Chapter 112: The Duan Family Banquet Begins

Inside the Qi Family’s seaside villa
Qi Yue cupped her face, screaming with excitement beyond control. “My eyesight is back! I... I have 20/30 vision! Brother, brother, can we test it again? Just once more!”
Before the eye chart stood a tall man holding a long pointer, looking somewhat helpless.
“Yueyue, you’ve already tested almost ten times…”
Only those who have experienced nearsightedness understand the dread of an eye chart. Qi Yue was one of them; without her glasses, even the top letters on the chart were blurry.
But now, she could clearly see even the bottom row. The whole world was bright, and she could finally say goodbye to her ugly glasses!
She wanted nothing more than to hug the eye chart and kiss it passionately.
Qi Mo looked at his sister with a resigned expression and lowered his head to cough quietly.
Qi Yue quickly said, “Brother, why don’t you let my goddess take a look at your illness? She’s really skilled.”
Qi Mo shook his head, coughing as he headed upstairs. Qi Yue trailed after him like a shadow, shouting, “Brother, the Duan family banquet is tonight. Aren’t you coming with me?”
“You go ahead. I have important matters to attend to today,” Qi Mo said, taking a file and flipping through the documents with his long fingers.
Qi Yue stuck out her tongue and teased, “Brother, what’s with that unlucky elder of yours? Last time he made you cancel Duan Xiuqi’s endorsement, and now he wants you to chat with Duan Xiuqi… I’m going back to my room to change for the banquet.”
Her words trailed off as she caught Qi Mo’s cold gaze and quickly fled.

Qi Mo looked at the documents and shook his head helplessly. “The ancestor really went to great lengths to keep me from seeing Duan Xiuqi.”
He was tasked with holding Duan Xiuqi up under the pretense of work negotiations, preventing him from attending the banquet...

“Chu Wei, didn’t you say you’re also going to the Duan family banquet? Want me to give you a ride?” At the entrance of the Bai family villa, Bai Yinyin stood with one hand on her hip, looking like a peacock fanning its tail, her tone dripping with sarcasm.
Bai Chu Wei replied calmly, “No need. We’ll go separately.”
Bai Yinyin’s heart twisted sharply. Bai Chu Wei was still pretending!
Obviously, she couldn’t get in without an invitation.
Although Bai Yinyin had obtained her invitation from Di Zongping, at least she had gotten in. What was Bai Chu Wei doing? Pretending to be something she wasn’t?
Feigning ignorance, Bai Yinyin earnestly tried to pull Bai Chu Wei into the car. Suddenly, a plump white hamster poked its head out of Bai Chu Wei’s pocket, its sapphire eyes fixated on Bai Yinyin, squeaking loudly.
Bai Yinyin’s face turned pale as she screamed and dashed into the car. “—What a fat rat! Start the car quickly!”
That crazy woman, Bai Chu Wei, couldn’t get into the Duan family banquet and now was trying to scare her with a rodent out of spite!
Bai Chu Wei calmly pushed the hamster back into her pocket and strode forward with long, graceful legs, soon disappearing from sight.
She arrived at the Duan family banquet entrance fifteen minutes later.

Almost all of Haicheng’s elite had arrived. The young masters and debutantes wore elaborate, expensive outfits. After showing their invitations, they entered together hand in hand.
Bai Chu Wei reached the entrance, where the greeter looked at her in astonishment before bowing hurriedly. “You must be Miss Bai? Fourth Master specially instructed that you be admitted.”
Those around who saw Bai Chu Wei enter without showing an invitation were stunned.
Who exactly was she, to be allowed entry without an invite?
No sooner had Bai Chu Wei stepped inside than Bai Yinyin’s car arrived.
Her heart raced wildly as she handed over her invitation; the greeter invited her in.
Bai Yinyin stepped into the banquet hall, glanced back outside, her eyes flashing with excitement.
This door was the very gap between her and Bai Chu Wei!
One could enter; the other could never cross that threshold—like an impassable chasm dividing them forever!
