Novel Bin Chapter 74: Chapter 74: Two Women Compete!
"I find that comment quite unpleasant," Father Ye glared, with a bit of alcohol fuelling his mood, and he picked up his phone to call Song Yun.
On the other side, Song Yun had just finished dinner and was about to go to bed when he saw a call from his father-in-law.
"Song Yun, are you busy right now? If not, come pick up Qing Qing. We\'ve had quite a bit to drink tonight."
Father Ye\'s words jolted Song Yun awake. Was this his chance to pick up his wife and take her straight home???
For a starving man, this was an irresistible temptation.
Song Yun quickly agreed and, throwing on a jacket, drove to the hotel.
Back at the table, Father Ye hung up the phone and looked proudly at his group of old friends, "My son-in-law will be here soon!"
"Heh, I\'m looking forward to it!"
"Yes, yes, Old Ye always sets his sights high. We too want to see what big shot your son-in-law is!"
"Ha, it seems like recently, young talents are springing up like bamboo shoots after rain. First, your Qing Qing found a good son-in-law, and then Deng Qi snagged a big shot, both very impressive!"
Father Ye\'s conversation was loud enough for everyone around to hear crystal clear; they were all looking forward to seeing the man who had managed to charm the daughter of the richest family in the Magic Capital.
About ten minutes later, Song Yun arrived at the hotel lobby.
He handed his car off to the valet and followed the floor numbers up.
As he pushed open the doors to the reception, everyone\'s gaze turned toward the entrance.
What the hell, why are these people looking at me so intensely? I know I\'m handsome, but this staring is freaking me out!
"Haha, son-in-law, over here!"
Father Ye, belching from the alcohol, waved at Song Yun.
"Dad~ you can\'t let these uncles get him drunk!"
Ye Qingqing stood by Father Ye\'s side, coquettishly speaking.
"Haha, don\'t worry. I\'m just borrowing your man for a bit."
Song Yun approached Father Ye. It seemed like the reception was winding down.
"Song Yun, this is your Uncle Deng, this is Uncle Qian, this is Uncle Du..."
Father Ye introduced each one in turn; these were connections that could be useful in the future. Though their wealth might not match the Ye family in the Magic Capital, they were also at the top of their respective fields.
Song Yun greeted them one by one.
"The young man looks sharp, reminds me of my younger days."
Father Deng looked at Song Yun with a smile, "Next time you come to Forty-nine City, you must get a drink with your Uncle Deng. In Forty-nine City, the Deng Family still holds some sway."
"Thank you, Uncle Deng. This drink is to you."
Song Yun lifted his glass and downed it in one go.
Father Deng was quite taken with the young man in front of him—calm and composed, acting with dignity, free from the awkwardness young people usually show around bigwigs. Good, he\'s someone who\'s been in the big leagues.
"Hello there, we meet again~"
Deng Qi appeared out of nowhere, winking at Song Yun with a smile.
"Hello."
A trace of disgust arose deep in Song Yun\'s eyes—why was this woman present everywhere he went?
"Heh, the Uncle Deng you\'re calling out to is my father~ Our family has a bit of power in Forty-nine City. If you want to come and develop there, we can help you~"
For Song Yun, Deng Qi just couldn\'t let go, no thanks to the fact that she was a sucker for good looks; anyone who caught her eye had to meet her high standards of attractiveness.
"Qi Qi, have you met each other?"
Deng\'s father asked curiously.
"This is the man I\'m chasing~"
Deng Qi whispered into her father\'s ear.
Once she said this, her father was fully sobered up. What the hell, wasn\'t this young man the son-in-law of the Ye family? Was his daughter being kept in the dark?
But then he thought, that couldn\'t be possible. He knew his daughter\'s temperament well; maybe she was just attracted to Song Yun\'s good looks...
He remembered the warning from a big shot behind the red walls and broke out in a cold sweat. This young man was that very big shot! And just a while ago, he had been saying he would look out for him...
It really was...
"Honey~ Drink less~" Ye Qingqing walked over to Song Yun, put her arm around his, and smiled.
In reality, she was staking her claim, signaling to Deng Qi, who had her eye on her husband, \'I\'m going to be affectionate in front of you. Just watch.\'
Although Deng Qi was a spoiled young lady, that didn\'t mean she was foolish. She definitely wouldn\'t make a scene over jealousy with Ye Qingqing at such an event. Seduction had to be done stealthily. If there was a scandal, everyone would know that a daughter of the Deng Family was a mistress!
Ye Qingqing didn\'t provoke Deng Qi as much as she hoped, so she felt a bit let down. But she soon adjusted her mindset.
"Qing Qing little sister, your husband is really handsome~"
Deng Qi raised her glass and clinked it against the one in Song Yun\'s hand, saying, "Handsome guy, do me the honor of drinking together, won\'t you~"
Song Yun felt a pinch of soft flesh at his waist, courtesy of Ye Qingqing, as if her hand was twisting at the exact moment he was about to drink.
With this woman, Song Yun naturally couldn\'t indulge her: "Sorry, I\'m not good with alcohol."
"I\'ll drink with you on behalf of my husband."
Ye Qingqing revealed a smile, took the glass from Song Yun\'s hand, and downed it in one go.
"Qi Qi little sister, I heard you\'ve fallen for a big shot? I\'m curious, who might this impressive person be?"
"Heh, don\'t trouble yourself over it. One day, I\'ll get what I desire!"
The two were at loggerheads, leaving everyone around them utterly confused. What was going on? The atmosphere seemed off.
But Deng\'s father alone knew, his daughter was playing with fire. Not to mention whether meddling with the Ye family\'s marriage would provoke their retaliation, Song Yun alone wasn\'t someone the Deng Family could contend with.
"Oh, my head hurts a bit, Qi Qi, help me back to our room to rest."
Acting drunk, Deng\'s father quickly intervened, and Deng Qi had no choice but to support her father and leave the party.
Once the father and daughter left the room, there wasn\'t a hint of drunkenness on Deng\'s father\'s face.
He looked at Deng Qi seriously and said, "Deng Qi, I hope you realize there are some people in this world we simply cannot afford to offend! You mustn\'t let your personal preferences lead to damage to the Deng Family\'s reputation!"
"Alright already, he\'s just a man..."
Deng Qi replied with a sense of grievance, but deep down, she was still very resistant to the idea.
"Have you thought about it? If Ye Qingqing made this public today, where would that leave our Deng Family\'s dignity?"
"But she didn\'t say anything, so that means she\'s accepted it, doesn\'t it?" MVLeMpYr-only
"Are you trying to anger me to death?"
Deng\'s father sighed deeply. It seemed that Deng Qi was really spoiled by the old patriarch. If this continued, who knew what trouble she could bring to the Deng Family. Therefore, he decided to cut short the trip that was supposed to last five days. He planned to take Deng Qi back to Forty-nine City the next day.
