Chapter 549: Chapter 548: Ji Baijian is So Angry He Could Explode (Third Update)
The grand banquet hall.
The beauty of Song Zhizhi stunned the entire room.
Song Zhidao walked over from not too far away, “Sister, you’re here.”
Song Zhizhi looked back.
She shifted her gaze from Jun Minghan’s line of sight at that moment, giving a slight smile to Song Zhidao, “Yes.”
“I just got here, too. I came with Jun Mingxi.”
Song Zhizhi nodded slightly.
Song Zhidao scrutinized his sister’s outfit at that moment, “Don’t you think you are a bit... overly exposed?”
Song Zhizhi just smiled, “That’s intentional.”
“Who are you trying to seduce?”
“Guess.”
“Sister...”
“I’m going to have a look around.” Song Zhizhi cut off Song Zhidao directly, striding off in her high heels.
Song Zhidao looked at his sister’s retreating figure.
He felt his sister’s change was somewhat significant.
Had she finally seen the harsh truth of this world, that no one but herself can be relied upon? Is that why she has suddenly become so pro-active!
He saw his sister holding a glass of red wine, making her way towards Jun Minghan.
The gaze that Jun Minghan had averted was once again firmly captured by Song Zhizhi.
Alluring was an understatement for her attire tonight.
With just one look, it seemed as though the entire banquet hall was her stage. Such a provocative outfit was evidently intentional.
Deliberately provoking him?!
Jun Minghan managed to maintain a calm exterior, even purposefully feigning disinterest.
“Mr. Jun, Mrs. Jun, I’m Song Zhizhi.” She lifted her glass of wine to them, “I’m honored to attend this official family banquet. This toast is for you.”
Jun Minghan picked up his wine glass. His wife by his side smiled faintly and also raised her glass.
Song Zhizhi toasted.
And she drained her glass.
A barely noticeable smile tugged at the corner of Jun Minghan’s mouth.
He knew too well what this woman was up to.
She was saying this morning that things were settled, but now she seemed to be unable to suppress herself.
Women, all so realistic.
Whoever can benefit her, she follows!
After exchanging pleasantries, Song Zhizhi politely excused herself.
As Jun Minghan watched her slender waist and rounded hips sway, he felt somewhat thirsty.
“Minghan.” The woman by his side called him.
Jun Minghan subtly returned to reality, “Dressing like this for a banquet is rather... inappropriate.”
With that, he looked disdainful.
Jun Mingyu was not far from Jun Minghan’s side.
He glanced at Song Zhizhi’s direction and a faint smile appeared on his face.
Song Zhizhi left the banquet hall directly and went to the washroom.
She threw up the red wine she had just had.
She was unable to handle alcohol.
Couldn’t drink much.
Just as they were about to touch, she closed her eyes.
“Did I bump into something?” At the doorway, a familiar male voice suddenly sounded.
Jun Minghan’s lips, perhaps just 0.01 millimeters away, froze in front of her. The next second, he nonchalantly withdrew.
He turned around and saw Jun Mingyu.
Jun Mingyu had a playful smirk, as if he were enjoying a performance.
Jun Minghan’s face changed slightly, but he quickly masked it with disdain, “I was just playing along, Song Zhizhi, I’m not that easily seduced.”
Song Zhizhi merely smiled, not bothering to refute.
Jun Minghan straightened his slightly crumpled clothes.
He tossed out a cold threat, “If you try something like this again, I won’t let it slide as I did just now!”
Then he left.
After he left.
Song Zhizhi also adjusted her clothes, feeling disgusted wherever Jun Minghan had touched her.
Jun Mingyu watched Song Zhizhi. He said, “Did you need to go that far?”
Song Zhizhi didn’t answer.
“If Ji Baijian knew about this, he would be livid!”
Song Zhizhi straightened her clothes.
She walked past Jun Mingyu in her high heels.
As she was leaving, she paused, “Don’t tell him.”
Jun Mingyu smirked.
He wasn’t that benevolent.
Song Zhizhi exited the banquet hall.
Outside the hall, people were still mingling around.
Jun Minghan resumed his socializing, as if nothing had happened.
Just then.
The banquet hall suddenly fell silent.
At that moment, everyone involuntarily turned their gaze towards the entrance of the banquet hall.
Lady Jun, Leng Wanqing, walked in with the assistance of someone at her side.
She was still adorned in her form-fitting cheongsam, with not a single gray hair in sight. She wore a delicate makeup look, and her every move exuded the aura of a high-ranking official’s wife.
All couldn’t help but respect her immensely.
She wore a smile on her face, not one that was warm and friendly, but more of an aristocratic etiquette.
“I’m sorry for arriving so late at this banquet that I organized myself!,” she apologized from the center of the banquet hall.
Although it sounded like an apology, there was no trace of remorse.
A simple formality, and no one else dared to speak out.
“The primary purpose of this banquet is that it’s been a while since we, the official families, had a proper gathering. So, it’s a good opportunity to get everyone together. More importantly, considering the various incidents that have taken place at Commercial Management recently, things now seem to have quieted down a bit. I also went out of my way to invite Mr. Qin Wenguo to participate in our official family’s banquet, with the hope of fostering good cooperation between our official family and Commercial Management in the future.”
“Lady, you’re being too polite. The relationship between Commercial Management and the official family is inseparable. Now that I’m fortunate to be filling in at Commercial Management, I look forward to your support,” Qin Wenguo said courteously.
“Your humbleness is unnecessary. We are all working for the people. However, I do have some joyful news to announce today.”
“What good news does my lady have?”
“I heard that Mr. Qin’s daughter, Miss Qin Jingxiang, is currently unmarried. As it happens, our Jun family’s youngest son, Jun Mingyu, is also single. The Dean and I have mutual consent and hope to foster this marriage.”
As the words fell.
The whole room erupted in surprise.
Song Zhizhi turned to look at Jun Minghan.
This is what is called “teaching Qin Wenguo a lesson”?!
Lady Jun really is... cunning!
