On the day of the banquet, Ye Qingyan and his party arrived at the venue very early. At this moment, she was standing on the third floor and could see everything in the hall clearly.

She put one hand on her chin and leaned against the railing, looking at the guests below, mingling with each other, with smiles on their faces.

How much is true and how much is false is hard to say.

Pei Hengfeng and Pei Jinyu were socializing below, and He Shuwan was also pulled by her friends to talk.

After Ye Qingyan greeted those people, he hid upstairs.

She really didn't like such an occasion, everyone seemed to have smiles on their faces.

When he smiles at you, he actually knows that your identity is similar, and his interests are paramount.

I also went to see Master just now. Master did not ask her why, but respected her decision.

Not long after, Ye Lanyao came over with Song Qingshi.

Ye Yao's eyes were smiling, "Yanyan, I knew you were hiding here."

She never liked occasions like that. If there was no one around, she would definitely hide somewhere to take a rest.

Ye Qingyan spread her hands helplessly, "The main reason is that they are too enthusiastic and I can't resist them."

Just now, after He Shuwan introduced her identity to some of her friends, there was an endless stream of people greeting her.

She really didn't want to deal with it, so she hid here.

The activities of guests are mainly on the first and second floors. Only members of the Pei family can enter on the third floor.

The guards didn't know Ye Qingyan's identity at first, and they only let her in after she found Pei Jinyu.

Ye Lanyao looked towards the first floor, "Isn't Jiang Yanjing here yet?"

"I don't know, I didn't bring my phone."

The dress she wore today had no place to put her cell phone. She just contacted Jiang Yanjing when she went out.

The other party seems to have something urgent to deal with and may be late.

When Ye Lanyao looked at Song Qing, she asked, "Do you know what's going on?"

Song Qingshi shook his head, "I don't know, he didn't tell me."

He called Yan Jing, but no one answered.

Ye Qingyan didn't say anything more, but looked at the door with a bit of expectation in his eyes.

Until the banquet started, Jiang Yanjing was not seen.

Instead, she saw Jiang Xushen and Xu Shishi. After Ye Qingyan asked about Xu Shishi's identity last time, she knew that the person in front of her was not her previous friend.

They just look a bit alike, but have completely different personalities.

When Jiang Xushen saw Ye Qingyan, he said, "Yan Jing has been delayed by something, and I don't know when it will be resolved. Let me say sorry to you."

Ye Qingyan felt a little uneasy in her heart. She nodded and did not continue to ask.

Xu Shishi kept looking at Ye Qingyan, always feeling that she was a little weird, especially when she heard that Jiang Yanjing was going to deal with something. Could it be that she missed him?

Or does she know the inside story?

Probably not. If she really knew something happened to Jiang Yanjing, she shouldn't have this look on her face.

So what was she thinking?

Xu Shishi felt a little curious about Ye Qingyan.

Ye Qingyan didn't notice the way Xu Shishi looked at her, but was thinking about Jiang Yanjing.

It reminded her of how she had concealed Jiang Yanjing's accident before.

She wanted to go find him, but she also knew the importance of today's banquet. If she left, the Pei family would definitely be unable to step down.

Judging from Jiang Xushen's appearance, Jiang Yanjing was safe for the time being.

In her heart, Ye Qingyan expected the banquet to end soon. She wanted to see what happened to Jiang Yanjing.

It didn't take long for the waiter to find Ye Qingyan and ask them to prepare.

Ye Qingyan and Ye Lanyao found He Shuwan and stood beside her quietly.

After Pei Hengfeng walked onto the stage and delivered a speech, He Shuwan walked onto the stage with Ye Qingyan and Ye Lanyao.

After everyone saw the two people's faces, their eyes were full of surprise, and the only sounds left in the hall were breathing and admiration.

After regaining consciousness, there was a lot of discussion.

"Is this the eldest daughter of the Pei family, Pei Qingyan? She's so pretty. She looks like a flower shy of the moon."

"No wonder the Pei family has been hiding it. If it were our family, they would be very well protected. They are afraid of being abducted by some brat."

"I wonder if Princess Pei has anyone she likes. It would be great if she could like me."

"It's just you, you don't look in the mirror, are you worthy? Moreover, the little princess of the Pei family has a marriage contract with the Jiang family. If the eldest young master Jiang marries a young lady of the Xu family, then the marriage will naturally fall on the second young master, Mr. Yan. "

"It seems that Mr. Yan is not here today. Don't you plan to fulfill your marriage to the Pei family?"

"And I saw the eldest young master and young lady of the Jiang family coming. Is it to express their apology?"

"I guess Mr. Yan doesn't like Pei Qingyan, so he didn't show up. However, the relationship between the two families cannot be broken, so we can only ask Young Master Jiang to come over."

"It's possible. After all, Mr. Yan has a lot of influence in country C. He has never had a woman around him. He probably won't marry the little princess of the Pei family. It's a pity."

Some people's eyes were not focused on Ye Qingyan, but were thinking about who the other woman beside He Shuwan was.

Ye Qingyan heard some of those whispers.

But I didn't take it to heart. Many things are not decided by others and need to be felt with heart.

Jiang Yanjing didn't fail to show up on purpose, but something happened that prevented him from coming.

Pei Hengfeng quickly controlled the noisy situation, his eyes were a bit gloomy, and he said seriously.

"I don't have the final say on the affairs of the Pei family and the Jiang family. Yanyan had poor health when she was a child and has been recuperating abroad. We also want to keep her for a while."

"While she was abroad, her sister had been taking care of her. In order to express our gratitude to our Pei family, her sister will be the eldest lady of our Pei family from now on."

"Our Pei family has always paid attention to meeting friends with courtesy. We are naturally grateful and repay those who are kind to us. We, the Pei family, are not soft persimmons for those who are unfavorable to us."

After Pei Hengfeng finished speaking, he glanced at everyone, with a warning and a sharp gaze.

Some people were frightened by Pei Hengfeng's tone and did not dare to say anything.

At this time, a man stepped forward.

Questioned: "I heard that Pei Qingyan did not recuperate abroad these years, but disappeared. Otherwise, the Pei family would not be able to hand over power to an outsider. I wonder if Pei Qingyan who has returned now is true? Or is he an imposter? Still Please give the Pei family an explanation to us ordinary people."

As soon as the man finished speaking, everyone immediately expressed their inner doubts.

After all, the Pei family is not a small family, and they still hold the lifeblood of country C in their hands, so some people are concerned.

But the other part of the people wanted to take the opportunity to pull Pei Hengfeng and Pei Jinyu down and replace them.

"He is right. We want an explanation and evidence. What if she is not Pei Qingyan?"

"Let a stranger be the eldest daughter of the Pei family, and let your child be wronged by others. Is the person in front of me the illegitimate daughter of the Pei family?"

"That's right, it's really unreasonable. We have reason to question that the current Pei family can't continue to protect Country C."
