The banquet started on time, and it was destined to be a very pleasant banquet. As Liu Shixuan is now the quasi-head of the Liu family, the guests he can invite are basically his best friends, even if they are
Ordinary relationships are basically impossible to appear here.
Moreover, most of these people knew each other, and everyone was talking and laughing. It was considered that they took the opportunity of this banquet to chat, and at least to build a little more friendship.
As the protagonist of this banquet, Liu Shishi appeared in the banquet hall at the last moment.
When looking at Liu Shishi who seemed to have completely changed her appearance, even Zhong Hao, who had already met Liu Shishi, couldn't help but have a look of surprise in his eyes.
When Zhong Hao saw Liu Shishi at the airport, she was a girl dressed very ordinary and simple, very casual.
At this moment, Liu Shishi seemed to be like a princess. Her appearance seemed to have an invisible aura, attracting everyone's attention.
The noble white evening dress, the slightly rolled up hair, and the dotted diamond ornaments are particularly charming, and the little face that has been slightly whitewashed is even more thrilling and beautiful.
Especially Liu Shishi's temperament seems to have changed a lot accordingly.
Her words and smiles were filled with a woman's reserve and softness, as if she were a lady from an ancient prince's family, and her bright and beautiful eyes seemed to be attentive, becoming more soulful.
At this moment, everything about Liu Shishi can definitely be described as almost perfect, whether it is appearance, temperament or everything about her.
At this moment, she is the real princess, the real princess of the Liu family.
As the daughter of the largest family in China, Liu Shishi indeed has the qualifications and strength.
But behind this near-perfection, Zhong Hao saw something deeper.
I don't know why, but looking at Liu Shishi's appearance at this moment, Zhong Hao felt an extremely unreal feeling in his heart. In comparison, the Liu Shishi he saw at the airport made him feel a bit more real.
Of course, these were just some thoughts in Zhong Hao's mind, and Zhong Hao didn't think too much about it.
To him, no matter how perfect Liu Shishi is, her identity is just Liu Shixuan's daughter.
He doesn't have any thoughts about Liu Shishi, because there is a woman beside him who is by no means inferior to Liu Shishi, and if he compares it with Zhong Hao, he prefers the gentle Ye Junyan.
Liu Shishi's personality is more suitable for being a friend or a confidante, but she is not the most ideal type of wife in Zhong Hao's mind.
Ye Junyan looked at Liu Shishi in amazement. Ye Junyan was also a little surprised by what Liu Shishi showed.
She didn't expect Liu Shixuan's daughter to be so outstanding, but she was just surprised. Liu Shishi's excellence did not make her feel any pressure at all.
As a woman, and also a successful woman, Ye Junyan is still very confident in herself.
The appearance of Liu Shishi made many people present brighten their eyes. The entire banquet had just begun, and the atmosphere had already reached a climax.
The ladies who came with him all went to Liu Shishi's place. They were talking about something unknown around Liu Shishi, and everyone's eyes were more or less focused on Liu Shishi.
Therefore, Liu Shishi's appearance seemed to directly attract everyone's attention like a spotlight.
Seeing this scene, Zhong Hao's heart moved, and he had already thought of something.
Most of the guests invited by Liu Shixuan this time were not closely related to Liu Shixuan, and the children of these guests were all about the same age as Liu Shishi.
Of course, this was just a thought in Zhong Hao's mind. Zhong Hao didn't think much about this kind of thing.
The banquet was going on in a happy atmosphere. Liu Shixuan and his wife personally led Liu Shishi to greet everyone and formally introduced his daughter to everyone.
According to Liu Shixuan's intention, Liu Shishi came back this time to help him manage the Liu family's property. Most of the guests present this time were related to the Liu family, so this introduction was naturally indispensable.
And what Liu Shishi showed at this moment was completely the temperament of a lady.
Her smile makes people feel like a spring breeze, and her words and deeds are generous and decent, as if she was born in heaven.
After everyone was introduced, Liu Shixuan and his wife took Liu Shishi and walked towards Zhong Hao and Ye Junyan.
Liu Shixuan placed Zhong Hao last, not because he underestimated Zhong Hao's identity, but on the contrary, he introduced Zhong Hao as his most important friend.
"Shishi, this is Mr. Ye Junyan's girlfriend, Miss Ye." Zhong Hao naturally didn't need any introduction. After he got closer, Liu Shixuan introduced Ye Junyan himself.
"Hello, Miss Ye."
Liu Shishi extended her hand to Ye Junyan very generously, and when she looked at Ye Junyan's beautiful eyes, there was a bit of strange color in her eyes.
Because no matter in terms of appearance, temperament, figure, etc., Ye Junyan seems not to be inferior to her Liu Shishi.
"Hello, Miss Liu."
Ye Junyan also extended her hand and showed a rare smile.
