Chapter 638: Chapter 638: A Tit-for-tat Confrontation at the Banquet (1)_1

The elders of the Qin Family were visibly younger.

Standing before him like this, anyone unaware would think they were even younger than he was!

Moreover, they were able to have a healthy child in their seventies.

This filled the elderly Chen Wancai with immense envy.

If there truly were some secret to longevity, he would be willing to spend any amount of money!

"There isn’t really any secret; we just live in a place with good mountains, water, and air. Go to bed early, rise early, work on the farm, and with a good mood, the body will naturally be well," the old master Qin replied.

Of course, it was impossible to have a baby as cute and well-behaved as their darling Susu. Chen Wancai need not even think about it.

While the Qin elders were happily conversing with Chen Wancai, Chu Heng, accompanied by Chu Yanxi, entered the Chen Family’s grand hall.

Looking at the glittering banquet hall, Chu Yanxi was momentarily dazed.

She couldn’t recall how long it had been since she last attended such a gathering.

In her previous life, after Lin Yushan divorced her father, she no longer had such opportunities.

After that, not to mention being invited, she didn’t even have a dress suitable for wearing to a banquet.

Most people at the banquet didn’t know Chu Heng, so after they entered, nobody approached him to strike up a conversation.

Chu Heng looked around and spotted the Qin elders chatting with Chen Wancai in a corner, and led Chu Yanxi over to them.

"Mr. Chen."

Hearing the voice, Chen Wancai turned around, saw Chu Heng, and greeted him with a smile, "Ah, Mr. Chu has arrived!"

"Mr. Chen’s invitation is a great honor. How could I not come?" Chu Heng was all smiles.

"You’re too modest, Mr. Chu," Chen Wancai observed Chu Heng and commented, "It’s really unexpected; Mr. Chu is so young yet possesses such a calm demeanor. You managed to keep your new company under wraps until it made such a big splash."

"Not at all, we had to reveal it prematurely due to some issues at the main company," Chu Heng replied.

"Mr. Chu, don’t be modest. For someone to have caught Mr. Gu’s senior eye, there must certainly be something exceptional about you," Chen Wancai praised.

"There’s nothing special," Chu Heng chuckled, deliberately not specifying his relationship with Mr. Gu, "By the way, Mr. Chen, I heard your company is looking for partners for a new product?"

"That’s the case indeed," while answering Chu Heng’s question, Chen Wancai’s gaze floated unconsciously toward the Qin elders a couple of times.

The Qin elders, however, were very calm, all smiles, their attention mostly on their precious daughter, as if they weren’t intently listening to Chen Wancai’s conversation with Chu Heng.

While Chen Wancai spoke with Chu Heng, Chu Yanxi was looking at Susu.

The delicate little gown was a custom design from a top luxury brand.

Such custom designs for children’s clothing are even harder to get than those for adults.

The small white rabbit pendant around her neck was of high-quality ice jade; the string of small beads on her hand was of the same type of jade.

The cherry brooch pinned on the dress featured rubies for the cherries and peridot for the stems.

And she herself... Chu Yanxi looked down at her own ordinary dress, just a slightly more expensive brand found in department stores.

A feeling of jealousy began to well up within Chu Yanxi.

Qin Susu had unwittingly become her imaginary rival, and seeing the vast chasm between them made her heart feel as though it were being seared repeatedly on a scorching hot iron plate.

As Chu Yanxi pondered, Chen Wancai’s gaze suddenly fell upon her...
