Chapter 134: Chapter 134: Welcoming Guests

They all waited in the small restaurant until after eight, then went to the main hall.

The elders were already sitting there, and seeing that they were all ready, they were asked to take their places.

Xia Tian, Wang Shan, and Xia Yu, along with their younger siblings, first went to the forecourt.

The main entrance of the forecourt was already decorated, and tables and chairs had been set out for them to rest while they waited for the guests.

"You six wait here. Greet the guests and show them inside. Since Xiaoyue and Xiaoxi are a little special, they don’t have to escort people. The four of you are in charge of that." Xia Tian instructed his younger siblings.

"Sounds good, big brother. Leave it to us. I’ll make sure to watch over them." Xia Yan replied with a smile.

"If grandfather’s old friends come, make sure to immediately inform our father and his team. They will escort those old gentlemen to grandfather." Xia Tian nodded and continued.

"No problem." Xia Yan nodded in agreement.

Xia Tian, Wang Shan, and Xia Yu then left them to their duty.

The remaining six looked at each other before sitting down to wait for the guests.

As it was still early, everyone brought out their phones and began to pass the time, except for Xia Yue and Xia Xi. Xia Yue’s phone was occupied by System Ling and her cat, and Xia Xi was simply not interested.

"Why don’t you play on your phone?" Xia Yue asked Xia Xi, noticing her upright posture.

"Don’t feel like it." Xia Xi replied.

"Come on, let’s have a quiet chat." Xia Yue suggested to her sister, her voice barely audible.

"Sure, still the one from yesterday afternoon?" Xia Xi nodded and asked.

"Yep, it’s something to do anyway." Xia Yue enthusiastically bobbed her head.

Xia Xi agreed and they leaned even closer to each other to chat.

It wasn’t until after nine that guests began to arrive periodically.

Xia Yan and the others stood up, welcomed the guests with smiles and ushered them inside.

Only Xia Yue and Xia Xi remained at the gate, greeting and calling out to the guests, but not moving from the spot.

In the meantime, Xia Linzheng and the others received three elderly gentlemen of similar age to the old master and escorted them inside.

When the Bia Yuran and the young masters of wealthy families saw Xia Yue, they secretly glared at her, but didn’t dare to be too confrontational due to people passing by. They could do nothing but proceed inside.

"You’ve been glared at at least twenty times this morning." Xia Xi whispered to Xia Yue in a lull between guests.

"I expected it. The banquet is also probably going to be anything but peaceful. I didn’t think my actions last time would stir up such resentment. It looks like these people we’re welcoming aren’t going to let me off the hook so easily." Gazing at the expressions on those faces, Xia Yue predicted they won’t give her any peace this time.

"I’ll stick with you. If they really dare to bully you, we can teach them a lesson tonight." Xia Xi suggested.

"Thanks in advance." Xia Yue gratefully looked at Xia Xi, feeling reassured to have someone by her side.

They stood there greeting and waiting until half-past eleven before they were called back.

Xia Yu told them to take a break. They would need to go to the banquet hall by noon.

Reaching the waiting room, Xia Yue plopped down on the sofa without a care for her image.

"My cheeks are sore." Xia Yue complained.

"My legs are tired." Xia Xin chimed in.

"Watch your behavior." Xia Qing frowned at the pair.

Xia Xi sat quietly, drank a couple of sips of water, and ate some fruit.

"Aren’t you tired, Xiaoxi?" Xia Yan asked, looking at Xia Xi, who seemed unfazed.

"Not at all." Xia Xi shook her head, totally relaxed.

"You’re amazing," Xia Yue concluded, shooting her a thumbs-up.
