Chapter 1171: Banquet

Editor: Henyee Translations
Ever since Gu Yang had been tied up and unconscious, the outside world had been rife with speculation about her situation.

To celebrate her recovery and quell the rumors, the Xiao family held a special banquet in her honor. Given the sensitive nature of Utopia and the light cone experiment, the family’s official stance was that Gu Yang had been kidnapped by the Ning family as a means of threatening them.

While many in the industry were aware that the situation was far more complex, they chose to respect the Xiao family’s narrative and refrained from speaking out.

Ruan Meng also attended the banquet, representing the Bass family. The Bass family and the Lord Organization had successfully collaborated to eliminate the Katie family, and Cross was now firmly established as the Family Head.

With these developments, Ruan Meng had become the most respected young lady of the Bass

At the banquet.

Ruan Meng passed a document to Gu Yang.

Gu Yang took it in confusion and realized that it was a contract.

The content was that the Bass family’s spices in Continent M belonged to Gu Yang.

“So generous?” Gu Yang blinked.

Although Ruan Meng had previously promised that she could use the Bass family’s spice oil, it was completely different from giving her the entire spice production area.

Ruan Meng glanced at Feng Jue beside her. “This is the cousin-in-law’s condition.”

Lord cooperated with the Bass family to help them annex the Katie family. The condition was the ownership of the spices in Continent M.

Feng Jue wouldn’t suffer a loss at all.

Just as the banquet was bustling, Tong Rao brought Yan Xi over.

Everyone at the banquet was surprised. “Why is the Family Head of Tong Family here?”

After all, Tong Wan and Tong Rao were famous for not getting along. All these years, the Tong family had a close relationship with the Xiao family, but they seemed to have a tendency to never interact with each other.

What surprised them even more was that Tong Rao walked towards Tong Wan and Gu Yang.

Tong Wan also welcomed him with a smile.

The Tong family’s twin sisters, who had cut ties with each other for more than twenty years, suddenly let bygones be bygones.

Many people noticed Yan Xi, who was beside Tong Rao.

“Isn’t that the funny girl, Yan Xi, who has been quite popular recently? Why is she here?”

“Maybe it’s because she’s an artiste of Zhaofeng Entertainment?”

“But why is she with Tong Rao?”

Yan Xi had recently made a name for herself in the entertainment industry, but it was a little hard to explain how that situation looked like.

In Yan Xi’s words to her manager, Han Xi, she was clearly talented and beautiful, yet somehow ended up playing the role of a comedian.

As everyone was pondering this, they heard Yan Xi cheerfully call Gu Yang “cousin.”

“Now that my mother and your mother are on good terms, you should call me cousin, right?” she said, reaching out to touch Gu Yang’s thick, smooth hair.

“I’m Yangyang’s cousin,” Ruan Chu interjected, stepping in to pat Yan Xi’s hand away.

Yan Xi replied earnestly, “Sister Ruan Chu, while you may be a senior, I’m the biological cousin.”

Ruan Chu shot back, “Then I’m also Yangyang’s first cousin.”

Both Yan Xi and Ruan Chu had worked in the entertainment industry and were on good terms, despite their playful banter.

Ruan Meng observed their bickering and felt a sense of relief. “Lucky for you, you only have me as your cousin.”

Gu Jin, standing with Xiao Yize, merely swirled her red wine and glanced over at them, aware that she was Yangyang’s only sister but choosing not to flaunt that pride.

Gu Yang watched Ruan Chu and Yan Xi with a helpless smile. “Cousins, if you keep this up and the paparazzi catch you, the trending topic will be #MovieQueenRuanChu and the #NewStarletBanquet.”

Tong Rao was also at the banquet, ready to help Yan Xi clear her name. Yan Xi had officially become the legitimate eldest daughter of the Tong family.
