Due to the status of the Situ Family in the Capital City, today’s birthday banquet naturally attracted many powerful and famous individuals.
All of the major families, governnt officials, business leaders, and military figures from various levels throughout the Capital City were in attendance, ready to wish the Situ family patriarch a happy birthday.
It could be said that today the Situ Family was definitely the gathering place for those at the top of the Huaxia hierarchy, as well as celebrities from all walks of life, making it extrely grand.
In the suburbs of the Capital City, there stood a large mansion filled with ancient Huaxia-style architecture, spreading over hundreds of acres with pavilions, terraces, red bricks, and green tiles—all traditional structures. This was where the Situ Family resided.
This was the Situ Family’s ancestral ho, which had weathered hundreds of years. Normally, it housed the direct mbers of the Situ family and served as the family’s stronghold. Today’s birthday celebration was being held here.
Early in the morning, a steady stream of cars arrived outside the Situ Family’s residence, filling up the parking area completely. A collection of luxurious cars gathered here, with rcedes-Benz considered the most modest, proving that today’s guests were all wealthy and powerful individuals.
Shortly after, Ye Luo arrived at the Situ Family’s residence in that Audi, led directly into the premises by that man.
Passing through a long corridor, a huge open-air courtyard appeared before their eyes, the entire courtyard adorned with the character for "longevity" and filled with tables. At the very end, there was a grand hall with a giant red character for "longevity" attached in the center.
At this ti, the entire Situ Family’s residence was bustling with people: direct and collateral mbers of the family, guests who had co to offer congratulations, and groups of Situ Family guards.
"Ye Luo, you’re here!"
As soon as Ye Luo arrived, he saw Situ Luoyun approaching him slowly.
Today, Situ Luoyun was dressed in a red cheongsam, her hair neatly pinned up, her face sporting a delicate and elegant makeup look, exuding an aura of nobility and grace. Her tight-fitting cheongsam accentuated her sultry figure, and her lips bore a slight smile that carried a charming allure, drawing the eyes of many.
"Miss Situ, you do look beautiful today," Ye Luo said with a smile to Situ Luoyun.
"Do I? You really have a way with words," Situ Luoyun replied with a smile, then said, "I still have to busy myself with the banquet so I won’t be able to keep you company. You can take a seat here, and later on, I’ll introduce you to my grandfather."
"That’s alright, go ahead with your tasks; don’t mind ," Ye Luo said casually.
Afterward, Situ Luoyun left, and Ye Luo casually found a place to sit down, his gaze sweeping around the surroundings.
As ti passed, more and more guests entered the Situ Family’s residence, including a great number of young noblen.
Soon, a lively chatter arose, and the previously encountered young master of the Leng Family, Leng Pengyu, his brother Han Li, along with a group of others, appeared at the event.
"Why is that kid here?"
Upon seeing Ye Luo, a scion in Leng Pengyu’s company underwent a change in expression.
Suddenly, both Leng Pengyu and Han Li turned their gazes toward Ye Luo, looking displeased to see him there.
"How can this guy show up at the Situ Family’s birthday banquet? It’s truly strange," murmured the group of young nobles, peering at Ye Luo.
"What are you all standing around for?"
Just then, another voice rang out, and a young man in a suit approached. It was none other than Jiang Feiyun, the young master of the Jiang Family who had previous grievances with Ye Luo in Zhonghai.
"Jiang Bro, you’ve co too."
Upon seeing Jiang Feiyun, Leng Pengyu’s deanor returned to normal, and he addressed Jiang Feiyun, "I’ve heard that you’ve been pursuing a policewoman. How is that going?"
"With Jiang Shao’s status and capabilities, it wouldn’t be anything difficult for him to win the heart of a police flower, like catching sothing in his own palm."
The group of young masters flattered and said.
However, what they didn’t expect was that Jiang Feiyun’s face showed no happiness, but instead turned rather gloomy as he coldly said, "Don’t ntion it, everything was spoiled by a bastard."
"Who has the guts to spoil Brother Jiang’s good fortune?" Leng Pengyu asked with a slight smile.
"That bastard, I’ll make him pay sooner or later," Jiang Feiyun coldly snorted, his eyes shifting suddenly and becoming sharp.
In an instant, a cold aura spread from Jiang Feiyun as he walked straight towards a particular spot. That spot was precisely where Ye Luo was.
As they watched Jiang Feiyun walk towards Ye Luo, Leng Pengyu and the others showed a stunned expression, curious as to why Jiang Feiyun would walk over to Ye Luo. Could it be that they knew each other?
"Kid, what are you doing here?"
Jiang Feiyun approached Ye Luo, glaring at him coldly, his eyes flashing with a chilling light.
"If you can be here, why can’t I be here?" Ye Luo retorted, sweeping his gaze over Jiang Feiyun.
"Is the Situ Family’s event sowhere you should be?" Jiang Feiyun said with disdain.
"What’s going on, Jiang Shao?"
A young man erged from the Situ Family’s ranks, wearing expensive clothing and a smile, and walked up to Jiang Feiyun.
"Situ Xing, your timing is perfect. Is this guy soone your Situ Family invited?" Jiang Feiyun asked, pointing at Ye Luo.
Situ Xing glanced at Ye Luo and then asked, "Which family are you from, sir? You do seem a bit unfamiliar."
"I’m not from Capital City," Ye Luo said lightly.
"Oh, is that so? Then please kindly show your invitation," Situ Xing pressed.
"Invitation? What’s that? I don’t have one," Ye Luo shook his head.
"Hahaha, kid, you’re here to attend the Situ Family’s event, and you don’t even know what an invitation is. It looks like you weren’t invited by the Situ Family at all. I suspect you’ve sneaked in on your own. Tell us, what is it that you’re really after?"
Jiang Feiyun said, scoffing at Ye Luo.
Situ Xing’s expression also hardened, and he said in a stern voice, "Sir, every guest who has co here to the Situ Family today has an invitation. If you don’t have one, I’m afraid that’s a problem. Guards!"
As soon as Situ Xing called out, several Situ Family guards quickly approached.
"I was invited by Situ Luoyun," Ye Luo frowned and spoke out.
"Kid, you really do talk big, don’t you? Situ Luoyun is the Situ Family’s young lady; how could soone like you know her, much less be invited to the old Situ’s birthday banquet? You’re a joke," Jiang Feiyun huffed, looking unimpressed.
"So this guy wasn’t invited by the Situ Family but sneaked in on his own. No wonder. I was thinking how could the esteed Situ Family invite such a person to the old Situ’s birthday banquet."
At this mont, Leng Pengyu and his group stepped forward. Several young nobles took the opportunity to mock Ye Luo while Leng Pengyu watched him with eyes flickering with a cold gleam.
