Chapter 1182: Chapter 1181: Emotionally Challenged

"So beautiful!" Ruan Ling admired as Wei Xueqing changed into a dark blue evening gown adorned with some diamonds, resembling a starry sky and looking very beautiful.

Yang Chen also changed into a retro formal suit, and with his upright posture, he looked very handsome.

Ruan Ling couldn’t help but gaze in a trance.

In a daze, the image of the child who once walked unsteadily overlapped with the figure of the upright man standing now.

It seemed as if just in the blink of an eye, her child had grown up, reaching the age of having a girlfriend, marrying, and having children.

She wondered how many of those moments she had missed.

However, the only consolation for Ruan Ling was that Yang Chen was not yet married.

Seeing Yang Chen in formal attire, her heart really tightened for a moment. If she missed her child’s wedding, she would truly regret it for the rest of her life.

"Xueqing, you really look so beautiful today!" Ruan Ling stepped forward and held Wei Xueqing’s hand.

Fu Zhou chimed in from the side, "Looking quite a match with Xiaochen."

Hearing this, Wei Xueqing couldn’t help but blush, lowering her head, not daring to look at the two.

Yang Chen said helplessly, "I’m just accompanying her to attend a banquet, don’t make random guesses."

"Exactly!" Ruan Ling also glared at Fu Zhou, saying, "Don’t speak carelessly if you don’t understand!"

"Yes! Yes!" Fu Zhou smiled awkwardly and stood aside, not speaking further.

Ruan Ling held Wei Xueqing’s small hand and said, "You’re really too beautiful today. A girl like you is surely pursued by many. Unfortunately, our silly boy is foolish and can’t speak, and if he doesn’t know how to cherish, he might miss out on a fine girl."

Wei Xueqing naturally understood what Ruan Ling referred to, and she bowed her head, twisting her fingers, looking a bit uneasy.

She had fantasized about the possibilities, countless times she had imagined eventually she and Yang Chen would end up together. Now, even Yang Chen’s parents said so, making Wei Xueqing’s heart flutter...

However, reason told her it was impossible.

Yang Chen’s heart only had Ye Xin.

Even if missed, it’s her who missed Yang Chen, not Yang Chen missing her.

Ruan Ling further instructed Yang Chen, "Xiaochen, while outside, you must take good care of Xueqing, don’t let her drink alcohol. Being a man, you need to take care of the woman, understand?"

"Don’t worry, I will." Yang Chen nodded slightly.

The two got into the car and left, Ruan Ling and Fu Zhou were still observing.

After a long while, Ruan Ling couldn’t help but sigh.

Fu Zhou asked puzzled, "What’s wrong?"

Ruan Ling glanced at Fu Zhou, speaking annoyedly, "How could your emotional intelligence be so low? Didn’t you see?"

"See what?" Fu Zhou still looked perplexed, not understanding what Ruan Ling was talking about.

Ruan Ling sighed, "Wei Xueqing is a great girl, an overseas returnee, once worked on Will Street, after returning she took over her father’s business, turning the Shangdong Group from debt into profit, into today’s large group company. Her capability is very strong. Now she specifically manages the company for Yang Chen, she is very outstanding. I can even say, among people I’ve known, there is absolutely no girl more excellent than Wei Xueqing, not even heard of! Besides, she’s beautiful, a truly fine beauty. You saw it too, in that evening gown, with her figure, with her looks, she’s absolutely the combination of both intelligence and beauty. Even if we were to search with a lantern, we couldn’t find such a good girl for our son, but alas, our son doesn’t have the slightest feeling for her."

"No way?" Fu Zhou was somewhat skeptical, "They both went out for an appointment, dressed like this, how could there be no feelings?"

Ruan Ling glared at Fu Zhou, "I say your emotional intelligence is low, and it really is low. If someone likes a woman, and she’s dressed so beautifully, wouldn’t he look at her more often, praise her a few times? Didn’t you see that Xiaochen’s gaze wasn’t on Wei Xueqing at all? His attention wasn’t on her, he even looked at his shoes! To see whether someone has feelings for another, just look at their eyes. I could see, Wei Xueqing really admires our son, but our son has no feelings for her."

Fu Zhou frowned and said, "That’s not right! If such a beautiful person isn’t liked by our son, lest it be..."

Fu Zhou even began to question Yang Chen’s sexual orientation.

Hearing this, Ruan Ling couldn’t help but grit her teeth, pinching Fu Zhou hard, "What nonsense are you babbling! Didn’t our son say, the girl of the Ye family is in Ancheng! Back then they had a betrothed engagement, maybe our son is waiting for her!"

Hearing about the Ye family, Fu Zhou couldn’t help but frown.

Back then, they had a very good relationship with the Ye family, but when trouble occurred, the Ye family chose to stand by. As for the Ye family, Fu Zhou had no good impression.

...

Cloud Mist Mountain.

Various big shots converged from all sides.

There were those from the business sector, the political sector, and most among them were personnel from various major families.

Being able to attend such a level of banquet was many people’s dream, so those who managed to squeeze in weren’t stingy, coming with gifts to congratulate the Second Young Master Yun on surpassing the Martial Arts Realm, reaching the Grandmaster Realm, becoming the youngest Martial Arts Grandmaster in history!

Yang Chen’s car stopped at the parking spot.

They didn’t hurry to get out.

Through the invisible earphone, Yang Chen obtained some information.

Yang Chen also said to Wei Xueqing, "The Xiang family people have arrived, those who came are Xiang Jixian, Xiang Jifeng, Xiang Jiyong, and Xiang Xingyu. Among them, Xiang Jiyong is the elder of the Xiang family, one of the power holders, the Clan Leader needs to manage other affairs in the family so couldn’t come. If there’s trouble, the first person you need to find is Xiang Jiyong, understood?"

"Understood!" Wei Xueqing nodded slightly, noting the information Yang Chen provided to her.

She knew tonight was destined to be not peaceful, likely to encounter danger, so taking note of these in advance, to prepare for unexpected troubles.

"Only the Zhang family sent someone, only Zhang Yiran. You know the Zhang family rarely interacts with outside people, Zhang Yiran is the heir of the Zhang family, his authority is sufficient. But... if a fight really occurs, don’t turn to Zhang Yiran, immediately leave with him, understand?" Yang Chen looked at Wei Xueqing.

Wei Xueqing nodded slightly.

"As for the rest, just treat it as a normal banquet, normally interact with others, leave the rest to me." Yang Chen said.

Wei Xueqing expressed her understanding.

After speaking, Yang Chen opened the car door, buttoned up a button of his suit, walked to the other side, very gentlemanly opened the door for Wei Xueqing.

When Wei Xueqing got out of the car, she was like a dazzling pearl, instantly attracting many gazes.

Yang Chen straightened his body, and Wei Xueqing reached out to hold Yang Chen’s arm, striding with perfect steps into the courtyard.

In the eyes of outsiders, the two were flawless in every detail, elegant and noble, everyone making way for the pair.
