Since they didn't need to go to the bank, Xu Xiao stayed with Qin Sheng... no, it was Xu Xiao and Qin Sheng who stayed with Gu Yueming. The three of them watched TV at home for half the afternoon until almost two o'clock, when Gu Yueming suddenly turned off the TV.
Qin Sheng looked at Gu Yueming, who got up and pushed her upstairs, and asked, confused, "What are you doing?"
Gu Yueming said matter-of-factly, "Hairdressing up! This is my darling's first time appearing in public as the daughter of the Qin family, so she has to shine and outshine everyone else!"
Qin Sheng: "..."
Okay, as long as she's happy.
Wearing a bling-bling little dress, pink jewelry, a temporary perm, and a few braids, Qin Sheng looked at herself in the mirror, expressionless.
Gu Yueming and Xu Xiao clutched their hearts in disbelief: "Wow, how can there be such a beautiful girl in this world!"
Qin Sheng's expression became even more blank.
She resisted the urge to rip off her hair clip, necklace, and dress, and nodded to the two of them: "Let's go."
After saying that, he strode outside.
As the girl walked away, the two men couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
She was just a moment ago an incredibly cute and ethereal little princess, so why does she suddenly transform into a cold and aloof boss?
An unsolvable mystery.
*
Qin Zheng's birthday was just a minor celebration; Qin Zheng and Gu Yueming originally intended to simply have a family meal together and that would be it.
However, partly because the dinner yesterday ended badly, the two did not want to spend time alone with Qin Hao's family for the time being. On the other hand, they also wanted to use this banquet to reveal Qin Sheng's identity. In the end, the two decided to expand the scale of the banquet.
The small banquet turned into a large one, and the guests expanded from close relatives to Qin Zheng's friends, relatives, and some business partners.
Nearly two hundred people.
The Qin family manor has a special venue for entertaining guests. At this moment, the banquet hall is full of guests in twos and threes, and the most eye-catching people are the two men in the corner.
Xie Fang glanced at the well-dressed man in a suit and rolled his eyes inwardly: "Didn't you say you had something to do and had to go out for a while? Why didn't you leave?"
Fu Jingheng's gaze occasionally swept over the central staircase, and he casually remarked, "The flight is delayed."
Xie Fang: ...This is the first time I've ever heard of a private plane being delayed.
It's a casualness that's so lax that they don't even bother to be perfunctory.
Xie Fang paused, looking at the corner of his mouth for what seemed like the umpteenth time, and finally couldn't help but ask, "What kind of magic medicine did you use? How did your wound heal so quickly?"
Fu Jingheng casually replied, "Just circulate your spiritual energy."
Xie Fang: ...Does he really think he's the male protagonist of a fantasy novel?
Forget it, there's nothing more to talk about.
Maybe I should go ask someone where his little sister Shengsheng is.
Xie Fang was thinking and reached out to find a waiter, but before he could call out, he heard a not-so-loud murmur coming from not far away.
"Hey, have you heard? There's big news at today's banquet."
"You mean the news that Second Master Qin has recently reunited with his daughter? It's already all over the place, do we really need to hear about it?"
"Tsk, this news has spread far and wide, but do you know who this Miss Qin is?"
No one had ever heard of this before, and a group of people looked at the girl speaking with curiosity.
The girl smiled mysteriously and lowered her voice, saying, "Do you know who Ancheng's social butterfly is?"
The women were stunned for a moment, then realized what she meant, their faces filled with shock and disbelief: "You mean Qin Sheng? The adopted daughter of the Pei family?!"
The girl nodded, shaking her head and sighing, "It's her! Who would have thought? Overnight, she went from being the Pei family's adopted daughter to the Qin family's heiress. Qin Sheng, she's truly risen from humble beginnings to become a phoenix!"
Everyone agreed.
but……
"So what if you become a phoenix? You're still a phoenix that has fallen into the grass. You're only slightly better than a chicken."
"Thank goodness the Qin family is so magnanimous. If it were our family, we wouldn't be able to afford to lose face like this!"
Who can argue with that?
Whether she was a fake adopted daughter or a real heiress, it's a fact that Qin Sheng was taken by Qin Xuehua to so many parties and banquets, and her stain of being a "socialite" can never be washed away.
The Qin family's daughter, ha, to put it bluntly, is nothing but a joke.
Other attempts to climb the social ladder to wealth and status backfired, ultimately dragging the Qin family down with them!
A corner of the venue.
Xie Fang slowly lowered his raised hand and instead pulled at his suit jacket.
Fu Jingheng glanced at him: "What are you doing?"
Xie Fang paused, turned to look at him, and his usually carefree face was unusually gloomy: "What do you think I'm going to do? Didn't you hear what nonsense they were spouting?!"
Fu Jingheng glanced at the suit jacket he had already torn halfway down and reached out to pull it back to him: "It's not appropriate for Sheng Sheng's family's dinner party."
Xie Fang's expression stiffened slightly. He didn't insist any further, but he still couldn't swallow his anger: "So, we're just going to let it go like this?!"
Fu Jingheng curved his lips into a smile, his naturally elegant face displaying a casual grin: "No, that's impossible."
His little girl is not someone to be bullied, and he shouldn't even be allowed to speak ill of her.
Xie Fang's eyes lit up: "You mean..."
While taking out his phone to send a message to Qin Sheng, Fu Jingheng said without looking up, "The three in red, yellow, and blue, investigate them. If they have no scandals, fine, but if they do..."
Fu Jingheng lifted his eyelids, his gaze deep and unfathomable.
Xie Fang, excited like a fool, immediately chimed in, "Then let's release all their dirty secrets and ruin their reputations!"
Wow! He's finally waited for the day when Master Fu would become a domineering CEO in a fit of rage for the sake of his beloved!
Romance novels are absolutely true!
Fu Jingheng glanced at him, amused: "It's just a few words, it's not that serious."
Xie Fang's smile vanished: "Then you..."
"Judging from their age, they should be married, or at least have a fiancé or something. Just let their men or fiancés see them, or perhaps the head of the family and his parents could join them?"
Fu Jingheng said calmly, paused, and then took out his phone to send a recording to Xie Fang: "By the way, forward this to your second uncle. As his nephew, you should remind your uncle who you can cooperate with and who you can't."
Xie Fang: "..."
While he was still rolling up his sleeves, ready to fight, this guy had already recorded the conversation.
And you still say to him, "It's just a few words, it's not that serious"?
His actions were even more ruthless than directly exposing their secrets!
Sure enough, when it comes to dogs, he can never beat Fu Xiaosan!
Fu Jingheng lowered his head and took a sip of the juice that had been casually served to him. His lowered eyelids concealed the coldness in his dark eyes. Suddenly, as if sensing something, he looked up.
As his gaze focused, Fu Jingheng felt everything around him rushing away; in his eyes and in his heart, only the girl walking slowly down Qin Zheng's arm remained.
“Sheng Sheng…”
He murmured, his thin lips slowly curving upwards.
The huge banquet hall was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
