Shangguan Yiqian suppressed her anger, turned her gaze to Shangguan Youyou, and smiled:

"Cousin, do you two know each other? You seem to be having such a good time chatting, what are you talking about? Tell me about it."

Shangguan Youyou glanced at her and said calmly, "Nothing, just a small talk."

Shangguan Yiqian pretended to be surprised and said, "Oh, really? Then you two really hit it off right away! But, cousin, I'm still very curious about what you two were talking about. Can you tell me about it?"

Shangguan Youyou frowned impatiently, "It's really just a casual chat, nothing special."

Shangguan Yiqian felt a little dissatisfied when she saw that Shangguan Youyou was unwilling to say more.

But he didn't ask any further questions.

She snorted inwardly.

Humph! If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. What's the big deal?

Then, she turned her gaze to Ji Xuyan who was standing beside her.

She put on a sweet smile on her face and asked in a soft voice: "Can I call you Brother Xu Yan? It feels more intimate this way~"

Ji Xuyan seemed not to have heard her words at all. He turned his back to her and continued talking with Shangguan Youyou.

Shangguan Yiqian couldn't help but feel angry when she saw this.

She couldn't get angry on the spot, so she could only turn around and leave indignantly.

Watching Shangguan Yiqian walking away, Shangguan Youyou couldn't help but chuckle.

She turned around, looked at Ji Xuyan mischievously, and said jokingly: "Brother Xuyan, you are so charming. The little girl is completely fascinated by you."

The corners of Ji Xuyan's mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile.

"Really? But I'm only interested in one person."

After saying this, his eyes became even gentler, and he stared deeply at Shangguan Youyou.

Shangguan Youyou's face flushed immediately, and she said shyly, "You're annoying! Stop it!"

She quickly lowered her head and stopped looking at Ji Xuyan.

The two of them stood in the banquet hall, like a pair of golden boy and jade girl, attracting everyone's attention.

Shangguan Yiqian returned to her seat, her chest heaving violently with anger.

There was a flash of anger in her eyes and her face was distorted in a frightening way.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and she felt greatly insulted.

How despicable that Ji Xuyan dared to treat her like this!

She secretly made up her mind to make Ji Xuyan fall in love with her no matter what.

She is the daughter of the Shangguan family. From childhood to adulthood, she has never failed to get what she wanted.

Ji Xuyan is just a small star.

She has plenty of money and means, so why is she afraid that she can't get him?

Shangguan Yiqian held the phone tightly, her hands trembling slightly.

She took a deep breath, picked up her phone, and quickly dialed a number.

"Help me check Ji Xuyan's recent schedule."

There was unquestionable authority in her tone.

The other party seemed a little surprised by this request, but still replied respectfully: "Okay, Miss, I will get back to you as soon as possible."

After hanging up the phone, Shangguan Yiqian's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a sly smile.

Once she knew Ji Xuyan's itinerary, she would be able to better plan her next move.

Ji Xuyan, wait!

I will definitely make you fall at my feet!

Not long after, Shangguan Yiqian's cell phone rang.

She couldn't wait to pick up the phone, "How is it? Did you find out?"

The other party's voice was full of flattery: "Miss, I have checked. Ji Xuyan has not made any announcements in the past half month. At present, it is only confirmed that his announcement location in half a month will be in the imperial capital."

Shangguan Yiqian was secretly delighted when she heard this.

This is simply a God-given opportunity!

She decided to go to the imperial capital in person when the time comes.

She believed that with her charm and wisdom, she would be able to conquer Ji Xuyan's heart.

At this moment, the lights in the entire banquet hall suddenly dimmed.

Then, a melodious music slowly sounded.

The host walked onto the stage with a smile on his face and announced the official start of the performance segment of the family reunion banquet.

A moment later, Chu Yu also arrived at the banquet.

She was dressed in a gorgeous dress, looking noble and elegant.

Her appearance attracted a lot of attention, but she ignored it and walked straight towards Shangguan Youyou.

Shangguan Youyou saw Chu Yu walking towards her and immediately went forward to greet him.

Chu Yu smiled slightly and handed a beautiful gift to her, "Congratulations! Yoyo."

Shangguan Youyou took the gift with some surprise and smiled gratefully, "Thank you Aunt Chu!"

Chu Yu looked at Shangguan Youyou, a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes, "Can I talk to you for a moment?"

Shangguan Youyou was slightly stunned, and after hesitating for a moment, she nodded.

The two of them walked to a corner of the banquet, away from the noisy crowd, and began their conversation.

Not far away, Shangguan Shao noticed Shangguan Youyou and Chu Yu together, and a sneer appeared on his face.

He knew very well that Chu Yu had always loved Shangguan Hong.

This is no secret anymore.

He secretly wondered in his heart what would happen if Shangguan Youyou didn't agree with them being together.

Given Chu Yu's personality, he would most likely take action to deal with Shangguan Youyou.

And he can just sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor and reap the benefits!

Thinking of this, Shangguan Shao couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

*

On the other side, Chu Yu looked lost, with deep helplessness in his eyes.

She looked at Shangguan Youyou quietly and said with emotion: "Youyou, I never thought that you are Ah Hong's biological daughter."

At this moment, her heart was filled with regret and bitterness.

Because it means that the possibility between her and Hiro becomes even slimmer.

Shangguan Youyou smiled slightly, her face very calm.

"Aunt Chu, you don't have to worry. Whether I am my father's biological daughter or not, I will not hinder him from pursuing his own happiness."

Chu Yu frowned slightly and said painfully, "I understand, but from what I know about Hong, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult for him to let go of his feelings for your mother."

Shangguan Youyou sighed softly, "Maybe!"

She knew that her father was still brooding over the past.

Now that the truth is out, he naturally can't let it go easily.

Chu Yu sighed deeply, smiled bitterly and said, "In fact, I have tried to give up Ahong, but I found that I couldn't do it at all. I obviously have more choices and can own the entire forest, so why do I have to stick to him alone?"

Her voice revealed endless distress and helplessness.

Shangguan Youyou looked at Chu Yu's sad expression, patted her hands gently, and comforted her: "Aunt Chu, I understand how you feel now. If we can control our emotions as we please, then everything will become much simpler. But you also know that a forced melon will not be sweet. Maybe you should try to let go and find your own true happiness."

Chu Yu nodded slightly, tears welling up in his eyes.

"I... will try to let it go..."

If possible, she really wished she had never met Shangguan Hong.

At this time, the host walked onto the stage again and interrupted their conversation.

The host said with a smile and enthusiasm: "Next, it is the most anticipated part of today - the gift-giving part! Let's see what precious gifts all the relatives and friends have brought?"

As the host finished speaking, there was warm applause from the audience.

Shangguan Youyou also came back to her senses and looked towards the stage.

Under the gaze of everyone, exquisite gifts were presented to Shangguan Youyou.

Some of these gifts come from family elders, while others are blessings from friends.

Shangguan Youyou accepted the gifts one by one and expressed her gratitude to the givers.

Finally, when all the gifts were displayed, Shangguan Youyou stood up and bowed to the audience to express her gratitude.

The family reunion banquet ended perfectly in a warm and joyful atmosphere.
