The Whale in the Mountains
Chapter 56 Bringing My Wife Home
He picked up the microphone and cleared his throat.
"Everyone…"
A slightly hoarse voice echoed throughout the hall, and everyone looked towards the stage.
Having attracted everyone's attention, Jiang Zhenlin continued,
"I am Jiang Zhenlin, and I welcome all the distinguished guests!"
"The fact that you have taken time out of your busy schedules to attend today's banquet brings honor to Jiangxin Pavilion. As the manager of Jiangxin Pavilion, I would like to thank you all for your support!"
Hearing this, Qi Qingfei couldn't help but frown and muttered softly,
"Dad, what does Jiang Zhenlin mean?"
"You've been busy preparing for the banquet, but it sounds like all the credit goes to him?"
Qi Tianhu was equally puzzled, but he just said softly, "We're just working for Elder Xu!"
Qi Qingfei said impatiently, "Elder Xu, Elder Xu, it's always Elder Xu! Dad, I've noticed that old lecher is all you care about now. Is that really necessary?"
Qi Tianhu immediately stopped his daughter sternly, "Qingfei, don't talk nonsense!"
Qi Qingfei rolled her eyes and stopped talking.
At this moment, Jiang Zhenlin continued,
"Next, we will welcome the most important guest of tonight's banquet!"
A look of doubt appeared on everyone's faces.
Because there were no fewer than ten people present who believed they were the most important guests of the banquet.
What's more, with a dragon head like Qi Tianhu sitting here, they couldn't imagine who else could be more important.
But Qi Tianhu knew in his heart that this must be the important figure that Elder Xu had mentioned.
Someone asked,
"Young Master Jiang, who exactly is this important guest?"
Jiang Zhenlin smiled mysteriously and suddenly waved his hand, "Everyone, please follow me to the rooftop!"
Everyone looked at each other. Who exactly is this person?
So mysterious, putting on such a big show, and making everyone go to the rooftop to see him!
But it must be said that Jiang Zhenlin's words had piqued everyone's curiosity, and they all followed him to the rooftop.
Chen Xiao and Song Anran were naturally no exception.
However, after arriving on the rooftop, Chen Xiao was really taken aback.
This rooftop was too big and too empty.
It was as big as a football field.
Moreover, the rooftop was brightly lit, illuminating the night as if it were daytime.
However, what was curious was that the rooftop was empty. The important guest that Jiang Zhenlin mentioned was not here at all.
Someone couldn't help but ask loudly, "Young Master Jiang, where is the important guest? You didn't call us to the rooftop to make a fool of us, did you?"
More than one person had this doubt, and the noise kept rising.
Jiang Zhenlin pressed his hand down, "Everyone, please be patient. The person will be here soon, and I guarantee that everyone's trip tonight will be worthwhile!"
As soon as Jiang Zhenlin finished speaking, a rumbling sound suddenly came from above.
The rumbling sound grew louder and louder, and everyone looked up.
They saw a black helicopter growing larger and larger in their field of vision, slowly descending.
Finally, the helicopter landed on the rooftop.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
This… what a special way to make an entrance, what a grand show!
Some of the second generation who liked to play with sports cars couldn't help but feel ashamed.
They usually thought they were so awesome when they played with limited edition sports cars, but it turned out that the real bosses had started playing with airplanes!
The cabin door opened, and a young man slowly walked out of the plane.
The young man was only in his early twenties, with a head of bleached white hair, fair skin, red lips, and picturesque eyebrows.
Although he was a man, he had a melancholic and feminine aura.
Under the dazzling lights, he became the focus of everyone's attention.
He was wearing a moon-white silk Chinese suit, and his body was so thin that he looked like he could be blown away by a gust of wind, and he walked with very light steps.
He held a white handkerchief in his hand, occasionally covering his mouth and coughing lightly, looking sickly, but with a hint of aristocratic temperament.
Under everyone's gaze, his eyes were indifferent as water, but also revealed a condescending arrogance.
Some girls who liked to chase stars already had stars in their eyes, because in their eyes, this man was even more delicate and handsome than the popular young idols.
But in the eyes of most men, there was disdain.
Obviously, this man's handsome appearance and feminine temperament were what they despised.
But no matter what, this was a very unique man.
Chen Xiao didn't have any special feelings about this man, but when the man appeared, he noticed that something seemed wrong with Song Anran.
Her body seemed to be trembling uncontrollably.
He was suspicious. Could it be that Song Anran had some relationship with this man?
Or even, was this man's arrival related to Song Anran?
At this moment, Elder Xu walked up to the man and said humbly, "Welcome, Young Master!"
The effeminate man nodded slightly, then scanned the crowd with his eyes.
Finally, he slowly opened his mouth:
"I am Xiao Li. I am new to this place, and I thank you all for your support in coming to this banquet!"
The crowd didn't react much, and some were even confused.
Obviously, none of them had heard of Xiao Li's name.
But Qi Tianhu's eyes narrowed.
"Xiao Li? Could it be him?"
"Cough cough…"
A trace of imperceptible dissatisfaction flashed in the effeminate man's eyes. After coughing lightly twice, he wiped the corner of his mouth with a white handkerchief.
Then he said casually, "My father is Xiao Zhan."
His voice was not loud, but the effect of this sentence was like dropping a bomb in the crowd.
His father, Xiao Zhan!
This young man with a feminine temperament was actually the son of Xiao Tianze, the God of War of the Northern Border!
A frenzy appeared in everyone's eyes.
Who was the God of War of the Northern Border?
To put it lightly, he was an idol in the hearts of countless people!
To put it more grandly, he was a pillar of the country, a dragon among men!
Today, they were fortunate enough to attend the banquet of the son of the God of War. This was something they could brag about for three years!
Some women couldn't help but get stars in their eyes, and their legs went weak.
If they could be favored by this Young Master Xiao, it would definitely be a glorious thing for their family.
What's more, he was so handsome.
In short, as Jiang Zhenlin had said,
Their trip today was definitely worthwhile!
Seeing the reaction of the crowd, this time, a trace of satisfaction finally appeared in Xiao Li's eyes.
Then, he slowly opened his mouth again:
"Actually, I have only come to this place today for a small matter, but in order to show my sincerity, I have invited you all to witness it, and I guarantee complete confidentiality."
Someone asked, "Young Master Xiao, may I ask what brings you here? We, the elders of Jiang City, will definitely spare no effort to fully support you!"
The corner of Xiao Li's mouth curled into a faint smile:
"I have come here this time only to take my wife home!"
