Although many people had already known the purpose of the banquet in private, they chose to keep silent in order not to attract more competitors.
The fewer people who knew about it, the easier it was for them to receive an invitation!
During this time, Gong Shaofan had deliberately refrained from sending Min Yue to handle external liaison tasks.
Deprived of access to such information, she was still kept in the dark.
Just now, Min Yue had wanted to ask Yuanya whether today was indeed her engagement party with Gong Shaofan.
But when the words were on the tip of her tongue, she realized she didn't seem to have any right to ask such a question and eventually chose to evade it.
At that moment, the housekeeper came in to announce that it was time for the banquet to start.
Today's banquet wasn't held in a hotel banquet hall or similar location but was arranged in the Gong Family's ancestral home's garden.
