The birthday banquet was set for noon, which was still nine hours away.
It seemed like a long time, but the schedule was already packed with various matters.
It was well past two in the morning.
Xiao Wan'er and Xiao Jinghong brought Xiao Wuge to wait outside Jiaxing Garden.
As the legitimate heirs of the Xiao Family's main branch, the three of them were required to accompany the Old Marquis to the ancestral hall to honor their ancestors.
Besides them, neither the second branch nor Xiao Xuanshuo, who was from a concubine of the main branch, were qualified to enter.
Naturally, Chen Yi wasn't qualified either.
But he stood among the Xiao family, perfectly composed and at ease.
One moment, he would glance at Xiao Jinghong, comparing her looks to Xiao Wan'er's to see who was more beautiful.
The next, he would look at Xiao Xuanshuo, wondering when the man would come to test his Martial Arts.
Most of the time, however, he found himself watching the members of the second branch.
