Kelly addressed Charlie Wade and ire, saying, “Mr. Wade, ire, let me introduce you to Mitsui Nagayasu, the vice chairman of the Mitsui family board of directors. Mr. Mitsui is overseeing the Tawana Tokyo concert this time.” Mitsui Nagayasu could sense from the conversation that Charlie and ire shared a close bond with Fei Kexin, implying that they held significant influence over her. Despite her efforts to invite Fei Kexin to the event and concert, she had declined. Kelly, however, suggested that if Fei Kexin knew Charlie and ire were attending, she would likely reconsider her decision, highlighting the special connection she had with them.


    Without waiting for Charlie and ire to respond, Mitsui respectfully introduced himself, saying, “Mr. Wade, Mrs. Wade, I am Sanjing Changkang. It’s a pleasure to meet you!”


    Although Charlie Wade wasn’t keen on socializing at that moment, he didn’t want to dismiss someone who approached him with a smile. He shook Mitsui’s hand and exchanged a few polite words.


    Watching the second-inmand of the Sanjing family treating Charlie Wade with such respect made Sasaki Miki increasingly anxious. She recalled how she had just made a snide remark about Charlie and ire, and now she felt even more uneasy about her earlierments.


    Just then, an elderly man approached with a friendly smile, addressing Sasaki Sachiko, who appeared confused nearby: “Sachiko, haven’t you introduced your grandfather to these two guests yet? What are their names?”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    The speaker was Sasaki Taro, the grandfather of Sasaki Sachiko and Sasaki Miki. He was the leader of the Sasaki family and had a connection to the Sanjing family through his sister, who had married into it. This rtionship had allowed their family to forge ties with the Sanjing family.


    Taro Sasaki’s standing in this elite circle was somewhat precarious, much like his granddaughter Miki’s. He often found it difficult to voice his opinions. However, he was surprised that his eldest granddaughter, who usually blended into the background, had managed to invite such important guests. He was eager to seize this opportunity to showcase his family’s status.


    When Sasaki Sachiko heard her grandfather’s inquiry, she was about to respond, but Charlie Wade interjected, saying, “Sir, we’re not distinguished guests. Just as Miss Miki mentioned earlier, I really shouldn’t be here mingling, so I’ll excuse myself.”


    He then turned to Kelly with a smile, saying, “Kelly, you all can continue your conversation. Let’s find a quiet corner so we don’t disrupt anyone.”


    Kelly quickly replied, “Mr. Wade, I don’t particrly enjoy bustling events either. How about we go together?”


    Charlie Wade nodded and smiled, “Sure, let’s move to that corner and chat.”


    As Kelly, Charlie, and the others turned to head to the corner, those they left behind exchanged nces. Many began to look at Sasaki Miki with questioning expressions, causing her to feel increasingly uneasy.


    Taro Sasaki then confronted her sternly: “Miki! What just happened? Why were you so disrespectful to Mr. Wade?!”


    Miki stammered, “I… I don’t know, Grandpa… I thought he didn’t look important, so I didn’t want him to bother you, and I identally said the wrong thing…”


    Taro Sasaki scoffed, “In this day and age, judging someone by their clothing is incredibly foolish. It’s embarrassing. You should go home and reflect on your actions!”<fn24f1> The rightful source is find?novel</fn24f1>


    Miki, who had been eagerly anticipating the party and concert, felt her heart sink at her grandfather’s words. She hadn’t even seen Tawana yet, and now her grandfather was sending her home, ruining all her hopes for the day. Thinking of this made her plead, “Grandpa… I know I was wrong. Please give me another chance. I promise I won’t judge people by their appearance again…”


    However, Sasaki Taro remained unmoved, responding firmly, “There’s nothing to negotiate. Go back quickly, and don’t embarrass the Sasaki family any further!”


    Seeing her grandfather’s resolute stance, Miki’s eyes filled with tears, but before she could beg him to reconsider, someone hurried over to Mitsui Nagayasu, eximing, “Mr. Mitsui! The master, the eldestdy, and Tawana’s motorcade have arrived!”
