The Ling family?
Could it be Ling Zhiyan?
Wen Shengsheng's heart skipped a beat. She turned around to look for someone, and Qin Heming, who was beside her, noticed her little action and frowned slightly!
Ling Zhiyan, who has been disabled in both legs, rarely appears in public. Her attendance at the banquet today has led to much speculation among those present.
Those who knew some of the inside information all looked at the shy Meng Qiqi, it seemed the rumors were true.
Ling Zhiyan must have done this for Meng Qiqi, which shows how much he values her. As the crowd dispersed, Wen Shengsheng got a clear look at the man's face.
It was him!
The man in the wheelchair in the villa area.
In an instant, Wen Shengsheng's emotions surged, followed by Qin Heming's sinister voice: "You like it very much?"
"How could that be, Mr. Qin? If you do that... I'll think you're jealous?" Wen Shengsheng stared slyly into his eyes. His earlobes turned slightly red. Wen Shengsheng smiled in surprise, and a hint of embarrassment flashed in his eyes. However, Wen Shengsheng's deep smile was noticed by many people.
Qin Heming narrowed his eyes slightly, a dark undercurrent gathering in them. After a long while, the corners of his lips twitched slightly. "To presume to know my feelings so casually, you—you're really bold."
At this moment, Wen Shengsheng's smile gradually froze and stiffened. She gave an awkward laugh and said, "I... I just said it casually!"
"..."
The strange atmosphere between the two vanished instantly when the Wen family's teasing voices reached them.
Wen Shengsheng noticed that they had pushed Meng Qiqi in front of Ling Zhiyan. The most important thing was Meng Qiqi's shy and timid appearance. Everyone else could see the key point at a glance.
Ling Zhiyan is good, but he is disabled.
Meng Qiqi is the apple of the eye of the Wen and Meng families. Would they be willing to marry her off to a cripple?
No one from the Meng family attended today's banquet, but the Wen family parents did not. Instead of stopping them, they smiled broadly. This—
Many people can't understand their actions anymore.
Wen Shengsheng kept an eye on their direction, a secret joy in her heart, while Qin Hemian wore a playful expression.
Soon, business people came to offer toasts, and they were very respectful to Qin Heming.
As a female companion, Wen Shengsheng was very comfortable and at ease.
These people could also become her potential clients. Wen Shengsheng spoke eloquently, and her confidence amidst the crowd seemed to shield her from some barriers.
This was the first time Qin Heming had seen this side of Wen Shengsheng, and his eyes showed surprise, amazement, and admiration.
“Miss Wen, you may be able to smell the ingredients in it…” One of the middle-aged men took out a bottle of newly made perfume and handed it to Wen Shengsheng.
She took the spray and applied it to her wrist. Wen Shengsheng smiled at the middle-aged man and said, "It's a spicy floral scent, with a blend of pink pepper, jasmine, and—" She lowered her head and sniffed.
Noticing the middle-aged man's intense gaze, she raised her red lips and affirmed, "Amber, patchouli, white musk... and vanilla, that's why the perfume's scent is so mellow and lingering. Am I right?"
The middle-aged man was overjoyed. His eyes were full of admiration as he looked at Wen Shengsheng, and he praised her without reservation.
"Very good, very good... Miss Wen is not only beautiful, but also has such profound insights into incense making. She can identify the ingredients simply by smell. Miss Wen is extremely sensitive to the scent of incense. I wonder if Miss Wen would be willing to join our company? You can name your salary and benefits..."
This sudden offer stunned Wen Shengsheng.
“Hey… Old Wang, it’s not appropriate for you to poach people in front of Mr. Qin.”
"I really..."
"Old Wang, let's go over there. Old Li is here. Let's go see him first... Mr. Qin, Miss Wen, please excuse us."
After Lao Wang was taken away, Wen Shengsheng felt completely relieved.
"Wen Shengsheng, you surprised me."
She suddenly looked up and met Qin Heming's smiling eyes again. She smiled and said, "So Mr. Qin should already know my value. I will make the fragrance you want." There might be a tiny difference in the scent, but Qin Heming shouldn't notice it.
The sight of them together is truly beautiful.
A perfect match, a man of talent and a woman of beauty!
Meng Qiqi felt very uncomfortable. In her previous life, Qin Heming treated her coldly, never looked at her properly, and didn't even allow her to get close to him. But in this life, he treated Wen Shengsheng so differently.
Hmph, keep being smug for a while. Even if they can't kill you, the Qin family will torture you to death.
As for Qin Hemian—
Meng Qiqi absolutely did not believe that he could be interested in Wen Shengsheng; no one could bring the Buddhist prince of the Beijing circle down from his pedestal.
"Qiqi...how did your chat with Ling Zhiyan go?" Wen's mother stepped forward and asked with concern.
But Meng Qiqi's eyes were shining: "Mom, Zhiyan is very good to me." He is refined and elegant, a top-notch husband.
Mrs. Wen said with relief, "That's good... Actually, Ling Zhiyan is good in every way, it's just his legs..."
A cripple...
Wen's mother was worried that Meng Qiqi had been wronged.
She grasped Wen's mother's hand and shook it gently, assuring her, "Believe me, Zhiyan will definitely be able to stand up again in the future."
At that time, she will live a happy and fulfilling life with Ling Zhiyan and become the enviable third young mistress of the Ling family.
The mother found Meng Qiqi's confident tone strange, but she believed in her.
Meng Qiqi hugged her mother and said with a smile, "Mom, I will be happy, and my sister will be happy too. Look how well my sister and Mr. Qin match. My sister is so popular wherever she goes..."
Wen's mother's brows furrowed almost instinctively.
Outside, Wen's mother didn't say anything unpleasant!
Seeing this, Meng Qiqi smiled and exchanged a glance with Lin Bei in the distance.
Just then, a short man burst in, dressed in tattered clothes. Everyone at the banquet looked astonished, followed by disgust.
Some people said to kick him out immediately, calling him a stinking beggar who appeared out of nowhere.
“I want my wife… You have no right to kick me out. I came here to find my wife…”
Who's your wife?
"Could he be a lunatic? Maybe he escaped from a mental hospital. What if someone like that has some kind of infectious disease? How terrifying would that be?"
“Wait, he’s already here. He said he’s looking for his wife, so why don’t we let someone look for her?” Lin Bei smiled, her gaze fixed on Wen Shengsheng with hostility.
It is obvious—
Qin Heming sensed that it seemed to be related to Wen Shengsheng. Qin Heming pursed his lips, and a chilling coldness surged in his eyes.
"Tell me, where is your wife?"
"Speak up now, or I'll kick you out!"
...
The short man pointed at Wen Shengsheng and said, "It's her, she's my wife." The short man's filthy eyes lingered on Wen Shengsheng, and he was practically drooling. The entire audience erupted in uproar at his identification!
Shock, curiosity, disdain—
With a hint of schadenfreude, all these people's eyes fell on Wen Shengsheng.
"Oh my god, sister... could you really be his wife?" Meng Qiqi covered her mouth in surprise.
