Chapter 1981: He Was Dissatisfied and Angry
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After choosing her shoes and paying the bill, she walked through the other door of the shop, intending to take a stroll. However, she bumped into someone she thought she wouldn’t see again.
The woman who had just slapped her yesterday was now sitting on a bench trying on shoes.
The two of them looked at each other with disgust.
Ye Qingqiu glanced at the shoes she was trying on. It was a pair of sandals with a crystal chain.
Seeing her, Liang Xuer’s face darkened. She stood up and walked to the full-length mirror to see the effect of the shoes.
!!
“You don’t usually go shopping. Why are you here?”
She didn’t like shopping usually?
This was obviously directed at Ye Qingqiu.
Ye Qingqiu stopped in her tracks and crossed her arms. She turned around in boredom and looked at Liang Xuer through the mirror.
“I followed you here.”
Liang Xuer looked up at her through the mirror.
Ye Qingqiu chuckled. “Is that the answer in your heart?”
Liang Xuer frowned.
Ye Qingqiu glanced at her and turned to pick up a shoe from the display cabinet.
“What does it have to do with you what I’m doing here? With our relationship, there’s no need for us to greet each other. If we don’t like each other, why are you pretending? Don’t you find it disgusting?”
With that, she placed the shoes on the stage.
Liang Xuer’s eyes in the mirror were cold and sinister.
Ye Qingqiu didn’t look at her again and turned to leave.
The two sales assistants beside Liang Xuer looked at each other awkwardly.
Although she had long heard that the two ladies of the Ye family couldn’t get along, she didn’t expect them to be so lazy to pretend outside.
As expected of the young lady who had lived in the Ye family since she was young. No one could imitate her frank and arrogant personality.
Liang Xuer looked at the two sales assistants through the mirror and felt a sense of humiliation.

Taking the elevator, Ye Qingqiu asked calmly, “Where is the banquet tonight?”
Ye Ze, who was following behind her, said, “The Pei family’s villa hotel in Yuhai Bay.”
Ye Qingqiu raised an eyebrow. “You’re quite generous to choose such a place.”
Ye Ze said nothing.
“Is it difficult to enter?”
Ye Ze stood behind her and glanced at her. “I might have to trouble your father to help me find an invitation.”
Ye Qingqiu frowned. “What kind of banquet needs my father to attend?” After a few seconds of silence, she stepped out of the elevator. “Alright.”
She took out her phone and called Ye Jianyun.
When she reached home, Ye Jianyun was already waiting for her on the sofa.
On the coffee table was a black and gold invitation.
Ye Qingqiu smiled and opened the invitation. “Thank you, Daddy.”
Ye Jianyun pursed her lips. “You clearly know where to go, but you’re still causing trouble for yourself. Why are you still going?”
“I’ve never seen such a high-end banquet before. Let’s broaden my horizons.”
Sighing lightly, Ye Jianyun said helplessly, “Stop messing around. Don’t settle your private matters outside.”
“I’m not that unreasonable. I’m just going over to take a look.”
But her words didn’t sound credible.
Seeing that Ye Jianyun had fallen silent, the butler couldn’t help but say,
“Although the Ye family isn’t directly related to the entertainment industry, Sisi can always implicate us from other people’s relationships. The upper-class circle in Ping Cheng City is only so big.”
If the script auction for this banquet was decided, it could directly bring the economy of Ping Cheng to a new height. Not to mention the increase in the average income of the grassroots level, the craftsmanship, costumes, and especially the construction of the film and television base in the various scripts was a considerable investment. Once these behind-the-scenes operations were carried out, it would be related to the Ye family. Therefore, this banquet was especially important.
I heard that Young Master Li wanted to attend this banquet previously, but he wanted to rely on himself… No matter what, he had only managed the company for two years and was still famous in school. It was impossible for him to enter this banquet easily.
To be honest, Ye Qingqiu didn’t think much of this banquet in the beginning. Now that Uncle Ye had mentioned it, she was still too naive and ignorant.
In the end, she looked at Uncle Ye. “Li Tingshen wanted to attend this banquet but was rejected?”
“She can’t even find the door! How can she be rejected?”
Ye Jianyun’s tone was heavy, obviously angry.
Ye Qingqiu frowned and glanced at the invitation in her hand.
How was that possible?
All she had to do was make a phone call.
