Was there any correlation between the embroidery of a white camellia flower on Lady White Tea’s cuffs and the one on the First Lady before her?

At this time, there was no time to think about other things. Xu Xiyan was honored to shake hands with the First Lady.

Yun Xuerou nodded and smiled at her, her eyes showing her praise for her.

However, no one knew that a storm was roiling inside her heart.

She looked at the girl in front of her whose face was quite similar to Jing Ruyue’s and became even more suspicious. Had Jing Ruyue kept the truth from her and given birth to a daughter secretly?

Had Helian Wei found out something?

In order to know more about Jing Xi, she took Jing Xi’s hand and said kindly to her, “In any case, you’re the savior of the Helian family and you deserve the seat of honor. Come with me.”

Like a good wife, Yun Xuerou led Jing Xi back to her seat and arranged for Jing Xi to sit next to her.

On the surface, Yun Xuerou looked amiable, but in fact, she was despising Jing Xi very much. Especially when she touched Jing Xi’s tender little hand and looked at her youthful and beautiful appearance, she could not help but be reminded of that woman more than twenty years ago.

Lan Ling-Er, who was standing among the other guests looking up at them, could not think properly anymore. She felt that her brain was not working hard enough or there might even be problems with her eyes.

She saw the president and his wife come down personally to welcome Jing Xi and take her up to the seats of honor. She simply couldn’t believe her eyes.

She really wanted to know what kind of things Jing Xi had done that the President and the First Lady were being so courteous to her?

Almost all of the banquet guests had already arrived. Now, the only one missing was the most important person of the event.

Yun Xuerou did not see her son arriving and told Helian Wei to send someone to bring him back. Helian Wei could only tell Jin Xiu to contact him again.

...

Meanwhile, at another place, an impromptu shooting competition was taking place at a shooting gallery.

The two competitors who were having a showdown were Helian Qingyu and Huo Yunshen.

The competition started. Helian Qingyu lifted his gun, aimed at the bull’s eye and fired five shots in succession. Bang-bang-bang-bang-bang!

Soon the results were announced. Three of Helian Qingyu’s five shots scored the highest score of 10.9 while the other two shots scored 10.7 and 10.8.

“Woooooow... the General is amazing!”

“If it isn’t the god of sharpshooters!”

“They were too precise! Great shots!”

After finishing what he intended to say, Huo Yunshen turned to leave.

“Hey, brother, wait, let’s be friends.” Helian QIngyu stopped him.

Calling a person brother meant that Helian Qingyu had acknowledged him. Helian Qingyu had never bowed down to anyone, but Huo Yunshen was entirely on a level that even he would idolize.

He had to befriend Huo Yunshen.

The truth was that he was already friends with Zeus because they’d been contacting each other from time to time, but Helian QIngyu had no idea about Huo Yunshen’s true identity.

“Not interested,” Huo Yunshen said without stopping.

“Good!”

The more arrogant Huo Yunshen was, the more Helian Qingyu wanted to befriend him.

Helian Qingyu got a call from the President’s mansion as soon as they left the shooting range, telling him that his father had used the military order to order him back to the party.

Even though he intended to invite Xu Xiyan to the party too, she refused him beforehand.

He suddenly thought of an idea. If he could force Huo Yunshen, then Xu Xiyan would have to follow him too.

Huo Yunshen was already in his car ready to look for his wife when Helian QIngyu barged into his car.

“The President’s mansion, please,” Helian QIngyu told the driver.

“I think you’ve got the wrong car,” Huo Yunshen said.

“Nope, I’m inviting you to the party at the President’s mansion.”

“And what if I don’t want to go?”

“Then Jing Xi will belong to me tonight.”

“What have you done to her?”

“Don’t worry, I have no intention of courting her. I just want to express my gratitude and give her a huge surprise.”

“What surprise?”

Helian QIngyu looked at Huo Yunshen and smiled cunningly.

...

The buffet party started at the mansion.

Maidens gathered around each other waiting for the main character of the party to show up.

Without waiting long, one of the servants came in and announced, “The general Is here!”
