The banquet held by the Jing family was very grand.

The identity of the old man of the Jing family is there. He is the head of the Jing family, the father of the mystic, and the grandfather of the person in power in the He family. Just these two identities are enough to make people scramble to curry favor with him.

Sui Yi looked at the crowd that was surrounding him, but didn't move forward.

However, Sui Yi did see an acquaintance, Chong Hanwen's mother He Bichun.

However, Sui Yi did not go over to say hello. In her mind, she and He Bichun were just acquaintances and they could not be considered to be close friends.

"Miss Suiyi..." Hearing someone calling, Suiyi turned around and saw a handsome man and a beautiful woman standing in front of her with their arms linked.

"The Li family also has dealings with the Jing family?" Seeing Li Mingzhe, Sui Yi raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"If the Li family wants to enter the capital, these human interactions are unavoidable." Li Mingzhe said with respect.

He nodded to show that he understood.

"Mingzhe, this lady is..." The beautiful woman next to Li Mingzhe looked at Suiyi with a gentle and decent smile on her face, but there was a hint of temptation in her eyes.

"This is Miss Xin Suiyi, our Li family's benefactor." Li Mingzhe didn't say much, and then he introduced Suiyi: "Miss Suiyi, this is my fiancée Miao Lin."

"Hello, Miss Xin..." Miao Lin walked forward with a smile and stretched out her right hand. Sui Yi was about to respond, but as soon as his fingers touched Miao Lin's hand, Miao Lin retracted her hand.

Year old... It's the first time we met and there's no conflict. It's not good to be so unfriendly.

She glanced at Li Mingzhe, and Li Mingzhe's brows, which had just been relaxed, became frowned.

"Miao Lin, Miss Suiyi is a distinguished guest of our Li family. I hope you can respect her."

Miao Lin obviously did not expect Li Mingzhe to accuse her in public. In her eyes, Li Mingzhe has always been a gentle, polite and considerate person.

Such people will try to be tactful in their dealings and generally will not embarrass others in public, unless the person who makes an exception for them is very important to them.

Miao Lin's expression changed unpredictably, and soon she put on an apologetic expression and said to Sui Yi: "I'm sorry, Miss Xin, I was rude just now, I hope you don't mind."

"It doesn't matter. I never care about insignificant people."

Suiyi was sincere in what she said. She could see Miao Lin's temptation, but Miao Lin was a stranger to her. She didn't care much about the stranger's joys, sorrows, anger, and opinions of her.

Miao Lin's smile froze for a moment, then she put on a fake smile again: "I'm glad Miss Xin doesn't blame me."

"Miss Suiyi, do you know the purpose of today's banquet?" Li Mingzhe asked abruptly.

"What's the purpose?" Sui Yi said nonchalantly, "Isn't it just to celebrate an old man's birthday?"

Li Mingzhe shook his head, his expression a little serious: "There is a rumor that the marriage between the He family and the Gu family will be announced today during the banquet of Old Master Jing."

Suiyi paused for a moment, looking puzzled: "Who is with whom?"

"He Xun, the head of the He family, and Gu Yan, the eldest daughter of the Gu family."

The Li family knew that Sui Yi followed He Xun and left Longcheng, so they paid special attention to He Xun's affairs.

He noticed it as soon as Sui Yi and He Xun Yi entered the door.

When Sui Yi was left alone, he came to remind him.

Suiyi stroked his chin and thought about the excitement that would follow.

Given He Xun's temper, I'm afraid the scene will be quite interesting later on.

Li Mingqi thought that Sui Yi's expression would change a little when he heard the news.

Who knew that her expression had changed, but she was not as worried and anxious as he thought, but instead looked eager to watch the fun.

It was just hard for him to understand.

"Good evening, everyone..." On the stage in front of the big screen, a middle-aged man in a high-end custom-made suit held the microphone and faced the guests with a smile on his face.

After a long and official opening speech, the birthday boy was invited to the stage.

Here comes the point. Old Master Jing straightened his hunched back as much as possible, and his wrinkled face was now full of smiles.

There were several people standing on both sides of him. Except for He Xun and his mother, whom he knew, Sui Yi didn't recognize any of the others.

"First of all, thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedule to attend my birthday party..." Old Master Jing squinted his eyes and seemed to be smiling, but the brilliance in his eyes still leaked out.

"Today is my birthday, and I also have a happy announcement to make."

"My grandson, He Xun, the current head of the He family, will marry Gu Yan, the eldest daughter of the Gu family."

Amid the discussions and congratulations from below, He Xun and Gu Yan stood in the center of the stage.

Not to mention, one is noble and handsome, the other is dignified and generous, the two of them look quite a good match.

As Sui Yi was thinking this, he heard Miao Lin's envious voice.

"Ayan and Mr. He are a perfect match, perfect for each other."

Miao Lin had never seen He Xun before, so when He Xun and Sui Yi came in together, she didn't pay any attention to them at all.

"Do you know Miss Gu?" Sui Yi asked casually.

"Ayan and I are good friends." When Miao Lin said this, there was a hint of superiority in her expression.

Li Mingzhe frowned and said to Miao Lin: "People who look like a good match may not be suitable for each other."

Miao Lin looked at him in surprise, not understanding why he was so opposed.

Soon, Miao Lin no longer had the energy to guess Li Mingzhe's intentions because He Xun spoke.

"Everyone..." He Xun still had that nonchalant smile on his face. He said slowly into the microphone: "Grandpa just played a joke on everyone. Please don't mind it."

After he finished speaking, there was silence for a few seconds, and then even louder discussions broke out.

The noisy voices could not cover up He Xun's clear words: "In addition, He wants to announce a piece of good news to everyone."

"He is married and currently has a stable relationship with his wife. He has no plans to divorce or remarry."

Wow, this news is even more explosive.

Li Mingzhe's eyes unconsciously fell on Sui Yi.

"Why are you looking at me?" Sui Yi said unhappily, "On the stands."

Li Mingzhe shifted his gaze. At this moment, the stage was in chaos.

Old Man Jing staggered and seemed to be very angry.

If someone hadn't held him back, Sui Yi estimated that he would have fallen on the stage.

Gu Yan, who was next to He Xun, was also extremely embarrassed. Her parents stood on both sides of her, staring at He Xun, with an obvious intention of defending him and seeking justice.

"He Xun!" He Xun's mother Jing Wenhong could no longer maintain her image as a noble lady. She looked at He Xun with a sullen and accusing face.

"Today is your grandfather's birthday party. Why can't we talk about it in private? Do you have to make the situation so awkward and let everyone laugh at our Jinghe and He families?"

"Mother..." He Xun's voice remained unchanged: "It seems that I rejected your proposal in advance. What you did today is to act first and ask for my consent later, so that I have to compromise?"
