Chapter 493: Ouyang Wei, Confrontation

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Xu Yaoguang wore a tightly-buttoned black trench coat.

His eyes were light, and he was speaking to someone with his head lowered.

His expression was as cold as ever.

Everyone around him nodded at him, indicating his status in this banquet hall.

After graduation, Qin Yu had only met him once in front of Beijing University’s campus.

Since then, she hadn’t paid much attention to him.

Later, Xu Yaoguang had asked some questions about her violin score twice. But because of what happened online, she stopped contacting him.

1

Until he appeared in front of her today.

She couldn’t help but take a step back, staggering in her heels.

Fourth Master Qin had already walked over to greet him.

“Why are you here?” Her fingernails dug into her palm as she tried to calm herself.

Xu Yaoguang kept his eyes low and glanced past her without any ripples in his eyes.

He nodded slightly to Fourth Master Qin and his party.

Despite being treated with extreme caution by the Shen and Lin families, Fourth Master Qin didn’t feel neglected at all.

Qin Yu was ignored from beginning to end.

“You know Young Master Xu?” At the side, Fourth Master Qin looked sideways at her. “Oh, that’s right, you and Young Master Xu are in the same year. He was in Yun Cheng in his third year of high school. You two should be schoolmates.”

Qin Yu nodded in a daze.

Perhaps because of her relationship with Xu Yaoguang, Fourth Master Qin became more patient with her.

Seeing her slightly disappointed and surprised expression, he smiled a little. “It’s normal for people like Young Master Xu not to remember you. He’s the next patriarch of the Xu family and has been in charge of the family affairs for a year. Your classmate relationship still remains.”

He spoke lightly, not knowing how much impact this brought to Qin Yu.

Back then, she had made insinuations at Xu Yaoguang. He had always lived a simple life, rode in Qiao Sheng’s car, and even lived in the community dormitory…

Her brain hummed loudly, and everyone around her turned into a blur.

Her ears buzzed.

**

At 9:30 am, most of the people were already seated. Those sitting in the main and second seats were all from the four major families.

Xu Yaoguang and the second generation were in the second seats.

Old Master Cheng and the elders were in the main seats.

Before the commencement of the heir ceremony, everyone spent time socializing. Besides the Xu and Cheng families, no family could afford such a luxurious banquet.

“My father still came.” Cheng Raohan held a wine glass and smiled at his confidant. “It seems like he hasn’t lost his mind because of my Third Bro and that girl.”

Neither Old Master Cheng nor Cheng Wenru went to her banquet.

1

In the past, even if they didn’t both go, at least one of them would.

With that said, it seemed like Old Master Cheng and Cheng Wenru didn’t take Qin Ran that seriously, after all.

Not far away, Cheng Juan and Qin Ran walked over.

Cheng Raohan paused.

He sneered. “These two people came by themselves?”

Those who came to this banquet were basically from the top circles. Most of them knew Cheng Juan but weren’t familiar with him. Other than Jiang Dongye, few people dared to greet him.

Qin Ran and Cheng Juan also sat on the second seats.

The second seats sat more young people, including Second Uncle Xu. Xu Yaoguang was still entertaining the guests outside.

“Mr. Xu.” Someone called Second Uncle Xu. “Who on earth is Elder Xu’s heir? Is it really not Young Master Xu?”

Speaking of this, Second Uncle Xu shook his head calmly. “No. We don’t have much news, either.”

Not to mention the others, even the Xu family was curious as well.

While they were talking, Cheng Juan and Qin Ran arrived.

Second Uncle Xu naturally knew Qin Ran, the great hero of the Research Institute who had limitless future achievements.

“Student Qin Ran, no, I should call you comrade researcher Qin.” Second Uncle Xu stood up, greeted Cheng Juan, and then very politely shook hands with Qin Ran. “I hope to work with you in the future.”

Most people at the dining table had also heard of Qin Ran, a hot character in Beijing.

He turned to Cheng Juan.

Cheng Juan was pulling out a chair for Qin Ran.

Everyone who knew Cheng Juan, except for Cheng Raohan, was stunned.

Qin Ran and Cheng Juan’s relationship was known only to a few people in the Cheng family. Too many things had been happening in Beijing recently and most people’s attention was on the Xu family in Continent M.

The other families didn’t care about the love story of the licentious Third Young Master of the Cheng family.

1

The rumors that had previously arisen in the circle remained as a girl bad in her studies and who had bought her way into university.

No one knew the cause of this rumor, but it was said that the source was reliable, so most of them believed it. After all, what couldn’t the Crown Prince of the Cheng family not do?

1

Therefore, nobody paid much attention to his illicit love affair after this.

Until today…

Qin Ran’s basic information was no longer a secret in Beijing. Both her age and place of birth were the same as the previous rumors…

As for others…

School slacker? She bought her way into university?

Who on earth spread such a rumor?

The ignorant people at the dining table were all stunned.

Only Cheng Raohan’s expression darkened.

After a long while, the others finally reacted. Second Uncle Xu glanced at Qin Ran and asked about her teacher. “Have you found a teacher? I heard that Director Fang has been asking about you?”

“Director Fang?” A soft voice came from behind, as light as a breeze.

Upon hearing this voice, everyone, except Cheng Juan and Qin Ran, stood up and politely greeted Ouyang Wei.

Not even Cheng Raohan was surprised.

“Miss Ouyang.”

“Miss Ouyang.”

“…”

Qin Ran realized that this was the one with a great reputation in Beijing and who was also Cheng Mu’s goddess previously. She leaned back in her chair and glanced behind her.

Ouyang Wei lightly glanced at her.

In the next second, she turned to Second Uncle Xu and said generously, “Director Fang told me only two days ago that he has no plans of accepting a disciple for the time being.”

Upon hearing this, Cheng Raohan couldn’t help but lower his head, concealing the sneer on his face.
