Chapter 294
The atmosphere was lively, with men and women dressed in elegant clothes, gathered in twos and threes.
They exchanged pleasantries warmly, chatting about work, gossip, entertainment, and fashion.
It looks quite lively.
The waiters moved nimbly through the crowd, serving each guest with a smile.
The upscale hotel is magnificent and looks like a palace at first glance.
In this seemingly happy setting, Pei Xingren sat in the corner of the sofa, ignoring his friends chatting excitedly, and drank alone in silence.
More than half a year has passed since the incident involving the sun wheel white.
Pei Xingren has been unable to find any information about Xue Rongrong.
He missed her terribly, to the point of madness.
Sometimes he even wondered if such a beauty had ever really existed? Perhaps it was all just his imagination.
That's why he could never find the other person?
Apart from that live broadcast, there has been no further trace of the beauty's existence.
It must be fake, right? How can someone be so beautiful?
It must be that Xue Rongrong was afraid of being gang-raped and was taking revenge on him. She found a master to cast a spell, causing him to hallucinate.
That must be it!
Pei Xingren tilted his head back and downed another glass of wine. Despite having drunk a lot, his mind was becoming increasingly clear.
The pain of lucidity.
"Look! Isn't that He Canglin from the He family?"
"The He family from Beijing? Why would they come to Old Master Wang's birthday party?"
"Old Master Wang is a man of considerable status, so it's strange that he came."
"Of course it's strange! The Wang family is only powerful in Shanghai. In Beijing, they're nothing special. The fact that they could get He Canglin to come here means something is very complicated."
"Isn't He Canglin Zhan Lou's cousin? He probably just happened to be at the Zhan family's house and came along."
"That's quite possible!"
"The Wang family must be thrilled now, right? If they could get on the He family's good side, they'd be set for life!"
"Of course I'll be happy!"
Pei Xingren's friends all looked at the center of the hall.
Just moments ago, Old Master Wang was sitting calmly in his seat, waiting for everyone to come and visit. Suddenly, he stood up excitedly.
Even though he was trembling, he insisted on being helped to greet He Canglin.
Grandpa Wang held He Canglin's hand and said something; you could see that the smile on his face was brighter than ever before.
He Canglin, on the other hand, stood tall and straight like a pine tree, with a calm expression.
I understand, I understand!
Everyone thought there was nothing strange about it.
Moreover, He Canglin's temperament was clearly different from everyone else around him; he was upright, serious, and composed.
The once luxurious hall had turned a lot red because of the other party.
Pei Xingren also looked up at He Canglin.
Perhaps this is the most outstanding person he has ever met?
Even his brother is far inferior.
This is the kind of person who is considered an outstanding individual.
But what does that have to do with him?
Pei Xingren gave a self-deprecating laugh and continued drinking.
On He Canglin's side, after Old Master Wang was reluctant to leave, the others gradually approached him.
He Canglin's attitude remained calm yet polite throughout.
It neither makes people feel that you are arrogant and condescending, nor does it make people look down on you or treat you casually.
Those who had spoken with He Canglin were all impressed by the profound heritage of the prominent families in Beijing, and only such families could raise such an outstanding successor.
Once no more elders stepped forward beside He Canglin, the young people below began to eagerly try their luck.
The bold act, the timid hesitate.
During this time, several young ladies with lingering affections approached He Canglin to strike up a conversation.
As everyone knows, He Canglin is still single. In the eyes of everyone, he is the perfect partner, and everyone wants to climb to this peak.
Unfortunately, almost everyone was rejected and left disappointed.
Perhaps He Canglin doesn't like women, but prefers men?
It's not impossible. Nowadays, people are more open-minded, and there are quite a few people who like the same sex.
Soon, several more men stepped forward to try, but they all failed.
It seems this heir of the He family is not easy to conquer.
Everyone felt regret, but since everyone had failed, they felt somewhat at peace.
People continued to socialize, but many would subtly glance at He Canglin.
Shang Lianfeng was also at the birthday party. He certainly wanted to get to know He Canglin, but he didn't rush forward.
As intelligent as he is, he certainly wouldn't allow himself to appear before others without any value.
He definitely needs to find a reason to naturally get the other party to befriend him.
For example, he knew that the military needed holographic virtual technology to support daily training, and he happened to have the world's most advanced technology.
It was clear that He Canglin had been alone for quite some time.
Shang Lianfeng politely declined the next person who approached him for a chat, put down his wine glass, and prepared to walk toward He Canglin.
He had just taken a step when He Canglin's eyes suddenly lit up and he walked towards the banquet hall door.
He Canglin walked hurriedly, his face clearly showing joy.
This was the first time He Canglin had experienced such a strong emotional fluctuation since entering the banquet hall.
Clearly, he was very concerned about who or what was at the door.
Everyone looked on curiously, and before they knew it, the noise in the entire hall had subsided.
Everyone wanted to know what, or who, had made He Canglin so excited.
Even Pei Xingren, who was immersed in his own world, unconsciously followed the gaze.
Amidst the attention of everyone, He Canglin greeted someone at the entrance.
Because of He Canglin's tall stature, he completely obscured the person, and people could only see the flowing skirt flash by.
She also had skin so white it was almost dazzling, and long, beautiful, jet-black hair.
It's easy to imagine that she must be an extremely beautiful woman.
The other person immediately stretched out her slender arm and wrapped it around He Canglin's neck.
He Canglin seemed worried that the other person might be uncomfortable, so he bent down to make it easier for them.
This scene left many people wide-eyed.
His always upright posture, as I remembered it, was now slightly bowed for that one particular person.
What kind of pampering was that? What kind of tenderness?
People could no longer see He Canglin's face, but could only see his back and his movements.
One can only imagine the heart-wrenching, silent affection hidden in those resolute eyes.
So He Canglin already has a lover?
And who was lucky enough to climb to this peak?
At this moment, people's curiosity reached its peak.
Just as everyone was waiting to see the mysterious woman appear and walk into the hall.
He Canglin took the other person's hand and left without even entering the door, let alone seeing the other person.
A disappointed sigh rang out, and someone even let out an exaggerated wail.
No one noticed that Pei Xingren suddenly stiffened, and he didn't react when the wine was spilled on him.
Finally, he suddenly stood up, and before he could even put his wine glass down properly, the glass crashed to the ground with a loud clatter.
"Second Young Master? Is he drunk?" a friend asked.
But Pei Xingren didn't have time to pay attention and hurriedly ran towards the door.
His steps were even a little unsteady, which attracted the attention of many people.
His behavior was extremely rude in this situation, but he didn't care.
In that fleeting glimpse, he saw that the woman He Cangliin was taking away was Xue Rongrong.
Absolutely! He swears he wasn't seeing things!
