"Xie Xun, be my man. I will treat you well."
In the brightly lit banquet hall, Qin Zheng stood in front of a young man, holding a diamond ring the size of a pebble in her hand. She was dressed in a gorgeous and eye-catching red gown, her slightly curly long hair draped behind her back like ink. Her delicate and fair little face had a bright smile, like a fairy who had accidentally entered the mortal world. Her every frown and smile contained a charming charm.
The lively banquet hall became completely silent because of her words.
Qin Zheng, the eldest daughter of the Qin family, one of the four great families. She was one of the top beauties in A City. Today was her twenty-second birthday. The people attending the birthday party were all people of either wealth or nobility.
But who would have thought that Qin Zheng would publicly propose to a man in front of so many important people at her birthday party?
"What's going on? Didn't they say that Qin Zheng just broke off her engagement with Lu Yixuan? Why did she turn around and propose to another man?"
"I heard that Qin Zheng fell in love with a bartender in a bar a while ago. Could it be him?"
The crowd whispered among themselves, and everyone's eyes fell on the young man in front of Qin Zheng.
The man had a perfect face that could not be picked out. His eyebrows were deep, and his nose bridge was high. His exquisite facial features were like the favored child of god, beautiful and magnificent. However, the aura around the man was too cold and indifferent.
The people present had seen many handsome men and beautiful women, but when they saw the man, they could not help but exclaim, "He is indeed good-looking. No wonder he can charm Qin Zheng so much."
"What's the use of being good-looking? He's just a bartender who can't stand the spotlight."
The disdain in everyone's tone made Qin Zheng frown unhappily, but when she realized that Xie Xun was looking at her, she quickly raised a gentle smile.
This was the first time Xie Xun had looked her in the eye today. Even though she had practiced this many times, Qin Zheng still couldn't help but feel nervous when she met the man's eyes. After all, this was the first time in her life that she had proposed to someone.
Just as Qin Zheng was about to continue speaking... A woman's aggrieved and pitiful voice suddenly came from the door. "Brother Xuan, it's him... Last time, he was the one who plotted against me and almost molested me... Sob sob sob..."
Qin Zheng subconsciously turned her head. A young man and woman walked over together. When they saw Qin Zheng, their faces instantly turned cold.
Lu Yixuan, her ex-fiancé; Su Mei'er, her ex-fiancé's cheating partner.
Three months ago, Qin Zheng found out that Lu Yixuan was involved with his first love, Su Mei'er. After they got together, she decisively broke off the engagement.
Hearing Su Mei'er's miserable cry, Lu Yixuan's cold gaze fell on Xie Xun. Seeing this, Qin Zheng subconsciously stood in front of Xie Xun and asked coldly, "What are you guys doing here?"
Lu Yixuan ignored Qin Zheng and looked past her to Xie Xun. The man's figure was slender and his eyes were like illusions. Under the reflection of the crystal lamp, his face was so handsome that it did not look like he was from the mortal world. It made everyone look like a backdrop. He just stood there quietly. His temperament was cold and noble, and he did not look like an ordinary bartender at all. Unfortunately, he was just a lowly bartender.
Lu Yixuan smiled contemptuously. "I thought you were very capable, but it turns out you're just a coward who only knows how to hide behind women."
Qin Zheng frowned and was about to speak when the man behind her gently pushed her away. His melodious voice that sounded like a cello slowly rang out. "Mr. Lu and Miss Su, do you have some misunderstanding about me?"
"Misunderstanding? It seems that you don't want to admit your mistake?" Lu Yixuan sneered and threw out a stack of photos. The photos fell to the ground. When everyone looked closely, they found that these photos were all of Xie Xun and Su Mei'er in the same frame. There was even one where Xie Xun pressed Su Mei'er against the wall and kissed her forcefully...
This Xie Xun was too bold. How dare he molest Su Mei'er?
Xie Xun casually glanced at the photos on the ground and said indifferently, "The person on it isn't me."
Lu Yixuan was so angry that he laughed. "It's not you? Could it be that the photos are fake?"
When Xie Xun heard this, he raised his exquisite eyebrows and looked at Su Mei'er. "Miss Su, you are the person involved. You should know very well whether the photos are real or fake."
Su Mei'er's eyes widened and revealed a look of disbelief. Then, she cried pitifully. "Xie Xun, what do you mean by this? The photos are evidence. Do you still want to deny it?"
