Chapter 851: Official Announcement that Xia Wanyuan was a Wei Family Member
Old Madam Wei was stunned for a moment, and admiration appeared in her eyes. She was really satisfied with Xia Wanyuan, who was not afraid of any pressure.
Since she had already called her grandmother, Old Madam Wei did not plan to hide it anymore. She stood up, pulled Xia Wanyuan’s hand, and faced everyone.
“Let me introduce to everyone. This is my granddaughter, Xia Wanyuan.”
The hall was in an uproar. Looking at Xia Wanyuan, who was standing gracefully beside Old Madam Wei, everyone discussed.
“Why does the Wei family have another granddaughter?!”
“I know this person. She’s a little celebrity. This is too absurd. A little celebrity became a member of the Wei family in a flash?!”
“Ignoring everything else, she’s really beautiful.”
“Come, Wanyuan, come with me to get to know everyone.” After Old Madam Wei announced, she got the butler to pour a glass of wine for Xia Wanyuan. “Let’s toast to today’s guest, CEO Jun.”
Xia Wanyuan raised her glass at Jun Shiling. “To CEO Jun.”
Everyone thought that someone with Jun Shiling’s status would only nod to her. Who would have thought that Jun Shiling would actually pick up the wine glass in front of him and drink it in one gulp?
Even Old Madam Wei looked at Jun Shiling in surprise. After Jun Shiling finished his wine, he did not speak further. Old Madam Wei led Xia Wanyuan to introduce the guests at the main table.
“Alright, go back to the seat at the side.” Old Madam Wei put down her teacup.
Only then did everyone realize that there was an empty seat at the table filled with juniors of the Wei family. It was probably prepared for Xia Wanyuan.
There was a seat beside Yu Qian. Xia Wanyuan was not afraid of everyone’s scrutiny and sat graciously on the stool.
“Let the banquet begin!” With the butler’s announcement, the servants filed in with all sorts of plates. The rising heat and the fragrance of the food lingered in the entire hall.
“Sister Wanyuan, you’re so beautiful today.” Yu Qian turned his head slightly, his eyes smiling.
Xia Wanyuan ignored him, her gaze landing on a plate of roast duck on the table.
Yu Qian’s gaze quickly swept across Xia Wanyuan, who had only revealed her side profile to him. She was like jade, as textured as snow, and hazy as an ink painting.
For the first time, he felt that even without those ice-cold eyes, Xia Wanyuan was still shockingly beautiful.
“Don’t think that you’ve risen to fame. Let me tell you, a woman from a small family will never be able to climb to the top of the hall.” Wei Yu, who was sitting on Xia Wanyuan’s left, had a ball of fire in her heart from the moment she saw Jun Shiling accept Xia Wanyuan’s wine.
She was just an actress. Why should the Old Madam introduce her to everyone personally? Why was even a man like Jun Shiling willing to accept her wine?!?
Xia Wanyuan had just picked up a piece of roasted duck with her chopsticks. Upon hearing this, her chopsticks paused for a moment. “If you continue to be noisy, I dare to guarantee that you will eat an ugly meal today.”
Xia Wanyuan’s voice was cold. Thinking of how Xia Wanyuan had splashed coffee just now, Wei Yu snorted and stopped talking.
Yu Qian had also heard their conversation. He glanced at Xia Wanyuan’s cold side profile and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
When Wang Yuan, who was at the last table, saw the development of this matter, her eyes were about to fall. As the people beside her discussed, they occasionally cast mocking gazes on her.
She had just mocked Xia Wanyuan for never being able to become a phoenix. Now, not only was she a phoenix, but she was also the one shining in the phoenix pile.
An Rao was also stunned. She pinched Bo Xiao’s leg. “When did Yuan Yuan become a member of the Wei family?”
“It hurts. Take your claws away.” Bo Xiao looked at An Rao angrily. Everyone was looking at the main table, except for Bo Xiao, who was peeling prawns for An Rao with his head lowered.
“How does it hurt? You’re making a fuss.” An Rao snorted and removed her hand from Bo Xiao’s leg.
“Eat.” Bo Xiao placed the prawns in An Rao’s bowl and took off his gloves. He then took An Rao’s hand and placed it on his lap. “You can put it there, but you’re not allowed to pinch me.”
As she ate the fresh prawn meat, the corners of An Rao’s lips curled up. Her fingers hooked on Bo Xiao’s leg, causing Bo Xiao’s fox-like eyes to narrow.
