Chapter 1337: Chapter 1332: Arrogant Scions of the Noble Families
"Oh my God! Is the bodyguard behind Qiao Jiaying a madman or what?"
"Wearing beach shorts, is he here to sunbathe?"
"Isn’t he afraid of getting kicked out by Old Master Jin?"
"Hehe, Old Master Jin is highly respected, he wouldn’t do something so low. But as for his ruthless grandsons, I’m afraid they’ll blow that bodyguard to smithereens!"
The guests walking in couldn’t help but comment on this spectacle.
Qiao Jiaying seemed oblivious, walking gracefully, her high heels making a pleasant sound.
When she reached the entrance, the hostesses bent down simultaneously: "Welcome, guests!"
The handsome and stylish waiter came over to help her with the bag.
Qiao Jiaying didn’t bring a bag and politely declined the waiter’s offer, entering the hotel lobby with the bodyguard under varied gazes.
The banquet was set on the top floor of the hotel, offering a view of Beijing’s beautiful nightscape through the glass windows.
Qiao Jiaying rode the elevator to the top, encountering many envious glances from the noble family descendants.
However, none of them approached her.
Because the word had already spread in the circles.
"Qiao Jiaying is the prey that He Junren has set his eyes on. Whoever competes will die!"
Because of this message, many lustful noble family descendants held back their impulses.
If it was a different rival, the noble family descendants wouldn’t be afraid.
But He Junren, the prodigal son?
Many instinctively shook their heads, worried.
The He Family isn’t considered a major clan, but He Junren’s mother came from the Jin Family.
And the Jin Family is a first-tier family in the ancient martial world.
Even though He Junren is not a member of the Jin Family, his connection to the major clans is extraordinary, so very few dare to provoke him.
The ride was smooth, and when the elevator opened, a spacious hall appeared before them.
Colorful flower wreaths surrounded the hall, and above were bright crystal chandeliers, with many prepared balloons hanging on the walls.
The whole 500-square-meter space felt very spacious because there were no tables set up.
However, many people were chatting away inside, accompanied by music.
"Please." The waiter at the elevator made a gesture.
Qiao Jiaying walked out of the elevator somewhat in a daze, subconsciously saying, "Sir, this banquet seems very grand."
Qin Hao looked around. He had never been in the ancient martial circle, but that didn’t mean he was clueless.
Among the young lords present, there were many famous familiar faces.
When counted carefully, the scale was indeed enormous.
"I heard it’s a banquet for the ancestor of the Jin Family, so it’s naturally lively."
Qin Hao spoke calmly.
The Jin Family isn’t considered a top tier noble family, but they produce many talents, and they’re a very formidable presence.
In the past, the Golden Stone Sect he eradicated was said to be an offshoot sect established by the Jin Family.
It turns out that the Jin Family and I have been old rivals.
"Yo, isn’t this the famous star Qiao Jiaying!"
As they were chatting, a voice rang out.
Both of them looked over, and saw a long-haired man holding a wine glass walk over.
This man wore a blue suit, shiny leather shoes, and had slicked-back hair.
He looked quite refined, but the problem was his eyes were too lewd and sinister.
His gaze lingered around Qiao Jiaying’s body the whole time.
Qiao Jiaying was not pleased, but knowing she couldn’t offend people here, she held back her anger and asked, "Who are you?"
"You don’t know me?"
The slicked-back man pointed at his nose, looking very surprised.
Soon, he sneered, "It’s normal for a mortal actress like you not to know me. Listen up, I’m Chu Tianyi from the Chu Family, the one who’s going to sleep with you tonight."
As soon as this was said, the people around began to chatter.
"Haha, the notorious leech Chu Tianyi is on the move! Looks like there’ll be a show tonight!"
"I’ve always wanted to know whether ’madman’ He Junren is crazier or lecher Chu Tianyi is more lewd. Looks like tonight, we’ll get an answer!"
Unlike the spectators who were gleefully waiting for a drama, Qiao Jiaying was first stunned for a moment upon hearing Chu Tianyi’s words, and then her face turned red with anger.
Indeed, in the ancient martial circle, she was not a big deal.
However, that didn’t mean she was lowly enough to be insulted like this by these noble family descendants!
Just as she was about to retort, someone shouted, "Goddamn Chu the lecher! You dare snatch He Junren’s woman? Do you want to die?"
With those words, a tall man approached.
He had an air of gentlemanliness, with a face full of stubble and fierce eyes. Although dressed to the nines, the nouveau riche aura was inescapable.
"Yo! The fool He is here!"
The opponent came with full momentum, but Chu Tianyi was unafraid.
The Chu Family is also a first-tier circle, but the difference is he’s a bona fide Chu family member with bona fide roots, unlike He Junren who’s only shining because of his maternal side.
"You dare insult me? If you’ve got the courage, let it out!"
He Junren clenched his fist, speaking assertively.
"You, a nobody from the He Family, dare to cause trouble here?" Chu Tianyi laughed disdainfully, "If you really dare to lay a hand on me, I’ll give you five million."
Of course, He Junren didn’t dare to act. It’s his grandfather’s birthday banquet; no matter how arrogant he was, he wouldn’t cause a scene.
"Hmph! I’ll spare you for now, but out of the hotel, if I don’t beat you till your teeth are scattered all over the floor, my surname isn’t He." He Junren arrogantly raised his fist.
Chu Tianyi laughed disdainfully, "With just you two? Heh, come on then. But before that, this woman is mine!"
As he finished speaking, he pointed brazenly at Qiao Jiaying in front of him.
"She’s the girl I picked first!" He Junren became enraged again.
"I don’t care! I just want to play with her! Find a toilet and have at it next!"
Chu Tianyi was full of lust, looking lasciviously at Qiao Jiaying, still not forgetting to lick his lips.
"You dare!" He Junren roared in fury.
This shout drew other people’s attention.
Someone joked loudly, "Why make trouble over one woman? Just play together."
"I don’t want to play with this wimp!"
Chu Tianyi showed his disdain.
Someone else shouted, "Then you play first, and let him after."
"Why should he play first!" He Junren was not happy, "I’m willing to make a concession, rock-paper-scissors, winner goes first!"
"That works too!"
Chu Tianyi thought it reasonable, so he nodded.
And so, between banter and competition, they decided on the ownership of Qiao Jiaying.
This superstar that drew in crowds in the mortal world, had completely become a tool for release in the mouths of the noble family descendants.
Qiao Jiaying’s face was pale, her heart filled with humiliation.
Her angry gaze didn’t stop the lecherous flies.
Now, right in front of Qiao Jiaying, the two noble family descendants simultaneously threw punches.
