Chapter 48 - 48 The Mayor
48 The Mayor
“You two, your names are not on the invitation list.” The waiter bowed to Sheng Guang and En Cai. “I’m really sorry, Wanwan.”
En Cai frowned. “But this is an invitation from Miss Guo.”
“Mr. Guo Ming has told me that I can only let the people on the list in, not to mention the fact you are dressed strangely.” The waiter looked at him and sized him up.
Just as En Cai was about to lose his temper, Guo Hu came over and blocked the waiter, “Please come in. The waiter didn’t understand my father’s meaning. Guo Miao’s guests are also our Guo family’s guests.”
Guo Hu looked very polite. En Cai nodded to him and helped Sheng Guang into the banquet hall.
“Miss Guo’s brother is quite polite. I wonder what the master told the waiter to do. This waiter is really rude,” En Cai ridiculed with a pout.
En Cai’s family was also a well-known family in country K. Country K was a place that paid more attention to etiquette, so it was inconceivable for a waiter to speak so callously.
Sheng Guang shook his head and sighed. “I know the scale of the Guo family in Haicheng. It’s impossible for them to be as big as your family’s tycoons. Just bear with it.”
Indeed, he had to endure it. As soon as he entered the banquet hall, Sheng Guang heard a lot of discussions.
They were just debating their clothing and the fact that he was blind.
Some people even walked towards him with a glass of wine, as if they were trying to confirm if he was really blind.
“These people are really rude,” En Cai said.
At this moment, Guo Fu brought Xuxu into the banquet hall. Although they were wearing gowns that were personally designed by En Cai, they still looked a little reserved.
There were also some people from small families around who looked at Guo Fu with disdain.
“These people really look down upon the poor and exalt the rich.” En Cai shook his head.
As the two spoke, Cheng Yu walked onto the stage with her son and daughter.
Although Guo Lin didn’t have Guo Miao’s otherworldly temperament, she was still considered a pretty daughter of a humble family. After an afternoon of elaborate makeup and dressing, she was certainly considered stunning.
Guo Hu was wearing a slim suit, and his whole temperament was sunny and handsome, naturally attracting many people.
The Guo family members looked calm, but Cheng Yu was extremely anxious.
‘Why hasn’t Guo Miao appeared yet? Is she really trying to cause trouble?’
Guo Ming stood below the stage and walked towards the stage. He was the angriest person in the audience. ‘Guo Miao really doesn’t fathom the importance of this occasion.’
The Guos had worked hard to raise her and even gave her a chance to enter the upper class, but she actually ran away at the last minute. Guo Ming then decided that he would teach his biological daughter a lesson when he got back.
Just as Cheng Yu was about to announce the start of the banquet, there was a sudden commotion at the door.
Cheng Yu looked towards the door, searching for Guo Miao’s figure.
She didn’t expect that it would be Mayor Zhong Heng instead of Guo Miao!
The mayor, Zhong Heng, was wearing a Chinese tunic suit and walked in with his two children.
Guo Ming’s eyes suddenly lit up. He took three steps and walked to the door.
Most of the people invited to this banquet were from small families. They had never seen the mayor in person, so they also surrounded the door.
This made Guo Ming, who had pushed through the crowd, look particularly embarrassed.
However, Guo Ming still managed to find a path through the crowd and walked over to Zhong Heng’s side.
“Mayor Zhong, what brings you here?”
Guo Ming also had some contact with the mayor, but only a little. A small entrepreneur like him had not reached the point where he could call the mayor his brother.
“Well, Miss Guo invited my son and nephew, so I stopped by here on the way.”
Zhong Nian and Tong Tong looked at Guo Ming and nodded slightly.
“Hello, my two classmates. Hello, Mayor. It’s my honor to have you visit my humble home.” Guo Ming’s face was full of eagerness.
Zhong Heng was usually tired of dealing with this kind of people who were fishing for fame. At this time, he didn’t have any intention to talk to Guo Ming. He just said a few words casually and let Guo Ming host the banquet.
“Hey, why is Brother Sheng Guang here?” Zhong Nian suddenly said.
Sheng Guang’s father came from the same generation as Zhong Heng, and Sheng Guang was one of Zhong Nian’s many nephews.
Zhong Heng looked in the direction Zhong Nian was pointing and saw Sheng Guang and his benefactor in the corner.
“Are they also Guo Miao’s guests?” Zhong Nian asked in confusion.
