Ch. 86..90: Mr CEO Ex-wife Escapes Again Chapter 86-90
Chapter 86: I Want You Dead! Yin Xue’s mind was indeed exceptional.
To secure her own victory, she actually leaked such a secret from the building.
Jinse was the first to learn of this, shivering with anger, she hurried down the stairs to find Yin Hehe.
“Xiaohan, I don’t know what’s going on? The people outside already know about your bet with Mr. He, and they are particularly excited,” she said as she entered, speaking to Yin Hehe who was sitting in front of the computer.
Upon hearing this, Yin Hehe, who was sitting upright, quickly glanced at Jinse.
“Don’t worry, just proceed as per the original plan,” she said.
“What?”
Jinse was stunned for a moment.
The original plan?
Was she referring to having her continue managing the banquet upstairs?
She was a bit confused, even feeling that this nanny was a bit off, as she didn’t dare to meet her eyes.
“Xiaohan, you….”
“Aunt Jin, in order to express his gratitude, Mr. Yanben has also brought a gift over, you just need to take some people to the entrance to receive it,” Yin Hehe suddenly said quickly while sitting there.
Jinse: “….”
Wait, she was talking about the attack on Baiqing Building by the people outside, why did she suddenly bring up a gift?
Jinse was utterly baffled.
But in the end, without a better option, she could only come out of the office and go to the main entrance to welcome the visitor.
Indeed, upon leading people to the entrance, it took less than five minutes before she saw a silver Cadillac appear on the shimmering street ahead.
Once it saw the large red lantern outside Baiqing Building, it headed straight toward it.
“Screech!”
The sedan finally stopped.
Seeing this, Jinse hurriedly went to greet them.
“こんにちは,ここは百庆楼ですか?”
It was a very beautiful and elegant woman. As the car stopped, only the edge of a white garment fluttered out from the dim light, and in a moment, the beautiful lady in a kimono appeared like a celestial maiden descended to the mortal world.
She appeared before the crowd.
Jinse was stunned.
And the surrounding onlookers, after seeing this scene, gasped sharply in unison, as their eyes widened in awe.
They had never seen such a beautiful woman.
“Hello, this is Baiqing Building, may I ask who you are?” asked Jinse, finally getting her composure back and inquiring politely.
But she saw the beautiful woman, who spoke fluent Japanese, reveal a bright and charming smile upon being asked about her identity.
“I am Nan Jiazi, here to deliver a gift for Lord Yanben,” she said, this time in Chinese.
Jinse finally understood, and suddenly, she looked towards the servant behind this Japanese lady, holding the gift.
A box this big? What was it?
“This is Tongshan Ink from our country, the only piece left in Japan. Lord Yanben said to gift it to you, as a meeting present,” said the beautiful lady in the kimono, playfully smiling in the light.
Jinse was once again struck as if by something!
It wasn’t her fault; the Japanese woman before her just didn’t seem like a natural creation; she was like someone who had stepped out of a painting.
Or indeed dropped from the heavens.
In any case, Jinse had truly never seen such a beautiful woman, it was too unreal.
“Tongshan Ink? Isn’t that a national treasure from over there? My God, they are willing to give such fine things to Baiqing Building?”
“Yes, I heard that this kind of ink has been extinct for a while, and not a single piece can be found anywhere in the world.”
“!!!!!”
The people around had already started to discuss.
When they heard that this gift box was actually the globally renowned Tongshan Ink, they were so shocked that their eyeballs nearly dropped to the ground.
Tongshan Ink was indeed that precious.
So, why would there still be skepticism? Why was the R country diplomat at Baiqing Building tower, seeking its collection?
These people began to doubt the public opinion…
About ten minutes later, Jinse Se brought the R country woman to the tower and presented her to the R country diplomat amidst the party’s mingling of cups and laughter.
“Lord Yanben, I have brought your gift.”
“Jiazi? Thank you for your troubles.” Yanben was very happy to see his compatriot and friend.
In an instant, as his words fell, the banquet grew quiet, with nearly everyone staring at this breathtakingly beautiful woman.
Including Lan Yufeng.
Coming from an excellent family background like his, he had seen countless beautiful women, but at this moment, he could not look away from this R country woman after just one glance.
“Jiazi? Mr. Yanben, is she your friend?”
