266: Chapter 266: Lamb to the Slaughter 266: Chapter 266: Lamb to the Slaughter At nine in the evening, Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi left the Xiangshui Pavilion Villa and walked towards the Shangri-La Hotel.
At that mont, the Shangri-La Hotel was under the supervision of i Hanqing.
This was because i Hanqing was the head of the public relations departnt at Imperial Pictures, and also because i Hanqing had grown up in an orphanage; thus, entrusting the charity dinner to i Hanqing ant she would give it her all!
That evening, Ye Xunhuan was dressed in a black tuxedo, a white shirt at the collar tied with a black bow tie, and a pair of handmade leather shoes.
With his originally decently handso face, he looked like a dashing and graceful young man.
Even Qiu Ruoxi couldn’t help but light up at the sight of Ye Xunhuan in this outfit.
Normally, although Ye Xunhuan wore formal attire, he still exuded a carefree and playboy vibe, unlike the energized spirit he now displayed.
More importantly, at that mont, the aura around Ye Xunhuan had dramatically changed, making him look like a dignified and successful gentleman.
With Ye Xunhuan looking this way, Qiu Ruoxi felt that if he had a convertible sports car, his charm would absolutely be top notch.
“All that glitters is not gold,” probably referred to n like Ye Xunhuan.
In that instant, Qiu Ruoxi understood why he was so keen on working nightclubs before; with just a bit of dressing up, he could easily drive the wealthy and lonely cougars wild!
However, thinking of how Ye Xunhuan often went to nightclubs and fooled around with other won, even going as far as sleeping with them, Qiu Ruoxi felt an indescribable discomfort inside!
Seeing that Qiu Ruoxi had been staring at him ever since he donned this outfit made Ye Xunhuan quite proud inside.
Am I not quite handso?
If I weren’t handso, how could I have Qiu Ruoxi staring at all this ti?
“Wife, do you find quite handso and charming now that your heart is beginning to flutter?” Ye Xunhuan said with a smirk while driving.
“Keep that flutter under control for now, wait till after the dinner, and I’ll satisfy you thoroughly when we get ho!”
Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words, Qiu Ruoxi’s face imdiately flushed, and she quickly turned her head to the side, slightly lacking confidence as she said, “Who…
who’s fluttering?
It looks to like you’re the one fluttering!”
To this, Ye Xunhuan disdainfully curled his lips, “If you weren’t fluttering, would you be dressed so provocatively?”
That night, Qiu Ruoxi wore a tight black evening gown that accentuated her slim and alluring figure.
A cleverly placed black bow tie at the front modestly covered her fair complexion at the chest.
The strapless top of the dress frad her bare smooth shoulders, making them look as pristine as snow.
It was conservatively enticing and left much to the imagination!
“, dressed provocatively?” Qiu Ruoxi’s expression suddenly turned sour.
“What do you think?” Ye Xunhuan gave Qiu Ruoxi a serious look and said, “Look at your dress.
It doesn’t even have straps.
Aren’t you afraid the dress might suddenly fall and expose your boobs?”
Qiu Ruoxi’s pretty face imdiately turned ashen, her eyes nearly shooting flas, as if ready to incinerate Ye Xunhuan to ashes.
But Ye Xunhuan seed oblivious, completely ignoring her!
……
Whether it’s a charity evening or any other high society gathering, such events are often held.
But no matter the event, in high society, everyone’s perception is nearly the sa—that these events are just a ans for them to expand their networks, consolidate business relationships, and strike various deals.
Therefore, Qiu Ruoxi’s organized charity dinner was an event no invited guest would miss.
As for whether they ca genuinely to do charity or had other motives, no one knew.
After Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi arrived at the Shangri-La Hotel and parked the car, they headed towards the banquet hall!
When Qiu Ruoxi and Ye Xunhuan appeared in the carpet-filled hall, the roomful of guests suddenly quieted down, with everyone staring at Qiu Ruoxi, or more precisely, at Ye Xunhuan!
Those invited that evening were all leading figures from both political and business sectors, and they were naturally familiar with Qiu Ruoxi, a strong businesswoman in Jiangzhong City who had comrcial dealings with many of them.
However, none of them recognized Ye Xunhuan who appeared alongside Qiu Ruoxi!
In the hushed environnt, they exchanged glances filled with inquisitive intentions, yet no one knew the origins of Ye Xunhuan.
At that mont, curiosity about Ye Xunhuan’s identity reached its peak among the crowd.
In the business circles of Jiangzhong City, and even throughout the entire coastal region, Qiu Ruoxi was famously known as a cold beauty who never spared words for any man.
Let alone having a man accompanying her at her side at a social gala.
Qiu Ruoxi was well aware of these slight suspicions in others’ minds, but she didn’t offer any explanations and instead walked confidently towards the center of the banquet hall.
As for Ye Xunhuan, to hell with it, let him do whatever he wants.
Ye Xunhuan also understood Qiu Ruoxi’s intentions, but he didn’t mind, preferring the solitude away from her!
Just then, a tall and slender figure appeared in front of Ye Xunhuan, smiling and saying, “Brother Ye!”
Ye Xunhuan was startled, then his gaze fell on Xu Mingzhe, “Brother Xu, you’re here too?”
Over the past few days, Ye Xunhuan had co to understand Xu Mingzhe quite thoroughly.
Qiu Ruoxi hadn’t lied to him, Xu Mingzhe truly was an influential man, enough to make countless people wary.
At the sa ti, Ye Xunhuan also learned why Xu Mingzhe wore so many diamond rings on his fingers.
It turned out that the guy had a hobby, which was to show off, but his style was different from others.
The diamond rings on his hands were ant for won!
Yes, for won.
If he fancied a woman and managed to win her over, he would give her one of the diamond rings from his hand!
Almost every month, Xu Mingzhe’s rings would all be given away, and then by the next month, they would reappear, starting a new round of womanizing.
He played hard!
Ordinary people couldn’t afford to play like this!
“Miss Qiu’s charity event, how could I possibly miss it!” Xu Mingzhe said with a beaming smile, “Brother Ye, Miss Qiu rarely hosts charity events.
Do you know any insider information, could you share so with ?”
Upon hearing Xu Mingzhe’s words, an idea struck Ye Xunhuan.
Damn, you’re practically asking for it, it’s not like I’m trying to fleece you!
As the guests saw Xu Mingzhe and Ye Xunhuan standing together, talking and laughing, their confusion intensified, curious about who this guy really was.
To have Xu Mingzhe himself lower his stature and proactively greet him!
