Chapter 4: The Dinner of the Wealthy

As night falls, the Ritz-Carlton's ballroom on the top floor is brightly lit. Luxuriously dressed celebrities weave through the streets, going about their social activities like fish in water.

The 65th anniversary of the Qintian Foundation is really grand.

"Mr. Tang and Mrs. Tang can come, it is really a puffy wall, please come inside. Leng Yingzi stood at the door of the banquet hall in the posture of the future young grandmother of the Qin family, wearing a generously cut red shaved shoulder dress, the end of the skirt was slightly dragged to the floor, and her hair was simply coiled up with a ruby hairpin. The only ornaments are the two simple ruby earrings on the ears. Undoubtedly, tonight she is noble and charming. Like a gorgeous red rose, it is incomprehensible.

Qin Fengyan, who was standing opposite her, was wearing a black dress, and the well-fitting Seiko handmade dress gave him a more brilliant dignity and nobility than anyone else, handsome and exquisite, not like ordinary products.

Many celebrities and ladies who came to the banquet tonight kept their eyes on Qin Fengyan from time to time. Tonight, he was so perfect that it was admirable and suffocating.

Qin Zhiyi and his wife Wang Xiaolei also circled among the guests, warmly entertaining.

Of course, the most eye-catching thing in the audience is the old lady Qin's step-room lilac, the lilac sixty miles away knows that she is old and decrepit, not as glamorous as Wang Xiaolei and Leng Yingzi, so she can only work her line, Lao Ai dresses herself up like a Kaiping peacock, and the towering bun is like a wig, which is a little funny. Still, the jewelry she wears adds a lot of lust to her.

Among the valuable Chinese Americans in the United States, there are eight out of ten first-class jewelry, and cloves are one of them.

Almost no one has ever seen her wear a set of diamond jewels repeatedly. The weight of those jade stones that flow in the light is always so large that the myopic can see it clearly.

Old lady Qin's romance is well-known in the industry, except for the late Mrs. Qin Zhao Fenfang, who is famous, the rest of the concubines or rather affairs, most of them are people in the party, and the most visible ones are those film and television artists.

As one of the many women raised by Mrs. Qin, Lilac can be justifiably raised as the wife of the main room, and her scenery is among the ranks of the upper class, not because of how high her own wrists are, but because she gave birth to a good son, Qin Zhiyi.

Qin Zhiyi ranks third in the ranking of the Qin family's brothers, and the above two elder brothers, Qin Zhixin and Qin Zhichu, were both born to the original wife Zhao Fenfang.

It is also strange to say, in addition to the eldest son Qin Zhixin and the second son Qin Zhichu born to the original wife, there are countless illegitimate children raised by the old lady Qin outside, it is rumored that more than 20 years ago, almost every three years, a woman brought her children to the door to ask for status, but none of them succeeded.

In the eyes of this kind of old lady Qin, who is focused on fame and fortune and upbringing, he doesn't care about the children of the concubine at all.

Although the old lady Qin is romantic, she also attaches great importance to the concept of the family, and has great respect for the wife who was born into a famous family, and has also publicly stated that everything in the Qin family will only be inherited by him and his wife's two sons.

But it just so happened that the year when Ding Xiang Huai Qin Zhiyi was in the midst of the global financial crisis, the ** composite index plummeted, the stock price was pressed very low, and it was on the verge of crashing, and the news newspapers reported almost every two or three days which family's wealthy giants failed in business, jumping off the building, and burning charcoal, so it was not miserable.

I don't know if it's providence or coincidence, not long after Qin Zhiyi was born, the old lady Qin seemed to have gone lucky, investing in what to make and what to earn, stocks that everyone was not optimistic about, once in his hands, they immediately became blue chips, because of proper investment, the shares of Qin Tian's consortium rose sharply in that recessionary era, and the old lady Qin also became a legend in the business world that year, causing a sensation in the city.

For the traditional and superstitious old lady Qin, Qin Zhiyi is undoubtedly his lucky star, and his love is more than his life. So, as soon as Zhao Fenfang died, he couldn't wait to straighten the cloves, and rightfully connected Qin Zhiyi to the Qin family.

Since Old Lady Qin loves Qin Zhiyi so much, why did she skip this son and choose the third-generation grandson Qin Fengyan as the heir to the consortium? The reason for this starts with Qin Zhixin, the eldest son of Old Lady Qin, that is, Qin Fengyan's father.

Among the many children of Old Lady Qin, Qin Zhixin is the most diligent and capable, because he is the son of the famous lady Zhao Fenfang, and because he is the eldest son and grandson of the Qin family, so Old Lady Qin does not attach much importance to him no less than Qin Zhiyi.

Originally, the father was kind and filial to the son, and the family was happy, but after Zhao Fenfang's death, the old lady Qin wanted to straighten the cloves, so he asked the two sons to discuss, but the two sons were unanimously opposed.

Old lady Qin has always been a hegemonist in his life, he has always been a hegemon, he has ever been constrained by others, especially his own sons, and it is just out of respect to consult with them, but since the attitude of his sons is so tough, then there is no need for him to talk to them anymore.