“Yes, Mr. Lan, she is Miss Nan from the Nan clan, who used to accompany the princess in the palace while I served as a guard. Gradually, we became good friends,” explained Yanben.
R country still retained its monarchy, naturally maintaining a complete royal system.
Lan Yufeng’s interest was piqued even more.
“I see, no wonder she’s so beautiful. She is a miss from the Nan clan, famous for its beauties in your R country, right? I remember a few years back, the sudden appearance of a ‘Moonlight Goddess,’ who seemed to come from the Nan clan.”
Unexpectedly, Lan Yufeng knew quite a bit.
Yanben laughed.
“Yes, that’s her!” he suddenly revealed a shocking secret in front of everyone.
In an instant, a collective gasp rose in the building, and everyone stared dumbfounded at the R country woman.
Including Lan Yufeng.
They were shocked, incredulous…
But more than that, after another glance at that devastatingly beautiful face, all doubts flew out of the window.
Yes, if she wasn’t the Moonlight Goddess, who else would be worthy?
“My goodness, I never imagined that in my lifetime, I would get to see a real goddess.”
“Me too, Mr. Yanben, can I humbly request this goddess to perform a piece for us? With that, I could die with no regrets.”
“Yes, yes, yes…”
Among the frenzy, these people even started to plead with Yanben with a sobbing tone.
Was the influence of their native Moonlight Goddess really that great?
Yanben reluctantly agreed.
And the R country lady named Nan Jiazi, seeing her companion’s consent, gently smiled at everyone.
Soon, under the focused gaze of all eyes, she gracefully approached the piano at the banquet wearing wooden clogs.
Seeing this, the official media broadcasting live immediately turned the camera onto her!
#Long-lost Moonlight Goddess Astonishingly Appears at Baiqing Building’s Evening Banquet#
#To Promote Cultural and Friendly Exchanges Between the Two Countries, R Country Diplomat Brings Forth Nation’s Retired Moonlight Goddess#
#Bombshell! R Country’s World-Famous Moonlight Goddess Suddenly Appears in Jiangbei#
…
Each headline was extremely eye-catching!
And once this broadcast appeared, nearly all media platforms exploded, even causing the servers to crash.
This woman was indeed a legend.
When Yin Xue saw this on her phone, on the spot, all her schemes seemed to be swept away like leaves in a wild wind by a sharp sword, and she nearly fainted from a combined rage and panic!
She had been defeated.
And it was a crushing defeat!
Chapter 87 Yin Hehe Never Rests Even in Death The light and lively notes, like a warm spring breeze played from the girl’s fingertips, at that moment, everyone standing in front of the television paused.
Music resonates with the soul.
And on this night, when people who had been tired all day could appreciate such joyous music after dinner, it was undoubtedly a delight. The pleasant sound of the piano was like pearls falling onto a jade plate, instantly transporting everyone to a world reminiscent of sunny March, with snow just melting and everything coming back to life…
Their chests filled with joy.
“Hehe is truly deserving of the title ‘Goddess of Moonlight,’ her playing is just more beautiful than others.”
“Of course, she used to play exclusively for the Royal Family of Country R.”
“We’re so fortunate…”
The entire internet was overflowing with praise for the girl from Country R.
Such acclaim had even caught the attention of the capital. Before long, the national media began broadcasting the banquet.
It truly became known across the nation!
“Mr. He, we just got a call from the Provincial City. They are very satisfied with your recent election campaign, especially tonight’s banquet.”
“Really?”
He Li, upon hearing the good news brought by his secretary, couldn’t stop grinning from ear to ear.
The secretary nodded, “Yes, it’s already been shared by the national media. The Provincial City will definitely take notice. Moreover, Mr. Lan just said that he can accompany you tomorrow with these two guests from Country R to the Provincial City, where his father will personally receive them.”
The secretary specifically mentioned Lan Yufeng, who was at the banquet at that moment.
He Li immediately turned to look.
But he noticed that this son of the Provincial City’s high-ranking officials was completely enraptured by the girl from Country R.
He stared intently, the astonishment and fervor in his gaze needed no doubt. It was as if the whole world was left with only this girl.
He Li was even more overjoyed.
“Go and call over the person in charge here, I want to reward them properly!” he finally said.
In an instant, Yin Beixiao and Jinse, who had been waiting outside, came in.
A few minutes later, good news came from Baiqing Building.
