Chapter 480 - Provocation

Many guests had attended the party tonight, mostly wealthy businessmen and well-known people nearby. Many had brought their daughters along too.

After all, everyone knew the ulterior purpose of such occasions without having to say it aloud.

Furthermore, it would be a blessing to get an outstanding husband or son-in-law like Mo Bonan.

Therefore, there were quite a great number of young ladies of various kinds at the banquet, their ages ranging from teens to thirties.

The girls were all dressed to the nines in their most striking dresses and styles.

In comparison, Xia Xibei and Tang Luo’s styles seemed much simpler.

After meeting Mo Bonan’s parents, all they wanted was to find a personal spot and chill.

“Events like this aren’t really entertaining,” Xia Xibei pouted.

Tang Luo chuckled, “I agree with you.”

There was a profound, intriguing look in his eyes.

It was better to be bored than to put up with all sorts of mockery and humiliation.

“Let’s go have some food,” Xia Xibei pointed at the long stretch of banquet tables in the distance. The wide assortment of food on the tables seemed extremely appealing.

“Sure.”

Right as they held the plates in their hands, they heard a commotion some distance away.

It stunned them a little when they turned around to look.

“Zhang Yiqi is here too?”

Standing beside Zhang Yiqi was Xia Qinghan and another beautiful young lady.

Xia Xibei couldn’t help but raise her brows when she saw the lady’s face clearly.

Li Weiyun?

Shouldn’t Li Weiyun be in the capital? How did she get here?

Li Weiyun had a tall, slender build, dressed in an elegant blue cheongsam. She looked charming and sophisticated.

With her chin slightly raised and her back straight, she gave off a dignified aura that was unique to members of noble families.

Her lips were curled into a reserved smile, drawing a great deal of attention as she passed.

“Zhang Yiqi, Xia Qinghan... They’re all here?” Tang Luo looked distraught.

He didn’t feel like seeing them here at all, it would ruin the vibes.

“Nevermind, don’t bother them.” Xia Xibei turned, ignoring them completely.

According to their plan, they would be on their way in another half an hour. It was better to spend time with cats and dogs at home than to deal with these boring, ill-intentioned people.

Tang Luo also turned away, pretending that they were non-existent.

Too bad, luck clearly wasn’t on their side. Even though they paid no attention to those people, they insisted on harassing them.

“Aren’t they Ms. Xia and Mr. Tang?”

Zhang Yiqi hurried over to them with a strange smile, “Why are you guys eating by yourselves in the corner? Haven’t you eaten?”

“We have,” Xia Xibei replied with nonchalance while shooting a glance at Li Weiyun and Xia Qinghan, who followed behind Zhang Yiqi.

“You have?” Zhang Yiqi chortled, clasping her mouth with a hand. “I thought you guys didn’t have food at home!”

The amount of food on their plates made them look like starving fugitives.

Xia Xibei raised her brows at her teasing, then replied without much inflection, “Can’t help it, we’re still growing, Eating more helps increase height and chest size.”

Zhang Yiqi’s face became distorted upon sustaining the brutal blow.

Tang Luo quickly turned around to prevent spitting out his food.

Xia Xibei was a true savage!

But Zhang Yiqi was undeniably an idiot. She had no one to blame but herself for inviting this humiliation to herself.

“You...”

“Qiqi.”

Xia Qinghan grabbed Zhang Yiqi to stop her from losing her temper.

They didn’t come here today to pick a fight with Tang Luo and Xia Xibei.

Zhang Yiqi’s face twitched as Xia Qinghan pulled her, but she managed to hold herself back at last.

Somehow, she tended to lose her temper whenever she met the two of them.

“Xia Xibei, let me introduce you to-”

Xia Xibei grabbed Tang Luo and strode off right away, showing them her disgust with practical action.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“It’s so annoying, we can’t even eat in peace now.”

The three girls’ faces fell.
