Those years, those jokes, those scum

Chapter 261: Brilliant Life, Nothing Can Replace It 36

This dinner was held at the Xue family's main residence. The usually quiet villa area became very lively. In front of the spacious courtyard, there were almost all kinds of luxury cars parked. However, these were not their concerns.

What made Leng Nuan and Yun Shen more concerned was that the guests attending the banquet included not only business tycoons and popular stars, but also government officials of high rank. The two looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes. It was not normal that the Xue family had only returned to China not long ago, and their power had developed to this point.

Yun Shen quietly withdrew his inquiry and said nonchalantly, "What do you call this? After ten years of enduring humiliation, the king has returned. This time I want to take back everything that belongs to me. The Prince's Revenge!"

"Hahahahaha, Yun Shen, what kind of metaphor is that?" The Lu family siblings chuckled, and then looked at the magnificent hall. The noble and elegant aura at the beginning was gone. Only a strong sense of middle school was left.

Although it was their first time to come into contact with the Yun family, since they had similar personalities and were all young people, their relationship quickly became lively.

"After all, he is your future brother-in-law." Is it really okay for you to tease him like this?

Yun Shen smiled and didn't respond to Lu Anran's words. He took the wine glass, took a small step back, lowered his body slightly, and asked quietly beside Leng Nuan.

"They...don't they know that the Lu family and the Xue family had a big conflict many years ago?"

To put it politely, it's called a grudge, to put it bluntly, it's called an enemy. After hearing what Leng Nuan said about this matter, he went to the relevant bureau to look up the information.

"It seems I don't know."

Leng Nuan also discovered that in this matter, not only did the Lu siblings and Qin Shuangjiang not know about it, even her mother, Ms. Lu, acted as if nothing had happened.

Twenty years ago, the business war between the Xue family and the Qin family was as exciting as a TV series. The head of the Xue family at that time, Xue Chenjing's father, was vicious and ruthless. He offended many people on weekdays. After failing to compete with the Qin family, he was ridiculed by his former defeated opponents. In anger, he kidnapped Lu Bohan for revenge. This caused the Qin and Lu families to bankrupt the Xue family and force them to leave the country.

"That's so weird. It doesn't make sense."

Yun Shen was surprised. His family also had people doing business, so he knew that there were no permanent enemies or permanent friends in the business world. However, he couldn't let go of even his enemies.

"Maybe I just don't want them to get involved in these grudges."

Yun Shen looked at the brother and sister who were dealing with others not far away. Two similar faces, equally sunny and confident. That was the unique temperament of children who were raised happily since childhood. It was a unique light that was not polluted by the darkness of this world and could not be faked by anyone who was proficient in disguise.

“That’s right.” Yun Shen drank a sip of champagne sullenly and said bitterly, “It’s really not necessary.”

Leng Nuan glanced at him, reached out and patted his shoulder to show her concern.

This heartwarming scene happened to be seen by the Lu family brother and sister who had just returned.

Lu Anran hesitated for a moment, stood still, and asked in an uncertain tone: "Sister, why do I feel that we are not here to be flower protectors, but rather to help the jealous elder brother keep an eye on the elder sister-in-law who is attending a banquet outside to prevent her from cheating on the younger brother?"

Luanna gave him an approving look. Although her brother was a silly son of a landlord, he was more perceptive than her when he needed to be perceptive. This also helped him avoid many pitfalls.

She said that she thought there was nothing wrong with Leng Nuan, but the problem was with her dear cousin! She seemed to have discovered something big!!!

"Let go of your hands!"

A sweet and scolding female voice attracted everyone's attention.

Xue Muqing, wearing crystal shoes and holding up the hem of her light pink skirt with her fair and delicate hands, quickly squeezed in between the two of them, blocking the distance between them.

"Mu Qing, why are you here?"

"Hmph, since you don't even come to find me, I'll have to come to you myself." The woman called Mu Qing retracted her glaring gaze and turned around to complain to Yun Shen in dissatisfaction.

Leng Nuan was not interested in taking part in this kind of drama. She gave Yun Shen a look that said "you can handle it yourself" and turned away.

"Stop! Who told you to leave?"

Unfortunately, Xue Muqing ignored her. She quickly stepped forward and, relying on her height and long arms, grabbed Leng Nuan's wrist.

Her sudden action startled Yun Shen who was standing behind her. He saw Leng Nuan grab Xue Muqing with his backhand, fearing that she would perform a wonderful shoulder throw to the audience out of reflex.

Fortunately, Leng Nuan controlled his subconscious in the end, paused his subsequent actions, and loosened his clenched hands.

"When did our Xue family fall so low in status? How come we let in all kinds of people?" Xue Muqing, who was very angry, did not notice the change in that instant.

The people at the scene were looking forward to a scene of the wife fighting the mistress with a gloating look. Some people also joked.

