Chapter 785: The Grand Opening

Arriving at Bai Feng Antique Store, Bai Hanyun was startled to see that a huge crowd had gathered there.

Looking at the crowd, she realized that she did not recognize any of them.

Scratching her cheek, Bai Hanyun muttered in confusion, "Who are these people? Why are they crowding outside my store?"

Just as she was guessing their identities, one of the people noticed the two black SUVs stopped by the roadside.

"Look over there! Chairwoman Bai is here!"

That man’s words instantly attracted everyone’s attention.

Inside the car, Bai Hanyun shuddered when she saw the people outside staring at their cars with almost manic expressions.

Sensing the slight change in her mood, Feng Xiyan held her hand and said, "Don’t worry. I’m here."

Hearing this, Bai Hanyun turned to Feng Xiyan. Looking at his gentle smile, she took a deep breath to calm herself before responding, "I’m fine now. Let’s get out."

With that, Feng Xiyan opened the door and stepped out of the car.

The moment he appeared, gasps of surprise spread through the crowd, followed by curious whispers.

A young woman could not help staring at Feng Xiyan as she asked the man standing beside her holding a camera, "Who is this man? He is so handsome."

The man shook his head and replied in a low voice, "We don’t have any information about him, but his aura is no joke. Other than CEO Gui, I have never seen someone this intimidating."

While the two of them were discussing in low voices, Feng Xiyan turned around and reached his hand toward Bai Hanyun.

Placing her hand in his warm palm, Bai Hanyun got out of the car with Feng Xiyan’s help.

When the people gathered around the SUVs saw her, they immediately became excited.

"It’s Chairwoman Bai! Quick! Take pictures!"

Reminded by that man, the cameras instantly focused on Bai Hanyun while countless flashes went off, nearly blinding her.

Closing her eyes, she instinctively stepped closer to Feng Xiyan.

Noticing her discomfort, Feng Xiyan held Bai Hanyun’s hand and led her toward the antique store. Using his tall body, he shielded her from the flashing lights.

After the two of them got out of the car, Hua Yuyu and the others also stepped out and quickly formed a protective circle to block the press while Wu Jun and Ouyang Zhuangyu went to park the cars.

A few minutes later, Bai Hanyun and Feng Xiyan finally stepped into the antique store.

With Hua Yuyu and the others guarding outside, the press and uninvited guests could not get inside and could only take a few blurry pictures from afar.

Inside the antique store, Bai Hanyun turned on the main system. Instantly, the entire store lit up brightly.

Gathered outside, some cameramen standing at the front saw the antiques displayed near the glass windows and gasped in shock.

"Look! Aren’t those the famous bronze ritual vessels?!"

The moment his words echoed through the surroundings, the crowd fell silent, as if someone had pressed a pause button.

A few seconds later, camera flashes exploded like countless stars.

"Oh, my God! Look at those! They are Jue, Guang, and Gu!"

"No way! Chairwoman Bai is actually putting those items up for sale?!"

Unaware that the broken cups, plates, jars, and other tableware she had received from the citizens of Xiqiang City had now become priceless treasures, Bai Hanyun and the others were busy preparing to receive their first guests.

Five minutes before ten o’clock in the morning, their first guests finally arrived.

When several luxurious black cars parked outside the antique store, the crowd’s attention was instantly drawn toward them.

Stepping out of one of the black cars, a sturdy bodyguard opened the door of the second car and said, "Old Master, we have arrived."

"Mhm."

With the bodyguard’s support, Yu Tianshuo stepped out of the car while Yu Xiangyu came out from the other side.

Yu Tianshuo looked at the crowd in front of him before glancing at his grandson.

Walking up to his paternal grandfather, Yu Xiangyu held his arm and calmly said, "Paternal Grandfather, let’s go inside."

"Alright."

With the bodyguards clearing the way, Yu Xiangyu supported Yu Tianshuo as they walked into the antique store.

Seeing them coming, Bai Hanyun’s eyes lit up. Holding Feng Xiyan’s hand, she led him toward Yu Tianshuo.

Smiling at the old man, Bai Hanyun greeted him warmly, "Grandpa Yu, you are finally here. Welcome to my antique store."

Yu Tianshuo reached toward Bai Hanyun and held her right hand.

Gently patting the back of her hand, he said playfully, "After waiting for so long, I finally received your invitation. How could I miss the grand opening of your antique store?"

Bai Hanyun chuckled at his words before responding, "It’s my honor that you are willing to come. I hope there will be an antique that catches your eye today."

Yu Tianshuo laughed happily when he heard this and winked at her. "Hanyun really knows how to make this old man happy."

After saying that, he turned to look at Feng Xiyan. Looking at their interlocked fingers, he sighed inwardly.

’Alas... My wooden-headed grandson is completely out of luck now.’

With that thought in mind, he smiled at Bai Hanyun and probingly asked, "Hanyun, this young master is...?"

Reminded by him, Bai Hanyun introduced Feng Xiyan to him, "Grandpa Yu, this is my fiancé, Feng Xiyan. Xiyan, this is CEO Yu’s paternal grandfather, Yu Tianshuo."

Yu Tianshuo’s eyes scanned Feng Xiyan for a moment before thinking,’Feng Xiyan? Is there a Feng Clan in our circle?’

Unable to find an answer, Yu Tianshuo smiled at Feng Xiyan and reached out his hand. "Nice to meet you, Young Master Feng."

Feng Xiyan shook Yu Tianshuo’s hand before politely responding, "The pleasure is mine."

Just as he said that, the next guests arrived.

Seeing this, Yu Tianshuo said, "Hanyun, you don’t need to accompany me. Go and greet your guests. I will take a look around first."
