Unbridled, Depraved

This was Shen Qianhe's first time coming to the banquet hall of the Xie family's old house. His first feeling after looking around was that it was so damn luxurious!

If it weren't for the servant's guidance, she would have thought she had walked into the wrong set!

The spacious and bright reception room is filled with an atmosphere of luxury and nobility.

Rows of bright red lanterns are hung above the roof, like the sunset in the sky, making the entire space sparkle.

The pillars in the banquet hall are all made of white marble, intricately carved with coiled golden dragon patterns.

Even the guests' tables and chairs are made of top-grade rosewood.

The men sat together in groups of three or four, drinking tea and discussing topics ranging from art to politics and economics.

The women were in a small garden nearby, discussing the latest fashion trends and gossip about the young masters and young ladies.

Waiters shuttled among the crowd, holding silver trays with exquisite snacks and champagne, ensuring that every guest could taste the finest wine and food.

Seeing Xie Jincheng and his wife come in, everyone's eyes turned to them.

A few smart people had already served champagne.

"Seventh Master! I heard that you and your wife got married some time ago. I guess the person next to you must be your wife!"

"Oh, that's right! I wanted to see what kind of beauty could conquer our Seventh Master Xie. After seeing her today, she is indeed a fairy!"

"..."

These men all praised Shen Qianhe in different ways, which made her very happy.

Ye Xiangan, who was talking to Shen Mu, heard the announcement that Xie Jincheng had arrived. He unconsciously stopped what he was doing and looked towards the crowd.

I saw a slim and beautiful lady in red, who was holding the arm of the man beside her, smiling like a flower.

It was the first time he saw Shen Qianhe like this. How should he describe her?

Now she is really...

So charming and beautiful!

Every frown and smile can captivate people.

In order to match Shen Qianhe's burgundy cheongsam, Xie Jincheng specially wore a burgundy shirt.

The two of them standing together are truly a perfect match made in heaven.

Shen Mu stared at Ye Xiangan's obsessed face, and the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.

She turned her eyes to Shen Qianhe who was surrounded by the crowd, her dark eyes full of gloom.

Xie Jincheng held Shen Qianhe's hand, walked through the crowd and headed towards the main table.

Mr. Xie was wearing a black and gold Tang suit with a kind smile on his face. When he saw Xie Jincheng, he looked away with a guilty look on his face and turned to Shen Qianhe and smiled, "Qianhe, you're here!"

Shen Qianhe bowed gracefully and said sweetly: "Dad, happy birthday. I wish you good fortune as vast as the East Sea and a long life as great as the Southern Mountains."

After that, she asked the servant to take out the gift that had been prepared long ago, "Dad, this is the birthday gift that Jin Cheng and I prepared specially for you. Take a look and see if you like it!"

Mr. Xie took the gift box, opened it and his eyes lit up. General He, who was sitting next to him, smiled and said, "Oh! Isn't this the Duanshi Qiguang Inkstone? It's a priceless treasure!"

Mr. Xie fought on the battlefield in his early years. He had not received much education and was ridiculed as a soldier.

After retiring to the second line, he fell in love with the four treasures of the study, especially inkstones, and had an almost crazy hobby of collecting them.

This Duanshi Qiguan Inkstone is worth tens of millions. It is said to have been commissioned by Emperor Qianlong and was once collected by the eleventh son of the emperor, Prince Cheng Yongyan. It is an inkstone that Mr. Xie has been longing for for a long time. He did not expect that he would finally get his wish today!

Old Master Xie was holding the inkstone and smiling so hard that his mouth couldn't close. However, Xie Jincheng asked Old Master Xie calmly, "Where are the mother and son? Why didn't they bring them out to meet people for such an important occasion?"

Mr. Xie was grinning with joy, but when he heard this, his smile froze on his face instantly.

"Forget it. I guess you don't want them to defile this room. After all, this banquet hall was designed by my mother."

