1693 Live And Die With The Situ Family
Seeing this scene, everyone had their own thoughts. Since Miss Qiao could invite Huo Yuzhou to the banquet, wouldn’t they offend Huo Yuzhou if they didn’t go? However, if they went, they would offend Old Madam Xia. If they had known earlier, they would have found an excuse not to come.
During the second half of the banquet, everyone was in an uncomfortable situation. However, it was very lively in Hua Xia Hotel which was opposite First Class Residential. Ji Huaizhi’s arrival surprised everyone present, but Qiao Xi’s expression showed that she was already expecting it.
Before the commotion caused by Ji Huaizhi subsided, someone came to inform them that Yang Wei was here. Yang Wei was the heir of the Yang family. Two of the four major families had already come, so only the Huo family was left.
A moment later, Huo Yuzhou also came, making everyone present exclaim.
On the other hand, Xia Jingan walked in front of Qiao Xi and asked softly, “They’re all here. Why hasn’t the banquet started?”!!
Qiao Xi said with a smile, “The Situ family isn’t here yet!”
“Actually, I’ve long guessed that I have relations with the Situ family. Everyone in the capital knows that I came this time. The Situ family must have long received the news. Since I’m already here, there’s no reason for them not to appear.”
Xia Jingan sighed softly. This sister of his could not be underestimated!
The Situ family had declined, but they were still a noble family in the capital. Although their power was inferior to the four major families, no one dared to provoke them. Qiao Xi was curious about what the Situ family had that the four major families were afraid of.
Halfway through the banquet, a low-profile and luxurious car stopped at the entrance of Hua Xia Hotel. That person only put down the gift before leaving.
Qiao Xi opened the gift box and saw a rose brooch inside. Although the other party did not reveal their identity, Qiao Xi could guess that they must be from the Situ family.
Gu Zheng stood beside her and pulled her into his arms before kissing her forehead.
Qiao Xi looked at the rose brooch in a daze and put it on her chest.
“Think it through. Wearing it means that you’re a member of the Situ family and want to live and die with the Situ family.” Gu Zheng’s voice was low as he muttered softly in her ear.
Qiao Xi nodded without the slightest hesitation. “I want to know everything about my mother. I want to know the secret from back then. Since I’ve decided to come to the capital, it’s absolutely impossible for me to stay out of trouble. We can’t forget about the Situ family’s murder case just like that.”
“Alright,” Gu Zheng replied softly, his voice filled with strength. “Since the Situ family has already expressed their attitude, the heads of the Ji, Yang, and Huo families will definitely arrive in a while. At that time, you’ll definitely be famous in the capital. But don’t be afraid. I’ll accompany you.”
Qiao Xi opened her arms and hugged his waist. She pressed her ear against his chest and listened to his strong heartbeat as well as clear breathing. She felt extremely at ease.
Half an hour later, a few luxury cars drove into the parking lot of Hua Xia Hotel without any obstruction.
…
At this moment, in the banquet hall of First Class Residential.
At this moment, a waiter pushed the cake up. The lights shone on Xia Chunyu, and the diamond crown on her head dazzled brightly. Xia Chunyu smiled. “Grandma, let’s cut the cake!”
Yin Lianyi nodded with a smile. “Chunyu, happy birthday to you. You’ll always be…”
Before she could finish, someone suddenly exclaimed. Yin Lianyi looked unhappy when she was suddenly interrupted, so that person hurriedly shut up.
However, the next second, someone suddenly stood up again. “No way!”
Yin Lianyi’s expression darkened. Before she could speak again, a few of them stood up. “Old Madam Xia, Miss Xia, I’m sorry. I suddenly have something to attend to, so I have to leave now.”
With that, the person hurriedly left the banquet hall. Right on the heels of that, the few people who stood up all found an excuse to leave.
Xia Chunyu’s face was pale as she squeezed out a smile. “Let’s continue cutting the cake.”
As soon as she finished speaking, a few more people stood up. “I’m sorry, Old Madam Xia. I have something urgent to attend to at the company. I’ll take my leave first.”
After that, half of the guests left. Yin Lianyi’s face alternated between red and green.
At this moment, someone said indignantly, “Miss Xia, they left in a hurry before the cake was even cut. Aren’t they disrespecting Miss Xia by acting like this?”
“That’s right! If they offend the Xia family, they’ll suffer!”
As soon as they finished speaking, they suddenly received a message on their phones. They looked down, and their expressions instantly changed. “Check your phones! No wonder they ran so quickly just now!”
The banquet hall instantly became chaotic. Someone shouted, “Let’s hurry up and go to Hua Xia Hotel to take a look! The patriarchs of the three major families are all there!”
