Chapter 18 How dare Yuan Xi sit in the main seat

Yuan Xi put down the phone and said, "Boss Si, I'm so sorry, Boss Gu suddenly had something to do and left early."

Si Chen: “It’s okay.”

Qin Yue was wearing a custom-made silk cheongsam and smiled softly, "The banquet is about to begin. Please take a seat first."

Qin Yue took Yuan Xi and Huo Shiyan to the main table. Yuan Xi saw the reserved seat on the main table and whispered, "This seat..."

Qin Yue smiled faintly: "Boss Huo is the matchmaker between me and Si Chen. It's okay for the matchmaker to be the main person."

Huo Shiyan took Yuan Xi's hand and sat down at the main table calmly.

Yuan Xi arrived at the main table and greeted Si Chen's grandparents first, then turned to look at Chu Qing and Yang Ying, "Mom and Dad, this is my husband."

Chu Qing and Yang Ying saw Yuan Xi coming, and after hearing what Yuan Xi said, they looked at Huo Shiyan beside her.

"Boss Chu, is this your daughter? I remember Chu Yan didn't look like this?"

Gu Hanchen's father, Gu Jiujin, the helmsman of the Gu family, one of the four great families in Jiangcheng, looked at Yuan Xi and said, "Boss Chu, didn't you say that your daughter was engaged to Bo Fan? Did you change the person?"

Gu Hanchen's mother said, "Hey, Gu Jiujin, how can this girl be Chu Yan? She is Yuan Xi, the secretary of our Xiaochen! You have seen her several times, don't you remember her?"

Gu Jiujin angrily scolded: "I even forgot what that brat looks like, how can I remember what his secretary general looks like? Gu Hanchen is always slovenly and has no manners. The reputation of our Gu family shipping company is almost ruined by that prodigal son. Mr. Si is really lucky to have such a good son like Si Chen."

Father Si sighed: "Where? I heard that Mi Chen is about to go public. Han Chen is still capable."

Gu Jiujin sneered and said, "His company is just a bunch of kids playing games."

Yuan Xi knew that Gu Hanchen's parents were very disgusted with Gu Hanchen starting a game company.

The Gu family is in the shipbuilding business. With the shipbuilding industry now thriving, it is understandable that the physical manufacturing industry looks down on the Internet gaming industry.

But Gu Jiujin probably didn't know that if Mi Chen could successfully go public, according to current estimates, on the first day of Mi Chen's listing, Gu Hanchen's wealth would far exceed the shipbuilding business accumulated by the Gu family over a hundred years.

Mrs. Gu asked Yang Ying who was standing beside her, "Why did Secretary Yuan call you mom and dad?"

Yang Ying smiled and said, "Her original name is Chu Xinyan, and she is our daughter who has been missing for twenty-six years."

Mrs. Gu asked, "Ah? What about Chu Yan?"

"Chu Yan was adopted by us." Yang Ying said slowly.

Mrs. Gu was extremely shocked and asked, "You lost your daughter. How come we haven't heard of such a big thing?"

After Yuan Xi sat down, Huo Shiyan poured her a glass of orange juice. Yuan Xi held the drink cup. Few people in the circle had heard of the richest man's missing daughter...

When Yuan Xi was working at the university, he would meet various parents who were looking for abducted children. Some of them were wearing T-shirts with information about the abducted children and holding up signs with information and photos of their children when they were abducted.

Some parents of lost children will go wherever there is a lot of fun, such as concert entrances or crowded scenic spots. They hold up signs hoping that one more person will see the information that their child is lost and pay attention, in case that one more person can provide a clue.

Even if they are driven away by security guards, they will still stubbornly wander around tourist attractions with large traffic flow.

Many people felt that they destroyed the beauty of the scenic spot and caused trouble for the security guards.

It is true that this approach will affect others and is not advisable, but these parents who have lost their children are so stubborn, just wanting one more person to see it and give them more hope...

However, the Chu family kept the news of their missing daughter a secret, and even Chu Lin didn't know about it.

Yuan Xi thought that perhaps the Chu family was too wealthy and they were afraid that once the news of the child being lost spread, many people would come to claim the child as their biological child, so they simply investigated the matter in private.

But if the Chu family had already started to search for their missing daughter in a high-profile manner, how could they, as the richest family in Jiangcheng, not be able to find their daughter with their manpower and resources?
Besides, she is in Jiangcheng.

Sure enough, Yuan Xi heard Chu Qing answer: "I didn't say that I lost my daughter. It's because 25 years ago when we were looking for the child in a big way, many people coveted the Chu family's wealth and brought their daughters to recognize their relatives, hoping to get rich.

