Chapter 31

As the crowd parted like the tide, a cold and beautiful woman in a white qipao approached quickly. She was tall, standing at over 1.78 meters with her high heels, towering over the venue and making many girls shrink back in inferiority. Her beautiful eyes swept over the crowd, the coldness and arrogance in them causing countless people to lower their heads, as if she were a queen from a frozen kingdom.

"Who is she? How dare she speak up for that Chen Fan?" someone in the crowd sneered.

A companion who recognized the woman had already changed his expression and quickly covered the man's mouth, saying, "Are you crazy? You don't even recognize the princess of the Wei family?"

"Princess of the Wei family?" The man who had spoken was stunned, then suddenly remembered something, his face turning pale as he quickly fell silent.

The person who arrived was none other than Wei Ziqing.

"Miss Wei?"

The moment he saw Wei Ziqing, Manager Zhu's face changed, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart.

He forced a smile and said, "Why are you here? You didn't even tell us."

"Hmph, I'm not your company's Miss," Wei Ziqing coldly snorted. She was naturally aloof and rarely smiled, and now with her anger, her beautiful face seemed to be covered in frost.

"Mr. Chen is my esteemed guest. What were you trying to do by chasing him away and calling the police?"

Hearing Wei Ziqing's words, Manager Zhu's face completely changed.

This young man is actually Miss Wei's esteemed guest?

How is that possible? Even their young master has to be polite to Miss Wei. With her noble status, how could she possibly know a working-class man dressed in cheap clothes?

He tried to defend himself, "I didn't know this gentleman was invited by you. If I had known, I wouldn't have dared to do that."

Wei Ziqing was unmoved and instead gave Chen Fan an apologetic smile.

"Mr. Chen, I'm late."

"I didn't expect my subordinates to be so unreasonable and cause these problems."

After saying this, she was truly angry.

Who is Chen Fan? A rare martial arts grandmaster, on par with Ye Nantian and Mr. Wu, someone even her grandfather had to deliberately please. To be publicly humiliated and chased out of the venue by a small manager at a cocktail party, if Chen Fan had left in anger today, all the Wei family's previous efforts would have been in vain, and they would have offended a martial arts grandmaster for no reason.

Chen Fan's expression remained calm, as if the previous accusations had never existed.

"It's fine, just some minor troublemakers making noise."

He glanced at Manager Zhu and calmly said, "This manager seems to have a grudge against me. I told him I was invited, and he could ask the receptionist to confirm, but he wouldn't listen."

Manager Zhu trembled, almost unable to stand.

He forced a smile and said, "Miss, please let me explain."

"There's no need to explain."

"I will report your actions to your boss and recommend that he fire you directly," Wei Ziqing said casually, but it sent Manager Zhu's heart plummeting into the depths of despair.

At this moment, Manager Zhu could only look at Chu Minghui with a pleading gaze, hoping that this young master would help him out of gratitude for his efforts.

But Chu Minghui was also feeling intimidated.

When Wei Ziqing appeared, his heart raced. When she apologized to Chen Fan, he couldn't believe it.

This is Wei Ziqing, the granddaughter of Old Wei! The daughter of Wei Changgeng!

Even his father would have to be polite and smile when he saw Wei Ziqing.

Although both their fathers were major generals, Chu Minghui's father was just the commander of a small city's military district, a secondary and idle position. Wei Changgeng, on the other hand, was the head of a department in a major military district's general staff, at the core of power with a bright future. How could they be compared? Not to mention the Wei family's deep roots in the military, which the Chu family couldn't match.

Seeing Manager Zhu's pleading look, Chu Minghui could only harden his resolve and step forward.

"Sister Ziqing..."

Wei Ziqing turned to look at Chu Minghui, her expression half-smiling, half-serious. "What, do you have something to explain? Don't try to fool me with lies. Do you think I don't know your character?"

Hearing this, Chu Minghui couldn't suppress his anger and retorted, "But it was this guy who took my girlfriend first..."

"Shut up!" Wei Ziqing's face turned cold, and she angrily shouted.

She looked at Chu Minghui with a gaze full of disappointment.

"I thought sending you to the military would help you get rid of your spoiled habits, but it seems you've only become worse."

"Even a gentle person like Mr. Chen can be pushed to this point by you, which shows what you're like."

"I will personally talk to Uncle Chu about this."

