Ye Qingzi found Gu Zhaoming’s unwavering stance surprising, diverging greatly from the attitudes of parents she had encountered in the past.

Her tone turned frosty. “Are you deliberately trying to provoke the Ye family in the capital?”

Ji Linbai couldn’t stand idly by while witnessing his boss and cousin Gu Yang being mistreated. Rising to his feet, he spoke in a stern tone, “We may all belong to the Eight Great Clans, but I had no idea the Ye family was so audacious.”

His words drew the attention of everyone present. While many recognized Ji Linbai as Ruan Chu’s physician friend and the son of the director of Jin City Psychiatric Hospital, they were unaware of his status within the Eight Great Clans.

Gu Zhaoming, too, was taken aback. He scrutinized Ji Linbai and then glanced at Ruan Chu by his side, recalling the conversations he’d had with Old Master Ruan. After a moment of contemplation, he ventured, “The Ji family from the capital?”

Ji Linbai’s demeanor softened toward Gu Zhaoming, assuming a more deferential stance. “Yes, Uncle Gu.”

Ye Qingzi, equally surprised by the unexpected presence of the Ji family at such an ostensibly modest birthday gathering, reflected on the rarity of interactions between the aristocratic families of the capital, particularly considering the Ji family’s focus on medicine and their limited business engagements with other clans.

Given the limited interaction her family had with the Ji family, Ye Qingzi didn’t recognize Ji Linbai. Upon hearing him identified as a doctor from Jin City, she assumed he was a distant relative, prompting a sneer from her.

“Since when can any collateral relative presume to represent the Ji family in the capital?” she retorted disdainfully, asserting her own status as the eldest daughter of the Ye family in the capital.

Lin Ran’s casual approach interrupted the exchange. “Ye Qingzi, since when did you become the spokesperson for the Ye family in the capital?”

This intervention brought a sense of relief to Lu Mao, who had been eagerly watching the scene unfold. Since his transformation and the subsequent approval from his father, who valued utility above all else, Lu Mao had been groomed as the heir, surpassing his brothers in all aspects.

Having acquainted himself with the elite families both in the capital and beyond, Lin Ran understood the potential repercussions of a nouveau riche family like the Gu clan antagonizing a longstanding powerhouse like the Ye family.

His raised eyebrows conveyed his agreement. “Indeed. Not everyone holds the same weight within their family as you and I do.”

Though his words stung, they held a kernel of truth. Despite Ye Qingzi’s standing within the Ye family, she wasn’t the designated heir; that role belonged to her brother, Ye Hanchen.

Ye Qingzi’s expression darkened. She hadn’t anticipated Lin Ran, who had grown up alongside her, to align himself with an outsider, displaying a blatant disregard for her status.

Laughter rang out from the crowd, drawing everyone’s attention.

“It’s Movie King Ji!”

“I had no idea Movie King Ji would be here!”

“I thought only celebrities from Zhaofeng Entertainment would attend. It’s surprising to see Ruihua’s own celebrity gracing their daughter’s birthday celebration.”

“Ruihua can’t dictate our actions,” someone remarked defiantly.

“It’s no surprise that Ji and Gu Yang are close. Just yesterday, Ji was on location overseas shooting for a magazine cover. Today, he’s here in Jin City attending the birthday celebration.”

Ji Jingchi’s presence ignited excitement among his numerous fans present, causing a commotion throughout the venue.

Accompanied by his manager and assistant, Ji Jingchi approached Gu Yang, beaming brightly. “Little fairy, and little fairy’s sister. Happy birthday.”

“Thank you,” Gu Yang responded with a smile.

Ji Jingchi had become acquainted with Gu Yang during their time together on a variety show, earning him an invitation to the birthday banquet. Despite his hectic schedule as a popular Movie King, his unexpected attendance pleasantly surprised Gu Yang.
