As the car slowly drove into the garden gate, Xiao Ye couldn't help but be shocked by the luxurious scene in front of him.
He felt dazzled. The Zhao family's business was far greater than he imagined.
He had only heard of the Zhao family's name, but had never witnessed such luxury with his own eyes.
Every building and lawn in the garden reveals careful design and maintenance, showing the prominent status and unlimited wealth of the owner's family.
The vehicle drove slowly through the winding garden paths, and the scenery on both sides made Xiao Ye feel like he was in a world in a classic novel, which was both real and dreamy.
Zhao Yasi saw Xiao Ye's surprise and laughed softly.
"Mr. Xiao, this is grandma's residence."
"She likes silence and nature, so she especially likes this garden."
Xiao Ye nodded slightly, trying to calm down his emotions.
As the car went deeper into the garden, the location of the banquet was gradually revealed.
A magnificent manor appeared in front of them, with bright lights and bustling people. It was obvious that guests had arrived one after another.
The car stopped at the main entrance of the manor. Zhao Yasi got out of the car first, followed by Xiao Ye.
When the housekeeper standing at the door saw Zhao Yasi, he immediately smiled warmly, obviously very happy for her arrival.
"Miss, you are finally here. The old lady has been asking you when you will come."
The butler's voice was full of respect and kindness.
Zhao Yasi nodded slightly and smiled back.
"Thank you, Butler Liu. There was something delayed on the way. We are a little late."
Although they may say so, they actually arrived very early.
She turned to Xiao Ye and motioned for him to follow.
The butler's eyes lingered on Xiao Ye for a moment, with a trace of exploration and curiosity in his eyes, but he soon regained his composure.
He nodded politely to Xiao Ye, and then led the two of them towards the main building of the banquet.
"Miss, today's banquet is very luxurious. Celebrities from all walks of life will be present. Your friends will definitely like it."
As the housekeeper walked, he introduced Zhao Yasi.
Zhao Yasi responded softly.
"Thank you, Butler Liu."
The luxury of the banquet venue far exceeded Xiao Ye's imagination.
They passed through a beautifully carved marble arch, and a gorgeously decorated hall suddenly opened up before them.
A huge crystal chandelier hangs on the dome, a red carpet covers the floor, and paintings by famous artists hang on the walls. Every detail reveals luxury and sophistication.
The banquet hall was bustling with people.
The men wore formal suits and the ladies wore gorgeous evening gowns, jeweled and jeweled, like a high-society feast.
Although Xiao Ye was wearing an exquisite suit, he still felt a little uncomfortable in such an environment and was inevitably nervous.
Zhao Yasi noticed Xiao Ye's nervousness and gently pulled on his clothes, asking Xiao Ye to follow her.
Her movements were full of naturalness and elegance, as if she was used to the bustle and bustle of such occasions.
As Zhao Yasi walked through the banquet hall, Xiao Ye's eyes couldn't help but be attracted by the gorgeous scenes and bustling crowds around him.
He could feel eyes from all directions, curious scrutiny, and even envy.
Zhao Yasi felt like a fish in water under these gazes, and Xiao Ye admired her confidence and calmness.
"Mr. Xiao, please come this way."
Zhao Yasi's voice brought Xiao Ye out of his thoughts. They were walking towards a quieter area.
Passing through a gorgeous arched doorway, they entered a more elegantly decorated room.
The atmosphere in the room seemed more private and calm compared to the banquet hall.
As Xiao Ye and Zhao Yasi walked through the banquet hall together and entered more private rooms, every step they took seemed to attract the attention of the surrounding guests.
Xiao Ye next to Zhao Yasi has obviously become the focus of everyone's discussion.
Many of them did not know Xiao Ye, which intensified their curiosity.
In this social circle full of bright stars, a new face always creates a stir.
A man who seemed to be quite distinguished said half-jokingly while sipping the red wine in his hand.
"It seems that Young Master Ouyang Hao's sweetheart will not be stolen away, right?"
His words were full of provocation and teasing.
These words immediately caused a burst of laughter, and everyone's eyes focused on the young man in a corner, that was Ouyang Hao.
His face became obviously ugly, and a trace of anger and unwillingness flashed in his eyes.
Ouyang Hao's eyes flashed with complicated emotions.
Although he has no real feelings for Zhao Yasi, their family background and contact since childhood made him always pay special attention to Zhao Yasi.
When Zhao Yasi was a child, she always called "Brother Ouyang" affectionately, but now, she seemed indifferent to him, which made him feel dissatisfied.
In this social circle, Ouyang Hao was used to being sought after and respected by everyone. Zhao Yasi's attitude undoubtedly touched his self-esteem.
Seeing Zhao Yasi and Xiao Ye walking side by side, Ouyang Hao's eyes revealed a hint of jealousy and anger.
He looked at Xiao Ye's back coldly, determined to find out the origin of this man who suddenly appeared.
He waved his hand and summoned a uniformed servant.
"Go and find out who that man is. I want to know all about his background."
Ouyang Hao's voice was low and powerful, and his eyes flashed with unquestionable command.
The servant nodded in agreement and quickly left to carry out Ouyang Hao's order.
In the room, Xiao Ye followed Zhao Yasi's steps. Although he was still a little nervous, the comfort given by Zhao Yasi made him gradually relax.
They walked towards a dignified and majestic old lady in the center of the room, who was obviously Zhao Yasi's grandmother, Mrs. Zhao.
Mrs. Zhao looked at Xiao Ye with a pair of sharp eyes, curiosity and kindness in her eyes.
she asked with a smile.
"YELTS, who is this young man? He looks very elegant."
Zhao Yasi answered gently.
"Grandma, this is my friend, Xiao Ye."
Mrs. Zhao's eyes fell on Xiao Ye, with approval and curiosity in her eyes.
Xiao Ye greeted Mrs. Zhao respectfully, while the tension in his heart gradually eased.
In the company of Zhao Yasi, he felt an inexplicable sense of peace of mind.
"Welcome, young man."
Mrs. Zhao's voice is gentle and kind, and her eyes seem to be able to penetrate people's hearts, making people relax unconsciously.
During the conversation with Mrs. Zhao, Xiao Ye's eyes inadvertently fell on a string of Buddhist beads in her hand.
His heart moved. The string of Buddhist beads was unusual, emitting a faint golden light.
At this moment, his divine pupils flickered slightly, and he noticed the extraordinary content contained in the beads.
[Pearlescent relics are the objects that were born after the Buddha sat down and passed away. Wearing them can help prolong your life]
