Chapter 577: Father Xia’s Birthday Banquet
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the house in the corner of the Wei family’s courtyard, few people approached it originally. Now, it was even more deserted.
“My Lord, I’ve found out that Xia Wanyuan has something to do with Jun Shiling.”
“Jun Shiling?” Yu Qian narrowed his eyes. If not for Jun Shiling, he would have squeezed into China’s market long ago. This person had blocked China’s market until it was like an iron plate.
He had territories in the entire world, even Continent M, except for China.
“Why don’t we bring Xia Wanyuan back to Continent F?” The new subordinate was a little rash. Yu Qian glanced at him and the person immediately stopped talking.
“Continue to investigate Jun Shiling’s identity and the places he has been.” No matter how much information was sent, Yu Qian still had doubts about Jun Shiling’s identity. The feeling this person gave him was not right.
“Understood.”
The surveillance cameras of the Wei family were operating non-stop, but the people who entered and exited Wei Zimu’s room did not leave any traces, as if no one had ever been here.
“Sister, I keep feeling that this Wei Zimu has been very evil recently.” In the long corridor, Wei Yang spat out a smoke ring and said to Wei Yu.
Wei Yu had a habit of getting goosebumps when she heard Wei Zimu’s name. In the surveillance video that day, the scene of Wei Zimu standing in front of a group of colorful poisonous snakes with a smile was too scary. Just the thought of it was scary.
“He was originally quite honest. Do you think Xia Wanyuan led him to do something?” Wei Zimu had always been gentle and amiable over the years. Ever since Xia Wanyuan appeared, not only had the Old Madam changed, but even Wei Zimu had changed.
“Brother.” Wei Yu leaned towards Wei Yang. “What if Grandma wants to reunite with Xia Wanyuan? Do you think Grandma will give her the position of the successor of the Wei family?”
Wei Yang stubbed out his cigarette. “Her? That’s impossible. She can’t protect herself now.”
“What do you mean?” Wei Yu asked again, but Wei Yang acted as if he was confident and refused to tell her no matter what.
Looking at Wei Yang’s smug expression, Wei Yu felt a little uneasy.
Although Father Xia was not as poor as before, his 50th birthday was still grand.
Han Yuan had thought that those people who had been on good terms with Father Xia in the past would feel that he was down and would not come anymore. However, to her surprise, more people came than when Father Xia was in power.
In the circle that Han Yuan was in, a group of rich ladies had mocked Han Yuan behind her back because of the Xia family’s bankruptcy.
Han Yuan was already filled with anger. Now, taking advantage of Father Xia’s birthday, Han Yuan invited a large group of people.
“Madam Xia, you’re so lucky.” A well-rounded madam walked over.
“Madam Wang, your presence brings light to my humble dwelling.” Han Yuan smiled, but there was no smile in her eyes. This Madam Wang was the person who had gossiped the most behind her back.
“Madam Xia, you’re too kind.” Madam Wang glanced at the decorations of the banquet and the smile on her face became more genuine. She then saw the latest limited edition bracelet from the C family in Han Yuan’s hand. “Hey, your bracelet is really beautiful. It’s the latest one, right? I heard it’s especially difficult to buy.”
Han Yuan raised her hand, revealing the diamond ring on her hand. “It’s okay. I bought it through a special supply channel.”
“You have such a big diamond. CEO Xia is too good to you.” The ladies were all knowledgeable people. When they saw Han Yuan’s clothes, they knew that the Xia family had recovered their strength. They immediately surrounded Han Yuan again.
Han Yuan returned to the rich ladies’ friend circle and was extremely smug. Just as she was chatting with the ladies about jewelry, there was a sudden commotion at the door. Under everyone’s gaze, a person walked in.
“Isn’t this the Young Master of the Lin family? Madam Xia, you guys sure have face. Even the Young Master of the Lin family is here.”
In Beijing, where there were crouching tigers and hidden dragons, there were many rich and powerful people.
However, not all rich people could be ranked in Beijing.
The Lin family could be considered one of the top families in Beijing,
Although it was not worth mentioning compared to the few large families in the core, in the eyes of others, it was still a level that was difficult to come into contact with.
Lin Qi, the Young Master of the Lin family, had just returned from abroad a few days ago. Many people wanted to build a relationship with them but could not. They did not expect to bump into the Young Master of the Lin family at the Xia family’s banquet.
“Aunt Han.” Lin Qi nodded at Han Yuan. Instantly, everyone looked at Han Yuan differently.
Even Xia Yuanqing did not expect the Lin family to send someone over.
In the early years, the Xia family and the Lin family had a good relationship. However, as the Lin family developed better, Father Xia could not look for them anymore. Otherwise, it would seem like he was hugging onto someone powerful, and their relationship gradually became distant.
Han Yuan threw away the group of ladies. “Young Master Lin, come and sit in the house. Our Yuan Yuan will be here soon.”
Amongst the people present, many of them who had grown up with Xia Wanyuan had colorful expressions on their faces when they heard Han Yuan’s words.
The news of Xia Wanyuan’s rejection of Lin Qi’s confession had spread throughout the industry.
Now that Xia Wanyuan was in the limelight in the entertainment industry, everyone knew that she was good-looking.
Everyone could not help but wonder if these two people were going to renew their relationship. No wonder Young Master Lin would attend the Xia family’s banquet.
Everyone was envious and jealous of the Xia family.
That was the Lin family. The daughter of the Xia family had climbed up a high branch.
However, Xia Yuanqing, who was standing in the crowd, had a livid expression.
