Chapter 63: Little Heartless

"Second brother!" Wei Jiaqi called him, "You are dressed like this?"

He was still wearing the same shirt and vest, dark blue military pants, and black military boots. One button of his shirt was buttoned incorrectly, looking out of place and unruly.

Mrs. Wei said to Adjutant Shen, "Go to the car and get the clothes for the Second Young Master."

"Who am I bothering? There's no need." Wei Liangchen walked beside the governor without even looking at anyone.

Governor Wei was somewhat dissatisfied, but he did not want to reprimand him in public, so he just said, "Button up your shirt."

Wei Liangchen was too lazy to argue.

The banquet hall was huge, filled with beautifully dressed people and crystal palace lights everywhere, illuminating the jewelry of the female guests and dazzling them.

The Wei family members had outstanding looks and strong aura, and attracted a lot of attention as soon as they appeared.

Especially Wei Liangchen, even if he is not dressed properly, he is conspicuous wherever he goes and is the focus of everyone.

Also, because of the rumor that he had a relationship with Ling Xuewei, the girls all looked at him.

Ling Xuewei hasn't come out yet.

Jin Ye felt a little uncomfortable due to her period, so she put on heavy makeup to make her complexion look better. Her complexion was still deep red, and her skin was still porcelain white, but her eyes were like autumn water, full and moist, with a non-aggressive richness, like a beautiful doll.

When the men caught sight of her, they couldn't take their eyes off her.

Because it is so beautiful.

Jin Ye didn't notice the gazes from all directions. She only saw the two-meter-wide back in front of her moving over and blocking her sight.

Wei Liangchen said in a hoarse and stern voice, "Go to the bathroom and wipe off the powder on your face."

He doesn't like her wearing heavy make-up.

But Jin Ye pretended not to hear and said nothing.

"The governor and Liangchen are here."

It’s Madam Ling.

Mrs. Ling was adorned with jewels and gems, and had the calm and graceful demeanor of a noble lady. She came up to greet Mrs. Wei.

Mrs. Wei was no less elegant, wearing a dark red cheongsam made of the finest brocade satin. Around her neck was her favorite necklace, a gift from the military governor. It had ninety-nine purple diamonds, which made her look extremely elegant.

With her beautiful face and tall figure supported by silver high heels, she is much more charming than Mrs. Ling.

Madam Ling glanced at her necklace calmly and said with a smile, "Madam Wei is getting younger and younger."

"Mrs. Ling has taken good care of herself. Please teach me some of her secrets when you have time."

The two ladies were even more hypocritical and evasive than when they met in the jewelry store, and there was even a hint of a confrontation between them.

Jin Ye was a little surprised.

Is there something wrong between them?

There was a large round table at which the Wei family sat. The third table was occupied by the elders of the Ling family.

Chief Ling was also there, and everyone went up to say hello.

Seeing General Wei coming, they made way for him.

"General Ling, long time no see." Governor Wei shook hands with him.

This was the first time Jin Ye met Ling Xuewei's father. He was probably about the same age as Governor Wei. He wore a long gown and glasses. He looked very amiable, and had a gentle and bookish air, like a university professor.

He is much more low-key than this luxurious environment.

"Old Wei, how are you?" He shook hands with Governor Wei, speaking like an old friend.

"Thanks to you, it's not bad."

Chief Ling smiled at the family behind the governor, his eyes swept over the three girls and stopped at Wei Liangchen, "I haven't seen you for more than a year, you are more handsome and vigorous." He patted Wei Liangchen's arm, "Young people are formidable."

Wei Liangchen had no expression on his face. "Thank you."

As they were talking, Ling Xuewei arrived.

As the hostess of the banquet, Ling Xuewei was dressed in a very Chinese style tonight, with a moon-white cheongsam, jade earrings, and a popular pearl necklace with several circles under her collar.

She was tall, slender and fair, with her hair half tied up, wearing a small black mesh hat and white mesh gloves, looking noble, elegant and spotless.

She came over holding her brother Ling Yuanzhou's hand, "Uncle Wei, Aunt Wei."

He called Jiaqi, Jiaxin and Jinye again, and finally looked at Wei Liangchen and nodded, "Liangchen."

Wei Liangchen nodded without much expression.

He glanced sideways and saw the girl looking away.

Haha, I am in Cao’s camp but my heart is with Han.

What a heartless person.

"Xuewei, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Come, sit at the same table with us." Aunt Wei and her husband also came. She was very outgoing and, of course, she was already familiar with everyone. She warmly pulled Ling Xuewei to sit down.

That seat was right next to Wei Liangchen.

It was originally Mrs. Wei's seat, and Aunt Wei did it on purpose because she knew that Mrs. Wei was always very generous in front of outsiders and would definitely give up the seat and move to the next one.

In their big families, the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children is very clear. Thanks to Zhou Siwei, Jinye's position was above Jiaxin. In the end, Jiaxin had no seat left.

Jin Ye stood up and said, "I'll go to another table."

She really didn't want to be at this table anymore.

Wei Liangchen sat there lazily, his eyes as dark as ink. He seemed to glance at her, but also seemed not to look at her. Just as he was about to get up, a servant came over and asked Miss Xu to go to the fourth table, saying that it was Director Ling's idea.

Wei Liangchen's eyes flashed.

The fourth table was occupied by the Fu family, the second largest family in Suzhou after the Ling family. Jin Ye thought that Director Ling must be trying to protect the Wei family, and even took care of her, a burden.

Jin Ye said "thank you" and went to the fourth table.

The Fu family's ancestors were also officials, but this generation's descendants liked to do business and gradually turned to the business path. Their business expanded to Southeast Asia, and their family seemed particularly harmonious.

Jin Ye had attended several banquets with Mrs. Wei before and was acquainted with Mrs. Fu. Mrs. Fu seemed to have a good impression of her, which was why she let her sit next to her.

Jin Ye thanked him. The wife of the eldest son of the Fu family, who was sitting on the other side of her, was pregnant. "Is the baby coming soon?"

Madam Fu smiled and said, "The doctor said it will be in these few days."

Then she looked at her husband coquettishly and said, "I told you I couldn't come."

"You stay at home all day, it would be good for you to go out for a walk." Mr. Fu said, his eyes full of doting on his wife.

Jin Ye's envy comes from the bottom of his heart.

Mrs. Fu asked Jinye about his homework again, and they all had a very pleasant conversation.

The people at the next table were also chatting and laughing because Aunt Wei was there.

"Xuewei will not leave this time she comes back, right?" asked Aunt Wei.

Ling Xuewei smiled and said, "Well, I'll stay in the country for a while, and then I might go to North City."

"Beicheng, are you helping your father? That's not bad. Transportation is convenient nowadays, and Beicheng is not far away, right, Liangchen?"

Wei Liangchen didn't know what he was thinking, and was a little distracted. He asked with a smile: "I didn't hear clearly what Aunt said."
