Quick Transmigration: Forbidden to Covet Beautiful NPCs

"Huh? You..." Shen Cheng was surprised to see Yin Youci at the banquet.

I composed myself and went over to say hello.

"Yin Youci, this must be your brother-in-law." Dressed in a suit and tie, and with impeccable manners, he said, "Nice to meet you. I'm Shen Cheng."

Wu Tongxue glanced to the side, her red lips slightly pursed, her long eyelashes fluttering gently. A cold light refracted through her thin glasses, making her appear both sinister and demonic, yet also exquisitely beautiful and ethereal.

Shen Cheng was stunned for a moment, but then he understood.

Yin Youci stood to the side of Wu Tongxue, her hand on his shoulder. She glanced at Shen Cheng and then looked away, carefully stroking the collar of his clothes.

Her gaze swept over the snow-white nape of his neck, and her voice was gentle, "Honey, it's done."

Shen Cheng's lips twitched, and he looked away.

“Honey, this is Shen Cheng, the president of Starlight Entertainment,” Yin Youci introduced. “Don’t be fooled by his respectable appearance; he loves to exploit others. Honey, be careful not to be deceived by him.”

Shen Cheng: "..." The person involved is still here.

Wu Tongxue looked at him intently, as if pondering how he might lie.

"Ahem—" He clenched his fist and covered his lips, looking a little uncomfortable. "Brother-in-law, let's go inside first."

After Yin Youci's outburst, Shen Cheng's aura was shattered.

Wu Tongxue laughed along, her eyes sparkling, "Mm."

Shen Cheng originally planned to go out and socialize, but considering some issues, he stayed with them instead.

His gaze lingered on the figure in front of him. With his brother-in-law here, that person shouldn't cause trouble... right?

After taking a sip of champagne, Shen Cheng felt a bit of a headache.

Bright lights illuminated every corner of the banquet hall, where elegantly dressed women mingled, glasses clinked, and sweet aromas filled the air.

A corner of the extravagant picture of high society has been lifted.

"Mr. Ye, it's been a long time. I heard your company is planning to..."

"Haha, it's all thanks to your kind words..."

Mr. Ye was talking to someone when he caught a glimpse of a figure out of the corner of his eye. He quickly said goodbye, "Mr. Liu, let's play ball together again this weekend."

Wu Tongxue's face was practically frozen from smiling. Yin Youci had been taking him around to recognize people, so he couldn't even act alone.

With Yin Youci around, no one would dare to speak ill of him; their attitude was incredibly good, and he would even receive a lot of praise for simply addressing her by name.

Shen Cheng was right behind her, watching Yin Youci show off with her people, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

As soon as I turned around, I felt a pat on the shoulder.

President Ye smiled kindly, "Shen Cheng, how have you been lately? I heard you've landed another big project. Young man, don't work overtime all the time. Take some time to rest and go out and have some fun."

"My Ye Ying just loves to have fun. By the way, your newly opened hot spring resort is quite nice. Young people should get together more often."

Shen Cheng stiffened, forcing a smile, "Uncle Ye is really well-informed, but Ye Ying is busy with work lately, so she probably doesn't have time."

Shen Cheng was entangled with his father, who was eager for his son to return home and inherit the family business, and couldn't get away for the time being.

"Honey, I need to go to the bathroom."

Wu Tongxue nodded, feeling relieved, and turned to find a place to rest.

As soon as Yin Youci left, many eyes fell on him.

This spot was specially chosen by Wu Tongxue. It's located in a corner, with something behind the sofa to cover the view, making it a good spot to eavesdrop on other people's conversations.

Taking small sips of her juice, Wu Tongxue strained her ears to listen to the sounds coming from behind her.

He was just taking a chance, but he didn't expect to actually hear some gossip about himself.

"That guy... I heard he was just a poor boy, but I never expected him to rise to such heights."

"What are you talking about? We are all citizens."

