This superpower is unreliable.

Wen Guzhi's expression had returned to normal as he and Huang Chiyao were on their way to the banquet venue.

When they were about to arrive, Su Jin, who had not been seen in the manor, appeared.

"Brother, you go on stage first, and Chiyao and I will go over slowly."

Wen Guzhi nodded. He glanced at Huang Chiyao and walked away in the direction of the stage with big strides.

Su Jin raised his forearm, palm up, and waved to Huang Chi, "Then, beautiful lady, let's go together."

Huang Chiyao was amused by Su Jin's serious action, so he gently placed his hand on his palm.

"Yes, handsome sir."

She naturally understood the intentions of these two people.

If she appeared with Wen Guzhi, everyone's attention would definitely be drawn to her.

Although she didn't know whether these upper-class people were really like what was said in the novels, pretending to be sneaky in public but actually discussing other people's gossip openly, but there is no smoke without fire, and she naturally didn't want to become the target of this gossip.

However, even though Su Jin had already taken the Huang Chi Yao from Wen Guzhi, a small number of people still noticed their actions. When she and Su Jin walked over slowly, they glanced at her casually but did not whisper to each other.

Huang Chiyao no longer cared about these people's reactions. She looked around quietly, but found that she did not find Xu Keke.

Strange, where did Xu Ke go?

At this time, the band on the stage stopped playing and withdrew in an orderly manner, moving to the back of the stage. The lights on the scene gradually dimmed, leaving only the main light facing the stage.

Although the light was not shining directly on Wen Guzhi at this moment, Huang Chiyao still found his figure at a glance.

She thought that Wen Guzhi was probably about to prepare to go on stage to speak.

Maybe he noticed Huang Chiyao's gaze, but Wen Guzhi turned his gaze and found that she was looking at him, and the corners of his lips rose slightly.

Even though the two were some distance apart and had no conversation, Huang Chiyao seemed to have heard what he was saying to her just by looking into Wen Guzhi's eyes.

"I see you."

Yellow Wing shook back a small smile.

She silently said in her heart:

"I'm right here."

"Good evening, everybody."

Before Huang Chiyao could come to his senses, a person had already walked to the center of the stage and started speaking.

The scene burst into applause.

She looked at the person under the spotlight on the stage, feeling extremely confused.

What Huang Chiyao didn't expect was that the first person to speak was not Wen Guzhi, but Su Yunqing.

It is understandable that parents speak first at a child’s birthday party, but if it is a birthday party after adulthood, the person whose birthday it is should speak first.

What's more, Wen Guzhi is already 25 years old.

But Huang Chiyao remembered what Xu Keke had just said.

At birthday parties in high society, the emphasis is never on the “banquet” but on the “meeting”.

Most of the people present must be business partners with Wensu Group, or they are from aristocratic families with whom they have a relationship. As the chairman of Wensu Group, it is only natural for Su Yunqing to speak first.

only……

Huang Chiyao searched for Wen Guzhi's figure, but saw him standing in a corner beside the stage. There was no other obvious light shining on him, and he couldn't see his expression at the moment. He didn't know whether he was waiting for Su Yunqing to finish his speech before introducing him, or whether the sudden change disrupted his original rhythm and caught him off guard.

After the applause began to die down, Su Yunqing continued her speech.

"First of all, thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedule to attend my old friend's birthday party. Everyone here is an old friend, so I won't say any more polite words. I just want to take advantage of today's party for my son Wen Guzhi's 25th birthday to announce something very important."

After Su Yunqing said that he had something important to announce, the people in the audience, who had originally quieted down, all looked at each other at the same time.

Some people even started whispering.

Su Yunqing ignored the audience's reactions. She paused and spoke clearly word by word.

"I once had an agreement with Guzhi's father Wen Ruxin."

As she spoke, she held up a file in her hand, took out a piece of paper from it, and showed it to the people in the audience.

"The content of the agreement is very simple, with only two lines. 'If I do not show up on Wen Guzhi's 25th birthday, I am willing to transfer all the relevant shares of Wensu Group that I hold to Wen Guzhi.' Signed by Wen Ruxin."

Everyone in the audience was in an uproar.

Su Yunqing put the agreement in his hand back into the file bag.

"The reason why I chose to make this agreement public here tonight is that I want everyone here to help serve as a witness."

"It proves that Wen Ruxin did not appear before 12 o'clock today."

Everyone, including Huang Chiyao, took out their cell phones at the same time, or raised their hands with watches and checked the time.

It's a quarter to nine, and there's still quite a while left.

Huang Chi's eyelids couldn't help but twitch.

She smelled something very bad.

The protagonist tonight should have been Wen Guzhi, but after Su Yunqing's speech, Wen Guzhi was still the protagonist, but Wen Guzhi was not the only one who was the protagonist.

But one thing is certain: from that moment on, no one has focused on the "birthday" anymore.

She looked at Wen Guzhi with some concern. He was still standing in a corner of the stage, motionless, like a sculpture. No one knew what he was thinking.

"Su Jin."

Huang Chi turned his head and saw Su Jin also looking at his cousin with a frown and a worried look.

"Wen Guzhi's family relationship... is it bad?"

Su Jin shook his head in a trance, then nodded.

"I don't know how to put it. It's very complicated. But I wish it was my brother who told you in person."

"Yes." Huang Chiyao did not force Su Jin. It would be better if the person concerned decided whether to tell these family secrets.

Su Yunqing didn't know whether she had intentionally left some space for the people present to react. She waited until everyone had finished whispering, then directed another spotlight to shine on Wen Guzhi and said the last sentence.

"The next period of time will be given to my beloved son to review the past knowledge."

Wen Guzhi nodded at Su Yunqing with a half-smile, then walked out from a corner of the stage at a leisurely pace. The spotlight moved slowly following his steps, and the audience's attention was focused on Wen Guzhi again, but there was total silence.

"Clap clap clap!"

Su Jin, who was standing next to Huang Chiyao, immediately raised his hands and clapped them vigorously, which made everyone come to their senses and start applauding.

Wen Guzhi stretched out two fingers and waved them towards the lower right, signaling the waiter holding the wine to come up to the stage.

He leisurely picked up one of the glasses of wine and took a big sip himself. He didn't know if it was because the aroma of the wine was too strong, or because the color of the wine complemented his appearance, but Huang Chiyao felt that Wen Guzhi seemed more charming after taking a sip of the wine.

Wen Guzhi raised his glass to the air, toasted everyone in the audience, and said quietly.

"Tonight, I won't go home until I'm drunk."
