Chapter 96 Banquet Troubles
The Xie family recently had a very happy event.
Wen Yutong is about to turn 20.
That means Wen Yutong can rightfully and officially return to the Xie family and become the true heiress of the Xie family.
In Wei Xinqiong's words, their hardships had finally come to an end, and the three of them could finally live together in peace.
The birthday banquet was extremely grand, almost on the same scale as Gu Jinhua's birthday celebration, and countless guests were invited, all of whom were business tycoons.
In the dressing room, Wen Yutong wore a red strapless dress, her long hair piled up, revealing her snow-white neck, and a particularly dazzling pigeon blood gemstone on her chest.
Wen Yutong stood in front of the mirror, constantly adjusting her skirt. Her small face was radiant, more so than ever before, and she seemed to have become dazzling.
"Yutong, you look really beautiful today. You can finally change your surname back to Xie now. Congratulations."
Jin Linna said with a smile, "From now on, your name will be Xie Yutong. It sounds quite nice."
Actually, a few days before her birthday, Wen Yutong had already been taken by Wei Xinqiong to change the name on her ID card. However, today, she took the opportunity of the birthday banquet to officially announce it in the industry.
The purpose today is to let everyone in the business world know that Xie Yutong is the Xie family's real long-lost biological daughter!
This was the first time she had officially appeared in front of everyone as Xie Yutong, and she felt her heart pounding like a drum, extremely nervous.
"I also think it sounds beautiful, but I'm afraid it will upset my sister," Xie Yutong sighed.
Jin Linna scoffed, "Why do you care about her? She's been jilted by the Gu family, dropped from her agency, and isn't even a biological daughter of the Xie family. She's like a stray dog. It's a miracle your Xie family hasn't kicked her out! But I haven't seen her much lately. Is she afraid of being embarrassed and afraid to go out? Hahaha!"
Slender, jade-like fingers fiddled with the gemstones on her chest in front of the mirror. Xie Yutong's attention was entirely on the gemstone necklace. "I sent her an invitation; she'll come."
"You still sent her an invitation? I have no idea she won't come. She was so glamorous when Starway Entertainment went public last time. It would be so embarrassing for her if she came today. If she had any brains, she definitely wouldn't come."
Xie Yutong's smile deepened. "She will come."
To outsiders, Xie Yan seemed to have fallen from heaven to hell overnight.
Her privileged family background was a lie; she dreamt of marrying into the Gu family, only to be kicked out overnight.
Aside from rumors circulating in some elite circles, even some posts in entertainment groups have caught wind of the story and started mocking Xie Yan for failing to ascend to immortality.
They've embarrassed themselves beyond recognition.
Xie Yutong sent Xie Yan a message in the morning, telling her that she must come, otherwise her parents would be unhappy.
If Xie Yan still wanted to cling to the Xie family as her last lifeline, she wouldn't dare not come.
Around 6 p.m., the area around the banquet hotel gradually filled with luxury cars.
The hotel was extremely luxurious, and even the staff at the entrance were tall and handsome.
Xie Yan took a taxi here.
A dusty gray taxi stood out conspicuously near the luxury car.
A hotel staff member in uniform frowned and walked over with a serious expression. "Taxis are prohibited from parking in this area—"
The next moment, the car door opened, and a slender figure stepped out.
The girl wore a long black dress, but her tall figure and strikingly beautiful features made her look like a black swan.
The staff member was taken aback. He could tell that the girl in front of him had an extraordinary air about her, but the people who came here today were all rich and powerful. Why would someone come by taxi?
But just to be on the safe side, the person changed their demeanor, smiled, and walked over, "Hello, are you here for the banquet?"
Xie Yan didn't even lift her eyelids, turned around and took out fifty yuan in cash from her bag and handed it to the driver.
The driver knew there might be some event going on nearby and was afraid of scratching or bumping into some luxury car in front of him, so he took the money and sped away immediately.
Xie Yan took out the invitation from her bag and handed it over.
Some people around had already noticed this, after all, everyone wanted to see who was so talented as to take a taxi to attend this kind of event.
"...Isn't that Xie Yan? She actually came today. I thought Xie Yutong had been recognized and that the fake Xie Yutong would have to go back to her poor parents' house!"
"Sigh, she's been spoiled since she was little, how could she possibly want to go back to a life of hardship? As long as the Xie family doesn't kick her out, she'll definitely stay."
"Exactly! Look at how pathetic she looks today, she doesn't even have a car. She has to hurry up and curry favor with the Xie family, hahaha..."
Those people were laughing and whispering to each other, but their voices were quite loud, as if they didn't care if Xie Yan herself heard them.
Xie Yan ignored this and went straight in after handing in the invitation.
She came here today only to complete the mission. After all, as cannon fodder, she was bound to experience some embarrassing moments. Although Xie Yan was annoyed, she still came for the sake of points.
Fortunately, the mission points were plentiful, so this wasn't too bad.
The Xie family sent out invitations very widely today; almost everyone they had met at the Gu family banquet before was present this time.
The Xie family's company mainly operates in the construction and building materials industry. In addition to these companies, they also invited some senior executives from emerging industries to come over, in order to broaden their connections for future business expansion.
The banquet hall is over a thousand square meters in size and decorated in a magnificent style. A huge crystal chandelier hangs from the ceiling, and the surrounding walls are decorated with retro candlestick lamps and murals. There are also long dining tables filled with exquisite food, and even a small plate of fruit is quite expensive.
The banquet was incredibly lavish, which showed just how much the Xie family doted on their biological daughter, Xie Yutong.
