"Miss Luo is too polite, those are just othersâ flattery."
Liu Shiyun spoke with a soft tone, her conversation laced with sophistication.
"Well, there are so many of us here, letâs find a place to sit down, eat some food, and have a few drinks. Itâll be great."
Ye Luo said directly to the group of women, and then, under the envious gazes of everyone at the party, she led the four stunning beauties to a sofa nearby and began to eat.
There were not many top beauties at the entire party, and there Ye Luo was, a young lad accompanied by four of them, instantly drawing jealous and envious glances from many young men at the scene. They were all speculating about Ye Luoâs identityâhaving not one but four such beauties, including the two Misses of the Liu Family, definitely meant he was no ordinary person.
"Isnât that guy the worthless young master of the Ye Family?"
"Damn him!"
At that moment, a young man in the distance was staring at Ye Luo, particularly at Nie Wenling sitting beside him, his eyes revealing a cold light. He was the same Lu Qing who had green hair and raced cars with Nie Wenling.
"Master Lu, havenât you been pursuing Nie Wenling? How come sheâs sitting with another man?"
The young chaps around Lu Qing couldnât help but speak up.
"Eh, that guy looks kind of familiar. Oh right, isnât he the good-for-nothing heir of the Ye Family? Whatâs he doing here?"
Another young chap looked at Ye Luo with a hint of surprise crossing his features.
"The heir of the Ye Family? Are you talking about the same heir from the forty years ago, from the Ye Family among Zhonghaiâs four great families?"
Lu Qingâs gaze turned to the chap beside him.
"Exactly, I saw him at an entertainment club before the Ye Family fell from grace. Since his parents disappeared and the Ye Family fell, I havenât seen this guy around anymore. I didnât expect to see him here," the young chap nodded in confirmation.
"Tch, just a spoiled young master from a fallen family, daring to compete with the proud young master of the Lu Corporation for a woman. He really is asking for trouble."
Another young man near Lu Qing coldly sneered.
"Letâs go! Letâs meet this Ye Family heir."
After taking a sip of his drink, Lu Qing immediately headed towards Ye Luo and the others.
"Yo, isnât this our Mr. Ye, the heir of the Ye Family? I heard that after your familyâs downfall, you disappeared. I thought you couldnât handle the setback and were too ashamed to show your face. Who would have thought you were still around?"
Lu Qing, accompanied by his entourage, arrived in front of Ye Luo, and one of the chaps looked at Ye Luo with a mocking smile.
"Are you sick or something, Lu Qing? What do you want?"
Nie Wenling frowned as she looked at Lu Qing.
"Wenling, the Ye Family has already declined, and this guy is nothing but an ignorant and wasteful heir. Now that the Ye Family is no more, heâs utterly unworthy of you."
Lu Qing pointed at Ye Luo, his face cold as ice.
"What does that have to do with you? I donât need you to meddle in my affairs," Nie Wenling retorted bluntly.
"Kid, youâd better stay away from Wenling or else..."
"Or else what? What ideas do you have?"
Ye Luo looked at the other party with a hint of a devilish smile on his lips. Then, he unabashedly wrapped his arm around Nie Wenling, his eyes challenging as he gazed at Lu Qing.
Watching Ye Luo wrap his arm around Nie Wenling right in front of him, Lu Qingâs face turned ashen, his eyes flickering with a sinister light. He was on the verge of losing his patience and lashing out.
"Why get so worked up, Master Lu?"
A soft voice rang in Lu Qingâs ear. He abruptly turned and saw a woman in a red long dress approaching, exuding a majestic and elegant air, her charming face adorned with a teasing smile and her red lips slightly curved.
"Miss Situ!"
Looking at the woman approaching, Lu Qingâs face immediately changed, and he called out with a hint of respect.
This woman, clad in a long red dress and radiating a powerful aura, was none other than Situ Luoyun, whom Ye Luo had met earlier in the lingerie store and who Yan Ling referred to as Zhu Yeqing, the boss of the entire Northern District.
"Young Master Lu, tonight is a time for joy, letâs not get angry easily, shall we?"
Situ Luoyun said indifferently to Lu Qing as she watched him.
"Miss Situ is right, letâs go," Lu Qing nodded, a shadow flickering in his eyes as he quickly left the place with his brothers.
"Little guy, we meet again."
Situ Luoyun, looking at Ye Luo with her lips slightly pursed, laughed with a seductive smile, a hint of intrigue flashing in her phoenix eyes.
"Beauty, we really do have fate, meeting here again. Have you decided to let me help you with your treatment?"
Ye Luo stood up and walked over to Situ Luoyun, genuinely not forgetting about the cancer cells in her body.
"Then I wonder if you have time to come to my villa tonight for a visit?"
Situ Luoyun leaned slightly forward, whispering enticingly into Ye Luoâs ear, her voice stirring oneâs soul.
"I always accept an invitation from a beauty," Ye Luo said with a smile on his lips.
"Then itâs settled, Iâll wait for you outside the hotel after the party," Situ Luoyun said, turning around and leaving.
"Another beauty, huh!"
Watching the retreating figure of Situ Luoyun, Ye Luoâs lips curved up slightly.
This woman, like Yan Ling, fascinated in her own right, gave Ye Luo a different feeling, unlike any other woman heâd met before.
And with Ye Luoâs perception, he could tell that Situ Luoyun was actually quite nervous when facing him, not as composed as she appeared. A woman who feels nervous around a man must be interested in him, right?
Ye Luo didnât care if his logic was somewhat far-fetched; he was content to think whatever made him happy.
However, when Ye Luo returned to his seat, he was greeted by the stares of four women, with Nie Wenling and Liu Xiner both fixing their large eyes firmly on Ye Luo.
"How do you know Situ Luoyun? And you two seem quite close, donât you?"
Liu Shiyun asked softly, looking at Ye Luo.
"Could it be that my beautiful sister is getting jealous? You havenât fallen for me, have you?"
Ye Luo teased, with a playful smile and a wink.
Blushing, Liu Shiyunâs face turned red, her eyes revealing a shy expression, she retorted, "Stop talking nonsense; I just want to warn you that Situ Luoyun is not an ordinary woman. Itâs best if you donât get too close to her, otherwise something bad might happen."
"Why does everyone say that? Itâs just the nickname Zhu Yeqing," Ye Luo said with a shrug.
"You know?"
Liu Shiyun looked at him with a surprised expression.
"Rest assured, what if sheâs Zhu Yeqing? Iâm immune to all poisons. I think in this world, only women fear men, I havenât heard of men fearing women." Ye Luo said with satisfaction.
"Look, look, Ling Qingya is here!"
"The Young Miss of the Ling Family is finally arriving!"
