Qiao Xi nodded. It was not strange for a century-old family like the Yin family to have their own businesses, but the Yin family’s headquarters was in Shengdu. Why would they spend so much effort to open a huge restaurant in Li City?
Moreover, the word ‘Yun’…
Qiao Xi suddenly reacted. Her grandmother’s children all had the word ‘Yun’ in their names. Perhaps she opened Yingyun Hall in Li City to commemorate her deceased daughter, Yunqiu.
The car slowly stopped outside Yingyun Hall. The waiter at the door went forward to open the car door. Qiao Xi elegantly got out of the car, but Gu Zheng sat in the car and watched Qiao Xi leave.
Song Shiyu looked surprised. “President, aren’t you going with Young Madam?”
Gu Zheng lowered his eyes and hid the emotions in them. He said casually, “I’m going to see someone.”
“Alright, President. I’ll send you there now!” Song Shiyu quickly prepared to start the car.
Gu Zheng patted his shoulder and interrupted him. He said indifferently, “Get out of the car.”
Song Shiyu: “?” If he did not drive there, was the president going to walk there? Or was the person he was going to see in Yingyun Hall?
Before he could think it through, Gu Zheng pointed at him and said coldly, “Get out of the car and let Song Shijing drive.”
Song Shiyu looked aggrieved. “President, why won’t you let me drive? Do you hate me so much? Do our many years of friendship amount to this in the end?”
On the other hand, Qiao Xi had already entered. The waiter asked Qiao Xi if she had made a reservation. She directly said Yin Jinglin’s name. The waiter immediately said respectfully, “So you’re Miss Qiao! Young Master’s private room is at the far end. You might not find it since it’s your first time here. I’ll bring you there.”
Qiao Xi knew that Yin Jinglin would definitely use the most luxurious and spacious private room in the entire Yingyun Hall for his birthday, so it was impossible for it to be on the first and second floors.
The waiter led the way and was about to bring her upstairs when a dissatisfied voice suddenly came from behind.
“Xi Xi, why are you here? You didn’t reply to our invitation, so I thought you weren’t coming!” Xia Cheng frowned with displeasure.
Qiao Xi: “…” Xia Cheng? Why were they here?
She looked up and sized up the surroundings. When she saw that the Xia family was dressed formally and Xia Mengyan was dressed to the nines with exquisite makeup, she instantly realized that the apprenticeship banquet was being held in Yingyun Hall!
The Xia family’s banquet was actually held in the Yin family’s restaurant. What a coincidence!
In the eyes of the Xia family, Qiao Xi’s appearance made them think that she had secretly come over although she said she would not attend.
20 minutes ago.
Xia Cheng was wearing an expensive suit as he stood at the door to welcome the guests. Although Fang Shiyun was not here yet, the people he sent out had sent a message saying that Fang Shiyun had already left and was heading toward Yingyun Hall.
Hearing the guests’ compliments, Xia Cheng had a proud smile on his face. From time to time, he would praise his granddaughter for being outstanding. He would be at ease if the Xia family was handed to his granddaughter to manage in the future.
“Old Xia! I’m really envious of you! Your granddaughter is good-looking and so talented. I heard from my daughter that your granddaughter is a famous perfumer. The perfumes she makes are selling like hot cakes overseas! You can’t buy them even if you have enough money!”
Xia Cheng’s old face was red as he said generously, “You’re too kind. After the banquet, don’t be in a rush to leave. Let Mengyan bring your daughter to pick out a few bottles of perfume.
“Mengyan has been studious since she was young. She was proficient in the four arts since she was five years old. Many people say that she’s a genius, but who knew that she grew up to be a perfumer? At least she made a name for herself overseas. However, it’s not strange for girls to like these things. As long as she likes it, it’s fine. I won’t force her to do anything she doesn’t like.”
After Xia Cheng finished speaking, his friends continued to praise him. “Old Xia! Don’t be humble. Your granddaughter is really a talented woman! She has such achievements at such a young age. Her future is definitely limitless. She’s not like my unfilial son who only knows how to eat, drink, and play. He doesn’t do any proper work. It’s my fault for not raising my son well! We all want to know how you educated your granddaughter!”
Old Madam Xia instantly beamed. Her precious granddaughter had indeed not disappointed her and brought honor to the Xia family.
As everyone was chatting, someone suddenly mentioned, “Old Xia, don’t you have another granddaughter?”
As soon as that person finished speaking, the atmosphere instantly fell silent. Xia Cheng’s expression was a little ugly. That person realized that he had said something wrong and hurriedly opened his mouth to salvage the situation. Unexpectedly, Xia Cheng smiled heartily and said, “It’s nothing that can’t be said. It’s just that that child isn’t close to the Xia family. Mengyan has already sent her an invitation to this apprenticeship banquet, but she’s unwilling to come.”
