In the evening, a famous hotel in S city, Supreme Banquet Hall.
All the guests dressed up tonight were invited to attend the engagement party between Du Qianli, the president of Qihe Group, and Zhou Xuan, the eldest daughter of the Zhou family.
Qihe Group can only be regarded as an upper-middle-class enterprise in City S. It can barely be ranked among the top 100 enterprises in the city. It has always felt like it is not above or below.
The Zhou family, who is married to the Du family, cannot even get into the top 100. It is a family that does chain business, but it is a leader among chain companies. To put it bluntly, it is down-to-earth and makes a lot of money.
It is the money of ordinary consumers, and such a company is actually very powerful.
However, the history of the Zhou family's fortune is a bit disgraceful. It was an industry that was whitewashed in the later period. I heard that it is still wandering between black and white, with many gray industries, and its back is not as clean as that of a family who started a serious business.
The Du family chose to marry the Zhou family. On the surface, it seemed that the Zhou family was superior to the Du family, but in terms of actual benefits, it was the Du family that took advantage.
The two families can be regarded as mutually beneficial, each getting what they need. Anyway, marriage is like this. Without benefits, marriage will be meaningless.
At such an engagement banquet, everyone has long been numb to participating in it, and there are not many sincere congratulations to the unmarried couples who are about to get engaged. This is not because they are stingy, but because it is impossible for such married couples to have feelings.
When Xiao Zhiyi and Su Yi got out of the car, they happened to meet An Zhisu and Ji Yunqi's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law at the door. Xiao Zhiyi ran over and took An Zhisu's arm: "Aunt An, you are also here for the engagement party.
?”
"I'm bored at home, so come and see the excitement."
An Zhisu looked at her up and down and praised: "She looks beautiful tonight."
After all, he was here to attend a banquet, and Xiao Zhiyi couldn't embarrass the Su family. Before coming, he asked the makeup artist of the production crew to do the makeup, style, dress and jewelry all sent by Su Yi.
"I just have a concave look, but Aunt An is beautiful. You must have made this cheongsam yourself. It is so beautiful. I have never seen such a beautiful cheongsam, and I have never seen anyone who can wear a cheongsam so beautifully."
Xiao Zhiyi's mouth is very sweet.
Everyone likes to hear nice words. An Zhisu smiled and said: "Do you like cheongsam? Come to my house another day and I will give you one."
"Yeah, thank you Aunt An, then I'll be disrespectful."
Xiao Zhiyi accepted it generously.
After chatting for a while at the door, the four of them went in together.
Su Yi came in alone with three top beauties, instantly attracting the attention of everyone.
Needless to say, Ji Yunqi's face is a big star. There are not many people here who don't recognize him.
Not to mention An Zhisu, this woman with the title of first lady in the business world is known to everyone.
Su Yi is also familiar. Although he doesn't often appear at major banquets, Second Young Master Su's face is still recognized by many people.
The only unfamiliar face was Xiao Zhiyi, but seeing her holding hands closely with Su Yi, everyone guessed her identity.
To be honest, the Du family and the Zhou family are engaged, and it is really surprising that they can invite the Su family and the Ye family. I feel that no one can match these two families.
Even Mr. Du was shocked when he heard about it, and he quickly led his people out to greet An Zhisu. He warmly entertained An Zhisu: "I don't know that Mrs. Ye is coming here. It would be disrespectful to greet her from afar, disrespectful and disrespectful."
"Mr. Du, you're welcome."
An Zhisu looked indifferent. If Ji Yunqi hadn't begged to come, she wouldn't have bothered to condescend to him. It wasn't that she was arrogant, but she had heard about the old man's family history and was a little disdainful.
Mr. Du didn't mind An Zhisu's attitude at all and invited her to sit inside. An Zhisu came with his daughter-in-law to see the excitement. He didn't want to be disturbed, so he went to the second floor and chose a resting place overlooking the first floor.
District sat down.
"Mr. Du, you are busy, I don't need anyone to accompany you here."
After sitting down, An Zhisu dismissed Mr. Du.
Mr. Du was really busy, so he didn't bother him. He asked the waiter to wait on him, and then he took his wife to greet other guests.
Xiao Zhiyi was a little strange and asked Su Yi: "Why didn't you see Du Qianli and his parents?"
The parties involved in the engagement were not here, nor were the parents, so it was only the grandparents who hosted the reception. It was strange.
Su Yi didn't know much about the population of the Du family, so he turned to ask An Zhisu: "Does Du Qianli have parents?"
"What's your problem? Who can live without parents? It's not like they just jumped out of a rock."
An Zhisu laughed before saying, "I heard they all died."
"died!"
Xiao Zhiyi was quite shocked.
"Well, it happened many years ago. At that time, the Du family was not as big as it is now. I have heard about it, but I don't know the details."
An Zhisu said that she doesn't like gossip, but every time she attends a banquet, she always hears others gossiping.
"I know, I know, I asked specifically."
Ji Yunqi leaned forward and lowered his voice slightly: "Du Qianli's mother died in a car accident, and his father was forced to death by Mr. Du."
Xiao Zhiyi gasped: "No way, is this his biological father?"
Su Yi was also quite surprised. She had nothing to do, so she urged Ji Yunqi: "Third sister-in-law, please tell me what's going on."
"Just talking about this could make a TV series happen."
Ji Yunqi told them the news he had learned.
The most famous person in the Du family is Mr. Du's father. The old man is a famous surgeon and the founder of Qihe Hospital. He has two sons, one is Mr. Du, and the other is now Qihe Hospital.
Dean of.
Dean Du inherited the old man's mantle and devoted himself to medicine.
But Mr. Du insisted on giving up medicine and going into business. He wanted to do business. Regardless of the old man's objection, he entered the shopping mall and established Qihe Company.
Seeing that he could not stop his eldest son, and fearing that he would destroy the hospital he worked so hard to run, the old man divided the homes between his two sons. Qihe Hospital was given to the younger son, and the rest was given to the eldest son. The eldest son could do whatever he wanted.
.
Mr. Du is also a businessman. His company gradually grew and he even married his current wife, who is an only daughter. After his father-in-law passed away, he merged with his father-in-law's company and established the current Qihe Group. It can be said that he is
We are what we are today thanks to the Yue family.
In order to further strengthen the group, he wanted to repeat the same trick and let his son marry an only daughter so that he could inherit the company from his in-laws' family in the future.
But Du Qianli's father was already in love with his mother at that time, and the relationship between the two was very good, but Du's father disagreed life and death.
Mr. Du even disagreed with his son marrying a woman from a poor family, so the father and son broke up. Du's father left the Du family, married Du's mother, and gave birth to a son.
However, Mr. Du did not recognize the identity of his daughter-in-law and grandson, and he continued to suppress the living space of Du's father and Du's mother, making it impossible for them to survive in S city. The couple finally had no choice but to leave S city with their son.
But things are unpredictable. Du Mu had a car accident the day before leaving S city and died without being rescued.
Du's father collapsed overnight, and Mr. Du took his son and grandson home.
Not long after, Mr. Du forced his son to marry someone else and threatened Du's father with Du Qianli.
Father Du was so disheartened that he locked himself and his son in the room, lit a fire, and took his son to find his wife.
In the end, Du Qianli was rescued, but Du's father was buried in the fire. Du Qianli lost his parents when he was only three years old that year.
