In the banquet hall.
These guests were all invited by Shen Yu and the others. Qiao Xi did not participate in inviting them at all.
The Zhao family came because Qiao Xi had saved the life of a member of their family. The other families were inextricably linked to the Shen, Qin, and Xue families. They also knew Qiao Xi’s identity, so they would naturally rush over to attend her birthday banquet.
When Qiao Xi went to Imperial Capital last time, she had once caused a stir. Everyone knew that these great families treated Qiao Xi like a pearl in their palm.
Moreover, everyone knew that Qiao Xi was married to that master who wasn’t an ordinary person.
When everyone entered the banquet hall, they realized that the second young master of the Gu family, Gu Yao, was actually mixing drinks for everyone. Everyone was even more certain of Qiao Xi’s status.
The Yang family also found out that Qiao Xi might be the legendary top hacker, Black Tide, which was why the eldest daughter of the Yang family had rushed over from the capital.
No matter if Qiao Xi was the beloved daughter of the four major families, Mrs. Gu, or Black Tide, any one of these identities could not be underestimated.
At this moment, the banquet hall was filled with people, and everyone circled around Qiao Xi. It caused Wen Xi and the others to gnash their teeth with rage.
“Miss Qiao, Miss Qiao!”
The guests who rushed over from Xu Anran’s side shouted anxiously, “Happy birthday! Miss Qiao, we’re all here to celebrate your birthday. It’s just that Mr. Xu and Madam Xu didn’t let us leave just now, so we were delayed. I’m sure you won’t blame us.”
“That’s right, Miss Qiao. We originally planned to rush over after giving her our gifts, but who knew that Miss Xu Anran would hold us back? That’s why we’re late. Look, the moment we gave her our gifts, we rushed over.”
Qiao Xi smiled meaningfully, and everyone hurriedly lowered their heads in fear.
Gu Yao said in a low voice, “They’re all fence sitters. Seeing that the guests here are more distinguished, they came over to Qiao Xi’s side. Their presence doesn’t even matter.”
“It’s alright, I won’t blame you.” Qiao Xi smiled gently.
The guests were overjoyed and immediately walked in. After entering, they were frightened. There were many important people here, and they couldn’t afford to offend them. Therefore, they had to be careful in everything they did.
Wen Xi looked reluctant. Her parents snorted unhappily. “So, it turns out Xu Anran is the real adopted daughter. If I had known about this, I wouldn’t have let you curry favor with her. What a waste of time.”
“Did you offend Miss Qiao previously because of Xu Anran? Are you stupid? Don’t you know what kind of person Miss Qiao is? The families attending her birthday party can easily make the Wen family suffer. You’re killing the Wen family here!”
Wen Xi bit her lip tightly and refused to make a sound.
She curried favor with Xu Anran for the sake of the Wen family. Who knew that Qiao Xi had such a strong background? It was too late to say anything now. She reckoned that Qiao Xi would not forgive her and only hoped that she would not cause trouble for the Wen family.
At this moment, Xu Anran walked in with Xu Zhi and Xia Yunlou. When she saw everyone surrounding Qiao Xi and wishing her a happy birthday, her face turned gloomy.
Xia Yunlou was indignant. “Don’t they see that we’re here too? Why isn’t anyone wishing Anran a happy birthday?”
Xu Anran lowered her head and said aggrievedly, “Mom, it’s alright. Let’s go in.”
On the other hand, Li Xing’er looked at everyone sitting down and snorted. “They were mocking you just now, but once they found out that you had backers, they immediately rushed over. Only you would let them in. If it were me, I would have asked the bodyguards to chase them out!”
“Of course, it’s useful for me to let them in.” Qiao Xi blinked and smiled slyly.
Li Xing’er was confused.
Qiao Xi said indifferently, “They came from Xu Anran’s banquet hall. Originally, they wanted to celebrate Xu Anran’s birthday. Now, the other party’s birthday party hasn’t even ended and they’ve already come to my side. I think Xu Anran’s expression must be very interesting to see!”
At this moment, Xu Anran was probably angered to death!
As soon as Qiao Xi finished speaking, she heard a commotion not far away. She looked toward the source of the noise and saw Xu Anran’s face gradually turning sinister. Her eyes were filled with resentment.
Qiao Xi sneered. “See, they’re already here.”
In the banquet hall.
