The ancients once said:
You can know a person through their voice.
Tonight.
Those who gathered in this Slender West Lake were all either noble or aristocratic.
Let alone.
To dare to interrupt the dialogue between Qu Tianyuan and others, not only must one have great courage, but also an eminent status.
Otherwise.
The anger of these dignitaries was not ordinary people could withstand.
However.
When everyone looked towards the speaker.
In sight, there was only a man with dishevelled hair, shabbily dressed, filthy all around, just like a beggar.
Immediately.
Lu Jiuxian and other aristocratic masters wrinkled their brows, eyes hinting their extreme dissatisfaction.
If not due to their own identity.
Perhaps the next second.
They would yell at the man:
”What do you think you are, an insignificant vagrant, how dare you interrupt our conversation?!”
As for the aristocratic mistresses, their eyes signalled traces of contempt and disgust.
As if to say:
”So courageous, I thought it was some aristocratic master, it turned out to be just a beggar!”
Back to Qu Tianyuan.
His face was green, his fists were clenched, and the anger in his eyes seemed to imminently explode.
Internally, he was incomparably furious:
”Where did this beggar come from, how dare he interrupt me!”
So angry!
So, so angry!
My opportunity to be pretentious, it was destroyed by a beggar!
Towards this group of masters and mistresses from Suyang’s first-class aristocratic families.
Commoners.
Didn’t even have the qualifications to talk to them!
Let alone beggars!
To them, this was simply an unbearable humiliation!
However.
Despite their wrath, they suppressed it with the utmost self-restraint.
”To argue with a beggar would be an even greater insult to our identities!”
Qu Tianyuan motioned toward the nearby security guard, indicating to drive this ragged man out.
…..
But at this moment.
Outside the gate of Slender West Lake, a customized limousine slowly drove in.
As it just appeared.
The previously noisy banquet at Slender West Lake suddenly became much quieter.
No matter which Suyang aristocratic family they came from, identity or status.
Everybody’s gazes.
They were all concentrated on the limousine.
Even masters at the level of Qu Tianyuan and Lu Jiuxian revealed a trace of respect.
…..
Immediately.
Out of the car, walked a tall and slender beauty.
As soon as she appeared.
All the aristocratic masters present showed signs of infatuation.
But everyone understood.
This woman, they were not qualified to approach.
She was Xie Xueru – the fiancée of Suyang Qu family’s young master!
Furthermore, she was the trump card guaranteeing Suyang’s timeless aristocratic Xie family alliance through marriage to the aristocratic Qu family.
Towards becoming an aristocratic royal family.
The most important opportunity.
Xie Xueru, like her name.1
Her entire temperament, especially elegant.
A pair of pupils, like a winter night, exuding faint rays of coldness.
On that unblemished visage as white as snow, there was not a sliver of a smile, as if she were the winter solstice.
Cold, cold as if she had shed all traces of mundane vulgarity.
Icy, icy with matchless elegance.
Coupled with that peerlessly beautiful face, she could be called a glacial goddess.
She was a beauty who could lead to the downfall of any country, in any era.
At this moment.
Around the Slender West Lake, all the eyes of the aristocratic masters were focused on Xie Xueru.
Every step she took.
She shifted the attention of the entire scene.
Similarly.
Wherever Xie Xueru went, the crowd was like a tide, parting to both sides.
They were afraid to anger this future princess of a royal family.
…..
And just as Xie Xueru.
As she walked towards the largest central bridge in the Slender West Lake, she found that on the only path, there was a completely dirty man blocking the way.
She couldn’t help but gently furrowing her willow eyebrows, and within her apathetic tone, there was a vestige of censure:
”You’re blocking the way, let me pass.”
Her words were like a falling rock summoning thousands of waves. The entire audience of aristocratic sons could not help but berate again and again.
”Whence came this beggar, scram!”
”What did the security guard eat? How come even beggars were let in!”
In the eyes of this group of influential aristocrats.
A lowly beggar.
It was an abysmal sight. Daring to exist in the same frame as a goddess like Xie Xueru, he was really someone unaware of the immensity of heaven and earth.
…..
However.
Next second.
In the incredulous eyes of everyone.
They saw the man swing his hand.
As if in his eyes, what stood in front of him was not a glamorous beauty, but just trash.
Actually, right under the crowd’s stares.
To this crown jewel of the Suyang Xie family, the fiancée of the future heir to an aristocratic royal family.
Almost as if brushing away a speck of dust, without care, he pushed her directly into the lake.
…..
The next moment.
Under everyone’s dull gawking, the man lightly passed by where Xie Xueru had just stood.
This instant.
The entire scene was silent.
There was only a faint voice, resounding in everyone’s ears:
”My name is Chu Lingxiao, to let me make way, are you worthy?”
