Chapter 744: Chapter 640: Extra Story: First Encounter
After returning to Beijing, Qi Xingzhou, as the second young master of the Qi Family, inevitably had to be taken out by Qi Jingshan and Qi Chen to attend some social events and show his face.
Even if Qi Xingzhou had no intention of inheriting the family business, the status and wealth belonging to him in the Qi Family would never change.
The emotional and cognitive part that Qi Xingzhou had previously been missing was completed after he met Jiang Ning. Now, apart from being somewhat stubborn in personality, he’s no different from ordinary people.
When he appeared in public in a bespoke suit, standing tall, his exceptional aura shone brilliantly, and even when standing next to his father and brother, his radiance was undiminished.
However, since he rarely appeared in high society circles, inevitably, some people would be attracted by his outstanding appearance, unaware of his identity.
Qi Jingshan and Qi Chen only brought Qi Xingzhou to one event, then chose to step back.
After all, Qi Xingzhou was already an adult about to get married, not a kindergarten kid, and should handle things independently.
Qi Chen intentionally wanted to train Qi Xingzhou’s social skills, handing over several events that he and Father Qi had planned to attend. Original content can be found at novelꜰire.net
Though Qi Xingzhou was somewhat averse to socializing, he still went.
A glamorous noblewoman holding a wine glass let her gaze linger on Qi Xingzhou.
She had noticed him as soon as she entered. Amidst the crowded banquet, he sat alone in a corner playing on his phone, seemingly chatting with someone on the other end.
Even with just a side view, Tian Liang couldn’t help but be attracted to his outstanding appearance and cool, clean aura.
Among the more than ten lovers she had kept, none had ever hooked her with just one glance.
Another noblewoman accompanying her noticed her reaction and quickly understood: “Sister Tian, have you taken a liking?”
Tian Liang slightly curled her red lips, unabashedly showing her interest: “Not bad looking.”
Upon hearing this, the other noblewoman’s eyes flickered with disdain.
Tian Liang, originally just an eighteenth-line actress in the entertainment industry, was favored by the then richest man in A City because of her good looks.
No one knew what means she used, but she actually made the richest man abandon his wife and children, divorce them, and marry her.
In her twenties, she married an over-sixty-year-old man on his second marriage.
This event even hit the entertainment headlines at the time.
A few years later, the richest man died unexpectedly, and Tian Liang inherited most of his fortune, becoming a famous charming widow in the circle.
In these more than ten years, although Tian Liang never remarried, she lived a carefree life with her deceased husband’s inheritance.
Everyone in the circle knew about her chaotic private life and her fondness for keeping young, fair-skinned men.
She was very familiar with the look in Tian Liang’s eyes.
But following Tian Liang’s gaze and realizing whom she was looking at, the noblewoman’s eyes also flashed with amazement.
No wonder Tian Liang couldn’t move after seeing him; his looks indeed had such an allure.
However, with the little bit of plastic friendship between them, she couldn’t help but give a reminder: “This person doesn’t seem to be raised in an ordinary family.”
“He’s good-looking, so of course, he looks good in anything.” Tian Liang was indifferent, having indulged in her desires for many years, left her mind full of frivolous thoughts.
Having moved to Capital City for five or six years, attending countless large and small gatherings, she already knew whom not to provoke.
The young man in the corner was not within her range of familiarity.
Moreover, no matter how luxurious the banquet was, it was essentially a trade of fame and fortune.
Even if something else happened, it would be tacitly understood.
Tian Liang’s meticulously maintained face showed confidence as she confidently walked towards him in high heels.
The accompanying noblewoman saw her manner and shook her head discreetly. Tian Liang used to only keep university students or male models, but in recent years, her behavior had become more indulgent, bound to backfire eventually.
Qi Xingzhou sat in an inconspicuous corner, lowering his head and sweet-talking to Jiang Ning on WeChat. After receiving a reply, his dark eyes were full of laughter.
[This banquet is so boring. I’ll leave when Qin Feng comes out.]
He focused on typing.
A figure approached, with a sugary voice: “Hey handsome, why are you here alone? Who brought you here? Interested in having a drink?”
Qi Xingzhou frowned and looked up.
His elegant and exquisite facial features were fully exposed under the bright lights, causing Tian Liang, who approached for a flirt, to catch her breath slightly.
Qi Xingzhou disliked the way this person looked at him and coldly uttered, “Scram.”
