1727 Zhong Yiliu Left Too
Qiao Nian, Master Cheng, and the others had been arranged to sit at the last table. Logically speaking, whether they came or left, they wouldn’t attract too much attention.
However, Qiao Nian had caused too much noise just now.
Almost everyone’s attention was on them.
Even Master Cheng, who had seen many big scenes, couldn’t help but tense up. He coughed and called the others. “Let’s go.”
Nie Mi, Liang Conglin, and the others woke up from their daze and stood up to follow.
Qiao Nian let Master Cheng walk in front.
Nie Mi and Liang Conglin walked in the middle.
She walked at the back alone.
The girl’s appearance was outstanding, especially after she stood up. Even though she was wearing a cap that covered a portion of her face, it could not hide her unruliness.
It was not intentional, but it was quite arrogant!
Qiao Nian left.
An old man with white hair sat at one of the tables in the front row. He stood up and prepared to leave with his things.
The person beside him was shocked and hurriedly asked, “Elder Zhong, where are you going?”
Zhong Yiliu was in a hurry to chase after the girl. He said without looking back, “Isn’t the banquet over? I have something on, so I’ll leave first.”
He left so quickly that he barely gave anyone a chance to ask him to stay.
The person beside him watched as he chased after the girl in a hurry. He said to the person on his left in confusion, “Tsk, who exactly is that girl? I think Elder Zhong left to chase after her.”
Today was the Ji family’s banquet!
The Ji family’s status in the Independent Continent was self-evident.
Elder Zhong didn’t even give them face. The banquet had just ended, and he chased after her… How should he put it? Either he was old and muddle-headed, or there was another possibility—that girl’s status in Elder Zhong’s heart was far higher than the trouble he would get by offending the Ji family!
If it was the second possibility, this would be something to be concerned about.
“I don’t know.”
“I’ve never heard that name before.”
“Have you heard that name before?”
After asking around, everyone shook their heads with dumbfounded expressions. They looked even more curious than him and wanted to find out more information from him.
“Did you hear Elder Zhong mention her when you were sitting with him?” someone asked him.
“He mentioned it.”
Everyone at the table looked at him with anticipation.
It could be seen how much Qiao Nian had left a deep impression on these people from the Independent Continent.
“What did Elder Zhong say?”
He could only smile insincerely. Then, he looked at the person who asked him and exhaled, then said expressionlessly, “…A girl from Country Z.”
Everyone at the table fell silent.
A girl from Country Z???
Was this considered an introduction?
Seeing that the others had the same reaction as him just now, he finally felt a little better. He sat calmly in his seat and did not speak.
…
At the main table of the banquet, some people were preparing to leave after Zhong Yiliu.
“CEO Lu?”
Lu Zhi’s legs were inconvenient. Thus, he always had bodyguards by his side to take care of his daily life. Lu Zhi raised his hand slightly, and someone immediately came over to push his wheelchair.
Lu Zhi was an influential figure at this banquet. His every move was much more eye-catching than a girl from Country Z who appeared out of nowhere.
As expected, the moment he moved, someone immediately noticed and asked him, “CEO Lu, are you leaving early?”
Ji Ziyin was also at this table.
All her attention had been on Qiao Nian. She still hadn’t regained her senses even after the girl left.
But Lu Zhi’s actions attracted her attention.