“Did you hear? Our Baiqing Building will not only stay open, it’s now the first official state banquet restaurant in Jiangbei.”
“Really?”
The employees in the building were ecstatic.
Jinse nodded, “And that’s not all. Mr. He has also given us Yuyuan Garden, which is right next to our Baiqing Building, to manage. He wants to make our Baiqing Building the most unique and historic royal garden restaurant in Jiangbei.”
!!!!!
As soon as these words were spoken, not just the employees, but everyone in the Yin Family jumped for joy.
Yuyuan Garden, that was something Baiqing Building had coveted for decades.
Because, originally, it was connected to Baiqing Building, having been the mansion of a prince. After a change of dynasty, the building and the garden came to be owned by different people.
So, for many years, the Yin Family had been trying to get back Yuyuan Garden.
They never imagined it would happen today.
The old patriarch himself came downstairs promptly and, upon seeing Yin Beixiao, did not hesitate to apologize to his great-grandson.
“Just now it was grandfather who was wrong, too anxious. Did it hurt?”
The old man asked with concern, looking at his great-grandson with bandages still on his head.
Yin Beixiao naturally wouldn’t make a fuss about it.
His parents had died early, and he grew up under the care of this old patriarch. Besides, he was genuinely concerned about Baiqing Building before.
“No.”
“That’s good. From this event, I’ve seen your capability. I’ll stop handling family affairs and in a meeting soon, I’ll transfer all my shares to you,” the patriarch decided on the spot.
In an instant, at those words, Jinse and others were of course filled with immense joy, but the family of Yin Rong, who had also come down, turned pale.
If even the shares were transferred, they’d have even less chance in the future.
“Elder, I…”
“No, Grandfather, I don’t want to manage it anymore. Look at what happened this time. Our Yin Family nearly destroyed Baiqing Building in the fight for power. If it weren’t for Hehe having made such a friend before her death, wouldn’t our Yin Family have been finished?”
Unexpectedly, just when Yin Rong, under the instigation of He Wanqiu, still wanted to struggle a bit in front of the old man.
Yin Beixiao actually refused.
The hall instantly fell into dead silence, and Yin Rong’s family turned ashen-faced upon hearing this.
Yin Xue was no exception.
“Yin Rong, get out here!”
Sure enough, after a few seconds of everyone barely daring to breathe, the old man began to roar.
In an instant, Yin Rong felt his legs go weak upon hearing it.
“Old… Old Master…”
“You listen well. From now on, you are forbidden from setting foot in Baiqing Building, and you will have nothing to do with it. If you don’t want to lose even the chance of getting your dividends, it would be best for you to stay quietly at home and be the good-for-nothings that you are!”
The old man’s veins were bulging with rage, and he stripped the family of their shares in Baiqing Building right there and then.
And, incidentally, he called them worthless in front of everyone.
Yin Rong completely collapsed.
He Wanqiu and Yin Xue, too, didn’t fare any better. Looking at the old man, white with rage, they thought of the person who caused their devastating defeat this time, their resentment so deep they could grind their teeth to dust.
Yin Hehe, you bitch!
Even in the Underworld, you can’t rest in peace. Fine, so eager to meddle in affairs, I will send a few you care about down there to keep things in order for you.
Let you know what the price is!
A venomous glint flickered in the woman’s eyes…
—
Shengfei Bay.
By the time Sheng Siyuan got home, it was almost eight o’clock.
And at this time, as he had been driving all the way, he had not seen the explosive dinner event at Baiqing Building.
Until he got home.
“What is he up to?”
As soon as he arrived, he saw a little guy had dragged a stool in front of the brightly lit villa’s TV.
He was quite surprised.
Aunt Ke was coming out with a plate of fruit, and seeing the young master had returned, she hurriedly explained with a smile, “The young master is watching TV.”
“?”
Watching TV?
This little rascal, when has he ever taken up this interest? From the day he was born, he’d never been seen spending time in front of the TV.
Sheng Siyuan walked over with his suit jacket in hand.
But he saw that on the big LED high-definition TV, a performance was playing: it appeared to be a woman in a kimono playing the piano.
Sheng Siyuan: “…”
After a few seconds of shock, he stretched out his foot and kicked the little rascal’s stool.
“What are you watching? Do you understand any of this stuff?”
“…”
A little face that looked very much like his turned back unhappily.
