Chapter 1289 Su Fengming
"Magnate's Banquet?"
Chen Xuan frowned, not understanding what kind of banquet it was.
Seeing Chen Xuan's expression, Cao Gang seemed to guess something and said, "The Magnate's Banquet held today mainly invites the three magnates of the lower three gates of the Nine Gates in the capital. However, it is hosted by my Cao family, and some other capital magnates will also be present. It is an unprecedented grand occasion."
"Could it be that Mr. Chen doesn't know about this Magnate's Banquet?"
He asked curiously.
"I really didn't know. I haven't returned to the Su family in the capital for the past few days. Moreover, as a live-in son-in-law, what qualification do I have to attend such a banquet?"
Chen Xuan shook his head gently, his expression indifferent.
"Mr. Chen, you are too modest. Today, our Cao family is the host, and we hope Mr. Chen can attend tonight's Magnate's Banquet as a special invited guest. We hope Mr. Chen will not refuse." Cao Gang said respectfully.
Chen Xuan did not care about the so-called Magnate's Banquet.
He was about to refuse, when Li Er whispered, "Young Master, it's fine to attend the Magnate's Banquet."
Chen Xuan looked at Li Er. Li Er looked serious, and then he nodded without hesitation and said, "Alright, then I'll agree to Mr. Cao!"
"It's great that Mr. Chen can attend the Magnate's Banquet!" Cao Gang was extremely excited.
Huo Guangtai rubbed his hands and said a bit embarrassed, "Mr. Cao, what about my Huo family..."
Cao Gang then remembered Huo Guangtai and said with a smile, "Mr. Huo, our Cao family also invites the Huo family to attend the Magnate's Banquet!"
Upon hearing this, Huo Guangtai was overjoyed.
The Magnate's Banquet was considered a top-tier banquet in the capital. With the Huo family's strength, they were completely unqualified to attend. Now, with Cao Gang's invitation, it was a great opportunity for the Huo family to enter such a prestigious event!
What if they could even make friends with some magnates, wouldn't the Huo family soar immediately?
"Mr. Chen, today's Magnate's Banquet will be held at Bailu Mountain Villa. I hope Mr. Chen will definitely grace us with his presence!" Cao Gang said hurriedly.
"Mr. Cao, I'll see you tonight then!" Chen Xuan smiled faintly.
Then, Chen Xuan turned and left the Cao family with Li Er.
Since he had to attend such a grand banquet tonight, Huo Guangtai had to return to the Huo family to prepare. They parted ways with Chen Xuan at the entrance and returned to the Huo family.
"Li Er, why did you ask me to attend the Magnate's Banquet? As a member of the Chen family in the capital, shouldn't I avoid being in the spotlight?" Chen Xuan frowned.
"Young Master, not many people know your identity. At most, it's those old fogeys in the capital's geomancy circles. Others don't know your identity. As for why I insisted on you attending this banquet tonight, there are other reasons."
"Because the Ge family in the capital will be attending tonight's Magnate's Banquet!"
Mentioning the Ge family, a cold and resentful look flashed in Li Er's eyes.
"The Ge family, is that the Ge family that is the mortal enemy of the Su family in the capital?" Chen Xuan asked with a frown.
"Precisely!"
"Could it be that the Chen family in the capital has some conflict with the Ge family?"
"The former Ge family in the capital was the best ally of the Chen family in the capital. The Ge family in the capital once swore to be inseparable from the Chen family in the capital. Because of this, the Chen family in the capital gave a large amount of resources to the Ge family, allowing the Ge family to rise from an ordinary magnate to one of the Nine Gates in the capital."
"However, after the Chen family in the capital had an accident, the Ge family unhesitatingly betrayed the Chen family in the capital, and even stabbed the Chen family in the back by leaking the location where the Chen family had secretly arranged for people to evacuate the capital. This also led to heavy casualties among the Chen family in the capital!"
"Therefore, I hope that Young Master can confront these people from the Ge family in the capital at the banquet!"
Chen Xuan gritted his teeth when he heard this.
Although he had not experienced that scene, he could tell from Li Er's words that the Ge family in the capital was truly despicable!
"I hope that tonight, those people from the Ge family in the capital won't bring trouble upon themselves. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite and collecting some interest first!"
Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes, a faint cold light flashing within them.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Huo Guangtai personally drove to pick up Chen Xuan. On the way, he expressed his gratitude to Chen Xuan, saying that without Chen Xuan, the Huo family would absolutely not have been qualified to attend such a Magnate's Banquet.
At the same time, in the Su family in the capital, the Vermilion Bird lineage!
Su Yunxi was applying makeup, her delicate face reflected in the vanity mirror.
"Yunxi, tonight you are representing the Su family of the capital at the Magnate's Banquet. This Magnate's Banquet is a top-tier banquet in the capital, and all the attendees are celebrities. Your father never represented the Su family of the capital at such a banquet back then. This is a moment of glory, so you must dress appropriately."
Jiang Biyun, who was beside her, was nervously fussing around Su Yunxi, more nervous than if she were attending the banquet herself.
Old Master Su downstairs also kept urging Su Yunxi.
Clearly, their entire family attached great importance to this banquet. It was understandable, as it was a Magnate's Banquet. Whoever could represent the Su family of the capital to attend it would possess supreme honor.
"All done!"
Finally, Su Yunxi put down her makeup case and slowly stood up, her slender waist revealed.
Then, she changed into a dark blue evening gown. On her fair neck, she wore a precious blue diamond necklace, worth at least tens of millions, and on her feet, she wore crystal shoes worth millions.
Although this was not Su Yunxi's most exquisite attire, Su Yunxi felt it was the most appropriate.
"Yunxi, you must pay attention to etiquette at the Magnate's Banquet. Everyone attending is a magnate from the capital, and you represent the Su family of the capital, as well as our Vermilion Bird lineage. You must not be careless!"
Old Master Su, speaking from experience, advised her earnestly.
"Grandpa, Mom, I know. Please don't worry, I'm leaving!"
Su Yunxi sighed helplessly, then turned and left.
A special car was waiting outside. Besides the driver, there was also a man and a woman.
Su Yunxi recognized the man; it was Su Chenglong. Ever since Su Chenglong was tied up by Su Tianhuang last time, he had been in self-reflection. She didn't expect him to appear here today.
Beside Su Chenglong was a woman. She was tall, with a beautiful appearance, no makeup, but exquisite features.
This woman was wearing a simple white dress.
A phoenix was embroidered on the plain dress.
The phoenix's neck was held high, very proud.
Her lustrous hair was neatly tied up, with a wooden hairpin inserted.
She looked like a celestial being, with an ethereal aura!
Beneath the hem of her skirt, her slender legs were tightly encased. This woman should be a martial artist.
"Su Yunxi, this is your cousin Su Fengming. She is also on the list of heirs for the Su family patriarch. Originally, you were supposed to attend the Magnate's Banquet, but the patriarch was not at ease. Since cousin Fengming has returned, he has asked sister Fengming and me to accompany you to the Magnate's Banquet."
Su Chenglong stood with his hands on his hips, his tone condescending. He added, "Furthermore, the patriarch said that you have lived in Jiangnan Province for so long, and you are bound to have picked up some rustic habits and don't understand the rules. Therefore, you should listen to me and cousin Fengming more."
These words implied that although Su Yunxi was representing the Su family of the capital, she was actually just a puppet, and if anything went wrong, she would be blamed?
At that moment, Su Yunxi suddenly felt that this trip to the Magnate's Banquet might not be so simple.
