The Rebirth of the Cultivation Leader Qin Zhao as a Celebrity
Chapter 237 - 234: Is He Tired of Her?

Chapter 237: Chapter 234: Is He Tired of Her?

The party hadn’t started yet when Su Xiaotong walked over with Xia Yan.

Upon seeing Qin Zhao, Xia Yan became very excited and approached her, saying, "Miss Qin, I will always remember what you told me before, that being hasty and profit-seeking indeed leads to no good end!"

He had learned about Nan Sijin’s death and couldn’t help feeling deeply emotional.

This opportunity had originally been his, but because he gave it up, they had turned to Nan Sijin. That day, after leaving President Xie’s place, he had even run into Nan Sijin.

Unexpectedly, Nan Sijin had died at their hands.

Not only was President Xie arrested and taken to the police station, but he had also committed suicide by poisoning himself in prison.

Initially, when Xia Yan found out that Nan Sijin had taken his role, he felt some regret. But unexpectedly, Nan Sijin didn’t even live to see his success before his life was claimed.

Now, Xia Yan couldn’t help but feel secretly relieved that he had heeded Qin Zhao’s warning at the time.

After realizing this, Xia Yan’s Fate Diagram also changed.

Qin Zhao smiled at him, "It’s good that you understand, Heaven won’t let down those who try hard."

"Uh-huh!"

Xia Yan’s gaze became firmer than before.

After bringing Xia Yan over, Su Xiaotong spoke briefly to Qin Zhao before going to find Qin Yu. As the owner of an entertainment company, Qin Yu was an important guest invited to the party.

They had officially affirmed their status, so they were boyfriend and girlfriend now.

It was Xia Yan who had sought out Su Xiaotong, wanting to thank Qin Zhao in person, and that’s why Su Xiaotong brought him over.

"Miss Qin, you guys have fun. I’m going to find my friend now."

Xia Yan noticed the man by Qin Zhao’s side, who was even more handsome than most celebrities and had an extraordinary presence, clearly a person of high status.

While he spoke with Qin Zhao, this man had been coldly staring at him.

Chu Yan’s gaze was oppressively intense, making Xia Yan’s scalp tingle, so he quickly left.

In the distance, Qin Kejing followed Shen Xihe to the banquet.

Seeing Chu Yan next to Qin Zhao, Shen Xihe’s eyes darkened subtly. He casually said to Qin Kejing, "Your sister is over there, aren’t you going to say hello?"

"You know I don’t get along with her. What’s there to greet?"

"After all, you are family."

Qin Kejing abruptly turned to look at him, her face looking somewhat unpleasant.

"Xihe, you never used to encourage me to greet her before, you’d rather have me stay away from her. You once said that someone like her could lead me astray. Do you still remember saying that?"

Shen Xihe frowned slightly, "I don’t recall that, but since we and Qin Zhao were high school classmates, and she’s your sister, I think greeting her wouldn’t hurt."

Qin Kejing didn’t speak for a long time, her expression flickering.

Out of the blue, she said, "Shen Xihe, you’re not thinking of going back to her, are you?"

"What do you mean by that?"

Shen Xihe’s expression cooled, a trace of anger flashing in his eyes.

It was unclear whether it was the irritation of having his intentions exposed or something else.

"If I had any other intentions towards Qin Zhao, why would I have broken off our engagement before? As your fiancé, I just hope you can get along well with your family."

It was the first time Shen Xihe had spoken to Qin Kejing so sternly, which took her by surprise.

After a while, Qin Kejing finally spoke, "I, of course, want to get along well with my family, but you know what kind of person my sister is. I want to get along with her, but she might not feel the same."

"Suit yourself, I have no right to interfere with your family matters anyway."

Shen Xihhe said something ambiguous, then turned and left. He went to find his friends, walking swiftly and clearly not intending to take Qin Kejing with him.

Qin Kejing stood still, her expression somewhat embarrassed and anxious.

Because lately, Shen Xihhe had been growing colder toward her. Sometimes when she messaged him, he would reply if he felt like it, and when she asked him out, he mostly said he was busy with work and then refused.

Qin Kejing reflected on this, feeling that it might be because of these issues that she was so sensitive to his remarks.

But why had his attitude toward her changed recently?

Indeed, Shen Xihhe had been growing increasingly annoyed with Qin Kejing, but not because of Qin Zhao, rather because the Qin family had been growing close to the Xu family recently, and Qin Kejing had even become good friends with Xu Zhiwei.

The Xu family and the Lu family were in cahoots; both families were virtually tied together.

The last time Shen Xihhe was imprisoned, it was because the Lu family wanted him to take the fall. If the Criminal Police Team hadn’t overturned the case, Shen Xihhe’s life would have been ruined, spending his remaining days in prison.

So how could he have a good impression of the Xu and Lu families?

His family’s power was no match for these two families. If they couldn’t provoke them, they just had to avoid them indefinitely, never to deal with these families again in his lifetime.

Unfortunately, his fiancée Qin Kejing didn’t take this to heart and kept interacting with the Xu family. Just a few days ago, she even dined with Xu Zhiwei’s aunt, who was also Lu Tingming’s wife.

Coincidentally, Shen Xihhe had seen them that day.

"Jingjing, you’re also here for the charity gala?"

A surprised voice interrupted Qin Kejing’s thoughts.

She turned around and saw it was Feng Aiyuan.

Feng Aiyuan was wearing a billowing black gauze dress and her hairstyle was rather old-fashioned, which aged her several years beyond her real age.

Disgust filled Qin Kejing’s eyes, but her face bore a smile.

"What a coincidence, what are you doing here?"

She wondered, how did this rustic girl qualify to attend the gala?

Feng Aiyuan’s brother was a nouveau riche who had inherited a large fortune, and he wanted to connect with the Qin family, so he had invested a lot of money into the Qin’s business, pulling them out of a crisis.

Otherwise, Qin Kejing definitely wouldn’t have dealt with such a nouveau riche. Seeing Feng Aiyuan’s attire, she felt it lowered her own standard and didn’t want to stand next to her.

Feng Aiyuan cheerily said, "I’m here to chase stars, my brother invested some money in this entertainment company."

Her skin was dark, and she had a sturdy build.

Whoever chose that black gauze dress for her made her look even more formidable, a large figure standing next to Qin Kejing.

Qin Kejing, not wanting to be associated with her, quickly turned and walked away.

But Feng Aiyuan followed, feeling a close connection with her, even taking Qin Kejing’s arm.

During Qin Kejing’s moment of annoyance, the auction began.

A high platform was set up ahead, and a piece of jewelry was brought up, the host beginning to introduce the item.

Qin Zhao and Chu Yan were standing at a relatively forward position.

She wasn’t very interested in the jewelry; the main reason she was standing so close was that she had again sensed that strange aura, confirming that the auctioned jewelry was problematic.

Jewelry with this kind of yin energy was either a burial object taken from a tomb or had belonged to someone who died unexpectedly while wearing it.

The staff brought up the finale piece of jewelry, lifting the red cloth, and everyone gasped in amazement.