Uncle Ye understood Ye Qingqiu’s doubts and said,
“Actually, Master has been waiting for Young Master Li to speak to him, but…”
Before she could finish speaking, Ye Qingqiu roughly understood what she meant.
But Li Tingshen didn’t ask his father for help.
Her mind was a little muddled.
Some messy thoughts rushed through her mind like a tangled string.
She didn’t look happy.
Ye Bo observed her expression and said, “That’s why Young Master Li brought Miss Xu’er to the banquet today. Miss, you don’t have to think too much. Come down and wait for Young Master Li’s explanation.”
Ye Qingqiu pursed her lips and said, “I’m a little tired. I’ll go upstairs to rest first.”
The butler and Ye Jianyun watched as she went upstairs.
“Master, are you sure Miss will attend? She smashed Young Master Li’s car yesterday.”
Ye Jianyun frowned. “If I don’t let her go, she will destroy my house silently.”
Ye Bo didn’t reply.
It was hard to say.

At seven in the evening, luxury cars drove through the bustling city towards the hotel.
The beach outside the villa was filled with entertainment, but inside the villa was another world.
The outside was a beach and the inside was a luxurious mansion.
The interior of the villa was well-hidden. Even though it was close to the sea, it felt like a secluded forest.
The car was parked in the parking lot at the side. There was a staff member checking the invitation at the only intersection leading to the hotel. It could be seen that this place was heavily guarded. Without an invitation, those who were interested could not even walk to the hotel.
After handing in the invitation, most of them walked towards the villa with smiles on their faces.
A Maserati sedan drove slowly into the parking lot.
The driver’s door opened first, and a pair of long legs wrapped in a neat suit landed on the ground. Then, a slender figure stood beside the door.
The face in the light was handsome and cold. His long and narrow eyes swept past the front passenger seat. He adjusted his shirt before walking to the front passenger seat and opening the door.
Liang Xuer got out of the car and stood in front of Li Tingshen with a faint smile.
With her long hair and exquisite makeup,
Liang Xuer’s gaze swept across Li Tingshen’s arm. At this moment, someone walked over. Li Tingshen took two steps back and closed the car door.
Disappointed, Liang Xuer crossed her arms and followed Li Tingshen with her bag.
When she handed in her invitation card, Liang Xuer suddenly reached out to hold Li Tingshen’s arm.
The two staff members who were checking the invitation glanced at the two of them and bowed to welcome them before letting them in.
Liang Xuer held her breath and focused on Li Tingshen, afraid that he would show impatience or anger.
But when they reached the banquet hall of the hotel, he was as normal as usual.
Looking at her hand on his again, the stiff smile on his face relaxed completely.
The two of them appeared at the banquet together. The young couple seemed a little out of place.
How many people had fought for half their lives to have the right to appear here? How many people had sacrificed their youth and bodies? They were all people who had struggled in society for a long time. How could they compare to them?
She was stunned and felt unbalanced.
Some people were born to stand on their heads.
Some people were born with a higher starting point.
However, shouldn’t that young man be the little princess’s boyfriend?
Why was she here with another woman?
After a moment of silence, the lively atmosphere returned.
However, in some people’s words, Ye Qingqiu, the pampered princess of Ping Cheng City, was mentioned.
Qin Jianjia, who had been waiting for Liang Xuer in the corner, walked over immediately.
“Student Liang!”
The smile on Liang Xuer’s face froze. She tightened her grip on Li Tingshen’s arm and moved closer to him.
Qin Jianjia’s face darkened and her gaze landed on Li Tingshen.
They were in the same grade but had different majors. Moreover, not only their school, but the entire Ping Cheng City knew that he was dating Ye Qingqiu.
She just didn’t understand why he let go of the arrogant Miss Ye today and came with Liang Xuer.
Liang Xuer was the woman he was pursuing now. In order to please her, he had given her an invitation. In the end, she didn’t remember him at all. However, she entered with another man’s arm.
The unwillingness and foppishness that was suppressed in his body rose faintly.
Even Liang Xuer couldn’t stand Qin Hao’s disrespectful gaze. She calmed herself down and smiled before shifting Qin Hao’s gaze.
“Young Master Qin, thank you for your invitation today. If not for you, I wouldn’t have had the chance to meet so many famous directors and actors…”
Any man would want to be admired by a woman.
Qin Miao was obviously pleased.
“This is just the beginning. Come, I’ll introduce you to them.”
