Eternal Love: The Billionaire's Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 507 - 500: Scheming

The full moon banquet for Xiao Xi was held at a hotel under Bai Yiran’s name. Previously, Bai Yiran had visited this hotel and she didn’t expect that in just a few months, the hotel had undergone a complete makeover; both the software and hardware now met international standards.

Bai Yiran was once again impressed by Leng Yichen’s unique vision and capability!

On the day of the full moon banquet, Bai Yiran appeared relatively calm. She got ready early and waited in the living room with Xiao Xi and Xiao Lang for Leng Yichen to pick them up.

Grandma seemed a bit uneasy, "Yiran... maybe I shouldn’t go..."

Bai Yiran looked at Grandma. Owing to her long-time hobby of square dancing, Grandma’s figure was quite decent compared to other elderly women. At this moment, she was wearing a cheongsam that Leng Yichen had specially commissioned a designer to tailor for her, making her look regal and dignified.

Her face, lined with wrinkles and long untouched by makeup, was today adorned with an exquisite and age-appropriate look, making Grandma appear even more radiant.

"You are Xiao Xi’s great-grandmother. How can you not attend her full moon banquet, Grandma?"

"I’ve never attended such an occasion in my life. I’m afraid I’ll embarrass you and Yichen." Grandma understood Bai Yiran’s current situation. She wouldn’t do anything to disgrace Bai Yiran. However, she was also afraid that Bai Yiran might be bullied at the banquet. After all, she was old, and her face was thick enough to not let her precious granddaughter be bullied.

Leng Yichen came in from outside and looked at Bai Yiran and the others, "Are you all ready?"

Bai Yiran nodded, "What about Uncle and the others?"

Leng Yichen checked the time, "I’ve already asked Li Sha to pick them up, they’ll go directly to the venue."

Bai Yiran picked up Xiao Xi and kissed her on the cheek, "Xiao Xi, it’s all on you today!"

Today was the first time Xiao Xi would appear in the public eye, and Bai Yiran was more nervous than anyone.

"Don’t worry, everything will be fine." Leng Yichen knew how Bai Yiran felt and gently comforted her.

Many people had already arrived at the venue for the full moon banquet. Because the child was still young and lacked energy and stamina, Bai Yiran didn’t intend to have her make an appearance at the start.

The true protagonist makes a grand entrance. Despite her reluctance, Bai Yiran left Xiao Xi and Sister Liu in a prepared resting room. She and Leng Yichen first went to meet and mingle with the guests at the banquet.

Uncle’s family arrived a bit earlier, seeing this as a rare opportunity to expand their network. As soon as Uncle arrived at the venue, he left Aunt and Cheng Shishi to go off and socialize.

Xia Lian and Cheng Shishi were attending such a banquet for the first time. Although they carried the pride of their maternal families, they still felt somewhat intimidated.

All who came to the full moon banquet were upper-class people; their wives and daughters were all socialites and ladies. To blend into those circles, Xia Lian had studied etiquette long before the banquet.

However, upon arriving at the scene, she realized that the so-called etiquette she learned was utterly useless. No one paid any attention to her or Cheng Shishi.

Those circles of wealthy ladies and young women were already small, and everyone was almost familiar with each other, usually gathering with those of equal status, and there were not a few who sought to join circles higher than their own.

Like Mrs. Xu, who once allied with Luna to mock Bai Yiran at a dinner for not being able to have children.

She had been afraid for a long time after offending Bai Yiran. But now seeing Bai Yiran only had a daughter, she couldn’t be happier.

"I told you, that Bai Yiran simply couldn’t give birth to a son." Mrs. Xu said without reservation, without any awareness that she was on someone else’s turf, "I see Old Sir Leng never liked this daughter-in-law, and now that she has a girl, she’s likely to be kicked out soon."

"Exactly, isn’t this common in families like ours?" someone agreed.

"Of course, don’t say I didn’t warn you! Whoever among you has a daughter, you’d better make an effort; she might be the next president’s wife!" Mrs. Xu’s eyes shone with plotting as she considered if she had any pretty nieces or relatives at home.

With Mrs. Xu’s words, the eyes of the other ladies and young women beside her lit up.

Xia Lian and Cheng Shishi stood nearby, listening to these words without missing a single one...
