Chapter 266 - The Heroine's Dilemma
"Miss Ren San, is this the beautiful lady I saw at the door just now?" Shi Feiye asked.
"It's the one wearing the red cheongsam at the door." Qian Bowen said directly and clearly, "Second sister-in-law, you don't have to worry about it. Second brother doesn't like that woman, and that woman probably doesn't like second brother either. She's very good at playing games, and we're not on the same page."
"Are you good at playing?" Shi Feiye asked curiously.
"She's had six boyfriends during college, yet she can still act calm and elegant, like she's living a peaceful life. Not every woman can do that." Zou Lianxun curled her lips.
That was indeed quite powerful. Shi Feiye covered his heart and said, "I feel hurt."
"Hmm?" Zou Lianxun and Qian Bowen were baffled.
"I've been single for over 20 years. Others have had six boyfriends, but I only have one. And I got married first and fell in love later." Shi Feiye whispered into Qin Bulu's ear.
Qin Buzhu tapped her forehead and said, "You alone are worth ten."
Shi Feiye smiled and said, "As expected of a big boss, you don't even blush when you brag about yourself."
Qian Bowen and Zou Lianxun: "..." The unexpected dog food came.
"Young Master Qin, Young Master Zou, Young Master Qian, oh, I didn't expect you to come so early this time." A chubby young man ran over, smiling brightly and making people feel good at first sight.
Qian Bowen raised his eyebrows: "Isn't this Boss Wan? It's rare to see you here."
"Excuse me, excuse me, Young Master Qian is a distinguished person, and wherever he goes is a treasured place. How can someone like me set foot there? I had to work hard to get an invitation today." Boss Wan wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile.
Shi Feiye thought this person was quite interesting and tugged at the corner of Qin Buzhu's clothes. Qin Buzhu knew what she meant and introduced her in a low voice:
"This is the successor of the Wan family, which used to be in the real estate business. The Wan family isn't as powerful now, but some of their connections remain. So, Mr. Wan was able to get the invitation because he probably wanted to see if there was any business today."
The real estate business was failing, but there were other businesses, so Shi Feiye didn't ask any further questions.
"Boss Wan is really getting better at talking." Qian Bowen smiled on the surface, but the questions he asked were quite sharp:
"I heard that Boss Wan recently got in touch with a very useful connection. The other party is very wealthy and powerful, which made Boss Wan stand out in the bidding a while ago without any suspense. We are all very curious. Who is this person? Why haven't we heard much about him before?"
Qian Bowen was genuinely curious, as Sun Quanzhang hadn't even gotten to the bottom of the matter. Furthermore, the other party was incredibly wealthy, and with one move, they outbid everyone else. Everyone involved in the bidding was caught off guard, allowing Boss Wan to profit handsomely.
"Oh, that's the new head of our family, an old friend. He's been abroad and just returned recently. Of course, you haven't heard of him. If he's free today, he might come by and visit. We'll probably meet each other if we have the chance." Boss Wan didn't hide anything.
"If there's a chance, I'd really like to meet him." Qian Bowen said seriously.
A few people chatted and laughed, and soon others came over. After greeting each other, they would talk about business. Occasionally, someone would ask Shi Feiye a question, but Qin Buzhu would just brush it off. Shi Feiye just listened to their discussion.
After chatting for a while, Qin Buzhu handed the topic over to Qian Bowen and Zou Lianxun, and took Shi Feiye to the rest area. He watched her sit down, then handed her the bag she brought out and patiently instructed:
"The banquet will probably start in a while. Take a rest first. If you're bored, play with your phone."
"Yeah, don't worry. I've been to banquets a few times before, so I know what to do." Shi Feiye signaled Qin Bulu not to worry about her.
No one at the Ren family's banquet would be so blind as to cause trouble, so Qin Buzhu naturally left with peace of mind.
Meanwhile, Han Wenya came in alone. Although she had a smile on her face, she didn't know where to go. The parties she usually attended were different from this one. Even though she knew she was the heroine, the experience she had had for so long was enough to make her realize that the world had its own rules and would not truly revolve around her just because she was the heroine.
As a second- or third-tier actress, Han Wenya was able to get in here by luck, and she absolutely dared not make any mistakes or act recklessly. If she offended anyone, it would be no joke.
She looked left and right. One side was full of men, including Qin Buliu and the others, all talking about something, while the other side was full of women, also talking in groups of three or four. She naturally saw Shi Feiye, but her target today was not Qin Buliu, so she didn't want to go near Shi Feiye.
After hesitating for a moment, Han Wenya walked towards the side where there were more men. There were also women there. She walked over, picked up a glass of wine, sat down alone, and silently observed the surrounding situation.
