In the banquet hall, Ou Jinghuan dropped a bombshell, shocking everyone present.

Rumors have it that Ou Jinghuan is cold, aloof, and abstinent, but he has actually brought his girlfriend to attend Old Master Ou's birthday banquet.

Moreover, the way he introduced his girlfriend in such a high-profile and grand manner shocked everyone.

The most shocked person was Bai Yixin, who had just been regarding Li Chuyue as a rival in love.

Yesterday, she also felt that Li Chuyue was seducing Wu Ziyao and believed that Li Chuyue was the biggest problem in her relationship with Wu Ziyao.

At this time, she learned that Li Chuyue, who was still a college student like herself, had become the vice president of a large corporation.

She even got together with Ou Shao, the youngest, most promising, most charming, and most powerful member of the Ou family, the head of the four major families.

In addition, Bai Yixin also learned yesterday that Li Chuyue is the owner of the Xinxilan Luxury Hot Spring Resort, a place many wealthy people like to visit.

These successive messages made Bai Yixin's feelings go beyond mere jealousy.

She seemed to have suffered a severe blow; already feeling unwell, she turned pale and became dizzy.

She raised her hand to her temple, the stinging pain in her ear seemed to connect to the nerves in her brain, and the pain intensified instantly.

Suddenly, Bai Yixin staggered, her body unsteady, as if she were about to fall to one side.

Just as she realized what was happening, but still felt like she was about to fall, Lin Yelin, who had noticed something was wrong with her, caught her.

Lin Yelin held Bai Yixin's shoulders, helping her to stand up straight, and asked softly with a concerned expression:

"Yixin, are you alright?"

You! You look terrible! Is something wrong with your health?

Should I go over there and tell your parents, and then take you to the hospital for a checkup...?

Before Lin Yelin could finish speaking, Bai Yixin grabbed him as he was about to go ahead to find her parents, and whispered her refusal:

"I'm fine! There are a lot of people here, I just feel a little breathless."

No need! No need to tell them...

Bai Yixin looked up at her father and mother who were looking in the direction of Li Chuyue and Ou Jinghuan, as well as Lin Yelin's parents, and finally looked at Li Chuyue's direction.

Seeing that no one had noticed what was happening to her, and not wanting to attract anyone's attention, she immediately relaxed.

Beside him, Lin Yelin followed Bai Yixin's gaze, turned back to look at her, and lowered its voice to suggest:

"How about I take you to a less crowded area over there, and we find a seat near the window for a while?"

"Hmm...okay." Bai Yixin really didn't want to stay there any longer and listen to other people praising Li Chuyue, so she agreed.

Afterwards, without disturbing her parents and the people around her, Bai Yixin quietly found a relatively quiet place to sit down with Lin Yelin's help.

After she sat down, she did feel a little better. She looked at Lin Yelin, who was very thoughtful and warm-hearted, and expressed her gratitude.

Lin Yelin smiled slightly and said it was okay. Then, like Bai Yixin and the others, he turned his gaze toward the Ou family.

After recovering from her initial discomfort, Bai Yixin's expression turned serious, and she quickly fell into deep thought.

She recalled Xu Zhishan's warning earlier, and at that moment she instantly understood the true meaning behind Xu Zhishan's words.

Previously, she thought that Li Chuyue was just the daughter of Honglan Group, while her family's status was obviously higher than Li Chuyue's.

Therefore, Bai Yixin always felt superior to Li Chuyue when facing her, and completely disregarded Li Chuyue.

Even knowing that Li Chuyue was the owner of a luxury hot spring hotel was not enough to make her truly fearful.

But now, looking at it this way, Li Chuyue has not only improved her status, but also gotten close to a big shot that even she wouldn't dare to dream of.

This made Bai Yixin understand why Li Chuyue had always seemed to look down on Ziyao.

She gradually came to believe what Li Chuyue had told her before: that Li Chuyue was with Ou Shao, and probably really thought Wu Ziyao was trash...

After all, if she were with Young Master Ou, the heir of the Ou family, one of the four great families, she would also feel that other men were just so-so.

Bai Yixin had heard of Ou Jinghuan at school before, and like other female students, she harbored a certain longing for him.

However, she knew that there was still a certain gap between her family and the Ou family, and that she and Ou, the male god, were worlds apart.

So she turned her attention to Wu Ziyao, who was also known as the school heartthrob like Ou Jinghuan and fit her ideal type, but whose family background was slightly lower than hers.

However, Bai Yixin now sees the man she never dared to dream of before, who has actually become Li Chuyue, whom she hated.

She wasn't just jealous; a deep sense of lingering fear gripped every part of her body, giving her a dull, throbbing sensation.

Xu Zhishan's warning kept replaying in her mind, which quietly instilled in her an unprecedented sense of fear.

After all, this is the Ou family's territory, and Ou Jinghuan is currently the most powerful figure in the Ou family.

Even Bai Yixin's strictest father often praised Ou Jinghuan in front of her, and his expression even showed a hint of awe.

This made Bai Yixin feel a pang of fear that she hadn't heeded Xu Zhishan's warning and almost had a conflict with Li Chuyue at the Ou family's house.

Although Lin Yelin stopped herself from acting impulsively the previous time, her actions against Li Chuyue yesterday caused quite a stir.

She worried that Li Chuyue might use Ou Shao to retaliate against her, or even against her father or her entire family's business.

At this moment, Bai Yixin's growing fear made her temporarily forget the pain in her ears.

She clenched her fists tightly, a feeling of lingering fear welling up inside her, causing cold sweat to break out on her nose and philtrum.

Her fear of the Ou family, the most powerful and wealthy clan, overcame her jealousy of Li Chuyue, making her regret her previous impulsiveness.

……

On the other hand, people who were initially joking and watching the show are now starting to seriously consider the importance of Li Chuyue to Ou Jinghuan.

Seeing Ou Jinghuan's performance, some intelligent people instantly realized that Li Chuyue would be the key to their connection with Ou Jinghuan.

They all instructed their assistants to investigate Li Chuyue's background or to have their wives approach Li Chuyue later.

He wanted to see if he could open up an opportunity to cooperate with Ou Jinghuan by currying favor with Li Chuyue.

Although the guests invited to Ou Hongxin's birthday banquet were mostly people who had connections with the Ou family or were powerful figures.

However, there are also many people who dislike Ou Jinghuan, such as his second uncle, Ou Dehui.

After learning who Ou Jinghuan's girlfriend was, his first reaction was to try to win over Li Chuyue and get her to betray Ou Jinghuan.

Therefore, he was more enthusiastic towards Li Chuyue than anyone else.

Ou Dehui kept searching for words to praise Li Chuyue, and also expressed his concern for Ou Jinghuan from time to time.
