Chapter 451: Attend the Banquet (1)

Yu Xi couldn’t help but mutter to himself: “But… You didn’t even contact me during that time…”

It seemed as though he wasn’t as important as Qin Chuan to God Ling…

They had been teammates! Teammates that went from the ‘cradle to the grave!’ They had fought through the thick and thin!

When Yu Xi was driving, Jian Yiling was not idle in the passenger seat either.

She took out her small laptop and placed it on her lap.

Then, she started to type away on the keyboard.

While waiting for the red light, Yu Xi glanced at Jian Yiling’s computer screen. He ended up seeing a bunch of chemical symbols that he could not understand.

Ahhh… As expected from a medical student from a prestigious university…

“Oh, you’re in your third year for university right?”

“Nah, I skipped that. I’m a postgraduate student now,” Jian Yiling replied truthfully.

Yu Xi: “…”

Ahh… He should have thought of that… She hadn’t finished high school in the normal way. Should he have expected her to finish university in the proper way?

Jian Yiling was studying medicine. It was a course that would typically take at least eight years.

Jian Yiling was studying the postgraduate part of her degree already… And yet, he had only just started studying for his postgraduate degree.

“Oh, Master Sheng also graduated early,” Yu Xi said again. It seemed as though he was trying to ‘accidentally’ mention Zhai Yunsheng.

Although Zhai Yunsheng seemed like he typically wasted his days doing nothing, he still had the ability to achieve good marks.

Even if he took a break from university for a few months, he would still come back and achieve amazing marks for his exams.

This was the second time today that Yu Xi had deliberately mentioned Zhai Yunsheng. Yu Xi wanted to see how Jian Yiling reacted to Zhai Yunsheng’s name.

“Mhmm,” Jian Yiling replied. Her response was indifferent as usual.

Yu Xi didn’t see anything fishy about her response.

Ahhh, forget it. The two of them had abandoned him three years ago! He didn’t need to care about their business so much!

Then, Yu Xi started to ask Jian Yiling about something else: “Oh, by the way, did your brother not come back with you? Is his… Is his condition better?”

Jian Yiling had been away for too long. There were too many things that he didn’t know about her.

“His condition had gotten better. He just had other things to deal with lately.”

“That’s good,” Yu Xi replied.

As they had small talk, Yu Xi had already driven to the location of the Qin family banquet.

However, here came the problem.

Neither Yu Xi nor Jian Yiling had received an invitation to the banquet.

Although the Yu family was one of the largest families in Hengyuan City, his family background was still considered ordinary in the capital.

Yu Xi was close friends with Zhai Yunsheng. This meant that he could attend any party or banquet hosted by the Zhai family.

However, this was the Qin family. The Yu family was nothing in front of the Qin family.

This meant that the Qin family did not need to send an invitation to Yu Xi.

Yu Xi turned around and looked at Jian Yiling: “God Ling, do you have an invitation?”

Jian Yiling shook her head. She hadn’t received an invitation either. She had come to talk to Qin Chuan today on a whim.

At the time of her decision, Jian Yiling had been in the waiting hall of the airport.

And thus, it was too late for Qin Chuan to send her an invitation.

“Then, what do we do?” Yu Xi asked.

“I’ll ask him to come out for a bit,” Jian Yiling replied. She didn’t want to enter the banquet in the first place.

The staff in suits at the door heard the conversation between Yu Xi and Jian Yiling. There was a hint of a strange look in their eyes. However, out of politeness, they didn’t say anything.

Jian Yiling was dressed casually. The clothes she wore were not branded and looked cheap.

Even the clothes of the staff members that were standing at the door to check invitations seemed to cost more than hers.

A female guest who was standing behind Jian Yiling and Yu Xi shook her head and said in a serious tone:

“Little girl, you should be studying hard. Don’t think about coming to these places. This is not the place for you to be.”
