Chapter 1583: You’re Not As Pretty As Her! (5)
If that signature demonic charm was not the legendary Second Master Qi, who else could it be?
He had not appeared in public for quite some time now. Even at any banquet or public place, they have not been able to catch any traces of him recently. His entire persona had become mysterious, especially after what had happened, it was as if he suddenly disappeared from everyone’s sight. It was extremely difficult for many media outlets to interview him.
He was now the President of Tai Yu Corporation, a mega tycoon in the film and television industry. He had practically monopolized the entire film and television industry in City Z, and his influence intimidated the entire southeast region. Moreover, he was involved in the construction industry and his achievements were very impressive. President Mu of Glory World Group and President Xi of Fuhua Real Estate were both his good friends, it could be seen that he was quite high in status.
Even Dongfang Ren had to be courteous to him, especially those plans he had in mind, he had to fight for them.
Dongfang Rou’er was naturally very clear about this matter. When she saw Qi Lei walk over, she quickly followed him.
“Such a handsome and dashing man, only our President Qi has such charisma. Haha, it’s rare to see you here! Thank you so much! Thank you so much!”
Dongfang Ren strode forward with enthusiasm and pride until he reached Qi Lei.
Yang Sheng and the bodyguards quickly went up to protect Qi Lei.
Qi Lei stopped in his tracks and smiled politely. He reached out to take the wine that Dongfang Ren handed to him with a smile, clinked glasses with him, and said, “Thank you for your kind invitation. It’s my honor to be acquainted with a old senior like President Ren.”
“Haha, you’re too kind! You’re too kind! Come, come, cheers!”
Dongfang Ren was instantly overjoyed. He happily drank the wine in his glass in one gulp, then personally brought Qi Lei to the seat in front of him and sat down.
At this moment, Dongfang Rou’er and Jin Sheng walked over. They were very tactful with their words, but Dongfang Rou’er keenly noticed that Qi Lei’s attention did not seem to be on them, but…
Dongfang Rou’er followed Qi Lei’s line of sight. Soon, a faint military-green color came into view!
From her angle, she could see that Dongfang Liuyun was chatting enthusiastically with a man. That man seemed to be quite a famous figure in the circle, but she heard that he was also a very noble person. He was someone who had never interacted with them, but she did not know why Dongfang Liuyun was…
Dongfang Rou’er glanced at Qi Lei again and realized that he seemed to be watching Dongfang Liuyun from the corner of his eyes. In a trance, she seemed to have recalled something, and her eyes could not help but darken.
“President Qi, you know my Fourth Sister too?” Dongfang Rou’er asked softly with a gentle and generous smile on her beautiful face.
Qi Lei did not even look at her. Having been in the world relationships for so many years, he had long seen through the faces of these kinds of women, he knew how they were. Dongfang Rou’er was clearly hostile towards his Missus Qi, he automatically classified Dongfang Rou’er as an enemy.
“Fourth Sister gets along with just anyone, if only I had half of her social skills, I’d be content. They all value Fourth Sister very much, I believe you’ve heard of the legend my Fourth Sister, right?”
Seeing that Qi Lei did not respond, Dongfang Rou’er could only smile awkwardly and continue.
However, that tone sounded harsh to Qi Lei. He felt that there was a hint of innuendo in her words, which made him unhappy, and he did not care if he was being petty. He turned his head, and gave Dongfang Rou’er a sideways glance. His gaze was sharp as he suddenly said in a low voice, “That’s normal. You’re not as pretty as her! Men care about looks, how is your face worthy? Didn’t you know that?”
These words hit the nail on the head and pierced right into Dongfang Rou’er’s heart. Dongfang Rou’er almost could not snap back. After she regained her senses, she was extremely embarrassed. The smile on her face could not be maintained. Her face instantly turned stiff and pale as she looked at Qi Lei in a daze, she muttered, “I… I thought that an outstanding man like President Qi would value a woman’s inner qualities, so…”
It was fine if she did not say that, but the more she spoke, the more Qi Lei got unhappy!
What did she mean by valuing a woman’s inner qualities?
Did she mean that his madam Qi was not beautiful on the inside?
“If a woman has a face that is so disgusting, do you think you would be interested in getting to know her inner qualities? Inner qualities are not something that can be displayed through pretense, it’s inherent in your temperament. You really need to learn more from your sister. A real lady from a prestigious family should be like her. I admire her very much.”
Qi Lei did not try to hide it at all.
When he said this, Dongfang Rou’er’s expression became even worse. She was secretly unconvinced!
There was a nasty person screaming in her heart—
You were all deceived by her illusion! If those things were to be exposed, she, Dongfang Liuyun, would be an unbearable woman!
Qi Lei’s protective outburst hit the nail on the head. Jin Sheng, who was on the side, also heard it. Naturally, he was a little dissatisfied. He carefully sized up Qi Lei, trying to catch something from his deep gaze. However, all he could see was only his calm gaze…
Actually, Qi lei might not have wanted to come to such an occasion. However, when he thought about Dongfang Liuyun coming over, he was a little worried. After some thought, he decided to come as well. Now, he could indeed sense the undercurrents here, especially the conversation between Dongfang Ren and Dongfang Yi earlier. Oh, right, why had he not seen Dongfang Gan, his father-in-law?
However, at this moment, Qi Lei was not the only one who realized this problem. Dongfang Liuyun was also searching for his father. She looked around and naturally saw Qi Lei.
The husband and wife looked at each other. There seemed to be a moment of stillness in the air. Later, Dongfang Liuyun raised the wine glass in his hand slightly to Qi Lei and toasted him from afar.
Qi Lei’s handsome face quickly softened. Just as he raised the glass, he suddenly realized what was in her glass and immediately frowned.
Dongfang Liuyun, who was across him, had already raised her head and downed the glass in a few mouthfuls…
Qi Lei watched and his frown deepened. Just as he was about to get up and walk over, he suddenly saw a tall man walking in front of Dongfang Liuyun as if he wanted to say something to Dongfang Liuyun. His expression looked very grave…
Qi Lei’s entire body tensed up as well. His gaze was locked tightly onto Dongfang Liuyun’s small face…