At that time, every time she did a DNA test, she felt disappointed. As the disappointments grew, Yang Ying's body gradually couldn't bear it anymore...

So we simply adopted Chu Yan and said we had found our daughter, and we only looked for her privately. "Si Chen's grandmother said, "Amitabha, it's good to find her. Now that she's found, it's a great joy."

Yang Ying looked at Yuan Xi and said with a smile: "Yes, it's good that Xin'er is back."

Yuan Xi also smiled faintly.

Chu Yan, who was sitting at the main table, had been wondering who would sit in the two most honorable seats, but she didn't expect it to be Yuan Xi and her husband.

Chu Yan nudged Chu Lin with his arm and said, "Brother, look, are Yuan Xi and her husband crazy? Don't they know that those are the two most important seats at the main table? How dare they sit there!"

Chu Lin looked over and said, "Mom and Dad are over there. Should they go over and say hello to them?"

Chu Yan: "Yuan Xi has already sat down to drink orange juice. Yuan Xi's husband is from the village and doesn't know etiquette. How can Yuan Xi be so ignorant of etiquette? You don't think that you can sit at the main table just because you are the daughter of the Chu family, right?"

Chu Yan pursed her lips and stood up: "I can't let them sit in the main seat. It will be bad if those two distinguished guests come later. I don't know who they are. Don't let our Chu family be offended."

When Chu Yan was about to go over.

Si Chen took the microphone and said on the stage: "Thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedule to attend the wedding banquet of Qin Yue and I. We would also like to sincerely thank our matchmaker John."

The waiter handed the microphone to Huo Shiyan, who took the microphone and said, "I wish you two a happy marriage and a son soon."

After Huo Shiyan finished speaking, he handed the microphone to Si Chen's grandfather.

Chu Yan at the table next to him said, "I didn't expect that he was a matchmaker. He even copied others to choose an English name. It's so funny. Don't you know that John is the name of those white men in their forties? He must have never been abroad and just randomly searched for an English name for himself!"

Chu Lin frowned and said, "Yan Yan, stop talking. He is already Yuan Xi's husband."

Yu Xiaoxiao said: "Brother Chu Lin, Yanyan is just someone who can't stand pretending."

At the wedding banquet, Yang Ying and Chu Qing had been watching Huo Shiyan the whole time. Seeing how he took care of Yuan Xi, peeling shrimps for her, etc., they began to have some good feelings towards Huo Shiyan, but not much.

Yang Ying asked, "John, I didn't expect you to be Si Chen's matchmaker. How did you two meet?"

Huo Shiyan said: "Qin Yue and Si Chen are both my colleagues, and I brought them together by chance."

"What job do you do now?"

Huo Shiyan said: "I'm currently working on something like construction."

Huo Shiyan didn't want to hide his identity in front of Yuan Xi's parents, but there were too many people attending the wedding banquet today. After revealing that he was the president of Shixi Finance, he was afraid that he would have no leisure time in Jiangcheng.

The Ruo Lake development project can also be considered as the construction industry.

No matter what Yang Ying and Chu Qing asked, Huo Shiyan answered them calmly and generously.

Mrs. Gu said, "Yuan Xi has found a good husband. He is handsome and well-spoken. You are so lucky to have such an outstanding son like Xiao Lin, and two good sons-in-law like Bo Fan and John."

Chu Yan sneered, how could Yuan Xi’s husband be mentioned together with Bo Fan?
Construction industry? Bricklayers are also in the construction industry, and migrant workers are also in the construction industry...

When the wedding guests began to leave in twos and threes.

Yuan Xi stood up and said to Chu Qing and Yang Ying, "Mom and Dad, we're going back first."

Chu Yan always remembered what Madam Gu said, and walked to Yang Ying and said, "Mom, my sister and brother-in-law live in the village, and we don't know how far it is from Shiyi Hotel. I'm so worried about them driving back.

It would be better to book them a suite at the Shiyi Hotel. Shiyi is a leader among five-star hotels and is much more comfortable than the houses in the village. "

Chu Yan wanted to let Mrs. Gu know that Yuan Xi’s husband was not qualified to be compared with Bo Fan.

Madam Gu heard this and said, "Ah, Yuan Xi, why are you still living in the village? Mr. Chu and Madam Yang, I want my daughter to come back after being missing for 26 years. I can blow up Gu Hanchen's Michen Building to build a castle for my daughter. How can you still bear to let your own daughter live in the village?"
