Shi Qinglan was wearing an evening gown and light make-up, so her pretty face was more seductive than usual and her eyes were even more bewitching.
Her shoulders were well-formed, her waist was narrow, and her figure was exquisite.
Even while holding a coconut chocolate ball in her hand, her mannerisms were elegantly alluring.
“This is a high-class charity dinner that is only by invitation. What are you doing here?” Xu Sheng said with a cold expression.
Shi Qinglan pouted her red lips as she popped that coconut chocolate ball into her mouth. Even the way she ate the snack was incredibly seductive. “You said it yourself. Only by invitation.”
Hence, of course, she was here because she had the invite.
Xu Sheng narrowed his eyes with disdain. “You are just the adopted daughter of the Shen Family. Where did you get the invite when the Shens are not even qualified to come here?”
“Hmm. Maybe I’d stolen it.”
Shi Qinglan lowered her eyes. She wiped her hands with a handkerchief before picking a new item again.
Obviously, she didn’t want to entertain Xu Sheng, but the guy didn’t get her hint at all. Instead, he raised his voice. “You stole the invite?”
The people around them began to look over.
Realizing that she was being watched, Shi Qinglan retrieved her hand that was about to pick up the macarons and threw Xu Sheng a side glance.
“I was wondering how an ordinary person from the slums like you got the invite to this banquet.” Xu Sheng’s expression was even colder as he refused to let go. “Since you have admitted that you have stolen it and we are schoolmates, I will not get the security officers to throw you out. You leave on your own accord now!”
Shi Qinglan was so angry that she laughed out loud. She was just fooling around with him with a nonsensical answer, but she hadn’t expected Xu Sheng to really believe it. “Young Master Xu, since you have an invite, you should know that the name of the guest is written on it.”
Xu Sheng frowned. Of course, he knew that.
But he just couldn’t understand how Shi Qinglan got the invite, so he was fixated on the theory that she had stolen it.
“Quit the quibbling! Since you dare to send your foster sister to the police station with false accusations, do you think I would believe your words?”
Xu Sheng was fierce, and the way he accused her with confidence had also convinced the surrounding crowd.
“How could there be people who entered here by stealing the invite…”
“I thought this was a high-class charity dinner. I didn’t expect a girl from the slums to barge in as she wishes?”
“What a killjoy! Quick, get the security officers to throw her out!”
Some of the rich families in Mingcheng knew Xu Sheng, but they hadn’t noticed that Shi Qinglan had come in with Bo Yucheng. Thus, they were trying to stir up trouble to get into the Xu Family’s good books.
Shi Qinglan laughed softly. “Young Master Xu, don’t seek your own demise.”
Of course, Xu Sheng missed the threat in her tone. He frowned with a cold expression. “If you are going to be so thick-skinned and stubborn, I am going to call the security officers! Don’t blame me for embarrassing you!”
“Call, then.” Shi Qinglan was unfazed.
Xu Sheng didn’t expect she would take the hard way. But he also didn’t want to lose face in front of all these people, so he shouted furiously, “Security! Someone got here with a stolen invite. Come and throw her out now!”
The security officers responsible for the order in the banquet hall quickly stepped up after hearing the Young Master Xu’s call. “Miss, don’t blame us for being rude since you have antagonized Young Master Xu!”
They were prepared to carry Shi Qinglan away.
But a cold voice suddenly said, “Wait a minute!”
Shi Qingjue strode into the banquet hall and started to appraise the situation with narrowed eyes. “What is happening here?”
