Chapter 536

~7 min read 1,333 words

This woman is the protagonist of this banquet, the distinguished guest the Tang family wants to entertain, Ms. An Hui Xian.

"Ms. An, I've lost my welcome."

Tang Bingyan and Xu Tian greeted her together.

"Sorry, I was delayed by traffic on the way." An Hui Xian tidied the broken hair by her ear and smiled apologetically at Tang Bingyan.

Immediately after, she noticed Tang Bingyan's hand actively holding Xu Tian's arm. She raised her eyebrows in surprise and looked at Xu Tian up and down slightly.

"Tang Zong, don't you introduce me?"

"Ms. An, he is my boyfriend Xu Tian." Tang Bingyan said.

"Ms. An, hello." Xu Tian nodded at An Hui Xian with great demeanor.

"Mr. Xu?" An Hui Xian seemed to have thought of something and said with a faint smile, "I said Tang Zong's changes during this time are not small. Before in the Western Alliance, she finished a week's work in two days, eager to return home. It turns out she made a boyfriend."

Liang Yuan, not far away, saw Xu Tian and Ms. An chatting and laughing, and turned to Gu Beicheng in a fit of rage: "Beicheng Ge, will you just let that pretty boy swagger through the streets? He is just a plaything, and he really treats himself as the master of the Tang family? I think Ms. An is just giving Tang Bingyan face to deal with him, but he really thinks he is how great!"

"Liang Yuan, you are too impatient."

Gu Beicheng was still that calm and generous look, as if nothing could make him lose his composure.

However, when he looked at Xu Tian, a flash of cold light flashed in his eyes.

The position of the master of the Tang family should be his, and Tang Bingyan is also his, and can only be his!

"Beicheng!"

Just at this time, a tall and thin young man walked out of the crowd and came straight to Gu Beicheng.

"Feifan, long time no see!" Gu Beicheng smiled and nodded at the visitor.

Unlike other guests wearing Western-style dresses, the visitor wore a retro Chinese Tang suit, and a string of sandalwood prayer beads that had already been polished was worn on his left wrist.

Facing such a different dress, the guests present had no surprise, as if they were already used to it.

This man is Lu Feifan, the heir of the Lu family.

The ancestors of the Lu family were martial generals, and they are a well-known martial arts family in Huaxia. Their family's bloodline has continued for nearly a thousand years.

Many elders in their family hold important positions in special departments, and he, as the successor of the next generation of the Lu family, naturally also practiced martial arts diligently since childhood, dabbled in Sinology, and his dress and appearance are also in the traditional style of Huaxia.

The Lu family and the Gu family have been family friends since their ancestors, so Gu Beicheng and Lu Feifan have been brothers since childhood.

"I was originally not interested in this kind of boring banquet, but I heard you were here, so I came over to reminisce with you. We haven't seen each other for a few days."

Lu Feifan said, looking at the direction of Tang Bingyan and Xu Tian with a disdainful pout.

"Is that the pretty boy beside Tang Bingyan? I think he just relies on his good skin and is fearless. In fact, he is a straw bag and is not worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as you."

Seeing Lu Feifan, Liang Yuan approached him like meeting a bosom friend and echoed: "Brother Feifan, this is the pretty boy who has been pestering Tang Bingyan. He is just a poor kid with nothing, and he still dreams of becoming the Tang family's son-in-law. He doesn't even look in the mirror to see if he is worthy!"

"Tang Bingyan was also fascinated by that pretty boy's fawning face of being low and small. She actually brought him along for such an important occasion to entertain Ms. An. Isn't this losing face for the Tang family!"

"Hmph!" Lu Feifan looked at Xu Tian again and pouted.

"I was originally curious about what kind of man Tang Bingyan liked, but I didn't expect it to be such a spineless person who relies on flowery words to get ahead. It really disappointed me."

"Clearly he has hands and feet, but he insists on eating soft rice. He is definitely a disgrace among men. I estimate that Tang Bingyan is just greedy for freshness for a while. Before long, she will understand that the only one truly qualified to stand shoulder to shoulder with her is you, Beicheng!"

"I don't think so." Liang Yuan snorted coldly, "Tang Bingyan is fascinated by this kid, and even went against the opinions of the Tang family elders for him. I really feel it's not worth it for Beicheng."

"Beicheng, you are the heir of the Gu family, with first-class business means, both civil and martial, and talented. How can you be more qualified to be the Tang family's son-in-law than that pretty boy? But you are tolerant of him everywhere. If it were me, I would definitely find someone to teach that kid a lesson!"

Lu Feifan shook his head helplessly upon hearing this and said: "So this is the gap between you and Beicheng. Our Beicheng is what kind of identity, there is no need to lower his status to deal with this kind of man living off a woman. Such a person is not bad as a plaything for entertainment, the Tang family cannot let him marry Tang Bingyan."

Gu Beicheng's eyes were dim.

Tang Bingyan and Xu Tian are secretly married, and have always claimed to be boyfriend and girlfriend to the outside world. Except for a small number of high-level Tang family members and him who know the inside story, outsiders are not clear.

Although he didn't know why the two didn't make their relationship public, for him, this matter is naturally the fewer people who know, the better.

"Brother Feifan, you and Brother Beicheng can really hold your breath, but you are right. Like Xu Tian, this pretty boy is really not qualified to enter the Tang family, he is not even worthy of being a son-in-law!"

"Alright, no need to put your mind on him."

Gu Beicheng turned to look at Lu Feifan, lowered his voice and said: "Feifan, how about the matter I discussed with you on the phone before, is there any progress?"

"Of course, can you still not rest assured that I do things? As long as you arrange it here, I can let my father hold a ring competition. It just so happens that my father has always wanted to make friends with Ms. An and the An family behind her. It is just a chance to kill two birds with one stone."

Gu Beicheng said: "That's good, I will call you when I confirm it here."

"No problem, I will go back and tell my father." Lu Feifan waved his hand, "If there is nothing else, I will go first. I feel nauseous when I see that pretty boy!"

After Lu Feifan finished speaking, he walked straight out of the banquet hall. After he left, Gu Beicheng straightened his tie and walked to An Hui Xian's side and said gently: "Ms. An!"

"Gu Xiansheng, we meet again!"

An Hui Xian's attitude after seeing Gu Beicheng was less diplomatic, and unlike the pleasantries with Xu Tian before, it was obviously much more enthusiastic.

"Do you like the calligraphy and painting I sent you before? I entrusted a relationship to collect it from a master of traditional Chinese painting."

"Gu Xiansheng has a heart. I hung the painting you sent me in the study, and occasionally called friends to watch it together. They are all very interested in classical calligraphy and painting."
