After forming a covenant with the interstellar bosses
Chapter 69 Birthday Banquet (1)
Song Yu thought that Jiang Honglian was holding a grand banquet for her 60th birthday and all the important figures in the capital's star circle were invited, so he sent her an invitation as well. However, when he arrived, he found that this was not the case.
In the Interstellar Empire, 60 years old is not an age to sit back and enjoy the fruits of one's labor. They still have another 20 years of hard work to do, so this was actually just a family dinner. In addition to some nephews and nieces of the Jiang family, Jiang Honglian only invited the sisters of her match, the comforters of her sons, and other relatives who were more or less related.
The only female exception is Song Yu, which is somewhat intriguing.
There are indeed very few S-level appeasers in this world, but given the status of the Jiang family, they can still invite a few if they are willing. So why was it Song Yu?
Want to help Jiang Yan? Even though most of the guests felt this way when they saw Song Yu, Song Yu knew that Jiang Yan had not even received any notice and was not allowed to enter the Jiang family's manor.
When they looked at each other, they both saw doubt in each other's eyes.
As for the invitation letters from Tang Zhishu and the Ouyang brothers, they were issued in the name of Jiang Gaoxin, Jiang Honglian's first match. In addition to them, several matches with considerable status also received invitation letters.
As soon as they entered the Jiang family's manor, the guards and servants were taken away from the corner gate, and they were not allowed to enter the inner house. A few steps further along the path, Tang Zhishu and the Ouyang brothers were also invited to the side hall by a male servant.
Only appeasers can enter the main courtyard, which houses the largest banquet hall in the manor. Before entering, a young woman from the Jiang family came to greet them.
"Miss Song, I'm sorry for the inconvenience." The woman was very polite, with a faint smile on her face. "I am the niece of the head of the Jiang family, Jiang Chengyu, and also Jiang Yan's cousin."
"Hello." Song Yu shook hands with her. She couldn't guess Jiang Honglian's intention. She was always on guard. Now the group was taken to three places separately. If anything happened, it would be really tricky.
"Miss Song, I know Jiang Yan has caused you considerable harm. I dare not plead for him, but this is the Jiang family's way of expressing our apology to you." Jiang Chengyu said, "We have prepared a small gift and have given it to your servant. It can't make up for anything, but please accept it."
Song Yu had a surprisingly good impression of Jiang Chengyu. She looked to be in her thirties, very mature and capable, but she did not give people a strong sense of oppression.
"There were indeed some misunderstandings between Jiang Yan and me at that time, but he didn't cause me any harm," said Song Yu.
The two of them stepped into the main hall of the Jiang family together, and this place was completely different from what was shown in the TV series and what Song Yu had imagined.
At the entrance, a group of young men were waiting on the side. They were wearing the same black shirts, with only the numbers on their chests being different. They were all around 24 or 25 years old, roughly equivalent to 18 or 19 years old on Earth. Each of them was clean and handsome, and would smile and call everyone "sister" when they saw them.
Although the room was large, it was very dark as it blocked out the sunlight. Sitting opposite the door was the head of the Jiang family, Duke Linyuan, Jiang Honglian.
The other seats were all spacious enough for three people to sit on. Over a dozen guests had already arrived, and each of them was accompanied by at least two young men. Some even had four or five, serving water, feeding fruit, massaging shoulders and legs, and even being touched.
Song Yu shuddered. How could this Jiang family banquet be such a lewd place? No wonder the matchmakers were not allowed in.
"Miss Song, can you pick a few that you like?"
"Hmm..." Song Yu didn't want to be like them.
Jiang Chengyu was also a little embarrassed. It was obvious that she did not like this atmosphere. "Our clan leader does not like too serious banquets, so we have invited some outstanding men to accompany us. You can choose a few of them. They don't have to do anything. They are just waiters today."
Song Yu looked around and indeed saw that some guests were not too close to these men. They were just waiting for them to serve tea and water.
Not wanting to be too special, she just pointed at two at random.
Two men followed behind, and Jiang Chengyu led Song Yu to see Jiang Honglian.
"Hello, Chief Jiang." Song Yu greeted with a smile and presented the gift he brought, a jewel necklace.
"Is this Miss Song Yu?" Jiang Honglian exaggerated, leaning forward with her fat body. "I heard you were promoted to S-rank a while ago and even entered the Imperial Military Academy?"
Song Yu nodded, "Yes, Chief Jiang."
"Young and promising, really young and promising." Jiang Honglian gave a thumbs up and praised, then accused the people around her, "You bunch of idiots, why don't you ask Miss Song to sit down."
Jiang Chengyu led Song Yu to a seat. She originally wanted to find a seat by the side, eat something and wait for the banquet to end. Her entire task today was to bring Jiang Yan here, and now it has been completed. She just needs to follow the banquet process until the end.
Who would have thought that Jiang Honglian actually reserved the first seat on the right for her!
As for the seating arrangement, the two seats on the left and right of the main seat are the most honorable, and they cannot be changed at any time. The other gilded seat is obviously reserved for Princess Luo Er, and she is only one level lower than Princess Luo Er. Many people who look older are actually behind Song Yu.
This is not a problem, because Song Yu is the only outsider who has no blood or marriage relationship with them tonight.
But she felt even more uneasy because she had already doubted Jiang Honglian's purpose in inviting her.
After Song Yu sat down, Jiang Chengyu left. She was only responsible for the reception outside. The main hall was managed by Jiang Honglian's biological daughter Jiang Chengxin, but she was no longer visible at this time.
Two male waiters knelt in front of Song Yu, one on the left and one on the right. One poured a glass of wine, and the other gently took her hand and placed it on his face.
"Miss Song, can you give me a leg massage?"
Song Yu suddenly remembered that before entering the Jiang family manor, Tang Zhishu had said something inexplicable to her.
"Master, if you feel that there aren't enough people at home, it wouldn't be difficult to bring back ten or eight more. But as for those outside, I don't know if they have any problems. If you can avoid them, it's better not to touch them."
What he said was vague, and Song Yu was busy at the time, so he didn't understand and just let it go. Now he realized that he had known about the Jiang family's style for a long time.
"No need, just sit here." Song Yu took back his hand while holding the juice and whispered, "Don't be so reserved."
With just this one movement, a small metal ring on her hand was taken off. The male waiter smiled at her so sweetly that Song Yu didn't even feel comfortable asking for it back.
Although it's just decoration, it's worth hundreds of star coins.
Then she realized that these male waiters were not serving her in vain.
Sure enough, after one was given the money, the other one became interested and went straight to Song Yu. Well, Tang Zhishu also gave her a small box of gold beans in advance. Each one was small and worth hundreds of star coins.
This guy knows everything but says nothing.
