Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 1298 – Conflict in the Hall

 The people in the hall quieted down after Xu Shihan’s entrance. Everyone had their eyes and attention at Xu Shihan on the stage.

 Xu Shihan walked to the side of the stage. She went up the stage with the middle-aged man when everyone was clapping.

 Wang Sis and Feng Sanhuang, on the other hand, stood where they were.

 “Thank you for joining our company’s celebration feast for Miss Xu Shihan’s concert!” the middle-aged man gave his speech first being the CEO of the entertainment company. Naturally, he had to speak first, “The concert today was a huge success. Here, I show my greatest gratitude to everyone who has supported Miss Xu Shihan, and here, I wish Miss Xu Shihan all the best and giving her my blessings! Thank you!”

 The middle-aged man’s speech was short and simple yet very formal. Xu Shihan might be under her, but he didn’t dare to treat her lightly. First, ignore the fact that Xu Shihan was a money tree, people supporting her from the back was huge- they could cover the sky with their bare hands, this intimidated the middle-aged man greatly!

 He still remembered, three years ago, he accidentally spilled out some nonsense after drinking, the cold stare Feng Sanhuang gave him, and the terrifying aura he emitted. He hired a golden class master as his bodyguard with an absence of money back then but was defeated by Sanhuang with a punch! The middle-aged man felt like his heart was about to explode at that time!

 Especially when Feng Sanhuang revealed the person who was backing Xu Shihan from the dark, the middle-aged man was so terrified he bowed down instantly, asking for forgiveness and promised that he would treat Xu Shihan as his own daughter and glorified her in the company.

 No one was interested in what the middle-aged man said, they were here to see Xu Shihan, after all, but since he was the CEO of the entertainment company. People still have to spare him some face, so when he ended his speech, warm applause was given!

 After the applause, Xu Shihan started to speak.

 “I’m super happy today, although there was a small accident during the concert, it was solved perfectly without a flaw.” Xu Shihan smiled. “Thank you for those who helped me during the concert, thank you!”

 To the public, it seemed like she was referring to the guests and workers, but in fact, this appreciation was directed at Lin Yi. She believed that Lin Yi was able to understand and receive the message. Lin Yi understood the message behind the speech, but he didn’t react to it. He only smiled lightly, not even raising his head to look at Xu Shihan.

 Seeing Lin Yi in the corner without any reaction, Xu Shihan was a little pissed. Who dared to not look at her when she was giving a speech? Everyone was listening attentively, and only Lin Yi wasn’t looking at her. She didn’t know what Lin Yi was doing, was he sleeping?

 Xu Shihan had an urge to charge at him and send him flying with a kick, but there were so many people here, and being her savior, she could only swallow her displease! If Lin Yi were just a passenger, Xu Shihan would never get angry over it. But since they were already friends, he still ignored her.

 Xu Shihan’s speech was short too. She knew that there were no real fans on occasion like this, so genuine speech wasn’t needed- she only had to show her face and handled them casually. Many people here didn’t have pure thoughts joining this celebration. They only wanted to push her down. Xu Shihan knew this very well herself!

 “Good, everyone can start the celebration already!” the middle-aged man took the microphone and ended the speech.

 The celebration had officially started, Xu Shihan didn’t give a toast to the guests- this was one of her rules, alcohol was out of her list. Naturally, she could skip this procedure.

 However, when the party started, many raised their toast, Xu Shihan couldn’t just walk away with everyone raising their toast, could she? She replaced the alcohol with tea and raised her cup, giving back the guest a toast, entertaining them.

 Xu Shihan didn’t like occasional like this very much, but of course, she didn’t like it, didn’t mean that everyone should hate it too. Some unknown artists were even dying to attend a party like this to raise their reputation.

 “Miss Xu, what a coincidence, we meet again!” Zhao Qibing came over with his wheelchair along with Su Jiaonang.

 Xu Shihan’s face changed slightly when he saw Zhao Qibing- she couldn’t believe her eyes. Even Zhao Qibing would attend her celebration like this! However the name list was prepared by her company, and she had zero ideas what guests were invited

 Zhao Qibing’s appearance cleared the space around Xu Shihan. The young masters who were trying to hit on her previously walked away voluntarily- Zhao Qibing’s name was very popular, after all. All of them who represented their fathers here knew what a man Zhao Qibing was, and the reasons for them to be here were simple, some wanted to sleep with Xu Shihan, but most wanted to make more connections in order to expand their business.

 Of course, Zhao Qibing had shown how eager he was to dominate Xu Shihan so the other young masters, naturally, wouldn’t go against him.

 “Young Master Zhao, nice meeting you,” Xu Shihan nodded and smiled. Although she hated him, she didn’t show it on her face.

 “Miss Xu, would you like to drink with me later? We can take a seat over there and have a little chat?” Zhao Qibing went directly to the point and invited her to drink.

 “Sorry, Young Master Zhao, I don’t drink. Besides, there are many guests today. I’m afraid I can’t fulfill your request talking to you alone, perhaps next time?” Xu Shihan rejected Zhao Qibing’s offer politely.

 “Many guests? Which guest? Why don’t I see guests here? What are you guys doing? Don’t stand here; get the hell away, and mind your own business!” Zhao Qibing eyed the young masters around and threatened them to fuck off from his sight.

 These people came to make friends and build connections. Who would dare to fight Zhao Qibing for a woman? Even if the woman was a hot superstar and all, but it wasn’t worth it to offend Zhao Qibing for that reason.

 Sp, everyone moved away after hearing Zhao Qibing. No doubt, Zhao Qibing held the most power in this hall. If Xu Shihan couldn’t become his plaything, the others shouldn’t think about it, either.

 “Zhao Qibing, I don’t like your style. The way how you hit on a girl is so extreme. You are one of a kind,” the man who was standing beside Wu Chengtian spoke up.

 Zhao Qibing paused at the discrimination as he looked back and stared at the guy with cold eyes. “Oh? Isn’t that the second young master of House Sun? Why, what’s wrong, are you pissed that you couldn’t be the successor of House Sun? So you came all the way here to release your frustration?”

 “So what if I say yes? Second is still stronger than a bastard son like you,” the man hmphed coldly and said lightly.
