Chapter 585: Wholeheartedly devoted

Qu Qianlin’s voice was loud. Although he had been quite scared of Zhao Qiankun, the provocation from Fang Yuxin and Qu Qiancheng had stoked a fire in his heart, and now he spoke deliberately loudly, wishing everyone in the entire hall could hear him.

The hall had been quiet, especially since Qu Qianlin started causing trouble, it had grown even quieter, with almost everyone secretly paying attention to the situation. Many were trying to be discreet, appearing to still be conversing. As soon as Qu Qianlin raised his voice, these people couldn’t help but look over again, sizing up Fang Yuxin. Then, the looks on their faces grew complex.

Fang Yuxin was indeed beautifully dressed today, which hadn’t been as apparent outside, but once inside the hall, under the lights, the sparkling gems adorning her dress began to shimmer, and combined with the ethereal quality of the dress itself, she looked stunning. Moreover, her tall and slender figure, delicate features, fair skin, and exquisite face truly made her a rare beauty.

But for Qu Qianlin to say she dressed like a "demon" was simply too much. Fang Yuxin hadn’t styled her hair at all, her face was free from makeup, and the only piece of jewelry she wore was the White Jade Bracelet on her wrist. If anything, her attire was limited to a beautiful dress. The effect was mainly because she was naturally beautiful. Was it that she must dress down to avoid being accused of seducing others?

Qu Qianlin was really being shameless!

Moreover, those who knew about Fang Yuxin’s relationship with the Qu Family looked down on Qu Qianlin even more. After all, Fang Yuxin was Qu Qianlin’s own niece by marriage, and for him to speak of her this way was simply inhuman.

On top of that, every woman in the hall had dressed up carefully for the event. Were they all trying to seduce Zhao Qiankun? Qu Qianlin’s insult was directed not only at Fang Yuxin but also offended all the other women present.

Fang Yuxin saw everyone’s reaction in the hall and gave Qu Qianlin a deep look, cursing him as an idiot in her mind. Then she said to Zhao Qiankun, "Mr. Zhao, I’m very sorry. It seems Mr. Qu has a lot of issues with me, so I’ll take my leave now; otherwise, I fear this banquet cannot continue."

With that, the Fang Family also stood up and apologized before preparing to leave. No one expected things to escalate to this point, not even Zhao Qiankun. Just moments ago, Fang Yuxin was full of arrogance, and Zhao thought she had something up her sleeve. Little did he expect her to fold her banners and even leave the banquet.

This would surely show everyone that she was afraid of Qu Qianlin. Zhao Qiankun faintly felt that this was not Fang Yuxin’s style. Moreover, he didn’t want Fang Yuxin to leave just like that. They had barely met, and they hadn’t even danced yet; how could he let her leave now?

So he said, "You are all my guests. If you cannot enjoy yourselves, then I, as the host, have truly failed in my duty." At this point, he looked toward Qu Qianlin, his words now carrying a strong warning, "Mr. Qu, I don’t care what misunderstanding you have with the Fang Family, this is my banquet, and I hope no one ruins it. I hope you can grant me this favor!"

Qu Qianlin glared fiercely at Fang Yuxin, thinking that she was indeed cozying up to Zhao Qiankun. This time, however, he didn’t dare continue his bravado. Zhao Qiankun’s words were clear—if he caused more trouble, it would be a direct insult to Zhao Qiankun!

Fang Yuxin felt somewhat disappointed; she was indeed planning to leave, having already met Zhao Qiankun’s people and accomplished her objective. There was no need to stay and be gawked at like a monkey.

But with Zhao Qiankun speaking this way, leaving would be disrespectful to him, and leaving Beishi Base in the future might also become troublesome, so she decided to stay. She sighed internally, unable to help cursing Qu Qianlin as useless—why couldn’t he continue causing a commotion now?

Zhao Qiankun, pleased with the outcome, smiled at her contentedly, then walked toward the central podium where a microphone and a tower of wine glasses had already been prepared. He spoke some words to liven up the mood and personally poured the wine, loudly saying, "I toast everyone here; I hope everyone enjoys themselves tonight!" After finishing his drink, he clapped his hands, and a hanging curtain slowly rose, revealing the band that had been prepared behind it.
