Yuzhulou is a time-honored restaurant in Beijing with a history of over 150 years. It enjoys a great reputation in the capital for its unique flavors.
Xu Qingyun slowly walked into the old restaurant, her rain-soaked high heels lightly tapping on the carpet at the entrance before she raised her stunning face.
The shop assistants were dressed as waiters from period dramas, with white towels draped over their shoulders; at first glance, it looked like a scene from a period drama.
"Please come in, sir." The waiter was so amazed by Xu Qingyun's beautiful and outstanding appearance that he stammered.
Xu Qingyun nodded slightly, her elegant classical charm radiating from within, indescribably captivating.
As soon as she went upstairs, the shop assistants immediately gathered together.
"Holy crap, that girl was so beautiful! I've never seen such a gorgeous woman before. She looks like the most beautiful woman in ancient times who has traveled through time."
"Hey, it seems that the No. 1 private room upstairs was booked by Mr. Ren's assistant. I heard that Mr. Ren is going to meet Miss Qin here today. Could the girl from earlier be her?"
The group burst into laughter.
"You mean Qin Shuang? Hahaha, although the eldest daughter of the Qin family is the most beautiful woman, she has a wild personality. She's definitely not that person."
"Who is this? Our shop is a big name in Beijing, and we've served many socialites and heiresses, but we've never seen anyone so special."
Someone shrugged. "Who knows? I heard the Ye family from the south of the city sent someone. Maybe it's the Ye family's daughter."
The murmurs were faint, but Xu Qingyun still heard them. Her pink lips pursed slightly, and her calm heart was disturbed once again.
Ren Anjing wants to arrange a fiancée for Ji Hanchen, so what does Ji Hanchen think?
Did he agree?
What is the eldest daughter of the Qin family, who is known as the "most beautiful woman in Beijing's social circle," like?
Xu Qingyun wasn't a gossipy person, but at this moment she really wanted to know.
She slightly raised her eyes and looked at private room number two, which Xu Sen had reserved.
Xu Qingyun was about to go over when she heard the sound of high heels coming from the wooden stairs. She subconsciously turned around.
At that moment, Xu Qingyun was startled, because she clearly wanted to see if the person who came was actually the eldest daughter of the Qin family.
"What are you doing here?" Ren Anjing frowned, her tone quite displeased.
Xu Qingyun nodded slightly, simply out of politeness.
“Xu Qingyun, no matter why you came here, I have to tell you that you and Ji Hanchen are not suitable. I have already found him a new marriage partner. Even if you regret it, you will have no chance.”
Xu Qingyun said calmly, "Ms. Ren, you're overthinking it. I'm just here for dinner."
"Hmph, do you think I'd believe that? There are so many restaurants in Beijing, why did you have to come here, and today, at this time? Do you even believe yourself that you're not here for Ji Hanchen?"
Xu Qingyun did not offer any further explanation.
Just then, Xu Sen pushed open the door and said, "Xiaoyun, Dad has been waiting for you for a long time."
Upon seeing Ren Anjing, Xu Sen froze for a moment, his eyes instinctively avoiding hers, but he immediately realized something was wrong and forced a greeting, "President Ren."
Ren Anjing gave a cold "hmm," her expression clearly showing disdain and contempt, yet she had no choice but to respond.
It was this subtle change that caught Xu Qingyun's attention, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of suspicion.
Ren Anjing always has an aloof attitude. If someone is not qualified or someone Ren Anjing doesn't want to deal with, she will definitely ignore them.
What was so special about Xu Sen to Ren Anjing?
With these questions in mind, Xu Qingyun followed Xu Sen into the private room.
Just then, a girl with big, wavy hair came up the stairs.
Wearing a low-cut knitted dress, her features are bright and striking, yet not gaudy; she exudes elegance and sophistication.
In that instant, a phrase flashed through Xu Qingyun's mind—"worldly riches and splendor."
Is this Qin Shuang, the number one beauty in Beijing's social circle?
"I'm sorry, Mr. Ren, I went to bed a little late last night and was late. Please don't mind." Qin Shuang smiled, her lips glistening red.
Ren Anjing rarely smiled. "Miss Qin, please come in and have a seat."
"good."
Qin Shuang agreed and looked at Xu Qingyun, a look of amazement flashing in her eyes. Then she smiled at Xu Qingyun.
Is this the young lady from the Ninth Master of the Ji family?
She's so beautiful, she's really itching to get her hands on one.
Xu Qingyun nodded in response.
Two strangers, their first encounter.
**
Xu Sen warmly invited Xu Qingyun to sit down, and knowing that she loved tea, he immediately poured her some himself.
"Xiaoyun, Dad specially ordered West Lake Longjing tea, it's freshly brewed, have a taste."
Xu Qingyun didn't answer, but coldly asked, "What do you want to talk about with my mother?"
Xu Sen froze, awkwardly putting down his teacup. "Xiao Yun, do you know the Ye family of Nancheng?"
"Um."
Xu Sen's eyes flashed, "Then do you know that your mother is from the Ye family of Nancheng?"
Xu Qingyun neither agreed nor disagreed.
She didn't know that before.
Ten years ago, she was taken away by her uncle, and Ye An showed her a photo of Ye An and Ye Jianjia when they were children.
Ye An only referred to him as her uncle, but never mentioned the Ye family of Nancheng.
For the past ten years, Xu Qingyun has been abroad, focusing on her studies while being trained by her uncle.
Her uncle had been working abroad, so she never suspected that he was from the Ye family of Nancheng.
It wasn't until her cousin drove a car with a license plate from Nancheng and Shen Luo called him the eldest son of the Ye family that she realized he belonged to the most prestigious family in Nancheng.
This only made her more puzzled: why did her mother marry Xu Sen in the first place?
"Actually, your mother was the daughter of the Ye family. She left home due to some family reasons. Later, she fell in love with me at first sight, and we became engaged and had you."
