Return as the king, but only want to protect her

Chapter 22 Three Major Events

Qin's compound.

A black Rolls-Royce slowly pulled up to the door.

"Excuse me, who are you looking for?"

Zhou Yucui opened the door and saw a young man in a suit and tie, and he spoke much more politely.

The young man smiled slightly: "Hello, ma'am, Mr. Su sent me to pick up Miss Qin to go to the Starlight Garden Hotel for a dinner."

"Starlight Garden Hotel? Mr. Su? The richest Su family?" Zhou Yucui was startled at first, but when she saw the other party nod, she was immediately overjoyed.

In the past few days, the news that the Starlight Garden Hotel was going to hold a banquet had spread throughout Jiangzhou. The guests were all celebrities in Jiangzhou, but unexpectedly, the Su family would come to pick up their daughter in person.

Zhou Yucui warmly invited the young man into the house and handed him over to Qin Dayong for reception. She then hurried to her daughter's room.

"The Su family sent someone to pick us up to go to the Starlight Garden Hotel for a dinner. It must be the engagement party for you and the eldest son of the Su family," Zhou Yucui said excitedly.

Qin Yi, who was snuggling in bed watching a play, was also shocked when she heard this. "So soon?"

"He's waiting downstairs, why are you still dawdling?" Zhou Yucui urged.

"Ah..."

Qin Yi screamed excitedly, slipping out of the covers and hurriedly getting ready.

"Mom, when is Daddy coming home? I miss him."

In the other room, Xiaoxiao, playing with the small pendant around her neck, suddenly asked pitifully.

Ever since Yang Chen sent her home three days ago, he hasn't returned. These past few days, she's been feeling very upset. It wasn't until Xiaoxiao asked about her father that she suddenly realized that the reason for her turmoil was because of that man.

She was terrified. It was like five years ago again, when he left without saying goodbye, and five years had passed since then.

"Dad's busy. He'll be home when he's done." Qin Xi hugged Xiaoxiao tightly.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in her mind: the man who had held her in his arms as she left the Qin family in the rain. Perhaps she would never forget the warmth of his arms.

"Xiaoxi, the Su family has sent someone to pick us up for Yiyi and the eldest son's engagement party. Hurry and pack! As the bride's family, we can't be absent."

Mother and daughter were missing Yang Chen when Zhou Yucui suddenly rushed in.

An hour later, the mother, daughter, and little princess arrived.

The young driver who had been sent to pick them up was stunned by the sight of these beautifully dressed figures, but only for a moment before he quickly looked away. This was a VIP guest that even Chairman Su valued highly; he dared not glance.

The Xingguang Garden Hotel was bustling with activity today, with all the upper echelons of Jiangzhou invited.

The parking lot was already filled with luxury cars worth tens of millions.

Old Master Qin stepped out of an Audi worth over one million yuan. A Rolls-Royce was parked on one side of the Audi, and a Bentley on the other.

"Let's go!"

Old Master Qin urged, fearing anyone would see his car.

"Grandpa, Su Chengwu's car is here!"

As the Qin family exited the parking lot, they saw a Rolls-Royce with license plate number Jiang A88888 parked outside the hotel.

Grandpa Qin quickly said, "Xiaofei, come with me and say hello to Director Su."

Arriving in front of the car, the two men bent slightly like lapdogs, waiting for Su Chengwu to exit.

The next moment, the smiles on Grandpa Qin and Qin Fei's faces froze.

Qin Xi's family emerged from the car and spotted them. Zhou Yucui, already furious at being expelled from the family, felt a surge of relief when she saw the grandfather and grandson's gestures.

"Grandpa Qin, thank you for issuing the family head's order to expel us. Otherwise, we'd have more useless relatives in the future. You know, after marrying into a wealthy family, the biggest fear is harassment from poor relatives," Zhou Yucui said deliberately, her words dripping with sarcasm.

"What do you mean?" Grandpa Qin asked coldly.

"So you didn't know?"

Zhou Yucui said with a smug look on her face. "Two weeks ago, the Su family came in person and presented a very valuable betrothal gift. Oh, and there's also a villa with a view of the sun, moon, and stars. We're planning to move in soon! As for that old Qin house, it's so run-down and dilapidated. How can it possibly be worthy of my daughter marrying into the richest family?"

"You, ahem..."

"Grandpa!"

Zhou Yucui's words were so venomous that Old Man Qin nearly fainted from anger. The Qin family quickly surrounded her.

Zhou Yucui finally let out a sigh of relief and suddenly felt a sense of relief.

The family, led by the hotel receptionist, unexpectedly took seats in the front row.

This scene astonished countless wealthy families in Jiangzhou, who were eager to inquire about the family's identities.

At a banquet of this level, those who could sit in the front row had to be either wealthy or noble.

"Excuse me, where are our seats?"

