Chapter 98: Chapter 98 Celebration Banquet (4 more updates)

Translator: 549690339

By the time Chen Xiaoyi and Wang Wenjian arrived, the hall was already glittering with stars.

These celebrities and stars were clustered in groups, wearing self-satisfied smiles on their faces.

Nobody noticed Chen Xiaoyi and Wang Wenjian.

The two men also felt somewhat awkward.

But just then, Fan Mengxue, dressed in her finery, stepped forward to greet them with a gentle smile on her face.

“Welcome both of you to tonight’s banquet!”

Wang Wenjian was so excited that his whole body trembled.

This was Fan Mengxue!

The goddess in his mind!

And this scene made many onlookers slightly surprised. What was the background of these two men?

That Fan Mengxue would actually come forward to welcome them personally?

“Mr. Xue hasn’t arrived yet?” Chen Xiaoyi looked around the venue, searching for traces of Xue An.

Fan Mengxue smiled, “He’s bringing the children, so he’ll be a little late!”

While they were speaking, Mr. and Mrs. Cao Zheng arrived.

Many stars’ eyes brightened upon seeing Cao Zheng.

After “God Slayer,” the reputation of the genius director Cao Zheng had peaked once again.

Therefore, many stars were trying to cozy up to him.

Like many female stars, who were now sashaying forward, trying to strike up a conversation.

But Cao Zheng kept his eyes straight ahead, expressionless, his heart only had room for Ah Xiu beside him.

Ah Xiu, however, was somewhat shrinking, because looking around at the unfamiliar yet familiar scene, the past involuntarily came flooding back to her.

At that moment, a female manager approached with a smile on her face.

“Director Cao, you’ve arrived. Please, this way,” she said.

Cao Zheng nodded.

The manager then said, “This must be Mrs. Cao…”

Suddenly, the female manager’s eyes bulged in shock.

Ah Xiu looked at the manager and said softly, “Molly, do you still recognize

Molly looked as if she had seen a ghost.

“You… you…”

Molly was stunned, her mind a whirlwind of shock.

Back then, Ah Xiu was the lobby manager at the Lijiu Hotel, and she worked under her. Jealous of Ah Xiu’s achievements, she deliberately found an opportunity for Ah Xiu to deliver water to the drunken Mr. Xie.

In the end, Ah Xiu was thrown down the stairs, and she stood by watching coldly.

At the time, she thought that woman was as good as dead, if not crippled.

But she never expected that today she would return.

And she was now the wife of the recently famous director Cao Zheng.

Ah Xiu looked coldly at this woman.

Molly clenched her teeth and, with a stern heart, thought, what difference does it make now?

She knew that Mr. Xie would definitely come tonight, and when he did, none of these people would fare well.

So she forced a smile and said, “So it’s little sister Ah Xiu!”

Cao Zheng noticed his wife’s unusual behavior and was about to say something.

Outside, there was a commotion.

Xie Tianci, Shi Hao, Hua Ruyue, and others walked in.

Their arrival startled many, while others grew excited.

Here they comes!

Now the party was heating up!

After entering the room, Xie Tianci looked around the entire hall, and under his icy gaze, many shrank away.

His eyes then paused on Fan Mengxue, dressed in her finest, and a touch of greed flashed in his eyes.

This woman truly was stunning!

Then Xie Tianci noticed Cao Zheng and the quivering Ah Xiu beside him.

The corners of his mouth couldn’t help but curve into a cold smile.

At that moment, Qin Yu and Hei King walked over.

“Mr. Xie!” Qin Yu nodded in greeting.

Xie Tianci looked at Qin Yu and suddenly smiled, “I’m really curious, who gave you the courage? Liang Yongqi?”

The room gradually quieted down.

Shi Hao watched Qin Yu with interest, thinking to himself that this young lady wasn’t bad-looking at all!

Qin Yu’s expression turned ugly, “Mr. Xie, what do you mean by that?”

“You come to my turf, shoot a movie, and don’t mention it, but you even hold your celebration right at my doorstep. Do you really think the provincial city is your Qin Family’s Beijiang?” Xie Tianci said with a cold voice.

Qin Yu gritted her teeth, “Mr. Xie…”

Xie Tianci waved his hand and sneered, “Since you dared to do it, you should be prepared for retaliation. Shi Hao, do it!”

Shi Hao sneered, stepped forward, and said, “Little lady, with your delicate skin and tender flesh, I reckon my punch would turn you into a meat paste. How about you kneel down, apologize to Mr. Xie, accompany me for the night, and then I’ll let you go? How about that?”

Qin Yu’s face turned almost green with anger.

But at that moment, Hei King impassively shielded Qin Yu behind him and faced Shi Hao, “Your opponent is me!”

Shi Hao sneered, “Then prepare to die!”

Shi Hao threw a punch, and within the force of the punch were faint sounds of wind and thunder.

This was a move he had recently understood.

Hei King’s face changed drastically, not expecting this wealthy young master to be so formidable. He could only muster up a hasty defense against the punch.

Boom.

Hei King was directly sent flying back over a dozen steps, crashing into a table and spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood before collapsing, unable to stand.

The room fell utterly silent.

Shi Hao, with a look of triumph, said, “Who else?”

At that moment, Hua Ruyue mocked Fan Mengxue with a sneer, “Ms. Fan, see that? Don’t think you’re special just because you made a movie. This is the Xie

Family’s territory!”

Fan Mengxue, however, remained calm and showed no sign of fear.

Wang Wenjian, on the other hand, impulsively wanted to step forward to protect his goddess.

But Chen Xiaoyi held him back.

Then with a grave expression, he shook his head at Wang Wenjian.

Wang Wenjian had no choice but to stand down.

At this point, Shi Hao sneered as he moved forward, saying as he walked, “Mr. Xie, this woman is mine, and that Fan Mengxue is yours!”

Nobody dared to speak.

After all, the Xie Family had amassed significant influence in the provincial city over the years, and nobody wanted to provoke them.

Meanwhile, Qin Yu was slowly retreating, her heart filled with anxiety.

Why hasn’t Mr. Xue arrived yet?

At this moment, Xie Tianci smiled, “No rush, the night is still young. Let’s take our time to enjoy, I’ll take care of this Cao Zheng first!”

As he said this, Xie Tianci turned his head to look at Cao Zheng and Ah Xiu, letting out a slight cold laugh.

“Director Cao, you’re quite persistent, I must say. It’s a pity, no matter who you find to help you, you can’t defeat me. As for your wife, it’s truly regrettable that she didn’t die back then!”

Ah Xiu shuddered all over.

Molly watched with great pleasure, thinking to herself that now they were done for!

Extreme rage flared in Cao Zheng’s eyes.

He wished he could devour Xie Tianci right there and then.

But just then, Bi Yuntao rushed over, standing in front of Cao Zheng.

His action surprised many.

“You can’t attack Director Cao!” Although Bi Yuntao was afraid, he still tried to maintain his composure.

Xie Tianci frowned slightly, “Get lost!”

Bi Yuntao stiffened up, but he didn’t budge.

At that moment, Cao Zheng patted his shoulder and then stepped forward, speaking in a deep voice.

“Xie Tianci, don’t think you can cover the sky with one hand here in the provincial city!”

Xie Tianci smirked arrogantly, “Sorry, but I can indeed cover the sky with one hand here. What can you do about it?”

And at that moment, a detached voice came from the entrance.

“Cover the sky with one hand? Then I’ll cut off that hand of yours!”
