The next day, as he prepared to attend the engagement banquet, Jiang Chen bought a suit and hung it on himself. Ding Yan also changed into a sexy evening gown, her impressive height and killer aura making her stand out.
Liu Family Villa, located in the western hills of Hong Kong Island, covered a vast area, resembling a grand estate. The lawn in front was larger than a football field. In the precious real estate of Hong Kong Island, possessing such a large villa showcased the status and power of the Liu Family, truly deserving of being one of Hong Kong Island's top aristocratic families.
As night fell, Jiang Chen and Ding Yan were picked up by a car sent by Lin Rumei to Liu Family Villa. The villa lit up like a resplendent palace, with prominent figures gathering at the entrance. Celebrities from Hong Kong Island came to offer their congratulations, and even some individuals who rarely made public appearances showed up this time.
Liu Jiyue's prominence at this event was partly due to the Liu Family's reputation and partly because he had recently developed a new medicine called Divine Medicine, gaining significant acclaim. For such a medical genius, people were eager to show their respect.
"Hey, isn't that the big star Chen Linlin from Hong Kong Island? She looks like she’s my age but appears twenty years younger. She's truly stunning," exclaimed a relative of the bride upon seeing a lady in a white evening gown.
Since the bride was from the mainland, these relatives were likely from there as well. It was normal for them to be excited upon seeing a celebrity they had only seen on television before.
"Mind your manners! You can't embarrass our Li Xiyun tonight! It's just a star; it's not that big of a deal. Many celebrities will be here tonight. If you get this excited over one person, it’ll make us look inexperienced," scolded the bride's mother with a frown.
The bride's name was Li Xiyun, hailing from a county in An Province. Her relatives nodded in agreement; they had been curiously looking around but now all composed themselves, feigning disinterest.
Jiang Chen found it amusing how the bride's relatives were so concerned about appearances that they couldn't even smile. They walked stiffly like those high-society figures from Hong Kong Island, but ended up mimicking them awkwardly.
Liu Jiyue waited at the entrance and stepped forward when he saw Li Xiyun arrive. She smiled and linked her arm with his as they gracefully entered the villa together.
Li Xiyun had already been made up by a professional makeup artist in the afternoon and donned an evening gown worth millions along with exquisite jewelry, making her look elegant and stunning.
As the main characters of the evening, Liu Jiyue and Li Xiyun immediately drew attention upon their arrival. However, there were also some discordant voices that looked down on Li Xiyun’s background.
"Jiyue, is this your fiancée?" Suddenly, a woman in a blue evening gown with striking features blocked Liu Jiyue's path and said with a smirk.
Seeing her, Liu Jiyue's expression darkened. "Zhao Xinrong, what do you want?"
"I don't think she's much prettier than me," Zhao Xinrong scoffed as she scrutinized Li Xiyun and then glanced at her group of relatives—including Jiang Chen—showing no attempt to hide her disdain.
"Jiyue, your taste is getting worse. Just look at your fiancée’s relatives; they seem like country bumpkins coming to town. Even though they're dressed up, ordinary people remain ordinary no matter how fine their clothes are; they lack nobility. You're truly embarrassing your Liu Family," Zhao Xinrong's tone was sharp and biting, showing no regard for Li Xiyun's family in front of everyone.
