Chapter 154 Who's the Showman?

Chapter 154 Who's the Showman?

Chapter 154 Who's the Showman?

"Oh, I remember now, it's that person. He shouldn't be qualified for this banquet, how did he sneak in?"

Fu Xuan had also seen this kid's information.

A minor celebrity had affairs with many wealthy businessmen.

He got to where he is now thanks to those people throwing money at him.

At best, he's a third-rate celebrity with limited influence.

To put it bluntly, she's a high-class male prostitute.

Why would this kid show up at the Xia family's engagement banquet today?

"Did you see the man next to him?"

Fu Xuan glanced at it; he didn't recognize it.

Who is it?

"It should be one of Gu Tingxiao's cousins, who is a vice president in Gu's Group with no real power."

Fu Xuan understood.

"You mean, Gu Tingxiao was behind this?"

"It should be. Didn't you see that Gu Tingxiao didn't come?"

Li Quan had just scanned the area and didn't see Gu Tingxiao.

He loves to get involved in Xia family affairs, and his late arrival this time must be suspicious.

"Is there going to be a good show? Is someone plotting against Zhou Ran?"

"No, I suspect it's a scheme against Brother Xia."

Xia Chenggan's amnesia is a secret known to only a few people in the industry.

As the rightful heir to power.

Xia Chenggan's every move was being watched.

They are the same.

"Tsk tsk, what a pity, it was a one-sided crushing victory. This little star wasn't even good enough for President Xia to handle, which made it less interesting."

Fu Xuan felt it was a pity that Xia Chenggan could easily crush this minor celebrity.

Li Quan smiled.

"It's going to be quite interesting. Look at that over there."

Li Quan reached out and turned Fu Xuan's head to look at the other side.

In just a short while, people came down from the second floor.

A mother and daughter, dressed in rich attire, were descending the second floor step by step.

The young woman also looked familiar.

With Li Quan's reminder, Fu Xuan immediately remembered who this was.

This is not the other female protagonist that Zhou Ran met that day.

How interesting! This one banquet has brought together both of the main figures in the scandal.

"Let me introduce you all. This is my sister's niece, Nanzi,"

Fu Xuan raised an eyebrow as he watched his father speak eloquently about his father, thinking that today's spectacle might not be very interesting.

"I think I'm going to get dragged into this today."

Fu Xuan pouted, making even the colorful hair on his head appear somewhat dull.

Li Quan nodded.

"That's true. What's your family thinking?"

Fu Xuan shrugged. "Who knows? Anyway, they never told me."

Li Quan analyzed it for him.

"Today is the engagement banquet with the fourth son of the Xia family. You're making such a big fuss about introducing a niece. Is your family trying to use this niece as a substitute bride?"

Fu Xuan's face darkened slightly.

Li Quan, utterly lacking in comradeship, continued to add fuel to the fire.

"Xia Lao Si isn't dead yet, is he? Especially Xia Lao Wu, with that stubborn temper, if he dares to replace someone at the last minute, he'd kill them all on the spot, believe it or not?"

"Believe, believe, how can you not believe? It's really unlucky to see the spectacle happen to you. A smart person should think of a way to remedy this."

Fu Xuan had a headache.

It's strange, how could his older sister allow this to happen? It must be that woman Fu Miao who's behind it.

The old man listened to her nonsense the most.

He's really getting old and confused.

A substitute marriage could indeed protect Fu Miao from becoming a widow and also ensure the safety of both families' businesses.

But that only applies to aristocratic families with low social standing.

When the Fu family's abilities surpass those of the other party.

There are only advantages and no disadvantages to a substitute marriage.

But not now.

The Xia family is no ordinary family; they are the richest family in the country.

No matter how unreliable Xia Laosi is, he is still the Xia family's own son.

If it's just a discarded pawn, then so be it.

No, Xia Laosi is not.

He was spoiled by his parents, and by his older and younger brothers.

He's playing the role of the pampered playboy!

How could we allow such blatant provocation and a slap in the face?

Even if Xia Chengping didn't mind accepting it.

The Xia family would not allow such a deliberate act of humiliating their son to happen.

"Beg me!"

Li Quan became increasingly aggressive.

"Fine, I beg you, Boss Li, please have mercy and save your brother."

"This is the only way forward..."

Li Quan leaned close to Fu Xuan's ear and explained his plan.

Fu Xuan's lips twitched, and he looked at Li Quan in disbelief.

"Brother, you're saving me, not sabotaging me?"

He strongly suspects that he has recently offended Li Quan.

This kid's idea is blatantly a trap for him, a trap designed to kill him.

"Do you have another way?"

Fu Xuan lowered his head. If he had a way, he could still beg Li Quan to be humble and subservient to him.

"Forget it, I'd better go see my dad and sister and stop the fake engagement party from happening. Listening to you will only get me into trouble!"

Fu Xuan abandoned Li Quan and rushed off to find his father and sister.

Hopefully, he can persuade the two to change their minds.

The engagement party can be postponed, but it absolutely cannot be a substitute.

"The Xia family has arrived."

A shout rang out, and the gate opened.

Everyone headed towards the door to greet them.

Xiahou Nan, who was in charge, appeared at the door with his wife, Su Yue.

Following behind were Xia Chengjie and Xia Chengan.

Their appearance immediately made them the focus of everyone's attention.

Everyone enthusiastically surrounded him to exchange pleasantries.

No one saw that after they entered, a cute boy with curly hair and round eyes sneaked in.

