The next day, as he prepared to attend the engagement banquet, Jiang Chen bought a suit and hung it on himself. 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 vast, resembling a grand estate. The lawn in front was larger than a football field. In the precious real estate of Hong Kong Island, possessing such a large villa showcased the status and power of the Liu Family, truly deserving of being one of the top families on Hong Kong Island.
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 prominent figures gathering at the entrance. Celebrities from Hong Kong Island came to congratulate them, and even some individuals who rarely made public appearances were present this time.
Liu Jiyue's significant standing was partly due to the Liu Family's influence and partly because he had recently developed a miraculous medicine that had garnered him fame. As a medical genius, he received considerable respect from everyone.
"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!" exclaimed a relative of the bride upon seeing a woman in a white evening gown.
Since the bride came from the mainland, her relatives were likely from there as well. It was normal for them to be excited upon seeing 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 not that big of a deal. Many celebrities will be here tonight. If you get so excited over one, it makes us look 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 initially been curious and looking around but now all composed themselves, feigning disinterest.
Jiang Chen found it amusing how these relatives of the bride were so concerned about appearances. They wore stiff expressions, afraid to smile, and even walked awkwardly as if trying to mimic the celebrities of Hong Kong Island.
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. Dressed in an evening gown worth millions and adorned with exquisite jewelry, she looked stunningly elegant.
As the main characters of the night, Liu Jiyue and Li Xiyun immediately attracted attention upon their arrival. However, there were also some disapproving murmurs regarding Li Xiyun's background.
"Liu Jiyue, is this your fiancée?" Suddenly, a woman in a blue evening gown with striking features blocked Liu Jiyue's path and said with a smirk.
Seeing this woman made Liu Jiyue's expression darken.
"Zhao Xinrong, what do you want?"
"I don't think she's much prettier than me," Zhao Xinrong scoffed as she scrutinized Li Xiyun before glancing at her group of relatives—including Jiang Chen—her face openly displaying contempt.
"Liu Jiyue, your taste is getting worse. Just look at your fiancée's relatives; they resemble country bumpkins coming to town. Even though they're dressed up, ordinary people remain ordinary no matter how fine their clothes are; they lack noble grace. You're truly embarrassing your Liu Family," Zhao Xinrong's tone was sharp and biting, showing no regard for Li Xiyun's family in front of everyone.
