Ye Xiandong also attended the banquet, where he sat in his wheelchair, pushed by Qiao Qiao.
Entering the crowd once more, Xiandong initially felt very out of his element. He even encountered women he had been involved with in the past—ladies from high society, each dressed to the nines, yet they looked at him with disdain.
Even his old fair-weather friends, upon seeing him, pretended not to recognize him.
However, many were currying favor with Ye Shiqing and Ye Qilan, the two most eye-catching members of the Ye Family present at the scene.
Once, he had been the most eye-catching among the Ye men; in those days, he was the chairman of the Ye Family, but now he sat in a wheelchair, watching Qilan and Shiqing mingle and laugh among the crowd, admired by many women with affectionate gazes.
"Do you feel they are at the pinnacle of life, enjoying limitless glory? You must be remembering your own glorious past," Qiao Qiao's voice awakened Xiandong from his drifting thoughts.
