Chapter 989: Welcome, In-laws

Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu, as well as Gu Mingyan and the head of the Huang family, stood in a row at the utmost front. With bright smiles on their faces, they were all staring in the elevator’s direction.

Mr. Gu asked one of the reporters in spite of himself, “Are they coming?”

The reporter nodded. “Yes.”

Another reporter added, “I heard from my colleague that the Nangong family is here. Even Old Master Nangong is here.”

When the Gu and Huang family heard this, a satisfied expression bloomed on their faces. Huang Yuhan said enviously, “Sis Qianqian, your grandfather really adores you. He’s still so sick, yet he came all the way to attend your wedding banquet.”

Zhong Qianqian smiled proudly.

18th floor, 19th floor… 21st floor…

When the elevator reached the 22nd floor, the six of them stepped forward with bright smiles.

However…

The elevator did not stop on the 22nd floor. Instead, it shot up from the 22nd to the 66th floor.

Meanwhile, the elevator on the other side remained immobile.

“Eh? Didn’t you say that our in-laws are coming? Don’t tell me they haven’t gotten into the elevator?” Mrs. Gu looked at the media behind her in confusion.

The media was also dumbfounded.

“Our people clearly said that they were already here!”

Zhong Qianqian was slightly baffled. She could not help but complain, “Maybe they’ve just entered the hotel, not the elevator yet! What a scam!”

That was Zhong Qianqian’s nature—she could act like a pretentious little innocent flower when she was not powerful. Once she gained power, she would be super disgusting.

The reporters at the receiving end of her insult, “…”

The heck? What did this have to do with them? Why did she insult them? It was not as if the reporters were the ones who announced that the Nangong family had entered the elevator and requested the Gu and Huang family to wait here. They were the ones who rushed forward and waited in front of the elevator themselves. Only then did the reporters followed them here to try and get first-hand news.

There was no reason for Zhong Qianqian to insult them. What a lunatic!

“The elevator is coming up.”

A random voice rang. The group of people from the Gu family immediately went to the front of another elevator that was ascending up the building, smiling happily.

When the elevator reached the 22nd floor and stopped, everyone rushed forward.

The security guards hired by the Huang family immediately blocked the media and guests from closing in, clearing a path for only the Gu family and the Huang family.

Ding!

The elevator door opened.

Mr. Gu laughed and called out, “Welcome, in—”

Before he could say ‘laws’, his smile froze.

“Where are they? Why is it empty?”

The Gu family, the Huang family, Gu Mingzhe and Zhong Qianqian were all dumbfounded.

“Big Brother, there’s no need to rush. The in-laws must be getting ready to come up, but something came up. Perhaps that’s why they haven’t entered the elevator after pressing the button.”

Gu Mingyan smiled sweetly and consoled Mr. Gu.

Everyone thought about it and agreed.

What kind of family was the Nangong family? Their presence was usually limited to appearing on the news. With the promise of seeing everyone from the Nangong family arriving in the flesh, how could anyone miss this opportunity to approach them?

With that thought, the awkward feeling dissipated.

“The elevator is coming up again!”

Jiang Shuwan and Grandma Jiang called from behind them. Thus, the welcoming party moved to the other elevator at once.

Thankfully, there were only two elevators at the entrance of this door, and the remaining elevators were in another direction. Otherwise, the group of people would be running around like crazy.

Yet, just like its predecessor, the elevator stopped on the 22nd floor.

However, after everyone was done prepping themselves and put on their widest smiles, the elevator door opened to emptiness once more.

The guests were fine. However, after going through this two or three times, the reporters, especially the ones with large cameras, were rendered speechless.
