Rebirth of scumbags

Chapter 64

S Hotel is the most classic masterpiece created by the Xiao family in the past two years through the use of real estate and the hotel industry.Even in City G, the most advanced and modern city in China, the Xiao family's hotel can still make a name for itself in an industry full of powerful people.

And tonight, as the only son of the Xiao family, the engagement banquet between Xiao Changxi and Qiu Yue was naturally chosen to be held in the luxurious banquet hall of his hotel.

Although it is a family that has not fallen, the Xiao family, through the efforts of the above two generations, can now be said to have overwhelmed a group of upstarts in G City, and has a strong momentum of pointing the old family back to the top family, so I came to participate today. The family of their engagement banquet turned out to be unexpectedly neat.

Xiao Changxi and his father Xiao Jiankun stood at the entrance of the banquet hall to welcome the guests. Originally, they thought that Xiao Changxi's engagement partner's family background would be too mediocre and would inevitably drag down the status of the Xiao family. They did not expect that today's original plan would not be The families attending the engagement banquet sent people one after another.

Seeing a situation that far exceeded their expectations, Xiao Changxi and Xiao's father met each other's eyes. Although they still had doubts in their hearts, they couldn't help but smile.

It seems that the Xiao family's efforts in the past few years have not been in vain.

The father and son of the Xiao family were outside to welcome the guests, while Xiao's mother, Zhang Yun, took her youngest daughter, Xiao Pingting, among the many guests in the banquet hall.

Tonight's engagement banquet adopted a combination of Chinese and Western styles. The banquet was held on a Chinese-style round table for 16 people, while the stage set up was a Western-style imitation crystal runway model.

In the past few years, the wedding banquets in City G have gradually begun to become taller and more luxurious. Tonight's engagement banquet is a rare opportunity, although the engagement partner is not what the Xiao family wants to see.First, it can revive the power of the Xiao family in front of many families in G City, and secondly, it can take the opportunity to promote the Xiao family's top hotel and the concept of holding a wedding banquet next time.

Of course, this idea of ​​killing two birds with one stone must come from the hope of the Xiao family, the hand of Xiao Changxi.

Not to mention, although Xiao Changxi is a bit of a scumbag in the relationship between men and women, he is still a good player in the mall.

The economic development of Huaxia Kingdom has become more and more prosperous in recent years, and even the expenditure on wedding banquets has also risen.In the past, people made most of their money by setting banquets in restaurants specializing in catering, but not many people thought about going to star-rated hotels. Most of the really rich people chose to get married in a foreign resort or even abroad.

And what Xiao Changxi wants to do today is not only to let everyone see the strong strength of his hotel, but also to make the headlines of the major newspapers in G City tomorrow, all of which are related to the luxurious wedding banquet at S Hotel.Especially the bright crystal runway, which is the top priority of their wedding promotion.

Before that, G City and even the entire Huaxia Kingdom had a banquet. At most, a simple, slightly higher stage was set up in front of it, so that the host and host could stand on it and give speeches, so that it would be more convenient to lead the banquet. process.

But after today, the entire G city will witness their Xiao family's creativity, which is the first concept of a wedding catwalk introduced to G city by Xiao Changxi.

Sure enough, when the guests entered the banquet hall one after another, they were all attracted by the dazzling crystal T-stage on the main road connecting the stage. Although the "crystal" was only made of tempered glass, it was dazzling in the banquet hall. It looked particularly bright under the light.

"Tingting, have you heard? Your brother is amazing. Did you just hear what the people at the table next to you were talking about? They're all talking about the crystal runway!"

Zhang Yun lowered his voice and whispered to Xiao Pingting beside him, his eyes couldn't help but be proud.

"Of course, that's my brother, but it's a pity to marry such a woman, it's really cheap for the family..."

Xiao Pingting had been studying abroad before, but this time she came back to China for Xiao Changxi's engagement banquet, so today she only had time to meet Qiu Yue herself in the dressing room at the back, but Song Jinzhi and the others didn't see each other at all. Not to mention Song Jinzhi slapped Zhang Yun before.

Xiao Pingting was a sharp-tongued and uninformed master. Although Zhang Yun was aggrieved, he knew her daughter's temper well. In order not to affect today's engagement banquet, he only told her about the situation of the Qiu family, but did not tell her about the situation of the Qiu family. Jin Zhi told her about beating himself.

