118: Bai Junchen

Ye Wuhuan's expression darkened at the sight, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

Ever since he was a child, Ye Wuhuan had never been rejected by any woman he had set his eyes on; many had even thrown themselves at him.

Only Ren Jing, from childhood to adulthood, had always ignored Ye Wuhuan, completely disregarding his admiration for her.

This was also why Ye Wuhuan had never given up on Ren Jing over the years.

The more she ignored him, the more he wanted to possess her, then cruelly ravage her, and finally kick her away.

This twisted psychology imbued Ye Wuhuan's pursuit of Ren Jing with a pathological obsession.

Of course, Ren Jing was naturally unaware of Ye Wuhuan's perverted thoughts.

Ren Jing simply had no interest in his 'fresh meat' type, and Ye Wuhuan was also notoriously promiscuous in Yanjing, rumored to have ruined many girls.

Ren Jing instinctively disliked his Young Master demeanor.

"Qin Shou, why are you hiding there?"

Ren Jing searched through the crowd for a long time before finally spotting Qin Shou hiding in a corner, and she called out to him with delight.

Suddenly, everyone's gaze simultaneously turned towards Qin Shou, who had been standing in the corner.

They were all a bit puzzled, wondering, "Who is this person? I haven't heard of him! When did the City produce a young talent named Qin Shou who could make Ren Jing greet him so actively?"

"Uh, Happy Birthday."

Qin Shou chuckled, stepped out of the crowd, and walked up to Ren Jing.

To be honest, Qin Shou felt a bit awkward; one reason was that he wasn't used to being the center of attention, and this high-profile entrance made him uncomfortable.

Of course, what made him even more awkward was that Ren Jing and Yan Yourong were sitting side-by-side at this moment.

Knowing that both of them had been intimate with him, Qin Shou couldn't help but feel a headache.

Yan Yourong seemed to notice Qin Shou's thoughts and secretly threw him a seductive glance, looking at him with a half-smile.

This made Qin Shou's heart pound, thinking, "Goodness, please tone it down; this isn't the place for us to be all lovey-dovey."

"Qin Shou! I didn't expect you to come too."

Just as Qin Shou was feeling a bit lost, a familiar voice sounded from behind him.

Qin Shou looked in the direction of the voice and saw a slender and beautiful figure appear in everyone's sight.

The moment this figure appeared, it caused a collective gasp from the guests present.

The reason was none other than the person who appeared was the currently immensely popular actress, Xu Sishi.

Of course, if she were just a popular actress, it wouldn't have caused so many high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen to exclaim, as for these top-tier individuals, having affairs with actresses was quite normal.

They had seen countless beauties, and ordinary actresses truly couldn't catch their eye.

But Xu Sishi was somewhat special; in the true upper circles, everyone knew very well that Xu Sishi's background was extraordinary, as she also came from a top-tier aristocratic family in Yanjing.

Her family's influence was vast, with deep connections in both the political and business spheres.

It was said that since Xu Sishi's debut, no director had ever dared to proposition her.

There was even a popular young idol, who, thinking he was attractive, wanted to get resources from the Xu Family by getting involved with Xu Sishi, so he pestered her relentlessly, which angered Xu Sishi.

As a result, this young idol was severely beaten by a young colonel in the military, almost becoming disabled.

This incident caused a huge stir in the entertainment industry at the time, but the young idol dared not step forward to accuse anyone, and relevant media also dared not dig deeper into the matter, directly giving it the cold shoulder.

Soon after, this young idol was blacklisted by his agency and faded out of the entertainment industry, showing how powerful Xu Sishi's backing was.

"Oh, hello, Miss Xu."

Qin Shou smiled and nodded, somewhat surprised that Xu Sishi would actually greet him first, as they had only met once before.

"Don't forget our agreement, I hope we can collaborate soon."

Xu Sishi's lips curved slightly, her smile sweet, making people feel as if they were basking in a spring breeze.

"Of course, I also look forward to collaborating with Miss Xu."

Saying this, Qin Shou shook hands with Xu Sishi.

One had to admit, Xu Sishi was truly a national goddess; her small hand was so tender that Qin Shou was almost reluctant to let go.

While Qin Shou was enjoying the moment, a young, somewhat effeminate man behind Xu Sishi, with his hands in his pockets, stared at Qin Shou with a cold, displeased expression.

This young man was dressed in a branded suit, looking bright and stylish, but the expression on his face was rather gloomy, clearly displeased by the closeness between Qin Shou and Xu Sishi.

"Sisi, introduce me, who is this?"

The young man behind Xu Sishi forced a smile, wanting to appear magnanimous in front of Xu Sishi, but the jealousy in his eyes was impossible to hide.

He hadn't even touched Xu Sishi's small hand yet, but Qin Shou had touched it first; how could he not be angry?

Unexpectedly, Xu Sishi coldly glanced at the Young Master with an annoyed expression, saying impatiently, "What's it to you? Bai Junchen, can you stop clinging to me like a dog's skin plaster every day?"

"Sisi, our matter was arranged by the elders in our families.

Don't be willful anymore; it's good for both our families," the young man whispered, trying to pressure Xu Sishi with family interests.

"Bai Junchen, let me tell you, no matter who arranged it, if I, Xu Sishi, don't agree, it won't happen.

Even if my grandfather forces me, it won't work.

Don't you dare threaten me with these family interests; I, Xu Sishi, don't fall for that."

Xu Sishi angrily turned her face away, no longer bothering with Bai Junchen, and instead walked towards Ren Jing with a smile.

"Jingjing, Happy Birthday."

"Sisi, I can't believe a busy person like you actually has time to see me.

I'm so happy!"

"Of course! What else? You're my bestbest friend!"

At once, the three women—Ren Jing, Xu Sishi, and Yan Yourong—chatted and laughed, as if no one else was around.

"Brother, Bai Junchen from The Bai Family of Yanjing, let's be friends?"

Saying this, Bai Junchen extended his right hand, a forced smile on his face, but with a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes.

"Oh, hello! My name is Qin Shou."

Qin Shou didn't think much of it and also extended his right hand, intending to shake hands with the other party.

He had heard Bai Junchen and Xu Sishi's conversation clearly just now and thought that anyone who could be allied with Xu Sishi must also be a noble Young Master from a prominent family, so there was no need to offend him.

Anyway, Xu Sishi's marriage alliance had little to do with him.

However, what Qin Shou didn't expect was that while he had no intention of offending Bai Junchen, Bai Junchen clearly had no intention of letting him off.

As soon as Qin Shou grasped Bai Junchen's hand, he felt a great force coming from his right hand; the other party clearly intended to put him in his place.
