84: banquet

Chen Tianming saw that Zhao Xuexuan could already circulate the spiritual energy in her body on her own.

He then lowered his finger.

With a smile, he said, "Ice element ability?"

"Not bad, it really suits the 'Iceberg CEO' setting!"

Coming to Zhao Xuexuan's side this time, on one hand, it was to fulfill his agreement with the fat boss for cooperation.

On the other hand, it was to awaken abilities for his women.

Chen Tianming briefly explained.

Zhao Xuexuan slowly recovered from her shock...

...

On the other side.

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse.

Baisha Grand Hotel.

The Wang family and the Bai family had specially booked a hotel as the venue for the banquet.

Although it was called a banquet, everyone knew that it was actually the prelude to the two families' planned marriage alliance.

The parking lot was filled with all sorts of luxury cars.

The people coming and going were wealthy young masters from all walks of life who had been invited.

At this time, the banquet had not officially begun.

Many people held wine glasses, chatting and laughing outside the hotel.

Although they were not the protagonists of this banquet, as various wealthy individuals, they were still very actively seizing this opportunity.

They wanted to get acquainted with everyone around them.

After all, none of the people who could come here were ordinary.

Perhaps at some point, they would cooperate with each other.

Taking this opportunity to build good relationships was naturally beneficial and harmless!

This was the essence of a high-society banquet.

No entertainment, all business.

Just as everyone was talking, suddenly, a roar sounded!

A silver sports car was seen driving from afar!

With a screech!

It stopped at the entrance of the hotel.

After seeing the figure in the car, gasps of cold air immediately sounded around!

"Is that the Bai family's eldest young lady, Bai Muxue?"

"She truly lives up to her reputation!"

"This beauty, these long legs! Hiss... she's simply like a fairy descended to the mortal world!"

"I heard that many noble young masters even went abroad to pursue her, and I used to scoff at it, but now it seems it's not an exaggeration at all!"

"I heard she has a younger sister who is also very beautiful, no less than her older sister. Why haven't I seen her?"

"You're talking about Bai Muning, right?"

"I heard she's a homebody who likes to play games and doesn't go out often. But I've seen her once before, and she does look seven or eight parts similar to Bai Muxue, but her temperament is far worse!"

"Both sisters are beautiful? Hehe, I suddenly have a bold idea..."

The person who spoke was a young master from a small family.

He was notoriously lustful on weekdays.

Upon hearing this, he couldn't help but fantasize, with a lewd expression.

He couldn't help but laugh out loud!

Little did he know, as soon as he spoke, the expressions of those around him instantly changed drastically!

Many people even directly distanced themselves from him, looking as if they wanted to clear their names.

"Shut up! Are you tired of living?"

"That's Chen Shao's woman! If you want to die, don't drag us down!"

Everyone quickly moved to the side to avoid him!

Although they were wealthy families, compared to a behemoth like the Chen family, they were nothing!

If they were implicated by this brainless guy, they would have nowhere to cry!

Listening to the reprimands of the people around him, the dissolute young master finally reacted.

Upon hearing this, cold sweat immediately broke out on his forehead!

"Bai Muning is Chen Tianming's woman?"

He truly didn't know!

Not everyone is as well-informed as those great families.

No one responded to him.

There was no one standing next to him anymore.

In the lively environment, a clear vacuum zone formed around him!

Even those young masters who usually had good relationships with him now turned their backs on him and hid to the side!

Although they would definitely fall out with him later, compared to offending the Chen family, even a fool would know how to choose!

Looking at the empty surroundings, the dissolute young master gritted his teeth.

He didn't dare to stay here any longer.

He turned and left the banquet directly...

...

At this moment, Bai Muxue had already stepped out of the car.

Today, she was wearing a white, form-fitting long dress.

The delicate fabric outlined her perfect figure.

Her long, dark hair cascaded down like a waterfall.

Her face was cold, and her eyes naturally carried a cool temperament.

She was definitely a mature and elegant type!

However, at this moment, Bai Muxue's delicate brows were slightly furrowed, looking preoccupied.

She handed the car keys to the doorman and simply responded to the greetings of those around her.

She walked directly into the hotel.

Looking at her retreating back, many people who had pursued her gathered together, whispering:

"Muxue seems to be in a bad mood today!"

"I heard she doesn't seem to want to marry into the Wang family!"

"She even went abroad before to avoid the family marriage alliance!"

"What? Really?"

"I think it's true."

"Then doesn't that mean there's a good show to watch at this banquet between the two great families?"

"..."

As everyone discussed, they exchanged glances.

They all saw the anticipation and excitement in each other's eyes!

They were already fervent admirers of Bai Muxue.

A few days ago, when they learned that their goddess was going to marry that Wang Liang, their minds collapsed!

Their goddess, whom they had pursued for so long, was actually going to marry a hooligan?

It was like a fresh flower stuck in cow dung!

Who could accept that?

However, because they were facing the Wang family, one of the Four Great Families, they dared to be angry but did not dare to speak!

Coming here today, their hearts were originally dead.

Now it seems there might be a turning point?

Although a family marriage alliance cannot be easily canceled, if the person involved strongly objects, it naturally needs to be reconsidered.

"If Bai Muxue rejects Wang Liang, don't we still have a chance?"

Someone couldn't help but blurt out what was on his mind, his face full of excitement!

Although the surrounding people didn't say anything, they couldn't help but feel a surge of anticipation!

After all, if she fell into Wang Liang's hands, there would truly be no hope.

But if Bai Muxue didn't have a marriage alliance, at least they would still have a chance to compete!

...

At this moment, Bai Muxue's expression in the elevator was quite complex.

As the eldest daughter of the Bai family, she had known her destiny for a long time.

But for some reason, at the last moment, she still hesitated...

Finally, Bai Muxue sighed deeply!

She looked out the window and muttered to herself, "Muning, I hope the person you found can really help me..."

If she had a choice, she really didn't want to completely fall out with the Bai family!

After all, this was her home, and she still had some feelings for it.

However, ultimately, she didn't have much confidence in Bai Muning either.

It was well known that her younger sister was a homebody.

She had very few social interactions.

What kind of connections could she possibly have to solve this kind of problem?

That was the Wang family, one of the Four Great Families.

Most people would probably not even dare to intervene after hearing about it...

With complex thoughts, Bai Muxue walked into the reception hall.

At this time, Wang Fu (Wang's father) and Bai Fu (Bai's father) were already surrounded by a group of family heads in the center of the hall, holding wine glasses and chatting and laughing.

And next to Wang Fu (Wang's father), Wang Liang, dressed in a suit, was clearly meticulously groomed.

Upon closer inspection, he could even be called quite handsome!

However, among those who pursued Bai Muxue, there were many who were far more handsome than Wang Liang.

Therefore, this bit of grooming held no attraction for Bai Muxue.

At this moment, Wang Fu (Wang's father) standing in the center was very happy.

He looked at Bai Fu (Bai's father) and said with a smile, raising his glass, "After the engagement, we will be in-laws!"

"Business matters can be cooperated on even more closely."

Bai Fu (Bai's father) immediately showed joy upon hearing this!

He quickly lowered his head and said, "From now on, for business matters, I will have to rely on you greatly..."

This was the very sentence he had been waiting for!

The two looked at each other and smiled.

They raised their wine glasses and drank them in one gulp.
