Chapter 473 - 472: Welcome Banquet Invitation

The two servants picked up the bowls of anti-hair loss ginger tea, closed their eyes, and downed it in one gulp.

After drinking it, their brows furrowed so deeply you could tell just how awful it tasted.

It had a strong smell and a bad taste; its only redeeming quality was that it could treat hair loss.

If it weren’t for this one irresistible function, it would probably be an ignored item on the milk tea shop’s menu.

"One cup a day for seven consecutive days is one course of treatment. Here are six bags of the ginger tea. Just brew them in a pot. The day you finish it all, your hair will have grown back."

The taste may have been awful, but its effect was truly tempting.

In the end, the two of them accepted the anti-hair loss ginger tea bags from Yun Zijin’s assistant, Xiao Li.

"Don’t worry, Miss. We’ll be sure to drink it, and we’ll document our hair growth every day."

If their hair really did grow back, they would become living advertisements for the shop.

No advertisement is as effective as a living, breathing success story right before your eyes.

"When the time comes, you can send me a copy of your records. And don’t worry, even if I use your progress for promotion, I will absolutely not show your faces."

"We trust you, Miss."

Yun Zijin was usually very good to them and never acted bossy. Even when asking them to do work, her tone was always very polite.

After finalizing the design drafts, Qin Sitong prepared to leave. She still hadn’t started selling her 200 cups of Wangyou Milk Tea for the day.

If she left now, she’d get to the Wangyou Milk Tea Shop at just the right time.

Yun Zijin had nothing to do, so she went along with Qin Sitong to the Wangyou Milk Tea Shop.

Upon arriving at the Wangyou Milk Tea Shop, Yun Zijin found an empty seat and sat down.

But not long after she sat down, she received a call from Situ Wenze.

Yun Zijin really didn’t want to answer, but since Situ Wenze was Lu Yunque’s business partner, she ultimately picked up the phone.

"What is it?"

’It hasn’t been that long, and he’s calling me again? He’s not plotting something, is he?’

"Grandfather and Grandmother want to see you. When are you free? Let’s set a time to meet."

Situ Wenze’s tone was much better than before, but you could still detect a hint of awkwardness.

Yun Zijin, however, didn’t care about that. She just wanted to know the purpose of his call.

As for meeting Situ Wenze’s grandparents, Yun Zijin didn’t take it seriously at all. After all, she had no intention of returning to France with them to join the Situ Family.

"That’s not necessary. I’ve said it many times: I will not go back to France with you, and I certainly won’t join the Situ Family. So, let’s just skip the meeting, shall we?"

Yun Zijin rejected Situ Wenze’s proposed meeting without hesitation.

On the other end of the line, Situ Wenze’s brow twitched when he heard Yun Zijin’s refusal.

But recalling Situ Yunliang’s words, he tried his best to maintain a pleasant tone. "The two elders came to Hua Country mostly for you. Even if you don’t like me, Grandfather and Grandmother bear you no ill will."

Situ Wenze was trying to play the sympathy card with Yun Zijin.

"It’s not like I asked them to come. You think they came for me? I could just as well say they came for you.

"Mr. Situ, don’t try to play the sympathy card with me. You people... have no sympathy card to play here."

Situ Wenze hadn’t expected Yun Zijin to be so utterly impervious.

He looked up at Situ Yunliang and the two elders and shook his head.

Disappointment clearly flashed in Situ Yunliang’s eyes. Situ Xu Yao and Yue Lanhua also felt the situation was becoming tricky.

Yun Zijin wouldn’t even give them a chance to meet. It seemed almost impossible for them to change her mind.

Situ Xu Yao thought for a moment before settling on a roundabout method.

"Send out a wide invitation, and say it’s a reception banquet for us."

"We must make sure she is invited, one way or another."

"Grandfather, that’s a brilliant idea. The Lu Family will certainly be on the invitation list. If Lu Yunque attends, he’s sure to bring Yun Zijin as his date."

Of course, with her own assets in Dijing, Yun Zijin would receive an invitation anyway, but she might not come on her own. With Lu Yunque involved, however, she would surely be there.

After all, no girlfriend would be willing to let her boyfriend take another woman to a dinner party.

"Good, let’s do it that way then."

Yun Zijin had no idea that the Situ Family was organizing an entire banquet just for a chance to meet her.

But even if she did know, she wouldn’t have cared much.

It wasn’t her who asked them to hold a banquet. They said it was a reception; she wasn’t the guest of honor.

A reception banquet should be held sooner rather than later. Situ Wenze had invitations rush-printed and then had his assistant deliver them to everyone on the guest list.

Situ Wenze decided to personally deliver the invitations for the Lu Family and Yun Zijin.

When he arrived at the Lu Group to find Lu Yunque, Yun Zijin happened to be in the office as well.

"Miss Yun, I didn’t expect to see you here."

Situ Wenze feigned surprise, but his words sounded a bit too deliberate.

It was hard not to suspect that he had deliberately chosen a time when Yun Zijin would be present.

"Mr. Situ, you didn’t even make an appointment. If it weren’t for our business partnership, you wouldn’t be seeing me today.

"Just say what you need to. Zijin isn’t a stranger."

"It’s nothing much. I came to deliver an invitation to you. Since Miss Yun is here as well, it saves me a trip."

Both Lu Yunque and Yun Zijin looked at Situ Wenze, not understanding what he meant.

"My grandfather and grandmother have come to Hua Country, so I’m holding a reception banquet for them. This is the invitation."

Situ Wenze took out two invitations from the briefcase he was carrying.

The purple invitations with gold trim looked beautiful, and holding them, they could feel the high-quality texture.

Yun Zijin and Lu Yunque each took an invitation and opened it to read the contents.

The wording was quite sincere, but who knew if the sentiment was genuine.

Looking at the invitation in her hand, Yun Zijin sighed internally. ’It seems I’ll have to meet them whether I want to or not.’

"For various reasons, the reception is set for this Saturday. You two must come."

Especially Yun Zijin.

"If we have time, we’ll definitely be there."

They didn’t know if something unexpected would come up on Saturday that would prevent them from attending.

Yun Zijin didn’t say whether she would go or not. Although Situ Wenze wanted to confirm, it would have seemed too deliberate, so he held back.

"I look forward to seeing you both there."

After delivering the invitations, Situ Wenze didn’t linger and quickly left the Lu Group Building.

Once Situ Wenze had gone, Yun Zijin and Lu Yunque finally exchanged a look.
