After playing for a full week, Lingchan finally returned to China.
After getting off the plane, she got into Mrs. Jiang's car.
Mrs. Jiang took her to the best styling studio in Jiuchuan.
Lingchan was sitting in front of the dressing table, and the stylists surrounding her were praising her, "Oh, how could there be such a beautiful child!"
"What a God-given beauty!"
Through the mirror, Lingchan saw Mrs. Jiang with her eyebrows furrowed, seeming a little worried.
"What's wrong, mom?" Lingchan asked.
"Why did the Huo family suddenly hold such a large-scale banquet today?" Mrs. Jiang asked, "Chanchan, did Jiu Ke tell you anything?"
"No."
"That kid Jiuke let your pigeon fly... This has never happened before. Logically speaking, a banquet of this size is usually a big celebration, but recently... is there any movement in the Huo family?" Mrs. Jiang asked doubtfully .
"We'll find out in the evening." Lingchan said with a smile.
…
The Huo family's banquet was also held at the Hera Hotel.
This is a super five-star luxury hotel. For the Huo family's banquet, every door and every light was opened.
There was a constant flow of luxury cars in front of the door. Rich people in expensive clothes handed over invitations and were respectfully introduced into the carefully decorated hotel lobby by the waiter.
There are too many guests here today.
There were even media and reporters wearing badges, holding long guns and short cannons, waiting.
When the Jiang family couple brought Lingchan in, familiar people immediately gathered around to say hello and secretly inquire about the reason for the banquet.
Father Jiang brushed everything off casually, and he was a master of Tai Chi.
"Mr. Jiang, this is unreasonable. As an in-law of the Huo family, how can you not know some first-hand information? Don't be stingy?"
There was a strange air of yin and yang in these words.
Father Jiang frowned, and Huo Jiuke walked over quickly.
"Uncle, now that we've reached this point, there's no rush, right?"
The young man in a pure black suit is handsome. His loose forehead hair is all combed up with hairspray, revealing sharp and clear facial features.
He is still young, and such a solemn dress cannot cover up the refreshing youthful aura of his body, but his gentle smile and when he speaks, there is a sense of authority that cannot be refuted by a superior.
His polite demeanor, etiquette and words are all so thoughtful that no one can fault him.
"Please be patient and wait for a moment. You will know the answer soon."
Huo Jiuke took away the Jiang family and placed them at the table closest to the main table as usual.
After all, Lingchan is still just the fiancée. When the children really get married, the Jiang family will probably be able to move to the head table.
Father Jiang and Mother Jiang took their seats. Huo Jiuke held the back of Lingchan's chair and half-bent down to talk to her, "Wait a minute...don't be afraid."
Ling Chan's already thick eyelashes were carefully taken care of, making them even thicker and curled. She blinked them lightly, as if she was going to itch Huo Jiuke's heart.
His tone became softer, "Don't worry, no matter what happens... I will take good care of you and won't let anyone bully you."
Lingchan looked up at him and smiled as sweetly as usual, "Okay."
Huo Jiuke's polite smile revealed a bit of soft sincerity.
He said goodbye to the Jiang family and his wife again, said a few polite words to everyone at the round table who came up to chat with him when they saw him, and left in a hurry.
He is very busy.
He will always be responsible for more or less the Huo family's banquets as a training for the heirs.
But no matter how busy he was, Huo Jiuke would always pick up Lingchan and his parents one after another after the Jiang family arrived.
The Jiang family's level was not enough to be seen at the Huo family's banquet.
Although the parents have finalized the marriage contract between the two families, and many people know about it, most of them don't take it seriously.
If you are serious about it and the kids are young, why not hold an engagement party?
In fact, Huo Jiuke was very willing to get engaged.
Lingchan was unwilling. It was too tiring to hold an engagement party. It was unnecessary. She could just get married when the time came.
Because of her refusal, Huo Jiuke persuaded the parents of the two families for her.
In such social situations, Huo Jiuke would use his clear-cut attitude to stand up for the Jiang family and Lingchan more tactfully.
For his sake as the heir, no one would embarrass Lingchan, and no one would embarrass the Jiang family.
This time is no exception.
The guests at the same table who were originally lukewarm became much more enthusiastic towards the Jiang family.
A few pleasantries were exchanged.
The current head of the Huo family, Mr. Huo, stepped onto the luxurious stage that had been set up overnight.
"Welcome to the Huo family's banquet. The sudden banquet is because there is important news that I have to announce to all my friends."
"Our Huo family, the real eldest grandson and future heir, has been recuperating abroad. Now that Quan Zi is in good health, it's time to introduce him to everyone!"
Under the stage, buzzing discussions immediately started.
The faces of the Jiang family's parents stiffened little by little as the people around them looked at them openly and covertly.
The real eldest grandson, the real heir? ! Training abroad? !
Isn't it Huo Jiuke?
Mr. Huo on the stage stretched out his hand back with a hearty smile, "Yingzhou, come!"
The light suddenly dimmed.
Only a beam of light shone directly on the young man in the audience.
The young man stepped onto the stage step by step, and the light moved with his movements.
The young man wearing a dark red suit and dress has a good appearance, three-dimensional facial features, and aloof and distant indifference.
She kept her face tight at all times, refusing to let any trace of joy flow from her face.
As expected, he was an acquaintance of Lingchan.
Qiyingzhou.
It's funny to say that the last time Lingchan saw him was at the Hera Hotel.
He was wearing waiter's clothes, also a black and white suit, and he was in a mess.
And now, the burgundy suit he is wearing cannot be replaced by a thousand waiter suits.
Money suddenly gave him color, from a dull passerby to the only person illuminated by the light.
Mr. Huo smiled and led him to the microphone, "Yingzhou, please say a few words."
Qi Yingzhou lowered his eyes. There was an inscription device under his feet, with bright red characters scrolling, for fear that he could not see clearly.
The Huo family taught him all the speech skills, prepared countless speeches for him, and selected the best version.
But he didn't like them. He didn't want to say a word of those false words.
Qi Yingzhou raised his eyes. Under the thick black eyelashes, his pupils were so dark that no light could shine through.
He stared at Lingchan and smiled. "Good evening everyone, I am Qi Yingzhou."
Qiyingzhou.
Not Huo Yingzhou.
He simply tore off the window paper.
The boy who grew up in the slums naturally had a sense of violence and rebelliousness in his body, and he wanted to break through all the disciplines that he didn't like.
He didn't fit in here, and he didn't want to make any attempt to hide it.
