heart as if it were bleeding. Even on the battlefield, when a bullet pierced through his chest, it wasn't as painful as it was now.Seeing Yang Chen's dejected look, Qin Xi's heart ached too. She walke...Chapter 22
The Qin Family Courtyard.
A black Rolls-Royce slowly pulled up to the door.
May I ask, who are you looking for
Zhou Yucun opened the door and saw a young man in a suit and tie. He was much more polite when he spoke.
The young man smiled slightly: "Good evening, Madam. Mr. Su sent me to pick up Miss Qin for the banquet at Starlight Garden Hotel."
"Starlight Garden Hotel Mr. Su The wealthiest person from the Su family" Zhou Y cuai was taken aback at first, but after seeing the other party nod, she was overjoyed instantly.
These days, the news that Xingguang Garden Hotel is hosting a banquet has spread throughout Jiangzhou. All those invited are prominent figures in Jiangzhou. Unexpectedly, the Su family personally came to pick up their daughter.
Zhou Y cui enthusiastically invited the young people into the house, handing them over to Qin Dayong's care, and then she hurried to her daughter's room.
"The Su family sent someone to pick us up. We're going to the Starlight Garden Hotel for a banquet. It must be an engagement party for you and the young master of the Su family," Zhou Yucun said excitedly.
Qin Yi, who was watching a drama in her bed, was also shocked when she heard this: "So soon"
"Someone's waiting downstairs, why are you dawdling" Zhou Y cuai urged.
"Ah..."
Qin Yi screamed excitedly, scrambled out of the bed, and hurriedly started getting dressed.
"Mommy, when are Daddy coming home I miss him."
In another room, XiaoXiao played with the pendant around her neck and suddenly asked pitifully.
Since three days ago, when Yang Chen sent her home, he hasn't come back. These past few days, her heart has been in turmoil. It wasn't until Xiaoxiao asked about her father that she suddenly realized the reason for her unease - it was because of that man.
She was terrified, just like five years ago. He left without a word and didn't return for five years.
"Daddy is busy, he'll be home after he finishes his work." Qin Xi tightly hugged Xiaoxiao.
Her mind suddenly flashed an image, a figure in the rain holding the man who left her from Qin's family. Perhaps she would never forget the warmth in his embrace.
"Xiao Xi, the Su family has sent someone to pick us up. We're going to attend Yiyi and the eldest son of the Su family's engagement banquet. Hurry up and get ready. As members of the family, we can't miss it."
The mother and daughter were missing Yang Chen, when Zhou Yucui suddenly burst in.
One hour later, the three of them, mother and daughter, plus a little princess.
Seeing these few exquisitely dressed figures, the young driver sent to pick them up was dumbfounded. But it was only for a moment before he quickly averted his gaze. These were VIP guests that even Mr. Su valued highly; he dared not look at them casually.
Today, the Starlight Garden Hotel is bustling with activity. The entire Jiangzhou elite have been invited to attend.
The parking lot is already full of tens of millions of luxury cars of all kinds.
Mr. Qin got out of an Audi worth over one million yuan. On one side of the Audi was a Rolls-Royce, and on the other side was a Bentley.
Let's go!
Old Qin urged, fearing that others might see his carriage.
"Grandpa, Su Chengwu's car is here!"
As soon as the Qin family stepped out of the parking lot, they saw a Rolls-Royce with license plate Jiang A88888 parked at the hotel entrance.
Old Mr. Qin hurriedly said, "Xiao Fei, come with me and greet Mr. Su."
Coming to the front of the car, the two stood like lapdogs, their bodies slightly bent, waiting for Su Chengwu to get out.
The next second, the smiles on Mr. Qin and Qin Fei's faces froze instantly.
Qin Xi and her family got out of the car and saw them. Since she had been driven out of the family, Zhou Yucun was already very angry, but when she saw the posture of the grandson and granddaughter, she felt very happy in her heart.
"Mr. Qin, thank you for issuing the decree to expel us from the Qin family. Otherwise, we would have even more useless relatives in the future. You know, after marrying into a wealthy family, the most feared thing is being harassed by impoverished relatives," Zhou Yucun said intentionally, her words dripping with sarcasm.
"What does it mean" Old Master Qin asked with a cold face.
"So you still don't know"
Zhou Yucui said with a smug look: "Half a month ago, the Su family came to our door in person and presented a very expensive dowry. Oh, there was also a villa named 'Moon, Star, and Sun', which we are preparing to move into recently! As for that Qin family's old house, it's dilapidated and outdated; how could it be worthy of my daughter being the wife of a wealthy man"
"You, uh..."
"Grandpa!"
Zhou Yucui's words were venomous. Hearing this, Old Master Qin almost fainted from anger. The Qin family members quickly rushed over to his side.
Zhou Y cui had a good vent of her anger, and suddenly felt relaxed all over.
The family, led by the hotel's welcome staff, ended up sitting in the front row.
This scene surprised countless Jiangzhou wealthy families, who all sought to learn about this family's identity.
At an event of this caliber, those seated in the front row are either incredibly wealthy or highly influential.
"May I ask where we are"
Seeing no one to greet them, Qin Fei pulled over a receptionist and asked.
