"I thought there were only these two flower baskets."
But after a while, people kept coming with more and more flower baskets.
"Jin Family? Tang Family? Hua Family?" The signatures on each flower basket completely blew Jiang Shuqin away.
"What the hell? Am I seeing things?" Jiang Shuqin was incredibly surprised and tugged at Xia Chuyi’s sleeve, "All these are prominent families from Capital City!"
"And why is our Jiang Family included?"
"I haven’t been home for a while, did something happen that I don’t know about?"
Honestly, Xia Chuyi didn’t know what had happened either.
A little while later, a few more sedans arrived.
A group of young men and women dressed in extraordinary fashion got out of the cars.
Looking at this group, some familiar, some just acquaintances, Jiang Shuqin was completely bewildered, "Sis, why are you all here?"
Indeed, Jiang Fengqi, Song Zhicheng, and even Ou Cong were all strikingly among these people.
Ou Cong was naturally wearing a disgruntled expression and awkwardly said, "Heard that Xia Chuyi’s new store was opening, so I came to show some support."
Jiang Shuqin got annoyed at the sight of him, "Who asked you to come and support? You’re like a jinx, nothing good ever happens when you show up!"
At these words, Ou Cong instantly got angry and was about to retort, but Song Zhicheng held him back and advised, "Ou Cong, let it go. Why bother getting mad at a little girl?"
Song Zhicheng glanced at Xia Chuyi and gave Ou Cong a meaningful look.
Consider the monk for the Buddha’s sake. You’ve finally been let out, cherish your freedom.
Ou Cong instantly withered and said no more.
Seizing the opportunity, Jiang Shuqin glared at Ou Cong several times, infuriating him to the point of hopping mad.
Upon seeing this, Xia Chuyi shook her head, feeling more and more that Ou Cong and Jiang Shuqin were like natural enemies.
However, looking at the crowd, she was even less certain about why they were here.
She had a barely cordial relationship with Jiang Fengqi, Ou Cong, and Song Zhicheng.
But the others? She didn’t know them at all.
Clearly, these were all people from Jiang Shuqin’s circle.
So, they couldn’t possibly be here just for Jiang Shuqin’s sake, right?
But what does this store have to do with Jiang Shuqin?
Xia Chuyi’s eyes shifted towards Jiang Fengqi, hoping she could provide an answer.
Seeing her confusion, Jiang Fengqi smiled, came over, and said to Xia Chuyi, "We’re all here under the orders of our elders."
"Ah?" Upon hearing this, Xia Chuyi was instantly dumbfounded.
Orders from the elders?
Aren’t Jiang Fengqi and the others’ elders those high-profile people of Capital City?
Seeing her bewildered expression, Jiang Fengqi smiled again and said, "You don’t know yet, do you? Huo Shiqian has publicly acknowledged your relationship with him in our circle."
"Uncle Huo has also made a statement and recognized you as his daughter-in-law."
"So, everyone’s here today not just to make a statement but also to show support."
Regarding this answer, Xia Chuyi was somewhat expectant yet somewhat surprised.
It was expected to see Uncle Liberation Army’s and the Huo Family’s faces, to have this crowd come to offer congratulations.
But, she was just opening an ordinary little store, why would they make such a big deal out of it?
That was beyond expectation.
Jiang Fengqi seemed to sense what she was thinking and said, "Don’t feel too much pressure about it, everybody is just here to show face."
Plainly speaking, it was just a social courtesy.
Of course, to some extent, it was also a way of picking sides.
