Chapter 973: Ball (2)

When Zhai Yunsheng arrived with Jian Yiling at the venue, they attracted the attention of many people.
The two of them had been the talk of Beijing recently.
Everyone was speculating about how the Zhai family would treat Jian Yiling. In addition, they wondered what would be happening between the Zhai family and the Qin family.
"Is that Jian Yiling? She looks different from the photos. In fact, she's so good-looking in person!"
"Yeah, she seems quite different from the photos."
"Wow, her appearance is quite seductive. No wonder Master Sheng likes her."
"Hmmm, she matches Master Sheng quite well. I can't help but wonder if she's the person who poisoned Qin Hongzhi. It will be a pity if such a beautiful girl is a murderer."
"Who knows. After all, no one really knows much about Miss Jian Yiling."
"Well, it seems as though the recent events haven't affected the relationship between Master Sheng and Miss Jian Yiling. They still seem quite happy together."
"..."
Zhai Yunsheng and Jian Yiling attracted the attention of many people.
When Zhai Yunsheng noticed this, his expression darkened. He was not impressed with the looks that Jian Yiling was receiving from young males.
As a result, Zhai Yunsheng dragged Jian Yiling over to a corner.
Then, he took off his blazer and put it around Jian Yiling's body.
Jian Yiling looked at him in confusion.
"The air conditioning here isn't warm enough. Your shoulders will be cold," Zhai Yunsheng explained.
"Then aren't you cold as well?"
"Am I not still wearing a shirt?" After all, Zhai Yunsheng was not the one who was revealing his shoulders and collarbones.
"Oh okay."
After a while, the host, Mr. Goodman appeared in front of everyone.
Mr. Goodman was a man in his forties. He had deep eyes, a high nose bridge, and sharp cheeks.
Mr. Goodman was wearing a black suit. He gave off the impression of a gentleman.
As Mr. Goodman entered the venue, he greeted everyone courteously.
A moment later, Lucy entered the venue after her father. Her beauty was breathtaking and stunning.
Her long blonde hair fell on her shoulders.
Her exquisite makeup accentuated her facial features. This made her look even more bright and eye-catching.
Finally, her white dress was made out of sequins. If one were to carefully look at the dress, one would notice that the dress was not made out of ordinary sequins. Instead, it was made out of small diamond pieces.
In fact, Lucy looked like she had just walked out of a painting.
The men who had been looking at Jian Yiling immediately shifted their eyes and attention onto Lucy.
After all, Jian Yiling was already taken. She was taken by a man who they could not afford to offend.
Furthermore, Zhai Yunsheng did not like young males looking at Jian Yiling.
Zhai Yunsheng took this opportunity to bring Jian Yiling to the dance floor.
However, Jian Yiling was not accustomed to dancing. She had only danced with Zhai Yunsheng a few times.
Lucy searched the crowd for Zhai Yunsheng and Jian Yiling. Finally, her eyes fell onto them.
Jian Yiling was wearing Zhai Yunsheng's blazer. In addition, Zhai Yunsheng's actions were gentle and his eyes were gentler.
Upon seeing this, a flash of sadness appeared in Lucy's eyes.
She remembered the old days when she stayed up late with Zhai Yunsheng to solve maths problems.
Back then, her situation in the Goodman family was not that great. Therefore, whenever she felt lonely, she would turn to mathematics. It was her hobby. As a result, she joined the Eddington Mathematical Association. During her time there, she felt a glimmer of joy in life. Furthermore, when she was with Zhai Yunsheng, she felt like she had found a close friend. She no longer felt alone.
Therefore, in the past two years, she worked very hard to gain the approval of the elders in the Goodman family.
It was very hard for her to gain the approval of her family elders and gain the power that she had today.
And when it was finally the time for her to appear in front of him, she received the news that Zhai Yunsheng had gotten engaged.
