The security guard did not speak loudly but he was not soft enough to stop others from listening in.
This lost the Gu and Huang families’ a lot of face.
“Don’t know where they are? Perhaps they’ve gone to prepare some ceremony to welcome our Qianqian back to their family? After all, even the old master is here today!”
Although Jiang Shuwan had a bad hunch about this, she still blurted those shameless words to support Zhong Qianqian.
Everyone from the Gu family and the Huang family did not look so well. Mrs. Gu looked at Zhong Qianqian and felt that she should make an appearance one more time.
“Qianqian, it’s already half-past twelve. The guests are all hungry. Why don’t you call your uncle again and ask when they can come over?”
“Okay.” Since Nangong Qin answered her call earlier, the single-celled Zhong Qianqian did not realize that the situation had developed in a way that the Gu and Huang families did not dare imagine. She immediately fished out her phone that had been smashed into a spider web and called Nangong Qin.
The phone rang for a long time, but no one picked up.
Zhong Qianqian was not worried at all. She mumbled, “No one is picking up the call. Maybe they’re truly preparing a huge present for me?”
The guests at the back felt like laughing.
As her family, they did not acknowledge her before she got married. Now that it was already half-past twelve and they had yet to reach the wedding venue. Yet, she still thought that they would give her a big present?
It would be good enough if this did not end up in sorrow!
“Tsk tsk, what a joke. There I was, wondering if she’s some treasure of the Nangong family. In the end, she’s just a pair of worn-out shoes that the Nangong family abandoned!”
Shi Yalin had originally come to provoke Zhong Qianqian. Now that she saw that the Nangong family did not care about Zhong Qianqian, she instantly felt that all of these had been for naught. She pressed the elevator button, and the elevator happened to be on the 22nd floor. Then, she went down.
She went down…
Coincidentally, the elevator beside that one was also on the 22nd floor. The elders who accompanied Shi Yalin were collateral descendants of the Shi family. Seeing that their Elder Miss left, they no longer had a reason to give the Gu and Huang family any face and entered the elevator as well.
After a while, the phone of the head of a second-tier wealthy family rang. He picked up the call.
“Hello? …what? …okay, I’ll be right there.”
After hanging up, the man’s eyes flashed shiftily. He pressed the elevator button too, but it went up.
After pressing the elevator button, only then he explained, “I’m sorry, there’s something urgent at my company. I’ll head up first.”
After saying that, he glanced at Gu Mingzhe and Zhong Qianqian and smiled. “I wish the two of you a blissful marriage.”
Since the man was a top-tier powerhouse from the second-tier wealthy families, both the Huang and Gu family heads were exchanging pleasantries with him. After all, it was already good enough that he had come personally.
The Gu and Huang family heads could only express their regret that the man could not attend the wedding banquet. They said that they would definitely tell their in-laws that he was present.
The guest nodded politely. The elevator arrived and he entered.
“Wait, let’s go together.”
The Ning family and the Xiao family also sent some people over today. They were all collateral relatives. However, to the Gu family and the Huang family, these people were still far beyond their reach since they were equivalent to the top second-tier wealthy families.
“I’m going up.”
After the guest entered, he told them where he was going.
However, the Ning and Xiao families also smiled and said, “What a coincidence. We also have something to attend to upstairs.”
Then, they walked in.
After entering the elevator, they were about to press the button to the 66th floor when they realized that the button had already lighted up.
Therefore, the three parties looked at each other in the elevator in tacit understanding.
Before this group of people went up, another guest received a call and pushed the elevator button to head up too.
