Chapter 1606: Chapter 931: The Big Shots Arrive One After Another, A Once-in-a-Lifetime Reunion (2 Updates)

At exactly nine o’clock in the morning, the exhibition began, no invitation needed, yet the number of admissions was restricted. The moment the doors opened—

The crowd surged forward.

Some reporters were carrying big cameras, with various equipment almost being knocked over.

"Everyone, please queue orderly for security checks, thank you for your cooperation, no photos, no videos inside..."

Security personnel were particularly numerous today to handle any unexpected situations that might occur.

A patrol police car was parked not far away, with several police officers sitting inside, watching the scene, unable to help but sigh:

"It’s truly an era of entertainment till death, if it weren’t for recent scandals, I doubt many would care about this exhibition, now they’re risking everything just to see the spectacle."

"I heard they’re investigating the origin of those Kingfisher corpses, who knows where they got them, shameless."

"Some people will do anything for money, even murder and robbery."

...

A few police officers were discussing this, when they saw several cars approaching from a distance, stopping in front of the Exhibition Center, just ordinary models, until they saw the people getting out, nearly choking.

The man was very tall, exuding an intimidating presence, even in low-key black, he stood out in the crowd—

A cold, imposing figure, commanding without anger.

It was Huo Qinqi.

The police car was far away, due to the angle, they couldn’t clearly see the front view, only spotted him turning his head, bending down, helping someone out of the car, it was Shen Shuci.

"Oh my! Master Huo is here too, sure is lively today!"

"They’re relatives, of course they’d come to show support."

"It’s a pity we can only patrol outside, can’t go in to see the commotion."

As they were speaking, accompanied by the roar of an engine, it was clear who had arrived, the engine sound wasn’t as piercing as usual, deep and muffled.

Huo Qinqi just tilted his head slightly, spotting a rather eye-catching silver-gray modified racing car speeding toward them, passing by his car.

With an extremely dazzling, cool, yet flamboyant drifting maneuver, parking the car perfectly.

Leaving the waiting crowd stunned, mouth agape.

This driving style—

Too flashy, too cool.

In all of Beijing, only Jiang Chengsi dared to be so outrageously flamboyant.

Sure enough, it was him who got out.

Wearing a rather casual outfit, not very formal, after all it’s just an exhibition, not some financial summit, relaxed and extravagant.

He turned and walked around to the passenger side, opened the door, the person stepping out wore a simple cheongsam in indigo, for someone young this color might seem a bit mature, but with branches of pink peach blossoms crossing the hem, the entire attire became lively.

With even shoulders and long legs, the cheongsam was different from the usual, modest conservative style, a high collar design, the hem reaching the ankles, showing neither skin nor bone, yet she wore it with endless charm.

"I thought we’d be the first to arrive, didn’t expect you to be here even earlier." Jiang Chengsi, holding Si Qingxiao, headed straight towards Huo Qinqi.

Under the gaze of the crowd, they were the first to enter the venue.

No matter the event, there are always special guests who don’t need to queue for security checks, this was no surprise to everyone.

Just quietly discussing, even if they don’t see a ’divine clash’ today, seeing them is considered luck.

...

Jiang Chengsi and his group had just entered and sat down when a commotion was heard from behind, turning around, he spotted someone with flamboyant side-parted hair appearing, Ruan Mengxi holding his shoulder, the two whispering to each other.

Noticing Jiang Chengsi looking over, he waved at him.

Jiang Chengsi clicked his tongue: "Already people with kids, not focusing energy on the kids, fussing over their small patch of hair all day, what’s the point?"

Huo Qinqi glanced at him, "I heard he gave his son a toy car, letting your daughter play with it at their place all the time?"

Bringing up this matter made Jiang Chengsi furious.

They have plenty of cars to play with, all more flashy and cool than that four-wheeled electric toy car, yet their little girl always prefers going to the Qi Family.

He complained to Si Qingxiao, and she directly said:

"Children aren’t playing with the car, they just need a playmate, you have many brothers, you probably don’t understand, but only children really wish for siblings."

Si Qingxiao was an only child, often playing alone as a kid, playing dolls, preparing all sorts of little clothes.

Her love for clothes probably started back then.

Jiang Chengsi pondered for a moment: "There’s a solution to this problem."