After being together with Zhong Hao, she now has more and more smiles on her face. Especially when she is at home and with Zhong Hao, she is no longer the iceberg goddess she was before.
Already.
Of course, another point is that Liu Shixuan is now Zhong Hao's most effective partner, and Ye Junyan naturally wants to help Zhong Hao build a good relationship with the Liu family.
On the side, Hua Xiuqing couldn't stand it. She smiled and said: "You two are too polite, Shishi. Jun Yan is a few months older than you. From now on, just call me sister."
.β
Zhong Hao and Liu Shixuan now have a close cooperative relationship, which can be called an absolute honeymoon period. Under such circumstances, the titles between Liu Shishi and Ye Junyan are too polite.
However, this is the first official meeting after all, and some things still need to be guided by the intermediary.
Liu Shixuan looked on with a smile. Naturally, he wholeheartedly approved of his wife's move.
Listening to what her mother said, Liu Shishi was suddenly stunned.
She knew that the relationship between Zhong Hao and her father was very good, but there were some things that Liu Shixuan did not tell her, so she had no idea that the current relationship between Zhong Hao and Liu Shixuan was already very close.
But at this moment, from her mother's words, she saw something different.
Her intuition told her that the relationship between Zhong Hao and her father was definitely more than what she seemed on the surface.
"OK."
Thinking about it in her heart, Liu Shishi didn't show any strange look on her face, but responded with a smile, and then said to Ye Junyan: "Miss Ye, from now on I will call you Sister Junyan.
.β
Naturally, Ye Junyan didn't have any objections to this kind of thing. After smiling slightly, she said, "Well, then I'll call you Shishi."
After Liu Shishi and Ye Junyan greeted each other, Liu Shixuan and his family also sat down, and the relationship was very harmonious.
----------------------------------------
The entire banquet lasted for nearly three hours, and the banquet ended only ten days later in the evening.
As the host, Liu Shixuan personally sent each guest off.
Of course, he only sent them to the gate of the villa. Only when he finally sent Zhong Hao and Ye Junyan away, did he directly send Zhong Hao and Ye Junyan to the car.
After all the guests had left, Liu Shixuan turned around and returned to the villa.
In the hall, the Liu family's nanny and the staff arranged by the hotel were cleaning up the mess. Liu Shixuan just gave a few simple instructions and walked directly to the second floor of the villa.
And he had just reached the second floor, with a helpless smile on his face.
Not far in front of him, Liu Shishi was leaning on the sofa in a very shapeless manner. Her beautiful white legs were resting on the coffee table in the middle. All the decorations on her body had been removed. She was originally noble.
Her hair was tied directly into a ponytail and tied behind her head.
It can be said that Liu Shishi at this moment no longer has the feeling of being a lady before. At this moment, she has perfectly restored the casualness and style that Zhong Hao saw at the airport.
Hua Xiuqing also looked helpless. Obviously, Hua Xiuqing had no way to deal with her precious daughter.
"Dad, can we hold less banquets like this in the future? It's so boring. My time is very precious..." Seeing Liu Shixuan come back, Liu Shishi said with great dissatisfaction.
Many women like to have various parties, dress up and show off their most beautiful side.
However, Liu Shishi had no interest in this kind of banquet.
She would rather use these three hours to make a project or go to the stock market to play a few votes.
And what makes her most tiring is that in order to maintain her image as the first daughter of the Liu family, she must also maintain a noble and generous image. For her who usually doesn't even want to dress up, this is almost...
A kind of torture.
Regarding Liu Shishi's complaints, Liu Shixuan did not mean to comfort him at all, but said directly with a straight face: "Don't even think about it, I can ignore you when you are abroad, but now that you have returned to China, you must restore your original self."
Identity, remember, from now on, you must attend a banquet of this size at least once a week. Also, I have arranged some etiquette courses for you. Your performance today can only be rated five points..."
Liu Shixuan said a lot directly, and also pointed out some of Liu Shishi's shortcomings during tonight's banquet.
Although Liu Shishi had received this kind of etiquette training since she was a child, she had put all these things aside since she studied abroad. Although her performance at night seemed perfect, in Liu Shixuan's eyes, it was just mediocre.
Just passable.
"Ah... Dad, you wouldn't be so cruel. If you had known I wouldn't have come back." Listening to what Liu Shixuan said, Liu Shishi was obviously shocked, "No, no, I still have to finish my studies, dad."
, I will go to the United States tomorrow..."
With that said, Liu Shishi stood up from the sofa, as if she was really planning to run away.
"Do you think you can run away now that you're back?"
Liu Shixuan had obviously expected his daughter's reaction. He smiled directly and said: "Your grandma asked you to go there to accompany her tomorrow. Also, I have already confiscated your ID. If you don't obey, I won't even think about it."
Take it back again..."
