Chapter 1233: Being Laughed At

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation  Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

De Cruz had already seen Shen Xiaoxiao and the other two. The three women who were dressed up tonight and the three who had fought so hard that night had a different kind of feeling.

If the three of them had brought him surprise and interest that night, then the three women tonight had brought him a certain amount of desire.

The hand holding the wine glass tightened slightly. If it wasn’t for the fact that he had already released with Black Peony in the lounge… At this moment, he couldn’t wait to pull one of the women into his arms.

However, De Cruz knew that this could only be a thought, because after that night, he had thoroughly offended the three women.

The only thing that made him curious was that none of these three women had attacked him or his business.

This made him feel even more uneasy. If these three women had not come to the banquet tonight, perhaps he would have been mentally prepared for the final calm before the storm. However, these three women had unexpectedly come to his banquet as if nothing had happened.

This made De Cruz a little confused.

Whether it was Shen Xiaoxiao, Huang Yueyan, or Lou Yin, they had no intention of going forward to greet De Cruz. After all, they were not the main characters tonight. Competing with a person who was about to die, they were not so idle.

Neither side was prepared to take the initiative to go out and greet him. Meanwhile, Black Peony had already walked to De Cruz’s side. De Cruz diverted his attention, looked at Black Peony, and asked,

“Where’s your daughter? Didn’t you say that you would bring her to see me?”

“De Cruz, I don’t think there’s a need for this. She said that she doesn’t want to change the current state of her life. You know, she and I aren’t close, so there’s nothing I can do about it.”

De Cruz looked at Black Peony but smiled without saying anything. It wasn’t that he didn’t know what Black Peony was planning before. He had originally thought that at the worst, the mother and daughter would be together under his suit pants. This was exciting enough to play with… However, he did not expect that Black Peony’s daughter would not fall for this trick.

If she did not fall for it, then she would not fall for it. He had seen her photo before. It was a very ordinary girl with a Matt style. His son would probably prefer this type of girl. In any case, he felt that it was dispensable.

As for Black Peony wanting her to be his heir, it was not that he did not know. Previously, he had thought that if she served him well, it was not impossible. But now, since she did not want it, he would save it.

“Oh, that’s such a pity. I thought that I would have an obedient daughter.”

Black Peony smiled and said, “It’s because she’s not blessed. De Cruz, you’re so good. So many people want to be your daughter. I also want to be your precious daughter.”

De Cruz was coaxed by Black Peony’s words and laughed out loud. But in the end, he still said,”You were my darling to begin with, weren’t you?” Black Peony became even more pleased with De Cruz’s words. However, De Cruz continued:

“However, Darling, I saw that you and Madam Yan were chatting very happily just now. Did they discover anything?”

“No, don’t worry about that. This is the capital. They don’t have the guts to cause trouble here. Furthermore, it’s just a few daughters. De Cruz, don’t worry. I can take care of them properly.”

“Baby, you’re not qualified yet. That’s the world’s richest Huang Corporation, as well as the KN Group. The other one is Black Tornado. Do you think I don’t know? Although we attacked them previously, it’s a good thing that they were unharmed. There are no eternal enemies in this business world. Therefore, I have a plan. We’ll cooperate with KN. Our new project will let KN get involved. When the benefits are distributed, no matter how big the conflict is, it won’t be a conflict, right?”

“Moreover, that Madam Yan is really beautiful. She’s really exciting.”

How could Black Peony not know what De Cruz meant? He did not want to offend her, and he also wanted Shen Xiaoxiao to be his woman. What was he dreaming about?

He really did not understand Yan Kuan. Previously, she had sent people to stir up trouble at the hot spring villa, and that couple did not fall for it at all. He even wanted to get Shen Xiaoxiao? He probably wanted Yan Kuan to execute him.

But wait, Yan Kuan?

The more Black Peony thought about it, the more excited she became. She wanted to use someone else to kill Yan Kuan. It would be even easier for her to get rid of this De Cruz.

Shen Xiaoxiao did not know that someone had already set their sights on her. She thought that she was here to watch a good show tonight. She did not expect that the show would end up on her.

Because the people invited by De Cruz were all important figures in the business world, it was different from a political party. Therefore, this party could be said to be extremely luxurious.

“It’s just a piece of chocolate. Do you need to put gold foil on it? If you have money, there’s no place to burn it, right?”

Huang Yueyan looked at the dessert in front of her and did not want to complain anymore. Looking at the expenses tonight, gold foil and other things were not rare anymore. Even the bird’s nest had come with blood swallows. Was he crazy? Was he trying to fight against someone as powerful as her? Was it really necessary?

“Maybe he is rich? If there is food, you can eat it. However, I suspect that this blood swallow has been added with red pigment. Why does it taste so different from what I usually eat?”

Lou Yin had already started eating when Huang Yueyan was muttering. However, just as she said that the taste was not quite right, a woman beside her who did not know her chuckled and said,”Madam, Xue Yan and Bai Yan are different in the end. Naturally, they won’t have the usual sweet and greasy taste like Bai Yan. These good things are hard to come by, so you’d better eat more. Perhaps you’ll be able to taste something different?”

Once these words were said, Shen Xiaoxiao and Huang Yueyan turned their heads to look at this woman who was obviously mocking Lou Yin for not eating good things. This woman was very unfamiliar, so they definitely hadn’t seen her before. At least, they definitely had not seen her in the upper-class society of the capital. However, other than the wealthy families in the capital, the people attending the banquet tonight were all top-notch people from all over the country and provinces.

Moreover, this De Cruz and the others’ reception was also strange. They had separated the men and women. Previously, they had been a little puzzled, but now that they saw the high-class desserts and bird’s nests used by the women, the men actually directly went up to them. The beautiful women had sashimi, and they were all of the highest quality. Their bodies were naked, and their bodies were filled with the highest quality sashimi. They were as s*xy as they could get.

The woman looked to be in her twenties. She wore a set of shiny diamond jewelry and a black short skirt. Her large wavy curls and exquisite makeup made her look like an extremely wealthy woman.

Huang Yueyan, on the other hand, had some impression of her. She seemed to be from Xiangjiang.

It was just that this woman was so sarcastic toward Lou Yin. Even without them making a move, Lou Yin would probably be able to kill this woman in an instant.

“Mm, that’s true. If you like to eat all these, then just eat all of them. Anyway, looking at you, it looks like you haven’t eaten in eight lifetimes. Here, all of them are for you.”

Lou Yin had a fiery temper. Although she had very complete dining etiquette, when she was obviously humiliated by others, her most direct reaction was to pour the entire bowl of bird’s nest in her hand… All of it into that woman’s bowl…
