On the night of the banquet, the city’s neon lights intertwined into beautiful light and shadow in the night sky, and the bright lights made the entire banquet hall look luxurious and noble.
Bai Qinghan, dressed in a white suit, walked into the banquet hall with the imposing manner of a dragon.
He looked at the crowd calmly, his eyes deep, hiding indifference and sharpness.
Everyone felt the hidden sense of oppression, as if his aura made people afraid to approach him easily.
He walked towards the center of the hall, his aura as imposing as a king arriving at court, and the noise around him gradually faded.
The guests chatted in twos and threes, and the atmosphere was luxurious and elegant as they drank and chatted.
At this moment, a middle-aged man in a black suit, with a handsome face and outstanding temperament walked over.
His eyes were sharp, and his brows revealed a sense of confidence and disdain. He stopped in front of Bai Qinghan, smiled faintly, and said, "Master Bai, hello."
Bai Qinghan raised his eyes, and his gaze met the other person's. He responded calmly, "Your Excellency is...?"
"I'm Chen Xiao." Chen Xiao smiled gently, his tone calm but with a hint of oppression. "You should know me, Patriarch Bai."
Bai Qinghan frowned slightly and glanced at Chen Xiao with a cold gaze.
"Chen Xiao?" Bai Qinghan repeated calmly, "This is the first time I've heard of this name."
The corners of Chen Xiao's mouth rose slightly, as if he had already expected Bai Qinghan to respond in this way.
He leaned in slightly, his voice low and magnetic: "We are not strangers, Master Bai. Perhaps you don't know much about me, but I have heard of you a long time ago."
Chen Xiao's eyes swept over Bai Qinghan, with a hint of provocation, "I heard that the head of the Bai family is not an alpha, but he can be so strong. This is really impressive."
As soon as these words were spoken, the guests who were originally chatting around looked sideways, as if they had become very interested in this sentence.
When Bai Qinghan heard this, his eyes darkened and the smile on his face widened. He slowly spoke in a low voice: "Mr. Shen, it seems that you are quite concerned about my affairs."
Chen Xiao didn't shy away from the question, still maintaining that confident smile. "Of course. After all, how could a figure like Patriarch Bai not attract my attention? However, I am indeed curious, as an omega, how did you come to power in the Bai family?"
Bai Qinghan's expression was calm, and he didn't even try to hide his contempt.
He bent his fingers slightly, tapped the wine glass in his hand lightly, and said coldly: “Mr. Shen’s words make me confused. Are you asking me or provoking me?”
Chen Xiao didn't expect that Bai Qinghan would speak so bluntly. He then resumed smiling, but the contempt in his eyes was not concealed at all.
He slowly raised the wine glass in his hand, swirling the red wine in it slightly, and said calmly with a hint of mockery: "Master Bai, you are worrying too much. I am just curious."
Bai Qinghan lowered his eyes and glanced at Chen Xiao, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, but he did not respond. Instead, he raised his hand and took a sip of wine, his movements elegant yet distant.
Seeing that Bai Qinghan didn't respond, Chen Xiao felt a little proud. He continued, "Master Bai, I have to admit that you do have some courage, but an omega is always an omega. No matter how strong you are, you still need to rely on an alpha, right?"
A faint whisper of discussion could be heard in the originally quiet banquet hall. Some people had already left this smoke-filled place early in order to avoid getting into trouble.
Although Bai Qinghan had just taken office, the status and reputation of the Bai family were such that no one would dare to bring bad luck upon themselves.
However, Bai Qinghan did not show any anger. He put down the wine glass and wiped his fingertips slowly, as if the words just now were just meaningless whispers passing by in the wind.
"Mr. Shen, I've never been interested in things like who to depend on. But you seem to care more about my identity than your own situation?"
Upon hearing this, a gloom flashed across Chen Xiao's eyes, but he quickly regained his relaxed demeanor and spoke in a more composed tone, "Master Bai, don't be nervous. I just mentioned it casually, but I didn't expect you to be so sensitive."
Bai Qinghan raised his eyebrows slightly and said "Oh" lightly with a hint of nonchalantness, "I remember now. I heard that the old lady of the Shen family is also an omega, right? Is Mr. Shen dissatisfied with the old lady?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Xiao's expression froze slightly, but then he regained his smile. He picked up the wine glass and took a sip, trying to hide the fleeting embarrassment.
Shocked by his aura, she took a half step back, but still maintained her composure and continued, "Master Bai, I dare not accept your words, but how can family affairs be decided by one person alone? Doing so will inevitably make people think that you are offending tradition."
"Tradition?" Bai Qinghan smiled coldly, raised his hand and placed the wine glass on the tray beside him, his eyes as sharp as an eagle.
"If Mr. Shen respects tradition so much, why doesn't he follow the rules of his own family first? As the head of the Shen family, he's meddling in other people's family affairs. What kind of tradition is that?"
Bai Qinghan caught a glimpse of a familiar figure with his sharp eyes.
He was too lazy to continue entangled with Shen Xiao.
Bai Qinghan lazily withdrew his gaze, turned around and walked towards the other side of the banquet hall, his steps steady and calm.
Chen Xiao was completely left alone, a gloomy look flashed across his face, but due to the occasion, he didn't chase after him.
The lights in the banquet hall were bright, and every corner was meticulously decorated. Waiters were walking around with bottles of champagne, and the guests were hiding their rivalry with smiles and greetings.
Bai Qinghan casually picked up a glass of champagne and pretended to casually approach the familiar figure.
