Under the cover of night, Linjiang City resembled a glamorous and sexy woman, displaying her dazzling charm as always. Grandpa Yao's birthday banquet caused a sensation within a small circle, although this small circle represented eighty percent of Linjiang City's wealth.
Countless luxury cars lined up in the Yao family's parking lot, and countless elites, usually only seen on television and magazine covers, stepped out of their cars and disappeared into the crowd. Stunningly beautiful women, dressed in splendid attire, linked arms with their male companions, determined to stand out at today's banquet and outshine everyone else.
Xiu Qiyu and Ye Xiruo also received invitations. Unlike others who were looking forward to them, these two showed no interest whatsoever. They ate their dinner slowly before getting into their car and heading towards the Yao family's old residence. Besides the two of them, the person they had met that morning and tentatively confirmed as the future CEO of the Fengshen Group—Mr. Mo Tan—was also there. Xiu Qiyu wanted to see his performance.
They arrived at 4:45 AM, and the birthday banquet was scheduled to begin at 8:00 AM. The banquet hall was already quite full. Under the bright lights, successful political and business figures clinked glasses and smiled broadly. Meanwhile, the sexy and alluring young women carefully dealt with the men who tried to flirt with them.
There were still some important guests who hadn't arrived, and the arrival of Ye Xiruo and Xiu Qiyu caused a huge sensation.
Just two weeks ago, nobody in their circle knew who these two people were or what their background was. But now, they've reached a level that many people have to look up to. It's truly a twist of fate.
Feng Yi was once a prominent figure in Linjiang City, but unfortunately, he is dead and quickly forgotten by everyone. Xiu Qiyu rarely appears in public, and the few times she does, she is always fleeting, never giving reporters time for an interview. Therefore, most of the people present had heard of Xiu Qiyu's name, but this was the first time they had seen her in person.
Rumor has it that Xiu Qiyu has a breathtaking face, and that he possesses an extraordinary demeanor, is mysterious and elegant, and shines like an emperor.
Time seemed to freeze. Everyone stared blankly at the person walking slowly towards them, arm in arm with Ye Xiruo. Their expressions were a mixture of shock, astonishment, and disbelief. Just as the rumors said, a single glance was enough to make one forget the mundane world.
Her appearance, figure, and demeanor were all perfect. Xiu Qiyu's appearance overshadowed many meticulously dressed women; how could someone be so outstanding?
Ye Xiruo wore a light purple gauze dress with a white shawl and an emerald necklace. Her delicate and beautiful face was free of makeup, and her dark, bright eyes held a hint of indifference and aloofness. She exuded a unique charm that made people want to get close to her. The ring on her hand, which was the same style as Xiu Qiyu's, further aroused many people's interest.
Many women heard their hearts shatter. Why had they only just realized they might be in love with someone, and now they were heartbroken? As for those who were captivated by Ye Xiruo, they all sighed silently. What could they possibly have to compete with Xiu Qiyu? They weren't as handsome, they weren't as rich, and most importantly, they hadn't even met the right time—the two of them were already together.
These were mostly well-intentioned glances, but many of the hidden stares from the shadows were filled with filthy, obscene desires, yet the men thought they were well hidden and hadn't been discovered by the two men. These two were truly exceptional; in all my years, I'd never seen such an outstanding man and woman. It was just that, given their status, it seemed difficult to make a move. If only I could have the chance to kiss them, how wonderful that would be!
How could these gazes escape the senses of Xiu Qiyu and Ye Xiruo? They had already considered the possibility of such a problem, and now, as expected, Xiu Qiyu quickly analyzed the identities of those people and had already calculated their deaths in his mind.
Anyone who dares to give Xiao Yezi that disgusting, blatant look should just die. Ye Xiruo couldn't stand it anymore. It was one thing for those infatuated girls to drool over Brother Xiu Qi, but what was this? There were also some fat, bloated old men leering at Brother Xiu Qi. It was truly disgusting.
The two originally only intended to go through the motions, handle things, and leave Mo Tan behind while they left early. Now, both of them are seething with anger, determined to kill those disgusting bastards.
After a moment of stunned silence and amazement, people quickly came toward Xiu Qiyu. Ye Xiruo pouted, thinking they really thought she was unaware of their little schemes.
Today, Hua Yue wore a long, wine-red dress, her long, wavy wine-red hair complementing her bright red lips, making her resemble a bewitching and seductive datura flower. The moment she saw Xiu Qiyu, Hua Yue's smile widened, but when she saw Ye Xiruo and Xiu Qiyu's hands clasped tightly together, her smile froze. It turned out Ye Xiruo was right; she and Xiu Qiyu were indeed already engaged.
Hua Yue swirled the red wine in her hand and sipped it slowly.
Ye Xiruo walked towards the corner with great experience. She believed that Brother Xiu Qi could handle those things. As she walked, she thought about how to make those people die appropriately.
Ye Xiruo's steps were slow, so many people noticed her movements and wanted to come over and have a good chat with her.
Ye Xiruo had only taken a few steps when a woman wearing a sky-blue sundress and high heels was about to fall on her. The consequence was quite simple: Ye Xiruo's clothes, or rather her makeup, would be stained with the red wine in the woman's hand, and she would also make a fool of herself.
Heh, such a simple little trick, and she actually managed to outsmart her. Almost no one saw Ye Xiruo's movements clearly. She actually appeared behind the woman, supporting her arms with both hands. It seemed that this woman was able to avoid falling. But the next second, to everyone's surprise, Ye Xiruo let go, then calmly took out a small handkerchief from her bag to wipe her hands, and said casually, "Sorry, my hand slipped." This expression, this tone, truly showed no remorse whatsoever.
Ye Xiruo continued walking forward, when a woman's angry scream came from behind her: "Ye Xiruo, you've gone too far!"
Ye Xiruo's steps did not stop; he was just a clown, not worth her time or effort.
Ye Xiruo's move sent a chill down the spines of the women who wanted to secretly deal with her, as if Ye Xiruo was not as innocent as they had imagined.
