Gu Xiaoai sat there and listened to their chat, but her mood was inexplicably depressed. She reached out and pressed her eyes, but her right eyelid was still beating.
The beating made her panic.
"Sister, are you okay?" Ye Jiani lowered her head and asked softly.
"It's okay." Gu Xiaoai shook her head, just hoping that this New Year's Eve dinner would pass quickly. She really... didn't like the environment here.
Two servants entered the banquet room from the outside and walked behind Manwen and Gu Xiaoai.
A servant bent down and whispered in Gu Xiaoai's ear, "Third Young Mistress, something happened over there."
Hearing this, Gu Xiaoai's eyes showed shock, but she quickly suppressed it.
"Walk."
Manwen looked at her, then stood up and walked out.
Gu Xiaoai left with Manwen, and her right eyelid beat more and more violently. This feeling made her very uncomfortable.
"Did Li Juefeng and his second brother have a fight?" Gu Xiaoai asked as soon as they left the banquet room.
These two grown men... are not so imprudent.
“Just go and see and you’ll find out.”
Manwen frowned. The main purpose of Li Juexi's banquet was to make the Li family's family and the Li family's consortium consistent. If something happened... there would be a real topic.
Now is no longer the time when Mr. Li is in charge, and it is not so easy to suppress the situation. There are too many elders and seniors who rely on their elders.
…
The servant led the two of them into the men's banquet room. As soon as they entered, Gu Xiaoai saw all kinds of men wearing various formal clothes.
They all stood in front of the table without a seat, letting the delicious food slowly cool down...
Li Juexi, Li Juesi, and Li Juefeng share a table. They are placed at the front, which means they are superior.
Li Juesi stood there alone with a livid face, Li Juexi's expression was ugly, and Li Juefeng's handsome face showed no expression.
Seeing them come in, an elder immediately greeted Manwen and said, "Young lady, you came just in time. We Chinese people say that a sister-in-law is like a mother. It's time for you to accept the second young master's temper."
…
Gu Xiaoai was shocked, Second Young Master? Li Juesi?
A bad premonition entered her head.
"Don't be angry, Uncle An, what happened?" Manwen smiled gently and generously, "Everyone, please sit down, today is a good day to watch the New Year's Eve."
The banquet room was too big, and only some people could hear Manwen's voice.
"What's better?" The elder said coldly, "The second young master just announced that he is getting married, and he is still with a young lawyer with no reputation. Mr. Li will never allow it if he is still alive!"
…
Hearing this, Gu Xiaoai's face turned pale and she raised her eyes to look at Li Juefeng. He was particularly handsome today, with clear features and sharp outlines, but his face was so cold that it seemed as if he had no warmth.
Li Juefeng's dark eyes looked at her and motioned for her to walk over.
Gu Xiaoai shook her head. She knew that soon... this topic would be brought up to her.
"this……"
A flash of shock flashed across Manwen's eyes. He never expected that Li Juesi would announce his marriage in public under such circumstances, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
"The eldest young master just made a statement that he will not allow that woman to enter the house." The elder said again, "The Li family has always been strict in choosing a daughter-in-law. Regardless of their financial background or reputation, her status must have weight in society.
, how could such nonsense be tolerated.”
…
Gu Xiaoai looked at Li Juexi, and Li Juexi also looked at her with apology in his eyes.
