Ten years in Huating have been turbulent, with behind-the-scenes capital always omnipresent. Beneath the calm surface, undercurrents always churn; lights flicker on and off, and human affairs ebb a...
Jiang Banchi watched as the other woman nestled beside Huo Zhongyuan, her eyes dry and sore. She took a deep breath, trying to control herself and prevent her emotions from showing.
Suddenly, she thought of someone, her eyes filled with gloom, and a smile gradually appeared on her lips. She picked up her phone and opened the message.
We found someone whose name is Muyangerju.
She picked up her phone and fiddled with it, pretending to take a selfie.
Actually, she sent the photos to Muyang Erju and wrote a message: "Sister Mu, Brother Zhongyuan brought a woman. Their behavior is ambiguous. You should be careful."
After sending the message, she leaned back on the sofa, squinting and coldly scrutinizing the other person.
She is indeed outstanding in appearance, but I wonder if she can remain so calm when she encounters that lunatic Mu Bai.
After making the call outside, Qi Bei returned to the private room.
Pushing open the door, he immediately saw Zhong Yuan sitting in the middle, with a girl sitting next to him. The two were very close, but not far apart. He couldn't see clearly under the light, but from Zhong Yuan's protective posture, he could tell how much he valued her.
"Brother Zhongyuan!"
Huo Zhongyuan looked up at him, nodded, and then lowered his head to introduce him.
"This is the friend I told you about who's flying to Y country tomorrow."
"Hmm~"
Judging from his demeanor, although the other person was casual, his eyes were clear and honest, and he should be a friend that Senior Brother Huo values.
After Qin Suisui entered, she began to observe secretly and was able to roughly discern the basic information of the members in the private room.
At this moment, she listened quietly as Senior Brother Huo gave a brief introduction of the other party.
As the two were talking, Qi Bei had already walked over.
"Brother Zhongyuan, this must be your wife!"
"Hmm!" Huo Zhongyuan said lazily, a faint smile playing on his lips.
"Hello, sister-in-law, I'm Qi Bei!"
The word "sister-in-law" made Qin Suisui blush slightly, and she nodded to Qi Bei.
Hello! I'm Qin Suisui!
"Qin Suisui?"
Qi Bei, who had been calm just moments before, stared wide-eyed at Qin Suisui, then turned to look at Huo Zhongyuan.
"The Qin Dynasty law from the Law Offices of Rhodes and Dunn?"
"Yes!"
Qin Suisui calmly looked at Qi Bei, who had a surprised expression on his face, not understanding why he looked so strange.
Qi Bei laughed: "I've heard of Qin Suisui from the Law Offices of Luo Dun for a long time, but I've never had the chance to meet her. It's really fate that we meet at my own farewell banquet today!"
Huo Zhongyuan glanced at him: "Speak properly!"
"Sigh~"
Qi Bei was about to laugh when he thought of the other party's brutal methods, so he touched his nose and continued to introduce himself.
"My uncle-in-law is Dong Shu, the director of the legal department of Huating Power!"
“At our family gatherings recently, my uncle has been praising you highly, saying that studying abroad should be like you, learning from the West’s strategy of using barbarians to control barbarians, and that I should take you as my role model.”
"That's Director Dong, Miao Zan!"
Qin Suisui smiled reservedly. Huating is really small; you can recognize people just by turning a corner.
"Now that we've been introduced and gotten to know each other, hurry up and go back to your seat."
Huo Zhongyuan frowned as he looked at the obstructive giant in front of him, wanting nothing more than for him to return to his place as soon as possible.
"Yes, sir!"
Qi Bei sensed Huo Zhongyuan's impatience; if he continued to stand there, he was probably going to cause trouble. After greeting Qin Suisui, he turned around and sat down next to Fu Bowen.
"Not bad, we've been chatting all this time while enduring Boss Huo's gaze."
Fu Bowen picked up the wine glass on the table and handed it over.
