Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The atmosphere of the banquet was more relaxed than Murong Qiao had imagined.
An Nuo was chatting with her friend Shu Qiao. It seemed like the two of them had not seen each other for a long time.
Murong Qiao held a wine glass in her hand and swept her cold and distant gaze across the crowd of the banquet, noticing the protagonist of this banquet.
“Han Peibai,” she said his name softly.
He had a refined appearance. Perhaps it was because he had studied abroad that he had a more elegant and unrestrained temperament. Therefore, many people’s first impression of him was that he was a romantic poet, and he had the noble and aristocratic feeling of a young master.
Han Peibai stood in the crowd. His movements were elegant and graceful. Just from the happy expressions of the young ladies around him, one could tell how popular he was.
As if sensing Murong Qiao’s sized up gaze, Han Peibai looked in her direction.
It was also at this moment that a girl walked in front of Murong Qiao, blocking their gaze.
“Hello, Young Miss Murong. My name is He Yimei.” The person smiled faintly.
Murong Qiao thought about this name and confirmed that she didn’t know her. She also retracted her gaze from Han Peibai.
“Hello.” She nodded distantly.
He Yimei seemed to be very interested in her. “I’ve always wanted to meet you. I heard that you even opened an entertainment company…”
It was clearly just a cold greeting, but He Yimei seemed to have mistaken it for an opening as her enthusiasm heightened.
“Do you still need more artistes? 1 always find it interesting to be a celebrity,” she asked.
Murong Qiao resisted the urge to rub her temples as that question gave her a headache.
The sound of their conversation attracted the others. Hearing He Yimei’s question, the others also asked the same question. The eagerness in their eyes was clearly displayed in front of Murong Qiao.
Afraid that these people would ask something else, she quickly said, “My company is too small. If you want to become a big star, 1 think it’s better to go to those big companies.”
It was obvious that these people were here to experience life. If they went to her company and threw a tantrum, Murong Qiao might not be able to handle it.
Hearing Murong Qiao’s words, some people didn’t give up and wanted to ask again. If they could send someone to Murong Qiao’s company, they would at least benefit from the Murong family’s name.
“We also want to give it a try. It just so happens that Young Miss Murong is very familiar with this aspect—” A young master said. “And I think Young Miss Murong can at most move her mouth for such a small matter, right?”
He sounded relaxed and joking. He felt that such a small matter was nothing to Murong Qiao.
The young master’s head swayed slightly as he spoke with a wine glass in his hand. He had a sloppy temperament that made people think that he was ignorant and incompetent. His tone was also lazy and frivolous.
“I can’t say that I’m well connected in this industry. I’m just fooling around as a boss,” she replied.
Murong Qiao suppressed her frown. She felt that this person’s words displeased her. There was even a hint of arrogance in them, as if the entire world revolved around him.
They could clearly hear the rejection in Murong Qiao’s voice, so they felt a little embarrassed by Murong Qiao’s rejection.
Murong Qiao smiled faintly and took a sip of wine. “It’s not good to drag others down when I lose money.”
This was her second rejection. The young master who spoke also forced a smile for a moment, before a trace of anger flashed across his face.
No one expected Murong Qiao to reject them so completely. Although she rejected them tactfully, they still couldn’t help but feel that she wasn’t giving them face.
Some proud young ladies even turned around and left immediately. It was obvious that they were unhappy but Murong Qiao’s expression remained cold as she pretended not to see it.
It was good that they had left. They would not have to go to her company to cause trouble.
“What’s the big deal?” Someone even muttered to himself.
However, that person definitely wouldn’t dare to say that in front of Murong Qiao. After all, she was from the Murong family. No one had the guts to provoke her.
The young master who had just said that he wanted to be a celebrity was also tactful. “My friend seems to be here. Excuse me.”
At this point, everyone dispersed, and the group of people around Murong Qiao gradually decreased.
Meanwhile, An Nuo, who had finished chatting with Shu Qiao, was standing at the side. Seeing that Murong Qiao’s side was finally empty, she walked towards her.
“The annoying guy has finally left,” she complained softly.
An Nuo paid attention to the occasion, so only Murong Qiao could hear her.
Annoying?
Murong Qiao immediately thought of the young master who had spoken playfully just now and raised her eyebrows.
She thought about it and asked, “That one just now?”
An Nuo nodded. “Him. He’s the young master of the Zheng family. He’s famous for being a playboy.”
When she turned around just now, she saw a boy standing beside Murong Qiao and vaguely felt that he looked familiar. When she leaned closer, she recognized him.
“The Zheng family head finally gained a son at an old age and dotes on him very much. They can’t wait to give him everything,” she said simply. “However, he hasn’t picked up any good habits since young. He didn’t like to study and would only hang out with a few people of the same circle every day.”
After An Nuo said that, Murong Qiao understood why that person was so straightforward just now. He was obviously different from the others who were reserved towards her.
“In that case, it’s a great thing that 1 rejected him.” Murong Qiao smiled.
An Nuo nodded heavily. “It’s good to reject him. He’s always jealous of Xian Yu. If he really enters the entertainment industry, wouldn’t he create havoc?”
At the mention of her Fifth Brother, Xian Yu, Murong Qiao could not help but be surprised.
“He’s jealous of Xian Yu?” Murong Qiao was puzzled.
She had interacted with Fifth Brother for so long, but she had never seen this person appear. The two of them did not look like they knew each other.
An Nuo explained to her, “I don’t remember when it started either. Anyway, he’s always going against Xian Yu. He’s even jealous that he’s so popular as a celebrity.”
“I think he probably didn’t mean it when he told you that he wanted to be an artiste. At most, he just wanted to win and wanted to be more popular than Xian Yu.” At the mention of this, An Nuo immediately added a few words.
This matter wasn’t a secret in the circle. It wasn’t just a day or two that Young Master Zheng and Xian Yu feuded with each other. Before looking for Murong Qiao, Young Master Zheng had already made a fuss several times about going to the entertainment industry to become a celebrity.
Hearing An Nuo’s words, Murong Qiao understood what he was thinking.
It was impossible for him to have a career. He probably wanted to be there to gain celebrity status and compete with Xian Yu. It must be because he saw that so many people liked Xian Yu and couldn’t help but be jealous.
Murong Qiao didn’t know whether to laugh or cry after hearing An Nuo’s words. She didn’t expect this person to have such a thing with her Fifth Brother.
Before she could express her thoughts, she heard An Nuo add confidently.
“He didn’t even look in the mirror to see what he looked like. How could his face compare to Xian Yu’s—no, that’s not right. They can’t be compared at all.” What she said was true.
Thinking of her Fifth Brother’s good-looking and flamboyant face, she stood on An Nuo’s side without thinking.
Murong Qiao couldn’t help but laugh. She turned to look at An Nuo, who said this, and then nodded heavily, obviously agreeing with her..
