Chapter 581: 317 uprising

Zhao Qiankun stepped out to meet the guests, and nearly everyone had arrived except the Bai Family. The Bai Family held the greatest influence at present, so Zhao Qiankun showed them considerable respect by personally greeting them at the entrance and joining them as they entered.

The Bai Family’s attendance was significant, with Bai Yi and Bai Zhengyi, accompanied by Mrs. Bai, among the attendees. Bai Zhengyi appeared to be in his forties or fifties, bearing deep nasolabial folds and a rather cold complexion—a stern figure. His wife looked to be in her forties, slightly plump, wearing a string of thumb-sized pearl necklaces around her neck and pearl earrings, exuding an air of affluence. Her face, unlike her husband’s, was adorned with a welcoming smile.

Fang Yuxin glanced at every member of the Bai Family; as she did so, Bai Ye quietly provided her with information about them, helping her recognize each person. She took note of their identities while also observing the Qu Family members. The Qu Family, who had arrived earlier, came with the Qin family. Qin Xiran, for reasons of rebellion or other, had arrived earlier than the rest of the Qin family.

The Qu Family had also brought many attendees, including Qu Xiuhong and his second wife, Lu Weiwei, Qu Qiancheng with his wife, Qu Qianlin, and other relatives.

Fang Yuxin especially observed two individuals: Qu Xiuhong and Lu Weiwei. Qu Xiuhong was Qu Qianhe’s father and her biological grandfather. Unfortunately, Qu Qianhe had already severed ties with the Qu Family, and Fang Yuxin had no interest in recognizing her relatives. She was simply curious about what kind of man he was.

Qu Xiuhong’s age was evident—whether it was from the burdens he bore or other reasons, he looked rather old. His hair, though black, seemed unnaturally so, clearly dyed. Deep furrows lined his forehead, and his brow was eternally furrowed, with bags hanging under his tired eyes—he resembled an old man near the end of his days.

But then again, what more could be expected from a seventy-year-old? He looked younger than others his age, possibly due to diligent self-care.

Lu Weiwei, on his arm, had her hair styled in an updo. She had obviously dressed up for the occasion, probably maintaining her appearance meticulously, which made her look much younger than Qu Xiuhong. In fact, she was also in her fifties but resembled someone in her forties. Her figure was not overweight, just slightly full, dressed in a deep sapphire blue gown with a plunging neckline revealing a generous view of her ample bosom, her skin pale as snow, complemented by a set of glistening jade jewelry.

With an appropriate smile plastered on her face, she greeted the other wealthy ladies around her. Suddenly, her countenance tensed for a moment.

Following her gaze, Fang Yuxin saw Lu Weiwei looking at Qu Qianhe and immediately tensed, fearful that Lu Weiwei might do something to Qu Qianhe. Meanwhile, both Qu Qiancheng and Qu Xiuhong were assessing the Fang Family. Qu Qiancheng had met Qu Qianhe before, and upon seeing her now, seemingly aged a few years, he couldn’t help but speculate—had something happened?

His feelings towards Qu Qianhe were complex, a mix of a younger brother’s adulation, a sense of inferiority as an illegitimate child, and admiration for her boldness. However, he was Lu Weiwei’s son and a beneficiary of her marriage to Qu Xiuhong. He didn’t blame his mother, attributing the turn of events to fate.

After observing Qu Qianhe, he discreetly scrutinized Fang Yuxin. He had met Fang Yuyang before, but it was his first time seeing Fang Yuxin, and he couldn’t resist checking out his niece. To his surprise, she was strikingly beautiful!

As a superpower user with enhanced vision, he could see that Fang Yuxin wore no makeup, her beauty natural. Qu Qianhe was the same.

The hall was filled with many beautiful women, some of whom were former celebrities with impressive looks. But he was convinced—aside from Qu Qianhe and Fang Yuxin, none of the other women would step out barefaced!

Upon closer inspection, both were beautiful enough to do so. Although Qu Qianhe appeared older than before, she still looked youthful, and her flawless skin meant she had no need for makeup.