So even though Qin Zhixin's brother was so angry that he almost turned his face, the old lady Qin went to Canada with Lilac for a make-up wedding more than a year after his wife's death, and connected Qin Zhiyi's mother and son to the ancestral house.

Qin Zhixin is also a tough-tempered person, seeing that his father is bent on going his own way, in anger, he broke with his father and left the Qin family with his wife and children.

Unexpectedly, on the way to the airport, a sudden car accident caught the husband and wife killed, and the son Qin Fengyan survived under the desperate protection of his mother.

When Old Lady Qin received the news, she fainted on the spot.

It's just that overnight, the old lady Qin seems to be ten years old, it is said that he was sick and stayed in front of the bed of his grandson Qin Fengyan, who was seriously injured and unconscious, and kept confessing his mistakes.

Later, Qin Fengyan recovered and was discharged from the hospital, and grew up in the compensatory doting of Old Lady Qin, because in the process of growing up, he gradually showed the genius of business and the style of a smart and calm king, which made Old Lady Qin even more fond of this grandson.

But the person who really determined the status of Qin Fengyan's heir was Wang Xiaolei.

There are three things that a wealthy family like the Qin family that has been rich for five generations is most afraid: first, there is discord between brothers and sisters, and they are all grinding their fists for the division of family property. The second is that the daughter-in-law refuses to have children, and does not accept the children of her husband's affair. The third is to ask for a daughter-in-law who is not careful, including film and television stars, which makes the older generation shocking and reluctant.

Qin Zhiyi obviously committed the third point, Wang Xiaolei was He Mutian's mistress, this is well known in high society, He Mutian is also a nouveau riche who started from the underworld and made a fortune in the gambling industry, even if he is rich, but in the eyes of the Qin family, who ranks among the six major families, it is not Erer.

Marrying his mistress as a daughter-in-law is a humiliation for Old Lady Qin, not to mention bringing a drag oil bottle into the door. Raising an illegitimate daughter for someone else is simply a fantasy for the old lady Qin, who regards his fame as higher than the sky.

Because of this, he and Qin Zhiyi didn't know how many times they had quarrels. At the most intense time, Qin Zhiyi also learned from his eldest brother, packed his things and ran away from home.

Although Old Lady Qin had many children, he never looked at any of his concubines other than these three sons.

Xu is too fond of Qin Zhiyi, Xu is too old to bear the blow of losing his son, although he is reluctant, he still accepted his fate, and his son married this woman who insulted the lintel of his house.

Although his son got married, his heart for this son was also cold, and he felt that he was too childlike and difficult to be magnificent, so he publicly said that the heir of the consortium would be Qin Fengyan.

Therefore, although Qin Zhiyi is the assistant general manager, Mrs. Qin has not let him participate in several major decisions of the company in recent years.

People who have never been able to enter the core decision-making team will naturally not become the heirs of the consortium, and over the years, Qin Zhiyi has also seen through what his father thinks, and he is his rich idler with peace of mind.

Because of Qin Zhixin's death, Mrs. Qin has always been obsessed with Fuzheng Lilac, and because of Qin Zhiyi's madness with Wang Xiaolei, Mrs. Qin has no good impression of this kind of woman who is not a lady.

It can be seen from the past that the old lady Qin, who was twice frustrated due to her own marriage problems and that of her children, attaches great importance to the marriage of the heir Qin Fengyan.

At tonight's banquet, seeing that Qin Fengyan and Leng Yingzi were talented and beautiful, and they were in and out of pairs, Old Lady Qin was very comforted, and he had been smiling since the beginning of the banquet.

The Leng family and the Qin family are world friends, Leng Yingzi and Qin Fengyan are childhood sweethearts, although the last family change, the fact that Leng Yingzi abandoned Qin Fengyan and ignored it is infuriating, but the winner is the king and the loser is Kou, this has always been the immutable law of social survival, Leng Yingzi's departure undoubtedly made Qin Fengyan more clearly realize that in this deceitful high society, there is only desire, no true feelings, and if you want to keep your beloved woman, you must become richer and more powerful.

Now that things have changed, Qin Fengyan has become the helmsman of the consortium again, Leng Yingzi should also return to Qin Fengyan's side, although the Leng family obviously has this intention, but Qin Fengyan ......

Thinking of Qin Fengyan and Late Autumn walking so close a few days ago, Old Lady Qin felt uneasy, no matter what Leng Yingzi's character is, marrying a lady is better than those illegitimate daughters with unclear net worth, Late Autumn is not unlikable, get along for several years, the old lady is also full of joy for this sunny and cheerful girl, but when it comes to being the granddaughter-in-law of the Qin family, she is not suitable, but if Qin Fengyan likes her, after marriage, it is okay for them to become a small family outside. He believes that Leng Yingzi is a person who knows the general need for fame and fortune, and will not be embarrassed by this kind of thing Qin Fengyan, as long as he is willing to give in in late autumn, then everything will be happy, after all, a man also needs a woman who loves him wholeheartedly.

Looking at his grandson who was standing at the door as cold as ice, Old Lady Qin sighed, since Qin Fengyan still had a pimple in his heart and didn't want to take the initiative to get close to the beauty, then let him, the old man, find a way.
