"Everyone, please take a seat as you please. I won't be arranging specific seating," Guo Xuyang said from the front of the hall.
This banquet was not held in private suites but in the grand hall on the second floor.
As they didn't know how many people would attend, six tables were prepared. Judging by the current turnout, this was more than enough.
Guo Yiyu and Guo Yixiang were seated at one table.
Wu Youzhi, Pi Xiaoqian, and others were seated at another.
Xiao Yun, Xu Liping, and others were seated at a table.
Xin Dali, Xu Dahai, and others were seated at a table.
Upon seeing his elder brother arrive, Xin Rui tried to hide behind Xia Li's back, but she couldn't escape Xin Dali's gaze.
"Captain Xin, what are you looking at so intently?" Xu Dahai asked.
"Nothing, little Rui is here too."
"You mean your sister Xin Rui? I don't see her."
"The table with more girls."
Xu Dahai hadn't looked closely before, but now, upon a second glance, he noticed that Jiang Wuxi had also arrived.
He gave her a subtle nod.
Jiang Wuxi was surprised to see Xu Dahai there and quickly returned the nod.
At this moment, Wang Yu also spotted Xu Dahai and whispered to Jiang Wuxi, "I think I've seen this person before."
"Oh? Where? When?"
"I can't quite recall. I think I saw him when I was out shopping with Xu Lifan. Xu Lifan seemed to respect him a lot, calling him 'Uncle' or something."
"Really? Is he the second-generation rich you were talking about?"
"Yes."
Jiang Wuxi hadn't expected Xu Dahai to be Xu Lifan's uncle. This meant Xu Dahai's family background was even more formidable.
Yet, she clearly remembered what Xu Dahai had said in the car previously: anything less than a million yuan was pocket change.
It was true that birds of a feather flock together.
Now, it seemed that all of Guo Xuyang's friends were either wealthy or influential.
"Xiao Yu, didn't you want to be taken care of? How about this one?" Jiang Wuxi tilted her chin towards Xu Dahai.
"He looks energetic, just a bit older."
"Are you trying to find a rich husband or looking to be kept?"
"If I could find a rich husband, who would want to be kept?"
"That makes sense. But I don't think you can win that one over."
"Why not?"
"He's too proud. Men like him are diamond bachelors; they've met at least eighty, if not a hundred, women."
"Tsk, I wasn't planning on becoming his woman anyway." Although Wang Yu said this, she couldn't help but feel a little curious.
If she were to become this man's girlfriend, Xu Lifan would be insignificant, wouldn't he have to call her Auntie?
She couldn't help but chuckle at the thought.
"What are you thinking about?" Jiang Wuxi nudged her and asked.
"Nothing, nothing," Wang Yu quickly replied as she noticed people around them looking at her.
She didn't realize she had already caught someone's eye.
When Wang Yu entered, she had followed behind Xu Liping. Pi Xiaoqian had seen Wu Youzhi greeting Xu Liping.
Pi Xiaoqian had met Xu Liping more than once and naturally knew about her relationship with Wu Youzhi.
To Wu Youzhi, Xu Liping was a golden canary he kept.
However, thanks to Guo Xuyang's favor, she was now capable of managing things independently in Shanghai.
Pi Xiaoqian wasn't interested in women like her. His interest lay in the two young beauties trailing behind Xu Liping.
These two girls were beautiful in their own ways.
One was a bit naive and shy.
The other was spirited and mischievous, comparable to Li Minxi.
He didn't know the relationship between these two girls and Guo Xuyang, but he knew there must be one.