After saying this, she ignored Chu Minghui's pale face and turned to Chen Fan. "Mr. Chen, the auction is about to start. Let me show you the exhibits."

"Sure," Chen Fan nodded.

He glanced at Chu Minghui and smiled, then turned and left.

Manager Zhu could no longer hold himself up and collapsed to the ground, his face ashen. Chu Minghui, on the other hand, lowered his head, gritting his teeth, his fists clenched tightly.

Chen Fan's final glance, like a joke, turned into a sharp sword, piercing through his self-respect.

"What a bastard!"

After the two had walked away, Chu Minghui finally exploded, grabbing a wine glass from a nearby table and smashing it on the ground.

"Mr. Chu, please be mindful of your behavior," a manager who had been controlling the scene frowned and reminded him.

Chu Minghui looked around and saw everyone trying to suppress their laughter, remembering how he had been humiliated in public, and could only leave in anger.

...

"How could he know Wei Ziqing? This is impossible!"

As soon as he saw Wei Ziqing, Li Yichen's face changed, and he whispered in shock.

"President, who is Wei Ziqing?" Mo Xiaoshan asked curiously.

Wei Ziqing was very low-key and rarely participated in the circles of the young masters of Chu Prefecture, so few people had heard of her. If it weren't for Chen Fan, she wouldn't have attended this cocktail party today.

"The granddaughter of Old Wei, Wei Zeping's sister," Li Yichen's face twitched as he whispered.

"Her?" Mo Xiaoshan was shocked, and Lou Xiaoxiao's heart skipped a beat.

Compared to Wei Zeping, Wei Ziqing's name was much less known.

Wei Zeping was the legitimate son of the Wei family, the son of Wei Sanye. Not just in Chu Prefecture, but in the entire Jiangbei region, Wei Zeping was one of the top spoiled young masters. Someone at Mo Xiaoshan's level didn't even have the qualifications to meet Wei Zeping.

Since she is Wei Zeping's sister, Wei Ziqing's status is no less than his.

"Is she from the eldest son's family or the second son's family? I heard that among Old Wei's three sons, the third son is the least accomplished," Lou Xiaoxiao asked softly.

"She is from Wei Changgeng's family," Li Yichen said.

Mo Xiaoshan nodded. Although she wasn't from the eldest son's family, Wei Changgeng was still formidable. With Wei Changgeng's current status, he was expected to become a general. But neither Wei Zeping nor Wei Ziqing were people that someone like Mo Xiaoshan could provoke, even Li Yichen would be no match for them.

"We have really offended him this time. What if he retaliates?"

Lou Xiaoxiao was filled with regret.

This is the Wei family of Jiangbei, not someone to be provoked. Who knows how this guy managed to get such a powerful backer?

Li Yichen's face was dark, and he remained silent, his heart filled with resentment.

What was supposed to be a minor issue that could be easily resolved has now grown into a major problem.

...

At this moment, Zhang Yumeng and the others were watching the scene in amazement.

The cornered Chen Fan had launched a counterattack?

"Who is that woman? She seems to have a very high status, even Fangsheng International and Chu Minghui can't suppress her?"

"Right, wasn't he working in a bar? How could he know such a powerful woman?"

"Is there someone like her in the upper circles of Chu Prefecture?"

At their level, they had only heard of Wei Ziqing's name and had never seen her, so they were naturally amazed.

Only Han Yun's eyes narrowed, and she whispered, "That's Wei Ziqing from the Wei family."

The women's faces changed when they heard this.

The Wei family of Jiangbei, with its formidable reputation. As a legitimate daughter of the Wei family, Wei Ziqing was like a princess from the heavens, far above their level, whose families might have a few million or whose parents worked in districts and counties.

"Is this guy actually a friend of Wei Ziqing? And from the way Wei Ziqing treats him, it seems he has some other background?"

Thinking of this, many people's gazes towards Xu Rongfei changed.

They had thought this silly girl was deceived, but it turned out she had a keen eye, choosing not a piece of scrap but a diamond!

Xu Rongfei was still standing there in shock, seemingly not yet recovered from the sudden turn of events.

Jiang Churan walked over, pulled her, and whispered, "They're gone, don't just stand there."

But her heart was not as calm as her words.

"Is this your confidence? The princess of the Wei family from Jiangbei?"

"No wonder you can look down on Chu Minghui."

Jiang Churan sighed softly.
