Chapter 303: Hot Mountain Spring Villa 3

“I didn’t take it seriously.” Qi Qingyao pointed at the several seated young men who were all very good-looking. Although they were not comparable to Jiang Yeqian and Lu Yan, they were not losing by much. Some of those young men were even hugging girls. All the girls looked like goddesses who descended from the heavens, but Qi Qingyao still thought that she herself looked best. “I’m just asking you why there are so many handsome men and beautiful women.”

This scene reminded her of her previous life where she had gone undercover as another celebrity’s bodyguard and attended a Harriet’s Bazaar charity dinner together in order to investigate a celebrity’s death case. The star-studded scenes… the wine toasting under the reflection of lights. Everyone at the banquet was either a handsome man or a beautiful woman. After all, those who could enter the entertainment industry were those who had the best appearance!

It was a bit similar to the current scene.

Lu Yan said, “The Ye family from Eastern Ling came to visit the koi temple with a few friends this time. They swung by to invite some friends in Qingzhou City for a meal. I happened to be here and hence, was invited as well.”

Qi Qingyao added unhurriedly, “I’m asking you, why is everyone so handsome! I’m not asking you who they are. Why is no one ugly? Everyone is beautiful!”

Lu Yan blinked a few times. He seemed to find her question absurd. No normal person would ask such a question, but she had never been a normal person, so she could not be treated with common sense. He thought for a moment before answering seriously, “It’s probably because the rich people in the upper-class circles marry daughters of government officials or concubines with no background but outstanding appearance. They keep marrying the good-looking ones so that their children will likely not be ugly in a few generations… although there are still a few ugly ones. But the ugly ones are generally disliked by their parents. Parents like good-looking and smart children. If they’re not good-looking enough, then they have to be extremely smart to be paid attention to.”

‘F*ck, do they have to be so realistic?’ After bottling up everything for a long while, Qi Qingyao spoke up her thoughts, “Human nature is superficial!”

…

Jiang Siliu and her elder brother Jiang Siting had also come to the hot spring retreat for the banquet. As soon as they stepped into Furong waterside pavilion, Jiang Siliu and her brother, Jiang Siting first greeted a few acquaintances. After walking to the back, Jiang Siliu spotted Qi Qingyao sitting side by side with Lu Yan at a glance, which seriously pissed her off.

She held Jiang Siting’s arm and quickly pointed to that side. “Why is she here too?”

Jiang Siting froze for a moment.

That woman!

She was the Qi Qingyao who was by Heir Pei’s side.

Oh my God, it turned out to be true!

Her relationship with Lu Yan was… still alright?

As an ordinary man, Jiang Siting was completely dumbfounded at this moment. The other day, there was a rumor spreading around that Qi Qingyao and Lu Yan were having a meal together at Chunjiang Restaurant. Since Jiang Siting had not witnessed the scene with his own eyes, he could not believe it no matter what. It just felt too far-fetched.

Qi Qingyao had been able to render Lu Yan worthless and had completely slandered him at the Jiang family’s banquet.

An ordinary man would not mingle with a person of such a level.

Who would have imagined?

What on earth was Lu Yan thinking? Jiang Siting was really speechless.

Jiang Siliu ran over, not noticing her brother’s silence. She pointed at Qi Qingyao’s nose and asked, “What are you doing here, you lump of country soil?”

Putting on an unbothered pretense, Qi Qingyao asked Lu Yan, “Who is she?”

Lu Yan smiled slightly and said, “The Jiang family’s young lady, Jiang Siliu.”

Qi Qingyao said in a trivialized manner, “She looks very ugly, I don’t know her.”

Jiang Siliu started, “You…”

Even the impassioned redness of her face could not describe her emotions at this moment. She felt like a balloon about to burst, having a hard time holding in. As she was about to lash out, Jiang Siting walked over and grabbed his sister who was about to lose control. “Siliu, don’t flip out. Everyone who attended today is an honored guest from Eastern Ling Nation. Do you want to disgrace the Jiang family?”

“…” Jiang Siliu’s eyes were red in anger, but she forced her fury down.