"...What do you think happened? The wedding was so low-key back then. Wasn't it said that she was forced to marry? It doesn't seem like that at all."

"Who knows? Keep your voices down, or someone might hear you."

"I think it's still uncertain who's forcing whom."

"We didn't say anything bad, so let's keep our voices down."

The chattering of several girls came from behind. Wu Tongxue drank her juice in silence, her long eyelashes fluttering, looking somewhat dazed.

Task progress +0.1

This was different from the information he had seen, and Wu Tongxue was furious.

Okay, the vast majority of people are still well-mannered, so he should try his luck elsewhere and see if he can run into someone who isn't.

Holding a juice bar, he patrolled the banquet hall, trying to find a vicious person.

People who were initially focused on this area quickly looked away and got caught up in new social interactions, looking quite busy.

[Ring ring, they are all well-mannered people.]

A poor boy suddenly becomes a son-in-law of a wealthy family. Not only does he become the subject of much gossip, but his attitude is also incredibly good.

It seems that his learning is not comprehensive enough.

Bell: [Master, you're drunk.]

Wu Tongxue: [?]

This body has hardly ever touched alcohol, but after walking around, it had a few drinks, and now the effects of the alcohol are starting to kick in.

Wu Tongxue held the cup, her eyes somewhat dazed.

He took another sip of the sweet water in his glass. [It was juice.]

It was a bit hot in the banquet hall. Wu Tongxue blinked, got up, and walked outside.

Mo Xin carried a tray as he moved through the banquet hall. He often worked part-time, and the wages for waiters here were very high, so he came tonight.

Since that day, Mo Xin has reduced his contact with Wu Tongxue, and he hasn't seen his senior for three days now.

He planned to gradually distance himself and slowly diminish the flutter in his heart.

The image was deeply imprinted in her mind; even though it was just a profile, Mo Xin recognized him immediately.

At the same time, he also noticed the annoying person next to his senior.

After hesitating for a moment, I continued with my work, but I still kept glancing at that side of the table.

Seeing that the senior went out alone, and since he didn't have much work to do, he found a colleague to cover for him and went out with him.

Wu Tongxue could wander around freely, but there were bodyguards on duty outside, so there was no need to worry about her safety.

He found a step to sit on and quietly enjoyed the breeze.

He wasn't the only one who came out for some fresh air. Feeling irritable, Yin Heng also left the banquet hall and found a corner to smoke.

A few close friends came over and got together, and it instantly became lively.

Yin Heng is from the second branch of the Yin family and is Yin Youci's cousin, but they are clearly not on good terms.

When he was young, Old Master Yin had an illegitimate son, who was Yin Heng's father. Old Master Yin favored sons over daughters, but he never considered handing over the family business to his second wife.

Grandpa Yin dotes on his grandson, Yin Heng, but is much more indifferent to Yin Youci. However, he insists on handing over the Yin family business to his granddaughter, whom he doesn't particularly like.

Yin Heng was dissatisfied with this decision, as he and Yin Youci had never gotten along since childhood.

He's clearly a member of the Yin family, and he's capable of managing the group well, so why should it be handed over to that crazy woman?

"Brother Heng, calm down. That Yin Youci is just too arrogant." Yin Youci completely ignored Yin Heng tonight, and Wu Tongxue didn't know that there were other members of the Yin family present tonight.

These people usually surround Yin Heng and follow his lead, so they naturally know what he likes to hear.

"No matter how arrogant he is, he still married a poor guy."

Everyone knows that the Yin family's son-in-law is penniless, and they have never paid any attention to such people.

Someone chimed in, suggesting, "We can teach him a lesson. He's just a country bumpkin; he'll go weak at the knees if we scare him."

"He's probably never even seen such a high-class banquet before. Pshaw, what a country bumpkin."

A group of people chattered on and on, but none of them had actually seen Wu Tongxue.

Yin Youci is a madwoman. When they heard that he was coming to the banquet, they immediately avoided him. Now that they have someone to rely on, they start talking non-stop.
