Chapter 549: 548: Ji Baijian is So Angry He Could Explode (Third Update)

The grand banquet hall.

The beauty of Song Zhizhi stunned the entire room.

Song Zhidao walked over from not too far away, “Sister, you’re here.”

Song Zhizhi looked back.

She shifted her gaze from Jun Minghan’s line of sight at that moment, giving a slight smile to Song Zhidao, “Yes.”

“I just got here, too. I came with Jun Mingxi.”

Song Zhizhi nodded slightly.

Song Zhidao scrutinized his sister’s outfit at that moment, “Don’t you think you are a bit… overly exposed?”

Song Zhizhi just smiled, “That’s intentional.”

“Who are you trying to seduce?”

“Guess.”

“Sister…”

“I’m going to have a look around.” Song Zhizhi cut off Song Zhidao directly, striding off in her high heels.

Song Zhidao looked at his sister’s retreating figure.

He felt his sister’s change was somewhat significant.

Had she finally seen the harsh truth of this world, that no one but herself can be relied upon? Is that why she has suddenly become so pro-active!

He saw his sister holding a glass of red wine, making her way towards Jun Minghan.

The gaze that Jun Minghan had averted was once again firmly captured by Song Zhizhi.

Alluring was an understatement for her attire tonight.

With just one look, it seemed as though the entire banquet hall was her stage. Such a provocative outfit was evidently intentional.

Deliberately provoking him?!

Jun Minghan managed to maintain a calm exterior, even purposefully feigning disinterest.

“Mr. Jun, Mrs. Jun, I’m Song Zhizhi.” She lifted her glass of wine to them, “I’m honored to attend this official family banquet. This toast is for you.”

Jun Minghan picked up his wine glass. His wife by his side smiled faintly and also raised her glass.

Song Zhizhi toasted.

And she drained her glass.

A barely noticeable smile tugged at the corner of Jun Minghan’s mouth.

He knew too well what this woman was up to.

She was saying this morning that things were settled, but now she seemed to be unable to suppress herself.

Women, all so realistic.

Whoever can benefit her, she follows!

After exchanging pleasantries, Song Zhizhi politely excused herself.

As Jun Minghan watched her slender waist and rounded hips sway, he felt somewhat thirsty.

“Minghan.” The woman by his side called him.

Jun Minghan subtly returned to reality, “Dressing like this for a banquet is rather… inappropriate.”

With that, he looked disdainful.

Jun Mingyu was not far from Jun Minghan’s side.

He glanced at Song Zhizhi’s direction and a faint smile appeared on his face.

Song Zhizhi left the banquet hall directly and went to the washroom.

She threw up the red wine she had just had.

She was unable to handle alcohol.

Couldn’t drink much.

It wasn’t good for her health.

She vomited for quite a while, and when there was nothing but gastric juice left, she exited the bathroom.

As she approached the basin, she saw Qin Jingxiang was there, seemingly waiting for her.

Song Zhizhi acted as though she didn’t see her, rinsed her mouth, then fixed her makeup.

“Can’t hold your liquor?” Qin Jingxiang asked.

Song Zhizhi did not reply.

“Where’s Ji Baijian?” It seemed that Qin Jingxiang didn’t want to engage in a lengthy conversation either.

Song Zhizhi’s eyes trembled slightly as she replied in a casual tone, “What does that matter to you where he is?”

“Song Zhizhi, don’t you feel shameless, flaunting yourself in front of so many men dressed like this?”

“So, Miss Qin is jealous.”

“What am I jealous of? Jealous of your obvious flirtation?!”

“Whether or not you can flirt depends on whether you have the capital. Unlike Miss Qin who…” Song Zhizhi looked at her from head to foot.

Qin Jingxiang didn’t have a good figure. Outside of being thin, she lacked all the feminine aesthetics.

This blatant sarcasm from Song Zhizhi caused Qin Jingxiang’s face to darken instantly, “Song Zhizhi, do you think all men are superficial? Do you think all men judge by appearance?”

“Otherwise, why has Ji Baijian never fallen for you despite all the years you’ve been chasing him!”

“Song Zhizhi!”

“Miss Qin, I suggest you have some physical adjustments. Otherwise, I fear you may never get married.”

“You shouldn’t be so self-satisfied, Song Zhizhi! I will definitely ruin you, just you wait!” Qin Jingxiang turned and left.

Song Zhizhi just watched Qin Jingxiang’s retreating figure.

Said so-called ruination.

Most likely you wouldn’t live to see the day.

She calmly continued fixing her makeup, then left.