"Shh, don't say this... There are many people here, pay attention to your appearance."

Zhang Yun patted the back of Xiao Pingting's hand lightly, causing her to quickly put away the disgusting expression on her face.

If a girl doesn't pay attention to her words and deeds outside, it will inevitably be seen laughing behind her back, especially her appearance when she is disgusting, it will not make her look much better.

As a member of the Xiao family, Xiao Pingting will also contribute to the Xiao family in the future.

Although Zhang Yun truly loves her children, she never thought of marrying her daughter into an ordinary family for the sake of her family's glory and her daughter's future.

In the past few years, the strength of the Xiao family was not enough, so she deliberately sent her daughter to study abroad in order to avoid mistakes.But now that the status of the Xiao family has gradually improved, it is time to bring her daughter back to China and move around more with the families in City G who are enough to match the status of the Xiao family.

Alas, what a pity... It turned out that she fell in love with Zhou Yingchen at a glance.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yun dragged Xiao Pingting to walk around the banquet hall again. Now that Zhou Yingchen is gone for the time being, he can only see if he can meet a few suitable candidates.

The two walked in the banquet hall, and greeted the guests who came to the banquet from all walks of life. For some reason tonight, the guests who thought they would not come came here one after another.Seeing those familiar but unfamiliar faces, Zhang Yun was extremely excited.

It seems that the status of the Xiao family has really risen a lot. Those people who didn't like to pay attention to their Xiao family because they were richer than the Xiao family a few years ago are all present today.It seems that they are also afraid of the current development trend of the Xiao family, right?
Thinking of this, Zhang Yun's gestures added a little more grace and decency. In addition to the photographers and photographers personally invited by the Xiao family, there were several reporters from news media squatting around the banquet hall.

Tonight's wedding banquet, in order to publicize and gain word of mouth for the Xiao family and their hotel, Xiao Changxi did not hesitate to use his privacy as a selling point, and invited reporters from many newspapers.

Zhang Yun and Xiao Pingting walked a long circle around the banquet hall, as busy as a butterfly strayed into a flower bush.Along the way, the two laughed and met many guests whose status was either equal to or slightly higher than that of the Xiao family, until they unknowingly came to this area near the main stage.

As relatives of the wife's family at the engagement banquet, even if the Xiao family was reluctant, Qiu Shaoxiong, Song Jinzhi and his wife, as well as Qiao Manyun and Song Yadong, were all seated on the main table.

Fortunately, although the Qiu family's company is more than a star and a half worse than the Xiao family's, Qiu Shaoxiong is quite a wise man.Therefore, when he arrived at the banquet hall today, he was unusually low-key and quiet. He didn't talk to the people around him and didn't brag about his identity as the prospective father-in-law of Xiao Changxi, but he didn't cause any trouble to the Xiao family.

As for Song Jinzhi, Qiu Shaoxiong coaxed him to go to the back to see his daughter not long after he came to the banquet hall. He didn't have a chance to interact with the guests outside at all, so naturally there was no shame in it.

At this time, Qiu Shaoxiong and Song Yadong were sitting together and chatting in a low voice, while the two seats next to Song Yadong with the name strips of Qiao Manyun and Qiao Kui were empty and no one was seen.

"Hey, it's my in-law's family... It's been a busy day, it's really hard work."

While Qiu Shaoxiong and Song Yadong were talking, he suddenly felt that someone was coming. He raised his eyes. When he saw Zhang Yun and Xiao Pingting walking to the table, he immediately smiled and went up to say hello to Zhang Yun very enthusiastically. .

Qiu Shaoxiong always interacts with people with this sincere and smiling appearance in the shopping mall.Therefore, whoever has dealt with him a lot, even if he had some disdain for him before, but after a deep friendship with him, he would be dizzy unconsciously by his sincere and straightforward attitude. It is easy to let go of his guard against him.

Even if Zhang Yun hasn't started to eat his set at this time, but as the saying goes, don't slap the smiling face, not to mention that there are other guests at the table next to it, and there are many reporters taking pictures around, so as not to attract criticism , She suppressed the disdain in her heart, but also greeted Qiu Shaoxiong very kindly.

Although Zhang Yun tried her best to maintain her demeanor, she still couldn't guard against the fast-talking daughter beside her.

