If anyone were to ask who would be the most legendary woman of the 21st century, everyone would answer without hesitation that the one standing on the altar of divinity, Lin Jiayao, is the most legendary…
Just a year into her debut, Lin Jiayao, with her angelic voice and breathtaking beauty, has conquered an entire generation. To everyone, she is an insurmountable peak.
As the crowd stirred, Lin Jiayao slowly regained her elegant composure and gently pulled away from Xiao Yufan’s embrace. A faint, charming smile curved her lips, and her seductive lip color added even more allure.
The middle-aged man’s face darkened, and many people shot him disdainful glances. How dare he disrespect such a beauty in public? If not for the setting, this man would already have been drowned in a sea of criticism…
“My woman must be quite promising, right? I wonder if you could package her better and promote her to the entire world. Your film company seems pretty powerful, am I right?”
Xiao Yufan said mockingly, clearly not taking the man seriously. This man had already crossed his bottom line. If it weren’t for not wanting to cause more trouble, Xiao Yufan would certainly make him pay for slandering his woman.
“Brother, you’re joking. I apologize for my earlier behavior. I failed to recognize who you were and rudely offended the lady. I hope you won’t hold it against me…”
With a forced smile, the man’s expression was somewhat stiff. After all, he was a man of status, and now found himself in such an awkward situation. He couldn’t help but glare at Xiao Yufan with resentment, blaming him for his humiliation.
“How could that be? Surely you don’t think I’m such a petty person, do you?”
Xiao Yufan narrowed his eyes into slits, his lips curling into a subtle smile that sent chills down the middle-aged man’s spine, making him shiver involuntarily.
“Like hell I believe you’re not petty…”
Though nodding with a smile, it was obvious to anyone that the middle-aged man’s smile didn’t reach his eyes. Yet, faced with Xiao Yufan’s outstretched hand, he still took it.
However, a howl of pain soon echoed through the hall. Everyone clearly saw the man’s face flush red, his body trembling involuntarily, the sound of cracking bones clearly audible.
“He’s ruthless…”
Everyone inhaled sharply, watching Xiao Yufan, who remained as calm as ever. No one dared underestimate this brilliant host anymore. His actions were decisive and unhesitating, arrogant yet not unpleasant.
“Next time, don’t slander my woman, or it won’t just be your hand bones that are broken!”
Releasing the middle-aged man’s nearly crippled hand, Xiao Yufan brushed past him and whispered into his ear in a voice only the two of them could hear, cold and chilling.
Numbly nodding, the man endured the sharp pain in his hand, feeling utterly powerless. He at least believed he didn’t have the courage to act here. Anyone bold enough to display such audacity in this place was either showing off or genuinely formidable.
But he preferred to believe it was the former. After all, this was a place for smart people, and no one would be foolish enough to put on a brave face here. Of course, he understood that Xiao Yufan wasn’t like that either…
In a study behind the hall, Steward An silently observed everything that had transpired, his lips twitching slightly. Xiao Yufan’s actions had genuinely surprised him. It seemed this man would never allow himself to be taken advantage of.
“Acting decisively and efficiently, he truly has the potential of a warlord. But that’s not enough. The man for our young mistress must be the finest in the world. Besides, you still have other women around you. It seems you still have a long way to go before you can be together.”
Muttering to himself, An Guan shook his head with a smile. Although Xiao Yufan was already quite exceptional, he still fell short of the standards for the Hu family’s ideal son-in-law. Moreover, would the Hu family allow Xiao Yufan to enjoy such a blissful life with multiple women? This time, he was merely representing Hu Yingluo. However, one thing he was very clear about was that the path for the two to be together would be filled with obstacles…
“I hope your bond with the young mistress is strong enough. Otherwise, it would be a waste of her feelings. You must know that she is facing enormous pressure from the family for you…”
Thinking of Hu Yingluo, who was far away in England,管家 An couldn’t help but sigh. In that family with such traditional values, sometimes even one’s own marriage could not be controlled. If not for Hu Yingluo’s persistence, she would already have been married off to someone else.
Of course, Xiao Yufan was unaware of all this. Watching the middle-aged man leave, his gaze turned sharp and cold. He knew many people at the financial summit were hoping to see him fail, but would he let them have their way?
The answer was naturally no. After dealing with this matter, Xiao Yufan’s gaze shifted to a graceful figure not far away, his icy demeanor softening slightly, his expression turning somewhat playful…
The girls’ eyes followed Xiao Yufan’s gaze, landing on the delicate silhouette, and Yu Yihan’s aura also fluctuated slightly…
“Never thought I’d meet the beautiful Miss Liu in a place like this. Am I really that lucky!”
Looking at the composed figure in the corner, Xiao Yufan couldn’t quite identify his own emotions. This woman had once wounded him with the sharpest words, pushing him to spend a year in training. He should have faced this woman from the Liu family with a condescending attitude, but when he was actually standing before her, he realized he didn’t hate her that much after all…
“This place isn’t your Situ family’s territory either. Can’t I appear here, or is my presence bothering Master Xiao?”
Her body trembling slightly, Liu Hua’s eyes appeared very hollow. From the beginning, she had been watching this man. A year later, Xiao Yufan was indeed no longer the same spoiled young master, but she still couldn’t bring herself to like him.
“Of course not what I meant, but if that’s how you want to interpret it, I won’t stop you. Didn’t expect to see the beautiful Miss Liu again after a year. Your words are still as merciless as ever. I wonder if the Liu family is still as prosperous as before!”
Smirking slightly, Xiao Yufan’s gaze was fixed on Liu Hua’s delicate figure. A year apart hadn’t changed her beauty, but the two of them had changed completely inside…
The atmosphere grew awkward for a moment. Hearing Xiao Yufan’s words, Liu Hua gently turned her head away, her stubbornness heartbreaking. She knew she could never escape this man’s control, but that didn’t mean she had no pride of her own…