Hearing this... Qin Zheng finally couldn't hold it in anymore. "Miss Su, how did you get these photos? If they were taken by accident, I'm very curious. These people saw a weak woman being bullied by a man, but not only did they not stop him, they even wanted to take photos as a memento. In the end, they even wanted to develop the photos and give them to you?"
Su Mei'er's expression froze for a moment. However, she quickly thought of an excuse. "I was harassed by Xie Xun at the bar. There were many people taking photos there, so it was normal for them to accidentally take photos of this scene. After they found out that I wanted to collect evidence, these people contacted me out of justice and were willing to help me punish the bad guys. Is there a problem?"
Qin Zheng nodded. "Sure. According to what you said, the guests accidentally took photos of you and Xie Xun when they were taking photos, but the backgrounds of these photos are all different. They should have been taken at different times and places. How could it be so coincidental that there were people taking photos at all the places where Miss Su appeared? Also, I'm very curious about the people who took these photos. Their photography skills are quite professional. Every photo is very clear."
"It's clear because... because I've selected the photos they sent and only left these relatively clear ones. If the photos are blurry, won't that give Xie Xun an excuse?"
Hearing Su Mei'er's words, Xie Xun's expression did not change. He did not defend himself either. Instead, he asked softly, "Miss Su, are you sure you don't want to explain this misunderstanding?"
Su Mei'er felt a chill in her heart when she met the man's cold eyes. She felt a faint sense of unease. However, she quickly calmed down. "I did think about letting it go. After all, you're the person that Miss Qin is protecting now. However, when I think about how more innocent girls will be fooled by your face after I remain silent, I can't choose to stay out of this. So... I'm willing to take the risk of offending Miss Qin today to expose your true colors!"
Su Mei'er's righteous words made everyone present turn their heads.
Xie Xun was only a bartender, but his looks were astonishing. If he wanted to use his face to seduce women, no woman could resist the temptation. Wasn't Qin Zheng an example? The dignified eldest daughter of the Qin family actually proposed to a gigolo in front of everyone. She was really depraved.
"Previously, everyone said that Lu Yixuan cheated on Qin Zheng first, but it hasn't been long since Qin Zheng made a high-profile confession to Xie Xun. Maybe the two of them have already hooked up."
"Heh, a grown man looks like this. He doesn't have any manliness at all. He can only become a woman's plaything."
"A gigolo is a gigolo. Qin Zheng is really stupid. She was actually charmed by such a gigolo."
The more they talked, the more outrageous they became. Qin Zheng sneered coldly. "Shut up!"
Then she looked at Xie Xun, a little worried that he would be hurt by the gossip. However, Xie Xun did not show any embarrassed expression. His expression was calm and otherworldly, cold and arrogant. He was not affected in the slightest.
Amidst the discussions of these people, Xie Xun slowly took out his phone. "Unfortunately, a few days ago, when I was recording the process of mixing drinks, Miss Su suddenly came over and said something strange to me."
Hearing this, Su Mei'er's expression changed drastically.
Qin Zheng's brows twitched. She took Xie Xun's phone and clicked on the video to play. At the beginning of the video, as Xie Xun had said, it was him mixing drinks. The man's fingers were long and clean, and his knuckles were distinct. His movements were methodical and pleasing to the eye.
A few minutes later, there was a knock on the door. Xie Xun went over to open the door, and the woman's voice followed. "Xie Xun, are you busy?"
Immediately after, Su Mei'er's face appeared on the screen. Although it was a little far away, the phone's pixels were pretty good, and one could clearly see that it was Su Mei'er.
Xie Xun's voice was cold and distant. "Miss Su, what's the matter?"
Su Mei'er took out a check. "This is a million dollars. As long as you're willing to follow me, this check is yours."
"Miss Su, what do you mean?"
"Xie Xun, I like you. You're very much like my first lover, so I hope that you can be with me. I know that Qin Zheng's family background is better than mine, and she's richer than I am, but that woman is a workaholic. She's frigid. When she's with Lu Yixuan, she won't even let her hands touch him. She's not interested at all. She's probably a dead fish in bed. You..."
Xie Xun interrupted her. "I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in what you're saying."
Su Mei'er continued to say, "Not interested? Do you think that I don't have enough money or... Do you care about what happens between me and Lu Yixuan? Don't worry, I don't have any feelings for Lu Yixuan. I'm only engaged to him to get his property. After I take down the Lu Corporation, I'll divorce him and focus on being with you. You only need to suffer for a period of time. When that time comes, the Lu Corporation will be ours. Xie Xun, I really like you. I've liked you from the first moment I saw you..."