“That’s a fairy!” he cradled his little head, correcting in a very high and mighty manner, quite impatiently.
A fairy?
Now Sheng Siyuan was truly astonished by the little chap.
That word was truly outrageous.
Because, if he wasn’t mistaken, this little thing didn’t have such a rich vocabulary yet. For the usually silent and reserved kid, managing to say more than a few words was already impressive.
And now he had come up with such an outlandish term.
Finally, Sheng Siyuan’s gaze returned to the screen once more.
Chapter 88: President Sheng, Your Ex-Wife is Causing Trouble Again Sheng Siyuan looked at the screen again.
And with that look, he suddenly realized the scene on camera looked familiar.
“Young Master, you’re watching too, huh? This party is so lively tonight, it’s held by Cen Bao’s uncle’s family.”
“…”
One sentence made the man, who was intently watching the screen, squint his eyes abruptly.
It really was Baiqing Building.
So, this was the dying woman’s idea of turning the tide?
He finally felt a trace of interest.
He casually threw his suit jacket on the sofa and sat down with his legs crossed.
“Aunt Ke, make me some noodles.”
“Alright, Young Master.”
Aunt Ke cheerfully went into the kitchen.
So now, in this spacious living room, only the father and son were left, one sitting ramrod straight on a little stool.
The other was lounging carelessly on the couch, now holding a hand full of sunflower seeds.
Tsk…
If Lin Shuang were here, she’d probably be furious.
Two minutes later, as the R-country woman finished her piece and thunderous applause erupted from the TV, both father and son saw a young man, dressed as flamboyantly as a peacock, step forward with a bouquet of flowers.
“The renowned Moonlight Goddess, Miss Jiazi, may I invite you for a drink tonight?”
He approached the R-country woman, offered the flowers, and began to earnestly extend his invitation.
Lan Yufeng?
Sheng Siyuan recognized the man at a glance and immediately felt nauseated; he even lost his taste for the sunflower seeds.
What is this mess?
He lost interest in watching and stood up, ready to eat noodles.
“Mr. Lan, I’m sorry, but Miss Jiazi does not drink. She performs for the Royal Family of R-country and cannot touch alcohol.”
Just as he stood up, someone on TV saw Lan Yufeng’s action and was somewhat displeased, stepping forward to stop him.
The little guy had no reaction.
However, Sheng Siyuan, just stepping out of the sofa, stopped upon hearing this.
“What did he just say? Who is this woman?”
The lofty CEO finally took notice of this R-country woman.
The little guy turned his head and glared at his daddy, his face full of confusion.
“Goddess? Didn’t you hear?”
“…”
With just that, the man didn’t move again; his mind quickly flashed back to what he had investigated not long ago.
Yes, the Moonlight Goddess. He was investigating that damned woman and how she managed to turn into someone else right under his nose.
That’s when this character had appeared.
She was the creation of Meishan Qiandai, and it was this character who helped her regain control of the Meishan Family.
So, was this Moonlight Goddess real?
He paced back to the TV.
And this time, with this question in mind, his gaze fixed on the television screen like that of a sharp-eyed hawk.
“Where is that woman?”
“?”
The little guy frowned and looked at his daddy, utterly bewildered.
Sheng Siyuan could only patiently explain: “The nanny, have you seen her?”
He sounded very annoyed.
However, no sooner had he finished speaking than the little one in front of him pointed at the TV, his expression akin to looking at an idiot.
Sheng Siyuan: “…”
It really was her.
Had he been wrong? Did this woman actually manage to invite that R-country’s Royal Zither Master?
The man stood in the living room, his deep black eyes behind thin glasses fixed on the woman on the TV screen, dark and intense.
“Buzz… Buzz…”
Just then, the mobile phone on the coffee table began to vibrate.
He picked it up with a quick grab: “Hello?”
“President, it’s me, Chen Xiaosen. Have you seen the news? Just now, He Li announced that Baiqing Building has become the state banquet hotel.”
It turned out to be a call from Secretary Chen Xiaosen.
The man heard this, and his clarity didn’t fluctuate much.
“If he wants to announce it, let him do it. What’s the problem? Is there an issue?”
“No, Mr. President, our Mingzhu Hotel has always been applying for the state banquet hotel designation, the manager has mentioned it several times.”
Chen Xiaosen had no choice but to remind his boss when he heard such an indifferent tone.
