Upon hearing that, Mu Yinan sighed and patted Mu Lingshi again. He spoke with wisdom and love, “Do whatever you want to.”

Mu Lingshi nodded and slowly let go of Mu Yinan, then she turned to Ah Mo who had followed her out before saying calmly, “Send me to the Emperor Hotel.”

Stunned, Ah Mo could not react right away. Moments after that, he finally snapped back and said, “Don’t go. Brother’s there. He’s really worried about your health. Besides, you’re not in the best condition right now, so just stay at home and be good. If anything happens on Brother’s end, Li Si will let us know right away. Also, Master Mo’s with him, so don’t worry about it.”

“Gu Qiwu’s my biological father. If I don’t even turn up myself, why should I let Brother go ahead of me?” Mu Lingshi’s frail body suddenly exuded a strength as if she had found her old self again.

“If you won’t come, then I’ll go myself!” she said, then looked at Mu Yinan before moving away and going outside.

Mu Yinan glanced at the troubled Ah Mo, before he urged, “Alright, you’d better go after her.”

Ah Mo then took a slight bow. “Rest early then, Grandfather. I’ll go over to take a look.” Then, he ran out to chase after her.

In the center of the bustling City Z, in the Emperor Hotel.

The marriage between the Qis and the Gus was huge news in the circle. There were many distinguished guests at the banquet between both families and the wedding banquet was grandiose.

Standing at the entrance of the Emperor Hotel, you could already see the grandness of it all from afar among a sea of fresh flowers, all sorts of congratulatory flower baskets and banners, and the red carpet that stretched from the stairs all the way up to the lobby. Usherettes dressed in pink qipaos stood on both sides. Engulfed by the dazzling lights, the whole scene looked quite dreamy.

As the guests streamed in, the plaza by the entrance was filled with cars.

All the guests entered with an invitation. There were staff members dressed in well-ironed black suits standing at the entrance to verify their identities.

The banquet was held in Phoenix Hall on the third floor of the Emperor Hotel. It was an extremely luxurious banquet hall. The space was so large that it could fit up to hundreds of people.

Night had just fallen at the moment. While the banquet would begin at 8 p.m., it was half-past 7 p.m. at the moment, and the entire hall was already filled with people seated at their tables. The stage upfront was exquisitely decorated luxuriously too. The waiters were busy serving drinks while the emcee busied himself on stage.

As the best man, Qi Lei wore a tailored suit as he sat in the wings by the stage. He was sweating in exhaustion. Many things at the banquet venue required his supervision, so he was not having it easy.

Yang Sheng considerately brought him a glass of iced water as he said, “Master Qi, you’re almost done now. You should rest for a bit. You’ll have more to work on after this!”

Panting, Qi Lei took the glass and drank a few gulps. “Have you arranged for all the things that should come first? Have the guests arrived? Are Mu Yuchen and the rest here?”

Qi Lei had called Mu Yuchen a few times already.

“The guests are all almost here. Only a few are left such as Chairman Mu, Master Mo, and a few more, but it’s not time yet. No need to be worried. Didn’t Chairman Mu already say that he’s left his place?” Even though Yang Sheng said that, he was actually slightly nervous on the inside.

“Hasn’t the bride and groom’s car arrived yet?” Qi Lei asked again as he stood up and looked down the stage. He did not see Qi Qiming, Gu Qiwu, and Doris as well. “Why haven’t the elders been seated yet?”

“Don’t worry, Master Qi. CEO Qi is here. He’s chatting with a few of the guests in the resting lounge. CEO Gu and Madam Gu aren’t here yet, but I’ve called them earlier to confirm, so they should be here soon,” Yang Sheng answered.

Qi Lei nodded and finished the glass of water in a few more gulps before returning it to Yang Sheng as he said, “Pay close attention, especially to the people on Morrison’s end.”

Qi Lei did not know why but he felt quite uneasy. He hoped that nothing bad would happen. Earlier in the morning when he was in the same car as Qi Feng, their conversation had not gone very well. He wanted to pry something out of him, but he did not get what he wanted in the end, so he forgot about it.

“Don’t worry, Master Qi. I understand. I’ve been watching them closely. If they make a move, our people will definitely notice it right away,” Yang Sheng responded. He hesitated before continuing, “I’m just worried that they’ll come up with an ambush!”

“Go take a look and let me catch my breath.”

Qi Lei wiped away the sweat on his forehead and caught his breath.

“Got it, Master Qi!” Yang Sheng responded before retreating.

Yang Sheng had only left for a while before there were the sounds of cheering from the front. When Qi Lei heard that, he quickly got up and looked ahead to see Gu Qiwu and Doris slowly making their way towards the VIP table, surrounded by several bodyguards.

Gu Qiwu wore a tailored black suit. His stern face contained a rare hint of tenderness as he was smiling and greeting the crowd.

Beside him was the exquisitely beautiful Doris! She wore an elegant, golden slip dress. Her blonde hair was tied up into a beautiful bun with pearl embellishments. Complete with a diamond necklace and a ring with an exquisite gem, she looked elegant and expensive from head to toe. Even though she was over 50 years old, time did not leave many traces on her. She did not look any different from those magnificently dazzling celebrities. In fact, the many famous celebrities present may not even compare to her beauty and charisma.

All eyes were on Doris’s beauty. Her appearance made everyone exclaim as they were stunned by her charm. Any man would go crazy for such a woman.

While Doris held Gu Qiwu’s arm gently, she waved to smile at the crowd. The smile on her face looked elegant and friendly. If he had not been in touch with Doris before, even Qi Lei would find himself being attracted to Doris.

At this moment, Qi Qiming and several guests came to receive them. They greeted each other eagerly before taking their seats.

Qi Lei thought about it before he got up to walk over too.

“Master Qi!”

Qi Lei had just walked over when the butler called out to him. Gu Qiwu, Doris, and Qi Qiming, who were chatting with one another, all turned their heads.
