Chapter 49

They followed Li Yan’s gaze and saw a young man and a young woman chatting happily as they entered the banquet hall.

The young man was the young master of Han’s family. They had met before, and there was nothing wrong with him.

As for the young woman in the long white dress beside him…

Su Chen and Lu Jingzhi were slightly stunned. They turned their gazes onto Li Yan once again, but saw that his expression had darkened. His eyes were burning with anger, as if he was going to burn a hole through that young woman’s body with his gaze.

Li Yan’s gaze fixed intently on that figure in white. She was holding the man’s arm with a smile on her face, and Li Yan knew that man.

He was the man who had claimed to be her “boyfriend”!

Lu Jingzhi smirked and his expression was somewhat rogueish. “Don’t tell me, this beautiful young woman happens to be the big brother’s woman that Ling Xi mentioned?”

Su Chen’s deep black eyes squinted cryptically. It was obvious that Lu Jingzhi did not recognize the other person’s identity.

…..

Qiao Mu followed Han Su into the banquet hall.

Qiao Mu was wearing a long white dress, and her long, shiny black hair gently draped over her shoulders. She did not dress flamboyantly nor reservedly, and her beauty was just perfect…

Han Su lowered his head to look at Qiao Mu beside him. In normal times, Qiao Mu always acted carefreely and spoke according to her own wishes, but right now at that moment, she appeared so magnificent. The aura from the core of her very bones was on full display.

She was just an eighteen year old young woman, but she could actually be this beautiful.

Qiao Mu realized that Han Su was staring at her, so she blinked in confusion, “Senior, what’s wrong?”

“Your dress really suits you, I have quite a good taste.” Han Su’s bright eyes were twinkling as he stared at Qiao Mu.

Qiao Mu chuckled, “Senior, who else would boast like you do? Right, as you’ve said before, I just need to follow you after I go in. That you’ll bring me out the way you brought me in.”

“Relax, do you think I’ll leave you here alone?” Han Su looked resigned.

Since young, Qiao Mu had never attended any other events apart from Qiao family’s banquets. Although she disliked rich people’s parties, she could not reject Han Su when she owed him one.

Qiao Mu followed Han Su into the banquet hall. She unintentionally looked up and suddenly met a powerful gaze that froze her. With a sudden quiver, she noticed the man who was sitting on the couch in the corner.

Although she was a distance away from him, Qiao Mu could clearly see how dark his expression was. The coldness deep within his black eyes could not be held back by mere distance.

Li Yan was actually invited!

Qiao Mu thought the private banquet mentioned by Han Su was just some gathering between his friends. She did not think that the banquet was this grand!

Why was she this lucky? Of all the people, Li Yan was here!

At this time, Han Su also discovered Li Yan’s presence. He lowered his head to look at Qiao Mu, “Isn’t it your uncle over there?”

Without waiting for Qiao Mu to speak up, Han Su started to smile, “We’re encountering your uncle once again. Now your uncle will really think that we’re a couple. Let’s go over to say hi.”

Qiao Mu was speechless.

He looks angry enough, could he not make things any worse?

…..

On the other end, Lu Jingzhi looked at Han Su and Qiao Mu as they walked over, and he started laughing as he somewhat took pleasure in their misfortune, “They still dare to come over? Don’t they notice that the tiger is baring all its fangs?”

Su Chen felt resigned, “Can you speak less and shut up. Just enjoy the show.”

Lu Jingzhi simply sat down and crossed his legs as he waited for the show to begin.

But why did he feel that this young woman looked so familiar?

A thought flashed across his mind…

Then, the young woman stood before Li Yan. She stood respectfully and mumbled softly, “Uncle…”
