Capítulo 1022: Chapter 1023: Attending the Family Banquet (Part 1)
At this mont, those at the Li Family’s residence watched as ti ticked by, growing increasingly anxious.
In the hall, the Elder Lady of the Li Family kept glancing towards the main door, eyes filled with anticipation.
She had specially invited Ruan Qiuting over, hoping these two could appear as a couple together.
The family gathering today was at the Presidential Residence of Country A. As the wealthiest family in Country A, they had all been invited.
Such a grand family gathering surely included globally recognized nobles with status, and naturally, she wanted her grandson to attend with Ruan Qiuting.
This way, everyone in Country A would know that Ruan Qiuting was the future granddaughter-in-law of the Li Family!
As for Huo Yishan, she would make her understand what a crow was compared to a phoenix, and what was unattainable!
“Why hasn’t Yuanyuan returned yet?”
She looked at the empty doorway, seeing no shadow at all.
Xia Xing couldn’t help but wonder if he had gone to find Yishan.
Thinking of this made her restless, because the Presidential Residence was no ordinary place, and Yishan’s status was indeed unsuitable there.
“Xing.”
Lost in thought, the old lady’s voice suddenly rang.
Xia Xing raised her head and looked at the Elder Lady of the Li Family, “Mom.”
“Call Yuanyuan and see where he is.”
Xia Xing was montarily startled but quickly nodded gently, “Okay.”
After speaking, she got up, walked to the coffee table, and dialed her son’s number.
The phone rang for a few seconds before it was quickly answered, “Hello?”
“Yuanyuan, where are you?”
Hearing his mother’s voice, Li Yuan glanced at Huo Yishan while driving, “I’m almost there.”
“You’re there? Where?”
“The Presidential Residence.”
“… Why did you go alone? Didn’t we agree to go together?” Xia Xing frowned, wanting to ask if he went to find Yishan, but with the whole family present, she couldn’t directly say it.
“No, I’m here with Yishan.”
Upon hearing this, Xia Xing was visibly shocked, but facing away from everyone, they couldn’t notice her reaction.
However, unable to restrain herself, she softly reprimanded her son for bringing Yishan to the Presidential Residence, “Yuanyuan, how could you…”
She didn’t an to underestimate Yishan, but the Presidential Residence was unlike any other place.
Yet, before she could finish speaking, Li Yuan interrupted her, “Mom, you’d better hurry, or you’ll be late.”
Without waiting for Xia Xing to respond, Li Yuan hung up the call.
“What happened?”
Seeing that the call ended, the Elder Lady couldn’t help but ask.
Xia Xing, after calming herself, subtly turned her head and looked at everyone, “Yuanyuan has already gone over.”
Hearing this, so couldn’t conceal their surprise.
Especially the Elder Lady, who had specially brought Qiuting over after all.
“That child is getting more and more unruly; how could he leave the family and go alone first!” The Elder Lady, despite her reproach, couldn’t help but look at Ruan Qiuting.
She appeared despondent.
“Qiuting, it’s okay. When we get to the Presidential Residence, I will definitely introduce you as Yuanyuan’s fiancée there.”
Looking at the future granddaughter-in-law, the Elder Lady offered comforting words.
Upon hearing this, Ruan Qiuting lifted her head with a slight smile, “Thank you, Grandma.”
For this family gathering, the Ruan Family wasn’t qualified for an invitation; she was able to attend only as Li Yuan’s fiancée.
