"Hey, Chief Steward Wen, take a good look! Look carefully! I heard that the Duanmu Family didn't send many pink invitation cards this time.

"It can't be... No …. "It can't be..." Hearing the mocking tone in Chu Lian's words, steward Wen immediately said, "No, I won't." His face was already covered in sweat.

Steward Wen had already heard from the chairman, Qiu Lianshui, that there were only ten pink invitations issued out to the outside world during the banquet. Qiu Lianshui had personally sent out eight of the pink invitations, and not one person was not invited other than the influential people in the federation. The other two were handed over to Duanmu Rong and Duanmu Yan respectively, asking each of them to invite one of their best friends to attend the birthday banquet and the coming of age ceremony.

In the housekeeper's opinion, the pink invitation from the Duanmu sisters was even more meaningful than the chairman of the board, Qiu Lianshui. In the housekeeper's opinion, the pink invitation from the Duanmu sisters was even more meaningful than the chairman of the board, Qiu Lianshui.

If Miss Duanmu's pink invitation was to a woman, then this woman was definitely a close friend of Miss Duanmu's; if it was to a man, then the meaning behind it was intriguing. The steward had even thought that if the age difference between the man and Miss Duanmu was not too great, he would most likely be Miss Duanmu's favorite.

The butler seemed to have watched Duanmu Rong grow up and understood her personality very well. He knew that this young miss would not like anything easily, but the moment she liked something, she would grasp it tightly and would not let it go easily. It was like this for things and for people.

The young man in front of her was about the same age as the eldest miss, and was also very handsome, but his clothes were truly shabby. Compared to the other guests, he was on a completely different level.

Butler Wen could not understand how such a poor, rustic kid could be so favored by Eldest Miss. Could he be more outstanding than the Ye Family's Ye Yi, who worked hard? Even more outstanding than Linghu Fang's Linghu Fang? Compared to Chang Xian of Chang Sheng Company? More handsome than his master? He couldn't even compare to that Fei Yingjie from the Western City's Fei Family Corporation!

Could it be that this young man called Ye Qingdi was pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger? On the surface, he looked shabby, but in reality, his background was better than those of Ye Yi and the other young masters? Or did he have the qualities that Miss Duanmu especially valued? No matter how you looked at it, it didn't look like it!

He looked at the pink invitation card in his hand, then looked at Ye Qingdi, who was standing before him.

"Chief Steward Wen, what are you staring at?" You're not going to let the two of us in, are you? "Alright, let's go!" Chu Lian shouted in dissatisfaction.

You little girl with the surname 'Chu' left just like that, but that Ye Qingdi was a guest personally invited by our Miss Duanmu. It was good that you dragged her away. Don't underestimate me for being a qualified old man after serving the Duanmu family for decades. However, Miss Duanmu has the same personality as her mother. No matter who it is, as long as they dare to touch her reverse scale, they will not have a good ending!

The butler recovered his senses and saw Chu Lian tugging at Ye Qingdi's arm to turn around and leave. He was shocked and quickly walked down the steps of the "Weak Water Residence", stopping in front of Chu Lian and Ye Qingdi. He bowed and replied with a smile, "Mr. Ye, Miss Chu, I am so sorry. Forgive me! "

Ye Qingdi could not help but laugh. He thought that this butler Wen's flattery was too heartbreaking! Using the word "exceptional grace" to describe Chu Lian's waist was naturally very appropriate, but I don't seem to be related to these two words, right? It was more appropriate for me to use The World Madman.

The two of them obviously wouldn't leave. Seeing that Steward Wen was continuously apologizing, they felt too embarrassed to continue making things difficult for him. Thus, they smiled and said a few polite words to him. Under the guidance of the two waiters, they stepped through the 'Weak Water Residence' gate together.

The "Weak Water Residence" was actually a large courtyard that was a combination of the current and old styles. It had a luxurious villa and an exquisite pavilion. In this place, one would never imagine that it was just a private residence, but instead, a beautiful park.

Ye Qingdi and Chu Lian followed the two waiters and walked on a cobblestone street lined with pine trees. They passed through a garden full of flowers and passed through a willow forest full of leaves. Suddenly, the scenery in front of them widened.

