Chapter 348 The Third Young Master of the Qin Family in the East of the City
Fang Li smiled slightly and said in a gentle tone, "You're all too kind. I'm just a scriptwriter, not as distinguished as you all."
A young man in a royal blue shirt chuckled dismissively, "Mrs. Han is too modest. In terms of status, who among all these people present tonight can compare to the Han family? As long as Miss Xu sticks close to Mr. Han, she will have an equally prominent status!"
Those were truly harsh words, but Fang Li's eyes flashed, and she raised an eyebrow with her smile undiminished: "That's true."
Sheng Qianrui's expression changed drastically; she hadn't expected Fang Li to be so shameless!
Didn't she realize that they were mocking her? And she even had the nerve to respond!
Qin Xudong suddenly chuckled, a newfound interest appearing in his eyes. He looked at Fang Li with a meaningful tone: "I've long heard that Han Xi married a beautiful and intelligent wife. Seeing her today, I can confirm that her reputation is well-deserved."
As soon as Qin Xudong spoke, the men around him all took a small step back.
Fang Li calmly observed everything, then looked up at the man opposite her with narrow eyes and a sharp canine tooth showing on the left side of his mouth when he smiled.
"Oh right, I forgot to introduce you."
Sheng Qianrui's gaze was deep and thoughtful as she smiled and said, "This is Qin Xudong, the third young master of the Qin family in the east of the city. Of course, he is also an old friend of Han Xi."
Han Xi's friend?
Fang Li looked at the man and pondered silently.
Han Xi doesn't have many friends; she's already met the few she's familiar with.
Sheng Qianrui said that this Qin Xudong was Han Xi'er's old friend, but looking at this man, she couldn't help but feel that he didn't look like him.
It's not that I'm judging people by their appearance, it's just that Qin Xudong gives off a really uncomfortable vibe.
Especially her eyes, like a venomous snake lurking in a dark corner, flicking its tongue, always gave her a dangerous and offensive feeling.
As expected, Fang Li didn't know, but Wen Yang, a native of the capital, clearly did.
Upon hearing Sheng Qianrui's introduction, Wen Yang's expression changed instantly. Although she was wearing makeup, her complexion and lip color changed almost imperceptibly.
She secretly pinched the soft flesh on the inside of Fang Li's arm, and Fang Li immediately understood.
Her scrutinizing gaze shifted from Qin Xudong's face, her smile unchanged, but she looked at Sheng Qianrui beside her.
Fang Li gently stroked the stem of the cup. "So you're the third young master of the Qin family. Thank you for the introduction, Miss Sheng. I've heard of the Qin family before, but..."
She paused, a hint of confusion in her eyes, and glanced at the group, saying, "Han Xi seems to have never mentioned having a friend surnamed Qin. Has he forgotten? Or... is this old friend just someone who thinks they know better?"
Qin Xudong's face darkened.
“You…!” Sheng Qianrui’s eyes first showed anger, but then she quickly realized something, tugged at her red lips and looked at Qin Xudong beside her.
"Young Master Qin, it seems Miss Xu looks down on us friends. Sure enough, those who marry into wealthy families have a different kind of confidence. It hasn't been long, and she's already become arrogant!"
Qin Xudong sneered, his narrow eyes narrowing as he stared at Fang Li. "No wonder Han Xi has his eye on her. She's sharp-tongued and has quite the personality!"
Fang Li frowned.
Qin Xudong took another step closer, looking down at Fang Li with a smirk: "Miss Xu? I heard you used to be a celebrity. You're so beautiful, yet you never became famous. Why don't you dump Han Xi and come with me? I'll promote you, how about that?"
These words made Wen Yang furious.
She wanted to say something, but when she met Qin Xudong's gloomy eyes, she couldn't help but think of those rumors. She just held Fang Li's arm tightly and didn't dare to interrupt.
Zhou Yufan frowned and stepped forward, saying, "Isn't Young Master Qin an old friend of President Han? Is it really the work of a friend to blatantly poach someone's talent?"
As soon as Zhou Yufan finished speaking, Qin Xudong's expression changed drastically. He turned to look at him, his eyes filled with ruthlessness: "Who do you think you are? This has nothing to do with you, so shut up."
“The Miss Xu you mentioned is my friend. If Young Master Qin can’t speak properly, this matter will be my responsibility.”
"...You?" Qin Xudong suddenly sneered, his voice full of disdain.
Zhou Yufan stared at him, his eyes calm and unyielding.
"Do you know who you're talking to? Trying to be a hero and save the damsel in distress? Fine, I'll give you a chance!"
Qin Xudong glanced coldly at the men behind him, and they immediately surrounded Zhou Yufan.
"Forget about Han Xi, who do you think you are, daring to act so high and mighty in front of me! Your friend, you're related to me, right? Then let's find a place to have a good talk and see what your relationship is!"
After saying that, the group appeared to be surrounding Zhou Yufan, but in reality, they were grabbing his shoulders and trying to take him away.
Fang Li's face immediately darkened.
Releasing Wen Yang, she stepped forward and forcefully pulled the hand of the man who was near her off Zhou Yufan's shoulder, grabbed Zhou Yufan instead, and looked coldly at Qin Xudong, who was giving orders.
"Young Master Qin, perhaps your status is prominent enough, but don't forget this is a banquet at the X Group. Are you sure you want to cause a scene and let everyone watch the show?!"
"........"
Qin Xudong stared at Fang Li, his face dark, a cold smirk playing on his lips. "Are you angry? Why are you so angry? Is he not your friend, but your... lover?"
"Young Master Qin! Watch your words!"
“Sense of proportion, Miss Xu, what sense of proportion are you referring to? I’m not very knowledgeable, I only know the difference between a foot and an inch.” As he spoke, his gaze moved down and gave Fang Li a wicked look at her chest.
Fang Li felt a chill run down her spine, but any reaction she made to this kind of person could be exaggerated and manipulated by him.
She forcefully suppressed her anger, her face cold as she pursed her lips, "...If it was just speculation before, I can now be basically certain that Han Xi doesn't have this 'old friend' Qin Shao at all."
After saying that, she paused deliberately until she received a slightly questioning look from the other person, then she sneered and said, "Because you are not worthy at all!"
A sinister rage surged in Qin Xudong's eyes.
Sheng Qianrui interjected at the opportune moment, and seeing Qin Xudong's gritted teeth and suppressed anger, she feigned surprise to fan the flames:
"Miss Xu, what you're saying is a bit much. Don't you know that Young Master Qin and Han Xi were classmates in the business school? Back then, at the boxing tournament held in the business school, Han Xi even beat Young Master Qin..."
Sensing the intensifying anger in Qin Xudong's eyes, Sheng Qianrui paused, her gaze meaningful, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
Fang Li glared at her fiercely.
Qin Xudong suddenly sneered: "Yes, Han Xi did win back then, but..."
He took a step closer, lowered his voice, and stared at Fang Li, saying, "At the end of the month, Han Xi was inexplicably beaten up on his way home after finishing his part-time job. I heard that several of his ribs were broken, and one of them almost pierced an internal organ. Who do you think could have been so reckless?"
