Qixi

They had heard about Lin Ruoxi’s identity as the president of Yu Lei International, but it wasn't a big deal in Beijing.

Why would Minister Ning Guangyao even be interested in her?

Wouldn’t it make more sense for Ning Guangyao to greet Yang Chen instead?

Yang Chen frowned. He looked at Ning Guangyao coldly when he saw that Lin Ruoxi had stopped moving. “Minister Ning, can I help you?”

Ning Guangyao finally diverted his gaze towards Yang Chen.

He suppressed his emotions and smiled. “Congratulations on your return to the Yang clan. I’m sure we’ll have plenty more opportunities to meet in the future.”

“Don’t flatter yourself. Someone like you isn’t worth meeting at all.” Yang Chen was straightforward.

The atmosphere became a bit tense and everyone held their breath as they watched on.

It was a direct confrontation between the Yang and Ning clan.

They didn’t understand what was happening but they were quick-witted enough to remain quiet and watch them.

Ning Guangyao’s face darkened but he recovered quickly with a smile. “Looks like Master Yang has finally found an extraordinary heir. I’ve known your father for years and not once has he spoken so confidently.”

“I don’t who you’re talking about,” Yang Chen said coldly. “I’m bringing my wife to celebrate Qixi. Enjoy the rest of the party”

After saying that, Yang Chen pulled Lin Ruoxi’s hand and dragged her to the door.

“Wait, don’t go yet.” Ning Guodong spoke up.

Yang Chen turned around and saw that he was smiling creepily. He had a glass of champagne in one hand as he stared at Lin Ruoxi with a snake-like gaze.

“You’re both VIPs today, how can you leave without having a drink with me? Plus, my father is here. It would be the responsible thing to do?”

With that, Ning Guodong signaled the server to offer them both a glass of champagne.

When both of them remained still, Ning Guodong feigned curiosity and asked, “What’s wrong? Brother Yang, you were acting so generously earlier but why are you backing out on a glass of champagne?”

Lin Ruoxi raised her head and accepted the glasses for both for them before Yang Chen could do it himself. She passed it into his hand and looked at Ning Guodong coldly, “We’ll drink it.”

Yang Chen looked at Lin Ruoxi in surprise, wondering when did she manage to pull herself together.

Ning Guangyao gave his son a weird look but Ning Guodong ignored him.

To his dismay, when he turned to look at Lin Ruoxi, she avoided eye contact with him deliberately.

He sighed internally and raised his glass to clink glasses with all of them.

Right after that, Ning Guodong blurted out, “Happy Qixi, my younger sister and sister-in-law…”