Mr. Xie's face turned pale and blue, and he seemed to want to say something but hesitated. However, Xie Jincheng did not give him a chance to explain.

He took Shen Qianhe's hand and said with a smile: "Qianhe, come with me, I will introduce you to some elders. This is General He..."

After walking around, Shen Qianhe already knew most of the people in the hall.

Xie Jincheng was called away by a few good friends, and Shen Qianhe took a glass of champagne and came to the small garden where many women gathered.

"Chizuru!"

Hearing someone calling her name, Shen Qianhe turned around and saw Shi Yue waving at her.

Shi Yue’s husband He Yang is the grandson of General He. General He and Mr. Xie are old comrades-in-arms.

The comrades who had fought the enemy together back then are all gone now, and the two of them appreciate each other and interact quite frequently.

Xie Jincheng knew that He Yang would definitely come to the banquet, so he specifically asked He Yang to bring Shi Yue with him.

Shi Yue and Shen Qianhe knew each other, so they had something to talk about when they met, so Shen Qianhe wouldn't be embarrassed to be alone.

"Shi Yue!"

Shen Qianhe walked up to Shi Yue and greeted her with a smile. As soon as they met, they held hands and started complimenting each other.

"Chizuru! This cheongsam you're wearing is so beautiful! Please tell me where it was made. I'll go get two to wear later."

Shi Yue wore a slim and capable suit today, looking like a strong career woman.

Just as Shen Qianhe was about to answer, someone behind him interrupted with a smile: "I heard that Mrs. He is famous for being tough. The cheongsam may not be suitable for you."

The person who spoke was Commander Zhao’s granddaughter, Zhao Xinran.

Before He Yang met Shi Yue, he had a childhood sweetheart who grew up with him. This childhood sweetheart had a crush on He Yang since childhood. Everyone knew that she liked He Yang, except He Yang himself.

When He Yang was engaged to Shi Yue, this childhood sweetheart made a scene at the engagement party and even threatened to commit suicide. Anyway, the incident was quite a big deal and even Shen Qianhe heard about it.

So much so that later, it was quite awkward for the He family and the Zhao family to meet each other.

He Yang’s childhood sweetheart is Zhao Xinran’s biological sister, Zhao Anran.

Zhao Xinran and her sister Zhao Anran grew up in a military compound. The two sisters have always been raised in the palm of their family's hands and have been pampered and spoiled.

It’s just that sister Zhao Anran has a gentle personality, and the most outrageous thing she has ever done in her life is to cause a scene at He Yang’s engagement party.

But her younger sister Zhao Xinran was arrogant, willful and paranoid, and would often kill people over a disagreement.

The two sisters can be described as one literary and one martial, one strong and one gentle.

From childhood to adulthood, everything has gone smoothly for both of them. As long as they want something, they will get it.

In the capital, few people dare to mess with these two sisters. Those who don't want to get involved with them will basically avoid them when they see them.

It was not until his sister Zhao Anran’s confession was rejected that He Yang got married.

Shi Yue became their number one enemy.

Especially Zhao Xinran, every time he saw Shi Yue, he wanted to ridicule her to his heart's content.

Although Shi Yue is a surgeon and her family background is not as prominent as the Zhao sisters, she is also someone who is not easy to mess with.

Seeing Zhao Xinran taking the initiative to provoke her, she hit back mercilessly:

"I wear whatever I like. No need for Miss Zhao Er to make suggestions. If you have time, you should watch a few more shows and improve your fashion sense."

"Shi Yue! You country bumpkin, you still want to teach me a lesson?!"

Zhao Xinran wanted to fight back, but someone next to him pulled her clothes, so she held back her anger.

"I heard that Commander Zhao has a granddaughter who is very brave. Today, I finally got to see her."

Shen Qianhe looked Zhao Xinran up and down, and continued with a smile: "Second Miss Zhao, you are really fierce and arrogant."
