotion across the street. Many servants lined up in neat rows and blocked a passage for people to walk in parallel. Everyone stopped talking and looked back.
Such a grand spectacle, those who come must not be ordinary people.
At the end of the aisle, a few tall figures appeared faintly, as they carried spotlights on their backs. Before others could see who it was, warm applause had already started pouring in like a tide.
Jin Xiaoji squinted her eyes, her gaze passing over them one by one, and finally landed on a somewhat thin figure behind them. The person had a rebellious face, with wolf like eyes emitting a disdainful cold light. Even if hidden in a corner, their handsome appearance was particularly eye-catching.
Shi Jiu! "As they approached, Cui Zizhi suddenly shouted, and Shi Jiu turned around, his face full of surprise.
Why are you here
Didn't you invite us here? "Shi Jiu's attitude made Cui Zizhi a little unhappy and her face darkened." When everyone was in the hospital that day, didn't your male assistant come to see you? Later, he told us he wanted to hold this banquet to thank us. Don't you pretend not to know if I don't ask
I really don't know. Tonight is our family's private banquet, and all the relatives are here. Even if Assistant Liang wants to thank you, he shouldn't have chosen this time. "Shi Jiu's brow tightened as he looked at the crowd with different expressions, his face turned cold, and he said," Actually, you can think about it. The only ones who really saved me are Jin Xiaoji and Zizhi. So even if I have to thank you, it's thanks to you. What does it have to do with them
Shi Jiu spoke very impolitely, and Bo He's face turned red with anger. Only Mu Dongyang remained calm, but he also said coldly, "We have nothing to do, but because you invited Jin Xiaoji, I must come this time
There was a smell of gunpowder in the air. Shi Jiu sneered and looked at Mu Dongyang up and down, saying, "You're really great. You took care of her here, but
After saying half a sentence, he glanced at Jin Xiaoji again, his expression changed, and continued, "But I advise you to leave quickly. This is not the place you should be here today. If there is anything to thank, I will personally go and invite it another day. I will have someone escort you now
Shi Jiu, who are you talking to
Before Shi Jiu could finish speaking, a voice suddenly came in. Everyone saw his face stiffen and he impatiently turned around.
He was called his father, and Mr. Shi was standing with several middle-aged men who had similar facial features and were probably relatives of the Shi family. Mr. Shi's gaze crossed over the crowd and fell on Jin Xiaoji and a few others. He smiled strangely, with a kind face, and then waved to Shi Jiu.
Shi Jiu's face became increasingly ugly. After the father and son looked at each other, Mr. Shi suddenly whispered a few words to someone, and then several men dressed as servants surrounded him.
Damn it! "Shi Jiu spat softly at those who came with ill intentions and hurriedly turned around." I'll let you go, Mu Dongyang. Take them down now
In the blink of an eye, those servants arrived and did not show any extreme behavior from them. They only sent someone to whisper something in Shi Jiu's ear, and then he stiffened and walked back unwillingly.
As soon as he left, everyone else's faces looked very unpleasant, especially Cui Zizhi. She had been friends with Shi Jiu for a long time, but it was the first time she had been treated like this.
What the hell is he up to? Is this kid crazy and lacking in manners? "Cui Zizhi waved her fists at Shi Jiu's back, her face still filled with disbelief.
No matter if he's crazy or not, I can't stay in this place anymore. What kind of person does he treat me like? Our Bo family isn't that easy to bully
Bohe looked like she was about to cry, but she spoke harshly without confidence. She searched everywhere for the shadow of Assistant Liang, and with a frantic roar, she wished she could go back now.
Suddenly offending everyone, only Shi Jiu has the ability to do so. Everyone else is itching with hatred, except for Jin Xiaoji who keeps an eye on the other side's movements. Shi Jiu had already started arguing with his father, and the two had different opinions. Their faces were red and their necks were thick, which had already caught the attention of some relatives.
What about you? Do you want to go back? "A voice suddenly stood behind him, and Mu Dongyang sighed softly," Xiao Ji, do you already know something? Or
I won't leave, I'll stay. I want to see with my own eyes the person who invited us to the banquet
Quietly interrupting him, Jin Xiaoji laughed. It seemed that Mu Dongyang had already known her secret. As early as the afternoon when he visited him at Yangshan Hospital, he had said that his family background was extraordinary, and she was so late to realize it, causing people to worry for so long for nothing.
As if seeing the determination in Xiao Ji's eyes, Mu Dongyang's mouth moved and he didn't advise anymore, while the others were full of passion. Xiao Ji couldn't leave, and they all shouted.
If Xiaoji doesn't leave, I won't leave either! I, Bohe, am not the kind of person who can come and go at will
What are you going to do? It's so embarrassing. When that kid was threatened, he came to school every day to beg me. Now that no one is threatening him, he just wants to kick me open? There's no door
Alright, alright, if you don't leave, you won't leave. It was just Shi Jiu's personal opinion just now, and has nothing to do with the old man of the Shi family. "With three stubborn women by his side, Mu Dongyang had to compromise. He smiled bitterly and shook his head, then looked ahead and said," Hey, look, it seems like Shi Jiu is leaving
Shi Jiu was about to leave, so he flipped the tall cup upside down on the table and almost knocked over someone else's cup while drawing his hand. His actions angered his father, who glared fiercely at him before turning around and leaving.
After he left, that position was quickly taken over by another person. As soon as she saw her face, Jin Xiaoji's brow furrowed.
How could she be here? Isn't Fei Chan your mother's friend
Her appearance tonight was very shocking, with a black opaque Taoist robe, meticulous shiny hair bun, and a stern coffin face. Wherever she went, anyone who knew her would bow, even those who didn't know her would find the opportunity to meet her.
I don't know either. Master Fei is very famous in that industry, and not only my mother knows her
Bohe was also stunned. She couldn't figure out how Fei Chan got into a relationship with Shi Jiu's father, and their relationship seemed extraordinary. Since she appeared, she had been following Mr. Shi closely, like a dark shadow.
Seeing the close relationship between the two, Jin Xiaoji had a vague sense of foreboding, but before she could think about it, she was completely attracted by another unexpected person.
That's actually Shi Chen. Since the last attempted kidnapping and intimidation of Shi Jiu, he has completely disappeared without a trace. Cui Zizhi's father searched the entire Xilin City but couldn't find this person. Unexpectedly, after several days, he ran into him here.
Shi Chen's appearance was very secretive. He was like an invisible shadow, always hiding at the back of the crowd. If it weren't for Jin Xiaoji keeping an eye on Shi Jiu's father and him always looking behind "unintentionally", Xiaoji would never have discovered this secret.
Those two people thought they acted seamlessly, only making eye contact, but Jin Xiaoji's eyesight was amazing. She could see every move they made clearly, and naturally wouldn't let go of the malice on their faces.
These two people actually teamed up!
Jin Xiaoji's first reaction was whether Shi Jiu knew or not. Judging from their father son relationship just now, if Shi Jiu knew, he would definitely strongly oppose it. As for whether his way of opposing was the same as before, it is unknown.
Before the dinner party even started, she saw so much exciting content. Xiao Ji closed her eyes and smiled, lost in thought.
When she opened her eyes again, a strong spotlight suddenly shone on a stone wall at the entrance, creating a colorful glow on the wall. The wall was divided into two parts, and a large group of figures came from far and near, surrounding the figure at the top that looked like an emperor on earth. The show finally began.
