Chapter 297 The reception banquet
Chapter 297 The reception banquet
The sun was shining brightly, and Bai Sinan was pulled out of bed and dressed up.
Her upper and lower eyelids kept fighting, and she muttered, "No way... Grandma, aunt, isn't this just a welcoming party? Getting up so early to dress up, isn't it too grand..."
If you don't know, you might think she's getting married today...
"You lazy little cat, it's already morning. Guests will start to arrive in an hour."
Xu Ningshuang smiled and took the ruby necklace from the maid and helped her put it on.
"This is the necklace your aunt picked for you, just to match your pair of earrings."
Because Bai Si Nan had been wearing this pair of earrings, the careful Ye Ling Yue soon noticed it. After asking, she found out that this was a treasure left by Xiao Nan's mother to her to isolate her bloodline.
"Although this necklace is not a valuable item, it is just a magic weapon for self-defense, but it can be useful in a critical moment. Usually, Xiaonan treats it as an ordinary piece of jewelry and wears it whenever she wants."
Bai Si Nan touched the necklace and smiled, "How can something my aunt gave me not be considered valuable? And how can I bear to take off such a beautiful necklace?"
Hearing this, Ye Lingyue also smiled: "As long as Xiaonan likes it."
At noon, the front hall of the Bai family was filled with guests, and almost all the leaders of various forces in the main city had come.
After all, the Bai family is not only the city lord's mansion, but also a super powerful force. They all wanted to put the invitation up for sale, so how could they refuse such an opportunity?
Of course, there are many people who want to refuse.
As the dean of Tianhuang College and the eldest daughter of the Yun family, Yun Xiruo will definitely be invited.
But this invitation letter was like a death warrant in her hand. She didn't know whether Bai Wan'er had exposed her affairs, and she didn't know whether Bai Sinan would take the opportunity to vent his anger on her.
However, how could she refuse the invitation letter that was personally delivered to her door? Moreover, with the relationship with the Yun family, she had no reason to refuse.
"Ugh……"
Yun Xiruo rubbed her forehead, and the headache that had finally been relieved began to recur.
"Ruo'er, is your head starting to hurt again?"
Yuntai walked up to her and asked with concern.
"I'm fine, you don't have to worry. But today's welcoming banquet is destined to be troublesome. I have a bad feeling in my heart."
"Alas, no matter what, Chen'er has been abandoned. Now the Yun family can only rely on you."
Yun Xiruo's eyes dimmed: "I understand, father."
The surroundings instantly became quiet, and all the guests bowed their heads and saluted respectfully to the visitor.
On Bai Yexing's sides were Yi Qingchen and Yan Qianjue.
However, today, Yan Qianjue was not wearing a mask, contrary to his usual behavior, and even wore a long azure robe, which made people unable to associate him with the decisive and murderous master of Cangming Palace.
Even Yi Qingchen couldn't help but steal a few glances at him, and was shocked to the extreme.
"Thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedule to come to the welcoming banquet for the daughter of the Bai family. I would like to toast you all with this glass."
Bai Yexing stood at the top, and his gentle and polite demeanor instantly relaxed the somewhat tense situation.
Yuntai was the first to raise his glass and responded, "What are you talking about, City Lord? It is our honor to be able to attend the welcoming banquet. We should toast you with this glass of wine."
After that, he drank it all in one gulp.
Seeing that Yuntai had already started to flatter him, the others did not want to be outdone and stood up to toast, hoping to leave a good impression in Bai Yexing's eyes.
Bai Yexing kept smiling and drank the wine in the glass.
"I'm sure everyone is curious about the identity of the Bai family's eldest daughter, so I won't keep you in suspense..."
"Xiao Nan, come in."
The graceful figure of the girl appeared in front of everyone. It seemed that the words "stunning beauty" and "elegant and graceful" were not enough to describe her peerless beauty.
Her skin was as white as snow, her eyes were as bright as obsidian, her black hair fell on her shoulders like a waterfall, a glass hairpin was inserted diagonally in her hair, and she was wearing a blue cloud brocade dress. She was as beautiful as a fairy in a painting, and people could not take their eyes off her.
At that moment, the entire banquet fell silent, and everyone was amazed by her.
"This is the real daughter of my Bai family, Bai Si Nan!"
