The banquet began. Ling Xiaosu sat beside the heaven defying official and felt the gazes coming from all directions.
This feeling was really bad. She hoped that the banquet would soon end.
The heaven defying official seemed to be aware of her uneasiness. He turned his head to look at her, before placing some of the dishes into her bowl and consoling her in a low voice, "Don't worry. No one will hurt you with me here."
Ling Xiaosu looked back at him. There was a hint of gentleness in the man's cold eyes, but his expression was serious. With such a close contact, Ling Xiaosu could feel his breath on her neck. It was hot and itchy.
Looking at his handsome appearance, her heartbeat quickened. A man as outstanding as a heaven defying official was born with a fatal attraction to women.
Even Ling Xiaosu was not spared.
She shook her head and whispered, "I'm fine, I'm just not used to it."
A person born into a commoner like her had never attended such a high class banquet before. "En." The heaven defying official hummed and said softly, "I will get used to it in the future."
After he said this, Ling Xiaosu's ears started to get a bit hot. She knew that this was just a deal, but she still wasn't able to control her emotions.
To the eyes of outsiders, they didn't seem like that. The reverse grandpa sat at the head of the group, looking at the couple beside him with a dignified look in his eyes. He had never seen Tian Chen so patient with a girl before.
The more he was like this, the more he was dissatisfied with Ling Xiaosu. He felt that other than the fiancée he had chosen for Tian Chen, the other girls who had gotten close to him were all profitable.
When second uncle saw this couple, it was as if a flower bloomed in his heart. He absolutely did not oppose the Heaven Defying Minister and Ling Xiaosu being together. Not only did he not oppose it, he even tried to promote them.
As long as the heaven defying official wasn't too happy with him, then he would be the chosen one to be the next successor of the family.
"Look at the two of you, don't just keep your heads down and talk. This is the fiancee that Tian Chen brought back today, second uncle thinks it's pretty good. Don't you want to drink with us?"
"Second Uncle is right, I have been careless."
Just as he was about to get up, the old man lightly said, "Tian Chen, your uncle Chu is here today. Go and bring him a goblet of wine."
"Esteemed wangfei, this old man is here as well!" This old man looked at the lordmaster and acknowledged in a low voice. After the heaven defying official left, the atmosphere at the dining table immediately froze.
The crowd looked at Ling Xiaosu with undisguised gazes. With the old man acting in such a disrespectful manner, it was clear that he did not agree with Ling Xiaosu. Even if Second Uncle had the intention of helping him, he had no choice but to shut his mouth at this moment to prevent himself from getting into trouble.
Ling Xiaosu felt as if she was sitting on pins and needles as she said goodbye to everyone and left.
The lordmaster's gaze was a bit cold, but he didn't say anything. The Third Uncle harrumphed and said, "He's uncultured."
Ling Xiaosu finally felt at ease when she entered the bathroom.
Since she was from a rich and powerful family, it was only right that she felt the gap between them.
He purposely lingered in the bathroom for a while before he came out. Next to the sink stood a girl wearing a red bra.
Her thick makeup made her look like she was wearing a mask. She couldn't bear to look at it directly.
Ling Xiaosu did not look at her. As she walked past her, she reached out her hand to stop her, "Wait."
"What's the matter?" Ling Xiaosu didn't seem to know her. Not only did she not know her, she didn't know many people.
Chu Xiaoran's expression was arrogant as she swept her gaze over her from head to toe, her tone arrogant, "You are the fiancée that big brother Tian Chen brought back. Hmph, how did you seduce him? Tell me, how much money do you want to leave him? Is one million enough? Once you take the money, quickly scram."
She took the red handbag from the sink, opened it, took out a check, wrote it down, and tossed it to her.
Ling Xiaosu was baffled. To be able to feel the enmity coming from the girl, she must be a suitor for the heaven defying official. After all, he was so outstanding that he definitely did not lack women.
Holding the cheque in her hand, she looked at the numbers on it and gave a mocking smile. "One million, your big brother Tianchen is only worth one million."
The rich were really generous, paying a million yuan for it.
When Chu Xiaoran heard her words, she coldly snorted and said, "A woman like you is truly shameless. Speak, how much money are you willing to leave Brother Chenren?"
"You are shameless, young lady. Please watch your words. How can I be shameless? Do I know you well?" And why should I listen to you. " Ling Xiaosu was baffled. She wasn't someone that could be easily bullied when someone insulted her.
Chu Xiaoran crossed her arms in front of her chest and arrogantly raised her head, "I am your fiancee. Who do you think you are? Hurry up and take the money and get out of here."
"Heh." Ling Xiaosu was infuriated by her laugh. Are rich people so unreasonable?
"Young lady, please be careful when you speak, it is useless wasting your time on me, why not speak to Tian Chen. And I'll take this check first. "
Seeing the sneer on her face, Ling Xiaosu didn't mind at all. Holding the cheque between his fingers, he changed the topic, "But? I think you need it more. Now, I'm going to give it to you and take the money back to a school so I can learn how to write the word courtesy. "
Ling Xiaosu placed the cheque on her arm. Seeing her dark face, she somehow felt comfortable in her heart. Hmm, being a rich person feels good. Throwing away a cheque at random feels even better.
Chu Xiaoran was infuriated by her words. She pointed at her and said, "You don't know what's good for you!"
Ling Xiaosu couldn't be bothered to argue with her, so she went around her and left the bathroom.
Chu Xiaoran stomped her feet in anger, "I won't let you off."
When Ling Xiaosu came out, she saw the Heaven Defying Minister from afar. He leaned against the wall with the cigarette between his fingers. The smoke slowly surrounded his face and dispersed in all directions. His handsome face was hidden behind the white smoke, giving off a vague sense of beauty.
Seemingly sensing her gaze, the heaven defying official inclined his head and looked over.
Only then did Ling Xiaosu realize that she had been staring at him for a long time. After meeting him, she found herself more and more infatuated. As she approached, she put out her cigarette and threw it in a parabola into the trash can.
"Let's go."
Ling Xiaosu nodded and followed behind him.
It was time to dance. Soft singing echoed in the hall as everyone hugged and danced in an elegant posture.
The heaven defying official stopped, lowering his head to look at her, extending a slender hand with five fingers, "Miss Ling, can I ask you to dance?"
His voice was low and somewhat cold, but it had a unique sexiness to it. Ling Xiaosu raised her hand and placed it in his broad palm without a second thought. The two of them held hands and entered the dance floor. When the dancing crowd saw the two of them, they stopped and left, standing to the side and watching.
Ling Xiaosu knew this kind of duo dance, and even learned it when she was dating Yan Xu Yan. At that time, she really liked him, and she would have done anything he asked her to learn.
In the end, however, she had made a mistake. Yan Qiuyan was a scum of a man, but luckily, she had found out his true appearance in the end.
A low, cold voice resounded in his ears. "Don't think about other men in front of me."
