Chapter 341: Chapter 0341: The Purpose of Concubine Dongfang Shu
Dongfang Shu, however, was a widowed consort, and that Northern playboy who had set his sights on her ended up in her clutches. Now, in front of everyone, Ye Xunhuan was teasing Dongfang Shu like this.
Would Dongfang Shu just let it go?
At least at this moment, in the eyes of others, Dongfang Shu would definitely teach Ye Xunhuan a lesson!
Dongfang Shu’s face was always adorned with a killer smile that showed no hint of anger!
Under everyone’s gaze, Dongfang Shu slowly began to speak, "If you can really make sister fall in love with you, then sister will marry you!" 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙥𝙪𝙗.𝒄𝙤𝙢
Upon hearing Dongfang Shu’s words, everyone was stunned, wondering if they had heard wrong. The black-hearted widow Dongfang Shu, instead of getting angry, even mentioned marrying the other party!
Damn, what’s wrong with this world?
"That won’t do, I’ve already confessed to Ruoxi, I can’t marry you!"
"No matter, I can be your mistress instead!" Dongfang Shu said with a face full of seduction.
Everyone was completely dumbfounded – what the hell was going on?
The black-hearted widow wasn’t angry and even said she could be Ye Xunhuan’s lover if she couldn’t be his wife.
For a moment, everyone was totally bewildered, not understanding what Dongfang Shu was playing at.
But Ye Xunhuan’s next words petrified everyone on the spot.
"Since you are so infatuated with me, I’ll grudgingly accept you!"
As he said this, Ye Xunhuan sighed slightly, as if accepting Dongfang Shu was a great reluctance for him!
Dongfang Shu laughed coquettishly once more, "So I should really thank you for taking me in!"
"If you want to thank me, then I’m not opposed to it!"
Everyone was speechless, while Qiu Ruoxi’s palms were slowly breaking out in cold sweat, all because of Ye Xunhuan!
"Little man, I find you more and more to my taste," Dongfang Shu said, beaming with delight, "You make me more and more interested in you!"
"Most women feel that way when they see me."
Even though Dongfang Shu had weathered many storms and encountered countless shameless men, facing someone as shameless as Ye Xunhuan was truly a first for her.
This guy had taken not having shame to the extreme; the phrase seemed to have been invented just for him!
"Little brother, you’ve got really thick skin!"
"The same can be said for you!"
Initially, everyone thought they would see a good show, thinking Dongfang Shu would teach Ye Xunhuan a lesson in being human, but now they were disappointed.
Not only did Dongfang Shu show no intention of teaching Ye Xunhuan a lesson, but she even began flirting with him, acting like a smitten young girl.
This... Did Dongfang Shu take the wrong medicine, or was she truly interested in Ye Xunhuan?
Nobody knew for sure.
But that wasn’t the point; the point was that Ye Xunhuan had become famous – thoroughly famous.
To the side, Qi Shijie’s heart sank seeing Dongfang Shu and Ye Xunhuan flirting and talking cheerfully.
This scoundrel, truly bold and flirtatious, regardless of the occasion, just doing whatever he liked.
If it weren’t for the fear of Dongfang Shu’s tactics, Qi Shijie would definitely make her very unhappy later.
The banquet came to an end, and Dongfang Shu and Ye Xunhuan were aflame with enthusiasm, their affection for each other obvious. Meanwhile, Qi Shijie was completely left out in the cold!
As the guests gradually left, Qi Shijie couldn’t help but look at Dongfang Shu and ask, "Dongfang Sister, you’re not really smitten with Ye Xunhuan, are you?"
Dongfang Shu’s eyebrows raised slightly, "Can’t I be?"
"No... it’s not that!" Qi Shijie hurriedly shook his head and said, "I’m just very curious how Dongfang Sister could fall for him!"
"Does a woman need a reason to be interested in a man?" Dongfang Shu said indifferently, "Just like how Qiu Ruoxi rejected you. Did she give you a reason?"
Qi Shijie’s face immediately darkened!
"And don’t you think this young man is very interesting, very adept at winning a woman’s heart?" Dongfang Shu continued indifferently, "But, Shi Jie, you could put in some more effort. Otherwise, Qiu Ruoxi might really be snatched away by him!"
With those words, Dongfang Shu didn’t say anything more and turned to leave the place.
After arriving at the parking lot and getting into the car, a burly man with a robust build couldn’t help but ask Dongfang Shu, "Miss, you haven’t really fallen for that kid, have you?"
"What, do you have a problem with it?"
"No... it’s not that!" The man hurriedly shook his head and said, "I just don’t understand. There are plenty of nobles chasing after you, Miss. How did you come to be interested in him?"
"Are you saying you think he’s not worthy of me?"
The man nodded.
"Meng Qi, do you know? This young man is not simple at all!"
Meng Qi, Dongfang Shu’s personal bodyguard and also the top expert by her side, with him around almost nobody could harm Dongfang Shu.
"Not simple?"
"Right!" Dongfang Shu nodded and said, "Not to mention things from far back, just take Xu Mingzhe’s birthday party a few days ago. This young man broke Mu Rulin’s leg, and yet now the Mu family hasn’t made a move!"
"Furthermore, I heard from Old Deer two days ago that Mu Hongwen actually made contact with him and paid him a billion to silence himself!"
"A person whom even Mu Hongwen wants to assassinate covertly, rather than dare to confront openly, do you think his background is simple?"
"Miss, if that’s the case, then we should investigate and find out exactly who he is!"
"It’s no use!" Dongfang Shu said, her tone neither light nor heavy, "After I learned about him, I had people look into him to see where this mysterious young man came from, but they came up empty-handed!"
Meng Qi was stunned. He was well aware of how vast Dongfang Shu’s network of connections was, but now they had found out nothing.
How could he not be shocked?
"Then, Miss, what do you mean?"
"The unknown is always the most dangerous. Although I don’t know his origins, it’s certainly wise to establish a good relationship in advance."
"But Miss, he seems to be at odds with Qi Shijie. Now that you’ve stepped in, given Qi Shijie’s character, he might not wait to kill him immediately!"
Meng Qi knew what kind of man Qi Shijie was. He might appear humble and gentle to everyone, never showing anger, but he was deceitful behind the scenes.
Now, with Ye Xunhuan and Qi Shijie at odds, something obvious to everyone, and Dongfang Shu confusing the issue, certainly Qi Shijie would be uneasy. If Ye Xunhuan really ended up with Dongfang Shu, then even if Qi Shijie wanted to harm Ye Xunhuan, he would have to consider whether he could afford to offend Dongfang Shu.
Therefore, knowing Qi Shijie’s character, Meng Qi believed he would make the first move, to avoid future regret.
"What I want is for Qi Shijie to take action," Dongfang Shu said lightly, "Let him probe Ye Xunhuan’s background for me."
As she spoke, a profound smile appeared on Dongfang Shu’s face, "Young man, are you capable of dealing with Qi Shijie?"
