Chapter 434: 307

As night fell in Ming City, neon lights sparkled, and a hustle and bustle enveloped the interior and exterior of the Hongda hotel.

One by one, lavish cars of extraordinary value drove up to the entrance. The passengers who alighted were figures of elegance, all splendidly dressed and exhibiting either a calm grace or serene composure. Walking down the red carpet and extending their hands to the reporters on both sides, they would nod in acknowledgment.

Their faces conveyed the charitableness of philanthropists, but whether they were truly benevolent or merely pretending, only they knew.

Not just high-ranking executives and philanthropists, but many currently popular male and female celebrities were also in attendance. Among those in the entertainment industry, many considered the invitation to the Ya Family’s Charity Banquet as a recognition of their status.

This was seen as a form of encouragement - after all, celebrities indeed had substantial influence.

If Ya Yan were present, she’d probably recognize a familiar face here. Perhaps that person had already taken her advice to heart, and at least for now, more than half of her chest was decently covered than usual. However, the strapless gown she had on must have been rather chilly.

Thankfully, the temperature inside the hotel was maintained at a comfortable level.

The annual charity banquet organized by the Ya Family was an event that almost all of Ming City’s prominent figures were invited to. Everyone would grant the Ya family due respect. As long as the Ya Family extended an invitation, they would undoubtedly attend. Some wanted to establish connections with the Ya Family as it offered certain substantial benefits.

Of course, some smaller businesses that did not receive an invitation were also eager to find ways into this gathering of influential figures; after all, this was a rare chance to meet entrepreneurs and even senior patriarchs from large families who preferred keeping out of the public eye under normal circumstances.

The banquet hall on the fifth floor was resplendent with countless lights. Elegantly dressed women and smartly attired men were engaging in lively conversations. Young ladies and gentlemen from various affluent families were also present, accompanied by their parents. Everywhere one looked, there was a display of extreme luxury and incomparable nobility; it was an exceedingly lively atmosphere.

Both the attendees and the banquet hall itself exuded dazzling luxury and splendid opulence.

As she elegantly entered the banquet hall, Sun Yao walked next to Jiang Tiantian, looking at her with a worried expression, "How have you been these past few days?" The thing that Jiang Tiantian shared with her earlier was unbelievably shocking. It was rather amusing thinking of someone like Jiang Tiantian pushing men away at crucial moments.

She had pondered upon it for numerous days and even queried others on the internet, but to no avail. She had never come across such symptoms before.

Although she despised Mu Lin, this time, perhaps, she should genuinely thank her because inadvertently, this had avenged some of her past grievances.

Despite her thick layer of makeup, Jiang Tiantian’s pallid face couldn’t hide her fatigue. On hearing Sun Yao’s question, her frown deepened, "I will absolutely not spare that woman named Mu Lin." A sinister smile crept upon Jiang Tiantian’s face.

Just wait and see; she swore to make Mu Lin wish for death. Of course, before that, she had to rid herself of whatever this strange affliction was.

Looking at the gloom on Jiang Tiantian’s face, the corners of Sun Yao’s lips slightly lifted. It seemed that today’s banquet will be a lot more exciting than anticipated.

A charity banquet, on top of that, a major news scoop might be waiting to explode.

The Xiao family and the Hong family arrived together. Not only Hong Mingsheng, but the senior members of the Hong and Xiao families were present. This surprised many attendees. The Hong and Xiao family patriarchs barely left their homes these days, but surprisingly they appeared at this banquet today. Especially the patriarch of the Hong family. Though the Hong family’s enterprise was even greater than the Xiao’s, Hong Da had already handed everything to Hong Mingsheng. But this was not the case for the Xiao family.

The patriarch of the Xiao family simply could not bring himself to entrust his son with all the powers. He didn’t trust him.

"Let’s go and check if Mu Lin has arrived," his eyes had been searching for her from the moment he walked in but there was no sign of her.

"Sure," Xiao Feng nodded. He didn’t really want to stay with these people around him as he considered it to be bad luck.

Watching Xiao Feng get ready to leave, his father, Xiao Ming, dryly remarked, "Don’t cause any trouble here. If you do, nobody will come to your aid." Coldly huffing, Xiao Ming gaze at his son didn’t waver, filled with nothing but scorn and revulsion.
