Pei Qing ignored Jiang Banchi's sinister gaze and continued to praise him.
"Can you tell me how you take care of your skin? It's so smooth and fair!"
She touched her face. Lately, she had been eating and drinking everywhere without any restraint, and her face had developed several small red pimples, making her skin much rougher.
"Qingqing, how can you compare to Miss Qin? She spends so much time and effort on her appearance every day. How can you compare?"
Jiang Banchi's words were spoken in a teasy tone, which made Qin Suisui look at her with a half-smile.
"Miss, how do you know how much effort I put into my appearance? Do you know me?"
"Is there even a question?"
Jiang Banchi smiled frivolously: "Zhongyuan likes you so much now, Miss Qin, you should keep up the good work and maintain your current state!"
"And who are you? How do you know exactly what kind of person Huo Zhongyuan likes?"
Qin Suisui never bothered with veiled conversations; she preferred to get straight to the point and expose hypocrisy.
"Are you very familiar with Huo Zhongyuan?"
Jiang Banchi was caught off guard by the other party's aggressive questioning and stammered a bit.
“I am Zhongyuan’s classmate. We are both classmates at Cambridge University in Y country.”
When talking about her university classmates, she glanced at them sideways, her eyes unconsciously filled with arrogance. Cambridge University in Y country is one of the world's top universities, not comparable to this woman across from her who is all looks and no substance.
"Oh, just a college classmate? I thought you were his sister! But I still have to ask, besides college classmate, who are you?"
"Her name is Jiang Banchi!"
Pei Qing watched with great interest, and seeing Jiang Banchi speechless when Zhong Yuan's girlfriend asked him a question, he chimed in.
"Jiang Banchi, is that right? I've never heard Huo Zhongyuan mention you before!"
Qin Suisui frowned as she looked at her.
"But I'm curious, you still haven't told me what kind of person Huo Zhongyuan likes, where you found out, and how you know so clearly?"
She glanced at the other people sitting to the side watching the show, and picked one of them to ask.
"Are you aware of Huo Zhongyuan's preferences?"
The man whose name was called immediately shook his head.
"I don't know."
"Just kidding, who could guess Huo Zhongyuan's preferences!" He glanced at Jiang Banchi subtly; it was going to be difficult to back down today.
"Miss Qin, I was just saying that. Please don't push your luck. Your aggressive attitude will anger Brother Zhongyuan one day!"
"Yeah?"
Qin Suisui looked up and waved in Huo Zhongyuan's direction.
"Huo Zhongyuan!"
The sound was neither too loud nor too soft, just enough for Huo Zhongyuan to hear.
Huo Zhongyuan immediately stopped the discussion, got up and walked towards them.
"Miss Qin, is it really necessary to make such a big deal out of a few casual remarks?"
Seeing Huo Zhongyuan approach, Jiang Banchi felt a little flustered and lowered his voice to speak.
Qin Suisui glanced at her, remained seated, and reached out her hand to Huo Zhongyuan, who was walking over.
Huo Zhongyuan took her hand, sat down beside her, looked her over, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"The Ms. Jiang across from me advised me to pay more attention to skincare, in case you dump me one day."
Qin Suisui raised her chin slightly, glancing at him sideways with a rare air of languid elegance.
"Tell her, who am I to you? Do I need her to tell me what to do?"
Huo Zhongyuan reached out and put his arm around her, then turned his gaze to the opposite side and gave Jiang Banchi a cold look.
"Jiang, we are just ordinary classmates. Please be careful with your words."
He put his arm around Qin Suisui and got up. He looked around and saw Fu Bowen and the others approaching before he spoke.
"I want to reiterate today that this is my girlfriend, the person I cherish most. If she agrees, she will also be my future wife and the mother of my children!"
The child's mother? Qin Suisui almost choked. She reached out and pinched his side, but the muscles were so firm that she couldn't budge them an inch no matter how hard she tried.
He listened as Huo Zhongyuan continued speaking.
"Furthermore, I would like to formally introduce you all to my girlfriend, Qin Suisui, the head of the Atlantic region for the Law Offices of R.T. Law Firm!"
He looked at the crowd, a cold smile playing on his lips:
"I warn you all, never provoke a lawyer with words, including myself. In front of Sui Sui, I can only bow down and submit!"
Her words left everyone speechless, and others also matched Qin Suisui with the rumored head of the Law Offices of R.T. Dunn.
Huating isn't a big city, and Huo Zhongyuan's friends are all in the same circle. If there's any news, everyone will hear about it, especially after the events at the end of last year, which made Qin Suisui a celebrity in their circle.
However, I've only heard about it and have never actually seen it in person.
Seeing her today, especially after her confrontation with Jiang Banchi, everyone realized that the rumors were indeed true.
At this moment, Jiang Banchi's face turned ashen, feeling an unprecedented sense of humiliation, as if he had been stripped naked and subjected to public torture.
Huo Zhongyuan's attitude, in particular, chilled her to the bone. She didn't want to stay there for a second longer, so she turned around, grabbed her handbag from the sofa, and rushed out.
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, just then Qi Bei coughed lightly, breaking the awkward silence.
"Everyone, stop staring blankly! Our Chief Steward Yu Jidong has prepared dinner and is waiting for you to come and have a meal!"
Fu Bowen also chimed in.
"Come on, let's go to the inner room together."
The others then walked towards the inner room of the private room, chatting and laughing.
Most people didn't understand what had just happened, but the fact that Huo Zhongyuan, who was usually calm and collected and whose emotions were not easily noticed, had suddenly become angry for the sake of a woman still surprised them.
Pei Qing was secretly delighted. Jiang Banchi had finally met his match; otherwise, he would always act superior to her.
She curled her lip: "Hmph, serves you right!"
What are you saying?
Wen Boyan raised his hand and tapped her forehead, which made Pei Qing glare at him angrily.
"Wen Boyan, how many times have I told you, don't knock me on the forehead! If you knock again..."
"What's wrong with banging it again?"
Wen Boyan raised his hand and tapped it lightly again: "If you keep tapping, are you getting dumber?"
Ah~
Pei Qing touched her forehead, her cheeks puffed out in anger as she glared at him.
Seeing that he still wanted to go forward, she glared at him hatefully, then turned around and hid behind Sun Xiuqi.
"Boyan, stop teasing her!"
Seeing this, Sun Xiuqi couldn't help but sigh. He couldn't understand why the usually gentle Boyan would become so wicked whenever he faced Pei Qing.
Wen Boyan: "Then tell me, what exactly happened just now?"
"It all started with Jiang Jiang~"
Sun Xiuqi recounted the whole story without any concealment, and analyzed right and wrong from an objective perspective.
"Jiang Jiang spoke recklessly regardless of the occasion, and Zhong Yuan's girlfriend stood her ground, leaving Jiang Jiang utterly humiliated!"
He sighed inwardly. As expected of a lawyer, Jiang Jiang had really embarrassed herself this time and would probably stay out of the public eye for a while.
