Chapter 120 Female Supporting Character System 12

Unable to go over and say hello, he took out his phone and sent a message to Ning Yan.

Request for a night: [I knew you would look stunning in this outfit.]

But when you actually wore it, I regretted it.

I really want to gouge out the eyes of everyone around me who's staring at you.

Ning Yan glanced around after reading the message, then sent a message to Qiu Shenjing: "Wherever I appear, I'm always the center of attention."

Qiu Jingting chuckled. Thinking back to the past banquets, when she stood beside Lu's mother and was praised by the ladies of various families, it was indeed true that she was the most dazzling person wherever she was.

Requesting a one-night stand: [Did you see your fiancé?]

They don't give you any face at all, unlike me, who only has eyes for you.

This guy never misses an opportunity to show off, as if he's afraid Ning Yan won't know what he's thinking.

Ning Yan: [Jiaojiao is here, I'm not talking to you anymore.]

Seeking a one-night stand: [In your heart, I'm not even as important as your best friend, am I?]

But he did not receive a reply because Ning Yan had already put her phone away.

Of course, he felt that even if she saw it, that heartless woman would probably only say one thing: "You're quite self-aware."

At this moment, the two sisters had already gone to eat together, completely forgetting about President Qiu.

"Try this cream square. It's not too sweet; the flavor is just right."

Ning Yan doesn't really like sweets, so she only had a couple of bites and that was it. She still prefers regular meals.

He secretly picked up a plate of food and dragged Wang Yuejiao to a secluded corner to eat, so that they would have the energy to watch the next show.

Ning Yan ate with great relish the red crab noodles, red wine and Wagyu beef, and boneless pig's trotters.

Qiu Jingting laughed again. Who comes to a banquet like this to eat?

He would only drink a few glasses of wine at most during social events, never eating anything. Just as he was thinking this, several business partners approached him, and he had no choice but to look away and exchange pleasantries with them.

Ning Yuan and his father also came over this time. They didn't interfere when they saw their younger sister (daughter) eating happily.

Lu Ziheng naturally saw Ning Yan as well, but he couldn't bear to see her looking like she hadn't eaten. She came from a good family, but she couldn't use the resources at her disposal and didn't know how to socialize. Marrying a woman like that wouldn't be much of a help to him, unlike Xiaolu, who was shrewd and charming wherever she went and handled everyone perfectly.

Just as he was lost in thought, someone came over to chat with him. He casually picked up a bottle of wine from a waiter's tray, clinked glasses with the waiter, and then started talking about business.

In the past few days, the Lu family's stock price has plummeted, and its market value has evaporated by countless billions. Fortunately, the hype surrounding the losses from gambling on stones only lasted for a few days, and the Lu family's stock price has stabilized today. Otherwise, he wouldn't even be in the mood to attend the banquet.

Half an hour later, the lounge suddenly became lively, with many people rushing over there. Ning Yan glanced at the man not far away, and then walked over with Wang Yuejiao.

The crowd parted to make way for them as they passed, and those who knew her showed expressions of sympathy.

In the lounge, Lu Ziheng's clothes were clearly put on in a hurry, with one button fastened incorrectly, and his hair was also somewhat messy, completely unlike the neatness he had when he first arrived.

When things quieted down outside, he looked up and his gaze met Ning Yan's.

"Ning Yan, I can explain."

Ning Yan stood tall and straight, her long hair cascading gently down her back. Her fair arms even shimmered softly under the hallway lights, and her dress made her appear even more elegant and composed.

Even though the scene before her was incredibly embarrassing, she still wore a faint smile, as if the man inside wasn't her fiancé at all, but a complete stranger.

"No need. You should deal with the two people inside first. I'll have my father pay them a visit sometime."

After saying that, she nodded slightly to the other person, and then turned and left.

Some people in the crowd whispered, "This Ning family member is truly a lady of high society. Look at her reaction. Anyone else would have gone crazy on the spot."

Everyone knows that she was so infatuated with the man in the story that the two families arranged the marriage.

Even so, she still had to consider her fiancé's feelings.

"No matter how good it is, we can't catch the person inside. Now we really don't know which family will benefit from this?"

After all, Ning Yan's words just now made it very clear what she wanted to do by coming to visit.

Could it be that they're praising President Lu for being truly capable?

Of course, the engagement should be called off.

Lu Ziheng was extremely frustrated. He looked at the person on the bed who was covered up tightly, then at the person in front of him who was looking at him with a cold face, and then at the person who had left so calmly just now. For the first time, he felt that his judgment was not very good.

That's right, Zhou Xiaobai is up to her old tricks again. She drugged Qin Xiaolu, but Lu Ziheng noticed something was wrong with her. The drug was too strong, so Lu Ziheng took the opportunity to have his way with her.

Zhou Xiaobai thought Qin Xiaolu had been violated by another man, so he specially brought people to catch them in the act. Unexpectedly, they caught Lu Ziheng instead!

Fortunately, the moment Zhou Xiaobai started making a scene, Lu Ziheng covered the unconscious Qin Xiaolu tightly, so these people didn't see Qin Xiaolu's face.

Lu Ziheng now loathed Zhou Xiaobai to the extreme; if it weren't for her actions today, things wouldn't have turned out this way.

He has completely lost face, and he is also afraid that someone will post the incident online.

At this moment, the host of the banquet arrived, asked the onlookers to leave, and brought clothes to Lu Ziheng and his companion. Lu Ziheng forced a smile and thanked him.

No one knows what the host of the banquet was thinking, but he always had a smile on his face. After delivering the clothes, he left and helped close the door to the lounge.

Lu Ziheng personally changed Qin Xiaolu's clothes on the bed, then quietly carried her away.

As he expected, the incident in the lounge was posted online in less than half an hour and quickly became a trending topic.

Lu's PR department was busy cursing while simultaneously removing trending topics from the list. If they couldn't remove the trending topics, they could only delete comments and control public opinion.

...

After what happened at the banquet, the Ning family naturally all left, and the three of them arrived home one after the other.

The father and his two children went to the study. "Yanyan, are you alright?"

"What could possibly be wrong with me? Oh, does being quite happy count?"

The father and son exchanged a glance, then both breathed a sigh of relief. "As long as you're happy. Lu Ziheng is unlucky; he'll regret missing out on you."

"Who cares if he regrets it or not? I'm the one who lives my life, and I just want to be happy."

"Alright, since you've already decided to give up on him, I'll go find Old Lu tomorrow and cancel your engagement."

The Lu family has been having a tough time lately, so they definitely can't afford to do anything unnecessary. The Mujia Garden project can be handed over directly to them; we just need the cash and then we'll withdraw.”

"Besides, I can't give up the compensation I deserve. His son cheated on me so badly, and I've suffered tremendous psychological trauma. I can't let him get away with nothing!"