Qi Bei took the wine glass, the two clinked glasses, and drank it all in one gulp.
"Boss Huo really doesn't settle for less when he has a girlfriend; she's one in a million."
"You know him?"
Fu Bowen raised his eyebrows. Zhong Yuan brought his girlfriend here, but he only introduced her name and didn't say anything else.
"Doesn't her name sound familiar?"
Qi Bei picked up the wine bottle on the table and filled his glass.
"Qin Suisui from the Law Offices of Luo Dun, I don't believe you haven't heard of her!"
"Holy crap!"
Fu Bowen suddenly realized why he had always felt that Zhong Yuan's girlfriend looked strangely familiar.
"Is it really her?"
"What do you think? I just talked to her, and my uncle speaks highly of her. Apparently, her legal fees in the US have already reached this amount!"
Qi Bei stretched out his hand and gestured.
Fu Bowen: "Five hundred thousand?"
"Five hundred thousand M yuan! And that's just the base price!"
Qi Bei glanced at Huo Zhongyuan with envy. Even his choice of girlfriend was just like Huo Zhongyuan's. Huo Zhongyuan was exceptionally capable and looked down on them from a high place.
Huo Zhongyuan felt the two men's gazes constantly on him, and gave them a cold glance.
"What's wrong?"
Qin Suisui noticed his unusual behavior and turned to ask him softly.
"It's nothing! I suddenly realized that some men are just too talkative."
Huo Zhongyuan squeezed her hand, feeling its softness, and couldn't help but take it to his lips and kiss the back of her hand.
Qin Suisui's hand jerked violently, and she looked around. Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Stop fooling around!" She looked up and glared at him, which made Huo Zhongyuan chuckle softly.
Jiang Banchi sat to one side. Although he couldn't hear what the two were saying, their intimate behavior and ambiguous smiles told him that Zhong Yuan was now being seduced by that woman.
Holding her breath, she got up and walked up to the two of them, giving Huo Zhongyuan a sweet smile.
"Brother Zhongyuan, why don't you invite your girlfriend over to our place for a chat?"
Huo Zhongyuan glanced at her indifferently, then looked at Qin Suisui with his profile.
"Sui Sui, do you want to go there?"
Qi Bei had been eagerly waiting on the sidelines, just waiting for him to take some time to talk about their investments in O State.
"I'll go take a look."
Qin Suisui slowly stood up. From the moment she entered the private room, the woman standing next to her had been looking at her with a strange gaze.
From the way the other woman stood, her body naturally leaning towards Senior Brother Huo, she knew that this woman liked Senior Brother Huo.
The newcomer seemed to have ill intentions. With a playful look in her eyes, she followed him over, wanting to see what he was up to.
"Hi!"
Pei Qing was slightly surprised to see that Qin Suisui had actually come with Jiang Banchi, but he didn't show it on his face and greeted them with a smile.
"Sit here."
Pei Qing stood up and moved to the side of the sofa, glancing at Jiang Banchi who was sitting opposite her. She thought to herself, "Is she planning to cause trouble in front of Brother Zhongyuan?" If so, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. "Then this is going to be interesting."
After Qin Suisui sat down, she smiled and extended her hand: "Hello, I am Pei Qing, my brother is Pei Mo, and he and Zhong Yuan are university classmates."
She pointed to a man of medium build who was walking toward the terrace with his back to them.
"It's the shortest one."
Qin Suisui's eyes curved into a smile: "Hello, I'm Qin Suisui!"
Pei Qing began scrutinizing Qin Suisui from the moment she entered the private room. From afar, she appeared bright and beautiful, but up close, she seemed even more naturally beautiful, with her snow-white skin radiating a soft glow under the light.
She couldn't help but exclaim, "Brother Zhongyuan is so lucky!"
These words almost made Jiang Banchi, who had just sat down, lose his composure, and he glared at her coldly.
