Seeing his daughter, a smile instantly appeared on Lu Youcai’s face. He cooperatively sized up his daughter with an admiring gaze before nodding and confirming, “You look good. Our Qiaoqiao is so beautiful, so she naturally looks good in anything.”
When Lu Qiaoqiao heard this, she couldn’t help but smile shyly. Then, she hurried to Lu Youcai’s side and held his arm. She said coquettishly, “You only know how to make me happy.”
“Why would I? Dad is telling the truth!” Lu Youcai smiled and held his daughter’s hand. “Almost all the guests are here. Ask your mother to be quicker.”
Lu Qiaoqiao nodded obediently and ran away happily.
After his daughter left, the smile on Lu Youcai’s face gradually faded. When he turned around, Jian Ai was no longer in sight.
Jian Ai, Chen Lei, and Xu Chu entered the villa together. The hall on the first floor was spacious and bright. There were all kinds of self-service drinks and food. Famous people gathered in the hall. Although Jian Ai had never interacted with many people, she often saw them on business programs. They were all famous people in Baiyun City’s business world.
From this, it was easy to see Lu Youcai’s connections in Baiyun City.
As soon as Chen Lei and Xu Chu appeared, everyone surrounded them warmly. Jian Ai instinctively took two steps back to give the others space. Chen Lei didn’t forget to call Jian Ai, “Xiao Ai, look around first. Uncle Chen will look for you later.”
Jian Ai quickly nodded and said, “Uncle Chen, go ahead. Don’t worry about me.”
She was here as a guest, so she naturally could not let Chen Lei take care of her all the time.
Walking out of the crowd, Jian Ai walked straight to the sofa in the hall. When she passed by the waiter, she took a glass of wine from the tray and sat down on the sofa.
Her gaze wandered around the crowd in boredom. As a company’s invisible CEO, Jian Ai did not feel uncomfortable that no one cared about her.
At this moment, Jian Ai suddenly saw Jian Changsheng in a black suit in the crowd.
Jian Changsheng’s figure was still tall and slender, and he had a refined and noble aura. At this moment, a few old friends were surrounding him and talking and laughing.
However, through the layers of barriers, Jian Ai could still see his slightly swollen face. A trace of ridicule flashed across her eyes. She thought to herself that her brother must have used a lot of strength at that time. Otherwise, his face would not have not completely recovered.
She thought that when she saw Jian Changsheng again, her heart would more or less fluctuate. However, the truth was that Jian Ai didn’t have any additional reaction. Just like now, looking at him from afar, she didn’t react at all.
Jian Changsheng was injured on both sides. To think that he came to Hongxiang’s anniversary party with a swollen face.
An old friend at the side couldn’t help but ask with concern, “Oh, Changsheng, what’s wrong with your face? Why does it look a little swollen?”
Jian Changsheng smiled and said, “My bad teeth hurt two days ago, so I went to the dentist and pulled them out. I didn’t expect my face to swell. The doctor said that it would take a few days for the swelling to subside.”

It had been more than a week since Jian Yu beat Jian Changsheng up, so the redness and swelling had almost disappeared. There were only some faint bruise marks left. If he didn’t say that he was beaten up, it wouldn’t be easy to link to this.
In addition, Jian Changsheng’s performance was very natural, and the reason he made up was flawless. Therefore, the people around him subconsciously believed him.
Perhaps no one would guess that someone would punch the dignified CEO of the Jian Group in the face.
“I was wondering why I thought you had gained weight when I saw you from afar. You have to treat your toothache. Otherwise, you’ll suffer when it acts up,” the person said.
Jian Changsheng smiled and nodded. “My face is swollen, and I didn’t want to come out to see anyone, but I have no choice. It’s Old Lu’s big day today, so I have to come, right?”
“Yes, yes. I especially rushed back from a business trip in Yuan City.” The others quickly nodded in agreement.
Jian Changsheng was calm and unaffected. He turned around and chatted with another person.
Jian Ai saw this and couldn’t help but sneer. Then, she looked away and took a sip of the cocktail in her hand.
After seven in the evening, all the invited guests had arrived. The huge hall could accommodate almost a hundred people. It was lively.
Not long after, Lu Youcai appeared beside the stairs on the second floor of the villa with a wine glass in his hand. Beside him was the elegant Mrs. Lu.
When everyone saw Lu Youcai appear, they surrounded him. Jian Ai was no exception. She held her wine glass and looked at Lu Youcai on the second floor.
Lu Youcai looked down at the guests on the first floor and slowly swept his gaze across everyone’s heads. He even paused when he saw Jian Ai.
After a while, he slowly said, “Welcome to my Hongxiang Group’s twentieth anniversary cocktail party. I thank everyone for coming!”
Everyone below the stage applauded.
Lu Youcai sighed with emotion. “It has been twenty years since Hongxiang Group was established. Over the years, thanks to the care and support of my peers, Hongxiang has achieved what it has today. I will remember everyone who has helped Hongxiang. Thank you again!”
Applause sounded again.
Regardless of how sincere Lu Youcai’s speech was, as guests of the cocktail party, it was enough as long as they supported him.
In the end, Lu Youcai called out to everyone, “I hope everyone can still walk together in the future and help each other build Baiyun City’s real estate. Finally, I hope everyone can spend a pleasant night here!”
When everyone heard this, they applauded again. Lu Youcai and Mrs. Lu also slowly walked down the stairs from the second floor.
The people in the front row surrounded him to propose a toast.
“Chairman Lu, congratulations!”
“Congratulations!”
“Old Lu, it’s been twenty years. It’s not easy!”
“Congratulations, Chairman Lu!”
Congratulations sounded incessantly. Lu Youcai could also handle this scene freely.
Jian Ai didn’t like to join in the fun. Since she was here, she naturally had to toast Lu Youcai. However, there were too many people now, so she thought she would toast him personally later.
Unexpectedly, just as she was about to leave, she heard Lu Youcai call out, “CEO Jian!”
This voice was neither loud nor soft. In addition, there were many people gathered around. These people were stunned. Their first reaction was to think that Lu Youcai was greeting Jian Changsheng.
After all, in Baiyun City, the first person everyone thought of when ‘CEO Jian’ was mentioned was Jian Changsheng!
