Grandma Pang nodded proudly when she heard this. It was all thanks to her that she disagreed with the others and let Pang Lili stay. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have witnessed such a stunning performance today. Just as she was about to speak, Xi Chenxiao’s deep voice interrupted,
“It’s my wife who’s amazing, not your granddaughter playing well.”
Old Master Pang was furious when he heard this. It was his birthday party, yet someone dared to defy him? This person was simply courting death. Did he even realize where he was? Old Master Pang then turned around and saw that it was Xi Chenxiao. He stood up quickly and extended his hand to Xi Chenxiao as he said respectfully,
“Chairman Xi, you’re here. Thank you for taking time out from your busy schedule. I’m truly honored!”
When Su Jin heard this, she opened her eyes and looked at Xi Chenxiao in surprise. Even in the crowd, Xi Chenxiao was so easy to spot. But didn’t the devil say he was going to attend some banquet? Why was he at Old Master Pang’s birthday banquet? Was he looking for her?
Xi Chenxiao nodded when he heard Old Master Pang’s words. He didn’t want to come at first, but Old Master Pang was an elder and a friend of the Xi family. So, Xi Chenxiao turned up in the end. Seeing Old Master Pang’s politeness, Xi Chenxiao couldn’t remain cold as he replied cordially,
“Old Master Pang, please don’t stand on ceremony! I’ve prepared a small gift for you. Please don’t mind it!”
Xi Tian immediately placed an expensive-looking gift box in front of Old Master Pang. Since it was a birthday party, they mustn’t lose face, much less the reputation of the Xi family. Old Master Pang was very pleased with the gift, but he said politely to Xi Chenxiao,
“Chairman Xi, it’s an honor for me that you are here. There’s no need to waste money on gifts!”
Despite his reply, the butler of Pang residence tacitly accepted the gift from Xi Tian. It was Old Master Pang’s birthday party, and since the Xi family was here, the gift must be extraordinary. Of course, they must accept the gift, or they’d come across as not giving face to the Xi family. The consequences could be serious. Old Master Pang continued with a smile,
“Chairman Xi, would you like to sit here?”
Xi Chenxiao did not even look at Old Master Pang. His gaze was fixed on Su Jin who was still on stage. He would question her properly when they went home. Didn’t she say that she couldn’t attend the banquet with him because she had made plans with her classmate? Why would she appear here and even play the violin for everyone? And it was such a perfect performance? Xi Chenxiao replied plainly,
“I won’t be staying, sorry. I’m just here to fetch my wife.”
Old Master Pang was surprised. He had heard rumors about Xi Chenxiao having a wife, but he didn’t expect it to be true. After all, everyone knew that Xi Chenxiao did not get close to women. And in the past twenty years, no woman could get close to him either. Old Master Pang asked in disbelief,
“You really have a wife?”
Xi Chenxiao nodded. Of course, he had a wife. Moreover, she was the girl who just performed for you. Old Master Pang was very shocked when he saw Xi Chenxiao nod. What kind of woman could win over an outstanding person like Xi Chenxiao? Old Master Pang said quickly,
“Then congratulations, Chairman Xi. If you are having a wedding banquet, please don’t forget to invite this old man. I’ll definitely be there.”
Xi Chenxiao’s gaze was still fixed on Su Jin. All he wanted to do now was to take her home and ask her what’s going on. He would not let the girl out alone next time. What if someone else took a fancy to her? Xi Chenxiao nodded as he replied,
“Okay, I’ll make sure to invite you!”
Old Master Pang noticed that Xi Chenxiao had been looking at the stage. He followed Xi Chenxiao’s gaze and saw Su Jin. He did not expect that the classmate his granddaughter brought back would be Xi Chenxiao’s wife. This was really unexpected. Old Master Pang was also a smart man, so he smiled and said quickly,
“Chairman Xi, you have really good taste! I’ve never met such a devastatingly beautiful and extremely smart girl!”