Liu Shixuan was not careless in dealing with his daughter.
He knew his daughter's character better than anyone else. Although she had an extraordinary mind and talent, she didn't put any thought into her image and dress. Her character looked more like a boy than a girl.
"ah..."
Liu Shishi felt like the earth was shattering, she screamed, and then she gave up her resistance.
She likes the feeling of being as high as the sky and letting birds fly, and she likes freedom. However, her identity has destined her to be unable to continue her previous casual life in the future.
"Okay, sit still, I have something to tell you. A girl, not even a little bit reserved..." Liu Shixuan didn't care about Liu Shishi at all, he just said a simple word and went directly to Liu Shishi's side.
Sat down.
Liu Shishi is indeed much more honest. She is a smart person. Under this situation, she knows that any resistance is meaningless.
Therefore, Liu Shishi took the initiative to ask Liu Shixuan: "Dad, do you want to tell me about Zhong Hao?"
She had been abroad and rarely came back, and all she knew was that Zhong Hao cured her grandmother's disease. However, she had no idea about the cooperation between Liu Shixuan and Zhong Hao.
Liu Shixuan had not told her about this matter before, firstly because Liu Shishi had not returned to China yet, and secondly because it would be better for Zhao as few people knew about this matter.
Liu Shishi didn't think about it that much when she was at the airport. It wasn't until the banquet just now that she noticed that the relationship between her father and Zhong Hao seemed a bit complicated.
"Um."
Liu Shixuan nodded, what he wanted to say was exactly what happened to Zhong Hao.
He briefly talked about his cooperation with Zhong Hao, and of course, there was also some general information about Zhong Hao.
Although Liu Shixuan only focused on the key points, the key points he said were all extremely detailed. After waiting for him to explain everything in about half an hour, Liu Shishi basically understood the causes and consequences.
Itβs seventy-seven or eighty-eight.
After listening to Liu Shixuan's words, Liu Shishi's eyes became more disbelieving.
She did not expect that Zhong Hao's shadow was behind her father's rise to the position of head of the family.
She originally thought that Liu Yuantai would not fight on his own and let her father seize the opportunity. But now it seems that all this was obviously caused by the appearance of Zhong Hao, and even Liu Yuantai's final outcome was because of Zhong Hao.
Hao and changed.
If it weren't for the relationship between Zhuo Caihe and Zhong Hao, and if Zhong Hao hadn't saved her grandma's life, for the sake of the family's future, her grandma might not have been really cruel enough to let Liu Yuantai be sentenced like this.
With the power of the Liu family, if Mrs. Liu wanted to save Liu Yuantai, it would be an easy task.
As long as Liu Yuantai does not fall, it will be very difficult for Liu Shixuan to take over as the head of the Liu family.
There is another basic reason for this, and that is that she, Liu Shishi, does not have any brothers.
The head of the Liu family is only passed down from male to female. This is what Mrs. Liu reiterated. Even Mrs. Liu has not said that she is the head of the Liu family. The position of the prospective head of the family is very small.
The time was set directly on Liu Lingxuan's head.
"Zhong Hao's current strength has not yet taken shape. If we wait for his strength to truly take shape, then, looking at the whole of China, I am afraid that not many people can compete with him. Therefore, Shishi, you must remember one thing, no matter what
, we all need to win Zhong Hao to our side and establish the relationship between us."
Liu Shixuan's tone was very serious. After glancing at Liu Shishi with his sharp eyes, he continued: "Our Liu family has been shrinking in China for a long time. Maybe in Zhong Hao, we can see an opportunity to highlight China...
.β
"Dad, I understand."
Liu Shishi also nodded seriously in a rare moment. Although she was relatively casual about dressing up, her thoughts were still very delicate.
Moreover, she did not think that her father's words were flattering Zhong Hao. From what Liu Shixuan said to Zhong Hao before, she, Liu Shishi, could also be sure of this.
The potential in Zhong Hao is really too great. Only people like them with truly extraordinary eyesight can see this potential clearly.
Therefore, when Liu Shixuan said these words, Liu Shishi also strongly agreed in her heart.
It was Liu Shixuan, who suddenly looked at each other with Hua Xiuqing.
A hint of regret flashed between their eyes, and this regret was because of the relationship between Zhong Hao and Ye Junyan.
If Zhong Hao didn't have Ye Junyan as his girlfriend, Liu Shixuan would definitely not mind introducing his daughter to Zhong Hao. Both Liu Shixuan and Hua Xiuqing were completely satisfied with Zhong Hao as his son-in-law candidate.
If Zhong Hao can get married to Liu Shishi, then the relationship between the two parties will almost seem to be tied together forever.
Unfortunately, Zhong Hao already has a girlfriend, and he also loves Ye Junyan very much. This leaves Liu Shixuan and Hua Xiu with nothing but regret.
