Seeing Zhao Qibing's sour expression, Xiao Wangba dropped the subject and turned to another. Although the Xiao family now had the backing of the hidden Pi family and was not what it once was, the Zhao family had been a hidden family from the start, so by comparison the Xiao family was still a notch below, and he naturally did not dare to be presumptuous before Zhao Qibing.
"Young Master Bing, Xu Shilan is quite a beauty. Have you any designs on her, any thought of winning the fair lady for yourself?" Xiao Wangba asked.
In truth, the two Xiao brothers had come here with the same notion of sampling her charms; only, with Zhao Qibing present, they naturally had to sound out his intentions first, lest a contest with him later cost them face.
As for Wu Chengtian, there was no need to worry. He had come purely as company for the Xiao brothers. Lately he had been running around with them all day and knew them well. Only, Wu Chengtian was besotted with Sun Jingyan, and had no interest in playing with stars.
"Ha, you have hit the mark! I came here for Xu Shilan!" Zhao Qibing cackled. "This Xu Shilan is even prettier in person than on television. That body of hers, after one look my heart itched so badly I wanted nothing more than to carry her straight off to bed!"
Zhao Qibing spoke without the slightest scruple, his voice loud, and in fact he meant for others nearby to hear. Some of those present knew him, and knew of the deep background behind him, so now that he had said his piece, even if someone else still entertained designs on Xu Shilan, they would have to think twice about Zhao Qibing.
"Is that so... then allow me to wish you early success, Brother Zhao, in winning the fair lady!" Xiao Wangba's expression was somewhat unnatural. He too had harbored the very same idea, but now he could only play the foil to Zhao Qibing. There was no help for it; who had made the man a scion of a hidden family?
Wu Chengtian felt nothing in particular. At this moment he was chatting with the young man whom Wei Zhao found familiar; by the look of it, Wu Chengtian even seemed to be courting the young man's favor, while the young man accompanied him with a bland expression, as though he was not much taken with Wu Chengtian.
Who was this person? Wei Zhao frowned, pondering the young man's identity.
Wei Zhao was absolutely certain he had seen this person before, yet for the moment he could not recall where. One thing was certain: the man was clearly no close acquaintance of his, otherwise he could not have thought so long without recalling a thing...
Just as Wei Zhao was pondering who this person was, a stir ran through the hall, and then music sounded from the speakers. It seemed Xu Shilan was about to make her entrance.
Sure enough, to the accompaniment of the music, Xu Shilan walked in through the entrance of the banquet hall in full splendor. At her side stood her manager, Sister Wang, and her close guard, Feng Sanmang; and on her other side was a middle-aged man who appeared to be the boss of the entertainment company.
