Chapter 331: Deserve to Be Alone until the End!_1
“Never underestimate anyone. Even though I don’t know their motives, I still have to attend Beichuan’s banquet tonight.”
Ye Qilan glanced at Age, “Isn’t this what you wanted too?”
Age felt a bit guilty since it was he who deliberately left yesterday’s evening paper for Ye Qilan to see the news about Su Hongxing’s impending marriage with Beichuan.
What he hadn’t expected was that besides him, there was someone else eyeing Ye Qilan and sent the letter to The Red House.
Wouldn’t that imply that someone has discovered the secret of The Red House, Ye Qilan’s hideout?
“I just think Miss Su is excellent and quite a match for you,” Age said somewhat sheepishly.
If Ye Qilan misses Su Hongxing, Age thinks it’d be a big pity.
“No matter how good, it’s useless. That woman is a calamity. Without her, the Ye Family would have been mine.” The mention of Su Hongxing caused Ye Qilan’s heart to ache.
“Lugang Industry has already grown big, sir. Why are you so obsessed with the Ye Family?” Age has always been puzzled.
This question stumped Ye Qilan. How was he to tell Age that his goal since childhood was to be the leader of the Ye Family?
The Ye Family has become his obsession.
An hour later, Ye Qilan appeared at the banquet.
He was dressed in a black suit, with sharp features and an aloof and noble demeanor. His presence commanded attention. Arriving without a lady on his arm, he immediately attracted the gaze of all the women in the room.
Ye Si’s reputation was well-known in high society, add that to his charm and attractiveness, he was naturally the target of ladies’ pursuits.
The scandal of the runaway groom a few days ago had once put Ye Qilan in the spotlight.
Now his appearance stirred the women again, they regarded him as a prime target.
In the past, Ye Qilan was open to all comers, if he fancied a woman, he would keep her.
But standing among the crowd of women now, he was indifferent, no matter how beautiful the woman was, he didn’t have the interest to take a second look.
“Ex-brother-in-law!” A soft and melodious woman’s voice broke his train of thought.
He looked at the young girl in front of him, his gaze fixed on her familiar and charming smile.
This was Su Hongxing’s sudden younger sister, Liu Qingyin.
“Ex-brother-in-law, are you here early to toast my sister and my new brother-in-law?” Liu Qingyin asked with a big smile.
Ye Qilan glanced at the young girl and asked, “How old are you?”
Liu Qingyin looked a lot like Su Hongxing, and even had a more radiant smile.
“I’ll turn seventeen next January. You’re not falling for me, are you? Let me tell you, I’m not of age yet, so don’t mistake me for my sister,” Liu Qingyin jabbered away.
Just then, there was a stir in the banquet hall. Liu Qingyin looked in that direction and gasped, “Such a handsome man and beautiful woman, they’re a perfect match.”
Ye Qilan’s gaze passed over everyone and locked onto Su Hongxing’s face.
She was still the same, calm as water. Even in such a bustling and lively space, she was the most unique presence.
Ye Qilan put his hand over his heart. It was beating too fast, leaving him in a daze.
“My sister looks so beautiful! The man who marries her is truly lucky. Some people just lack insight, they had the chance to marry my sister but didn’t appreciate it and deserve to be lonely forever!” Liu Qingyin insinuated.
Ye Qilan kept looking at Su Hongxing as if he hadn’t heard Liu Qingyin’s words.
“My sister and my brother-in-law are so in love, they’re sweet as honey all the time. This morning I accidentally saw my brother-in-law kissing my sister, it was so passionate…”
Put yourself in Su Su’s shoes, would you keep the baby?!
