This charity banquet would be held on the Jiangbei City's Yanran Mountain.
This mountain wasn't big, and according to the specifications, it could only be called a hill. However, the scenery on the mountain was extremely good, and it matched the proverb: Spring has a hundred flowers, autumn has a month, summer has cool winds, winter has snow, the four seasons have different scenery. In Jiangbei, this busy city, there was a unique scenery line.
However, this mountain was not originally called Yanran.
Legend has it that dozens of years ago, it was here that the young master of the Sheng Tian met his daughter.
At that time, the peach blossoms filled the sky, shining brilliantly. At that time, the young miss of Zhan Family, Zhan Yan, who was in her prime, stood in the field and smiled sweetly. From then on, she captured the heart of the young master of Sheng Tian.
After that, the young master of the Sheng Tian bought this mountain and changed his name to Yanran. He then built an extremely luxurious and elegant villa on Yanran Mountain as a witness of their love.
Unfortunately, the two of them went to the United States together. Zhan Yan's health wasn't good, so she rarely came back to live.
However, their son Leo Qin understood his parents' worry about the house being deserted. Every time he returned to the Jiangbei, he would hold a charity di
er on the mountain where his parents met each other to pray for his parents' blessings.
Naturally, those invited to such a prestigious charity di
er were all celebrities, but not everyone was invited. Each of the guests had to be carefully screened before they could be present in person.
Therefore, anyone who participated in this banquet would feel honored. This was the equivalent of affirming their own identity.
However, there would occasionally be some uninvited people who would sneak into the venue, such as Gu Nanjing, who was currently walking around the banquet.
Gu Nanjing did not receive the invitation, in order to get the Sheng Tian's invitation, he had to spend a lot of money, and also begged a lot of people to get a thin invitation.
After finally getting into the upper echelons of Jiangbei, Gu Nanjing naturally did not give up the opportunity. No matter who arrived, Gu Nanjing would take the initiative to come forward and talk to them, treating this place as the home ground of the Gu family.
Therefore, when Qin Yue and Jian Ran arrived, Gu Nanjing, who was busy hugging his thighs in the crowd, was the first to see them.
Qin Yue and Jian Ran arrived late at the banquet. However, the moment they entered the venue, everyone, whether they were chatting, flirting, or drinking, looked over. For a second or two, the venue was quiet.
No extravagant words would be enough to describe the breathtaking feeling this pair of men and women gave off.
Qin Yue was tall and handsome. He was dressed neatly and had a noble and calm temperament. As soon as he entered the venue, he suppressed the noise and bustle of the entire room, as if an emperor had come to visit.
Beside him was Jian Ran. Jian Ran held Qin Yue's hand. Her brows were clear but attractive. She smiled faintly, and her eyes were filled with a watery luster. Her long hair was tied up with exquisite water drill butterflies.
The two walked into the meeting place hand in hand, occasionally looking at each other. The men were gentle and firm, while the women were content and reassured — it was as if they could have the world with a single glance.
Everyone couldn't help but sigh in amazement. What a celestial couple!
Gu Nanjing had to admit. He had always known that Jian Ran was extremely beautiful. That kind of beauty was like a mountain stream flowing with clear spring water. What he didn't know was that Jian Ran could also be like this, breathtakingly beautiful, despairingly beautiful, and could make butterflies risk their lives to accompany them.
Qin Yue, who was beside her, used his low key and restrained aura to perfectly suppress the clamor on Jian Ran's body, making her look even more charming.
Unconsciously, Gu Nanjing clenched his wine cup so tightly that it turned white. He even wanted to rush over and snatch Jian Ran back to let everyone know that this woman belonged to him.
The noisy banquet seemed to have turned silent in an instant. Gu Nanjing could no longer hear anything and could only see the existence of Qin Yue and Jian Ran with his angry red eyes.
The smile on Jian Ran's face when she was with Qin Yue was so eye-catching, as if she was silently mocking him.
No, he could not sit still and wait for death. He had to take the initiative and make that surnamed Qin look bad.
If he had to choose between the two, then it would be tonight. He had to let that Qin guy know that this kind of upper class circle was not something that a little i
ovative CEO like him could enter.
Gu Nanjing raised his glass and drank the red wine in it. Then, he found a secluded place and hid in the darkness. He wanted to wait for an opportunity to make his move.
After Jian Ran left the capital, she had never attended such a charity di
er again. Now, faced with such a gorgeous banquet venue as well as all sorts of upper class people, he felt a bit apprehensive.
Jian Ran had attended the so-called charity di
er many years ago, but at that time she had gone with her father. Her father had prepared the dress for her and had never considered her idea.
Her father had only one reason to bring her to such a banquet, and that was to let her know more of the upper class. Even if Gu Nanjing made a mistake, the Jane family would have other options.
Therefore, even if she was his daughter, she would reveal as much as she could when choosing a dress. She was afraid that the people from the Wealthy Class could not see her daughter.
It was precisely because of this that such a thing had happened. When such a thing had happened later on, those famous figures in the capital had even posted pictures of the time when Jian Ran had attended the banquet to tell the story.
What did he mean? The second daughter of the Jian family was already that kind of trash. They relied on Lu Lu to seduce men, but now they even wanted to snatch away their future brother-in-law.
At that time, Jian Ran had also resisted, but whenever this happened, her father would curse loudly and even beat down on her mother's weak body. Every time she did so, her body would be covered with wounds.
And her mother, a weak and useless mother, would only silently cry, not dare to struggle, not dare to resist, not even dare to beg for mercy.
Thus, she struggled, resisted, and begged for mercy. She had tried all kinds of ways to stop her father, but her father was fearless while hugging onto Gu's's thigh.
She could not save her mother.
In this situation, her father didn't start to retract until Gu Nanjing and her had confirmed their relationship. At that time, she thought foolishly that Gu Nanjing was her hero …
Jian Ran couldn't help but glance at Qin Yue.
Under the warm light, Qin Yue's eyes shined brightly, making the sea of stars in his eyes look even more dazzling.
Qin Yue, are you going to be my hero?
Riding the rainbow clouds and promising to live the rest of his life?
As if she felt Jian Ran's gaze, a pair of warm and powerful large hands gently embraced her waist, bringing her to his side.
Qin Yue turned his head and looked at her gently. He said softly, "I'm here."
Yes, you are.
Jian Ran couldn't help but straighten her back and raise her head.