With that, Qin Hao walked closer to them.
Liang Xuer held Li Tingshen’s arm and instinctively wanted to dodge, but Li Tingshen didn’t move.
Qin Hao walked closer and his gaze landed on Li Tingshen. A few seconds later, he suddenly smiled and placed his hands in his pockets arrogantly.
“Why did you come with Xu’er?”
‘Xu’er?’
Li Tingshen narrowed his eyes with a faint smile.
He was the only gentleman with an indifferent and refined smile.
“The atmosphere here isn’t good. It’s dangerous for a girl to come here alone. After all, she’s her… Brother, we can’t let her come alone.”
The word ‘brother’ pierced Liang Xuer’s heart.
Aunt Lian had asked him to protect her. It would be best if Qin Hao died and pestered her.
Now that he called her brother, this identity had nothing to do with Qin Hao pestering her.
Qin Jianjia paused and turned to look at Liang Xuer. Something flashed across her mind and she blinked unnaturally.
Surprisingly, she didn’t speak.
Li Tingshen turned his head to look at Liang Xuer and said calmly, “It’s rare to have this opportunity. Why don’t you go with him to meet some seniors?”
Liang Xuer hesitated. “… What about you?”
“I’m just strolling around. As long as you don’t leave the banquet hall, I’ll definitely be within your sight.”
Li Tingshen’s voice was low and gentle.
Liang Xuer hesitated for a moment before letting go of Li Tingshen’s arm.
Qin Jianjia hurried forward and bent her arm to face Liang Xuer. Liang Xuer thought for a while and grabbed his arm.
Qin Jianjia smiled. Before she left with Liang Xuer, she took another look at Li Tingshen.
After taking a few steps, Liang Xuer turned her head worriedly. Seeing that Li Tingshen was still standing there and smiling at her, she relaxed and smiled at him.
At this moment, a waiter walked past Li Tingshen with a tray with wine glasses and accidentally touched his arm.
Liang Xuer sighed softly. The waiter had already bowed to Li Tingshen with his back facing her.
Seeing Li Tingshen shake his head calmly, Liang Xuer turned her head.
Qin Jianjia walked into the crowd with Liang Xuer. “Student Ye, you’re very beautiful today. This is the first time I’ve seen you dressed like this. You’re… very different from my impression of you.”
The smile on Liang Xuer’s face froze. “…Thank you.”
As Qin Miao walked, he turned to look at Liang Xuer, his gaze undisguised.
Liang Xuer frowned uncomfortably, but Qin Miao’s voice sounded again. “Come, Xu’er, this is Director Su, the director of the stage play ‘The Tea Lady’. You should know.”
Liang Xuer snapped back to reality and looked at the white-haired man excitedly.
“Hello, Director Su. I’m a new actress and I like ‘The Tea Lady’.”
Qin Hao stopped the waiter and ordered two glasses of wine.
The waiter lowered the tray and handed two wine glasses to Qin Jianjia.
Qin Hao picked up a cup and handed it to Liang Xuer.
Li Tingshen retracted his gaze and walked to the corner closest to the door. He looked at all the beautiful people at the banquet calmly.
Under the skin of a beautiful gentleman, there was a dirty heart.
Everyone was.
Including him.
Liang Xuer seemed to have been led away by Qin Hao. From her attitude, one could tell that she was very happy.
She really liked dramas.
*
She slept soundly in the afternoon and woke up a little late. It was getting late after she got dressed and put on her makeup.
Not long after the banquet started, Ye Ze parked the car and Ye Qingqiu handed the invitation to the staff.
Just as she was about to let her in, Ye Ze’s voice sounded from behind. “Miss, do you want me to go in with you?”
Ye Qingqiu glanced at him and smiled. “Brother Ye Ze, you’re very handsome today.”
Ye Ze didn’t know why she would suddenly praise him, but he had an answer the next second.
Ye Qingqiu said, “What if you appear with me and others misunderstand that you’re my boyfriend?”
The smile on her lips widened. “He’s here too. Even if he doesn’t misunderstand, others will gossip. This will embarrass him.”
Ye Ze frowned. “He brought Liang Xuer along to attend. Speaking of gossip, I’m afraid you’re already the one who’s being gossiped about. If that’s the case, you’ll be the only one embarrassed if you appear alone.”
Ye Ze’s words were filled with emotions.
He was unhappy and angry.
Ye Qingqiu was surprised.
