The Supreme Martial Expert of the Female CEO Chapter 1803: 1800: Invitation

Capítulo 1803: Chapter 1800: Invitation

After a round of insincere pleasantries, Head of Cheng Family engaged in deeper discussion with other collaborators, while Guild President Dao Chengzi smiled and said, “Head of Cheng Family, isn’t it inappropriate to let your niece stay with us old folks? Young people have their own ways to have fun, so let’s not have her mingling with us old folks!”

Head of Cheng Family smiled, then said to Cheng Minxue, “Xiaoxue, you go have fun, I have more to discuss with your uncles and elders!”

Cheng Minxue nodded, “Then I’ll head back to my room later!”

“Alright!”

…

Cheng Minxue is often dubbed the Iceberg Goddess of Canglan Comrce, largely due to her cool and aloof deanor that makes her appear unapproachable.

She sat quietly on the side, watching the lively party, feeling as if she belonged to another world.

“Sigh, I should just go chat with Big Brother Feng!” Cheng Minxue thought to herself, “After all, Big Brother Feng is humorous and interesting, while the people here are just too boring. I wonder how that audacious monkey is doing!”

In their previous conversations, Ling Feng had told Cheng Minxue the story of Journey to the West, and although he only reached the part where the Great Sage Equalling Heaven established his stronghold at Huaguo Mountain and accepted Heaven’s amnesty, it already captivated Cheng Minxue.

Moreover, what made Cheng Minxue feel comfortable was Ling Feng had no other intentions towards her; his gaze was rely appreciative, unlike other n of her age.

“Miss Cheng Minxue, why are you drinking alone here?” At this mont, a poised young man sat beside Cheng Minxue and said with a smile.

Cheng Minxue glanced lightly at the man, “Li Zhiyuan, do you need sothing?”

Li Zhiyuan swirled his wine glass and said, “I noticed the fair lady seems troubled, and I just wanted to help ease her worries…”

“Boring!” Before Li Zhiyuan could finish, Cheng Minxue said blandly, “Not disturbing is the greatest help you can provide!”

Li Zhiyuan’s mouth twitched; it turned out Cheng Minxue was indeed as cold as the rumors said.

“Xiaoxue, saying that makes quite sad. After all, we are all from the Five Great Families of Canglan Comrce, and should be allies through thick and thin, shouldn’t we?” Li Zhiyuan said with a smile, “Being so cold won’t be beneficial for the Cheng family in the future!”

Cheng Minxue felt a bit helpless; she didn’t like Li Zhiyuan because he was a notorious playboy. Even though Cheng Minxue paid little attention to him, rumors of his many affairs constantly reached her ears.

“Sorry, I don’t want to change my personality for others!” Cheng Minxue said flatly.

Li Zhiyuan’s eyes lit up, “You’re truly an independent girl. How about joining us for a chat? Besides , there are other mbers from the other three families, and this would mark the first gathering of the younger generation of the Five Great Families!”

Cheng Minxue furrowed her brow, following Li Zhiyuan’s gaze, she saw Zuo Yuqi from the Zuo Family, Xiao Yunteng from the Xiao Family, and Tian Qiyun from the Tian Clan. They were all direct lineage heirs of their respective families!

Cheng Minxue hesitated for a mont. Since Li Zhiyuan represented the young mbers of the other four families inviting her, refusing would make her seem out of place!

Although Cheng Minxue disliked these family scions, as a mber of Canglan Comrce, Cheng Minxue was also willing to make so compromises.

“Alright, let’s go over and chat!” Cheng Minxue said, “But I haven’t been feeling well lately, so I won’t be drinking!”

“It doesn’t matter if you don’t drink, after all, as young mbers of the Five Great Families, it’s good for us to communicate more!” Li Zhiyuan chuckled, then led Cheng Minxue over.

Zuo Yuqi observed as the two approached, and with a playful tone said, “Xiao Yunteng, your idea isn’t bad at all; Cheng Minxue actually ca over.”

“No matter how proud Cheng Minxue is, she is still part of the Five Great Families of Canglan Comrce. She might not care about any individual, but if all of us four families’ young mbers invite her, holding herself aloof would be wrong!” Xiao Yunteng said with a smile as he twirled his wine glass.

“Walking in the martial world, we’re often compelled by circumstances!” Tian Qiyun chuckled, “Of course, Cheng Minxue can’t offend the masses, or her father wouldn’t let her off either!”

“We might as well take this opportunity to find out who that middle-aged man close to her is!” Zuo Yuqi licked his lips and said, “If he really is Cheng Minxue’s lover, then she has quite an extraordinary taste, liking soone of her uncle’s generation!”

These three whispered among themselves, and as Li Zhiyuan and Cheng Minxue arrived, they stopped talking, greeting Cheng Minxue with warm smiles.

“Miss Cheng Minxue, it’s not easy getting an invitation to see you!” Xiao Yunteng smiled and said, “If I recall correctly, this is the first gathering of the direct lineage heirs of the Five Great Families, right?”

Zuo Yuqi laughed and said, “Indeed, this is quite rare. Shall we drink to our first gathering?”

As he spoke, Zuo Yuqi raised his glass, and the others followed suit.

Cheng Minxue frowned slightly; she really didn’t want to drink with these people.

Seeing that only Cheng Minxue hadn’t raised her glass, Tian Qiyun chuckled, “Does Miss Cheng have any objections to us?”

Before Cheng Minxue could speak, Li Zhiyuan quickly said, “Before coming, Miss Cheng ntioned to that she hasn’t been feeling well and can’t drink!”

“That’s a letdown!” Zuo Yuqi shrugged and said, “But this wine is full of Vital Energy; it’s supposed to be good for the body.”

Cheng Minxue smiled slightly, “It’s not that serious, I’ve just never really liked drinking.”

“Then Miss Cheng, feel free, the rest of us will drink up!” Xiao Yunteng quickly said.

The four n drank heartily, and Cheng Minxue reluctantly took a sip before putting her glass down.

“By the way, have you heard? At the upcoming Purple Cloud Star auction, there’s supposedly an item called the Eternal Heart!” Xiao Yunteng said.

Tian Qiyun paused and asked, “Eternal Heart? The legendary Eternal Heart that, when worn by two people, makes them fall in eternal love?”

Zuo Yuqi said disdainfully, “Oh, co on, such things fool layn. There’s no real Eternal Heart in this world! It’s all just hype unless you guys didn’t know!”

“Our families are all in comrce, so we’re well aware of these little tricks. However, this Eternal Heart is said to be different, and there’s a high chance that it’s real!” Xiao Yunteng said seriously.
