1821 Something Happened (1)
Although it was just an engagement party, the scale was grand.
Apart from the members of the Gu and Qi families, many other guests were invited.
After all, the alliance between the two families was powerful, and everyone naturally wanted to show their support.
Thus, at the venue, Xia Xibei saw many familiar faces that she often saw on television.
Those people were also quite surprised when they saw Xia Xibei.
When they noticed Qi Zhi’an and Ling Xiao standing beside her, their astonishment grew even stronger.
In fact, Xia Xibei’s ident.i.ty should have been announced long ago.
However, she always felt it was unnecessary.
Besides, she had been busy with various matters, so she hadn’t officially introduced herself to the public.
This time, with Qi Zhi’an and Ling Xiao accompanying her everywhere, everyone naturally learned about her ident.i.ty.
Of course, those who were well-informed already knew about the changes in the Qi family’s childrens’ status.
It must be said that even though Xia Xibei didn’t grow up in the Qi family, she gave off an extraordinary air.
She carried herself with grace and elegance, just like someone who had been raised in the Qi family.
She appeared composed, confident, and very dignified.
After Qi Zhi’an and Ling Xiao took her around, Xia Xibei’s ident.i.ty began to spread among the guests.
Everyone knew that she was the true heiress of the Qi family, waiting for the day when a grand banquet would be held to formally introduce her to the world.
With that, everything in the Qi family would naturally fall into her hands.
This idea made many people even more enthusiastic about Xia Xibei.
Being so beautiful and having a strong background, she was truly a winner in life.
Facing the warmth and attentiveness of others, Xia Xibei remained polite but not overly enthusiastic.
Meanwhile, in a room, Qi Xin had a cold expression as she watched Qi Zhi’an and Ling Xiao walking around with Xia Xibei.
A man walked up behind her, embraced her waist, and leaned in close to her ear, smiling.
“How about it? Are you jealous?”
“Why would I be?” Qi Xin glanced at her fiancé indifferently. “Those things will eventually be mine. What do I have to be jealous of?”
“True,” Gu Guanlin laughed heartily. “Indeed, there’s no need to be jealous over those things.”
Gu Guanlin’s expression mirrored Qi Xin’s confidence.
For them, whether it was the Gu or Qi family, they would eventually be in control.
They were a powerful alliance.
“But are you really willing to lay hands on them?” Gu Guanlin looked at the faces of Qi Zhi’an and Ling Xiao on the monitor. “After all, they are your parents.”
“Not biologically,” Qi Xin replied coldly. “Their biological daughter is someone else. I’m just a cuckoo occupying their nest.”
Gu Guanlin chuckled, “Don’t say that. You are the most qualified person to inherit the Qi family.”
After all, she grew up in the Qi family.
“That’s what I think, too,” Qi Xin nodded. “That’s why we’re collaborating, aren’t we?”
Gu Guanlin’s smile became even brighter, “Yes, our collaboration will be unstoppable.”
He looked at Qi Xin with a contemplative gaze, realizing that her ambition was remarkably strong.
What was more, besides her ambition, she had the decisiveness to put her plans into action.
“Alright, as the main characters, it’s our turn to show up.”
“Okay.”
After Gu Guanlin adorned Qi Xin with jewelry, he held her hand and they walked out together.
Observing their appearance as a handsome and beautiful couple, the guests felt that they were a perfect match.
Soon, dinner began.
As Qi Xin looked at the familiar faces below, a radiant smile adorned her face.