Xiao Pingting grew up and studied abroad for a few years, and her style of writing is more westernized. She never likes to hide things she doesn't like, especially for the Qiu family. She looks down on such a family from the bottom of her heart. of.

"What a joke... what in-laws? It's just an engagement with my brother now, and it won't be too late to change your mind when you finally marry into our Xiao family!"

Xiao Pingting's voice was neither too loud nor too small. It was just right for the guests at the two surrounding tables to hear, but it would not disturb the guests and reporters a little further away.

But the guests sitting around the main stage are not ordinary people. Except for the relatives of both men and women, the rest are families whose family background and status are not inferior to those of the Xiao family and the Qiao family.

Xiao Pingting's move was actually to let these families know that the marriage between the Xiao family and the Qiu family was not so certain and willing, and it might turn bad at any time.

The Qiu family designed Xiao Changxi, how could the Xiao family let them take the big boat of the Xiao family so easily, even if they wanted to marry Qiu Yue, she would make her, the young grandmother of the Xiao family, unable to lift her head in front of outsiders. It saves her from using chicken feathers as arrows in the future and pretending to be a tiger outside.

"Tingting, how did you talk..."

Zhang Yun saw that although Xiao Pingting spoke harshly, her tone was light and calm, and her face was calm and composed, and she did not do anything that insulted Miss Xiao's manners, so she felt relieved.

Seeing that the reporters in the distance didn't notice the movement here, Zhang Yun only pretended to stop her a few words, but the words were not serious at all.

"Don't mind Mr. Qiu, this is the little girl Pingting. This child grew up abroad and has a relatively straightforward temper... She just came back and doesn't know much about human relationships in China."

The meaning of this is more than obvious.

The name is Mr. Qiu, not in-laws, and when she said that her daughter only said that she had a straightforward personality, the implication was that what she said was true.

The people around were all understandable, and they immediately understood what was going on here.

No wonder there are rumors in the circle that the Qiao family is a twin sister. Although the two cousins ​​are usually invisible, they are very effective at critical times.

It is said that at Qiao's banquet a few days ago, the two sisters used some means. The cousin hooked up with Xiao Changxi, the only son of the Xiao family, while the cousin with a slightly higher status directly hooked up with Zhou Yingchen, the young master of the Zhou family.

These two are the two most outstanding young people in the younger generation in G City, especially the Zhou family, whose family background, status, means, and appearance are all the top in G City.

But it was such a stunning and eye-catching male god who was booked by the little-known daughter of the Qiao family.

Although I heard rumors that these two people used their own bodies as lures and bait, and they also have unique coquettish and charming features in that respect, but others don't say that Guang Zhou Yingchen is a handsome male god, Even the most charming woman standing in front of him can't match his beauty, right?

The master who can take down that young master is so charming!

Although the Xiao family's engagement banquet is not high enough to invite the Zhou family to attend, the Qiao family's daughter and the heroine of the engagement banquet are cousins, and they will come to the banquet today.

Therefore, all the people who originally decided not to come to the wedding banquet of Xiao's family came to attend, and what's more, after receiving an invitation, a whole family came to see the beauty of Young Master Zhou's fiancée.

However, the Xiao family, who didn't know it, was overjoyed to see the grand occasion full of guests. They really thought that their family's status had been widely recognized by other families in G City, and hurriedly called for the waiters to add tables and seats.

Speaking of which, Qiu Shaoxiong's face had no discoloration after Zhang Yun said so.Not only that, but he also politely praised Xiao Pingting, and then stood up behind Song Yadong without further ado.

Song Yadong has always been in the dominant position in chatting and negotiating with people outside, while Qiu Shaoxiong is mostly behind him, so Song Yadong doesn't care and just greets Zhang Yun as usual.

Although Zhang Yun didn't want to see Qiu Shaoxiong, he didn't want to be embarrassed when he saw that he was so self-conscious and on such an occasion. After a few words of greetings, he asked Song Yadong, "Mr. Song, why didn't you see Man Yun and Ling Ai?"

The position on the main table is reserved for Qiao Manyun and Qiao Kui.

"I'm really sorry. Although Manyun really wants to come here, but I can't hold on to the old problem. Let me say sorry and congratulations to you. As for my daughter, alas... the little girl is so frizzy that she doesn't have much time Concept, you just made a phone call to say that there is still traffic jam on the road, I really made you laugh. My Xiaokui has been like this since she was a child, and I can't do anything about her."

