86: foreign aid
Bai Fu (Bai's father)'s expression was not good.
Wang Fu (Wang's father)'s expression next to him was equally gloomy!
He looked at Bai Fu (Bai's father) and asked with a frown, "Mr. Bai, what's going on?"
Wang Fu (Wang's father) even changed his previous address.
He was clearly furious to the extreme!
The announcement had just been made.
Now Bai Muxue was turning hostile.
Wasn't this slapping him in the face?
"I..."
Bai Fu (Bai's father) was also too embarrassed to speak.
In his expectation.
Bai Muxue had always been a person who understood the bigger picture.
This public announcement was also a disguised way of making her obey.
He didn't expect things to develop far beyond his predictions...
Just as the scene fell into an awkward silence.
Suddenly.
At this moment.
The other side of the banquet hall suddenly became noisy...
Everyone subconsciously turned to look.
They saw two figures appearing at the entrance of the banquet hall.
The newcomers were naturally Chen Tianming and Bai Muning!
"Wow, is that the Chen Family Young Master?"
"The last time I saw him, he wasn't that handsome!"
"Are the rumors true?"
"That's Bai Muning next to him, right?"
"Isn't that Bai Muxue's younger sister?"
"Why is she here?"
"And with Chen Shao..."
"..."
Everyone was discussing animatedly.
Chen Tianming might not be well-known in other places.
But here.
Everyone here was from a wealthy family.
Naturally, they all recognized this Young Master of the world's largest financial consortium!
Without needing any words.
Chen Tianming naturally became the focus of everyone's attention!
For a moment.
The sounds of greetings and congratulations from both sides were endless!
Although Chen Tianming's status meant he didn't need to attend this banquet at all.
But since he appeared.
Naturally, no one dared to stop him.
At this moment, Bai Muning, who was beside Chen Tianming, slightly raised her head and looked to her side, only then realizing for the first time what kind of influence this person beside her truly held in the upper echelons of society!
Feeling the gazes of the people around her.
She only felt immense pressure!
After all, her presence beside Chen Tianming already explained a lot of things.
Naturally, everyone couldn't ignore her.
After dealing with the people who greeted her.
Bai Muning looked at Bai Muxue in the distance.
Her eyes lit up!
She quietly waved her hand!
Bai Muxue's eyes first lit up, not expecting her younger sister to be able to invite Chen Tianming. This way, even the Wang family would have to show him some respect.
However, immediately after, a hint of doubt flashed across her face!
As far as she knew.
Bai Muning usually rarely even went out, let alone attended banquets.
How could she possibly know Chen Tianming?
And... the two of them seemed to have a very good relationship.
As if they had known each other for many years...
How was this possible?
As Bai Muxue was bewildered.
Chen Tianming smiled slightly.
The corners of his mouth curved upwards as he said, "It seems very lively here."
"Did something fun happen?"
This smile.
Immediately made all the women present swoon!
To attend today's banquet.
Chen Tianming specifically changed into a black suit!
Coupled with his doubled attractiveness and friendly buff.
Even Bai Muxue was momentarily dazed!
She had seen many handsome men abroad.
But someone as handsome as Chen Tianming.
This was the first time she had seen him!
However, Bai Muxue was, after all, the Female Lead.
Her resistance was still higher.
She quickly realized that she had been staring blankly when making eye contact with Chen Tianming.
Her pretty face flushed!
She quickly averted her gaze!
And at this moment.
Wang Fu (Wang's father) and Bai Fu (Bai's father)'s expressions suddenly changed.
They had no idea.
Chen Tianming would appear here.
Especially Bai Fu (Bai's father), seeing Bai Muning next to Chen Tianming.
He immediately realized something.
A premonition of something bad flashed through his mind!
Wang Fu (Wang's father) was the first to react.
He quickly came forward and cupped his hands, saying:
"Chen Shao, it's a great honor to have you here, a great honor!"