Mingzhu Hotel is Shengshi’s largest five-star hotel and definitely qualifies to be a state banquet hotel.
So, the hotel was preparing to apply for it this year.
As a result…
Sheng Shiyuan finally understood, and all of a sudden, he finally asked on the phone, “So what did Baiqing Building do exactly? Just invited that R-country lady over?”
“No, it’s not that…” Chen Xiaosen hurriedly denied.
“They invited that R-country’s foreign minister, and this Moon Goddess was also brought by him. Mr. President, do you know whose masterpiece this grand move is?”
“Who?”
“Your… ex-wife. I heard that the R-country’s foreign minister is her friend!”
Chen Xiaosen was both angry and resentful as he relayed this information.
There was silence on the phone.
At this moment, the man on this end of the line, gripping a water glass between his slender fingers, squeezed it so hard that it made a creaking noise.
It was indeed her doing!
Hehe~~
He really wanted to know now, how exactly had this woman got to know these influential figures?
He hung up the phone, grabbed the suit jacket next to him, and walked out again.
As Aunt Ke brought out the cooked noodles just then, seeing him about to leave again, she quickly called out to him.
“Young Master, are you going out again? Aren’t you going to eat your noodles?”
“Just leave them…”
All he did was drop this line.
Soon, the man stepped back into the night with long strides.
—
Baiqing Building.
Yin Hehe, seeing that the banquet had been very successful, felt very tired and looked for Aunt Jinse.
“Aunt Jinse, I’m a bit tired, and I’d like to go back.”
“Ah?”
Still busy, Jinse Jinse was quite surprised to hear this.
“You’re going back? But… weren’t the guests your invitees? Then…”
What she actually meant was that tonight’s linchpin was this young assistant. If she left, how could they keep the event going?
However, Yin Hehe showed a very apologetic expression.
“You and Mr. Yin will have to entertain them for me, I’ve been up all day, and my feet hurt.”
She deliberately mentioned her feet.
Only then did Jinse Jinse look at the crutches she was leaning on and the still-bandaged feet.
Having no choice, she had to agree.
Not long after, Yin Hehe left, leaving only Jin Jinse and Yin Beixiao to maintain the mood at Baiqing Building.
Fortunately, it wasn’t too soon before Miss Nan Jiazi also suggested leaving.
“Yanben-kun, I want to go home.”
She stepped down from the stage and spoke to her companion in Japanese.
Jinse Jinse and Yin Beixiao didn’t quite understand Japanese, so at first, they didn’t understand until Lan Yufeng stood up right away.
“Miss Jiazi, are you leaving so soon? Our banquet hasn’t ended yet. There are still lots of exciting performances to come.”
This person, in an attempt to retain the R-country lady, even professed events that Baiqing Building hadn’t planned at all.
Jinse Jinse listened with some urgency.
But as the host, Yin Beixiao seconded, “Indeed, Baiqing Building has many more dishes to be served, Miss Nan Jiazi, why don’t you stay a while longer?”
“I’m sorry, I have some other matters to attend to.”
Unexpectedly, the R-country lady still insisted on refusing.
Seeing this, Yin Beixiao didn’t say anything further.
However, Lan Yufeng became anxious when he saw this.
“Before you leave, Miss Jiazi, may I invite you for a dance? I have been a fan of yours for three years now, and having finally met you, dancing with you would be the greatest dream of my life!”
He stepped forward, eager for a close encounter with the celestial beauty, making such an overt request.
Chapter 89: Jealousy Makes Him Unrecognizable! Miss Nan Jiazi’s face turned slightly unsightly on the spot.
As the Royal Family of Country R’s zither master, how could she casually dance with a man she didn’t know?
“Sorry, I…”
“Jiazi-san, if you want to escape quickly, it’s better to comply with his request. His background doesn’t seem small here,”
Just as she was about to refuse again, Yanben, standing beside her, suddenly reminded her in a low voice in Japanese.
The gist was that he thought Lan Yufeng might have a high status and, to get away, it would be better to agree first.
Miss Nan Jiazi then endured and kept silent.
Seeing her acquiescence, Lan Yufeng was immediately very pleased and made Yin Beixiao and Jinse clear the space on the spot.
This playboy, relying on his status, was truly doing whatever he wanted.
