Why are you trying to steal her destiny? She's the little ancestor of the Xuanmen sect!

The guests all looked in the direction of the sound.

A woman dressed in a beige dress was standing outside the door.

She emerged from the crowd of people carrying sticks.

The guests saw a tall, stunningly beautiful woman who exuded an aura that was not to be trifled with.

Ye Xuan's eyes lit up.

It is Angelica dahurica.

When Wang Mao saw Bai Zhiling, he was stunned for a moment, then his expression changed drastically: "B-B-..."

He started stuttering and couldn't say a word.

"Snapped!"

Bai Zhiling didn't give him a chance to speak and slapped Wang Mao hard across the face.

The crisp sound of a slap echoed in the restaurant.

The people around fell silent, all looking in their direction.

"Sister-in-law!" Wang Mao called out, covering his face, his eyes filled with resentment, but he dared not say more.

Bai Zhiling angrily rebuked, "Wang Mao, you're becoming more and more outrageous outside! You have no shame, but what about the reputation of the Wang family!"

Wang Mao's eyes turned venomous.

But when he saw the flash of cold light on Bai Zhiling's hand, he felt a chill run down his spine.

"thump!"

Wang Mao knelt straight down on the ground.

In the Wang family, as long as his sister-in-law hadn't made any mistakes, she had the right to discipline him.

What Bai Zhiling was holding just now was a silver needle. It didn't leave many visible wounds when it pierced the body, but it really hurt.

He had been reprimanded before when he accidentally bumped into someone.

He still remembers that pain.

A fear that strikes straight to the soul.

Standing next to Xiao Jiu, Ye Xuan muttered softly, "Mrs. Wang is really capable; she can keep him in check."

"Kneel still and don't move."

Bai Zhiling glanced at him coldly before turning to nod to Ye Xuan behind Qin Yuyang.

After exchanging greetings, she politely said to Qin Yuyang, "Mr. Qin, I'm so sorry."

My brother Lao Wang has always been like this, I hope you don't find it amusing.

I'll give him a good talking to when I get back.

"Since Mrs. Wang says so, I won't press further, but what he did to my employees..."

Qin Yuyang already knew the problem from Secretary Yao, so naturally he wanted to get some benefits too.

Bai Zhiling nodded: "We will make compensation."

"Well, thank you."

Qin Yuyang nodded and glanced at Wang Mao, who looked like a stray dog.

Bai Zhiling nodded gently: "Of course."

She raised her eyes and looked at the guests around her: "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm so sorry to have disturbed your enjoyment."

The Wang family will be giving each of the guests present today as compensation. We apologize.

No one around dared to utter a sound.

Bai Zhiling winked at the person next to her.

Immediately, someone came over with a gift box.

"Ye Xuan." Bai Zhiling glanced at Ye Xuan, who then stepped forward.

Bai Zhiling said softly, "I'm so sorry, and I also want to apologize to Xiao Jiu. This is a gift I gave her."

"Thank you, would you like to stay for a meal?" Ye Xuan accepted the gift and smiled at Bai Zhiling.

Shaking her head, Bai Zhiling glanced at Wang Mao, who was lying on the ground with his head down, and said, "No, I need to go back and take care of some family matters."

"Big sister-in-law..."

"Shut up!"

Under Bai Zhiling's oppressive presence, Wang Mao didn't dare utter a single word.

Seeing this, Ye Xuan didn't insist on keeping them: "Alright, take care."

"Ah."

Bai Zhiling winked at the two bodyguards and then said, "Call President Wang to come back from abroad tonight."

"Yes, Madam."

Wang Mao was dragged up and begged for mercy, "Sister-in-law, I really know I was wrong, please don't call my brother back!"

"late."

Bai Zhiling walked ahead, and Wang Mao turned around and glared fiercely at Qin Yuyang: "You surnamed Qin, I..."

"Gag him." Bai Zhiling stopped and glanced back at him.

Wang Mao closed his mouth and swallowed.

The bodyguard found some tape from somewhere, tore off a piece, and stuck it over his mouth. The two men then dragged him away.

Xiao Jiu Jiu, standing behind, watched all of this.

Wang Mao is in for a rough night.

Qin Yuyang had the place cleaned up, and then brought Xiao Jiu back onto the stage: "What happened just now was just a minor incident, tonight..."

Below the stage, Ye Chen and Bai Jianan were among those who hadn't gone to watch the commotion: "I think I heard Mrs. Wang's voice just now."

I think she's your aunt, right?

"It's none of your business." Bai Jianan glanced at him, then tilted his head back and took a sip of wine.

Ye Chen frowned slightly: "Bai Jianan, do you have to talk to me like this?"

"so what?"

The two were locked in a fierce confrontation, the atmosphere thick with tension.

When Qin Yuhai returned, he sat down between the two of them again, watching them mock each other.

He didn't interfere and just ate his peanuts.

Qin Yuyang spoke for a while before finally saying, "Let's eat, everyone."

After stepping off the stage, Xiao Jiujiu went straight to the main table.