Song Yadong always had a gentle appearance outside, but now he spoke in a gentle and elegant manner, and his attitude was neither humble nor overbearing, which made the guests at the surrounding tables appreciate his attitude.

It's just that from what he said, he spoils his daughter too much.

I came to attend the engagement banquet at someone else's house, but I forgot the time. Although Song Yadong's words contained helpless indulgence and protection, the so-called irritability was just the words on the scene. As a spectator, who could not? I understand.

The guests who had some expectations for Qiao Kui could not help but doubt the veracity of the rumors in their hearts.

Zhou Yingchen's fiancée, will the Zhou family let such an unruly girl be their daughter-in-law?
Sure enough, Zhang Yun's displeasure flashed across her face after hearing Song Yadong's words, but was quickly covered up by a smile.

After a few pleasantries with Song Yadong in a polite manner, Zhang Yun was not in a hurry now. She was still angry at Qiao Kui's contempt for her family after hearing Song Yadong's words, but then, thinking of Qiao Kui's engagement partner, she looked at her again. Looking at the daughter beside her, she wished that Qiao Kui would do more unreliable things to ruin her reputation, so that Tingting in her family would have a chance!

How can a girl like Qiao Kui, who is headstrong, frivolous, spoiled and raised without rules, compare with her carefully raised daughter?

Previously, she would promise Qiao Kui and Xiao Changxi's marriage just because of the wealth of the Qiao family, but now her son has been forced to be engaged to Qiu Yue, who has a low status, which means that their Xiao family has become invisible. With a lot of help, if their daughter can win the favor of the Zhou family at this time, then their Xiao family...

Thinking of another possibility, Zhang Yun couldn't help but feel grateful for his previous arrangement.

Fortunately, after she was bullied by Song Jinzhi that day, because she couldn't get angry, rumors about Qiu Yue and Qiao Kui were spread in the circle early.

At that time, she only wanted to take revenge on the Qiu family and the Qiao family to vent their anger. It would be best if they could ruin the reputation of these two girls, and then ruin their marriage contract by the way.

Originally, it was just an inadvertent insertion, but unexpectedly it may produce better results.Looking at the beautiful and slim Xiao Pingting standing beside her, Zhang Yun seemed to see Zhou Yingchen standing in front of her and smiling at her respectfully.

Until the banquet was about to start, Qiao Kui hadn't appeared yet.

The guests who were originally just regretting that they couldn't see the true face of the Zhou family's fiancee, gradually heard another voice in the crowd.

"After getting engaged, Zhou Yingchen may regret it, so he is not willing to accompany the girl from the Qiao family to the wedding banquet."

"Did that girl feel like she couldn't make it through, so she pretended to be late and didn't come?"

"That's right. I have an engagement partner but no male companion. If it were me, I would be too embarrassed to come..."

"Hate... Your fiancé is obviously abroad, and they didn't mean to not accompany you."

"It seems that the girl from Qiao's family was really dumped by Zhou Nanshen..."

"Really? Then I have another chance!"

Words like this quietly passed around in the crowd, Zhang Yun watched the undercurrent in the banquet hall with satisfaction, and was complacent and proud of his plan.

Zhang Yun's self-satisfied mood lasted until the last 2 minutes before the official opening of the banquet. Almost all the guests of the banquet were present. Generally, those who have not arrived at this time can basically assume that they will not come.

The seats of Qiao Manyun and Qiao Kui were still vacant. The main table was already placed in the front and the most conspicuous position. The two empty chairs were placed there and the guest name stickers were posted behind the backrest, so that people could not ignore them.

Many guests who came to the banquet just to see Qiao Kui's beauty all sighed inwardly.

Alas, although the Qiao family is not the most prominent family in City G, Qiao Haotian was also high-spirited back then, but he did not expect that one generation is not as good as one generation.Today's granddaughter is so unaccountable and responsible.

Just when everyone thought that Qiao Kui and Qiao Manyun would not appear.

Just when Zhang Yun was busy directing the wedding banquet control venue and preparing to start cutting into the music and adjusting the lights to allow his son to enter the venue, two unexpected figures appeared at the entrance of the banquet hall that was about to be closed.
