Qin Qingya was so choked by Zhou Xuan that she couldn't say a word.
Zhou Xuan didn't let her go, deliberately asking loudly, "Has your hidden illness been cured?"
"You..."
Qin Qingya trembled with anger.
He had to bring up that matter at this time, mocking her.
But she couldn't answer this question, because even if her hidden illness was truly cured, she would never tell Zhou Xuan.
Wouldn't this be an indirect admission that she indeed had that disease?
"What about me?" Zhou Xuan asked with a smile, "Do you want to test me again?"
Qin Qingya took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down. She looked at Zhou Xuan and said, "Zhou Xuan, I don't want to be your enemy."
Qin Qingya's voice was very low.
This was the most furious she had ever been in her life.
Zhou Xuan, however, ignored Qin Qingya and smiled, "Miss Qin, what kind of attitude is that? Are you afraid to answer me even when I ask you a question? You should know that it is your Qin family who is my enemy."
"Zhou Xuan, you're too bold!"
Qin Qingya bit her lip, her heart bleeding, but she still insisted.
"Don't you think you're cruel? You curse me while also telling me not to be your enemy." Zhou Xuan sighed with a pained expression.
Zhou Xuan's acting was excellent, as if he were truly being bullied by Qin Qingya.
Qin Qingya was unmoved. She sneered, "Zhou Xuan, stop acting."
"Alright, Zhou Xuan, is this how you bully us Qin family members?"
A clear, cold voice came.
Zhou Xuan turned to look, "Oh, who is this..."
Qin Qingya seemed to have found her backbone and replied proudly, "This is our Qin family head, Qin Huaiyu. You'd better not speak carelessly."
"Oh my, I'm so scared!"
Zhou Xuan said with a flippant grin.
It was as if the person in front of him was just an ordinary person to him.
Qin Qingya hated him to death, but she was helpless.
Qin Huaiyu looked at Zhou Xuan and said, "Young Master Zhou, I think you've misunderstood. Our Qin family has always treated people with courtesy, and we would not do such a thing."
"But I clearly heard her warning me just now."
"You're talking nonsense!" Qin Qingya shouted.
Zhou Xuan still maintained his nonchalant demeanor and smiled faintly, "Since Miss Qin says I'm talking nonsense, then I can only do so."
After saying that, Zhou Xuan turned to leave.
"Wait, Zhou Xuan, clarify things first."
"Hmph, Mr. Zhou, since you're doing big business, you should be sensible. I can pretend I didn't hear what you just said. But if there's a next time..." Qin Huaiyu's tone suddenly became stern, and she stared at Zhou Xuan, saying, "Don't blame me for being impolite!"
Zhou Xuan spread his hands, "Then I can only say that your Qin family brought this upon yourselves. You can't blame me!"
"Besides, we've already offended you. Since you killed Baili Yuntian, there's nothing more for us to say."
"We're all smart people, why be so hypocritical?"
"You!"
Qin Huaiyu was furious. She had never been talked back to like this before.
In Shangjing, everyone knew she had never been challenged like this.
"Hmph!"
Qin Huaiyu flicked her sleeves and left.
As she and her entourage departed, Qin Qingya lost interest and turned to walk back into the house.
Zhou Xuan suddenly reached out and grabbed her arm.
"What are you doing!"
Qin Qingya exclaimed in embarrassment and anger.
"What am I doing?"
Zhou Xuan said with a smile, "Hmm, I'll give you a piece of advice. If the problem you have today isn't resolved, you won't live past midnight tonight."
Zhou Xuan released Qin Qingya.
Qin Qingya stopped, "Zhou Xuan, regardless of whether you're trying to scare me or not, I don't want to see you again right now. If you dare to harass me again, I promise you won't have a good life."
With that, Qin Qingya also turned and left.
Zhou Xuan watched her retreating back, a wicked smile appearing on his lips.
"Heh heh, little girl, you're still too green!"
After Zhou Xuan left, Qin Qingya went to a secluded corner.
She was very nervous.
Zhou Xuan's words echoed in her ears like demonic music. She indeed felt her condition worsening.
However, medical examinations at the hospital revealed no problems.
Zhou Xuan's words had utterly terrified her.
The banquet was still ongoing.
But she felt a chill all over her body and was extremely uncomfortable.
Meanwhile, Zhou Xuan in the crowd was like a fish in water, mingling with everyone in the glamorous setting.
This made Qin Qingya's eyes turn red.
For the first time, she disregarded Qin Huaiyu's warning and secretly called her bodyguard.
She wanted to kill Zhou Xuan, she absolutely had to kill him!
At this moment, Qin Qingya had lost all reason.
"Brother Xuan, it feels like someone is watching us!"
Suddenly, Lu Ling'er whispered in Zhou Xuan's ear.
Zhou Xuan immediately looked up and saw a figure always appearing not far from him.
It was a new face, and he couldn't immediately tell whose subordinate it was.
Zhou Xuan frowned slightly, thinking, "Could someone be planning something today?"
Zhou Xuan was not afraid of retaliation from Qin Qingya or the Qin family.
He just disliked being attacked from the shadows.
If it were any other matter, he could have killed Qin Qingya without hesitation.
But he didn't want to openly fall out with the Qin family at this moment.
Although it seemed they had already clashed.
Zhou Xuan had strong confidence in his own safety.
But in the current situation, he had to be careful and cautious.
Because Ling'er was not just a girl, but also within the Zhuge family.
He didn't want to die in such a place.
He sent a message to the five bodyguards protecting him, asking them to pay attention to their surroundings.
The banquet reached its halfway point.
Zhuge Mingyue danced gracefully through the crowd like a butterfly.
Men and women began to dance the ballroom dance. Men lined up to ask Qin Huaiyu for a dance.
Despite her cold and aloof demeanor, almost like a demoness, her beauty attracted countless men.
"Brother Xuan, stop looking, or your eyes will pop out."
Lu Ling'er said with a hint of jealousy, "You're craning your neck so much. Do you want me to invite her to dance for you too?"
"Ling'er, you're overthinking it. I just want to see what kind of person the one who made the Qin family surpass the Fang family in just three years is like."
"Know yourself and your enemy, and you'll win a hundred battles."
"Hmph, you talk a good game. Who doesn't know that you men are all fickle!"
Seeing his girlfriend's jealousy, Zhou Xuan felt as sweet as if he had eaten honey.
"Ling'er, don't be jealous. Brother Xuan loves you the most. In my eyes, no woman can compare to you!"
"I swear to heaven!"
"If a single word I say is false, may lightning strike me."
"Heh heh, then you wait. I'll make your oath during a thunderstorm."
Lu Ling'er's anger turned into a smile, and she finally stopped teasing him.
Zhou Xuan looked at Qin Huaiyu in the distance.
In his eyes, he truly felt that no one could compare to Ling'er.
But the world's standards were too vulgar, favoring strong women like Qin Huaiyu.