"I'm hungry, let's go!"

Qin Xin and Qin Hao followed closely behind.

The three of them went to the main table and greeted Liu Jian and the others.

At this time, there were not many empty seats.

Qin Xin and Qin Hao sat down next to Ye Xuan.

"Xiao Jiu, sit here." Ye Chen saw Xiao Jiu and ignored Bai Jianan, beckoning to Xiao Jiu.

Xiao Jiu Jiu walked over and sat between Qin Yu Hai and Ye Chen: "Brother Ye, Uncle, Brother Bai."

She smiled and looked at them: "Let's eat, let's eat, I'm starving."

"Xiao Jiu, Auntie is here."

Xiao Jiu Jiu, who was about to eat, paused, looked up and saw Wan Mengjiao, with Li Xinrui beside her.

They were all carrying gifts.

"Aunt Wan, Rui Rui, you're here!"

Xiao Jiu Jiu smiled and said, "You even brought me a gift? I'm so embarrassed!"

Wan Mengjiao said with a smile, "Don't be so polite with us. This is a gift from your aunt. And Rui Rui also brought you a gift specially."

"Thank you, Aunt Wan, thank you, Rui Rui~" Xiao Jiu Jiu stood up and accepted the gift, her face full of smiles.

Rui Rui smiled sweetly: "Congratulations, Sister Jiu Jiu~"

"Mengjiao, sit here." Ye Xuan got up and led her to another seat, not far from the main table.

Chen Xin strode in: "Where shall I sit?"

"Mrs. Chen, this way," Ye Xuan said politely, leading her to Wan Mengjiao's table.

Qin Yuyang also walked over at this moment.

He had juice prepared for them: "Thank you all for coming today."

"No problem, we all came because of Xiao Jiu." Wan Mengjiao said generously, and someone brought her a glass of wine.

He bumped into Qin Yuyang.

Qin Yuyang added, "If there is any cooperation in the future, I hope I can trouble you."

“I don’t get involved in company matters, but I can mention it briefly.” Wan Mengjiao nodded to him before sitting down.

Qin Yuyang returned to the main table, clinked glasses with everyone, and then started thinking about what to do next.

Just then, some more people arrived outside.

There were a lot of people, and Secretary Yao and his colleagues were already sitting at the back, ready to have lunch.

Upon seeing the person arrive, he hurriedly got up to greet the customer.

"Oh dear, we're here for the banquet too."

"Yes, yes, we have invitations."

"Yes, we can come in now that we have an invitation, right?"

Secretary He quickly checked the information and let the person in.

These people rushed in, their eyes searching through the crowd.

They soon saw Ye Chen.

Clearly, these people have all come for Ye Chen.

Qin Yuyang's gaze shifted to Ye Chen, and after a pause, he nodded at him.

Secretary Yao put on a professional smile and led them to their seats.

After drinking, these adults soon began negotiating with each other.

Led by Qin Yuyang, the others at the main table also started socializing and exchanging WeChat contacts.

Only three children remained; Ye Chen, Bai Jianan, and Qin Yuhai were still standing.

"Xiao Jiu, I remember you like to eat this." Qin Yuhai picked up a piece of abalone and put it in Xiao Jiu's bowl.

Bai Jianan, who was sitting one seat away, quickly placed half a cheese lobster in Xiao Jiu's bowl: "It's already pried open, you can eat the meat directly, it tastes good."

Seeing this, Ye Chen, not to be outdone, put some food on Xiao Jiu's plate: "Xiao Jiu, this dish is quite light, so it's suitable for children."

Xiao Jiu Jiu stared at the full bowl, then at the plate piled high with food, and fell silent.

There's so much, it'll take a long time to eat it all.

"Thank you, but you don't need to serve me any more food. I'll serve myself." Xiao Jiu Jiu smiled.

Smile a little, garlic~

Because many important figures were present, more and more people arrived at the Phoenix Hall one after another.

Secretary Yao and the others had been waiting outside.

Another hour passed before they finally returned to their seats, exhausted, and had the food served again.

No further mishaps occurred during this meal.

Little Jiu Jiu patted her round belly and comfortably slumped in the chair: "I'm full, I'm not eating anymore."

"Would you like some soup?" Qin Yuhai asked.

Xiao Jiu Jiu quickly shook her head: "I'm not drinking anymore, I'm full, really, I can't drink anymore."

Many people wanted to come over to Ye Chen's table to offer a toast, but none of them dared to, and could only watch from afar.

Ye Chen chatted with Xiao Jiu Jiu: "How do you know Bai Jianan?"

"What's it to you?" Bai Jianan immediately retorted.

The atmosphere between the two of them was immediately tense.

Qin Yuhai calmly said, "Xiao Jiu is still here. Are you sure you want to keep arguing?"

Ye Chen and Bai Jianan stopped arguing.

I still want the answer to the question I just asked.

Ye Chen said, "If Xiao Jiu doesn't want to talk about it, that's fine too."

"Oh, no."