Wang Liang, who was beside him, instantly changed his expression when he saw Chen Tianming.
He subconsciously took half a step back!
After Chen Tianming had displayed his strength earlier.
Wang Liang couldn't help but feel fear towards him!
He had been well-behaved for quite some time recently.
Fearing to provoke this person again.
Unexpectedly.
He avoided the first, but not the fifteenth.
Now they still met.
Since his old man had gone forward.
He could only brace himself and follow.
He bowed his head to greet Chen Tianming.
Chen Tianming glanced at Wang Liang.
This could be considered his subordinate villain.
After the last time he took the time to go to the Wang family to stabilize his realm and deliberately display his strength.
This guy had already developed some fear of him.
Even when he told the Wang family to keep a low profile earlier.
He honestly didn't cause any trouble.
Which made him look at him in a new light.
This fellow Wang Liang, as a minor villain.
Although he was lustful.
However, he still had some brains.
Chen Tianming came back to his senses.
He said, "This Young Master just happened to pass by here and heard that the Wang family and the Bai family were holding a grand banquet, so I just came in to take a look..."
"However, it seems that it's not going very smoothly."
Wang Fu (Wang's father) and Bai Fu (Bai's father) were forcing smiles.
Anyone with discerning eyes.
Could tell.
What had happened here before.
Although they were both patriarchs with excellent psychological fortitude.
They couldn't go from being furious one second.
To laughing heartily the next as if they had changed faces.
There would still be some unnaturalness.
Wang Fu (Wang's father) quickly said, "Just some minor matters, Chen Shao must be laughing at us!"
Others didn't understand Chen Tianming's terror.
But he, the Wang family patriarch, knew.
This seemingly frivolous Chen Family Young Master.
Actually possessed extremely terrifying martial arts talent!
Even without considering the Chen family's background.
He would definitely be a very high-ranking existence anywhere!
How could Bai Fu (Bai's father) miss the opportunity to show his face in front of Chen Tianming?
He also stepped forward and said, "Chen Shao's arrival brings glory to our humble home!"
"Muxue, why aren't you coming to greet Chen Shao?"
Saying that, he frowned and looked beside him.
Bai Muxue throwing a little tantrum in front of others.
Was fine.
But in front of Chen Tianming.
Once she was rude.
That could lead to big trouble!
Bai Muxue naturally wouldn't refuse upon hearing this, and gracefully walked up to Chen Tianming, saying, "Greetings, Chen Shao!"
Chen Tianming glanced at her.
Instantly.
A golden light emanated from her!
The next moment.
In his eyes.
System text appeared above Bai Muxue's head.
"Name: Bai Muxue (Daughter of Destiny)"
"Age: 25 years old"
"Identity: Eldest Young Lady of the Bai Family"
"Appearance: 95"
"Strength: Mortal"
"Corresponding Protagonist: None"
"Special: Female Lead, returned from studying abroad, majored in business management, extremely capable..."
Female Lead?
Chen Tianming raised an eyebrow slightly.
Even he was seeing this kind of Female Lead for the first time.
This world, formed by the fusion of novels, was truly all-encompassing!
It even had Female Leads!
The corners of his mouth curved slightly upwards.
Based on what he knew.
Female Leads like this.
Mostly had some professional skills.
Convenient for showing off in later plotlines.
Essentially a female version of male protagonists.
There wasn't much difference in essence.
"Business management?" Chen Tianming's gaze shifted to the last line.
"Perfect, my company is still short of a manager."
The corners of his mouth curved slightly upwards.
In his heart.
At this moment, Bai Muxue was already his for the taking!
Chen Tianming turned his head and casually glanced at Wang Liang, who was respectfully and honestly standing by his side, and asked, "I heard you plan to marry her?"
Although the smile on Chen Tianming's face didn't diminish.
Wang Liang, for some reason.
Felt a chill!
He couldn't help but slowly shiver!
