Chapter 547: The Highest Position in Jijing Continent
Huo Zhi stood by the car and turned towards her slowly. His silver suit was very neat and meticulous and his eyes were deep and dark.
Their eyes met but neither said anything.
Lu Chengzhou slanted his body. He had a hand in his pocket as he looked at Huo Zhi. His eyes were really sharp and cold.
Nobody at the banquet had seen Huo Zhi before, but everyone who was invited to today’s banquet had extraordinary status and backgrounds.
Everyone began speculating about Huo Zhi.
At the entrance of the hotel, something was brewing among the three of them.
“Brother Cheng, Sister Mang.” A carefree female voice was heard from inside the hotel.
Qin Fang, He Yidu, Qin Yaozhi, and Qin Rui walked over. When He Yidu and Qin Fang saw Huo Zhi, they were shocked. When they reacted, the casual looks on their faces vanished.
When they first found information on Huo Zhi awhile back, they had all been surprised. They also found it very strange as to why Gu Mang would know a person like him.
And now he was here at the birthday banquet.
Would people from that place care about the Qin family’s birthday banquet? Do they care about families of that status level?
Qin Fang looked at Gu Mang and Lu Chengzhou, then at Huo Zhi. He felt a little nervous. They had better not cause bloodshed at his grandfather’s 80th birthday banquet.
The Qin family could not offend either party.
Qin Yaozhi did not notice their expressions. She strode towards Gu Mang, all smiles. “Sister Mang, you’re here.”
Gu Mang looked down and the cold look disappeared. She turned to Qin Yaozhi and uttered an ‘ah’ casually.
Because it was summer, the weather was still very hot even late into the day. The hot wind was blowing in everyone’s faces and Qin Yaozhi narrowed her eyes. “It’s too hot out here, Sister Mang, let’s head in first.”
Qin Fang reacted and said immediately, “Right, right. Brother Cheng, Sister-in… Sister Mang, let’s go in first.”
There were quite a lot of people at the entrance and they were looking at them, so Qin Fang did not call Gu Mang ‘sister-in-law’ as he was afraid that it might cause her trouble.
Initially, everyone’s attention had been on Lu Chengzhou and Huo Zhi. But the sudden usage of ‘Sister Mang’ changed everyone’s expressions.
What’s more, Qin Fang had acted so respectfully.
Lu Chengzhou and Gu Mang walked in and Qin Yaozhi followed beside Gu Mang. She chatted with her jovially.
Qin Fang took a few steps forward and told Huo Zhi, “Mr Huo, this way please.”
Huo Zhi’s face darkened when he saw Gu Mang and Lu Chengzhou holding hands.
Seeing that Gu Mang had left, the bald man beside Huo Zhi became anxious. He lowered his voice. “Sir, aren’t you going to say ‘hello’ to Ms. Gu?”
When Qin Fang heard this, his eyes glowed. Huo Zhi was indeed here for Gu Mang.
The bald man waited for a few seconds. Upon seeing that Huo Zhi did not take any action, he was even more anxious. “Sir?”
Huo Zhi did not speak. He walked into the hotel.
Qin Fang tutted when he saw that the man had completely ignored him. As the person who held the top position on the Jijing Continent, he treated everyone else like they were inferior.
…
In the banquet hall.
The decorations were magnificent and extremely luxurious. Everyone gathered to greet one another.
“Yu Shu, someone in the group chat said that Young Master Lu is here,” said a lady who was holding her phone.
Yu Shu was startled. She smiled casually and denied it. “He never attends any banquets. Perhaps, he has something nearby?”
The lady nodded after some thought. “Perhaps so. If Young Master Lu was coming, he would have come with you.”
Although Qin Fang was very close to Young Master Lu, when it came to attending such a banquet, the Qin family was not up to the level yet.
And if he really came, why wouldn’t Yu Shu know about it?
When Yu Shu heard this, the corner of her lips curled up. “I’ll give him a call. If his matters aren’t urgent, he might be able to come.”
The other lady tutted and laughed. “Showing off your love, huh?”
Yu Shu twirled her hair shyly. “Let me give him a call.”
“Alright, hurry.”
Just as she said that, there was a commotion at the entrance of the banquet hall.
