As these people discussed, more and more people noticed Liu Shiqi who was eating a lot and Lin Xiao who kept helping Liu Shiqi pick up the food, so they came closer one after another.
So many guests gathered in a circle, looking at Lin Xiao and Liu Shiqi from a distance, and sneered from time to time. It was like visiting animals in a zoo!
Lin Xiao had already noticed the movement around him, but he didn't take it to heart.
However, Liu Shiqi's eating movements gradually slowed down.
"Brother, am I in trouble again?"
Liu Shiqi bit her chopsticks and asked timidly.
Lin Xiao shook his head and said with a smile: "No, and why do you say again? You have never caused me any trouble."
"But those people are all staring at us..."
Liu Shiqi carefully glanced at the guests watching, her expression full of timidity.
Lin Xiao frowned and turned to look at the group of onlookers, but before he could speak, a middle-aged man squeezed out of the crowd with a female companion with a sexy makeup and a hot figure.
After seeing clearly the appearance of this middle-aged man, the other guests all gave way to him.
Who is this person? He is an honored guest from the Chen family in southern Beijing, Chen Jiayao, the third son of Mr. Chen Wei.
That old man Chen Wei was a powerful figure in the army and had a very high status. After he retired, no one in the south of Beijing dared to mess with him.
Even a big shot in the government would be honored to pay a visit to the Chen family.
As a member of the Chen family and the youngest son of Mr. Chen Wei, Chen Jiayao must be a distinguished guest!
According to Huang Haijie's information, Lin Xiao naturally knew about Chen Jiayao's existence.
Chen Jiayao is different from his eldest brother Chen Jiahui. He is idle all day long and still eats, drinks and has fun when he is middle-aged.
However, Lin Xiao did not know the woman next to him and had never seen her before.
Lin Xiao was not surprised at all that Chen Jiayao would come to the banquet.
Tonight's banquet is the highest-end banquet in the entire southern Jingnan. The business tycoons and government officials in southern Jingnan are all here to attend.
Zhao Guangwei, who is the head of the Jingnan Yamen, is here, and it is natural that Chen Jiayao from the Chen family is here.
Only a few high-ranking people did not come because of their inconvenient status.
Chen Jiayao and his female companion had just squeezed out of the crowd. When they saw Lin Xiao for the first time, they burst out laughing with a mocking meaning.
"I thought it was who it was, but it turned out to be you! Lin Xiao, you brought your little girlfriend to such a high-end banquet just to eat and drink? You are really a typical nouveau riche!"
The word "nouveau riche" made Liu Shiqi feel very harsh.
Lin Xiao didn't take it seriously, because he already knew what the upper-class families in southern Beijing thought of him.
Lin Xiao established the Lin Group, successfully suppressed the Yilin Group and forced the Yilin Group to go bankrupt and disband, and became one of the largest conglomerates in southern Beijing.
Having strong financial resources does not mean that Lin Xiao is a member of the upper class.
In the eyes of those people from big families, Lin Xiao was a nouveau riche who had nothing but no foundation. He was exactly the target of their ridicule and hostility!
What's more, the relationship between Lin Xiao and the Chen family was not good to begin with.
Previously, Chen Wei invited Lin Xiao to dinner and was rejected, which would definitely make the Chen family feel unhappy.
It is reasonable for Chen Jiayao to taunt him whenever they meet.
"I am a nouveau riche, but you, a big shot in the Chen family, may not be better than me, a nouveau riche."
