The Sweet Life of Superstar and His Goddess Wife-Chapter 505: Half Siblings with the Same Father (3rd Update)
Zhantong, she actually doesn’t want to come back?!
What the hell is that woman up to? Doesn’t she know he’s got a lot going on lately? She just up and left home out of nowhere, refusing to return.
Is she still the little girl from over twenty years ago, who needs him to coax her?
She’s grown up, yet she’s doing such childish things. Didn’t he already send gifts, texted her, and apologized for neglecting her because of work?
He even promised to take her out for movies and candlelight dinners every week in the future. What more does she want?
"If she doesn’t want to come back, then replace her. Did she really think the Yan Family has only her as the madam?"
The butler silently dared not to speak.
"How’s everything outside?"
"All going smoothly."
...
To show the close relationship between the four families, typically when one of the elders of the four families is celebrating a birthday, the other three family elders would visit first with the grandchild they value most.
Then, when the banquet officially starts, the children would bring gifts to present separately.
Next are the representatives of the other invited families.
When Yan Hao, accompanied by Ying Feng, Zue Youqi, and Lu Buding, suddenly saw Jiang Nuo and Mu Qiuniang appear, he was taken aback.
What is he doing here?
It seems like their family didn’t send an invitation to the Mu Family in Capital City, right? Uninvited?
"Hey, did you send the invitation?" Ying Feng was somewhat surprised. After all, he knew about his buddy’s issue with the Mu Family from Capital City, and with his buddy’s vengeful nature, wasn’t he not supposed to invite anyone from the Mu family?
"No!" Yan Hao’s expression was slightly cold.
Not to mention the grudge with the Mu family, he also couldn’t bring himself to like Jiang Nuo at all.
When he was down, Jiang Nuo’s career was skyrocketing; not only that, everything was going smoothly for him, even in love.
What’s more infuriating, despite sending people after him, neither he nor Lady Dongfang’s people could capture Jiang Nuo to seize his Qi Fortune.
The more successful Jiang Nuo became, the unluckier he was.
He even started to suspect that perhaps instead of seizing Jiang Nuo’s Qi Fortune, Jiang Nuo had seized his.
"Young Master Yan, I came uninvited, hope it’s not a bother!" Jiang Nuo, dressed in a white suit with a white rose tucked in his chest pocket, appeared dashing. He had one arm around Mu Qiuniang’s waist, and stretched out a hand to Yan Hao.
Yan Hao shook his hand: "Not at all, Jiang Nuo, who doesn’t know you? The big star of the entertainment world, it’s truly our honor to have you at the Yan Family to celebrate grandfather’s birthday. But, today’s guests are representatives from several families, are you sure you’re suitable for this place as someone from the entertainment circle?"
His tone wasn’t exactly friendly.
"Whether I’m suitable or not, seems not up to you, is it? Perhaps, I’m more suitable here than you are."
"You, just an actor, do you think it’s appropriate to say such things?"
If it weren’t for many watching as they entered and exited the Yan family’s gates, making it inappropriate to cause a scene, Yan Hao really felt like kicking him out.
Too much of an eyesore!
Ying Feng nudged his arm, signaling him to keep his image as everyone was watching.
"Please, go ahead!" Yan Hao didn’t even consider letting him accompany him inside, merely lifted a hand and turned to the next guest.
Jiang Nuo didn’t mind, maintaining his gentlemanly demeanor, he smiled and led Mu Qiuniang inside the Yan family’s gates.
Seeing this, everyone instantly felt: Honestly, aside from Jiang Nuo’s actor background, his demeanor was indeed on par with those from the family lineages!
This time, for Yan elder’s birthday banquet, not all guests were seated indoors; significant guests would accompany the elder inside, while most were set on open-air lawns.
At that moment, Yan Shanchuan was entertaining guests on the lawn.
Like Yan Hao, when he saw Jiang Nuo and Mu Qiuniang, he was momentarily stunned since not long ago, he had arranged for someone to assassinate Jiang Nuo. Simply put, Jiang Nuo’s presence posed a threat to him.
Particularly after discovering that Yan Hao had also made a failed attempt on Jiang Nuo before, yet Jiang Nuo’s situation only got better. Since there was already enmity, he thought it best to eliminate any future trouble.
However, neither Yan Hao nor he managed to get rid of Jiang Nuo.
Jiang Nuo coming here now, could he be here for revenge?
Yan Shanchuan slightly narrowed his eyes.
"Mr. Yan, it’s a pleasure to meet you for the first time!"
"Mr. Jiang, you’re too kind, you are an international superstar, young and talented. People like me, old and outmatched by the younger ones."
"Ha ha... Mr. Yan, how could you easily die? If it were that easy for you to die, there wouldn’t be so many issues, wouldn’t there?"
"Mr. Jiang, are you implying something against me?"
Jiang Nuo candidly admitted: "You’re not wrong, I do have a grudge against you, and it’s quite significant. One could say, Mr. Yan owes me a life!"
Yan Shanchuan thought he was referring to the assassination attempt and smirked: "I, someone who most dislikes taking lives, how could I owe you a life? Mr. Jiang, you’re joking. Besides, this is a peaceful era, any murder or plunder is illegal, who would dare?"
"That also depends on the person; some wear the face of a saint while doing things only beasts would do, what can one do?"
Yan Shanchuan’s face fell: "Mr. Jiang, are you here to pick a fight with me today? Today is my family elder’s birthday, isn’t this going too far?"
"One who can commit such acts, should be prepared to endure the consequences!"
"Since Mr. Jiang puts it this way, I can only invite you to leave!"
Jiang Nuo, bearing the natural aura of an international film emperor, drew immediate attention. Especially since he directly approached the Family Head of the Yan Family for a conversation.
At first, they were courteous, but as the conversation continued, the atmosphere between them turned somewhat off.
A suspicion?
Wait, why does it seem like the Yan Family Head is being confronted?
Yan Shanchuan directly called for security.
But before the security could act, the voice of Yan elder could be heard: "What’s going on here?"
Accompanying him were the elders from the Ying, Lu, and Yue families.
"Dad, why did you come out?" Yan Shanchuan was surprised.
"Wasn’t it you who arranged for someone to call me out?" Yan elder said.
"I didn’t!" Yan Shanchuan denied.
"Indeed, it wasn’t Mr. Yan who invited you, it was I." At this time, Jiang Nuo spoke.
"You?" Yan elder wasn’t very familiar with the entertainment industry, and thus didn’t recognize Jiang Nuo as a figure in it. Curious, he noted the young man’s impressive demeanor, yet he couldn’t remember which family he was from.
Was he getting too old, unable to recognize these kids from influential families?
"Elder, maybe you don’t know me, but you should know the lady from the Zhan Family, Zhan Zhengtong, right?" Jiang Nuo asked earnestly.
