interrupted the chosen one's boasting and became the focus of the entire audience.
Imperial Club.
This is a top-tier club located in the capital of the Donghua Empire.
Getting in isn't just a matter of having money.
You also need to have sufficient credentials and be recommended by other members to be able to enter.
Here, you can see superstars with immense influence, beautiful women, wealthy people from all over the world who can shake up the industry with a stomp of their feet, and big shots from all walks of life.
However, these "big shots" who have great influence outside are only at the bottom of the hierarchy in the club, just for show.
Those born into powerful and influential families, naturally gifted and almost holding the reins of the empire's upper echelons, are the clients of the Imperial Club.
The "big shots" who desperately squeezed in were only trying to find a "master" for themselves by currying favor with these scions of powerful families.
Inside the Imperial Club, the "Game of Thrones" is playing out all the time.
At this moment, in the banquet hall of the Imperial Club, a slightly haggard and aloof figure stood alone.
Everyone around him subconsciously kept a safe distance from him.
Many pairs of strange gazes focused on Leng Ruobing's expression, some with a cold smile, some with mockery, and some with complex emotions...
Leng Ruobing's face was pale, her eyes filled with undisguised worry and exhaustion. Dressed in a white dress, she resembled a delicate snow lotus standing atop an icy peak.
It's as if a gust of wind will blow it away.
She has lost a lot of weight compared to before.
Clearly, this lucky heroine's situation has not been good these past few days.
The father fell into a coma, the mother disappeared, and the entire Leng family fell apart...
In the past few days, she has asked almost everyone she could for help.
Even her father's former friends, members of families on good terms with the Leng family, or her close friends all treated her like a plague carrier, fearing the slightest possible involvement...
This former "Ice Beauty," one of the Four Beauties of Yanjing, has now become a joke.
This is the basis for the rumors that she had been taken advantage of by Young Master Chen, which made many people who coveted her wary, fearing that they would get into big trouble and dare not make a move.
Otherwise, it is easy to imagine what would happen to a woman who has lost power and family influence, but still possesses stunning beauty.
I fear that one night, they might disappear without a trace and end up in some dark room, where they will be defiled and played with.
Leng Ruobing was naturally well aware of this.
In the past few days, she has sought help from many people. During this time, some people showed evil eyes, but quickly disappeared without a trace, for fear of bringing trouble upon themselves.
Even Leng Ruobing probably didn't expect that it was precisely because of the rumors circulating about her and Chen Beiyuan that she was able to maintain her innocence.
However, that's all there is to it.
Is there really no hope?
Leng Ruobing stood there, her face pale and her eyes glazed over.
At that moment, she didn't notice that there was another pair of eyes watching him from not far away.
"Ruo Bing".
Lin Xiao, dressed in a sharp suit and looking handsome, stood on the second floor, looking down at Leng Ruobing, who seemed to have been abandoned by the whole world, and a hint of heartache flashed in his eyes.
Despite feeling somewhat uncomfortable after being slapped by Leng Ruobing for no reason, I still feel uneasy.
But he knew very well that it was all because that bastard Chen Beiyuan had secretly instigated and framed Leng Ruobing, causing her to misunderstand.
Deep down, he still harbored feelings for Leng Ruobing.
Back then, when he had given everything to get into Donghua University, the moment he saw Leng Ruobing for the first time, he made up his mind that he would marry no one but this woman.
A young person's lust... no, it should be called being moved, is always unforgettable.
"Ruobing, don't worry, I won't look down on you. I will make up for everything I owe you before."
He had no connections and no options before, so he could only watch helplessly as the woman he loved was humiliated.
Now that he has the support of the powerful Lin family of Donghua, the troubles of the Leng family are no longer so insurmountable for him.
He believed that as long as he took action to resolve the Leng family's troubles, Leng Ruobing would almost willingly become his woman.
Thinking of this, Lin Xiao couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.
He straightened his clothes and walked towards the hall, preparing to appear before Leng Ruobing as a savior.
Let's light a ray of light for this woman who is lost and in darkness.
He could already imagine the uproar he would cause at the banquet when he stood before Leng Ruobing, protecting the Leng family in the name of the Donghua Lin family, and becoming the center of attention for everyone present...
He's about to show off!
boom!
As Lin Xiao stepped into the banquet hall.
Suddenly, a commotion and commotion arose ahead.
The numerous important figures who were conversing suddenly frowned, somewhat displeased.
In an instant, all eyes instinctively turned to the noble and dignified figure who strode into the Imperial Club's banquet hall, causing a commotion and uproar.
Even Leng Ruobing, who had been keeping her head down, stared blankly at that familiar figure at this moment.
In an instant, the entire hall fell silent!
The entire banquet hall seemed to have been put on pause.
The noble and imposing figure, however, remained completely unaffected, even appearing completely unfazed, as if his presence was destined to make him the center of attention.
"That's...that's..."
"Young Master Chen?! He actually came to the Empire Club!"
"Young Master Chen? That mysterious young master of the Chen family of Donghua?!"
That person has never attended any formal banquets and rarely appears in public.
"This is a truly important figure, the young master of the Chen family of Donghua, the designated successor, the future eighth-rank Battle Emperor, one of the most elite second-generation power holders in the empire!"
"....."
Ignoring the gasps echoing through the hall, Chen Beiyuan walked to a corner of the hall, sat down on the sofa, and crossed his legs.
His gaze swept across the entire room, carrying a strong sense of oppression, like an emperor inspecting his territory and people.
And at the very moment he sat down.
Leng Ruobing watched helplessly as those "big shots" who had previously been arrogant in front of her now surrounded Chen Beiyuan like lapdogs seeing their master.
Many young ladies from wealthy and powerful families walked over, their faces flushed and their eyes glazed over.
"Young Master Chen, my name is Huang Qianqiu, ranked twenty-eighth on the Donghua Empire's rich list, and I own several international trading companies..."
"Young Master Chen, I am Yun Xiao from the Yun family. I had a brief encounter with you when I accompanied my father to the Chen family years ago..."
"Young Master Chen, Young Master Chen, I am Kui Shaoqiu of the Kui family. My father currently serves under the Chen family head..."
"Young Master Chen, my name is Bai Jie..."
...
Lin Xiao's smile instantly froze, his eyes fixed on Chen Beiyuan, who was surrounded by countless people, trembling with anger.
I haven't even started showing off yet!
You fucking went first?!
