The Young Matriarch

Chapter 113: Chapter 113 I Came for Him Today

Only those who can enter here are not just the cream of Haicheng but also of China from all over. If she could find a boyfriend at this banquet, that would be amazing!

Bai Yinyin immediately walked in, came to the dining table, and with a smile, the waiter asked her order, to which she requested a glass of red wine.

Bai Yinyin’s gaze swept across the hall, beginning her search for a target.

Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she spotted the array of fried foods on the table and asked the waiter in surprise, “Why… why are there so many fried foods?”

Like at most banquets, there are usually delicate Western pastries or, at the very least, Chinese cuisine available. How come there’s such an abundance of fried foods?

After saying this, Bai Yinyin felt a bit regretful. Did that make her seem like a country bumpkin?

The waiter looked somewhat puzzled as well and answered, “This is specially ordered by our Fourth Master.”

Bai Yinyin took mental note, so the Duan Family’s Fourth Master liked fried foods—quite unexpected.

As time ticked by, more and more people arrived at the Duan Family’s banquet. Bai Yinyin looked around and a smile slowly emerged on her lips.

Bai Chuwei acts so pretentiously at school, so why isn’t she here?

The difference is the difference!

The very Bai Chuwei that Bai Yinyin kept mentioning was sitting in a dark corner, casually resting her chin on one hand, looking disdainfully at Xue Qiu gnawing furiously on a chicken drumstick, the crunching sounds exceptionally loud.

Xue Qiu, “Won’t the old ancestor have a taste?”

Bai Chuwei, “I’m not interested.”

The old ancestor, who had lived for over five thousand years, had a lighter palate and did not care for these fried foods.

Xue Qiu’s white mustache was smeared with golden crumbs as it looked at Bai Chuwei strangely and said, “The old ancestor attends the banquet but casts a spell to make everyone ignore you. What’s the point? Could it be… Could it be for me?”

Xue Qiu was touched in an instant. Was it so that it could attend the banquet and enjoy the food?

Bai Chuwei with disdain, “How could that be possible?”

The old ancestor naturally disliked bustling scenes.

She sat in the corner, looking up to see a young man in a red suit walking back and forth in the hall, muttering, “Why hasn’t Weiwei arrived yet?”

After watching Duan Xingye walk past her three times, Bai Chuwei couldn’t help but hook her finger slightly.

Duan Xingye turned around abruptly and saw Bai Chuwei sitting in the corner with a shallow smile. He strode over, smacked his forehead and said, “Weiwei, I’ve been looking for you for ages.”

Indeed, worthy of being the old ancestor, making him unable to find her. If his Fourth Uncle were here, he probably wouldn’t see Bai Chuwei either.

Duan Xingye immediately wanted to take Bai Chuwei to meet Old Master Duan. Bai Chuwei lazily sipped her red wine, her tone indifferent, “No, my purpose here isn’t to attend the banquet.”

Duan Xingye paused for a moment, then suddenly blurted out, “For my Fourth Uncle?”

Bai Chuwei, “…”

While they were discussing Duan Feihan, the breathtakingly handsome man just a few steps away suddenly turned around. The breeze lifted the tail of his hand-tailored black suit, and his gaze collided with Bai Chuwei’s.

Bai Chuwei was startled and began to doubt.

She had cast an invisibility spell, so ordinary people shouldn’t be able to see her, and Duan Feihan shouldn’t be able to see her either!

This must be a coincidence, right? Just a chance meeting of their gazes?

Soon, Duan Feihan shifted his gaze away, and Bai Chuwei didn’t dwell on it, saying meaningfully to Duan Xingye beside her, “Look, I came here today for him.”

Duan Xingye followed Bai Chuwei’s gaze and murmured, “Xu Xingchen?”

Duan Feihan’s sharp gaze shifted to a slightly nervous young man approaching the entrance, and his eyes darkened even more.

For him?