“Young master, Miss Nan Jiazi came because Xiaohan invited her. Now that Mr. Lan has forcefully kept her here, if Xiaohan finds out, will he be angry with us?”
While clearing the space, Jinse thought of Yin Hehe, who had already left, and couldn’t help expressing his concern.
As soon as he finished speaking, Yin Beixiao’s brows furrowed deeply.
“It’s just a dance, it should be fine. Don’t worry, as soon as the dance is over, I’ll send them back immediately.”
“Ah…”
In the end, Jinse could only sigh.
They really didn’t dare to mess around now, having just turned the situation around. If they upset this VIP from the Provincial City again, they probably wouldn’t have good consequences waiting for them.
So, the only thing to do was to keep an eye out for a while.
Jinse quickened his pace.
About ten minutes later, the space was finally cleared, the luxurious carpet removed, revealing a floor of white marble bricks with a history of hundreds of years. Under the dazzling lights above, it reflected as if it were a mirror.
“Ladies and gentlemen, tonight is a beautiful night, and everyone can join in.”
Lan Yufeng was quite satisfied with such a setting.
Thus, when he walked out, to show his gentlemanly grace, he not only invited Miss Nan Jiazi but encouraged everyone to revel with him.
The scene immediately boiled over.
Watching this unfold, Miss Nan Jiazi’s eyes darkened to the extreme.
She really wanted to leave right away, especially since standing for too long, the pain in her feet was already unbearable, and even the palms of her hands were breaking out in cold sweats.
She felt even worse.
“Hold on for two minutes, after two minutes, I will find an excuse to take you away.”
Luckily, her friend Yanben beside her, seeing her situation, immediately comforted her.
With that, she took a deep breath, steadied herself with tremendous willpower, and walked out slowly.
But what she didn’t know was that just as she took that step, a pair of eyes sharp as blades had already seized her through the crowd.
He was like a hawk.
After capturing all her subtle changes in the crowd, the inky black pupils behind those thin lenses finally rested on her wooden sandals, like a tsunami churning!
“Click—”
The crisp sound of fingers snapping was heard.
At this moment, Miss Nan Jiazi had reached the center of the dance floor, oblivious to all this.
“Miss Jiazi, please!”
In the midst of the elegant and cheerful music, Lan Yufeng, like a noble knight, approached this goddess of beauty and knelt down, extending his hand.
“Wow~~~~”
In an instant, everyone around who saw this gasped.
The entire venue erupted in screams!
“Mr. Lan is actually giving such high respect to Miss Nan Jiazi. My God, how much does he like her?”
“Of course, he must like her. A talented man and a beautiful woman attract each other naturally.”
“Together, together…”
As people talked, they even started to egg them on.
Seeing this, Lan Yufeng was exceedingly smug. He maintained that pose, waiting for the beautiful lady to respond to him.
He’s a high-ranking official’s child from the Provincial City; in this world, there hasn’t been a woman who has rejected him yet.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Lan, I suddenly feel a bit unwell.”
Unexpectedly, Nan Jiazi changed her mind when she saw how this person had made such a public scene that she had no way to gracefully exit.
Her pretty face turned cold as she bluntly refused.
Lan Yufeng, taken aback, eventually realized what was happening. Still half-kneeling, he looked around at the waiting crowd, a hint of annoyance creeping in.
“Miss Jiazi, what did you just say? I didn’t catch that.”
“I…”
“Miss Jiazi, the event is being live-streamed. I’ve extended such high courtesies to you. Tell me, if you refuse, what kind of consequences will that have, do you think?”
He didn’t want to embarrass himself and was eager to steal a kiss.
So he began to make threats.
What would happen if word got out?
Of course, she would be branded as lacking manners, and this might even affect diplomatic relations between the two nations, potentially implicating Lord Yanben as well.
Nan Jiazi’s chest heaved with anger.
“You—”
“So, Miss Jiazi, I think it’s better for both of us to happily complete this dance,” he said.
After speaking, he extended his hand again.
And this time, he leaned forward so much that he was nearly touching Nan Jiazi’s kimono.
Nan Jiazi: “!!!!”
Just when her lips had turned pale, and she was about to submit humiliatingly,
suddenly, a figure appeared from the crowd.
“Lan Yufeng, you sure are bold. On my turf, Sheng Siyuan’s, you dare to be so presumptuous. Have you forgotten the reminder I gave you this afternoon?”
