Originally, He Jinsong thought that with the appearance of the White Rose, he could turn the tables. However, the moment Qin Rumeng appeared and spoke, He Jinsong knew he had hit a brick wall and provoked someone he couldn't afford to mess with!
Now the entire capital, and even most of Huaxia, knows that the Qin family has a nephew named Ye Xunhuan, who is the son of Qin Fenghuang.
Now that Qin Rumeng called Qiu Ruoxi her niece-in-law, it's clear to him he's messed with Ye Xunhuan.
A man who killed Yan Qingdi.
Moreover, now that someone from the White Rose has been told to bring over a knife, it's clear they intend to take action against him!
At this moment, He Jinsong panicked, filled with fear inside.
The White Rose stared at He Jinsong expressionlessly, as if she hadn't heard his pleas at all.
Quickly, someone brought a dagger to the White Rose.
In the banquet hall, everyone turned pale at the sight, suspecting the White Rose intended to kill He Jinsong.
Those who were eagerly waiting to watch the show, Xiao Boyang and Fu Xinyue, looked not just disappointed but incredulous.
The cold dagger shimmered chillingly under the light.
He Jinsong's panda-like eyes, bruised by Ye Xunhuan, trembled uncontrollably like a sieve upon seeing the dagger in the White Rose's hand: "No... don't..."
"He Jinsong, although your father asked me to look after you, some people are beyond your reach, and you'll pay the price for meddling!"
As the words fell, the White Rose moved, her left hand suddenly reaching out to grab He Jinsong's right hand, while the dagger in her right hand flashed like a meteor!
The sound of the blade cutting into bone and the wailing sounded almost simultaneously.
The next moment, four bloody fingers lay on the ground, along with a scarlet pool of blood, a shocking sight.
As the saying goes, fingers are connected to the heart; with four fingers severed by the White Rose, He Jinsong broke into a cold sweat, convulsing as if in an epileptic fit.
Seeing the White Rose's action, Ye Xunhuan's face showed a look of approval.
This woman was the same as back then, ruthless with her hands, swift and deadly, and all her murderous skills were practically taught by Ye Xunhuan!
After cutting off He Jinsong's four fingers with one swift move, the White Rose casually tossed the dagger to the ground, ignoring the writhing He Jinsong. She turned to Mo Jie and said, "Clean it up and carry him out!"
Everyone in the banquet hall watched the calm White Rose, their hearts filled with chill.
This woman was indeed as ruthless and decisive as rumored, with lightning-fast reflexes and agility.
The White Rose then turned to Qin Rumeng and Ye Xunhuan: "Are you satisfied with how I handled it?"
"Let's leave it at that," Qin Rumeng said blandly.
Afterwards, He Jinsong was dragged out like a dead dog, along with the blood and fingers on the ground cleaned up.
"Everyone, I, the White Rose, did not invite you here to cause trouble or seek women!" the White Rose said coldly, scanning the crowd: "If you can't control yourselves, don't come to my banquets in the future!"
"Of course, if there's mutual interest, leave and explore life elsewhere, not here."
"And, today's incident is the first and last time. Anyone who dares do this again will forever lose the privilege of being a man!" the White Rose declared coldly, "If you don't believe it, go ahead and try it!"
At this moment, because of Ye Xunhuan, the White Rose laid down a new rule at her banquet in the capital!
A rule targeted at men.
Upon hearing the White Rose's words, no one found it inappropriate. After all, not everyone was as reckless as He Jinsong.
Moreover, they came here to solidify their connections and expand their network.
As for women, although many were interested, those invited by the White Rose surely had complicated backgrounds.
Being shameless would be pointless and likely cause trouble.
So, most people were indifferent to the new rule set by the White Rose.
"Now, everything will proceed as usual, enjoy yourselves and don't let the earlier events dampen your spirits!"
As the White Rose finished speaking, elegant and melodious piano music suddenly filled the air.
As the piano resounded, the banquet hall returned to its previous state, with groups chatting in clusters, and some approaching the White Rose to engage in conversation.
As if the incident with He Jinsong had never occurred.
But could it really have never happened?
He was a member of the Southeast He family, and now with four fingers severed by the White Rose, would the He family let it go?
At the same time, everyone was speculating about the White Rose's motive—was she trying to curry favor with the Qin family?
Some were happy, others were troubled. The most troubled at the moment were Xiao Boyang and Chu Xinyue.
They thought they could enjoy a good show, but who knew the assertive White Rose would swallow her pride?
"Boyang, this is unlike the White Rose's style..."
"I know!" Xiao Boyang said, contemplating, "Could it be that Qin Wenxuan is courting the White Rose, and she's marrying into the Qin family?"
Xiao Boyang was puzzled, and so was Qin Wenxuan.
He couldn't understand what the White Rose was aiming for!
Ignoring the countless speculations, the White Rose, holding a goblet, slowly approached Qiu Ruoxi and Ye Xunhuan.
"Young Master Ye!" the White Rose greeted Ye Xunhuan with a smile, "Your wife is truly beautiful!"
Hearing the White Rose's compliment, Ye Xunhuan chuckled softly, "Miss Bai, likewise."
Ye Xunhuan then introduced, "Wife, this is the White Rose..."
"Hello!" The White Rose politely lifted her goblet to clink lightly with Qiu Ruoxi's, as a greeting, "The last time I saw Young Master Ye in the capital, he mentioned he had a wife. I wondered who could win over Young Master Ye!"
"Now that I've met you, I finally understand the phrase 'a hero is no match for a beautiful woman!'"
"Miss Bai, you're too kind; what beauty am I compared to you!"
Meanwhile, in the Yan Jing Hotel parking lot, over a dozen men with cold expressions and cruel intent in their eyes were gathered.
The leader slowly pulled a photo out of his pocket.
The people in the photo were none other than Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi!
"Remember, our targets are them!"
