Time flies, and at the end of the month, it was time for Xiao Qianqian's older brother to host a company banquet.

As a rising star in the capital, Brother Xiao invited most of the city's business elites. Rumors circulated that he was Ye Bosen's brother-in-law, so everyone was very supportive, seeing this as the best opportunity to get to know Ye Bosen.

That day, the hotel lobby was filled with elegant ladies and charming women. CEOs arrived with their female companions from time to time. Xiao Qianqian had brought Ye Bosen early on. After all, it was her older brother's first time hosting a banquet, and as his sister, she wanted to do her part.

Besides, her sister-in-law was pregnant, so it wasn't appropriate for her to attend such an occasion. Therefore, Xiao Qianqian basically took on the role of the hostess.

Xiao Qianqian was dressed in a gorgeous red gown, while Ye Bosen was dressed in a black haute couture outfit. Although he was in a wheelchair, his aura as a superior was second to none. Xiao Qianqian accompanied Ye Bosen, and they looked like a perfect couple.

Everyone attending the banquet today has received an invitation; guests without an invitation are not permitted entry.

Suddenly, a commotion arose at the doorway, and a stylishly dressed woman walked in. She wore a long red dress and a dazzling diamond necklace, attracting everyone's attention.

Xiao Qianqian's expression changed slightly when she saw her. She recognized the woman; wasn't this her dear younger sister, Rongrong?

Rongrong walked straight toward Ye Bosen, a hint of provocation in her eyes.

"Mr. Ye, it's been a long time," Rongrong said with a smile.

Ye Bosen's expression instantly turned cold. He replied indifferently, "Why are you here?" Xiao Qianqian would never have sent her an invitation. Could it have been sent by his older brother?

Xiao Qianqian quickly interjected, "Miss, do you have an invitation? If not, please leave." She didn't want Rongrong to ruin her brother's banquet.

Rongrong pulled out an invitation, waved it in front of Xiao Qianqian, and said smugly, "Of course I have an invitation. What, sister, are you trying to kick me out?"

People around noticed the commotion and looked over. Xiao Qianqian saw that the older brother on the side of the stage was about to go up and give a speech, and she didn't want to cause a commotion.

She lowered her voice; "You'd better behave, or don't blame me for being impolite."

Rongrong came with a purpose today. She heard that a new tycoon had come to the capital. This tycoon had been very successful in his career abroad. If he moved to the country, it would be an emerging industry, so his future was predictable. Most importantly, it was said that this man was very masculine.

She spent millions to make herself look good today; she refuses to believe that she can't win over this nouveau riche with her looks.

Once she wins over this new tycoon, she'll mock her older sister, saying she's just a cripple acting all high and mighty. According to what she's heard, this new tycoon is just as good-looking as Ye Bosen.

Rongrong ignored Xiao Qianqian's warning, gave them a defiant look, and then left with feigned elegance, beginning to mingle among the guests.

She has been back in the capital for about two years. From her initial naivety, she has now become adept at handling all kinds of men, and her methods are quite sophisticated. She has become a socialite in the capital's high society. She has also spent a lot of money to make minor adjustments to her appearance, and now she looks even more attractive.

The eldest brother had already stepped onto the stage. He cleared his throat, and the lively banquet hall began to quiet down.

The eldest brother smiled and looked at the guests below the stage and began to speak. Rongrong, who was still weaving among the guests, looked over at the voice on the stage. She saw that the man on the stage was about 1.8 meters tall. He was wearing a custom-made suit, which added to his charm. Every move he made exuded the aura of a superior.

"Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend tonight's banquet..." The man's voice was magnetic, and his handsome face instantly attracted the attention of many women, including Rongrong.

Rongrong looked at the man on the stage, a hint of amazement flashing in her eyes. She hadn't expected this newly rich man to be so outstanding in appearance, completely on par with Ye Bosen. She secretly rejoiced, her determination to win him over only strengthened.

At that moment, the man's gaze swept across the room, lingering on Rongrong for a brief moment. Rongrong thought the man had noticed her, and her heart skipped a beat with excitement. But then she realized that the man's gaze hadn't stayed with her; it had quickly moved away.

Rongrong was a little disappointed. She had thought that the nouveau riche was attracted by her appearance. After thinking about it, she cheered herself up. Maybe the nouveau riche had already taken a liking to her, but there were many guests, so he couldn't be too direct. Yes, that must be it.

She imagined many things for herself, and a confident smile returned to her face. She gazed adoringly at the man still speaking on the stage.

As the man finished speaking and stepped off the stage, Rongrong quickly composed herself, picked up her wine glass, and walked towards him.

"Mr. Xiao, hello, I'm Rongrong, it's a pleasure to meet you." Her voice was gentle and charming.

"Hello, Miss Rongrong."

The older brother responded politely, a slight smile playing on his lips, but his eyes revealed a sense of estrangement.

Rongrong was unaware and tried to continue talking to him. At this moment, several guests surrounded her, wanting to discuss cooperation with her elder brother. Rongrong was pushed away from her elder brother by them.

She glanced resentfully at the dazzling man surrounded by enemies, clenched her fists, and pondered how to take him down.

She turned and walked to the secluded balcony, sipping her wine while observing the crowd in the hall. The men she had previously targeted now seemed utterly unworthy of her compared to this man.

A number of guests had gathered around Xiao Qianqian and Ye Bosen, and everyone was chatting happily. While chatting with the guests, Xiao Qianqian kept glancing at Rongrong out of the corner of her eye. This restless woman was giving her trouble.

She had noticed the infatuated look in her eyes when she looked at her older brother. If this woman dared to make a move on her older brother, she wouldn't let her get away with it.

Rongrong noticed Xiao Qianqian's gaze and looked back defiantly.

She wasn't afraid of Xiao Qianqian at all. Besides, becoming the eldest daughter-in-law of the Xiao family would be much more prestigious than being an adopted daughter.

Rongrong made up her mind to do everything she could to get close to that nouveau riche.

Just then, she saw the nouveau riche walking towards the balcony, so she pretended to be drunk, swayed her body, and fell against the man.

The man instinctively reached out to support her, and Rongrong seized the opportunity to hook her arm around his and press her entire body against him. "Mr. Xiao, I'm so dizzy~" Rongrong said in a coquettish voice.

The man frowned, trying to break free from her grasp, but Rongrong clung to him too tightly. "Let go!" the man growled in a low voice.

Xiao Qianqian, on the other side, also noticed this scene. Her anger rose up. This Rongrong was indeed restless and had set her sights on her older brother.