That beautiful woman took the invitation, glanced at it, and then said coldly: “The invitation says the table number. Can’t you read”
Starlight Hotel is the Su family's property, even when welcoming guests, the Qin family dare not offend them, they can only be angry but dare not speak.
The Qin family easily found their spot because it was right by the entrance hall, clearly different from the other dining tables. It was much smaller, and the chairs were the most basic wooden ones.
But the Qin family didn't feel a thing, instead taking pride in being able to enter the hotel. Many people looked at the Qin family members as if they were fools.
At eight o'clock sharp, the dinner party officially began.
As a melodious tune filled the air, the host stepped onto the stage.
After a brief welcome speech, the host smiled and said, “Today we invited everyone here to announce three major events.”
Because the invitations were sent anonymously, to this day, no one knows who the organizer is.
Upon hearing the host's words, everyone perked up their ears.
"First of all, the Jiangzhou branch of Yanci Group officially starts operation today. We have reached a long-term cooperation agreement with Sanhe Group, and we hope everyone will give us more support in the future!"
The moment this news broke, the entire audience erupted.
For the Sanhe Group, no one present was unaware because Jiangzhou's No. 1 beauty had once been the chairman of this company.
But now this company is controlled by the Qin family. The small Qin family, does it have the qualification to cooperate with the Yanchen Group
If it is said that the Yanchen Group and the Qin family are close, how come the Qin family was placed last
Just as everyone was wondering, the faces of the Qin family instantly turned very ugly.
It wasn't until this moment that they realized the reason they were invited here was not because any power valued the Qin family's potential, but to humiliate them.
"Grandpa, they're being too much!" Qin Fei said angrily, his eyes red.
"
Be quiet!
"
Mr. Qin's face was as dark as thunder. "Even if it is an insult to the Qin family, since you are here, you must bear the consequences. If you dare to cause a scene in public, there will be no Qin family in Jiangzhou after tonight."
Our Su family also hopes to cooperate with Sanyihe Group.
Just as everyone was still stunned, Su Chengwu's voice suddenly rang out.
"My Wang family hopes to cooperate with Sanhe Group!"
"My Zhang family is willing to cooperate with Sanhe Group!"
"My Li family is also willing to cooperate with the Sanhe Group!"
......
As soon as Su Chengwu's words fell, several figures rose one after another. Each person was the master of a major aristocratic family.
Members of the Qin family all wore expressions of disbelief. Just three days ago, they had offered Sanhe Group as compensation. Now, numerous prominent families were vying to collaborate with them. After tonight, their market value was likely to increase severalfold.
"Ladies and gentlemen, regarding the collaboration matter, you can discuss it with Sanhe Group after the banquet. Now, let's move on to the second item on the agenda." The sudden appearance of the beautiful host's voice brought this wave of cooperation frenzy to a halt.
Today is the wedding anniversary of a couple. They were forced to get married due to certain reasons back then, but the husband thought he was unworthy of his wife and left without saying goodbye. He has been gone for five years now.
Three days ago, at the Night City Club auction, a mysterious man used domineering means to continuously bid high prices for most of the treasured jewelry, including a pink star diamond ring worth five hundred million. And he is that husband!
"Wow!"
Just at that moment, the curtain behind the host suddenly parted automatically to both sides. Under everyone's gaze, more than ten glass display cases appeared.
Each glass display case housed a piece of exquisite jewelry.
"Those were the pieces of jewelry that were stolen three days ago!" someone exclaimed.
"Starlight Tear Necklace, Pink Star Diamond Ring..."
All the jewelry that was taken at the nightclub that night, is now on display. Every piece is priceless.
There are billionaires in Jiangzhou, but none of them are willing to spend billions on these things.
Countless prominent figures and noblewomen from Jiangzhou were all envious, gazing at those exquisite pieces of jewelry. Let alone owning so many, even possessing just one would be enough for them to brag about for a lifetime.
Sitting at the front, Qin Xi also had a few envious expressions in her eyes, mumbling softly: "This wife is so happy!"
"Isn't today also your and his wedding anniversary"
Qin Yi suddenly asked, then smiled: "Sister, the husband mentioned by the host, could it be Yang Chen All of these things are prepared for you"
Qin Xi's face was filled with bitterness, she shook her head and remained silent.
"You little brat, what nonsense are you talking about If Yang Chen could afford these jewels, I'd rip my head off and use it as a stool for him." Zhou Yucun glared at Qin Yi angrily.
"Mom, this is what you said! Don't go back on your word later," Qin Yi said.
"You're still going strong!" Zhou Yucui laughed and scolded.
At this time, the host's impassioned voice once again rose.
Five years ago, because of poverty, this husband had never given his wife a gift. To make up for the regret from those days, all these things will be given to his wife. Now, let's all witness this happy moment together!
Wow! Wow! Wow!
Several beams of light suddenly fell at the same time.
Where the lights converged was the front, a woman so beautiful it was beyond description.into his arms herself. Thinking about this, she felt both ashamed and angry, a blush creeping onto her cheeks."Xiao Xi, did you have a nightmare" Yang Chen pretended to be worried.Qin Xi glared fierc...
