Chapter 818: Little Fool
Everyone’s eyes began to focus on Chu Mindan and Gong Chenye.
Chu indifferently greeted Gong Chenye politely, “” I didn’t expect Young Master Ye to really come. It’s such an honor to have you here. ”
Gong Chenye nodded slightly with an indifferent expression. “”You’re welcome.”
Most of the dignitaries from Xia City knew what the Gong family was doing. Even though they had cleared their name a lot over the years, their private roots were still black and rotten.
Therefore, the big families with real backgrounds and confidence were not willing to come into contact with the Gong family.
The Gong family was powerful, so they didn’t have to curry favor with those aristocratic families.
The two sides could be said to have minded their own business and had lived in peace for many years.
Now, Gong Chenye had suddenly appeared at the banquet organized by the Chu family. The signal he had sent was very intriguing.
The Gong family had officially stepped into the circle of nobles in Xia City.
Or, the Chu family had started to cooperate with the Gong family.
After all, the Chu family had a very particular time to hold this banquet.
It was right after Old Master Chu’s critical condition was announced.
Everyone knew that it was all thanks to Old Master Chu that the Chu Clan had its current power.
Even though he had abdicated for many years, he was still the one in charge of the Chu Clan.
His prestige was something that no one in the Chu Clan had.
The Chu family held a banquet at this time and invited almost all the noble families in Xia City. It was very likely that they wanted to release a signal that the Chu family wanted to appoint Young Master Chu as the next head of the family.
In short, there was a lot of meaning behind today’s banquet. The people present were also secretly surging.
Gong Chenye wasn’t familiar with Chu Manran. One was slick and slick, while the other was cold and arrogant. They could still exchange a few words.
Just as Chu Lengdan was racking his brain for the fourth sentence, Xie Xize arrived.
“I heard that you’re getting engaged. Have you chosen a date?”
Xie Xize’s appearance had saved Chu Lengdan.
“I didn’t expect Fifth Master and Young Master Ye to know each other too?” he said happily.
“I’m not familiar with him!”
“I’m not familiar with him!”
Chu Mindan was a particularly astute person. Naturally, he could sense the tension between the two of them at the first moment.
He laughed awkwardly. ” Then you two can continue chatting. I’ll go over there and greet the others. ”
After saying that, Chu Lengdan quickly escaped from the battle.
Gong Chenye didn’t want to talk to Xie Xize. There were people everywhere at the banquet today. Everyone was paying attention to his every move, and Xie Xize was also the center of attention. If the two of them stood together, it would be too eye-catching.
Gong Chenye glanced at Xie Xize and turned to leave.
Xie Xize didn’t stop her.
Chu Qingyan had been watching from a distance. After Gong Chenye left, she walked over and mocked, “” Didn’t you want to look for him? He didn’t even shake you off. Xie Xize, your face was stepped on by someone like this. How can you still tolerate it? ”
Xie Xize looked at him indifferently as if he was looking at a little fool.
” I really think that your grandfather is not old anymore. His eyes are not working well and his brain is muddled. ”
” What? ” Chu Qingyan didn’t react in time. ” What? ”
” That’s why I chose you as the heir. ”
Xie Xize left after saying that.
Chu Qingyan snapped out of her daze and cursed before chasing after him. “”Xie Xize, stop right there. Don’t think that you can scold me so casually just because you’re a few years older than me.”
