"Mom!"

Xu Yunxiao sulkily ignored her.

Seeing this, Li Cuilan also got irritated and glancing at Qin Feng, said, "You don't need to come with us to Wanfu Building. Having you work there as a waiter will shame us!"

"That won't do!"

Xu Yunxiao immediately objected.

Lately, whenever attending family activities, she found that she couldn't be without Qin Feng by her side; his presence somehow made her feel inexplicably more at ease.

Li Cuilan saw that Xu Yunxiao was actually defending Qin Feng, thinking to herself that this wasn't a good sign. If Xu Yunxiao was really deceived by Qin Feng's sweet talk, it would be a total disaster. She must prioritize arranging a blind date for her...

In the evening.

Xu Yunxiao and her family arrived at the banquet hall on the eighth floor of Wanfu Building.

At the entrance of the banquet hall, there were two glittering golden characters displayed. One was "Celebration," signifying the celebration banquet, and the other was "Xu," meaning the banquet hall was booked by the Xu family.

Many guests invited by grandma had already arrived at the entrance.

Lin Xue'er and Su Ruolan, representing their families, were also present. They greeted Xu Yunxiao and Qin Feng at the entrance.

Qin Feng just nodded and smiled.

Seeing his reaction, Lin Xue'er expressed her dissatisfaction: "What, pretending not to recognize us? Even if you pretend not to know me, you can't fail to recognize Sister Ruolan, right? You are..."

She didn't finish her sentence.

Qin Feng's heart lurched, and he hurriedly stepped forward to cover her mouth, preventing her from continuing.

But because he was in a rush.

One hand covered her mouth, while the other accidentally pressed against her chest.

Xu Yunxiao saw this and glared at him: "What are you doing!"

"Wife, I didn't do it on purpose."

Qin Feng smiled bitterly.

With so many people around, Lin Xue'er, having her chest assaulted, was also red-faced with anger. She glared at Qin Feng and said, "Wait until Sister Yunxiao deals with you tonight, hmph! — Sister Yunxiao, make him sleep on the floor tonight, and see if he dares to be such a hooligan again!"

"..."

Xu Yunxiao's cheeks reddened with embarrassment.

Qin Feng had been sleeping on the floor all along.

They entered the banquet hall.

Inside, many people had already gathered, including Zhao Yu, Duke, and many other well-known figures from Lake City, even more than those who attended grandma's birthday banquet.

Evidently.

People were paying more and more attention to the Xu family.

The reason was only one, because of the Xu family's collaboration with Haohan Company, which was getting closer and tighter, and they were even able to book a banquet at Wanfu Building. Love this story? Show support at *.

Even for the Zhao Family and Duke, it wasn't easy to book various banquets at Wanfu Building.

"Eh? Why haven't grandma and the others arrived yet?"

Xu Yunxiao looked around in confusion.

Dozens of tables of guests were all present and chatting away, but there was no sign of grandma and the others; only their family had arrived.

"Uh-oh!"

Qin Feng slapped his thigh as he suddenly remembered that he had left Xu Yaxin hanging.

He quickly called Jiang Yuexin.

Inside the Xu Mansion, in the main hall.

Everyone was silent, their faces showing unease.

Grandma was getting restless, pacing back and forth with the support of her dragon-head cane.

She had been waiting all day for good news from Xu Yaxin.

But.

A day had passed, and Xu Yaxin was still at Haohan Company, without even a glimpse of Jiang Yuexin's shadow.

This had led them to seriously doubt whether they had been fooled.

Xu Changjian came in from outside, looking downcast: "Grandma, I just called Yaxin. Her response was the same. She said Jiang Yuexin told her to wait another five minutes..."

"Five minutes, five minutes. We've waited a hundred of those five minutes. We must have been cheated!"

Someone voiced their frustration.

Grandma's face was also filled with sorrow, at a loss for words.

Also, Young Master Zhao from the Zhao Family called, asking if they all had arrived already, or if there had been some mistake with the time?

Xu Changjian continued with a bitter face.

It was mortifying for the hosts to be absent when all the guests had already arrived at what was supposed to be a successful celebration banquet.

"Call Yaxin again!"

Grandma said, frustrated.

Haohan Company.

Reception hall.

Xu Yaxin, who had been waiting for an entire day, paced back and forth anxiously, unable to calm down, feeling more and more like she'd been played.

Otherwise, why hadn't Jiang Yuexin returned yet at this point?

Her whole family was waiting for the good news.

And the banquet was all set up for the celebration.

If the endorsement deal fell through, they'd be totally humiliated!

The receptionist was tidying things up, and Xu Yaxin hurried over, "Hello, will Sister Jiang be back?"

Although she was older than Jiang Yuexin, their social standing was worlds apart, which is why she addressed her as "Sister Jiang."

"She said she would be back, didn't she? Please wait a moment, she will return," the receptionist said with a smile. "Shall I get you another glass of water?"

"No need..."

Xu Yaxin said, depressed.

Just the mention of water made her legs clench; she needed to use the restroom.

She hadn't eaten all day and had been drinking water non-stop, guzzling two jugs of purified water.

Just as she was about to head to the restroom,

at that moment, she finally saw Jiang Yuexin walking through the front door. She was so anxious that she forgot all about the restroom and hurried over to Jiang Yuexin, "Sister Jiang, you've finally returned..."

"I'm really sorry to have kept you waiting, I was busy with outside affairs,"

Jiang Yuexin replied with a smile.

"It's okay, it's okay, Sister Jiang's matters are more important," Xu Yaxin hurriedly said, "About the endorsement contract..."

"Don't worry, my word is my bond, and I've already talked to Mr. Shen, you can be the endorser,"

Jiang Yuexin smiled.

Hearing these words, the stone that had been weighing on Xu Yaxin's heart finally fell.

She was so moved she almost cried.

The entire day's wait had not been in vain!

"It's too late now, so here's what we'll do: we'll prepare the contract and personally deliver it to you, our boss is also highly valuing this cooperation,"

Jiang Yuexin said with a smile.

"Great, great, I really appreciate it, Sister Jiang."

Xu Yaxin said, excited.

Exiting Haohan Company, Xu Changjian called again just in time. Xu Yaxin excitedly recounted the recent events and then hurriedly held herself as she looked for a restroom.

In her urgency, she had gotten her pants wet...

Xu Mansion.

Upon hearing the news, everyone felt like they'd gone from hell straight to heaven, almost hugging and kissing each other in their excitement.

Grandma let out a long sigh of relief, triumphant, "I told you all along; Yaxin is capable. I told you there's no need to worry, and now look, I was right! Nothing to worry about!"

"Grandma truly has a golden mouth and jade words!"

"Yes! Grandma is so composed, we should all learn from her."

"..."

Everyone showered her with excited flattery.

Grandma couldn't stop smiling, leaning on her dragon-headed cane, full of pride and vigor, gesturing with a sweep of her hand, "Let's go, to the celebration banquet!"

...

A short while later.

Led by Grandma, the Xu family made their way to the banquet hall on the eighth floor.

Seeing the gleaming gold character "Celebrate" and "Xu" at the entrance, they were filled with pride and said, smiling, "It seems that our second cooperation with Haohan Company has elevated the Xu family's status even higher. Wanfu Building even had welcome characters specially made for us!"

"It's all thanks to Grandma."

"..."
