Reborn as the spoiled male wife of the mortal enemy

Chapter 337 Doing good deeds and accumulating virtue

Supervisor Zhang’s New Year’s ball was held at Zhang Mansion.

As night falls and the lights come on, the magnificent hall is filled with guests of both sexes dressed in various gorgeous costumes.

Lan Xiaodie held up her wine glass and clinked it with Bai Xun's with a smile: "I was saying that I had a connection with your Bai family! It turns out that you two brothers are just as loyal and righteous as I am."

Seeing Bai Xun's confusion, she smiled and continued, "Which wealthy family in Yangcheng doesn't fight for power and profit, causing everyone to fight to the death, and even turn relatives into enemies? So many people were waiting to see you two brothers turn against each other and fight against each other. In the end, everything went smoothly and peacefully. You are still as friendly and affectionate as ever."

Bai Xun shook the wine glass in his hand and took a sip.

"Young Master Bai called me and asked me to help you. I thought it was something important. But it turns out you want me to be your dance partner at the ball?" Lan Xiaodie hesitated for a moment, then said, "Master Bai, you wouldn't really want to divorce your wife and take a concubine as soon as you become the head of the family, as the outside world has said, would you?"

Bai Xun was slightly startled and said, "No."

Hearing his words, Lan Xiaodie breathed a sigh of relief: "I told you, a person who values ​​friendship and loyalty would never do such a thing. But...why hasn't Master Nan come to Yangcheng yet? I haven't seen him for over a year, and I miss him so much."

Bai Xun glanced at her indifferently.

Lan Xiaodie covered her mouth and smiled, "It's okay to miss someone you know, right?"

As they were talking, Sheng Zexi came over, followed by the elegant and beautiful superstar Li Rou, who was wearing a dark purple cheongsam.

"Oh, with these handsome men and beautiful women on stage, half of the people in the venue are about to be captivated by you two." Lan Xiaodie said with a smile.

"Not as good as Patriarch Bai. Just sitting here has everyone's attention." Sheng Zexi joked.

Lan Xiaodie glanced at Bai Xun and saw that he looked unhappy. She thought to herself, "Are these two masters really going to fight each other as the outside world says?" The new generation of family heads has appeared one after another. I'm afraid that Yangcheng will be in turmoil again.

Suddenly there was a noise from the crowd.

Lan Xiaodie looked towards the door and saw Councillor Wang, Mrs. Wang and their precious daughter Wang Baolan.

She subconsciously glanced at Sheng Zexi. There were rumors that the Sheng and Wang families were interested in a marriage alliance.

But looking at Master Sheng's expression and actions...it seems that he doesn't have such an intention.

Well, today is a Shura field.

As the melodious tune sounded, Director Zhang and his wife stepped gracefully onto the dance floor.

The song ended with thunderous applause.

Supervisor Zhang said with a smile, "Young men, hurry up and get moving! The most beautiful girls in Yangcheng are all here."

Wang Baolan saw Sheng Zexi as soon as she entered the door. She wanted to go and see him directly, but her parents kept dragging her to meet this elder and that elder.

I had just finished greeting the elders and was about to find Sheng Zexi when I saw him stand up and very gentlemanly invite Li Rou to dance.

Li Rou put her hand on his with a smile, and they walked onto the dance floor hand in hand.

In the dance floor, the lights are bright and hazy, and melodious music flows in the air, making the entire space dreamlike.

The pairing of handsome men and beautiful women attracted everyone's attention as soon as they entered the dance floor.

The two danced gracefully on the dance floor to the rhythm of the music, their steps sometimes light and graceful, sometimes passionate and unrestrained.

Wang Baolan's face was gloomy, and anger and disappointment flashed in her eyes.

Mrs. Wang naturally noticed her displeasure and asked those around her, "Whose daughter is the girl dancing with Master Sheng?"

"What a rich girl, she's just an actor."

"Madam Wang, this person is an actress from the Shengda Gongzi Film Company, her name is Li Rou."

Actress Li Rou.

Mrs. Wang remembered that she had seen the news about her and Mr. Sheng in the tabloids before.

I originally thought it was just some gossipy speculation, but I didn't expect that he would bring her to such an important occasion.

Now that the news that the Sheng and Wang families are planning to form a marriage has spread, wouldn’t he embarrass the Wang family by doing this?

Mrs. Wang looked worried and said to Wang Baolan in a low voice, "Our Baolan deserves a better son."

Wang Baolan felt a nameless anger ignite in her heart, and the corners of her mouth turned down slightly: "Is there anyone better than Sheng Zexi in Yangcheng?"

As she spoke, her eyes fell on Bai Xun and she sneered.

There is one, the new head of the Bai family.

He is handsome, well-dressed, and now holds great power. However, he has a male wife at home who seems to be quite favored, and she doesn't want to compete with a man for a man.

Mrs. Wang said, "Deputy Minister Liu's youngest son..."

Wang Baolan frowned and said, "Mother, have you forgotten so quickly how he acted like a madman at the banquet last time when he got drunk?"

Mrs. Wang was so choked that she couldn't say anything.

There are many noblemen in Yangcheng, but there are indeed not many who are handsome, self-disciplined, and capable.

The eldest son of the Sheng family is considered a leader.

"Zexi, long time no see." Mrs. Wang and Wang Baolan blocked the way of Sheng Zexi and Li Rou.

"Mrs. Wang, Miss Wang." Sheng Zexi nodded politely.

Wang Baolan's eyes fell on Li Rou's arm around Sheng Zexi, and she said with a forced smile, "Miss Li Rou dances very well."

"Thank you for the compliment. It's thanks to Zexi that we are well led." Li Rou hugged Sheng Zexi's arm and looked at him with a smile.

Fox Meizi!

How dare you challenge me?

Wang Baolan gritted her teeth and was about to speak when Mrs. Wang interrupted her: "There will be a banquet at home in two days. Zexi, you must come with your father."

Sheng Zexi nodded and said, "Okay."

Wang Baolan wanted to say something, but was pulled away by Mrs. Wang.

"Okay, don't make a scene in public and lose face. Besides, the matter hasn't been settled yet, what qualifications do you have to make a scene? Wait until two days after discussing it with Mr. Sheng, we'll finalize your marriage. You can make as much trouble as you want!" said Mrs. Wang.

Lan Xiaodie, who was watching the show with great interest, couldn't help but laugh and said, "Master Bai, this Miss Wang is not a pushover. Even if you want to stir up trouble, take it easy."

Bai Xun took a sip of wine and said, "How can you call it fanning the flames? It's clearly a good deed."

Suddenly a familiar figure flashed through the crowd.

Bai Xun stood up suddenly and looked in the direction where the figure disappeared.

Lan Xiaodie followed his gaze and saw a woman in a light blue embroidered short jacket, a black pleated skirt, and long flowing hair disappearing into the crowd.

Seeing Bai Xun's nervous expression, Lan Xiaodie couldn't help but laugh, "Which confidante did Patriarch Bai see? Why is he so nervous?"

Bai Xun came to his senses and said, "I got the wrong person. Excuse me for now. I'm going out to have a cigarette."

Only after Bai Xun left did Lan Xiaodie react.

Doesn’t Bai Xun not smoke?

I've never seen him smoke.

That's a lame excuse.
