Chapter 380: Chapter 381: Love the Beauty, Not the Kingdom


    The Young Madam of the Ye family?


    Ha!


    She’s probably lost any chance she had of bing the Young Madam of the Ye family!


    Even if she weren’t Ye Xingli’s cousin, knowing that Leng Peini wants her dead, she wouldn’t continue to tolerate it anymore.


    She could handle Leng Peini treating her badly and oppressing her out of jealousy.


    But she cannot ept that Ye Xingli would marry a woman capable of viciously plotting to take someone else’s life.


    And she’s not going to hide her rtionship with Ye Xinn and Ye Xingli anymore either.


    Be it Shi Qianling or Leng Peini, they all seem high and mighty around her, constantly cautious and defensive.


    She’d like to see their reactions when they found out that she’s a legitimate cousin to Ye Xinn and Ye Xingli, and hence, she couldn’t possibly marry either of them!

    Evening.


    Jiang City Grand Hotel.


    Madam Gao’s charity banquet is held every year in thergest hotel in Jiang City.


    Guests who receive an invitation are deeply honored.


    Ye Xingbei, dressed in a sky-blue long dress, stepped into the banquet hall, instantly attracting countless gazes.


    The Grand Hotel of Jiang City was filled with celebrities that night. As Ye Xingbei walked among these handsome men and beautiful women, she still stood out like a crane among a flock of chickens, dazzling and conspicuous.


    Leng Peini, holding a ss of red wine, was standing next to Shi Qianling, engaged in spirited conversation with the middle-aged man across from her. Upon seeing this man’s gaze fixated at some distant point, his eyes filled with admiration, incredulity, and fascination, she unconsciously followed his gaze.


    Tracing the man’s gaze, she saw Ye Xingbei gracefully sauntering through the crowd, radiant and brilliant, like a bright moon.


    New grievances and past grudges stirred Leng Peini’s jealousy and anger, causing her insides to twist in pain.


    Clenching her teeth hard, she nearly shattered the wine ss in her hand.


    Shi Qianling noted her change in expression, which reminded her of someone meeting a deadly enemy, followed her gaze, a cold glint shed across her eyes, only to quickly resume her usual demeanor, “Ah, so Beibei is here. No wonder there’s such amotion.”


    Leng Peini spewed out disdainfully, “Vixen!”


    She and Shi Qianling were different.


    Shi Qianling was the rich heiress of a prestigious family that matched the Ye family’s status.


    She, on the other hand, came from an ordinary family, and only got to know Ye Xingli because her uncle was wealthy.


    In Y Country, ss consciousness is even more intense than domestically.


    A girl of her background, despite having a wealthy uncle, could never marry into a wealthy family.


    Ye Xingli was an exception.


    Being reckless and unconventional, Ye Xingli didn’t care much about social status.


    And given that he was the second brother in the family who didn’t have to inherit the position of Patriarch of the Ye family, the Ye family wasn’t as concerned about his wife’s family background as they were about Ye Xinn’s.


    So, she got a chance to be Ye Xingli’s girlfriend.


    This opportunity was of utmost importance to her- you could even say it was a matter of life and death.


    Unlike Shi Qianling, who had the strong backing of the Shi family, her only advantage was her dazzling beauty.


    Shi Qianling was also a pretty girl, butpared to her, she was only about 30% as attractive.


    Despite Shi Qianling’s prestigious background, when she saw that Shi Qianling’s face couldn’tpare to hers, she found some kind of equilibrium. Which man didn’t love a beauty?


    From ancient times, there have been plenty of men who valued beauties over the power of reigning territories!


    Every time she found a sense of superiority in her beautypared to Shi Qianling’s.


    But that sense of superiority crumbled the moment sheid eyes on Ye Xingbei..
