The next day, as he prepared to attend the engagement banquet, Jiang Chen put on a suit. 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, was expansive, resembling a grand estate. The lawn in front was larger than a football field, and in the precious real estate of Hong Kong Island, possessing such a large villa showcased the Liu Family's status and power, 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 a gathering of high society at the entrance. Celebrities from Hong Kong Island came to offer their congratulations, and even some figures who rarely made public appearances were present this time.
The reason Liu Jiyue had such an impressive turnout was twofold: first, due to the Liu Family's influence; second, because he had recently developed a Divine Medicine that had gained him considerable fame. For such a medical genius, everyone was 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 stunning!" A relative of the bride exclaimed upon seeing a woman 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 to see a celebrity they had only seen on television.
"Mind your manners! You can't embarrass our Li Xiyun tonight! It's just a star; it's nothing special. Many celebrities will be here tonight. If you get this excited over one, it makes it seem like we’ve never seen the world," 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 composed themselves, feigning disinterest.
Jiang Chen found it amusing how these relatives clung to their pride while suffering embarrassment. They wore stiff expressions that didn’t allow for smiles and mimicked the mannerisms of Hong Kong’s elite, resulting in awkward walking postures.
Liu Jiyue waited at the entrance and stepped forward when he saw Li Xiyun arrive. She smiled as she linked her arm with his and gracefully walked into the villa.
Li Xiyun had already been made up by a professional makeup artist that afternoon and wore an evening gown worth millions along with exquisite jewelry. She looked stunningly elegant.
As the stars of the night, Liu Jiyue and Li Xiyun immediately drew attention upon their arrival, though some voices whispered disapprovingly about Li Xiyun’s background.
"Jiyue, is this your fiancée?" Suddenly, a striking woman in a blue evening gown blocked Liu Jiyue’s path with a half-smile.
Seeing her caused Liu Jiyue's expression to darken.
"Zhao Xinrong, what do you want?"
"I don't think she's much prettier than me," Zhao Xinrong said as she scrutinized Li Xiyun with disdain before glancing at her relatives—including Jiang Chen—showing no restraint in her mockery.
"Jiyue, your taste is getting worse. Just look at your fiancée's relatives; they seem like country bumpkins visiting the city. Even though they're dressed up, no matter how fine their clothes are, ordinary people remain ordinary without noble grace. You're really embarrassing your Liu Family," Zhao Xinrong's tone was sharp and cutting, showing no regard for Li Xiyun’s family in front of everyone.
