It was 10: 50 AM at the entrance of the Sea Wave Hotel.
Lan Wanting's beautiful face revealed a smile that would make people want to bathe in spring breeze when they heard Ye Xuan's words. "Ye Xuan, aren't you early as well?"
"It's getting late. Should we go in?"
Lan Wanting lightly smiled as she extended her slender, pure white hand and gracefully held onto Ye Xuan's arm.
Ye Xuan was astonished by her action. He didn't think that Lan Wanting would be so casual, and following this action, Ye Xuan's body was intimately in contact with hers. Especially since his arm was only a few centimeters away from the mountain that stood in front of Lan Wanting.
However, the experienced Ye Xuan was extremely calm and collected. He didn't move from his position in the slightest as he intimately walked toward the Sea Wave Hotel with Lan Wanting.
Ye Xuan and Lan Wanting walked into the luxurious hotel lobby. Under the respectful guidance of the waiter, they arrived at a lavishly decorated banquet hall.
Although the banquet had yet to begin, a large number of famous officials and nobles had gathered here.
It had to be known that those who participated in the banquet were all well-known nobles and wealthy merchants with extraordinary statuses. If it wasn't for Lan Wanting's invitation, the current Ye Xuan wouldn't even have the qualifications to attend this banquet.
Ye Xuan and Lan Wanting each took a glass of red wine and found a corner seat to sit at as they chatted and laughed. They seemed to be very happy.
However, their happy conversation was quickly interrupted.
A rather handsome young man in a Gucci suit walked up to Lan Wanting with a glass of red wine in his hand. He smiled and said, "Wanting, long time no see. You've really made me miss you!"
His name was Qian Jianchen, and he was Qian Xingchen's elder brother. After returning from studying abroad two years ago, he had some ability and means. Now, he was the CEO of the Qian Group, and was only second to the young master of the Qian Family.
"Young Master Qian, long time no see."
Lan Wanting to be polite, she raised her glass to Qian Jianchen and took a sip. Her actions were graceful and noble.
"Wan Ting, who is this?"
Qian Jianchen faintly smiled as his gaze flashed toward Ye Xuan, who was beside Lan Wanting. An extremely deep, cold light flashed through his eyes as he voiced his doubts.
"My good friend, Ye Xuan!"
Lan Wanting introduced her in a rather generous manner.
"Ye Xuan?" "What a familiar name."
Qian Jianchen pretended to be deep in thought. Soon after, he revealed an expression of enlightenment. "Oh, I remember now. He can't be the Ye Family's Ye Xuan, who turned into a vegetable after being kicked out of the Ye Family and became a prisoner, right?"
"However, I never thought that this trash would actually wake up." "Wan Ting, as a friend, I have to say a few words to you. Don't get involved with this kind of trash to lower your own taste and reputation."
Qian Jianchen purposely raised his voice to such a high pitch that everyone in the banquet couldn't help but stop what they were doing and look in Ye Xuan's direction.
Many of those who knew Ye Xuan looked at him with disdain as they discussed amongst themselves.
"That's the trash, Ye Xuan, who was kicked out of the Ye Family. I didn't expect this guy to wake up …"
"So what if I wake up. In the end, I'm still a piece of trash …"
"I wonder what Lan Wanting is thinking. She actually walked so close to Ye Xuan. He's no longer the Ye Family's young master from before …"
"Qian Jianchen adored and adored Lan Wanting. Now that he's seeing Lan Wanting walking together with trash like Ye Xuan, there's going to be a good show to watch …"
"Looks like this banquet wasn't in vain."
The sexy and beautiful woman sitting in the corner far away and the handsome and handsome young man were happily chatting with each other, and the surrounding chatter stopped at this moment as they looked in Ye Xuan's direction.
When the beautiful woman saw Ye Xuan, her expression couldn't help but change slightly. She subconsciously asked, "Ye Xuan, why would he be here?"
"Qingcheng, you know him?"
Seeing Leng Qingcheng's reaction and hearing her words, the young man was stunned. This was the first time he had seen Leng Qingcheng lose her composure like this, and he couldn't help but ask.
"En!"
Leng Qingcheng lightly nodded her head. She didn't explain anything, but her heart was filled with heaviness instead.
The reason she didn't bring Ye Xuan to attend the banquet was because she was afraid that he'd be humiliated at the banquet. But now Ye Xuan had appeared at the banquet.
Leng Qingcheng felt a headache coming on.
What else could this fellow be doing other than staying at home and joining in on the fun?
At this moment, Leng Qingcheng's heart was filled with anxiety and helplessness!
She was well aware of how difficult it would be for Ye Xuan to come here!
He pointed at Ye Xuan and condescendingly said, "Ye Xuan, since you have nothing left but a pathetic prisoner, you don't have the qualifications to participate in this banquet. You can't have sneakily snuck in, right? Where are the security guards? Hurry up and chase this beggar away … "
"Qian Jianchen, don't go too far. I invited Ye Xuan to accompany me to this banquet. Who dares to say that he doesn't have the qualifications?"
However, before Qian Jianchen could finish his words, he was interrupted by Lan Wanting's angry voice.
She looked around as powerful words came out of her mouth, "Remember, Ye Xuan is my friend. Insulting Ye Xuan is insulting me, Lan Wanting. He is the enemy of my Deep Blue Group!"
Hearing Lan Wanting's powerful words and seeing her angry appearance, the entire banquet went into an uproar. No one would have imagined that Lan Wanting would say something like this for a person who had kicked out of the family like Ye Xuan.
One must know that Lan Wanting was the future heir of one of the Four Great Families of Xinghai. Even Qian Xingchen's status was lower than hers. Her words held a lot of weight in Xinghai, and few dared to disobey!
