The Beautiful CEO's Super Soldier King-Chapter 585 [You’re Half Like Shakespeare]

Ye Chenfeng was also very interested in what kind of scene these little devils were causing.

Following the crowd, they made their way to the villa, with Chu Qingxue leading the way. Ye Chenfeng, casually following behind while smoking a cigarette, was avoided by everyone else, who looked at him with disgust. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

It was no wonder, the cigarettes that Ye Chenfeng smoked were really too strong, not only choking people but also irritating to the eyes.

Especially since it was a bit much to be smoking so brazenly at a banquet like this.

Yet, Ye Chenfeng didn’t care. He wouldn’t have acted differently even at gatherings of Western imperial nobility.

"Hmm?" Suddenly, Ye Chenfeng noticed Chu Qingxue’s expression freeze, and her gaze focused ahead.

"What’s the matter?" Ye Chenfeng whispered.

"Liu Fangfei!" Chu Qingxue whispered back.

"Liu Fangfei?" Ye Chenfeng’s eyes sparkled with a sharp light, his hand holding the cigarette paused midair.

Startled, Ye Chenfeng looked forward and, sure enough, saw Liu Fangfei, still stunningly seductive, like a delicate rose that only revealed its true charm after being pricked.

But Liu Fangfei was not alone; beside her were several people, two of whom Ye Chenfeng had seen before: Bai Tian from the Capital City’s Bai Family and Shi Zichen, who had been at Chu Qingxue’s birthday party.

Bai Tian and Liu Fangfei walked side by side like a couple, surrounded by onlookers, and were the most dazzling presence at the venue.

Seeing this, Ye Chenfeng’s face remained expressionless. He could tell that Liu Fangfei was forcing a smile, and the hidden sorrow in her brows couldn’t be concealed.

Ye Chenfeng and Chu Qingxue, standing together, were also an eye-catching presence, easily attracting attention.

Soon, Liu Fangfei and Bai Tian also looked over in their direction.

Liu Fangfei clearly saw Ye Chenfeng and directed her gaze toward him.

Their eyes met, and the air seemed to freeze for a moment.

Bai Tian also noticed something was amiss and began sizing up Ye Chenfeng, his brows furrowing deeply.

When Shi Zichen saw that it was Ye Chenfeng, his face instantly darkened terribly, and his eyes coldly fixed on Ye Chenfeng. His fists clenched so tight, it was as if he wanted to tear Ye Chenfeng apart.

Liu Fangfei glanced at Ye Chenfeng a few times before quickly withdrawing her gaze, treating him as if he were a stranger.

"Strange, why would Liu Fangfei be here? Wasn’t she supposed to have disappeared?" Chu Qingxue said, puzzled.

Ye Chenfeng said indifferently, "She’s actually the adopted daughter of Jiang Tian!"

"What?"

Chu Qingxue’s face changed dramatically, her eyes filled with disbelief as she looked at Ye Chenfeng, "She’s Jiang Tian’s adopted daughter?"

"That’s right, Jiang Tian’s adopted daughter," Ye Chenfeng affirmed.

Chu Qingxue had a moment of realization, "I see, and who are the people next to Liu Fangfei? They look quite unfamiliar, I’ve never seen them before! Why is Shi Zichen with them?"

"Why not just wait and listen? They’re about to come over here!" Ye Chenfeng said with a smile.

Liu Fangfei and Bai Tian approached, Jiang Tian stepped forward to introduce them, "Let me introduce everyone, this is my daughter Liu Fangfei, and the young man beside her is Bai Tian from the Capital City’s Bai Family. He will soon become my son-in-law, haha. This young man is Shi Zichen of the Capital City’s Shi Family!"

"Hiss!"

Following Jiang Tian’s brief introduction, the sound of people inhaling sharply echoed through the crowd.

How terrifying!

Not only is he the chairman of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, but also in-laws with Mayor Su; now, this daughter who suddenly appeared is even engaged to the Bai Family of the Capital City.

Even Mikako’s face twitched violently; she had never expected Jiang Tian to have such connections.

Before coming to Jiangnan, they naturally investigated Jiang Tian, yet all data showed that Jiang Tian only had one son, Jiang Qi. The sudden emergence of a daughter took them by surprise, and this daughter was even betrothed to a young master of a major family in the Capital City.

For a moment, Mikako’s eyes gleamed brilliantly, evidently pondering something.

"You’re also qualified to come?" Shi Zichen was naturally disdainful towards Ye Chenfeng and said with an icy tone of sarcasm.

Ye Chenfeng chuckled: "Little Shi bros definitely got an invitation, don’t tell me you’re crashing this to freeload a meal?"

Shi Zichen’s face stiffened, and he retorted angrily: "Who’s freeload eating here? How could I not have an invitation?"

"Then show it off, let’s have a look!" Ye Chenfeng said, while also raising his own invitation.

"I... Why should I show it to you!" Shi Zichen replied, somewhat defensively.

Ye Chenfeng laughed, "I just love this kind of act tough when you’ve got nothing attitude you’ve got!"

"Ye Chenfeng, don’t get cocky, I’m telling you, Qingxue will be mine sooner or later!" Shi Zichen said arrogantly.

Ye Chenfeng took a drag of his cigarette and said, "I find you half resemble Shakespeare!"

"What?" Shi Zichen had a big, bewildered expression on his face. When he wanted to ask Ye Chenfeng what he meant, Ye Chenfeng had already turned and left.

"Half resemble Shakespeare? Is he praising me? Shakespeare happens to be half my idol; I’ve spent my life chasing after Shakespeare’s realm!" Shi Zichen mumbled to himself, a smug look emerging on his face.

"Huh? No, wait! Why would Ye Chenfeng say something nice about me?" Shi Zichen suddenly realized something was amiss: "Half resemble Shakespeare? Shabi?"

Suddenly, Shi Zichen’s complexion drastically changed, turning beet red.

"To think he dared to insult me as Shabi, Ye Chenfeng, I won’t let you off!" Shi Zichen, having understood, exploded with anger.

"Hey, Ye junior, you’re here too?" Ye Chenfeng spotted another acquaintance, the flashy Hua Mantian.

"How could they be missing me in a place perfect for freeloading food and drinks?" Ye Chenfeng smiled.

Hua Mantian chuckled, "Ah, Ye junior, there are so many beauties here tonight, including my beloved Liu Yan—I’m her fan!"

"Good lord, check out your sleazy look!" Ye Chenfeng looked at him with disdain.

"Food and lust, life’s great pleasures! Hehe!" Hua Mantian was unabashedly flippant.

Afterward, Ye Chenfeng and Hua Mantian made their flamboyant entrance.

Looking around, a man-made lake shimmered, with all sorts of lights reflecting beautifully upon its surface.

Crossing over small circular bridges led to a huge circular plaza, which was already teeming with people, clinking glasses in exuberant intermingling!

Gentlemen and high-society ladies, decked out in finery, drifted through the association gala, holding their champagne flutes, while attendants dressed in French courtly splendor served drinks and snacks.

The Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce was putting on a show of strength with this founding gala; many guests were present tonight, essentially gathering the cream of the crop from various sectors of Jiangnan, and the scene was extraordinarily lively.

That dude Hua Mantian truly lived up to his reputation as a show-off; whenever he spotted fair skin through the slits of a cheongsam, he practically popped his eyeballs out, his smacking lips audible non-stop!

"Good heavens, Hua Mantian, can you friggin’ stop smacking your lips!" Ye Chenfeng said, beyond exasperated.
