Despite the dim lighting in the banquet hall and Lu Weixi’s calm demeanor as she sat there, he saw her instantly.

He could confidently say that Lu Weixi was truly the most beautiful woman that night.

Lu Weixi five years ago was beautiful in the way a young girl is beautiful, appearing pure and beautiful even without makeup. Five years later, having entered society and honed her character, all her previous sharpness and flamboyance had been tamed. Time had treated her well, leaving no traces of hardship on her face but instead bestowing upon her an air of elegance and maturity she hadn’t had before.

Not to mention, she was slightly made up, adding a touch of sophistication to her charm.

Her demeanor was exquisite. Despite being dressed in mature and elegant attire, she didn’t come off as frivolous. She exuded a dignified and elegant beauty that was captivating.

This version of Lu Weixi, let alone stunning Qin Zhigu, even Qin Zhizha who had just spoke ill of her couldn’t help but take a few more glances.

Men couldn’t resist watching her, but women would surely have nothing good to say. Especially Qin Zhimei, who had previously fought with her, and Cai Yiren who had just arrived.

Qin Zhimei snorted: “What’s so great about her?”

She turned to glance at Yu Sixing beside her, who was unusually calm. A brother shouldn’t covet his friend’s wife. He was close with Qin Zhiyou, naturally he wouldn’t be disrespectful, at most he only whistled, “The sister-in-law is pretty good looking.”

As for Cai Yiren, she looked at Qin Zhigu and when she saw his obviously dazed gaze, jealousy surged within her like a raging tide.

Her past image was that of a weak, gentle, and innocent white lotus, quiet and pitiful. If she was bullied, she would merely tear up silently, never articulating her desires aloud, a harmless creature. Over the past few years, she had stepped up due to replacing Lu Weixi’s position, but she was still mainly gentle and compliant.

But no amount of gentleness or compliance could compete with genuine beauty.

As soon as Lu Weixi sat down, she became the center of attention, effortlessly attracting others’ gaze, especially Qin Zhigu’s.

Qin Zhigu composed himself quickly after a brief trance. He followed his parents to the main table. Qin Zhiyou, although being the younger generation, was the president of Hanhai. He naturally took the foremost seat at the table without showing any courtesy. Lu Weixi, as his wife, naturally sat at his side.

Qin Weijian and Qin Weijia didn’t feel comfortable seeing Qin Zhiyou taking the chief seat, so they didn’t sit across from him. The only option left was for Qin Zhigu. As he lifted his head, he could see Qin Zhiyou and Lu Weixi together, the candlelight blurring his vision.

Cai Yiren also hoped to join, but as she and Qin Zhigu had already broken up, and was disliked by Qin Zhiyou, she didn’t dare to sit next to Qin Zhigu. Based on her status, she could only sit at a corner in the back of the restaurant, watching the people at the main table from afar.

As for Qin Zhimei, she rushed over from the Yu Family just before dinner started. No matter how arrogant she was in front of Lu Weixi, she was obedient and submissive to Sixing. She might as well wish she could stick to him all day long.

The beginning of the meal was fine, as it wasn’t custom to propose toasts during a western meal, so there wasn’t much need for socializing at the table.

But once the meal was over and the wine was served, people started to mingle.

Particularly when Lu Weixi came out with Qin Zhiyou, she was the center of attention. Even if she sat still, people would come over to socialize or provoke.

She just didn’t expect that the first one to approach her would be a familiar face..