Qin Fei asked, pulling a receptionist over when no one was there to greet them.

The beautiful receptionist took the invitation, glanced at it, and then said coldly, "It says table numbers on it. Don't you know how to count?"

The Starlight Hotel was owned by the Su family, and even the receptionist was too much for the Qin family to offend. They could only remain angry but silent. The Qin family

easily found a table, right at the entrance to the lobby. The table was noticeably smaller than the other tables, and the chairs were simple wooden.

But the Qin family didn't seem to mind at all, instead taking pride in their access to the hotel. Many people looked at the Qin family as if they were idiots.

At 8:00 sharp, the dinner officially began.

Melodious music filled the air, and the host took the stage.

After a welcoming speech, the host smiled and said, "I've invited you all here today to announce three important things."

Because the invitation had been sent anonymously, no one knew the organizers until now.

Everyone perked up at the host's words.

"First, the Jiangzhou branch of Yanchen Group officially begins operations today. We have entered into a long-term partnership with Sanhe Group. We hope you'll keep your eyes on us!"

The announcement sent the entire crowd into a frenzy.

No one present didn't know about the Sanhe Group, because the most beautiful woman in Jiangzhou was once the chairman of this company.

But now this company is controlled by the Qin family. Is the small Qin family qualified to cooperate with the Yanchen Group?

If the Yanchen Group and the Qin family are on good terms, why is the Qin family arranged to the last position?

Just when everyone was puzzled, the faces of the Qin family suddenly became very ugly.

It was not until this moment that they realized that the reason they were also invited here was not because some force valued the potential of the Qin family, but because they were invited to humiliate them.

"Grandpa, they are bullying too much!" Qin Fei said angrily with red eyes.

"Shut up!"

Old Master Qin's face was utterly gloomy. "Even if it's an insult to the Qin family, since you've come, you must endure it. If you dare to cause trouble in public, after tonight, there will be no Qin family left in Jiangzhou."

"Our Su family also hopes to cooperate with Sanhe Group. "

Before anyone could recover, Su Chengwu's voice suddenly rang out.

"My Wang family hopes to cooperate with Sanhe Group!"

"My Zhang family is willing to cooperate with Sanhe Group!"

"My Li family is also willing to cooperate with Sanhe Group!"

...

As soon as Su Chengwu finished speaking, several figures emerged one after another, each one a lord of a major wealthy family.

The expressions on the faces of the Qin family were extremely grim. Sanhe Group, which had just offered compensation three days ago, suddenly had so many wealthy families actively seeking cooperation. After tonight, its market value would likely increase several times over.

"Everyone, after the banquet, you can discuss the cooperation with Sanhe Group. Now, let's move on to the second matter." The beautiful host's voice suddenly spoke, finally calming the wave of cooperation.

"Today is the wedding anniversary of a couple. For some reason, they were forced to marry, but the husband, feeling unworthy of his wife, left without saying goodbye. He's been gone for five years."

"Three days ago, at the Night City Club auction, a mysterious man, with his domineering tactics, repeatedly bid high prices for most of the jewelry collection, including a Pink Star diamond ring worth 500 million yuan. And he is the husband!"

"Wow!"

At that moment, the curtains behind the host suddenly parted, revealing more than a dozen glass display cases before everyone's gaze.

Each one held an exquisite piece of jewelry.

"It's the jewelry that was auctioned off three days ago!" someone exclaimed.

"The Starry Tear necklace, the Pink Star diamond ring..."

All the jewelry that was auctioned off at the Night City Club that night was now on display, and each piece was incredibly valuable.

Jiangzhou has no shortage of billionaires, but few are willing to spend billions on such items.

Countless Jiangzhou celebrities and noblewomen gazed at the exquisite pieces of jewelry with envy. Owning any one of them, let alone so many, would be enough for them to brag about for a lifetime.

Qin Xi, sitting at the front row, also had a hint of envy in her eyes, muttering, "This wife is so lucky!"

"Isn't today your and his wedding anniversary?"

Qin Yi suddenly asked, then smiled. "Sister, the husband the host is talking about, couldn't that be Yang Chen? These things are all prepared for you?"

Qin Xi's face was bitter, and she shook her head, saying nothing.

"You stupid girl, what are you talking about? If Yang Chen can afford these jewelry, I'll tear my head off and use it as a bench for him to sit on." Zhou Yucui glared at Qin Yi angrily.

"Mom, you said it! Don't regret it later," Qin Yi said.

"You're still getting excited!" Zhou Yucui scolded with a smile.

At this moment, the host's impassioned voice rang out again.

"Five years ago, due to poverty, this husband didn't give any gifts. To make up for that regret, these things will all be given to his wife. Now let us witness this happy moment together!"

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Several beams of light suddenly fell together.

Where the lights converged was the extremely beautiful woman in the front.
