"And what about you, a popular star who isn't focused on filming, what are you doing at an event like this?"
Qin Xuan ignored the gossip around him, but his fists clenched unconsciously.
Seeing that Qin Xuan's tone towards Pei Jinghe was anything but polite, the fans immediately began to defend their idol.
"What right do you, a man from a humble background, have to talk about our Pei Pei like that? He's way better than you!"
"That's right, what makes you think you can compare to Pei Pei? He would never do something like that!"
In an instant, Qin Xuan was not only surrounded, but also subjected to a barrage of insults.
Seeing his predicament, Pei Jinghe couldn't help but smile. When he looked up and saw the Liao family's car parked outside, his smile deepened.
Ye Zhizhou helped Lin Rupei out of the car. When they saw a large number of fans gathered outside, they knew that Pei Jinghe had arrived.
Ye Zhizhou was surprised to see Qin Xuan among the crowd of fans.
"You phoenix man, get out of here! This is not a place for you!"
"Exactly! Let's go! Just because Pei Pei has a good temper doesn't mean we do!"
Their words became increasingly harsh. Qin Xuan pursed his thin lips. He didn't care about their gossip at all, but he was worried that Ye Zhizhou would misunderstand.
"He's not a 'phoenix man' (a man from a poor background who achieves success), he's the one who exposed the Yao Group's smuggling activities. There will be news about him in a few days, you can wait and see!"
Hearing the fans' sharp words, Ye Zhizhou couldn't help but explain for Qin Xuan.
The term "phoenix man" is really not suitable for Qin Xuan.
His assets are in no way inferior to those of the Yao Group, but he simply doesn't want to flaunt them.
The hosts of the banquet had all spoken, and although the fans still didn't particularly like Qin Xuan, they didn't say anything more.
Lin Rupei instructed the security guards to ask the fans who were crowding at the entrance to leave, fearing that it would affect the progress of the banquet.
"Zhouzhou, my mom is here. She's taking care of my dad, so I came to find you."
Qin Xuan only had eyes for Ye Zhizhou.
Ye Zhizhou stepped forward a few steps, "Then let's go in together. My godmother and godfather have specially prepared a banquet for me today."
Qin Xuan nodded and followed Ye Zhizhou inside. The security guards at the door didn't stop them anymore.
Pei Jinghe noticed Ye Zhizhou's attitude towards Qin Xuan, and his gaze lingered on Qin Xuan's back for a few moments before he looked away.
"Miss Ye, what have you thought about what happened yesterday?"
As everyone entered the hotel lobby, Pei Jinghe walked straight towards Ye Zhizhou, his eyes burning with passion.
As a man himself, Qin Xuan understood what Pei Jinghe was thinking: he had fallen for Ye Zhizhou. He slowly stepped forward, deciding to join in the fun.
"Mr. Pei, I'm sorry, but I think we're not a good match."
The night before last, Ye Zhizhou received Pei Jinghe's last message, which was simply unbearable to read.
She still remembers that sentence: I believe in love at first sight, what about you?
Pei Jinghe is indeed very handsome, but he is too enthusiastic, which she can't handle, let alone like.
"It's okay. Maybe you don't know me well enough yet. Maybe you'll be moved by me after we spend more time together?"
Pei Jinghe was not discouraged at all; instead, he raised his glass to offer a toast.
Qin Xuan picked up his wine glass and stepped forward, his lips twitching slightly. "Zhouzhou can't drink alcohol, so I'll drink it for her."
Pei Jinghe raised an eyebrow, met Qin Xuan's gaze, and it took him a while to come back to his senses.
"In that case, we won't drink it."
After he finished speaking, he turned and left to talk to the other guests.
Ye Zhizhou breathed a sigh of relief. What kind of chaotic scene was this?