Soon, two men surrounded Han Wenya. One looked very greasy, while the other appeared unruly, but in reality, his eyes were fixed on Han Wenya, making her feel very uncomfortable.
"Isn't this Miss Han? Yesterday I was saying that Miss Han's acting was good, and today I got to meet her in person. This is all fate, Miss Han, don't you think?" The greasy man raised his glass and clinked it with Han Wenya's.
"I just watched Miss Han's play this morning. Her acting is really good. Of course, she's also beautiful. It's rare that I ran into Miss Han tonight. It seems that God knows what I'm thinking and sent Miss Han to me. I will definitely give me a chance to treat Miss Han to dinner later."
The unruly man also clinked glasses with Han Wenya, and then laughed in a way that made Han Wenya very uncomfortable: "Miss Han, would you do me the honor?"
Han Wenya was in a dilemma whether to nod or not. She almost wanted to splash the wine in her glass on the two people's faces, but she couldn't care less at the moment. Although she felt that the hidden characters would not be these two people, she still asked the system for insurance purposes:
"Could the hidden character you're talking about be one of these two people?"
'Not either of these two people, no hint.' The system gave a positive answer.
Han Wenya breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that it wasn't true. Otherwise, she felt that she would still be more willing to attack Qin Bulu.
Since that wasn't the case, Han Wenya smiled and said, "You two are really worried when you say that. You are both very busy people, with endless business every day. It is my honor to have time to watch my play. If you want to have a meal, as long as you are free, I will of course talk to my agent. As long as you don't have any other plans, everything is fine."
"People say Miss Han is hard to approach, but it seems that's all nonsense. Miss Han is so gentle and lovely." The greasy man smiled and approached Han Wenya, "What kind of perfume is Miss Han using? Why does it smell so good?"
Han Wenya was about to jump up, forcing herself to suppress the nausea in her heart and the urge to slap this man. It was hard for her to keep smiling:
"I really didn't know that. They were all gifts from my friends. It's an honor for this perfume to be liked by you."
"Haha, Miss Han has such a sweet mouth." The greasy man moved closer and closer, his hands almost touching Han Wenya.
Han Wenya could no longer bear it. She suddenly stood up and shouted in surprise, "Mr. Qin."
Then, as if feeling very embarrassed, she said to the two men, "Sorry, I have to leave for a while. You two can chat slowly."
The two men were stunned, only then realizing that Han Wenya was heading straight for Qin Buzhu. They exchanged glances, watching Qin Buzhu's reaction calmly.
Qin Buzhu didn't hear the first call at all, until Han Wenya walked up to him and called out again, then he realized she was calling him.
Qin Bulu's memory was naturally not bad. He frowned and thought for a moment before he remembered who Han Wenya was. He was quite impatient with Han Wenya's online slander of Shi Feiye and her repeated attempts to get close to Shi Feiye.
He didn't realize that Han Wenya was coming for him, but he didn't understand why Han Wenya had the nerve to call him, and what her purpose was in calling him.
Han Wenya didn't care what her purpose was. She didn't care about hooking up with Qin Bulu at the moment. She just wanted to get rid of the two men behind her. She didn't know their identities, but the ones who came to this party were most likely people she couldn't afford to offend. Since she couldn't offend them openly, she could only take advantage of their situation.
But it wasn't easy to borrow someone's influence. She didn't know anyone here. Looking around the entire hall, she only knew Qin Bulu. Shi Feiye was a bit far away, so she couldn't borrow someone's influence. So, without thinking, she called out to Qin Bulu first.
"Mr. Qin, don't you remember me? I'm A Ye's friend. I didn't expect to see you here." Han Wenya looked very surprised and a little happy:
"Since Mr. Qin is here, is A Ye here too? Why don't I see her?"
Han Wenya was afraid that Qin Buru would just say he didn't know her, so she quickly summoned Shi Feiye to prevent Qin Buru from embarrassing her.
Actually, it's okay to embarrass her, but she absolutely cannot do it in front of those two men, otherwise she will offend them.
Qin Bulu didn't respond to Han Wenya's words. He knew very well that Shi Feiye didn't like Han Wenya. He also thought it was very strange that Han Wenya had forced herself into this banquet just to see Shi Feiye. He didn't believe that Han Wenya didn't have some ulterior motives, so he naturally wouldn't let Han Wenya go to see Shi Feiye directly.
If Han Wenya knew what Qin Buzhu was thinking, she would probably cry herself to death. This is such a huge injustice.
"Hey, who is this, second brother? You actually know a woman other than second sister-in-law. That's really strange." Zou Lianxun immediately mistook Han Wenya for one of those women who had tried to get close to Qin Buzhu before, and started joking without any care.
