Chapter 781: Chapter 781: Quan Jinbei She Must Win

Quan Jinbei wasn’t surprised to receive an invitation from Quan Chengyi.

However...

He was surprised that Quan Chengyi would lower himself to the extent of earnestly begging him to make sure he attended.

Those who knew him were aware that anyone who could even hold a banquet at his level would send him an invitation.

Whether he would attend was another matter, but the attitude had to be correct.

This rule applied no matter the circumstance.

Quan Chengyi couldn’t possibly be unaware of it.

His insistence on personally inviting Jinbei meant there had to be a reason.

Facing Jinbei’s puzzled look, Quan Chengyi could only explain that his daughter hoped he would attend to express her gratitude, "Jinbei, your uncle knows he’s been troubling you a lot lately, but Feifei just came home, and it’s rare for her to have a wish. Please, for your uncle’s sake, you must come!"

After saying that, seeing no particular expression on Quan Jinbei’s face, Quan Chengyi added, "Even if you just come to make an appearance, that would be okay."

Quan Chengyi had made such a request, and Quan Jinbei simply agreed.

Of course, that was just what Quan Chengyi thought.

In fact, Quan Jinbei agreed, not because he wanted to give Quan Chengyi face.

It was because Shi Yaoguang suspected that Quan Chengyi must have had some strange purpose in insisting on the invitation.

"I hope I’m overthinking it," Shi Yaoguang lamented when analyzing the situation with Quan Jinbei.

If she wasn’t overthinking, then this world... would have become a sieve?

Having Fan Yanshu wasn’t enough; now there was Quan Chengyi and his daughter as well.

...

The Best Actress System didn’t even know that its existence was almost exposed.

Although Yaoguang hadn’t confirmed its existence yet, she was already becoming aware of it, which was enough to illustrate the problem.

Luckily for the Best Actress System, it didn’t know any of this and had been diligently working ever since it bound with Feifei.

Once Feifei joined "The Romantic Prince" cast, she quickly became the darling of the group.

Or rather, by relying on the existence of the System, she became the darling of the main male characters in the cast.

As a result, the female members of the cast were quite unhappy with her.

Feifei complained to the System, "System, you can help me gain the favor of men, so why can’t you help me improve the favorability of women?"

"If the System does everything, what do we need you, the host, for?"

The Best Actress System was firm, "Please, Host, understand your place. The System isn’t indispensable to you."

Feifei’s rising temper was successfully quelled.

Indeed, the System wasn’t indispensable to her.

Moreover, according to the System, if she completed the task and became the best actress, she could completely bind with it and continue doing tasks in other worlds.

Thinking about this made her uncontrollably excited.

Dangling the System’s carrot, she no longer cared about whether or not she could win the favor of other women.

After all, there were so many men willing to protect her.

If she could win the heart of the male lead, she would be able to have her way in the cast.

Even now, treating him like a brother, she could still have her way.

Although Feifei had been doing well in the cast these past few days, she hadn’t forgotten her ultimate goal.

She was determined to win over Quan Jinbei!

Quan Jinbei was the very best man in this world!

As for whether there were even better men above him...

Such as the kings of other countries or something, she had never considered that.

Maybe, it was also because she was self-aware, aware that she didn’t have the means to interact with those people.

As far as she could see, the only high-quality man she could target was him.

As for the fact that he was already married, that wasn’t within her consideration.

So what if he was married?

It wasn’t as though she hadn’t been with married men before, the first time a novice, the second an expert.

Even, she believed that with experience, when it came to such affairs, she only became more efficient....

...

Time flew, and before long it was the day of Quan Chengyi’s banquet.

The invitations that Quan Chengyi sent out had made the purpose of his banquet clear.

Many were surprised at his sudden recovery of his daughter.

After all, Quan Chengyi’s daughter had been lost for nearly twenty years.

So long had passed, quite a few had speculated in private whether she might have already died.

Unexpectedly, Quan Chengyi had suddenly found her.

He even went as far as to acknowledge her publicly with such fanfare.

Curiosity getting the better of some, they inquired privately, and learnt of the background of the daughter Quan Chengyi had acknowledged.

When it was revealed she was formerly Mr. Pang’s kept mistress, some decided they did not wish to get involved with the banquet.

As members of the elite, everyone cared about their reputation.

If Feifei were pure and untarnished, they naturally wouldn’t mind attending the banquet to save Quan Chengyi’s face.

But Feifei’s previous status was too shameful to be displayed publicly.

Under such circumstances, welcoming her presence would be asking too much.

This group of people originally didn’t want to attend the banquet.

But upon hearing that Quan Jinbei would also be there, they changed their minds.

If they could make a connection with Quan Jinbei at the banquet, enduring Feifei’s presence just might be worth it.

Quan Chengyi had no idea that if it weren’t for Feifei’s accidental request, the attendance for the banquet held for Feifei wouldn’t have been so unblemished.

On the day of the banquet, Feifei wore a light pink lace long dress, which, paired with her gentle appearance, gave her the air of an innocent young girl.

However...

There weren’t many who truly appreciated her appearance in the room.

Even a few of the distinguished ladies had their criticisms of her.

The reason was that she had once been the subject of their investigations.

Because she had nearly become the mistress of their husbands.

Of course, Feifei was aware that she wasn’t welcomed.

But she didn’t care in the least.

Being unwelcome was nothing new to her; she wasn’t afraid at all.

She didn’t necessarily have a high opinion of these resentful wives either.

After receiving a subtle roll of the eyes, Feifei couldn’t help but vent to the System.

"These women are really funny, blaming their men for straying instead of keeping an eye on them."

"If they had the charm to keep their men’s hearts, there’d be no cheating. They can’t keep their men and blame other women for attracting their husband’s gaze."

As she spoke, she flipped her hair, "Tempting? If men can be tempted by me, it shows their conviction isn’t strong enough."

"Besides, my ability to attract men is my skill... If they’re unhappy, they can try and tempt my man."

Saying this, she narrowed her eyes, a determined look in her eye, "Quan Jinbei... I must have you!"

The Best Actress System, listening to her morally dubious speech, was somewhat speechless: "Don’t get sidetracked."

"How am I getting sidetracked?" Feifei snorted. "What’s the point of becoming a Best Actress? Isn’t it to be adored? If I personally take action, making men fall at the hem of my pomegranate dress, wouldn’t that be more effective than the slow process of becoming a Best Actress?"