He sauntered over, his voice carrying an overpowering oppressive tone. After he had finished speaking, the next second, he lashed out a fierce kick.
“Thud!”
“Ah—”
In an instant, the entire tower erupted with shocked screams as Lan Yufeng was firmly knocked to the ground.
My God!
Was that even believable? That a high-ranking official’s son from the Provincial City would be kicked just like that?
Everyone was stupefied!
Even Nan Jiazi, after witnessing this scene, was left speechless with her amber eyes widened, staring blankly at the noble and lofty man for a long time.
Her heart pounded fiercely.
“Sheng Siyuan, you dare lay a hand on me? Are you looking for death?”
In the midst of chaos, Lan Yufeng finally came to his senses, and instantly, he sprang up from the ground, glaring at the protagonist with wide, furious eyes.
His body radiated a murderous aura!
But would Sheng Siyuan be afraid of him?
After kicking the man, he felt a little better and casually brushed the dust from his trouser legs, as if that kick had dirtied him somewhat.
“What are you? Daring to invite her to dance with you?”
This man, with his hands casually stuffed in the pockets of his dress pants, stood nonchalantly in front of him, and his perfect, thin lips exuded nothing but disdain!
Lan Yufeng’s face went green in an instant.
“I’m a high-ranking official from the Provincial City, why wouldn’t I be qualified?”
“A high-ranking official is nothing! She is from the Royal Family of R country. Do you know what level of protocol is required here? Even if it were a high-ranking diplomat, or those before, do you match up? Even if your father came, he wouldn’t be worthy to carry her shoes!”
Coldness churned in the man’s eyes, his gaze sharp, his voice laden with intense mockery and disdain.
In just a few words, Lan Yufeng’s entire face turned red and he was left speechless.
And so was Nan Jiazi…
Chapter 90: This Thing Called Ex-Husband “Sheng Siyuan, you’ve denigrated me as worthless, but what about you? Do you have any right?”
After pausing for well over a minute, Lan Yufeng finally stood there, burning with shame and anger, posing the question.
As soon as the words left his mouth, he saw the man standing there, dragging out his laughter.
“What do you think? I have invested upwards of tens of trillions in their R-country; do you think I have the right?”
He suddenly took a step forward, his tall figure closing in on Nan Jiazi who was standing right there.
Nan Jiazi’s pupils dilated in shock in an instant!
“Back then, even the royals themselves regarded me as an honored guest. Now, a mere zither master performing for the R-country’s royal family, what is that worth?”
His cold lips slowly uttered these words, and the next second, two piercing gazes that were making Nan Jiazi’s scalp tingle suddenly narrowed…
“Ah—”
Nan Jiazi let out a startled scream.
She couldn’t believe what she was seeing — this man who had suddenly pulled her in, it was as if her brain had been struck by lightning, her pupils shaking violently!
What was he doing?
Had he gone mad?
The crowd that had been watching around them were also left dumbfounded, unable to utter a word as they stared at the audacious president of Shengshi Group.
He was truly a president, daring in ways that others weren’t!
“You… what are you doing? Don’t be reckless,” Nan Jiazi stuttered in fright, now in the man’s arms.
Upon hearing this, the man holding her, his eyes darkening with a sudden surge of anger, mocked mercilessly, “Me being reckless? Miss Nan Jiazi, who exactly was seducing whom just now?”
“What did you say?”
Nan Jiazi was stunned for a moment.
“Who was seducing? What nonsense are you spouting?”
“Isn’t it so? If you weren’t flaunting yourself here, would that Lan guy have lost his mind to lust?”
“!!!!!”
Those words were truly venomous.
In an instant, the faint glimmer of delight that had risen in Nan Jiazi’s heart vanished without a trace, leaving her trembling with rage.
Even Lan Yufeng, not too far away, had his entire face turning purple with fury.
“Sheng Siyuan! Do you really wish for death? You—”
“Clang!”
A terrifying crash!
At the banquet scene, something suddenly flew overhead, and in a flash, they saw Lan Yufeng, who had been cursing wildly, fall to the ground without even a groan.
Shards of broken glass lay scattered around.
My God!
Everyone was stunned once again.
And Nan Jiazi stood there, transfixed, looking at this man emanating uncontrolled violence; her fingers trembled with cold for a long time.
