Chapter 551: Annual Elite Drama_1

Most importantly, the man beside Qiao Qiao was dashing and handsome, captivatingly aloof, and utterly elegant.

What was going on here?

Everyone could smell the scent of juicy gossip; they started whispering until someone stated that the alluring man was the low-key ye Shiqing, who never dated. Upon hearing this, the influence of their chatter greatly escalated.

Not mentioning the onlookers who were eagerly hoping for a grand spectacle, even the Ye family was taken aback.

If it were not for the patriarch of the Ye family’s birthday, he would have already gone forward to seek the truth from the parties involved.

Mu Ge was also taken aback, she asked Ye Rong, “Didn’t our son mention bringing his girlfriend home? His girlfriend isn’t Xiaoqiao, is it?”

Good heavens, this was developing into something huge.

Ye Rong turned grave, looking at the chatting and laughing Ye Shiqing and Qiao Qiao off in the distance, chastised, “This is simply inappropriate!”

As Ye Shiqing and Qiao Qiao made their entrance, he quickly recognized that the woman ye Shiqing was seeing was indeed Qiao Qiao; her silhouette was unmistakable.

“Don’t get mad just yet, let’s ask our son what’s going on. He is usually very stable, apart from not finding us a daughter-in-law, he never needed us to worry about him. There must be some misunderstanding,” Mu Ge commented, whilst she found herself thinking that Qiao Qiao and her son actually made a good match.

She has always seen Qiao Qiao as a good girl, it’s just unfortunate that she married the unpredictable Ye Xiandong.

Actually, in her opinion, as long as Ye Shiqing was willing to marry and have a child, she didn’t care who his girlfriend was, as long as she came from a respectable family.

However, Qiao Qiao and Ye Xiandong have not divorced yet, but Ye Shiqing is already openly together with Qiao Qiao, doesn’t this make people think he’s trying to steal Ye Xiandong’s wife?

No, she needed to ask them.

“Calm down for now, we can ask him what’s going on after the banquet,” Ye Rong noticed Mu Ge’s intentions and quickly stopped her.

Upon seeing Ye Shiqing and Qiao Qiao’s grand entrance, Su Hongxing exclaimed, “Ye Shiqing is so handsome!”

Upon hearing this, Ye Qilan’s expression darkened.

The most handsome man was right beside her, but he didn’t hear a word of praise from her. Hasn’t she noticed? Most of the women here are looking at him.

So, Ye Shiqing was added to Ye Qilan’s list of perceived love rivals.

“In my opinion, it’s not our business now, why don’t we go home?” Ye Qilan suggested to Su Hongxing.

“We can’t leave until after the banquet. That’s when the real show begins,” Su Hongxing replied, believing that this reasoning was clear enough that Ye Qilan should understand without her saying it.

Of course, she had no idea at this moment that Ye Qilan was actually jealous of Ye Shiqing.

Because of her passing remark, Ye Qilan started to perceive Ye Shiqing as a romantic rival.

If anyone was having the most complicated feelings at the banquet, it would be Cao Shiyu and Ye Xiandong.

The pair made their grand entrance tonight simply to slight Qiao Qiao and to let the whole world know that Qiao Qiao stepping down was inevitable.

What was originally a flawless plan, however, was suddenly disrupted by Ye Shiqing, which shifted everyone’s attention.

Cao Shiyu was already upset because Ye Qilan and Su Hongxing were openly dating. She initially thought she could take something back from Qiao Qiao and by slapping Qiao Qiao in the face, take Su Hongxing down a peg too.

However, her plan to kill two birds with one stone fell flat the moment Ye Shiqing made his entrance.

Before Qiao Qiao appeared, all the attention was on her and Ye Xiandong.@@novelbin@@

But as soon as Qiao Qiao arrived with Ye Shiqing, everyone shifted their focus to them.
