Mo Shiyun didn’t want to have any more encounters with Jian Yiling.
Today, she only wanted to accompany Mrs. Qian at the banquet. She wanted to avoid Jian Yiling as much as she could.
And thus, Mo Shiyun withdrew her gaze from Jian Yiling. She smiled at the ladies in front of her.
Mo Shiyun’s conduct was natural, unrestrained, and polite. Furthermore, with Mrs. Qian speaking for her, everyone she spoke to had a good impression of her.
Soon after, the key individual of the day arrived in front of the crowd. This person was Qin Chuan.
Qin Chuan was dressed in a light grey suit. The way he dressed up made him look like an elite in the business world. Everyone at the banquet couldn’t help but exclaim in their hearts that although Qin Chuan was an illegitimate son, he still had the looks and presence of an aristocrat. It was true that dragons gave birth to dragons and phoenixes gave birth to phoenixes. Even though Qin Chuan didn’t grow up in the Qin family, he still appeared quite capable.
There was also a young yet capable woman that accompanied Qin Chuan.
She was dressed stylishly and looked incredibly elegant.
After being introduced, it was revealed that this young woman was none other than Qin Yufan. She was Qin Chuan’s half-sister and the only daughter of the Qin family in the capital.
This year, Qin Yufan was eighteen years old. She was only one year younger than Qin Chuan.
In terms of birth and appearance, she could be considered the best of the best.
And thus, the crowd’s curiosity grew.
If Qin Chuan didn’t exist, then Qin Yufan would be the only heir to the Qin family.
However, now that Qin Chuan appeared out of nowhere, he took away her position as the heir. If one were to look at the situation, they would assume that Qin Chuan and Qin Yufan were enemies.
However, today, she had accompanied Qin Chuan to the banquet. It appeared as though she was officially recognizing him as a member of the Qin family.
The moment Qin Yufan appeared, everyone’s attention was drawn to her.
They, the ordinary aristocrats of Hengyuan City, could not be compared to the Qin family from the capital.
In front of Qin Yufan, the ladies from Hengyuan City could only be seen as ordinary people.
Jian Yiling was also no match for Qin Yufan. She was only a little princess in Hengyuan City.
The crowd’s commotion made Jian Yiling notice Qin Yufan.
She knew of Qin Yufan as she had read the original novel. Qin Yufan played a bigger role in the original novel than she did.
Strictly speaking, Qin Yufan was also the villain of the original novel.
Whilst everyone’s attention was on Qin Yufan and Qin Chuan, another guest arrived.
It was Zhai Yunsheng and Yu Xi.
As soon as Zhai Yunsheng appeared, more commotion erupted from the crowd.
As the Qin family hosted a banquet in Hengyuan City, one of the first people that they delivered the invitation to was Zhai Yunsheng.
Other than the Zhai family, the Qin family didn’t really pay regards to any other family in Hengyuan City.
Only the Zhai family was roughly comparable to the Qin family. And thus, they had to be invited to the banquet.
As soon as Zhai Yunsheng entered the room, half of the attention was diverted from Qin Chuan and Qin Yufan.
This man was way too dazzling.
Zhai Yunsheng was still dressed casually today. He had his hands in his trouser pockets.
However, unlike Qin Chuan’s upright and righteous aura, Zhai Yunsheng gave off a strange feeling. It felt as though he was both good and evil.
Qin Yufan’s eyes lingered on Zhai Yunsheng as soon as he appeared. Then, her eyes never left him.
She had liked Zhai Yunsheng for a long time. This time, she came to Hengyuan City for Zhai Yunsheng and not for her half-brother.
Yu Xi was the first out of the two to find Jian Yiling in the corner of the banquet. He started to walk towards her without thinking.
When Zhai Yunsheng saw Yu Xi walk towards Jian Yiling, he also followed him without delay.
The two of them had just reached Jian Yiling when Qin Yufan had also walked over.