Qiu Dun looked at Zhou Ran, who had slipped in like a thief.

remind.

"Boss, we'll walk in openly and honestly, they won't see us, so we don't have to act like thieves."

The Xia family attracted everyone's attention by deliberately staying far behind.

She dressed modestly.

Those who fawn over them won't notice them.

Zhou Ran reached out and nudged Qiu Dun's arm.

"What do you know? This is called a feeling, the sneaking around creates a lot of atmosphere."

"Oh, I didn't notice."

Qiu Dun's lack of understanding was out of respect.

Just like before, he didn't understand Zhou Ran's occasional outbursts of madness.

But they will listen and help without hesitation.

Anyway, Zhou Ran always had her reasons.

Even if he didn't, he wouldn't mind indulging Zhou Ran's quirky tastes and hobbies.

Qiu Dun accompanied Zhou Ran furtively into the banquet hall and to their table.

He watched as Zhou Ran pounced on a piece of cake and stuffed it into her mouth.

She silently covered her face.

What if their leader loses face?

Zhou Ran reached out and forcefully stuffed a small piece of chestnut cake into Qiu Dun's mouth.

"Eat up, you can only watch the show if you're full. This chestnut cake tastes pretty good."

"Boss, I prefer meat."

The chestnut cake in my mouth was sweet and delicious.

It's the flavor the eldest brother likes.

Judun prefers meat to sweets.

"Over there, I see some steak, let's go over!"

Zhou Ran grabbed Qiu Dun's wrist and pulled him to eat freshly grilled steak.

Their actions had already been noticed by others.

But no one will come up to them.

People who lower their standards like this will always be dealt with.

Those attending the banquet wouldn't go over there and get themselves into trouble.

Like in novels or melodramatic short dramas, where someone deliberately goes to humiliate another person.

Such a banquet does not exist.

After all, it's shameful to lose or not.

These people in positions of power are shrewd; they know their own value is higher than that of others.

At this time, maintaining a good image and building connections are the most important things.

A dog trying to humiliate someone by carrying a mouse not only lowers its own status but also diminishes its own worth.

They might actually run into a brick wall and end up with their families destroyed.

Who knows what kind of background someone has?

The best approach is to pretend you don't see it.

With waiters and bodyguards present, the two incongruous individuals were immediately spotted.

Others would rather be dressed up as decorative shelves.

He was decked out in high-end luxury and designer clothes, adorned with countless luxury items.

Zhou Ran and Qiu Dun were dressed very casually.

Qiu Dun was at least wearing a black casual suit.

Zhou Ran was wearing a white tracksuit and sweatpants.

It doesn't look like they're here to attend a banquet.

They seem to be out for a picnic or hiking.

And make friends with others first.

The two of them went straight to the dining table.

After eating pastries, we ate fruit, and after fruit, we even ate meat.

They reported the situation directly and will wait for the results.

They are ready to be driven out at any time, just give the order.

Who knew that what awaited them was a cautious order from above.

They also said that the young man was their eldest daughter-in-law.

Concealing their surprise, the waiters and bodyguards each kept to their duties, not daring to look too closely.

They are hotel staff.

Although the hotel where the banquet is being held now belongs to the Xia family.

However, the Xia family owns many businesses, and this is just one of them.

Xia Chenggan held his wedding only within the entertainment industry.

Employees of branch offices like theirs have no right to meet the young mistress of the Xia family.

When Xia Chenggan got married.

Red envelopes were given to all Xia's employees.

All they knew was that it was a man.

At the time, I marveled at how wealthy people knew how to have fun.

She actually married a man.

They also discussed what kind of fox this man was.

Surprisingly, it made President Xia abandon all his concerns.

To elevate someone to the position of legal wife.

I heard that this person particularly dislikes attending banquets.

Not even a photo of it has been released.

Who knew I'd actually meet him in person today?

Some people began to secretly observe Zhou Ran.

He cursed Xia Chenggan in his heart as a beast.

They actually attacked such a young person.

They are worse than animals.

Zhou Ran immediately noticed the scrutinizing gaze.

After glancing over and confirming there was no danger, I continued eating the meat.

Qiu Dun nudged Zhou Ran's arm with his elbow.

"I noticed the way they were looking at you was off; they're probably cursing you in their hearts."

"You're mistaken; it's probably not an insult directed at me."

Qiu Dun immediately understood.

"Oh, so that's the one who was cursing Xia Chenggan. Your face is really getting an advantage now, so innocent and harmless! It's just that you don't show your face often. If you did, Xia Chenggan would be posted online."

Qiu Dun hooked Zhou Ran's chin and carefully examined her face.

In his mind, the image of the eldest brother was still from his previous life.

With eyes like a hawk's, and too much white showing in them when looking at people, there's always a hint of scrutiny.

His appearance was too cold, coupled with a harsh mouth.

He has the typical mean face of a villain in a comic book.

Of course, she is exceptionally good-looking.

Looking at his face, I felt more fear than admiration.

No one dared to say he was handsome in front of Qiu Dun.

Unless you've had enough of living.

The men who once praised his good looks were all thrown into the sea to feed the fish.

The worst fate was to be torn to pieces, with the remaining skeleton hung at the door to be exposed to the sun for three days.

That stench is unforgettable!

That face left such a deep impression that every time Qiu Dun looked at it, he was seeing the image of his soul.

We always overlook how innocent and harmless this face is right now.

Qiu Dun could almost smell the milky aroma when he got closer.

It's really irresistible.
