The Goddess is Sweet and Aloof
Chapter 495 - Chapter 495 Chapter 495_1

Chapter 495: Chapter 495_1 Chapter 495: Chapter 495_1 Si Limo’s heart stirred quietly, unsure of what to say.

His beauty, indeed, was unmatched.

“Limo, I really want to go,” Qiao Xiaren spoke again, showing no signs of jesting, “You said you’d support me in whatever I do. There are two main gangs involved in the smuggling this time, one is Brother Qiu and the other is Dark Night, the organization that has been backing Brother Qiu for a long time. I want to lead a squad of special forces to deal with Brother Qiu personally. This way, you can focus on hitting Dark Night directly.”

Si Limo was struck dumb; he had indeed said so. Life is too short, all that one wishes for is a lifetime of unbridled joy. His beauty, when pampered, only leaves a frightening impression.

“Alright.”

If she wanted a squad, he’d give her one.

If she wanted to do it, why shouldn’t he support her?

The thought of special forces being led by a woman to annihilate the smugglers would undoubtedly leave them in shock, their expression filled with disbelief and resistance.

Of course, that was a story for another time.

Upon receiving Si Limo’s verbal agreement, Qiao Xiaren let out a sigh of relief: “Let’s hurry into the venue, quite a few people have arrived for the banquet.”

“Alright.”

Si Limo lifted his arm, and Qiao Xiaren, in perfect sync, looped her arm in his, leading him towards the entrance of the banquet hall. Just from looking at the list of notable vehicles gathered at the entrance, one could tell the attendees of the banquet were of high prestige.

When Qiao Lang arrived, the reporters onsite let loose a barrage of flashes towards the Maybach that made a slow entrance. The continuous white flashes of the cameras flickered against the Maybach worth millions. The one who sat inside was no ordinary figure but the eldest daughter of the Qiao Family and the CEO’s wife of Wang Group, Qiao Lang.

Today, Qiao Lang ditched her usual elegant and fresh appearance for a look of grandeur and opulence. She was clad in a custom-made qipao, her hair coiled high up on her head, the embodiment of regality.

In particular, the full set of pearl jewelry she wore was blinding everyone present. This fully embellished pearl set was a gift from Qiao’s Grandmother as an adulting present to her granddaughter. Back then, Qiao’s Grandfather had bid a diamond worth a hundred million at an auction to gift his four-year-old daughter, sending shock-waves throughout the whole business world.

They could only silently marvel at the boldness of the affluent while looking at those priceless jewelry pieces that they could never obtain, not even in the market.

Wang Yecheng wore a dark suit, looking perfectly complementary to his spouse.

The welcoming party at the entrance of the grand hall was hosted by Madam Lan and her stepdaughter, Lan Lan. Given the grandiosity of the banquet and the gathering of VIPs from all walks of life, the Lan Family took the reception very seriously. It was understandable that Madam Lan was personally welcoming the guests who were all people of great influence.

In fact, this was the first time both Madam Lan and Lan Lan were seen together at such a large meeting. Madam Lan had married into the family more than a decade ago, becoming the real stepmother of two under-aged children.

But who could object, considering she had married into a wealthy family?

Now, Madam Lan, elegantly dressed, was wearing a gleaming ruby necklace around her fair neck, her hair stylishly arranged. She did give off an aura of high society.

Her face wore an elegant and dignified smile, and owing to her maintenance, she looked only in her early thirties. Next to her stood a young girl of just twenty, dressed in a white chiffon dress. Her charming and slender legs stood out more against the fringe of her skirt, making her seem elegantly alluring.

Especially with the height added by her high heels, she appeared even more enchanting.
