The dinner officially starts at 8pm, but people can start eating at around 6pm. This time is for everyone to greet each other, talk about business, and exchange the latest news.

In order to maintain a good mental state, especially since the journey to Xinghui Manor alone takes a certain amount of time, even if one wants to demonstrate one's status and position, it is impossible to arrive on time.

Perhaps Gu Anzhi arrived at the manor so early for the sake of his younger brother Gu Yizhi.

"elder brother!"

Gu Yizi greeted his eldest brother warmly. The two brothers hadn't seen each other for a long time, but they had a good relationship.

"you lost weight."

Gu Anzhi pinched his brother's arm with both hands and frowned in dissatisfaction.

"Didn't you eat well again?"

Although Gu Anzhi knew very well that if he wanted to make it in the entertainment industry, he would have to work harder than anyone else, but he couldn't do without eating. After a long time, his body would be ruined.

"After the party, come home with me. I'll have someone find you a nutritionist and a fitness trainer, and you can keep them with you."

There are many healthy ways to stay in shape. Gu Yizi doesn't care, so it's up to him as his brother to worry about it.

"Brother...can you please stop talking about me as soon as we meet?"

Gu Yizi felt that his elder brother was like the serious Tang Monk, and his head was about to explode.

"By the way, let me introduce you, this is Miss Jiang Qingyue, my girlfriend, your future sister-in-law!"

As soon as he saw the eldest brother, Gu Yizi couldn't help but start showing off the girlfriend he had finally pursued.

However, Gu Anzhi didn't seem to think so. He looked at Jiang Qingyue calmly and had already retrieved her information in his mind.

Gu Anzhi had actually heard a little about the reasons why his brother entered the entertainment industry, but he did not expect that he was serious and wanted to marry Miss Jiang.

He remembered that this Miss Jiang should be a few years older than his brother.

"Yizhi, I told you to be careful with your words in public."

Feeling the Gu family's eldest son's rejection of her, Jiang Qingyue's expression remained unchanged, but her smile lacked some sincerity.

Gu Yizi also keenly sensed that the atmosphere was not right, and immediately said seriously, "Brother, I am serious."

He tightened his arms around Jiang Qingyue's shoulders, as if to declare that he would never let go.

"Okay, let's talk about this later. Come with me and greet the host of the banquet first."

Gu Anzhi came here this time on the orders of the head of the Gu family to find out the strength of the owner of Xinghui Manor. If he is indeed capable, he might as well make friends with him or even cooperate with him.

"Master Gu is looking for me?"

Because Gu Yizi was too excited, he came down first to greet the eldest son of the Gu family.

As the host, Shen Lisu naturally cannot just appear casually.

She was standing at the corner of the stairs on the second floor and witnessed everything that had just happened. Even if she didn't listen, Shen Lisu could guess what had happened just by looking at their expressions.

Those who look down on her in front of her, tsk, do they really think that Jiang Qingyue has no one to protect her?

As soon as Shen Lisu spoke, she attracted the attention of everyone in the banquet hall.

Under the spotlight, she slowly walked down from the second floor. The diamond jewels on her skirt sparkled brightly under the reflected light, but her appearance was not obscured by it at all.

She is elegant and dignified, graceful and luxurious, with a hint of cold majesty all over her body, as if she is a queen looking down on everyone from high above, which is both shocking and fascinating.

Everyone held their breath unconsciously, staring at Shen Lisu's figure with burning eyes.

She raised her eyes slightly and glanced around casually. Every step she took seemed to step on their hearts. She was like a master, releasing an invisible force, suppressing everyone.

"Why, Sister Qingyue welcomed Young Master Gu on my behalf. Are you unhappy about that?"

Shen Lisu's words were obviously speaking up for Jiang Qingyue. She was telling everyone that Jiang Qingyue was the one she was protecting, the one even she was willing to call sister.

Jiang Qingyue, who was originally feeling a little sad, felt warm in her heart and her smile became more sincere when she heard Shen Lisu's words of defense.

Gu Anzhi was amazed by Shen Lisu, but he did not expect that Shen Lisu would embarrass him in public and was speechless for a moment.

After witnessing his elder brother's disrespect for his beloved, Gu Yizi did not step out to smooth things over. Instead, he silently held Jiang Qingyue's hand and walked away from the battlefield, which was also a silent protest.

Jiang Qingyue was not so angry about this.

She was with Gu Yizi because she liked him as a person, but if his family was unwilling to accept her, Jiang Qingyue could let it go. Besides, she was not determined to get married.

"Ms. Shen misunderstood. I was just teaching this useless brother."

Gu Anzhi was quite clever. He changed the concept from looking down on Jiang Qingyue to teaching his younger brother a lesson, which was really hard to find fault with.

After all, an elder brother's education of his younger brother is a family matter and outsiders should not interfere.

"Well, he should be taught a lesson. For example, he should be more self-aware. I don't know how he can have the nerve to pursue my sister Qingyue."

Shen Lisu's words were implicitly suggesting that Gu Yizi was not worthy of Jiang Qingyue. Gu Anzhi could hear it, and so did Gu Yizi.

But he didn't feel that he was being ridiculed. Instead, he stood beside Jiang Qingyue with a smile and continued to coax her.

瞧着弟弟这幅不成器的恋爱脑模样,顾安之觉得自己头都大了,深呼吸一口气,还是按耐住当场揍弟弟的冲动。

"Ms. Shen, I am here to attend the dinner on behalf of the Gu family. As for my family affairs, please don't bother with me."

"That's right. I don't like to meddle in other people's business. As long as Young Master Gu doesn't choose the wrong person to educate, that's all."

The meaning is very clear. If you want to teach Gu Yizi a lesson, it’s up to you, but if you dare to play tricks on Jiang Qingyue, don’t blame her for not giving him face.

Just as Gu Anzhi was about to say something else, he was interrupted by Heath who was approaching.

"Ms. A-li, the Song family is here."

Song family?

Gu Anzhi looked in the direction Heath pointed and saw the twin brother and sister Song Bojian and Song Ci'an at a glance.

It turned out to be the Song family of Yunzhou!

In addition to being surprised, Gu Anzhi also had a new judgment about Shen Lisu.

I really didn't expect that Yunzhou would send someone here.

The appearance of Li Mingxi had already surprised all the wealthy families, but when they thought about the fact that Shen Lisu had once saved the life of Li Chengyu, the young master of the Li family, they felt it was reasonable.

But why did the Song family come here?

What Gu Anzhi was thinking was also incomprehensible to the others present.

However, it happened and it unfolded in front of everyone in a very miraculous way.

"Ali!"

Song Ci'an seemed to be born to wear red dresses. The warm and flamboyant burgundy evening gown showed her royal sister temperament to the fullest, making her look beautiful and generous.

"Sister An!"

When Shen Lisu saw Song Ci'an, she immediately walked forward quickly. Although they had only met once, they often contacted each other by mobile phone afterwards, so even though it was their second meeting, they gave each other a big hug very naturally.

"I never thought that when we met again, you would become the owner of Xinghui Manor. You really brought honor to our Huazhou!"

As soon as they met, Song Ci'an started to praise herself. That's just how she is. She will criticize if she doesn't like something, and praise if she likes something. She never plays tricks.

Song Bojian, who was standing aside, felt the gazes from all directions and smiled helplessly at Shen Lisu.

"Miss Shen, long time no see."
