Shi Che had never been particularly fond of such social gatherings. He only symbolically clinked glasses with a few long-term partners and took a sip of his drink, then stood there calmly.
Even if Shi Che stood there quietly, drinking his wine, his aura still dominated the room, becoming the focal point. From time to time, people approached to chat him up or curry favor, but Shi Che merely responded with a lukewarm smile, maintaining a detached posture and elegant demeanor.
Zheng Rourou stood beside Shi Che, feeling the gaze of the crowd as if all the lights focused on her. She couldn't help but lift her head and puff out her chest, enjoying the intense envy and jealousy cast by the other women.
Ji Xinxin was also invited to the banquet tonight. Because she was delayed in the afternoon, she arrived a bit late. However, as soon as she entered, she immediately noticed Shi Che, and of course, the stunning beauty beside him.
This beauty now stood with her head held high, pretending to survey the surroundings with an air of superiority. It was particularly jarring.
Ji Xinxin had already felt a stomach full of anger towards this beauty in the afternoon, and now seeing her, it was like a narrow escape between enemies.
Ji Xinxin coldly curved her lips into a sneer. She picked up a glass of champagne from the waiter's tray and then walked towards Shi Che.
Ji Xinxin was the Heavenly Empress of the entertainment circle and the leading lady of the Emperor Group. Naturally, she was a breathtaking beauty. As she walked over, the attention originally focused on Zheng Rourou shifted entirely to Ji Xinxin, causing Zheng Rourou to frown sharply.
When beauties meet, their aura often clashes, and Zheng Rourou was no exception, especially since Ji Xinxin was so stunning and captivating.
Ji Xinxin stopped in front of Shi Che, raised her champagne glass, and smiled at him, "Young Master Shi, long time no see. Oh wait, now you are President Shi."
When Shi Che saw Ji Xinxin, his eyebrows moved slightly, then he raised his champagne glass and clinked it with Ji Xinxin's, his voice indifferent, "Long time no see."
Ji Xinxin didn't reply further. Instead, her gaze suddenly fell on Zheng Rourou, casually assessing her before giving a contemptuous smile. "It's been so long, President Shi. How did your taste become so tacky? Even such beautiful clothes can't wrap around a person's aura."
Although Ji Xinxin didn't mention her by name, anyone could tell that she was mocking Zheng Rourou. Already upset with Ji Xinxin for stealing the spotlight, Zheng Rourou restrained her anger and maintained a hint of a smile, "Who are you talking about?"
"Whoever responds is who!" Ji Xinxin replied lightly, causing Zheng Rourou's expression to immediately falter, her gaze suddenly darkening, "You!"
