Chapter 577: 314 Awkward Bai Ye

Bai Ye had just dropped Fang Yuxin off at the base of the Fang Family building and left with his people, while Chen Qiao and the others followed Fang Yuxin up the stairs. Zhou Han hesitated for a moment before deciding to follow Fang Yuxin as well.

When they reached the third floor, Fang Jintang and Qu Qianhe were already waiting at the door. Upon seeing Fang Yuxin, they asked, "Are you all right?"

Fang Yuxin shook her head without saying a word. It was only after everyone had entered that she briefly recounted the events, finally mentioning Zhao Qiankun’s invitation to the wine party. As soon as she mentioned it, Qu Qianhe said, "We also received an invitation. What on earth is he plotting?"

Logically, the Yongcheng Team of the Fang Family was somewhat obscure, with too few members and no display of remarkable strength to warrant an invitation. Yet Zhao Qiankun had extended one anyway; it was unclear what exactly he had in mind.

Qu Qianhe and Fang Jintang initially had no interest in attending; they did not know Zhao Qiankun, nor did they wish to meet the people of the Qu Family, and get involved in the power struggle of the Beishi Base. However, both of them understood Fang Yuxin very well; they knew she would never speak without purpose. Qu Qianhe asked, "Xinxin, you’re not thinking of going, are you?" She frowned as she spoke, her face full of disapproval.

Fang Jintang glanced at her but didn’t reprimand her. Instead, he said, "Xinxin, first tell us what your plan really is."

Fang Yuxin naturally did not hide anything, saying, "Dad, Mom, do you remember my suspicions about Zhao Qiankun? I suspect that he knew me before, but I have no memory of him whatsoever, which is really strange. If he’s someone I know, there’s no reason I wouldn’t recognize him. Moreover, all these suspicions are just my conjecture. Whether they are right or wrong, I can only confirm them by meeting him in person. Since he has sent the invitation, I would like to see who he really is."

Upon hearing this, the others fell into thought. People who didn’t know Fang Yuxin might not understand, but the Fang Family knew her well. Fang Yuxin was not like other young people; she did not like to take selfies, nor did she like to post her photos on the internet, so it wouldn’t be easy for someone to find her picture online. That is to say, the likelihood of Zhao Qiankun recognizing Fang Yuxin from the internet was not high.

So... how exactly had he come to know her?

Fang Yuyang thought for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Xinxin, could Zhao Qiankun have been a classmate of yours?" Fang Yuyang was also making a wild guess. After all, Zhao Qiankun had appeared in Beishi City, while they had previously lived in Market. Fang Yuxin usually drove when she went out, so it was unlikely that a passerby would recognize her. Therefore, Fang Yuyang felt that it was improbable that Zhao Qiankun had ever seen Fang Yuxin on the street. But if the two had interacted before, Fang Yuxin would certainly remember him.

"A classmate?" Fang Yuxin questioned, then began to recollect, but after thinking for a while, she still shook her head in frustration, "No, that’s not it. I’ve never seen him. I remember what all my classmates looked like, and none of them look like him."

Seeing her frustration, Fang Yuyang said, "Xinxin, don’t think too hard about it. Aren’t you going tonight? You’ll find out once you meet him."

Fang Yuxin nodded, agreeing with Fang Yuyang’s words, as that was what she had in mind, too. After all, she had never seen Zhao Qiankun’s face, so continued pondering was futile. It would be better to prepare for the evening’s wine party.

Since it was a wine party, and it would be held in a high-end hotel, casual clothes clearly wouldn’t suffice—she needed to wear evening gowns. Fang Yuxin had quite a collection of gowns, all of which she had stored in the warehouse at Qingmu Spiritual Mansion when she moved; she hadn’t had the heart to throw them away, and now she could pick one out for use.

Before that, though, Fang Yuxin introduced the new members to Chen Qiao and the others and then brought up the matter of leaving the Beishi Base. In fact, Chen Qiao and his group had not been at the Beishi Base for much longer than Fang Yuxin, arriving just a week earlier. Although the base was indeed stable and had well-established systems, the Market Base where they had previously stayed was also quite good, so they weren’t as attached to the secure life at the Beishi Base as Qian Lang and the others.

On the contrary, since Qu Qianlin was always troubling Fang Yuyang, and Qin Xiran, the young lady, was constantly pestering, their life here was even less comfortable than when they were at the Market Base! So as soon as Fang Yuxin mentioned leaving, they didn’t hesitate at all; they agreed right away.

With everyone unopposed to leaving, the matter became much easier to handle. Fang Yuxin discussed it briefly with them, and the decision was set. As for the specific time of departure, she had to discuss it with Bai Ye first, but it would be within the next few days.
