"Of course, all the guests are prestigious. These guests are quite influential figures in the business world, and it wasn't easy for my uncle to invite them!"
"Oh, really? Then they're so big shots. Shihao, can you introduce them to Grandma?"
Upon hearing that they're business tycoons, Old Mrs. Chang Lan imdiately beca interested.
She was determined to lead the Qiu Family to glory, but that's easier said than done.
The Qiu Family is rely a second-rate small family. Without the support of bigwigs, making it to the top as a first-rate family is as hard as climbing to the sky.
Therefore, Old Mrs. Chang Lan was eager to connect with influential people, and upon hearing that they're coming, she naturally didn't want to miss this opportunity.
However, Xu Shihao shook his head and said, "Grandma, it's not that I don't want to help you. My uncle said that the guests he invited today are the top business tycoons from Yanbei and Hai Province."
"Even I don't have the qualification to accompany them, so I'm afraid I can't help, Grandma!"
Just at this mont, the group of people slowly approached, and the welcoming ceremony on this side was already prepared.
More than twenty elegantly dressed won lined up in two rows. They wore red cheongsams, were beautifully adorned, smiling, and appeared respectful.
Outside of these won were two rows of security guards, dressed neatly, with stern expressions, appearing very imposing.
The scene left the Qiu Family envious, especially Old Mrs. Chang Lan, who gazed at it with envy and said, "When will our Qiu Family ever receive such honor!"
"Grandma, I'm afraid that's a bit challenging."
Xu Shihao appeared modest on the surface but was actually extrely proud.
He held his head high and puffed his chest, saying, "Grandma, my uncle has already reached this level. As for , I might reach it in around ten to twenty years."
"As for the Qiu Family, I think it will be difficult even in fifty years."
Although these words were hard to hear, Old Mrs. Chang Lan couldn't refute because she knew Xu Shihao was right.
"However, if I were to beco the Qiu Family's son-in-law, I'm confident I could reduce this ti to twenty years!" Xu Shihao suddenly changed his tone and intentionally glanced at Qiu Qianyu.
Old Mrs. Chang Lan knew exactly what he ant, and Qiu Xue spoke up bluntly.
"Sister Xiaoyu, why don't you marry Brother Shihao? If Brother Shihao becos our Qiu Family's son-in-law, our Qiu Family will have hope!"
"Xiaoxue, what nonsense are you talking!"
Qiu Qianyu, both embarrassed and anxious, hurriedly reprimanded Qiu Xue.
Qiu Xue was still unconvinced. She snorted and said, "Sister Xiaoyu, you're truly blessed without knowing it. Being loved by such an excellent man as Brother Shihao is a real blessing."
"Alas, I don't have such fortune. If Brother Shihao fancied , I would've been eager to marry him long ago!"
"Xiaoxue, stop saying such nonsense! I'm a married woman!" Qiu Qianyu's cheeks flushed red, and she couldn't help but scold Qiu Xue again.
Qiu Xue sneered and continued, "Sister Xiaoyu, who is that man you married? A land-tilling farr, what happiness can he bring you? Could he ever stand here and receive such a welco in his life?"
"Exactly! Xiaoyu, just marry Shihao. As for that country bumpkin, just divorce him!"
The other mbers of the Qiu Family also persuaded Qiu Qianyu.
Seeing this opportunity, Xu Shihao wouldn't let it slip by.
He walked briskly to Qiu Qianyu, looking into her pretty face, and said with feigned affection, "Xiaoyu, marry . I promise you, at most fifteen—no, ten years! In ten years, I can give you such honor, making you one of the high-status people like those big shots!"
Just as Xu Shihao finished speaking, he heard the two rows of cheongsam-clad won and the security guards bow and salute altogether, then respectfully said, "Welco, honorable guests!"
They're here!
Seeing his uncle leading a group of distinguished guests right in front, Xu Shihao hurriedly urged the Qiu Family to leave. Given the Qiu Family's status, they were not qualified to et these bigwig-level figures, so it was best to take them away quickly to avoid offending these important people.
But at that mont, Qiushi, with sharp eyes, suddenly pointed at soone in the crowd and exclaid, "Look, isn't that Jiang Chuan?"