He was a devil, too frightening!
Before long, Lan Yufeng was carried out, and in the eerily quiet hall where you could hear a pin drop, everyone thought the president of Shengshi Group would now take his time to enjoy himself with the beauty in his arms.
But that was not the case.
No sooner had the man been dragged away than a wave of disgust rose from the depths of his eyes.
“Ah—”
Another scream.
Had Mr. Yanben not rushed forward to catch her immediately,
Nan Jiazi might have fallen to the ground on the spot.
“Mr. Sheng, you—”
“Carry on!”
The man, whose expression had returned to one of indifference, pulled out a white handkerchief, wiped his hands, and dropped this sentence indifferently.
Yanben: “…”
Nan Jiazi: “…”
Gazing at the man who didn’t even deem it fit to give her a second glance, she, who had just steadied herself, clenched her pale white fingers tightly within her palm.
However, that wasn’t the most important part.
Because right after he threw the handkerchief on the ground and stepped into the crowd, she saw him tear off his suit jacket as well.
Casually, he tossed it away!
Nan Jiazi: “…”
Even after the man had vanished through the door, her body shivered slightly, and her fingers dug into her palm until they bled.
“Lan, are you alright? I know something about your ex-husband’s temper. Back when he was in R country, he didn’t even take our Royal Family seriously. But tonight, he actually came out to help you out of this awkward situation. I think he’s not a bad person. Did he recognize you?”
Yanben asked her, noticing her distressed expression.
Indeed, this Nan Jiazi was actually Yin Hehe herself. In an attempt to salvage the situation, she ultimately chose to disguise herself as the Moonlight Goddess again.
Yet, the result was what had just happened.
Yin Hehe closed her eyes, and after a while, she shook her pale face gently, “No, he was probably helping Baiqing Building.”
“Baiqing Building?”
“Yes, he knew I was going to take action tonight to save my brother, so he stepped out, probably to prevent Lan Yufeng from complicating matters further.”
She explained with patience.
But in truth, as the words left her mouth, she felt even more powerless at heart.
Indeed, the real reason for that man’s appearance was probably to chase away Lan Yufeng, the troublemaker, and maybe he did it for the sake of her, his former nanny.
Or perhaps, it was for the sake of his son, Cen Bao.
But did he have to humiliate her like that after helping her, calling her a seductress, flaunting her charms…
Even if he didn’t recognize her now, didn’t he have any respect for a friend from R country? Or, was this behavior because those people were introduced by his ex-wife?
Yin Hehe’s mind flashed back to the scene where the man discarded his handkerchief and suit jacket, that unmasked disgust and hatred as if she were a plague.
She almost bit her teeth till they bled.
“Lan?”
“Lord Yanben, let’s go.”
In the end, Yin Hehe took a deep breath and slowly opened her eyes.
Yanben immediately nodded.
He assisted her and approached the man named He Li.
“Mr. He, we will take our leave now.”
“Ah?”
He Li, who was in the midst of explaining the situation with Lan Yufeng to the Provincial City side, became even more anxious upon hearing that the R country envoy wanted to leave.
“Mr. Yanben, please stay a bit longer. I’ve asked the staff to prepare more dishes, let’s have another drink.”
“No more drinks, Mr. He,” Yanben refused.
“Jiazi has been rather startled tonight and is tired. I need to take her back to rest as soon as possible.”
He purposefully glanced at Yin Hehe, whom he was supporting.
In fact, Yin Hehe wasn’t that tired, but her feet really hurt so much she could barely stand, so she took the opportunity to lean on her good friend.
“I see.”
Upon hearing this, He Li knew that convincing them to stay would be futile.
Soon, the two reached the door.
At that moment, Yin Beixiao, having heard the news and as the owner of Baiqing Building, hurried over.
“Mr. Yanben, Miss Jiazi, I apologize sincerely. I was unable to stop this incident in time tonight and caused Miss Jiazi to feel aggrieved.”
He looked at Yin Hehe with regret and guilt.
Yin Hehe paused for a moment, then slowly turned around to look at her brother.
“It’s alright, it’s not your fault.”
“No, what the two of you may not know is that the president of Shengshi Group… is actually my former brother-in-law. I had no idea he would suddenly be so rude to Miss Jiazi. That bastard, I apologize on his behalf.”
Yin Beixiao spoke with a mix of anger and shame.
