Rebirth as the Richest Woman in the World
Chapter 25 - 025 You are not worse than her.

Chapter 25: 025 You are not worse than her.

"Alright," Li Hanjiang nodded slightly.

The two of them walked side by side toward the banquet hall on the first floor.

One dressed in a light blue off-the-shoulder gown, looking like a fairy untouched by the mortal world.

The other in a well-tailored suit, with exceptionally handsome features, clearly a standout among men.

Such a pair naturally won the stares of everyone present.

Some sharp-eyed people immediately recognized Li Hanjiang, "Isn’t that Li Hanjiang, the boss of Huayu Group?"

There were voices of admiration, "Ahhh, so handsome!"

And envious ones, "Wow, my idol looks even more handsome in person than in photos! Eh? Who is that woman with him? She’s so lucky to be able to stand next to my idol!"

"The boss of Huayu Group actually came to attend the Zhao family’s banquet?"

You should know that compared to the Li family, the Zhao family is lagging behind by more than a hundred grand households! For Li Hanjiang to condescend to attend the birthday banquet of the Zhao family, this is definitely the biggest news of the year.

Some of the elders couldn’t help but sigh, Capital City was likely about to experience a change.

Everyone was speculating who the fairy-like person standing beside Li Hanjiang was, and soon, someone recognized Zhao Yiling.

"Oh my God! Isn’t that woman by the side of Huayu Group’s boss the Zhao family’s daughter, Zhao Yiling?"

"It really is her, no wonder the boss of Huayu Group is attending this banquet, it’s because of this relationship."

"I’m so envious of Miss Zhao, being able to stand with such an important figure."

"Miss Zhao’s demeanor is so good, and she’s so pretty..."

All at once, various voices of envy filled the air.

As the female lead of the event, Zhao Yiling took in all the voices and her lips held a very dignified smile.

At this moment, she was the object of envy for all the women present.

The most outstanding man in the entire city was standing by her side.

Suddenly, a sense of superiority arose within her.

At this time, Zhao Hai had already come downstairs, surrounded by some younger people who were there to wish him a happy birthday.

The sudden commotion in the crowd caused him to subconsciously lift his gaze and look forward, and with that look, he was stunned, even going so far as to unbelievably raise his hand and rub his eyes.

In fear that he had seen incorrectly.

Although Zhao Hai had someone send an invitation to Li Hanjiang, he was also clear about his own standing; he knew very well that Li Hanjiang might not even give a glance to an invitation sent by the Zhao family, given the huge disparity between their families.

After confirming he had not recognized the wrong person, Zhao Hai stood up excitedly and immediately stepped forward to greet him, fearing that he might be neglecting the important guest.

Following him, Zhao Shendong and his wife also hurried over.

As soon as Zhao Shendong and his wife thought about becoming the in-laws of a very important person, their faces couldn’t hide their joy.

They were also marveling at how their daughter really was something, to have conquered such an important figure in such a short period of time.

Zhao Hai bowed his hands to Li Hanjiang, saying respectfully, "Boss Li gracing us with your presence really adds luster to our humble abode."

Li Hanjiang smiled and said, "Not at all, Elder Zhao is an elder of Capital City, it is only right for the younger generation to come and offer birthday congratulations."

As soon as these words were said, the people all looked at each other.

The mighty boss of the Capital City actually called himself a junior in front of a minor head of the Zhao family!

What a rare sight to see! Those among them had never seen the Li family get close to any of the clans in the Capital City because the Li family was powerful enough.

And as the saying goes, fierce beasts always wander alone while sheep flock together!

For a small Zhao family to have Li Hanjiang lower his status like this, what an honor it must be!

Zhao Yiling stood obediently beside Li Hanjiang, greeting Zhao Hai, "Grandfather."

Zhao Hai, preoccupied with watching Li Hanjiang, had overlooked Zhao Yiling at his side, and a single "Grandfather" instantly brought back his thoughts.

He looked at his granddaughter standing next to Li Hanjiang in disbelief, a little dazedly responding, "Yiling?"

Zhao Yiling smiled softly and said, "Grandfather, let’s invite Mr. Li to take his seat quickly."

"Yes, yes, yes," Zhao Hai instantly understood something, no wonder such an important figure had come to attend his banquet—it was for his excellent granddaughter, "Mr. Li, please, this way."

A group of people made their majestic way toward the main seat inside.

Once seated, Zhao Shendong was eager to introduce himself to Li Hanjiang, "Mr. Li, hello, I am Zhao Shendong."

Li Hanjiang nodded with a smile, engaging courteously with Zhao Shendong.

Envy filled those around them, all secretly exclaiming how the Zhao family could produce such an excellent daughter.

On one side, Zhao Yu spoke softly to her daughter, "Jiayi, did you bring the gift for your grandfather?"

Qian Jiayi nodded nonchalantly, her gaze still fixed on Li Hanjiang standing next to Zhao Yiling.

She was filled with both envy and jealousy at that moment.

Envious of Zhao Yiling’s beauty, jealous that she had actually managed to connect with Li Hanjiang.

In Capital City, beauty was abundant but not rare, and there were many more beautiful than Zhao Yiling. Why did Li Hanjiang only fancy Zhao Yiling?

Seeing Qian Jiayi’s distracted state, Zhao Yu couldn’t help raising her voice, "Jiayi, your mother is talking to you!"

Qian Jiayi redirected her attention, looking up at Zhao Yu, "Mom, you say, I’m listening."

"Do you see? That’s Li Hanjiang," Zhao Yu jutted her chin out and continued, "Later, take the birthday gift to wish your grandfather well, and make sure to find a way to catch the attention of that important figure; it would be best if you could manage to speak with him."

Qian Jiayi’s face turned red. She knew what Zhao Yu meant and said cautiously, "Mom, am I capable?"

Zhao Yu expressed frustrated concern, "If Zhao Yiling can do it, why can’t you? You are no worse than her!"

That statement instantly boosted Qian Jiayi’s confidence!

Indeed, if Zhao Yiling could do it, why couldn’t she?

Qian Jiayi nodded confidently at Zhao Yu, "Mhm, Mom, I understand. I’ll get the birthday gift right now."

She decided to touch up her makeup in the restroom on the way, intending to present the best image of herself to Li Hanjiang.

Before long, individuals at the main table began presenting their birthday gifts one after another.

As the eldest grandson of the main branch, Zhao Yiling had already offered her prepared embroidery, smiling as she said, "This is a Pine and Crane Longevity Painting that Yiling embroidered by hand for grandfather, wishing you blessings as vast as the Eastern Seas and longevity like the sun and the moon’s enduring light."

With that, a servant displayed the embroidery for everyone to admire.

As soon as the embroidery was unfolded, beams of golden light reflected off the pattern, and a chorus of gasps swept through the crowd.
