Chapter 100: Chapter 100: Targeted Upon Entry

Fang Anning applied light makeup and changed into a fitting dress before stepping out with He Tingchen.

It was during the makeup that she realized all her cosmetics had been replaced by He Tingchen with ones suitable for pregnant women.

"Thank you." After getting in the car, Fang Anning thanked He Tingchen.

He Tingchen glanced at her belly and said, "No need for thanks, it’s not for you."

"I know, it’s for him, but I still want to thank you for being so thoughtful," said Fang Anning.

She then remembered something and hurriedly asked, "Is there anything I need to pay attention to at the banquet?"

Perhaps the etiquette or the way to talk?

"Don’t drink alcohol," He Tingchen replied.

Fang Anning: "..."

"Mr. He, your presence truly graces this occasion."

As He Tingchen entered with Fang Anning, a middle-aged man came forward to greet them with polite flattery.

He Tingchen nodded faintly and kept walking without pausing.

The man quickly followed by their side, leading them through the crowd into the hall.

Pushing the doors into the hall, they found it bustling with many guests.

This was Fang Anning’s first time attending such a large-scale banquet.

The one before in the United States didn’t count—it was just a private party.

As soon as He Tingchen appeared, many people turned to look their direction. Although most were businessmen from Yun City, few had seen He Tingchen in person.

Here, Fang Anning could overhear numerous whispers.

"So this is He Tingchen?"

"Really? He’s He Tingchen? Impossible, isn’t he supposed to be ugly as sin?"

"Who knows, a relative claimed to have seen him and described him as extremely handsome, I didn’t believe it until now."

"Wow, He Tingchen is so handsome, I’m so envious of the woman by his side."

"With that kind of appearance, if only I knew, I would have married him."

Fang Anning slightly curved her lips and whispered to He Tingchen, "You should’ve shown your face sooner, had you done that, countless women would be crying and begging to marry you."

"If I had shown my face earlier, you wouldn’t have had your turn, would you?" He Tingchen said in a low voice.

Fang Anning was struck for a moment, realizing he was right.

If He Tingchen had shown his face earlier, Zhou Muyan would have been the one crying and fussing to marry him, and how would it ever come to be her turn?

Thus, it’s all about timing and fate, everything arranged by destiny.

"Mr. He, finally getting to see your true face is a delight, I didn’t expect Mr. He to be so attractive."

At this moment, a tall, middle-aged woman who exuded the air of a powerful executive approached, waving her glass of red wine.

He Tingchen gave a faint nod.

The woman then turned to Fang Anning and asked, "And who might this lady be?"

"My lowly wife," He Tingchen replied coolly.

Fang Anning inwardly rolled her eyes, thinking, ’Your lowly wife, really? Couldn’t you have said lady of the house? Wife? Mrs.?’

"So, you’re Mrs. He, not quite what I had pictured," the woman said with a light laugh.

Fang Anning smiled faintly and inquired, "May I ask how this lady pictured Mrs. He to be?"

The woman’s lips curved as she pointed at Qi Wenli, who was walking by, elegant and dignified, "At the very least, like Miss Qi here."

"Oh, this lady has good taste, Miss Qi was indeed the first Mrs. He. Unfortunately, she didn’t live up to the position and was therefore replaced," Fang Anning said with a smile.

So it turns out this strong-willed woman was Qi Wenli’s person.

It makes sense. After all, the Qi family is a wealthy family in Yun City, so having a few more friends and relatives is normal.

However, if she thinks she can bully me just because of her status, she’s got another thing coming.

Indeed, the strong-willed woman didn’t expect Fang Anning to be so articulate and quick-witted. A few sharp words from her left the woman’s face looking quite ugly.

She said to He Tingchen with a cold face, "Mr. He, the etiquette of your wife really is worrisome. Who did Mr. He hire to teach her? Otherwise, let me recommend a couple of better etiquette teachers to re-educate Mrs. He on the rules of social engagement."

"I taught her. Any objections?" He Tingchen asked.

Strong-willed woman: "..."

Her face instantly stiffened, looking awkwardly at He Tingchen.

Fang Anning almost burst into laughter.

Fortunately, she held it in, or else the strong-willed woman’s face would have looked even uglier.

Qi Wenli had already come over and stood by for a while. She said to the strong-willed woman, "Yuanyuan sister, now do you believe me? Mr. He is really protective of his little wife. So, don’t easily make Mrs. He angry."

"I have been rude. Please don’t be angry, Mr. He." The strong-willed woman, Zhao Yuanyuan, immediately apologized to He Tingchen.

He Tingchen ignored her, leaving her even more embarrassed.

After a momentary pause, she spoke again as if talking to herself, "I am also very good friends with Mrs. Liao, and she has arrived too. Mrs. He, you must be familiar with Mrs. Liao as well, shall we go find her together?"

Fang Anning immediately clung tighter to He Tingchen’s arm.

She had no intention of leaving him, her amulet.

Go find He Min?

As if she were crazy!

"No need, she is right here by my side," He Tingchen said.

After that, he left with Fang Anning.

As Fang Anning left, she gave Zhao Yuanyuan and Qi Wenli a triumphant smile.

Hmph, with these little tricks of theirs, did they really think they could plot against her?

"This woman is actually quite clever," Zhao Yuanyuan commented coldly after the two walked away.

Qi Wenli laughed lightly and said, "Of course she’s clever, otherwise, out of so many women, He Tingchen didn’t keep any but her. Naturally, she has her own clever ways."

"Then it won’t be easy for you to get back by He Tingchen’s side," Zhao Yuanyuan said.

Qi Wenli’s eyes filled with sadness, and she bit her lip, "But I just want to be Mrs. He again. Yuanyuan sister, help me. You and Mrs. Liao are besties, help me think of a way."

"I am your sister-in-law, of course, I will help you think of something. But He Min has recently taken a fancy to the Bai family’s girl, and he even wants the Bai family girl to marry into the He family, so he might not be willing to help you," Zhao Yuanyuan said.

"Bai Yunzhu? She’s just a brainless little girl. We can deal with her after getting rid of Fang Anning. She’s still easy to handle," Qi Wenli said contemptuously.

Zhao Yuanyuan shook her head.

At that moment, she saw He Min walking towards them.

Zhao Yuanyuan suddenly had an idea and, with a smile, said, "Just wait, dealing with that wild girl, leave it to He Min."

After that, she walked towards He Min.

"Did I just see you talking to Tingchen?"

He Min saw Zhao Yuanyuan and, without waiting for Zhao Yuanyuan to speak, asked first.

Zhao Yuanyuan was secretly overjoyed; she didn’t even need to find an excuse.

So she quickly said, "Yes, I just greeted Mr. He. Also, I was nicely reprimanded by your dear niece. I’ve never been scolded like that before, especially by such a naive little girl."

"What? She dared to disrespect you?" He Min was surprised.

Zhao Yuanyuan hastily embellished the story of what had just happened.

After finishing, she shook her head, "I really didn’t expect that such a woman could marry into the He family."
