Li Chengfeng's sudden exclamation startled Bai Shao, who was standing next to him.
Everyone else in the hall turned to look at the two of them.
"That voice sounds familiar." Wang Ming looked up ahead. "That's Li Chengfeng."
Li Chengfeng was Wang Ming's best friend among his cronies three years ago.
The two became sworn brothers, even to the point of wanting to become sworn brothers.
On the day of the accident, Wang Ming was instigated by Li Chengfeng to race with another person on a curve he was not familiar with.
As a result, the sports car suddenly went out of control, and Wang Ming crashed into a stone pillar, becoming a vegetable.
After that, Li Chengfeng disappeared, and Wang Ming never expected to meet him here.
"Strange, someone of his status shouldn't be here. Could it be because of the person next to him?"
"I feel like I've seen this person somewhere before."
"That's right, this person was also in the room when we killed Nightmare at Yingyue Manor last time."
"Tong Lu said his name was something like Bai, Bai Yanzhou, I think that's it."
"But why does this name sound so familiar? Bai Yanzhou, surname Bai, Yingyue Manor, hmm? He is the young master of the Bai family, one of the four great families in Yanjing."
The four major families of Yanjing are the Bai family, the Yan family, the Lin family, and the Qin family.
These four families are all well-known prominent families in Yanjing City, with businesses spanning various industries.
Among them, the Bai family and the Yan family have the largest businesses, with annual revenue exceeding one trillion yuan, followed by the Lin family, and the Qin family ranks last.
While Wang Ming's company can also gain a foothold in Beijing, it cannot compare with these four companies.
"Bai Yanzhou of the Bai family, no wonder you were able to get in here. Li Chengfeng, it seems you've been doing quite well these past few years."
"But why would a large family like the Bai family participate in such a small social gathering?"
"Damn it, what are you yelling about? You scared the hell out of me." Bai Yanzhou was startled by Li Chengfeng and slapped him on the back of the head.
"Young Master Bai, it's him, it's Wang Ming."
"He's actually recovered? How is that possible?"
"What are you babbling about? What Wang Ming? What Hao? Explain yourself clearly."
"Young Master Bai, have you forgotten? He is Wang Ming, Yan Qingcheng's fiancé."
"What? You're saying he's Yan Qingcheng's fiancé?"
“So it was him. No, three years ago I told you…” Bai Yanzhou also showed a surprised expression when he heard Li Chengfeng’s words. “Wasn’t he a vegetable? You must be mistaken.”
"Young Master Bai, that's right, it's him. I've known him for five years, I can't be mistaken."
"Young Master Bai, he, he's here."
Yes, Wang Ming has arrived.
Although Wang Ming understood that Li Chengfeng, like those friends who had been fawning over him all year, was only after his money.
But when Wang Ming saw Li Chengfeng, he couldn't help but walk over.
Not for any other reason than to ask if he had ever even considered Wang Ming a true friend.
"Li Chengfeng, it's been a long time."
"Wang, Wang Ming, you, you're all better now."
“Yes, I’m all better.” The three looked at each other, Wang Ming nodded to Bai Yanzhou, and was about to ask a question.
At this moment, seven or eight people entered the hall. As soon as they entered, one of them shouted Wang Ming's name.
"Wang Ming!"
The shout interrupted Wang Ming, and everyone in the hall turned to look at the person who had shouted.
"Yan Qingcheng, why is she here too?"
Yan Qingcheng is the apple of the eye of the Yan family, one of the four major families in Yanjing. She is the leader of the Yan family in this generation and a leading figure among the younger generation in Yanjing. At the same time, she is also Wang Ming's fiancée.
Five years ago, when Wang Ming first met Yan Qingcheng, he was attracted by her temperament and it could be said that he fell in love at first sight.
When Wang Ming learned that Yan Qingcheng was his fiancée, he was overjoyed. After that, Wang Ming would go to see Yan Qingcheng whenever he had the chance.
But Yan Qingcheng had no interest in Wang Ming whatsoever.
In Yan Qingcheng's words, she had no time to talk about feelings, and she did not accept the verbal marriage agreement made by their grandfathers.
The cold words deeply hurt Wang Ming. Later, Yan Qingcheng showed amazing business talent and became more and more outstanding, attracting more attention. Wang Ming also became famous because of this.
The disparity in family background and personal abilities made Wang Ming the target of gossip and ridicule, which caused him to become self-conscious.
Gradually, Wang Ming lost all interest in Yan Qingcheng, and their engagement became a mere formality.
For some reason, Yan Qingcheng did not deny her engagement to Wang Ming to the outside world.
However, Wang Ming didn't care anymore. He had completely let go of Yan Qingcheng. After saving Yan Qingcheng at Yingyue Manor last time, he left the manor without any further interaction.
Wang Ming was somewhat surprised to see Yan Qingcheng calling him with a slightly flushed face.
"Wang Ming, you really came." Yan Qingcheng walked quickly towards Wang Ming with a smile on her face. Accompanying Yan Qingcheng were a man and a woman.
The woman had a heroic air about her and a beautiful figure. In terms of both appearance and temperament, she was no less than Yan Qingcheng. However, Wang Ming did not recognize her.
However, Wang Ming, the man who came with Yan Qingcheng, knew her.
"Those who know how to make money are the merchants of Yan, the families of Yan."
Wang Ming touched his nose. The young man next to Yan Qingcheng was none other than Sheng Cai Youdao, the man who had been calling him Brother Wang in the Yuan Domain.
The three approached Wang Ming, each with a different expression.
Yan Qingcheng was somewhat excited, while the young woman beside her showed a wary expression. As for Yan Shang, he was looking at her sideways with an unfriendly expression.
"This kid is actually using his real face to play the game, that's quite rare. But, why does that expression look so irritating?"
Before Wang Ming could speak, Bai Yanzhou spoke first.
"Qingcheng, what brings you here?" Bai Yanzhou said as he walked up to Yan Qingcheng and reached out to grab her.
"Bai Yanzhou, you're here too. What do you want?" Upon seeing this, the young woman next to Yan Qingcheng slapped away Bai Yanzhou's outstretched arm and then pulled Yan Qingcheng behind her.
Bai Yanzhou wasn't angry when he saw that he had been stopped. He looked at the young woman's body next to Yan Qingcheng and swallowed.
"Zhao Feiyan, I didn't mean anything by it. I was just so surprised. I didn't expect Qingcheng to come here too."
"Hmph, you dare call me 'Qingcheng'? You beast in human clothing, get out of here." Zhao Feiyan knew about the despicable things Bai Yanzhou had done at Yingyue Manor, and she showed no politeness whatsoever.
More and more people were getting into the living room, and the young men and women around them gathered around when they saw the commotion.
Bai Yanzhou felt embarrassed upon hearing Zhao Feiyan's words. "Qingcheng is my fiancée. Why can't I call her Qingcheng?"
"You're talking nonsense. When did I become your fiancée?" Before Zhao Feiyan could speak, Yan Qingcheng said angrily, then looked at Wang Ming.
Seeing that Wang Ming's expression didn't change, Yan Qingcheng felt relieved, but then felt a little disappointed.
"Qingcheng, your father has already agreed to our marriage, but we are not engaged yet. Tell me, am I your fiancé?"
“That was my father’s promise, not mine.”
"Also, Bai Yanzhou, let me tell you, I only have one fiancé, and his name is Wang Ming." After saying this, Yan Qingcheng ran to Wang Ming's side and affectionately took his arm.
This move caught everyone present off guard, not just Wang Ming.
