202: Chapter 202: If you don’t get out of the way, I’ll beat you up!
Lin Ruoxue, accompanied by her eldest daughter Dongfang Rushi, arrived to represent Dongfang Leiming and the Dongfang Family, greeting and chatting with various guests.
As for Dongfang Leiming, the host, and Dongfang Ruhua, the focal point of this birthday celebration, they would appear at the main stage in the north side of the grand hall when the birthday party officially began.
The mother-daughter duo wove their way among hundreds of guests, with Dongfang Rushi always maintaining a serene deanor.
No matter who she spoke with, her words were concise and precious, treating each one like gold.
Lin Ruoxue, on the other hand, bead with smiles, exuding charm from every angle, and managed to exchange a few pleasant words with every guest.
“After a year without seeing Dongfang Rushi, she has beco even more beautiful and possesses an even greater air of elegance.
The First Beauty of Yanjing truly lives up to her na!”
Upon seeing Dongfang Rushi, Qin Yaorao’s gaze lingered on her for a long ti.
She secretly compared herself to Rushi and found that she fell short in terms of presence.
Fang Bai was also watching Dongfang Rushi, his eyes filled with admiration and wonder.
He found that this woman, known as “The First Beauty of Yanjing” and the “Business Prodigy Lady of Huaxia,” was dazzling and eye-catching without any makeup on, effortlessly exuding a commanding aura just by standing there.
Fang Bai didn’t even need to “read the bones” to assert that Dongfang Rushi possessed an Innate Spiritual Root, a rare talent for cultivation.
“Lu Jianfeng, you stand no chance with Su Linglong, and you dare not pursue Tang Wenrou, so is Dongfang Rushi your target?” Qin Yaorao asked softly, noticing that Lu Jianfeng couldn’t take his eyes off Dongfang Rushi.
Lu Jianfeng nodded, “Yes, what do you think?”
Qin Yaorao replied, “In terms of family background, you and Dongfang Rushi are well matched, very suitable.
However, can you tolerate her indifferent personality toward everyone?”
Lu Jianfeng chuckled, “Her aloofness may just be a facade.
I’ve t many won who seem cool as water on the surface but are actually passionate inside…
Anyway, my new target is Dongfang Rushi!”
Qin Yaorao gestured with her mouth towards Dongfang Rushi and said, “To win over Dongfang Rushi, you’ll face many strong competitors.
It won’t be easy!”
At that mont, around Dongfang Rushi, more than a dozen young n had gathered.
These were all from prominent clans, each eagerly trying to lavish attention on her.
Scanning the suitors flocking around Dongfang Rushi, Lu Jianfeng declared with high spirits, “I don’t give a damn about those pampered young masters!
Just watch, by this ti next year, Dongfang Rushi will beco my girlfriend and your sister-in-law!”
Qin Yaorao laughed and said, “Don’t brag too soon!
As far as I know, ever since Dongfang Rushi’s coming-of-age ceremony two years ago, many n have launched their romantic campaigns, but not a single one has caught her eye.
Do you think you’re better than her other admirers?”
Lu Jianfeng patted his chest confidently, “Nobody has caught her eye because she hasn’t t the right person yet!
Maybe I, Lu Jianfeng, am her destined one!”
Qin Yaorao replied, “Fine then, oh destined one, go save your princess!
Look at her, surrounded by a crowd of n, unable to escape!”
“You two keep chatting, I’m off to pursue my true love!”
Saying this, Lu Jianfeng strode towards Dongfang Rushi.
Dongfang Rushi was encircled by a layer of wealthy young n, all eagerly trying to strike up a conversation with her, and Lu Jianfeng, unable to breach the human wall to reach her, began pacing around in frustration, scratching his head and turning in circles.
Watching Lu Jianfeng from a distance, Qin Yaorao and Fang Bai couldn’t help but chuckle.
Suddenly, two female guests approached and struck up a conversation with Qin Yaorao.
With nothing better to do, Fang Bai was about to sit at a dining table in the hall when he noticed Tang Wenrou once again being pestered by Shen Huanian at a distance.
Tang Wenrou was chatting with a friend she was on good terms with when Shen Huanian brazenly inserted himself between them, eagerly striking up a conversation with Tang Wenrou.
Noticing this, Tang Wenrou’s friend tactfully excused himself.
Tang Wenrou furrowed her brows tightly, and a chilliness spread across her pretty face.
She argued with Shen Huanian in a hushed tone for a few sentences, looking both angry and helpless.
No matter the ti or place, Tang Wenrou was always in her police uniform, which clashed with the atmosphere of the birthday party and made her stick out in the crowd.
Fang Bai stepped up to the two, his face expressionless as he spoke to Shen Huanian, “Shen, you’re pestering my girlfriend again!
I’m giving you three seconds to scram, or I’ll beat you.
One… two…”
“You…”
Shen Huanian hadn’t expected to encounter Fang Bai in such a setting; his pupils shrank and his face paled slightly.
He knew that Fang Bai was a martial artist who practiced ancient martial arts and that his combat power was formidable.
Though his bodyguards were also in the banquet hall, they were no match for Fang Bai.
If a conflict arose, he would definitely be the one to suffer the consequences.
So when Fang Bai counted to two, Shen Huanian glared at him resentfully and turned to leave.
“I am a person of status and cultivation; I won’t stoop to arguing with a rash warrior!”
This was how Shen Huanian consoled himself as he left.
“Now it’s quiet.”
Watching Shen Huanian walk away, Fang Bai turned to face Tang Wenrou, smiling as he spoke, “Officer Tang, I’ve chased off an annoying fly for you.
How will you thank ?”
“How do you want to thank you?”
Tang Wenrou, her gaze intense, asked Fang Bai in return.
Fang Bai said, “Just toast with a few drinks when the banquet starts!”
“Fine!”
Tang Wenrou nodded, glanced over at Su Linglong, and asked lightly, “Did you and Su Linglong co together?”
Fang Bai answered, “She asked to co with her, so here I am, acting as her bodyguard on the way.”
Tang Wenrou uttered an “Oh” and for so reason, suddenly felt her mood sour.
She stopped talking and stared blankly at the stage ahead, lost in thought.
A mont later, Hua Yi of the Hua Family from Zhongzhou approached Fang Bai to make conversation.
Hua Yi and Fang Bai had clashed before, leading to a punishnt from his clan elders.
Later, the Hua Family Patriarch Hua Chun proactively sought to make ands with Fang Bai, resolving the conflict between them.
This taught Hua Yi that Fang Bai was not soone to provoke.
Not only did Fang Bai possess extraordinary strength, but he also had miraculous dical skills, which even Hua Chun deeply admired.
Hua Yi knew he was far inferior to Fang Bai in both martial arts and dical skills, so he didn’t dare to assu a haughty or arrogant attitude in Fang Bai’s presence, instead adopting a humble expression.
Hua Chun had specifically instructed the younger generation of the Hua Family, including Hua Yi, to always treat Fang Bai with the utmost respect whenever they encountered him, to avoid offending him at all costs.
In Hua Chun’s words, Fang Bai’s future as a dical practitioner might even surpass the Four Great National Doctors.
Befriending him would only benefit the future of the Hua Family.