"As expected of Miss Xue, her reputation as a vicious person is well deserved."

"You dare to provoke Master Yun? You are really brave."

"That should be the one from the Qin family..."

"Hush, this hasn't been made public yet. She's just a wild girl with no name or status. As expected, if she's not raised by your side, even if she has noble blood in her bones, she can't be on the stage."

The Lu siblings listened to the silent conversation and walked quickly towards Leng Nuan with gloomy faces.

She was good at quarreling. If anyone dared to bully the Lu family, she would take her last name if she was not allowed to cry and run away today! Just when Lu Anna was about to have a big fight, a beautiful red shadow interrupted their contact.

"Ms. Xue, treating guests like this at your birthday party is the tradition of your Xue family. Don't you feel ashamed?"

"Let go, you're pinching me."

Before Xue Muqing had time to see who was speaking, she felt a pain in her arm.

She struggled hard, and Qin Shuangjiang, who had been holding her wrist tightly, suddenly loosened his hand, causing her to fall backwards violently. Fortunately, Yun Shen was behind her and steadied her body.

"You..." She looked at the red mark on her wrist and was about to curse, but suddenly she remembered something. Xue Muqing raised her hand and stretched it in front of Yun Shen, saying aggrievedly: "Brother Yun, look, I'm being bullied by a bad woman."

Yun Shen felt a chill running straight up to his head. Brother Yun, I'm still Yun Diao Diao. Have you read too many novels and your brain got damaged? Can you speak normally?

"Your fiancée was bullied in front of so many people. Why don't you teach them a lesson!" Seeing Yun Shen's indifferent look, Xue Muqing continued to pester him.

"But... you were the first to make the move, and it's gone now, isn't it?" He pulled down his arm in front of his eyes, and said it seriously, but he rolled his eyes in his heart. Are you kidding me? Let him teach Leng Nuan a lesson, and who knows who will teach whom now!

"Why are you here? Have you finished your work?" Leng Nuan completely ignored the noise over there. She looked at the person in front of her who was dressed up carefully.

If Jun Zhuo's red dress is a naughty fire elf, then Qin Shuangjiang, wearing a deep V well-cut red evening dress, is the queen who controls the whole scene.

"You look great in red." It made her feel familiar.

"Thank you, I think so too." Qin Shuangjiang was a little embarrassed at first, but when she saw the surprise and joy in those eyes that were as bright as stars, she instantly felt full of confidence.

Luanna looked at her cousin, who was always modest, low-key and polite, and now was as proud as a peacock spreading its tail. She cried out in her heart, it's over, she's trapped!

"I don't care. Today's business is not over yet!"

"Xiaoqing, stop making trouble." Xue Chenjing's appearance successfully stopped his sister's farce.

"Brother~" Xue Muqing stomped her feet in dissatisfaction.

"Don't forget, you are the protagonist here today."

"Hmph~" Although she was dissatisfied, she also remembered that this was her birthday party. She glared in Leng Nuan's direction, then pulled Yun Shen to her group of little sisters.

Xue Chenjing shook her head helplessly, then walked towards Leng Nuan and said gently, "You two, I'm so sorry. I was rude."

"I've heard that Mr. Qin is extraordinary. It's really an honor for me to have you here today."

"No, no, it's Mr. Xue who is famous."

The two of them were flattering each other. Lu Anran, who was stopped by her sister and not allowed to go over, asked in confusion, "Sister, why are you stopping me from going over?"

Luanna couldn't help but roll her eyes at him, silly boy, this is a Shura field, where the hell are you going to go?

"But then again, don't you think that what your cousin is wearing today looks like she's here to cause trouble?" This is not her usual low-key and decent style.

She wasn't here to cause trouble, she was here to slap the face of her potential love rival!

After a few pleasantries, Xue Chenjing smiled gently at Leng Nuan and said, "I didn't have the chance to invite you to dance last time. This time, I wonder if I can have this honor." After that, he made a standard invitation gesture, which caused a commotion at the scene.

"I'm really sorry. Leng Nuan is not good at dancing. Mr. Xue, you should find another dance partner. Well, we'll take our leave first." After saying that, Qin Shuangjiang took Leng Nuan's left hand and left.

"Isn't what Mr. Qin said too absolute?" He was not a good-tempered person. His plans were ruined again and again, which made Xue Chenjing very unhappy. He grabbed Leng Nuan's right hand and refused to let him leave.

The crowds watching were whispering:

"What's going on here?"

"Why does it feel like two women are fighting for a husband?"

As expected, the public has sharp eyes. Luanna, who said she had seen through everything, nodded vigorously in her heart while cracking some sunflower seeds that she had found somewhere.

Leng Nuan looked to her left and then to her right. The man and woman holding her hands had no intention of letting go.

“……”There seems to be something wrong with this style of painting!
