As soon as this topic was mentioned, the scene suddenly fell into a damnable silence.

In fact, there were even a few people who were looking forward to the Li Ze Banquet's next reply.

"Cough, cough …" Li Ze's face twitched as he glared at Chu Cheng. "Chu Cheng, how curious have you been recently?" But I advise you not to meddle. "

As soon as he saw Chu Cheng and those people, the latter immediately guessed that the Li Ze banquet was not about meddling in other people's business. If he were to continue speaking, he might really offend him. They looked at each other and remained silent.

Chu Cheng did not say anything else and sighed. He thought to himself that making a joke with Li Ze's Dining Hall was definitely the most wrong thing he had done recently.

Gu Qinghuan walked to the side of Gu Qinghuan and the others. She looked at them with a smile on her face.

"You still don't know each other, right? Then let me introduce you two to each other?" Gu Qinghuan opened her mouth to inquire, causing the others to immediately nod their heads.

"This is …" Gu Qinghuan swallowed her saliva. She was conflicted as she thought about Zhai Ya's identity. She then chose the safest method. "This is the heir to the Qin family. I presume you'll meet him in business in the future. It's not bad to be able to know him now."

Qin Yu City, who was introduced, paused for a moment. He revealed a habitual professional smile and stretched out his right hand, preparing to shake hands with them.

Prime Minister Chu was straightforward, immediately grabbing his hand and saying fakely, "Nice to meet you."

Li Ze's feast paused for a moment, wiped the palm of his hand, and also replied, "It's my honor to meet you."

Even though he said that, he didn't think that way. What he had seen and felt, together with what Chu Cheng had said earlier, did not affect him in the least.

Qin Yu City felt the strength that was transmitted from his hand and raised his head in puzzlement, yet he saw a pair of eyes that weren't considered friendly.

His heart skipped a beat as he felt a strong enmity envelop him. It seemed as if he was not friendly at all.

"I wonder what Director Li has against me?" Qin Yu City softly spoke, puzzled: "I don't think I have done anything that would let you down, right?"

Qin Yu City had always known that if there was a problem, it was best to finish it as soon as possible, so he very straightforwardly asked.

However, the relationship they had just met was originally very fragile. This suddenly pierced the window paper between the two of them. The two of them looked at each other, and smoke faintly spread out in all directions.

Li Ze Banquet glanced at Gu Qing Huan. Seeing that she was absent-minded, he relaxed and slowly said, "Some things belong to me. I do not wish to see anyone touch them."

It was a very secretive sentence, but it was already known to Qin Yu city. They pulled back their arms.

He narrowed his long and narrow eyes and cast his gaze towards Gu Qinghuan …

The warm-up on the scene quickly ended. Li Heng slowly walked to the front of the stage and raised his microphone. He looked quite like a host.

"I'm very happy to have everyone come to this banquet today. I express my heartfelt gratitude …" A series of polite words slowly came out from his deep voice, with a bit of propriety.

"In order to liven up the atmosphere, we will be having a masked ball in a bit. Everyone, please make your preparations. The masks can be picked up backstage."

As soon as the words were out, everyone was slightly surprised and very soon, they reacted and were replaced by joy.

He had been to countless banquets of various sizes, but not many of them were as novel and interesting as this one.

Seeing the reaction of the audience, Li Heng raised his jaw and nodded in satisfaction. His gaze then landed on a dark corner as his lips curled up in a sinister smile.

Very quickly, everyone had already picked up their masks. Gu Qinghuan and the others were also given a copy each.

Looking at this exquisite mask, it should have been prepared long ago. However, why didn't anyone inform them of this little incident?

Although Gu Qinghuan had some doubts in her heart, when she felt the noisy atmosphere around her, she didn't plan on saying anything else. After rubbing her mask a bit, she prepared to put it on.

In Li Ze's hand was a silver mask. The moment he tried it on, it fit his face perfectly.

The masquerade was just right, and there was also a mask of just the right size.

Isn't this too much of a coincidence?

As expected, the moment he tied the rope, Li Heng's voice sounded again.

"This time, there's going to be a small surprise. I've specially invited the Spring Festival and Gu Qinghuan to give everyone an opening. Is everyone looking forward to it?"

The excited voices crashed into the crowd, and soon a huge uproar was stirred up.

With regards to the news of the Lize Banquet, everyone's sense of touch seemed to be sharper than usual. After they reacted, they immediately reached out their hands to clap.

Li Ze sat on the wheelchair, watching the stimulation of the water and the person on the stage. His heart was trembling slightly.

So he had planned this from the beginning?

This was because the crowd's preference was definitely for him to perform. If he refused, then it would cause people to become tongue-tied and become a notorious unfilial son.

But this was already a foregone conclusion.

His legs were injured, and he could barely stand on the wheelchair. He couldn't even imagine such a violent opening dance. It was simply a pipe dream.

How could Li Heng not know about this? It was probably because he knew about this that he was able to be counted as a safe man.

The shouts of the people around him became more and more intense, as if they were asking him why he wasn't going onstage.

All avenues of retreat were blocked by the man in front of him. It seemed that the Li Ze banquet had reached a point where it was impossible to retreat.

If there was no other way, then the only thing left was …

"I'm sorry, I still have things to do so I'll be leaving first." Li Ze's feast turned around, but this sentence was clearly directed towards Gu Qing Huan.

Since Li Heng did not have the most basic of respect towards him, then he did not need to be righteous to himself anymore.

This scene happened too quickly. The instant that Gu Qinghuan took off her mask, she had already seen the back of Li Ze's party.

However, she understood better than anyone else that Li Heng was deliberately humiliating him, so as to make things difficult for him and embarrass him.

However, the Li Ze Feast in her memory should not be abandoned so easily.

Gu Qing's heart trembled slightly. After a moment of hesitation, she pressed down on Li Ze's hand, which was bursting with veins.

She stood in front of Li Ze's feast. She understood the meaning behind the exchange of glances as she turned to look at the large stage in front of her.

The dim yellow light fell on her face, casting faint shadows everywhere, but at this moment it seemed exceptionally resolute.

"As the eldest son and first wife, we should accept this responsibility. "However …"