Xie Chengwei, as the head of the Xie family, had already taken the stage to give a speech. The usually shrewd and calculating businessman almost had tears in his eyes in front of the microphone, while Wei Xinqiong stood beside him, unable to stop wiping away her tears.
The scene moved everyone in the audience deeply.
Xie Yutong stood below the stage waiting to go on stage, her eyes constantly darting around.
Invitations were also sent to the Gu family for this banquet. I wonder if Gu Qingyu came?
She clearly heard from the staff that the Gu family's invitation had been examined, but why didn't she see Gu Qingyu?
Now that Gu Qingyu has finally regained his freedom, Xie Yutong's heart is warmed again.
Finally, when her father called her name on stage, Xie Yutong came to her senses and lifted the hem of her skirt to go on stage.
Under the gentle spotlight, Xie Yutong's red dress looked exceptionally dazzling. With her delicate and charming appearance and gentle and elegant temperament, she looked incredibly beautiful and graceful at this moment.
Xie Yan silently drank her cola, watching the happy family of three on the stage, who were giving their heartfelt speeches with choked voices.
So touching.
If Xie Yan hadn't known the situation, she would have almost thought they had finally found their daughter after searching for twenty years.
It was clearly the Xie family who initiated the child swap in the first place, yet they're really putting on an act now.
"Tsk, you know what, Xie Yutong is quite pretty even though she grew up outside. I think she has a good temperament and doesn't look like she comes from a poor family at all."
"Yes, she looks even more beautiful now that she's crying. She's so pure and pretty, she's totally my ideal type!"
"Haha! Then go after her! The Xie family's daughter, that title is a perfect match for you, hahaha!"
"That's right, I'll ask for her contact information when she comes down."
Two men in suits were chatting quietly in a secluded spot, holding wine glasses. Xie Yan found their voices as soft as mosquitoes buzzing.
Just as her glass of iced cola was empty, she got up to get some more to drink.
She attended the banquet primarily to freeload and, incidentally, slack off to complete her tasks.
There were more people near the dining table than before, and as soon as Xie Yan walked over, she was met with stares from all directions.
Now everyone knows that Xie Yan is not Xie Yutong's biological daughter, and she is in a very awkward situation, especially since she appeared at Xie Yutong's birthday party where they recognized each other.
"Isn't this Xie Yan? Why does she look so listless today?"
A loud male voice rang out beside her, attracting the attention of those around her. Xie Yan turned her head and saw the familiar white abscess.
Isn't that the annoying guy outside the school office a few days ago? I think his name is Wang Zhiyuan? What's he doing here?
Xie Yan was holding a glass of mango juice. Her hair was casually draped over her back, and the thin, narrow straps of her little black dress revealed her slender, fair shoulders, which shimmered under the light.
With her light makeup barely noticeable, Xie Yan's striking features completely overshadowed the makeup, creating an overwhelmingly beautiful and intense scene with just a glance.
Before Xie Yan could say anything, another person stepped out from behind Wang Zhiyuan, his tone slightly reproachful, "Don't talk to girls like that, it's very impolite."
Wang Zhiyuan frowned and turned around, "Brother Chuan! You know who she is! This is Xie Yan! She—"
Li Chuan glanced at him briefly, and Wang Zhiyuan immediately fell silent.
The reason is simple: Wang Zhiyuan was able to get into such a high-end event today because of Li Chuan, who is the only son of the Li family.
Although the Li family is not one of the top enterprises in Yunchuan City, it is still a well-known name, and their family background is beyond the imagination of someone like Wang Zhiyuan, a nobody.
Li Chuan was overweight, and his oversized suit made him look somewhat comical, but no one dared to make fun of him.
His small eyes lingered on Xie Yan's face, and he looked her over carefully from head to toe before finally smiling.
"Hello Xie Yan, I didn't expect to run into you here. I heard you're transferring to our department. I'm your senior, and we'll be competing together in a few days. Feel free to ask me any questions."
Wang Zhiyuan was stunned.
Hey bro, what's wrong with you?!
You were the most enthusiastic when you were leading the team to post negative comments, how come you're acting all high and mighty now!
Li Chuan's lecherous gaze was too obvious, making Xie Yan feel very uncomfortable.
She complained to the system, "I feel like I'm being raped by his gaze. It's disgusting, I feel like throwing up, and I want to punch him."
System: [He's really disgusting. Men who look like this rarely appear in our novel worlds. He's definitely cannon fodder among cannon fodder.]
Xie Yan was speechless. [Please don't insult the term "cannon fodder," okay? I'm cannon fodder too, and we cannon fodder have human rights too.]
She completely ignored the outstretched hand, showing no intention of shaking it. She barely maintained her politeness, said "okay," and prepared to leave.
But Li Chuan wasn't going to let her leave just like that.
Li Chuan was initially very opposed to her, but now that her participation in the competition is a done deal, and besides, things are different now. Xie Yan is in a lowly position and nobody wants her; I heard she even came by taxi today, but she's so beautiful...
Li Chuan felt that since Xie Yan had been materialistic and wanted to marry into the Gu family, he could now forgive her and support her financially.
He grabbed Xie Yan's wrist, his tone lewd, "Don't go yet, let's find a hotel tonight and do some practice problems. How about I give you some pointers? You just transferred here and don't know anything, you probably can't even write a segment tree, right? Let your senior teach you~"
People around gradually turned their attention to this place, and even Jin Linna noticed it.
Jin Linna saw Xie Yan's wrist being grabbed by a fat, pig-like man and chuckled, "Xie Yan, Xie Yan, you've really fallen on hard times now? I heard you didn't even have a driver today? What, Uncle Xie and Aunt Wei aren't taking care of you anymore?"
