Cheng Ruolin's family was also a wealthy family many years ago, and her ancestors held high positions. Later, her father was caught in corruption and went abroad to make money after being released from prison. He made a lot of money but died without enjoying it much.
Cheng Ruolin went abroad with her father when she was young and studied medicine at an Ivy League school ranked among the top ten in the world. Not long after her father passed away, she returned to China and became the director of a public welfare hospital. She is beautiful and kind-hearted, and has a very good reputation in the upper class circles.
The Cheng and He families used to be neighbors. Cheng Ruolin had been favored by Zhen Yue since she was a child. After returning to China, she volunteered to become her personal doctor.
If the Xue family did not have a closer relationship with her current husband's family, Zhen Yue's preferred daughter-in-law would probably be Cheng Ruolin.
Fortunately, because of the Xue family, no matter how outstanding Cheng Ruolin is, she cannot pose a threat to him. Facing Cheng Ruolin, Xue Ziqi can be said to have no grudges and only wants to win her over.
"Sister Ruolin," Xue Ziqi said with a warm smile after handing the wine to her, "This wine doesn't have much of an aftertaste. I've tasted it."
"Really? Then I'll try."
Cheng Ruolin raised the corners of her lips slightly, gracefully took the wine glass handed to her, and thanked her.
"Sister Ruolin, you are too polite."
"Sister Ruolin has been exposed to Western culture since childhood and has a good upbringing. You should learn more from her."
"I understand, Auntie. I will definitely learn a lot from Sister Ruolin in the future."
The three of them clinked their glasses gently and chatted intimately.
It's almost seven o'clock and the cocktail party is about to begin.
He Tingyan arrived almost on time.
He was dressed in a dark blue suit, with an upright posture, handsome features, and a graceful demeanor. As soon as he appeared, he attracted a lot of people's attention, especially those of the opposite sex.
The originally noisy hall suddenly became quiet.
Almost everyone looked at him, their eyes filled with admiration, worship... and fanatical love.
"Boss He is here!"
"Move aside, move aside! You're blocking my view!"
"It's been a while since I last saw you, you're still so handsome, you're worthy of being my idol!"
"Who is that woman next to Mr. He? Could she be his girlfriend?"
At this time, someone finally noticed Wen Xi who was trying hard to reduce his presence beside He Tingyan.
"How is that possible? Mr. He always goes it alone. When have you ever seen him bring a female companion to a party?"
"That's right. Most likely, she's just trying to get close to him because she doesn't know how to live or die. I've seen a lot of women like this before. None of them have a good ending. Being kicked out is the least of their worries."
Everyone whispered.
Many socialites and rich girls looked at Wen Xi with contempt and disdain, as if they were waiting for a good show.
He Tingyan ignored the gazes coming from all directions, stopped, turned around, and looked calmly at the girl behind him who had somehow distanced herself from him.
"Why are you so far away? I'm not going to eat you."
“…”
Wen Xi glared at the other person.
You won't eat me, but these women don't know that.
If her eyes could turn into sharp arrows, she would probably have countless holes in her body by now.
Look at the looks in those women's eyes, as if she was going to desecrate and defile their male god, as if they wanted to pounce on her and tear her apart.
He Tingyan was very dissatisfied with her dithering and reached out to pull her over.
Wen Xi didn't expect him to attack, and was caught off guard and fell directly into his arms.
Suddenly there were exclamations from all around.
"Boss He, are you going to personally drive them away?"
