161: Every Woman Here Is Your Love Rival

Every Woman Here Is Your Love Rival

Shi Beiyu lifted his wine glass and took a sip of wine. "Having both of you greet the guests is more than enough. Get Ah Ran to help you if you need more."0

Upon hearing this, Shi Ran smiled at Mother Shi. "I'll go down with you, Auntie."

Mother Shi did not take this well. However, there were a lot of guests around her, and it was not a good place to throw a temper. As such, she could only look at Shi Beiyu as she said, "The banquet is about to start soon. Today is your grandfather's 80th birthday. Don't make him mad at his big day."

Huo Sikai was standing next to Shi Beiyu. When he noticed the tension in the air, he let out a faint cough as he looked at Leng Jiuchen, who was sitting opposite him, and said, "Let's go, Little Jiujiu. Today is Grandpa Shi's 80th birthday. Let's go down and give him a toast, or it's going to be packed later."

Shi Beiyu gave Huo Sikai an evil glare.

Huo Sikai squinted his eyes and chortled. "Come, Little Beibei. Let's go."

Leng Jiuchen stood up and said, "I still have some business to attend to later. I'll be heading back after I wish the Old Master a Happy Birthday." 

Mother Shi replied politely, "We're already very happy that you came, Little Jiu. Work is important, and it should be prioritized."

After saying that, she looked at Shi Beiyu. He was the only one sitting in the room now. "Let's go, Ah Yu. We should all go down together. You have to see Little Jiu off after that too."

Shi Beiyu had no choice but to place down the wine glass and stand up from the sofa.

All the distinguished women were here for Shi Beiyu.

Who was Shi Beiyu?

He was a legendary person in the capital. He was a tycoon in China's business industry and was even wealthier than their rival countries.

These women would do anything to be Shi Beiyu's wife, even if it cost their lives.

Even if they were not the chosen ones, it was their good fortune to be able to meet the mysterious Master Shi. 

That was why the ladies mingled in the crowd the moment they arrived at the banquet. They wanted to see Master Shi — the man who was operating the rudder in the Shi family — for themselves.

Mu Siyin sat in the corner as she searched frantically for Shi Beiyu. Despite that, she prayed not to see him among the wave of women standing on the floor.

Lu Jingchen sat directly opposite her. He was not letting her out of his sight.

As his eyes landed on the hall full of young ladies, he glanced at Mu Siyin, who was obviously beside herself. He whispered, "Do you see it now? Every woman here is your love rival." 

Mu Siyin came back to her senses and looked at Lu Jingchen. She whispered back, "Can you stop prickling my heart with needles, Cuz?"

Lu Jingchen sighed. "How am I prickling your heart with needles? Shi Beiyu is obviously the one doing that. Besides, the needle hasn't even touched you yet. If you continue your relationship with him, I assure you this will transform into a stab in the heart instead."

Mu Siyin's complexion changed the moment she heard that.

She had experienced a stab in her heart before, but the perpetrator was not him.

She believed that he would not be the one to hurt her this time.

Seeing the change in Mu Siyin's face, Lu Jingchen advised her earnestly, "He's really not suitable for you, Yinyin. Look at his social circle and compare it with yours. You both are people from completely different worlds. Don't you get it?"

Mu Siyin glanced into his eyes. "I know. But I believe that nationality, age, and status don't matter as long as two people genuinely love each other."

At that, Lu Jingchen shook his head in defeat. "You still don't get it, do you? Love is not something between two people. It's something between two families."
