She Is From The Countryside-Chapter 577

577 banquet at yanyun manor

he snorted in disdain. so what if he was serious? Even if Xuan Jinrui could compete with her, he had to make sure his body could last until then!

she had asked around and found out that with xuan jinrui’s current physical condition, he could only live for three years at most, and his health would get worse by the day.

She did not doubt the authenticity of this news at all.

If he had not been an arrow at the end of its flight and had no time to slowly fight with her, with Xuan Jinrui’s shrewdness, he would not have taken the risk of offending the fifth Lord and walked up to him a few days ago to spread the rumor that he was on good terms with him.

Xuan Jinrui obviously wanted to use fifth Lord Jiang’s east wind to quickly end this battle for inheritance!

She wanted to see what Xuan Jinrui was up to!

The next day.

Today was a lively day, at least for the upper class of the capital, because the banquet organized by the mysterious owner, Yanyun Manor, had begun. Whether or not they had received the invitation, everyone was paying close attention to the banquet.

...

the banquet was scheduled for three o ‘clock in the afternoon, and about two-thirds of the guests who had received the invitation had arrived at twelve in the morning.

Everyone couldn’t wait to see the host of today’s banquet.

however, until 2:30 in the afternoon, they still did not see anyone who could be considered the host of the banquet. it had been a few hours since they stepped into yanyun manor, and the waiters had been receiving them.

as one of the people who had always wanted to make friends with the owner of misty cloud manor, xuan siyun arrived at eleven in the morning. she had drunk a lot of wine, but she still hadn’t seen him.

He asked the waiter, but the waiter only politely told him to wait patiently and that he would naturally see the guest when the banquet started. xuan siyun had used her identity as the heir of the xuan family more than once to meet the other party in private, but the waiter had rejected her in a neither humble nor overbearing manner.

there were many people like xuan siyun who wanted to greet the host in advance.

The Shi family was an exception.

Speaking of the Shi family, the other guests at the banquet were no strangers to them. After all, they were in the capital. However, it was the first time that they had seen so many people from the Shi family appear at the same banquet.

Even old master Shi and old Madam Shi, who had long retired and had not appeared in public for a long time, were here.

Since they couldn’t see the host of the banquet, the guests could only turn their attention to other people. After all, everyone who appeared at the banquet today had a certain status in their own field.

the shi family, who received the most attention, was naturally the main target, but not many people dared to approach them to talk.

...

however, this was only directed at old master shi and old madam shi, as well as the previous and current heads of the shi family, shi lin and shi poran. it was not directed at the rest of the shi family.

Many people approached a celebrity from the entertainment industry like Shi Bozhen to strike up a conversation.

There were not many people at the banquet who didn’t know about the relationship between Shi Bozhen and the Shi family. in addition to the intention of making friends, he also came forward to chat.

it was no secret that the second young master of the shi family had left home for nine years. now that he had appeared at a banquet in the capital with the rest of the shi family, it was not difficult to see that he had already reconciled with his family.

Xuan Siyun naturally noticed the popular Shi family.

Thinking of their relationship with Shi Yan, she narrowed her eyes and finally locked on to Shi boxiang, who seemed to have the best temper.

“Second young master Shi.” She walked over with a glass of wine.

at that time, shi bozhen was making small talk with someone. he had brought a female companion with him, and ju yanya was holding his hand.

ju yanya was only in the background today. she was purely there to serve as a foil, so she was just accompanying shi bozhen and making small talk as his female companion the entire time. she didn’t have much presence.

although they were said to be decorations, they were actually pulled by shi boxiao to support shi yan’s appearance.

There wasn’t much going on at the banquet today. She was just a well-known movie queen in the entertainment industry. If anything happened at the banquet, she would be the heiress of the Qingcheng family’s old power.

...

“miss xuan.” shi bozhen nodded lightly.

he wasn’t familiar with xuan siyun, and shi yan had mentioned her in front of him, so he had some guesses about the relationship between shi yan and xuan siyun. he didn’t have a good impression of xuan siyun.

“i haven’t seen second young master shi for many years.”

Not many people knew about ju Yanya’s identity, not even Xuan Siyun, so in her eyes, she was just a slightly famous actress in the entertainment industry. She directly ignored her. 𝑓𝑟eℯ𝒘𝗲𝑏n𝑜𝚟𝙚𝒍.𝒄o𝐦

if I remember correctly, ” Shi Bozhen said, ” I met miss Xuan at a business cocktail party not long ago.

“At that time, I met Best Actor qu, not second young master Shi.”

“That’s true,”

Shi Bozhen didn’t argue with her about the difference between Best Actor qu and the second young master of the Shi family. He had never been someone who could suppress his temper. Since he didn’t like Xuan Siyun, he didn’t intend to pretend to be polite to her.

he said maliciously,”i heard that miss xuan came to visit yanyun manor yesterday?” I wonder if you’ve seen the owner of the manor?”

It wasn’t something to be proud of when she was refused to see her and still stayed at the door for hours. The smile on Xuan Siyun’s face faded.

“This doesn’t seem to have anything to do with second young master Shi.”

...

“It does have nothing to do with me, but I just happened to hear miss Xuan asking the host about it. As an old classmate, I’m just asking out of kindness. i’m friends with the owner of misty cloud manor. if miss xuan has something urgent to discuss with her, i can help you.”

previously, he did not know who the owner of the misty cloud manor was. he only had a guess. he only confirmed it when he saw tong yan and tang fu secretly giving orders to the attendants.

“You know the owner of this place?” Xuan Siyun was so excited that her voice went up a pitch.

Naturally, it was not excitement.

Shi Bozhen was Shi Yan’s second brother. It wasn’t a good thing for her that Shi Bozhen knew the owner of Yanyun Manor and had a good relationship with him.

I do. Miss Xuan, do you need me to introduce you? ”

She tried to find any signs of him lying on his face, but unfortunately, as a professional actor, he had to manage his facial expressions. She couldn’t tell.

“Thank you for your kindness, but there’s no need!” He said unhappily with a frown.

“alright, then i won’t force you.”

At this moment, someone walked towards them.

“Second young master Shi, the movie queen.”

...

it was jiang yun, who was holding jiang bai’s arm.

the shi family arrived around two o ‘clock, while the jiang family arrived a little earlier.

Knowing the relationship between Shi Yan and the Shi family, Jiang Yun and the other members of the Jiang family, who had always been friendly to Jiang che and Shi Yan, treated the Shi family as the main targets of this banquet. Once the Shi family arrived, Jiang Yun held Jiang Bai’s arm and went to greet them one by one.

They did not care about the Shi family’s attitude towards them.

At least, that was what Jiang Yun appeared to be.

She even only greeted Shi boxiao elegantly and completely ignored Xuan Siyun.

“Second young master Jiang, third young miss Jiang.” Shi Bozhen and ju Yanya nodded slightly. Their attitudes weren’t warm, but they weren’t cold either. They were much nicer than Xuan Siyun.