In front of a few magnificent villas and pavilions was a huge lawn. The lawn was originally as flat as a mirror, but in order to welcome the guests from all directions, it was covered with a thick red carpet, and there were over a hundred tables on the carpet. At this time, there were only over ten minutes until the banquet officially started, and most of the guests had already sat down under the guidance of the waiters.

Chu Lian had originally said that she would sit with Ye Qingdi, but when she arrived at the banquet site, she discovered that no matter where the guests were seated, they were all arranged by the host.

Seeing Ye Qingdi being led by a waiter to a large round table on the north side of the lawn, Chu Lian wanted to follow as well. However, she was politely stopped by another waiter.

"Miss Chu, your seat is over there. Please follow me." The waiter pointed to the southwest corner of the lawn and smiled.

Chu Lian knew that the "Weak Water Residence" was not her home. She could act however she liked, but the direction the waiter was pointing towards was the edge of the lawn. For someone like Chu Lian, who loved a lively life, this position made her unhappy. She curled her lips and frowned, "Do you have to sit there? I can't sit with my friends? "

At this moment, the classical music changed and the tempo became fresh and cheerful. The waiter's expression also became anxious as he shook his head and pleaded, "Miss Chu, the banquet is about to start, can you please come with me to take a seat?"

"Fine." Chu Lian saw that many of the guests were looking at her with strange expressions. She knew that it would be bad if she continued fooling around. She sighed and followed the waiter to sit at a table at the southwest corner of the lawn.

Chu Qingdi was also very unhappy because he discovered that the place he was sitting at right now was too special and eye-catching, which made him feel unspeakably uncomfortable.

The table in front of Ye Qingdi was set up separately in front of the traditional style villa on the north side of the lawn. When he was led here by the waiter, he discovered that a few guests had already taken their seats.

As soon as Ye Qingdi sat down, he felt that the originally lively scene had suddenly become much quieter. He was then followed by countless pairs of eyes that were focused on him. Some were surprised, some were surprised, some were confused, some were envious, and some were jealous … Under the gazes of tens of thousands of people, Ye Qingdi suddenly felt a bit of regret. He thought that he might as well sit in a corner with Chu Lian, so that they could eat a hearty meal peacefully at the start of the banquet. Then, when they saw Duanmu Rong, he would give her the birthday present he brought with him.

Ye Qingdi did not know the identity of the guests at his table, but when he was a teenager, he was sitting together with a few elders who were a few dozen years old. The age difference between them was too great, and it was difficult to not attract attention, the only consolation was that the few elders were all wearing ordinary clothes, and a few of them were even wearing cloth shoes, looking extremely simple and unadorned. Compared to them, the clothes he was wearing seemed to be of a very "good taste" and "of a very" class ".

Although the elders wore ordinary clothes, the fact that they were able to sit at this special table indicated that they were definitely not simple characters. Ye Qingdi had met many strong and well-hidden experts before, and he knew that the more inconspicuous someone looked, the more one could not underestimate them.

Some of the elders were talking in low voices, some were quietly sipping tea, and some had a cold expression and were completely silent. Ye Qingdi was not familiar with them, so he had nothing to say.

Among those people were the Linghu siblings, Shi Zhongdao, Ye Yi, and Chang Qian. Unexpectedly, Ye Qingdi saw his father, Tong Shi, at one of the tables, and more surprisingly, that charming, boney, and extremely flirtatious Xia Yingmei was also sitting at the table of the child lion.

In fact, many people, including Linghu Xiaoyao and company, had been paying attention to him ever since he sat down at the special table. When they saw his gaze shift over to them, other than Ye Yi, Chang Qian, and a few others, who looked at him coldly, all the other people who knew him nodded and smiled, especially Xia Yingmei and Ye Qingdi. When their gazes met, they blinked at her repeatedly.

"What kind of person is Xia Yingmei? She actually has a close relationship with the Duanmu family!" Since she's here, then her group of sisters should be here as well, right? " Ye Qingdi looked around and sure enough, he saw a few charming companions. However, he did not notice the skinny old man who was with them.