Little Jiu Jiu blinked her big eyes and said in her childish voice, "Actually, I met Brother Bai because of Grandpa~"

To be honest, Liu Huai saved Bai Jianan's life before.

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen nodded: "If it's Master Liu, then it is indeed possible."

"I knew Xiao Jiu before you did, hmph!" Bai Jianan snorted and said smugly, "Xiao Jiu should sit here with me."

Ye Chen's expression remained unchanged.

Xiao Jiujiu added, "Grandpa said that Brother Bai is quite capable, and that if I have any problems in the future, I can ask Brother Bai for help."

"What can he do to help you?"

Ye Chen glanced at Bai Jianan, his eyes full of suspicion.

Upon hearing this, Bai Jianan looked smug and said, "You're only just realizing that? I'm Xiao Jiu's backer!"

Seeing that expression made Ye Chen grit his teeth in hatred.

He said, "Xiao Jiu, if you have any difficulties, just tell Brother Ye. Brother Ye will help you. There are many things that even your Brother Bai can't do."

Qin Yuhai watched silently as the two adults argued like children.

A slight smile played on her lips.

Master Liu is too versatile; he can arrange everything.

Seeing the two on the verge of conflict, Xiao Jiujiu switched to her mediating role: "Brother Ye is also amazing, he will protect me."

She smiled sweetly at the two of them.

The two, who had been arguing, immediately stopped arguing.

There's no way around it, the little girl is just too sweet.

Looking at Xiao Jiu Jiu's innocent smile, Ye Chen patted her head and said, "Yes, brother will protect you."

“Me too!” Bai Jianan chimed in from the side.

Ye Chen glanced at him: "What will you use to protect Xiao Jiu?"

"You're such a busybody, shut up." Bai Jianan glared at him defiantly.

The tension between the two of them was palpable once again.

Little secret: Not hard work, just a miserable life.

It looked like the two were about to start arguing again.

Little Jiu Jiu quickly stretched out her little hand to block them, her voice sweet: "Don't argue, Grandpa said we should help each other and get along well!"

Seeing Xiao Jiu Jiu's serious expression, the two sighed helplessly.

They suppressed their anger and stopped arguing.

Qin Yuyang and his group still had social interactions here.

Ye Xuan saw Wan Mengjiao and the others off, leaving Xiao Jiu Jiu and Qin Xin, the three children, behind.

Ye Chen then said, "Xiao Jiu, let me take you home."

“I’ll take you, Xiao Jiu.” Bai Jianan looked at Xiao Jiu Jiu, not wanting to be left behind.

Seeing this, Qin Yuhai said, "I don't trust you with Xiao Jiu. I'll take her back with me."

"Go away!"

"dream!"

The two of them unanimously passed over Qin Yuhai.

Seeing this, Qin Yuhai could only say to the other two little ones, "Come on, let's go home with your uncle."

"Wait a moment."

Xiao Jiujiu looked around and spotted Li Ru's position.

She looked at Qin Hao: "Qin Hao, didn't you want to learn martial arts? I'll take you to see someone."

"Who is it?"

Qin Hao looked at Xiao Jiujiu excitedly.

He was already exhausted at the banquet, but now that he heard he could learn martial arts, Qin Hao was excited.

Xiao Jiu Jiu smiled and said, "He's an incredibly talented person! Many people want to become his apprentice but can't."

But I'm different; I found him for you.

"Waaah, sister, you're the best sister!" Qin Hao burst into tears of gratitude.

Qin Xin: ?

My brother has been possessed?

Xiao Jiu Jiu felt a chill: "You used to call me a little witch."

"Nonsense, that Qin Hao was too ungrateful. I'm a girl now, a girl..."

Qin Hao had the word on the tip of his tongue, but he just couldn't think of what to call it.

Qin Xin quietly reminded him from the side: "Niohuru."

"Yes, I am now Niohuru Qin Hao!"

Qin Hao nodded in satisfaction.

"Let's go."

Xiao Jiujiu brought Qin Hao to Li Ru.

She smiled first: "Grandpa Qing, Uncle Qinghuai, Grandpa Li."

After greeting them, he said to Li Ru, "Grandpa Li, this is the martial arts prodigy I found for you. Take a look."

She pushed Qin Hao to the front: "This is my younger brother, Qin Hao."

Qin Hao glanced at Li Ru cautiously, and immediately took a liking to him.

Because Li Ru was sitting upright at this moment, holding a teacup in one hand and placing the other hand on the table, with a calm gaze.

Like a hermit sage.

He sized up Qin Hao and chuckled, "He's quite a promising martial arts student; his aptitude is good."

"You want to learn martial arts?"

Qin Hao nodded: "Yes, I want to learn martial arts!"

"Practicing martial arts is very hard work. Can you handle it?" Li Ru put down his teacup and asked with a stern face.

Upon hearing this, Qin Hao patted his chest and declared, "I can do it! I will study hard!"

"Then why do you want to learn martial arts?" Li Ru asked seriously.

Qin Hao: "Because of me..."
