Night Fire Lingering

The surrounding guests: "???"

No, the eldest son of the He family is known for being unruly and unruly. When did he become so easy to talk to?

Listen to the arrogant things Luo Beiqing is saying, how much he bosses you around, and you still nod in agreement? You even think everything you say is right?

Gu Qingqing's expression changed drastically. She never expected that Luo Beiqing would complain to her ex-husband, Lou Qi. She immediately explained, "Young Master He, if needed, I can pursue a master's degree in education later! I've also mentioned this to your mother, and she agrees!"

Then Zhong Xue was brought up again.

Luo Beiqing immediately felt bored. Firstly, she disliked this kind of person who used their elders to bully others, acting like a child tattling. Secondly...

How could He Tingchuan be controlled by his mother, yet he still managed to marry her when she was an orphan and down on her luck?

He Tingchuan looked down at Gu Qingqing and said contemptuously, "Gu Qingqing, if you like my mother, my father probably wouldn't mind if you lived with her."

Mr. He has several mistresses and illegitimate children, and he doesn't care if his wife has a caring woman.

"Pfft!"

"Hahahahaha!"

Someone couldn't help but laugh again.

"Young Master He's words are too sharp!"

"Luo Beiqing is also a sharp-tongued person, their children will definitely have a sharp tongue in the future!"

"Young Master He..." Gu Qingqing was so angry that she burst into tears. In order not to ruin her makeup, she dared not let the tears fall.

"Madam Zhou!"

Wen Yan suddenly spoke up and politely waved to a woman who looked to be in her forties on the outskirts of the crowd.

The woman wasn't particularly well-maintained; she was slightly overweight and appeared rather plump. Her looks and demeanor weren't as striking as other women her age, but judging from her energy and spirit, she seemed to be enjoying herself recently.

—How could you not be happy if your husband, whom you never loved, died and left you a huge inheritance?

"Mrs. Gu, what's wrong?" Mrs. Zhou came forward.

Wen Yan asked with a gossipy look, "Mrs. Zhou, I heard you have a new young boyfriend, a handsome guy who owns a company. I wonder if he's here today?"

Mrs. Zhou couldn't guess Wen Yan's purpose in saying this, so she spoke frankly: "You've arrived. Wait for me in the parking lot. Mrs. Gu wants to see you?"

Wen Yan nodded.

Mrs. Zhou immediately made a phone call and asked the other party to come in.

The attitude of the sugar daddy towards the gigolo, who comes and goes as he pleases, is very clear.

The others didn't know what Wen Yan was planning, but Jiang Xing already did.

Mrs. Zhou, her young boyfriend, the handsome guy who owns a company... all these details correspond to what Wen Yan said to Ying Kaian on the day of the graduation ceremony.

This Mrs. Zhou is Ying Kaian's sugar daddy!

Lou Qi remained silent, lowering his eyes to conceal the unfathomable darkness within them.

The skill of others.

He Tingchuan leaned down and whispered with a smile in Luo Bei's ear, "How do you know so much about Gu Qingqing? Do you care about me?"

Luo Beiqing didn't move an inch, glancing at the man. "I have no interest in vetting your second wife, but I have a responsibility to investigate my son's stepmother."

"What second marriage? Luo Beiqing, I freaking—wait," He Tingchuan started to say, but suddenly realized something more crucial. He looked at Luo Beiqing in disbelief, his gaze slowly shifting to her pregnant belly. "A son?"

It's obvious they don't want to believe it.

His unhappiness makes Luo Beiqing happy!

Luo Beiqing smiled and nodded: "Yes, if you want a daughter, I suggest you look for another job."

God the hell, find someone else!

He Tingchuan gritted his teeth and said, "Son...I love my son too!"

five minutes later.

A young man in a suit and tie strode in. He had his hair styled in a very formal slicked-back manner. Although he had not been invited, he was clearly ready to enter the social scene at any opportunity.

"Sister Zhou!" The man greeted Mrs. Zhou warmly as soon as he entered.

Madam Zhou shared the same surname as her deceased husband, Zhou.

Mrs. Zhou introduced him to Wen Yan: "Mrs. Gu, his surname is Ying, you can call him Xiao Ying."

Wen Yan is clearly younger than Ying Kaian, yet Madam Zhou made Wen Yan address Ying Kaian as "Little Ying," making it obvious who was more important.

Ying Kaian then noticed Wen Yan and Jiang Xing, who had been hidden by the crowd, and his face flashed with embarrassment and resentment.

“Mrs. Zhou, I know this Mr. Ying.” Wen Yan had a look on her face that said, ‘Oh, it’s you.’

Mrs. Zhou exclaimed in surprise, "Oh?"

Wen Yan said, "To be honest, your new love—"

"—He's my ex-boyfriend," Jiang Xing continued, picking up where Wen Yan left off.

She knew Wen Yan wanted to stand up for her, so she gave Wen Yan a reassuring look.

Everyone was in an uproar!

Gu Qingqing, who was still carefully wiping away her tears with a tissue, looked up in shock.

Madam Zhou glanced at Jiang Xing and Ying Kaian with surprise, but quickly figured out why Wen Yan had called Ying Kaian in.

Ying Kaian instinctively tried to explain himself and the background: "Sister Zhou, Jiang Xing and I..."

Madam Zhou smiled and made a 'stop' gesture, then asked Ying Kaian, "Young Ying, just now this Miss Gu Qingqing said that you told her that Miss Jiang dumped you and then turned around and climbed up to Young Master Lou, is that right?"

“I…” Ying Kaian glanced at Jiang Xing subconsciously, then at Lou Qi next to him, and then at Gu Qingqing who had come to see him some time ago. Cold eyes were already forming on his forehead.

If he had another chance, he definitely wouldn't go into this hall!

"Ying Kaian, did you say that?" Lou Qi handed the champagne glass in his hand to the waiter.

"Young Master Lou, I...I can explain, I—ah!"

Lou Qi suddenly threw a punch at Ying Kaian, who staggered and fell to the ground.

"Young Master Lou, I—um!"

Another punch!

"Ying Kaian, you messed around first, then tried to take advantage of others, and spread rumors about women. Who the hell do you think you are?"

Lou Qi unbuttoned his suit jacket, grabbed Ying Kaian by the collar, and punched him several more times. In less than ten minutes, he had the man with a bruised and swollen face and blood trickling from his mouth.

"Young Master Lou! Young Master Lou, spare my life!"

Lou Qi's mind was a complete mess from the beating; he could only feel the pain, and his eyes were glazed over, unable to focus.

"Abandon the building!"

While the others didn't react, Jiang Xing rushed forward and grabbed Lou Qi's raised fist.

"You're going to stand up for this kind of scum?" Lou Qi bared his back teeth, his face full of hostility.

"Don't dig your own grave! It's not worth it!" Jiang Xing's voice was extremely calm, but his eyes couldn't hide the tremor in them.