"What?"

"We’ll give her a brother or sister, I’ll put in more effort, and you should too."

"..."

Si Qingxiao was lamenting the loneliness of having to play alone in the past, but his words left her speechless. How does he manage to relate everything back to that?

The main issue is someone being overly forthright and blunt, really capable of choking a person.

Living with him is filled with fun, and there are no misunderstandings, but sometimes, he can truly make you furious. Occasionally, when he’s clingy, you really feel like he might have been a piece of caramel candy in his past life.

That night, unsurprisingly, someone went to the study to keep the sofa company.

Jiang Chengsi was sulking, while Si Qingxiao raised her hand and actively greeted Ruan Mengxi, "Sister Xixi, over here—"

Both were pregnant around the same time and even stayed in the hospital to wait for childbirth together. Plus, Ruan Mengxi was still working for Jiang Chengsi, and while the husbands were at odds, the two formed a bond like sisters.

"Fourth brother, you sit over there, I’ll sit with Sister Xixi." Si Qingxiao directly sent Jiang Chengsi away.

As a result, Jiang Chengsi unwillingly sat next to Qi Zeyan.

Resentful and helpless.

"Why haven’t Xiaowu and the others arrived yet?" Qi Zeyan glanced around.

From the Jiang Family, apart from Jiang Chengsi and his wife, surprisingly, no one else had arrived.

**

At this moment, Tang Wan was still in the backstage lounge, standing by the window. From this angle, she could clearly see the entrance situation, and in the distance, there was a banner raised by animal protection activists that read:

[All beings have spirit, without trade, there is no slaughter!]

As the audience gradually entered, it quickly reached the allowable capacity.

"Sorry, we’ve reached the capacity limit! If you want to see the exhibition, please come back in the afternoon." The security directly blocked the way inside.

This left the group of people waiting behind feeling a bit dazed.

"I’ve been in line for so long, letting one more person in doesn’t matter, does it?"

"Yeah, brother, can’t you make an exception?"

"I arrived at around seven in the morning, could you make it convenient? Rules are dead!"

...

Especially those who were just about to take their turn, their emotions grew increasingly agitated and excited.

"We’re really sorry, that’s the regulation, we can’t do anything." The security guards couldn’t let even one extra person in because breaking the rule would open a floodgate for those behind not being pleased.

Everyone understood that making it difficult for the security wasn’t going to work, so they argued a few words and stayed by the entrance, unwilling to leave for a long time.

"Wanwan, almost ten minutes, the audience has mostly entered." Chen Zhi pushed open the lounge door on the first day of the exhibition, there was supposed to be an opening.

"I know." Tang Wan held a water cup in her hand, calmly took a sip.

Picking up the phone, Chen Zhi thought she might call Jiang Jinsang since fifth master was not here yet. However, when the call connected, she said with a smile:

"Mutang, have you had breakfast? Are you behaving at great-grandmother’s house today?"

Chen Zhi: "..."

At such a time, you still have the mind to care whether your son had breakfast?

Chen Zhi was busy running around, already a bit sweaty on his forehead, Tang Wan put down the cup, while answering the phone, she also handed him a paper towel.

Chen Zhi sighed and suddenly heard another commotion outside.

He quickly walked to the window, thinking it was because the exhibition was about to start and many people hadn’t entered causing some trouble. Instead, he saw a few cars parked at the exhibition center entrance.

The tumult outside made those inside a bit uneasy, nobody knew what was going on outside to cause such a stir.

"What’s up? Did fifth master arrive?"

"I’m not sure, why is it such a big commotion?"

"Curious."

Even Qi Zeyan couldn’t resist peeking outside.

"You’re both fathers of two kids, could you be steadier?" Jiang Chengsi remarked with disdain.

"Aren’t you also tempted to rush out and see what’s going on?"

The man who got out of the car first clenched in his hand inherited Buddha Beads, at an angle facing away from the sunlight, exuding a negative and obsessive aura.

Calm and reserved, transcendental.

The woman by his side, most striking was her pair of beautiful phoenix eyes, lively and vibrant.

"Third master Fu—" People outside exploded instantly, almost as if they went mad.

"Holy crap, I should’ve shamelessly pushed forward!"

"I’ve lost my mind!"

"Don’t panic, there are more behind."
