Xie Weiyi was stunned for a moment, then let out a bizarre, resentful laugh.
"This world has really become magical, one after another clamoring, claiming Sheng Qianxia is their woman. Sheng Qianxia, why don't you just tell us, how many men do you actually have?"
"What's all this noise about?" Xie Weiyi's father, Xie Xian, came upon hearing the commotion.
Xie Weiyi sneered, "It's nothing, just shooing away a 'public bus' who knows no shame."
"Who dares to touch my daughter's man? Tired of living, are they!?" Xie Xian said coldly.
"It's her—" Xie Weiyi pointed at Sheng Qianxia.
When Xie Xian looked towards Sheng Qianxia, his gaze landed on the man beside her.
Gong Beiyao gave a cold smile.
Xie Xian nearly dropped to his knees when he saw Gong Beiyao's face.
The sinister expression on Xie Xian's face instantly turned into shock!
"Gong—young master Gong—I never expected you to attend my daughter and son-in-law's engagement banquet, it's really an honor our Xie Family has cultivated over three lifetimes! Please, have a seat up high, please have a seat!"
Gong—young master?
In City A, there was only one Gong family, known to all.
And only one person who would be called young master Gong.
That was the elusive bigwig of legend.
Everything about him was steeped in dreamy allure.
They say everyone who saw him went crazy for him, yet gossip about him was always nil!
Such a celibate idol, whose popularity far surpassed international superstars, had become the dream/lover of women across Asia!
Legend had it that countless women exhausted all their tricks daily to catch a glimpse of him, yet none could ever earn so much as a sideways glance.
And few had truly seen him in person.
All anyone knew was that his name was Gong Beiyao, the sole heir to the Gong Group.
He held the reins over half of Asia's economic lifeline, untouchable, and dared not to be provoked by anyone!
Because of Xie Weiyi's father's familiarity with the Gong family, he had thrived in City A.
Having heard that Gong Beiyao had recently returned to the country, Xie Xian had gone to great lengths to offer him an invitation, not daring to dream he would actually come.
Xie Xian had been so busy making arrangements, anxiously waiting outside to welcome his presence.
Unexpectedly, Gong Beiyao was already at the banquet site, and Xie Weiyi had managed to offend him!
Xie Xian's reaction undoubtedly revealed that Gong Beiyao was out of reach and inviolable.
Everyone was dumbfounded—
This man was the great young master of the Gong family—Gong Beiyao!?
This seemingly low-profile and mysterious figure, who was no less than a demigod of the Gong family in the eyes of the outside world.
Because he was so low-key, no one could have imagined that such a prominent figure would stand up for Sheng Qianxia!
Gong Beiyao said coldly to Xie Xian, "There's no need for that seat, your daughter does not welcome me."
Xie Xian was startled, then slapped Xie Weiyi across the face with the back of his hand.
Xie Weiyi was bewildered on the spot.
Without giving her a chance to respond, Xie Xian forcefully pressed her head down, demanding that she apologize to Gong Beiyao.
"What are you hesitating for, hurry up and apologize to young master Gong!"
Xie Weiyi could feel Xie Xian's hand trembling.
Was Gong Beiyao really that frightening?
Not daring to defy her father, she belatedly came to her senses and apologized.
"Gong… young master Gong, I'm sorry."
Then, Xie Xian respectfully picked up the check for two million that Gong Beiyao had flung at Xie Weiyi and instructed Xie Weiyi to return it.
Seeing how noble and astonishingly handsome Gong Beiyao was, Xie Weiyi couldn't help but take a few more glances at him.
If Gong Beiyao stood up for Sheng Qianxia, wouldn't it be even better to snatch him away and further humiliate Sheng Qianxia?
