The leaders of the five families walked slowly past. Although the party scene was in an uproar, filled with shock, there was no chaos. Everyone stayed in place, not daring to move, as they all held significant statuses. If they rushed forward to surround the patriarchs of the five families, it would be a disgrace.

It's not that they wouldn't dare to do so; even if someone had such a thought and wanted to glimpse the elegance of the five leaders, they wouldn't dare to act impulsively. They could only crane their necks and stand on tiptoe to watch.

One could imagine that if someone ran up, they would definitely be escorted out, so everyone was quite well-behaved.

This party was hosted by the Li Family. If they dared to make a fuss, they couldn't even imagine the consequences.

The five leaders walked straight toward Mengyao and the other three.

The path ahead had already been voluntarily cleared, with the guests standing on both sides, gazing intently at the graceful demeanor of the five.

Many people envied those who could get close to the five family leaders, fortunate to witness the elegance of these five.

"The leaders of the five families are actually heading toward Chu Mengyao!"

"Heavens, how is this possible?! What's going on?!!"

"Any one of these five, with just a slight move, would cause the Northwest Business Community to tremble three times. Yet, these five business giants are all heading toward Chu Mengyao's direction. This is a world-shaking event."

"Even though Chu Mengyao holds a high business status, one of the five meeting her would show enough respect. For all five to come together, how much power must she have to warrant such attention?"

"Looking across the vast Northwest, who is qualified to make these five appear together? No one, not a single one."

"Chu Mengyao is too prominent, but can even the Chu Group make all five appear together?!!"

"If I could be noticed like this, even if only one of the five valued me, I would die without regret."

"Is Chu Mengyao's business status really that extraordinary?"

"Could it be that the Chu Group's strength has compelled the five families to take notice?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible."

"So, what is the purpose of the five leaders of the families appearing together?"

"Earlier, the five ignored Chu Mengyao, giving her a cold shoulder, as a show of strength. So why this change? Could it be an apology? That doesn't fit the style of the five families."

"Many have already guessed that the five families intend to target the Chu Group. Is there room for reversal?"

"The thoughts of these great figures are beyond others' comprehension, and they are not qualified to speculate on any deeper meaning."

With shock and questioning, countless thoughts emerged in everyone's mind.

They roared and pondered inwardly. At this moment, no one dared to whisper; even eye contact was scarce, as they were too stunned to care about anything else.

The leaders of the five families walked through the crowd, casually greeting the guests with a friendly attitude. Then, they came before Mengyao and the other three, but Chu Mengyao and the trio sat still, as if oblivious to what was happening around them.

This scene made the leaders of the five families involuntarily frown, thinking: "Chu Mengyao, the audacity! We five have personally come, and you're still sitting there calmly, thinking of yourself as an unshakable giant! If we give you face, don't throw it away; otherwise, there won't be good fruits to eat."

"Chu Mengyao is too arrogant, acting so blindly and with such nerve."

"The leaders of the five families personally giving face should be graciously accepted. Even if she is on par with the five in status, as a newcomer in front of these business giants, elders, and seniors, having no manners is truly unacceptable."

"No matter how the five families previously underestimated her, so what? Haven't they already given her enough face now?"

"So shameless, thinking too highly of herself."

"Even if Chu Mengyao remains unmoved, the man and two women beside her also remain indifferent. What audacity!"

"Chu Mengyao holds business status, but her companions' reckless disregard is a blatant slap in the face to the five families."

"Chu Mengyao's poor guidance, with subordinates so lacking in propriety, is a death wish. After today, they won't live long, and who knows from which ditch their bodies might be found."

Seeing Chu Mengyao and the others sitting motionlessly, the onlookers almost bit their tongues out of anger. What gives? Chu Mengyao's high business status doesn't justify such arrogance. The face of the leaders of the five families is so significant, and by disrespecting it, she's ignoring something earth-shatteringly bizarre.

Even if Chu Mengyao harbors resentment for the prior slight, everyone could understand, but Ye Fan and the other two's actions are inexplicable, almost begging everyone to kneel. To sit calmly in front of these five speaks of immense daring.

Of course, they also realized that the five families were surely dissatisfied with Ye Fan and the two companions, and soon, they wouldn't know how they died but would become corpses.

To dare offend the five families is to court death, a sign of tiredness of life.

The attendees of the gathering were all there for the face of the five families, and naturally wouldn't take the side of Chu Mengyao and her three companions. Their attitude was extremely hostile, with no kindness whatsoever.

"They really have the nerve to remain seated!" Zheng Jia Mei was dumbfounded from afar.

The leaders of the prestigious five families exuded an immense aura; yet Ye Fan and Chu Mengyao remained calm and composed, which greatly surprised Zheng Jia Mei. With her father, she could keep her calm due to kinship, but with these four's presence, she didn't have the composure to remain so cool before business magnates.

"What nerve? Not knowing to yield."

"The elders came forward, and Chu Mengyao is too reckless. Also Ye Fan, Qiu Wen, and that little secretary are all out of line."

"So arrogant, putting us in a difficult position in public."

"A few nobodies dare show such disdain before the five families; how insolent. Even if the Chu Group could match one of the five families, how dare Chu Mengyao act so insolent."

In the area where Li Yang and the other four young masters were, they gnashed their teeth in anger.

"Let them enjoy their triumph for now. After this, they will certainly pay for their actions," Li Yang said viciously.

"Exactly, whether it's the Chu Group or the Ye Gang, they must all perish," the other young masters echoed indignantly.
