Chapter 240: Chapter 27: Shocked! Someone Paid the Bill
...
"Shopkeeper, who are the people in this private room?" Lady Bilian suppressed the anger in her heart, and her tone instead became calm.
This was exactly her strength.
Before she had clear information, she was resolute about not offending those she couldn’t afford to offend. Moreover, she was highly adept in socializing, enjoying befriending various young elites.
The shopkeeper immediately summoned the servant in charge of this private room. After understanding the situation, he replied to Lady Bilian, "Madam, this private room was reserved by Wang Shouxin of the Longzuo Wang Family. It’s an established Celestial Human Family. Wang Shouxin is also an outstanding disciple of the younger generation in the Purple Mansion Academy. It’s said he has the potential to compete for the position of a core disciple."
"Wang Shouxin should be hosting esteemed guests, and it’s said that the order is quite expensive."
Celestial Human Family? Core disciple potential? Hosting esteemed guests?
Lady Bilian’s eyes slightly brightened as she glanced at Young Master Chi, "Does Young Master Chi recognize this Wang Shouxin?"
At the mention of Wang Shouxin’s name, Chi Junjie’s expression became solemn, and with a slight hint of hostility, he said, "Wang Shouxin and I both study under Master Xuan Yao. We are of similar age and talent. However, he is said to come from a Celestial Human Family, receiving more resources from his family, making him slightly more powerful than me."
Although his words showed some discontent towards Wang Shouxin, he answered truthfully.
"So, he’s indeed a young elite." Lady Bilian’s eyes slightly shifted, yet her expression soon turned a bit fierce again, clearly recalling some displeasing matters.
After a brief consideration, she felt that the opponent was one she could provoke, and immediately pushed the door open, her sharp gaze swept across everyone in the room.
Inside the room, there were four women and three men.
Her gaze first swept over the four women.
Hmm?
Immediately, Lady Bilian was slightly taken aback.
Among these four ladies, three were dressed as unmarried maidens, while the other was a beautiful young woman. They were all quite youthful.
Each of them was endowed with natural grace and exceptional temperament, as if phoenixes gathering together.
It was no wonder, Lady Bilian had no idea whatsoever.
All four of them actually possessed upper grade bloodline talent.
The stronger the bloodline, the closer it leaned towards a certain type of perfection, naturally reflected in their appearance.
Of course, it does not mean that everyone who looks good has a strong bloodline. In fact, many good-looking people are merely outwardly appealing while inwardly flawed.
Nevertheless, the purer and stronger a bloodline becomes, it tends to enhance one’s appearance and temperament in a positive direction.
But one cannot judge the strength of a person’s bloodline based solely on their appearance.
Seeing these four treasure-like ladies, Lady Bilian’s already displeased mood turned several degrees worse.
Then she looked at the three men.
Two of the young men were meticulously dressed, full of spirit and extraordinary air, akin to dragons among men.
Especially the younger one.
He was handsome and dashing, his demeanor calm and composed, exuding a natural gravitas.
From his bearing and seating position, it was clear that he was someone accustomed to holding high positions.
As for the sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, muscular and robust like a young bull, sitting there with a naive and honest expression. This lad could be ignored; he was definitely not Wang Ziteng.
As Lady Bilian was nonchalantly observing the crowd.
Everyone’s gaze also fell on Lady Bilian and her entourage.
Wang Shouzhe slightly furrowed his brows, speaking neither hastily nor slowly, "Have you all entered the wrong private room?"
As soon as his voice rose.
It immediately pricked Lady Bilian, her eyes fixed fiercely on Wang Shouzhe, sneering, "So it’s you, Wang Ziteng."
Wang Ziteng?
The Wang Family were all looking at each other in confusion, this must be a case of mistaken identity, right?
Even Wang Shouzhe was slightly surprised, Wang Ziteng? Wasn’t that the name he casually made up to hide his identity while shopping in the East Sea Guard?
Immediately.
He scrutinized Lady Bilian, curiously asking, "This...elder sister, do we know each other?" In a brief instant, he managed to swallow back the words aunt or old lady, and chose a word he deemed more suitable.
Elder sister?
Lady Bilian’s anger couldn’t help but flare up again. She was inherently not someone with a good temper, be it at her maternal or marital family, and even in the business world, she was almost always deferred to.
She had never heard anyone call her with the words elder sister before.
Furthermore, this Wang Ziteng didn’t have the slightest impression of her, how could she, who deemed her charm unparalleled, tolerate it?
"Wang, you did such and such in the East Sea Guard to me," Lady Bilian said with a bitter smile, "I thought you would have fled back to Lingbei County, but I never expected to run into you here."
Did such and such?
Then the gaze of the Wang Family all turned towards Wang Shouzhe, their expressions somewhat complex.
Yet Liua Ruolan remained unfazed, naturally aware of her husband’s temperament. While she couldn’t guarantee he would never stray, she was certain this type was not to his liking.
"Oh~" Wang Shouzhe suddenly recalled, "You are the one, in the Hundred Treasures Pavilion, yes, right, Lady Biluo. It’s you, a pleasure to meet you."
"It’s Lady Bilian," Lady Bilian corrected through gritted teeth.
"Right, right, I remember now," Wang Shouzhe nodded solemnly, "It’s Lady Bilian, a pleasure to meet you."
Then he looked at her quizzically, "Is there something you needed with me?"
