1201 Who Slaps Whose Face?

"Wang Zhao, take care of the shop. I have something to do and will be heading out."

Chu Yunfan left the shop after he finished speaking.

Today was Situ Miaoyi's birthday. Chu Yunfan had received an invitation and was rushing over to attend the birthday party.

The Situ clan was one of the top merchant families in Conglong City. They had great influence even in the Great Wei Kingdom. And Situ Miaoyi was the eldest daughter of the Situ clan so he naturally had to attend her birthday party.

On this day, the largest first-class restaurant in the city, First Pavilion, had been booked by the Situ clan. People who were attending the party came from all over the city and gathered at First Pavilion.

"Young Master, I'm sorry. First Pavilion has been booked by our eldest miss today. It's not open to the public."

In front of the restaurant, Chu Yunfan was stopped by an attendant.

"I'm here to attend the party," Chu Yunfan said calmly.

When the messenger heard this, his expression immediately became much friendlier. He hurriedly said, "Please show me your invitation."

Chu Yunfan was stunned. Earlier, An Xiuxiu had only given him a verbal invitation on behalf of Situ Miaoyi but had not given him an invitation letter.

"I'm sorry, I don't have an invitation," he said directly, "But I'm a guest personally invited by your miss. You can report it to the higher-ups and confirm it. My name is Chu Yunfan."

When the waiter found out that Chu Yunfan didn't have an invitation card, he looked a little embarrassed. However, seeing Chu Yunfan's confident expression, he couldn't make up his mind. Chu Yunfan didn't look like a liar.

"In that case, please wait a moment, Young Master Chu. I'll go in and report immediately," the waiter said.

"Okay, go," Chu Yunfan said.

This scene was also seen by many guests, but they were not sure about Chu Yunfan's background. They had never seen Chu Yunfan in their circle.

"Who is that person? Why didn't he receive an invitation?"

"He doesn't look like someone from our circle."

Suddenly, a group of people walked over from afar. The person in the lead was none other than Chu Xiujie.

Behind Chu Xiujie were Chu Yanghui, Chu Yongyan, and the others. When they saw Chu Yunfan, they all glared at him angrily.

Chu Xiujie looked at Chu Yunfan strangely, not knowing why he was standing there. But soon, he heard from the other attendants.

"So that's how it is. Some people clearly didn't receive an invitation but they still insisted on joining in the fun. Tsk, tsk. They really don't care about their dignity in order to climb up the social ladder," Chu Xiujie said loudly.

Suddenly, the guests' faces revealed a look of realization. So that was what was happening. So it was someone who came uninvited.

They had seen a lot of people like this because this circle was not open to the public. Many people who had not received an invitation wanted to sneak in so that they could build some connections.

In their eyes, Chu Yunfan had clearly become such a person. When they looked at Chu Yunfan again, the look in their eyes was a little strange.

"I didn't expect him to be such a person."

"Tsk tsk, some people are just too thick-skinned."

At this time, Chu Xiujie proudly walked over and said, "Chu Yunfan, why do you have to do this? Since you didn't receive an invitation, why do you have to squeeze in?"

In his eyes, Chu Yunfan was just trying to get close to him.

Chu Yunfan didn't even bother to look at him.

Seeing that Chu Yunfan still dared to be so arrogant at this time, Chu Xiujie gritted his teeth and said, "Chu Yunfan, is it your business to come groveling here? You're humiliating the marquis!"

"It's none of your business." Chu Yunfan sneered at Chu Xiujie.

"Why you…" Chu Xiujie was furious and was about to explode. Behind him, Chu Yanghui, Chu Yongyan, and the others also glared at Chu Yunfan.

Suddenly, hurried footsteps were heard. A fiery red figure walked out of First Pavilion. It was none other than An Xiuxiu.

Seeing An Xiuxiu striding over, Chu Xiujie was about to smile and strike up a conversation with her. He knew that An Xiuxiu was the pearl in Marquis Anguo's palm. She was also one of the top few people in the circle of Conglong City's noble children. She was much better than him, who was a candidate for the heir of Marquis Zhongxin.

Unless he became the heir of the marquis, he would not be able to stand on equal footing with her. If he could befriend her, it would be undoubtedly beneficial to him.

He had a thought in his mind. If he could marry An Xiuxiu, with the power of Marquis Anguo, it would be a sure thing for him to become the heir of Marquis Zhongxin.

"An…" Chu Xiujie was just about to speak when he saw her walking past him as if she had not seen him at all. She did not even look at him, causing Chu Xiujie's face to freeze.

Even Chu Yanghui, Chu Yongyan, and the others behind Chu Xiujie were stunned. This was completely different from what they had expected.

They thought An Xiuxiu was coming for them, but she didn't even glance at them. Then, she walked up to Chu Yunfan and said apologetically, "I'm sorry. It was a slip of the tongue. I didn't expect you to be stalled at the entrance because of a matter as small as an invitation card."

An Xiuxiu looked a little embarrassed. She was very embarrassed to make such a basic mistake.

"It's nothing. It's just a small matter." Chu Yunfan smiled faintly. He did not take this matter to heart.

"Let's go. I'll bring you inside," An Xiuxiu said as she led Chu Yunfan inside. From the beginning to the end, she didn't even look at Chu Xiujie.

At this time, Chu Xiujie's face was completely ashen. He had previously mocked Chu Yunfan for not having an invitation card and coming to climb up the social ladder.

In the end, they were slapped in the face by An Xiuxiu. This precious daughter of Marquis Anguo was not even aware of Chu Xiujie's presence. Instead, she welcomed Chu Yunfan, whom they did not think highly of.

After a long time, Chu Xiujie snorted and said, "Let's go!"

Chu Yanghui and Chu Yongyan were silent, not daring to anger Chu Xiujie. At the same time, they were also very surprised. They did not know how An Xiuxiu knew Chu Yunfan, and it seemed that they had a good relationship.

After all, they had only noticed Chu Yunfan in the past few days. Before this, Chu Yunfan was considered a special one among the candidates, but in fact, he did not have a very heavy presence.

The other guests also revealed curious expressions, wondering who this person was.
