The next day was the Su Family's banquet.
The Xu Family had prepared early with carefully selected gifts, and the whole family was on the move.
In the car, the Xu Family's old man said to everyone, "Tonight's banquet is very important. It's related to the relationship between our family and the Su Family in the future. You'd better cheer up later!
"The last two times our family met Su Chen, we didn't have a good time. I guess the Su Family already has a grudge against us. Otherwise, it's impossible that we didn't even receive an invitation to the children's party that day.
"Also, I've been calling Su Family's Second Master these past few days. I originally wanted to pay him a visit, but he used all sorts of excuses to reject me. Tonight is our only chance to see Su Chen, so all of you better be on your guard. Don't make any more mistakes! Especially Ru Hui. "
Xu Ru Hui was suddenly called out by her grandfather. She pursed her lips and lowered her head. Her face didn't look too good.
She didn't want to come to today's banquet, but her grandfather insisted. Last time, she was humiliated in front of Young Master Su Chen and was directly ignored by him. How could she have the face to see Young Master Su Chen now?
Xu Yongsheng couldn't bear to see his daughter so wronged. He frowned and said, "Dad, I think the Su Family is getting more and more excessive! Our Xu Family is one of the three big families in the Imperial City. We've cooperated with the Su Family for many years. How can they treat us like this?
"And Ru Hui's matter. She's a famous young lady in the Imperial City and favors Su Chen a lot. Even if Su Chen doesn't like Ru Hui, he shouldn't ignore her like he did at the tender. This made Ru Hui lose face!"
"Enough! Don't you know what it means to be careful with your words and actions? I just told you to be more alert, and now you're dropping the ball. If you have this kind of attitude, you don't have to come with me to tonight's banquet. Get the hell back home and reflect on your past! "
Xu Yongsheng saw that the old man was angry and immediately shut his mouth.
The old man sighed and said, "The Su Family's strength can't be underestimated now. Their status in the Imperial City will only get higher and higher after they got the military cooperation project. So at this time, our family must not go against the Su Family!"
"It's not that serious. Dad, even if the Su Family is powerful, our Xu Family isn't weak either. The Su Family getting the military project doesn't conflict with us. Our family is in the commodity business. Even if the Su Family soars into the sky, our Xu Family's position in the capital is unshakable. "
"Idiot! Do you think it's that simple? The Su Family does business in the military, so they don't have much of a conflict of interest with us. However, this business circle is closely related. If you offend someone you shouldn't offend, everyone will come to oppose you. The foundation that our Xu Family has slowly accumulated over the years cannot be used as a wager. Water can carry a boat, but it can also sink it. We want to cling to the Su Family, not because they can bring us any substantial benefits, but because if we offend them, we will become the enemy of the entire world! "
"That's enough. With your blockheads, it will probably take you a few decades to understand these things! Just listen to my orders today. Ru Hui, don't mess around tonight. Stay by my side obediently. You've also seen what happened to that brat Xu Yuncong. That scoundrel only knows how to mess things up, so I'll let him stay at home today. If you still dare to mess around today, then go back and reflect on yourself in the ancestral hall for two months before coming out! "
Xu Ruhui could only nod gently when she heard her grandfather's harsh punishment.
The Huo Family was also preparing to attend tonight's banquet.
However, they hadn't left yet because there was still an important member who hadn't returned.
Everyone in the Huo Family was glowing today. Obviously, they had encountered great joy.
"Grandpa, is big brother really coming back today to attend the Su Family's banquet with us?"
"That's right. Your big brother called me this morning. I told him that I was going to attend the Su Family's banquet tonight. He specially asked us to wait for him!" Old Master Huo said happily.
The youngest grandson of the Huo Family, Huo Xindao, said in surprise, "This is really strange. When has big brother attended such a banquet? When he heard about the Su Family's banquet this time, he even specially greeted you and asked us to wait for him. Has big brother suddenly changed? "
"Brat, how can you talk about your big brother like that?"
"I'm telling the truth, Grandpa. Don't you know what kind of person big brother is? In order to avoid these social activities in the business world, big brother has been hiding in the military region all these years. Especially in the past few years, he has already returned to the capital, and the number of times he has been home can be counted on one hand. When there are activities during the holidays, he hides far away, every time he says that he has something to do, when has he ever attended such a banquet? It seems that big brother also attaches great importance to the Su Family's banquet this time! "
When Old Master Huo heard this, his joyful expression changed slightly.
"I'm afraid your big brother doesn't care about tonight's banquet …"
Before he could finish speaking, the door of the house was suddenly pushed open. The burly Huo Xinzhi stood at the door in a woolen outfit.
"Everyone hasn't left yet? Looks like I came back at the right time! " Huo Xinzhi was not only burly, but his voice was also very deep. It was obvious that he was a martial arts practitioner.
"Big Brother, you're back!"
"Xinzhi, you haven't been home for more than three months, right? You don't usually come home to visit. Grandpa and Grandma are old now, so they usually want to see you children. "
Huo Xinzhi was surrounded by everyone, so he was not in a hurry to exchange pleasantries. He directly said, "Grandpa, I see that everyone is ready. Why don't we set off to attend the Su Family's banquet now? Don't waste time!"
"You child, you just entered the house and haven't even had a sip of water, yet you're already in a hurry to attend tonight's banquet. Are you home to see us, or did you come back specifically for the Su Family's banquet?" Old Master Huo said unhappily.
Huo Xinzhi said directly, "Of course I came back for the Su Family's banquet. If I came back to visit Grandpa, Grandma, and the family, can't I come back whenever?"
"You!" Old Master Huo shook his head when he heard this, "You brat, you really don't show any mercy with your mouth. Fortunately, your brother is in charge of the business. If it were you, you would offend everyone with your mouth!"
"Grandpa, don't scold Big Brother. Although Big Brother doesn't say these polite words, Big Brother is now the pride of our family. His status in the military is high!"
