168: Chapter 168 Was this a rejection?

The entire venue was buzzing with noise, and with the arrival of Chu Yuan, he instantly attracted the gazes of countless wealthy scions.

At the same time, everyone noticed that solitary, ethereal figure.

"Is this the young master of the Shanghai Chu Family, Young Master Chu Yuan? He is truly a peerless young master."

"My god, that is Young Master Chu. With such temperament and appearance, I fear I will never be able to compare to him in this lifetime."

At this moment, everyone stopped what they were doing, stood still, turned their heads, and focused their eyes on that majestic and imposing figure.

The entire hall fell silent at this moment.

Chu Yuan's arrival was destined to make him the center and focus of the entire banquet.

Without exception, everyone looked at Chu Yuan with gazes that were surprisingly consistent.

Other than admiration and awe, there was not a shred of jealousy.

Because when the gap between you and someone else is small, the other person will indeed feel envy, jealousy, and hatred, and sometimes they may even feel extremely unbalanced, harboring resentment, wanting to surpass you and trample you underfoot.

But when the distance between you and someone else is like a chasm, and you are completely on different levels—a presence that is unreachable—the other person cannot even conceive of feeling the slightest bit of jealousy.

Not far away, there was another person secretly watching Chu Yuan, and that was Mei Feng.

Her eyes, which were like autumn ripples, revealed a hint of emotion.

"This is Young Master Chu Yuan of the Shanghai Chu Family. When we first met, I only caught a glimpse from afar. Now, seeing him up close, he is truly imposing and indescribably handsome. Compared to Ye Yun, they are completely not on the same level."

"Strange, why would I compare a top-tier young master like Chu Yuan to a piece of trash like Ye Yun? Wouldn't that be insulting Young Master Chu?"

Since she had finally managed to see Chu Yuan, Mei Feng did not want to let this excellent opportunity slip by.

"Look, that's Mei Feng. She seems to be walking in the direction of Young Master Chu. Could she be a friend of Young Master Chu?"

"How is that possible? What is Mei Feng's status, and what is Young Master Chu's status? How could she be a friend of Young Master Chu? Perhaps she's just going up to say hello."

"Young Master Chu's charm is truly unmatched. Even Mei Feng, known as one of the four beauties of Shanghai, cannot resist Young Master Chu's charm."

"You say that, but look at who Young Master Chu is. That is the young master of the Shanghai Chu Family, the most noble existence in the entire Dragon Kingdom. Let alone Mei Feng, even those more noble young ladies would fight to offer themselves to him."

The crowd looked in the direction Mei Feng was walking, unable to help but whisper, their eyes filled with a touch of envy.

In all of Shanghai, perhaps only a woman with Mei Feng's beauty would be qualified to catch the eye of a top-tier young master like Chu Yuan.

As for the other young ladies, they only hated that their parents hadn't given them an excellent appearance and figure.

"Mei Feng of the Mei Family greets Young Master Chu."

While everyone was busy guessing Mei Feng's intentions in their hearts, Mei Feng had already arrived in front of Chu Yuan.

With a light greeting, Mei Feng cast aside her usual coldness, and her lips carried a faint, calm smile.

Given Mei Feng's personality, she always carried a touch of coldness regardless of who she faced.

But when facing a top-tier young master like Chu Yuan, she had to force a smile, adding a hint of other intentions.

Chu Yuan raised an eyebrow, a slightly amused smile appearing on his lips.

Mei Feng.

The beautiful CEO under Ye Yun's protection.

Between a beautiful CEO and a personal bodyguard, there are usually some indescribable things that happen.

Mei Feng looked nervous, her heart beating faster involuntarily, and her eyes held a hint of expectation, hoping that she could capture Chu Yuan's attention.

Unfortunately, she was destined to be disappointed.

As one of the four beauties of Shanghai, on par with Liu Yanran, Mei Feng naturally had her own unique traits.

Unfortunately, Chu Yuan, who was accustomed to beautiful women, was now unfazed by such a female lead.

Chu Yuan merely nodded indifferently, did not say anything more, and turned to walk to the side.

Watching his retreating back, Mei Feng's expression was complex.

Ignored.

Chu Yuan had chosen to ignore her directly.

This caused a trace of disappointment to suddenly well up in Mei Feng's heart.

Just at this moment, a chaotic sound suddenly came from the entrance; it turned out to be Mo Chou bringing his little brother, Ye Yun, into the hall.

When they stepped inside, they happened to see the disappointment in Mei Feng's eyes because she had been ignored by Chu Yuan.

This scene was taken in by Ye Yun, and Mo Chou, as an outsider, seemed to see it clearly as well.

Mo Chou patted Ye Yun on the shoulder and comforted him: "Brother Ye, I heard you are currently working as a bodyguard for Mei Feng. With Brother Ye's strength, to be willing to do such a thing, could it be that you are interested in that Mei Feng?"

"Brother Mo has misunderstood. I am only choosing to lurk by her side in order to investigate some matters."

Ye Yun wiped his eyes and fixed his gaze on Mei Feng.

The state of disappointment flickering in Mei Feng's eyes was taken in by Ye Yun.

He opened his mouth wide, his face full of disbelief.

During this time by Mei Feng's side, he had also gained some understanding of her personality.

Mei Feng was naturally cold and had always treated every man with an icy, indifferent attitude.

This time, not only did she take the initiative to greet Chu Yuan, but after being rejected by Chu Yuan, she even revealed a hint of disappointment.

Just through this one action of Mei Feng's, Ye Yun had already guessed a lot.

Why would Mei Feng, who never wore makeup, suddenly put on makeup today?

Why would Mei Feng, who had always been cold to men, be depressed because of Chu Yuan?

Everything was because of Chu Yuan.

Looking at Chu Yuan's retreating back, Ye Yun frowned deeply and clenched his fists.

After Mei Feng was rejected, many other wealthy scions stepped forward, intending to greet Chu Yuan and get familiar with him.

Chu Yuan frowned. He hadn't come here to cozy up to these second-generation wealthy kids; he just wanted to accompany Ye Yun in a good show, and he certainly didn't want to waste his energy dealing with this group of second-generation wealthy kids.

Sensing Chu Yuan's displeasure, Family Head Guan Suo reacted in time, stepped forward, blocked in front of Chu Yuan, and stopped all these people.

Chu Yuan saw this action by Family Head Guan Suo and was quite satisfied.

Being a dog isn't easy; you can't do it without a bit of situational awareness.

Subsequently, he looked at the crowd and said: "I invited you all here today simply for casual conversation. You need not pay me any mind; go about your own business."

Chu Yuan always carried a faint smile, giving people a feeling of being bathed in a spring breeze.

Since these words had been spoken, how could the crowd not understand his meaning? They had no choice but to dispel the idea of going up to curry favor.

After dismissing this group of boring people, Family Head Guan Suo led Chu Yuan to the best spot in the banquet.

That was the position at the top of the banquet pyramid; in the entire banquet scene, apart from Chu Yuan, no one else dared to covet it.
