The Nangong family and the Chi family could be said to be extremely close now. In addition, the Shi family's eldest daughter-in-law's surname was Pei. This was also taboo to Old Master Chi, so he was definitely on the Nangong family's side now.
The old butler said, "Shi Gen is accompanied by his granddaughter, Shi Yalin. They seem to be here to give you a New Year's gift."
Today, the Chi family and Nangong family merely invited the two elders' good friends. It was impossible for these magnates to wantonly announce tonight's banquet, so it was normal for the Shi family to be unaware of this ongoing banquet.
Although no one wanted to let them in, one should not slap someone with a smiling face. The Shi family was a first-tier wealthy family, after all, and they were in control of many military and political forces. Therefore, Old Master Chi had no choice but to invite them in.
