The next day after dealing with the matter, Liu Zhixiong helped Ye Lan to check out of the hotel.

"How can Master Ye live in such a shabby place? Come to my house and you can stay in any room you want."

He had just appeared in the news and was a well-known shipping tycoon in the local area. Many people knew him. Now he went to the hotel in person to pick people up, help with luggage, and check out, which attracted the attention of many people around him.

Ye Lan moved into the Liu family's house in the morning, and the scandal started spreading in the afternoon.

Hong Kong media are always good at creating gimmicks, with more than a dozen magazine pages full of headlines, each one more explosive than the last.

"The shipping tycoon's new love, the seventh concubine, has officially moved into the Liu family's mansion and is receiving extraordinary treatment."

'Intimate in the hotel, the shipping king got another beautiful girl.'

"The shipping tycoon's woman has a new mahjong player at her table."

…

When the gossip magazine came out, almost every citizen had a copy, and even the disciples of the Xuanmen Association secretly bought several copies and read them in private.

It just so happened that Xiao Yunting had suffered some internal injuries and was recuperating in the association. I don’t know which disciple was so wicked as to put magazines in his room to entertain him.

As a result, as soon as he came back from his injury, he saw a photo on the cover of a magazine showing Liu Zhixiong and Ye Lan walking out of the hotel lobby side by side.

Ye Lan's face was blurred, but her figure and clothes could be easily identified at a glance. Liu Zhixiong next to her was carrying the luggage himself, bowing slightly and smiling.

It is clearly a scene of compliments, but coupled with the huge romantic debate topic, it seems a bit unserious.

Xiao Yunting frowned, feeling that the treatment was not very effective this time, and his heart still felt uncomfortable.

Qu Yueqing followed in a few steps behind and also saw the magazine. After a slight flash of disdain in her eyes, she sat down on the other side of the table. "There's a jewelry auction in a few days. A friend here asked me to do a jewelry display. Do you want to come?"

Xiao Yunting casually poured a cup of tea and threw the magazine aside. He responded in a deep voice, "Hmm."

Qu Yueqing's fingers, which had been secretly clenched under the table, loosened, and the corners of her mouth curled up unconsciously, revealing a hint of joy. "Okay, I'll tell you the time and place then."

After she finished speaking, she stood up and adjusted her skirt. She saw out of the corner of her eye that the man did not make any move to keep her, so she could only say goodbye and go back to the hotel.

After she got into the Xiao family's luxury car at the door, the daughter of the jewelry exhibition organizer called her.

"Dear, how's it going? Has your fiancé agreed to come?"

Twenty-four Filial Exemplars.

Hearing this, Qu Yueqing felt a little bitter in her heart, but she still responded with a smile: "Well, he will participate, and we will go together then."

"That's great! The richest man in the world has never shown up yet. I really envy you for being able to see such an expensive face every day, and for him to obey you in everything. I don't know how much blessing you accumulated in your previous life." The good friend half-jokingly and half-complimented, but the envy in his tone was unfaithful.

Although the Qu family was a prominent family in the past, it was not to the point where everyone in the circle fawned over them, and her title of the most talented woman in the imperial capital was actually not that famous.

But ever since Xiao Yunting started pursuing her, she has become the focus of attention, and even the daughter of a top jewelry tycoon has to curry favor with her.

"It's okay, he..." Qu Yueqing wanted to be modest, but she couldn't find any flaws in the man after thinking for a long time.

His face was stunningly handsome, his figure had the golden ratio of broad shoulders and narrow waist, and even his skills were top-notch.

A nearly perfect person, full of mystery, which sometimes makes her feel unreal.

My good friend on the other end laughed and joked, "Well, if you can't explain it, don't force it. So many celebrities in the circle are jealous of you. They're probably going to eat you up at the auction in a few days. So, are you staying in the same room with Mr. Xiao when you come to Hong Kong this time? Let me tell you, it's better to strike first. If that doesn't work, it's safer to take the child with you."

This is solid advice.

After all, it is not easy to marry into a wealthy family, let alone someone with Xiao Yunting's wealth. As long as he shows up, even if he is a fool, there will be many women throwing themselves at him and promising themselves to him.

"What are you talking about? I won't talk to you anymore. Let's talk when we meet." Qu Yueqing said angrily and hung up the phone.

The moment the screen went dark, the smile on her face disappeared completely, and she couldn't help but smile bitterly as she looked at the lonely carriage.

Who could believe that Xiao Yunting had pursued her for so long, but they had never even held hands.

Even when he agreed to date the other party, the other party only had a meal with her and then left.

She didn't understand. Even someone as cold as Xiao Yunting was clearly accommodating her. Her identity was unconditionally announced at many public dinners, and everyone in the circle knew about it.

He was even willing to spend a fortune on her without blinking an eye.

These may seem like acts of extreme pampering to outsiders, but behind the scenes there is only alienation and rejection.

The assistant said he had mysophobia, but Xiao Yunting clearly hugged the girl on the cruise ship.

Thinking of the scene of the two fighting side by side, Qu Yueqing's nails dug deep into her palms again...

On a famous mountain far away from the coast.

The newly built residence of Emperor Xuanzong of Qing at the foot of the volcano was always crowded with people, and his disciples were kept busy just receiving guests who came to bring gifts.

A disciple passed by and pulled the people in the backyard, lowering his voice to urge: "Why hasn't the sect leader come yet?"

The man was very helpless and pointed at the food on the plate. "I was so angry that I didn't even have lunch. I think it's better for my senior brother to preside over the sacrificial ceremony in the front hall."

The senior brother was overwhelmed and scratched the few remaining hairs, but he finally accepted his fate and took care of this big mess.

Qing Xuanzong was founded seven years ago by the remaining disciples of the sect who came to rescue the victims of the volcanic eruption.

It is said that a great man died in the global crisis that year. He was unwilling to leave this place and stubbornly stayed at the crater, holding on to this only wish.

After the crisis was resolved, the people nearby were grateful for the sect's support, and gradually the dilapidated temple where he lived became popular, and later Emperor Xuanzong of the Qing Dynasty was born.

Two years after the revival of spiritual energy, that disciple broke through to the Xuanzhen body and became one of the best masters in the world of cultivation. More and more people came to him to become his disciples, and Emperor Xuanzong of Qing also became famous.

Today is the annual ceremony to commemorate the victims of the volcano, but at this moment, Emperor Xuanzong of the Qing Dynasty is furiously talking on the phone in the room.

"Brother, I'm ready to go for the matchmaking meeting we agreed on, and you're telling me it's all a sham? Now he's gone to Hong Kong and made the headlines. Look at what kind of crap is this news!"

Xie Chenan nearly smashed the magazine on the table into powder with one palm, and was so angry that his heart ached.

Across the street, Xie Changhua, the eldest brother of the Xie family who had been promoted to deputy hall master, knew he was in the wrong and coughed awkwardly twice. "This is a gag order from the elders, and I'm in a difficult position too. The clan leader just said he was out on some business, and I thought he'd be back in a couple of days, but I didn't expect..."

The other party went to Hong Kong in the blink of an eye, and the scandal was reported in magazines.

He had seen his brother's obsession with Ye Lan over the years, so he didn't dare to hide it anymore when the call came.

Sure enough, Xie Chenan almost beat Xuanzong to vent his anger.

After a fit of tantrum, Xie Chenan finally calmed down and said, "Whoever wants to go to that marriage-seeking meeting can go. I want to go to Hong Kong."