Humiliating Ye Xuan would humiliate her, Lan Wanting. It would be an enemy of her Blue Conglomerate!
No one would have thought that the seemingly gentle Lan Wanting would display such a domineering and resolute side, even if it's the person involved, Ye Xuan.
The fact that Lan Wanting was able to say such words at the lowest point of his life, when he was looked down by the world, caused Ye Xuan to be moved greatly. He couldn't help but think of his brothers and friends from before.
Lan Wanting was like those guys, defending him at all costs!
The corner of Ye Xuan's mouth curled up slightly as a trace of a smile appeared on it. A warm feeling flowed through his heart. This feeling was truly nostalgic.
"Wan Ting, you actually did this for this trash? Is it worth it?"
Qian Jianchen clenched his fists tightly as he tried to suppress the anger in his heart. "Do you know what kind of trouble you're going to bring to your Blue Team?"
"It's not up to you to meddle in my matters!"
Lan Wanting answered coldly.
"You … You. You trash only know how to hide behind a woman's butt? "
Qian Jianchen was furious to the extreme, but he wasn't able to vent it on Lan Wanting. He could only point at Ye Xuan and yell.
"Why aren't you admitting it? Are you envious or jealous? I guess you're jealous and envious! You want to find a beautiful woman like Wan Ting to hide from even if you have a temper? "
Looking at Qian Jianchen's enraged expression, Ye Xuan raised a glass of red wine and lightly sipped on it. He was relatively calm as he spoke.
"You bastard, why are you still so confident when you're eating soft food?" Qian Jianchen was furious to the extreme.
"So what if you eat soft food? Someone has to be willing to let you eat. If you don't accept it, you can as well? Let me tell you, eating soft food is also a skill. First of all, you have to be as handsome, as handsome, and as spirited as me … "You can tell with one look that you're a bully, so even if I'm being soft now, you can only watch and do nothing!"
Ye Xuan was calm and collected. His manner of guiding the river was in stark contrast to Qian Jianchen's appearance of losing his grace and the atmosphere of jealousy that surrounded him. He teased Qian Jianchen from the corner of his mouth.
"I know you are very jealous and angry, but …" This was fate! Qian Jianchen, don't envy this brother. This brother is just a legend. "
"Haha …"
Hearing Ye Xuan's words and seeing Qian Jianchen's angry appearance, many people couldn't help but laugh.
Being able to see Qian Jianchen being humiliated was something they were very happy about. After all, this was the first time they had seen such a thing.
Who would've thought that the famous Qian Jianchen would suffer defeat at the hands of Ye Xuan?
Furthermore, he was being scolded by Ye Xuan in front of so many people!
This Ye Xuan is extremely valiant!
"You … "You …"
Qian Jianchen was so angered by Ye Xuan's words that he almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He didn't say anything for a long time.
"What about me? He was even the CEO of a lousy corporation, not even knowing how to speak … Oh, I'm sorry, I almost forgot, you're a turtle, there's no water here. "Eh, that's not right. A sea turtle can speak even when it doesn't have water. It seems like you might not be a sea turtle, but rather a b * stard!"
Ye Xuan slowly said in an apologetic tone.
"Haha …"
His words caused the entire audience to burst into laughter. Normally, Qian Jianchen would show off his identity as a "homecoming", but now he was being teased by Ye Xuan. This was truly interesting …
"You damned bastard …"
At this moment, it was difficult for Qian Jianchen to maintain his composure. Cold light shot out from his eyes as he swung his right hand, which carried a powerful force, at Ye Xuan.
"Heavens, Qian Jianchen has finally made his move. This time, Ye Xuan is finished!"
"That's true. You must know that Qian Jianchen has practiced fencing and fighting abroad. He is quite good at fighting!" I reckon that kid, Ye Xuan, will be beaten to the point that his teeth will be gritted all over the ground. "
"This is truly a good show."
"That brat Ye Xuan is doomed …"
Seeing that, the crowd started to boil again. It could be said that they were extremely excited.
"Die!"
In just an instant, Qian Jianchen arrived in front of Ye Xuan with his fist raised. He roared in rage as he smashed his fist towards Ye Xuan at an even faster speed.
However, Ye Xuan was still calm and collected as he spoke in righteous words, "Fighting at a banquet is simply a disgrace to one's mind. To think that you're still a sea turtle!"
"Didn't your parents teach you how to be polite? What is gentle?"
"Clang clang …"
The instant Ye Xuan spoke, his right foot shot out like lightning and tripped Qian Jianchen, causing his body to instantly become unbalanced.
With a clanging sound, Qian Jianchen's head landed on the table beside Ye Xuan and he was sent flying. He crashed onto the table, causing a terrifying impact that shattered the table. After that, he fell flat on his face.
This sudden scene completely stunned everyone present, causing them to stare with wide eyes and open mouths. Their faces were filled with astonishment and disbelief.
They originally thought that Ye Xuan would be the next one to be beaten up by Qian Jianchen. They never thought that Qian Jianchen would be tripped by Ye Xuan and then fly out flying with a beautiful dog eating shit. Meanwhile, Ye Xuan was still sitting there leisurely, sipping wine. He looked like a noble.
At this moment, everyone seemed to have an illusion that Ye Xuan was a true noble while Qian Jianchen was a lamentable clown.
Even Leng Qingcheng, who was at the side, was dumbstruck. Lan Wanting looked at Ye Xuan with undisguised admiration.
"Ye Xuan, you damned bastard. Today, this young master will kill you!"
Qian Jianchen was extremely furious that he fell to the ground in front of so many people. He stood up with much difficulty and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his hand as he glared hatefully at Ye Xuan.
"Men, take this bastard out and chop him into pieces for me to feed to the dogs!"
