Chapter 568 Banquet Level
In the Ou family mansion, wealth and power are intertwined on this brilliant and bright day, and the glory of the wealthy family gradually reaches its peak at this moment.
A grand banquet for the rich is not only a feast of delicious food and wine, but also a symbol of identity and status, demonstrating the splendor of power and wealth.
It is hung with the family's precious collections, showing the long history and outstanding achievements of the wealthy family. Within the antique walls, nobles chat and laugh, and celebrities gather.
As the birthday party got closer, more and more people gathered in the banquet hall.
The carefully selected fine wines and delicacies complement each other, and the soothing and melodious music creates an enjoyment that is like a paradise on earth.
The waiters of the Ou family were dressed in low-key and simple clothes. They moved silently among the crowd and provided attentive service to every guest.
The guests holding glasses of wine were all tall and handsome men. Even if some of them had greasy faces and fat heads and big ears, their overall demeanor could be seen from their conversation.
After all, those who were invited to attend the birthday party of the old man of the most powerful family were obviously the best in the business or official circles, and they couldn't be too bad.
The ladies and women who came with the men were all very charming, with sweet smiles on their faces.
Even if they are not accompanying men, they are like beautiful flowers, staying by the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, elegantly enjoying snacks and admiring the beautiful garden scenery outside the window.
The guests greeted each other in groups of three or five, their smiles as beautiful as flowers, their cheerful voices ringing in the ears, and they shuttled among the crowd, their eyes moving around, dazzling the eyes.
As usual, the birthday party of the old man of the Ou family will not show off the luxury of the Ou family too much. Compared with the general banquets of the Xinghuan Hotel, it is much more low-key and simple.
However, from the wine glasses to the food, from the layout to the atmosphere, everything shows nobility and taste.
From the moment the guests entered the Ou family mansion, they were immersed in the oriental cultural heritage and could not help but express awe.
But one of them had an expression that was obviously different from the other guests. He even thought that the wooden furniture was old-fashioned and regretted coming here.
That person was Bai Yixin, who had no knowledge of expensive antiques and art collections, and was very unhappy about what happened at the resort yesterday.
She was wearing a white dress with many flowers embroidered on the tulle at the arms and colorful butterflies sewn on the hem, which made it look not monotonous.
Because this set was carefully prepared by Bai Yixin in advance by a famous craftsman carefully found by Bai's mother and spent a lot of money, it is naturally very stunning.
Even Bai Yixin couldn't let go of this dress. Even if she was in a bad mood, she would wear it and come with her mother and father to congratulate the old man of the Ou family on his 70th birthday.
At this time, although Bai Yixin was wearing a beautiful dress, she was still unhappy because Wu Ziyao had not answered her call.
In addition, her eardrums were still aching, which made her even more irritable. She even had no interest in the birthday party she had been looking forward to, and she was dissatisfied with everything she saw.
Bai Yixin glanced at her phone again, which hadn't called back. She covered her ears, which still stung, and tugged at her mother's arm, complaining:
"Mother, although this place is large and grand, this birthday party doesn't look particularly luxurious.
Besides, didn't my mother say that many wealthy people were vying to come to this birthday party? She also wanted to take me to meet some more powerful people.
But after greeting those people, I didn't know what to say, especially when they started talking about something I didn't understand.
Is it really necessary for us to come a few hours early? The birthday party is supposed to be tonight, and it would be so boring if we came so early!
It turned out that Bai Yixin had followed her parents to greet some powerful people in the country.
But because this banquet was of such high quality, it was not the birthday banquet that Bai Yixin usually attended. Many of the people present had backgrounds that were not inferior to the Bai family, a medical family.
Therefore, Bai Yixin followed her parents to meet many powerful people, but she could not say a word and could only stand there silently.
Even if she wanted to show off with her stunning dress, most of the young people who could come here were young ladies and gentlemen from prominent noble families.
In particular, these noble young men and young ladies who were chosen to attend the Ou family’s birthday party are naturally the best in their families.
They are naturally the best-educated in the family, and most of them are heirs to the family or outstanding children suitable for marriage.
They wouldn't be dressed worse than Bai Yixin, and their parents had told them in advance that they knew the purpose of their visit and the main person they were going to talk to.
They corrected their attitudes and actively expanded their social relationships, unlike the birthday parties Bai Yixin had attended before.
He would not try to curry favor with Bai Yixin, who came from a medical family, nor would he engage in intrigue at the banquet because of his own powerful background.
Therefore, if Bai Yixin, the most beautiful girl present, was not there and she did not have peers to talk to, she would feel so bored and regretful.
At this moment, when Bai's mother heard Bai Yixin's words, she angrily shook off Bai Yixin's hand, with an expression that showed she was helpless with Bai Yixin, and sighed, saying:
"Keep your voice down! You were still young before, and I was afraid you wouldn't know the etiquette, so I didn't let you come.
This time you insisted on coming along and had the dress ready, but you ended up getting injured at the last minute.
When asked, you said someone beat you, but you didn't let us investigate and asked us to find a job for your cousin Jiarui.
"Ah! Now you've come here despite the pain, but you're complaining again. I don't know what to say to you, alas..."
Bai's mother said a lot of things, but in the end, because she felt sorry for Bai Yixin's injury, she raised her hand and put Bai Yixin's hand that was touching her ear into her palm and gently stroked it.
Bai Yixin used to be afraid of her parents because they were very strict and she didn't dare to talk back to them.
However, some time ago, she learned that her parents and brother actually loved her very much, so her temper grew and she directly retorted:
"Don't worry about it! It was just someone really annoying who beat me up. I just didn't want to make a big deal about it, so I stopped you from asking any more questions."
Bai Yixin distorted the facts and didn't want to tell her parents that it was she who provoked Li Chuyue first, which led to her being beaten, and she also caused her cousin to lose his good job.
At this moment, Father Bai, who had been silent all this time, saw Bai Yixin arguing with his wife. He said sternly with a serious expression:
"Your eardrums are about to be perforated, and you still have the energy to talk back to your mother!
If you don’t want to stay here, just go home! We won’t care about you anymore!”
As soon as Father Bai spoke, although his voice was low, Bai Yixin suddenly became scared.
Bai Yixin immediately shut her mouth, not daring to complain anymore. She could only pout, looking at her mother with a look of grievance, wanting to cry but not being able to.