Just as she reached the entrance,

her body was suddenly yanked back, and in the next second, she was pulled into a hidden room. The room was somewhat dark, and before Song Zhizhi could react, she felt a man groping her up and down in a rush, and her face was being fervently kissed. It was apparent that he was urgently trying to find her lips…

Song Zhizhi clenched her teeth and pushed him away with all her might.

At the same time, she turned on the room lights and stared directly at the man in front of her.

Jun Minghan smirked, “Is Miss Song trying to push me away?”

“So it’s Mr. Jun. I thought it was some irresponsible official’s son who can’t restrain his lower body, even in such a situation.”

“Is Miss Song being sarcastic?”

“I can’t believe Mr. Jun would do such a thing.”

“Isn’t Miss Song deliberately seducing me today?” Jun Minghan leaned in.

Step by step, he approached Song Zhizhi once again.

Song Zhizhi took a step back.

After that step, she was up against the wall.

Song Zhizhi gritted her teeth in silence.

Jun Minghan had cornered her, reducing the distance between them, “I have to say, Miss Song’s actions tonight have been quite successful. I’ve never wanted… a woman this much.”

“So…” Song Zhizhi looked up at Jun Minghan.

In the light, Song Zhizhi’s face looked even more enticing up close.

This woman indeed had the allure he couldn’t resist.

He gripped her chin, not using much force, merely ensuring that her cheek was immobilized.

He couldn’t accept being pushed away like this.

He leaned in closer.

Song Zhizhi’s eyes were fixed on his lips…

Just as they were about to touch, she closed her eyes.

“Did I bump into something?” At the doorway, a familiar male voice suddenly sounded.

Jun Minghan’s lips, perhaps just 0.01 millimeters away, froze in front of her. The next second, he nonchalantly withdrew.

He turned around and saw Jun Mingyu.

Jun Mingyu had a playful smirk, as if he were enjoying a performance.

Jun Minghan’s face changed slightly, but he quickly masked it with disdain, “I was just playing along, Song Zhizhi, I’m not that easily seduced.”

Song Zhizhi merely smiled, not bothering to refute.

Jun Minghan straightened his slightly crumpled clothes.

He tossed out a cold threat, “If you try something like this again, I won’t let it slide as I did just now!”

Then he left.

After he left.

Song Zhizhi also adjusted her clothes, feeling disgusted wherever Jun Minghan had touched her.

Jun Mingyu watched Song Zhizhi. He said, “Did you need to go that far?”

Song Zhizhi didn’t answer.

“If Ji Baijian knew about this, he would be livid!”

Song Zhizhi straightened her clothes.

She walked past Jun Mingyu in her high heels.

As she was leaving, she paused, “Don’t tell him.”

Jun Mingyu smirked.

He wasn’t that benevolent.

Song Zhizhi exited the banquet hall.

Outside the hall, people were still mingling around.

Jun Minghan resumed his socializing, as if nothing had happened.

Just then.

The banquet hall suddenly fell silent.

At that moment, everyone involuntarily turned their gaze towards the entrance of the banquet hall.

Lady Jun, Leng Wanqing, walked in with the assistance of someone at her side.

She was still adorned in her form-fitting cheongsam, with not a single gray hair in sight. She wore a delicate makeup look, and her every move exuded the aura of a high-ranking official’s wife.

All couldn’t help but respect her immensely.

She wore a smile on her face, not one that was warm and friendly, but more of an aristocratic etiquette.

“I’m sorry for arriving so late at this banquet that I organized myself!,” she apologized from the center of the banquet hall.

Although it sounded like an apology, there was no trace of remorse.

A simple formality, and no one else dared to speak out.

“The primary purpose of this banquet is that it’s been a while since we, the official families, had a proper gathering. So, it’s a good opportunity to get everyone together. More importantly, considering the various incidents that have taken place at Commercial Management recently, things now seem to have quieted down a bit. I also went out of my way to invite Mr. Qin Wenguo to participate in our official family’s banquet, with the hope of fostering good cooperation between our official family and Commercial Management in the future.”

“Lady, you’re being too polite. The relationship between Commercial Management and the official family is inseparable. Now that I’m fortunate to be filling in at Commercial Management, I look forward to your support,” Qin Wenguo said courteously.

“Your humbleness is unnecessary. We are all working for the people. However, I do have some joyful news to announce today.”

“What good news does my lady have?”

“I heard that Mr. Qin’s daughter, Miss Qin Jingxiang, is currently unmarried. As it happens, our Jun family’s youngest son, Jun Mingyu, is also single. The Dean and I have mutual consent and hope to foster this marriage.”

As the words fell.

The whole room erupted in surprise.

Song Zhizhi turned to look at Jun Minghan.

This is what is called “teaching Qin Wenguo a lesson”?!

Lady Jun really is… cunning!
