Chapter 512: Chapter 470: Haven’t I Taught You That Being a Mistress is Shameful?

Elder Zhuo finished speaking and turned to leave.

Zhuo Jinman’s eyes narrowed slightly with displeasure.

When she returned to the banquet hall, the feast was already halfway through.

Xiaobao and Jin Ruoshi were playfully offering Jiang Zhe a toast.

Qin Jingchen intercepted them and switched the drink to milk for Jiang Zhe.

Jiang Zhe gave Qin Jingchen a cool glance but still accepted the milk.

"That won’t do, idol doesn’t drink, why don’t you drink on her behalf?" Jin Ruoshi persisted.

Qin Jingchen picked up a glass and downed it, prompting a burst of laughter and noise.

The scene was lively, and the Jiang matriarch observed with cold eyes Qin Jingchen’s actions and his attitude towards Jiang Zhe, and finally, she nodded slowly.

Qin Jingchen drank a few more sips and became slightly tipsy.

Jiang Zhe glanced at him and said, "Go wash your face in the restroom, then take a break on the terrace over there."

He acknowledged her suggestion and said, "Don’t you drink."

"I know," Jiang Zhe responded, shaking her milk glass.

Qin Jingchen went to the restroom at the end of the banquet hall, washed his hands, and then stood on the terrace for a while.

He wasn’t really noticeably drunk, but he didn’t want to disappoint Jiang Zhe’s kind intentions.

As he was about to turn and leave, Fang Jun walked towards him.

Fang Jun had gone downstairs earlier as Elder Fang had wanted and waited in the car for a while, but still felt somewhat discontented.

She didn’t know what else she could do by returning, but she did come back, and upon arriving here, she saw Qin Jingchen standing alone, so she immediately approached him.

Qin Jingchen was on his way back. As he passed by her, he did not glance her way; he couldn’t say he hadn’t seen her, but to say he hadn’t recognized her was the truth.

Fang Jun, feeling ignored, couldn’t contain herself and called out, "Mr. Qin."

Upon hearing the voice, Qin Jingchen realized this was someone he knew.

He had indeed not paid any attention before.

He stopped in his tracks, and Fang Jun had already run up to him, addressing him, "Mr. Qin, won’t you really consider the matter between you and the Fang Family? The Zhuo Family is currently very powerful, while the Jiang Family is nothing more than a declining nobility. There’s no benefit for you in being with Jiang Zhe. I can represent the Fang Family and am also the beloved disciple of Doctor Zhuo..."

She blurted out all these words in one breath. She didn’t believe Qin Jingchen hadn’t thought about this, but she knew he definitely hadn’t thought deeply on it.

These were things that only when someone reminded him, he would really pay more attention.

Can affairs of the heart be compared to the glory of the family?

Qin Jingchen looked down from his superior height, surveying her with interest. Fang Jun felt a tingle in her heart under his gaze and said, "Mr. Qin, you should really consider this carefully."

Then Qin Jingchen spoke, "Shouldn’t the Fang Family be more worried about Zhuo Jinman than I should?"

Fang Jun was taken aback, immediately retorting, "How could that be? Our two families are cooperating very well."

However, Qin Jingchen didn’t continue on the topic, instead saying indifferently, "Jiang Zhe and I are also fine. What, hasn’t Zhuo Jinman as your mentor taught you that being the other woman is shameful?"

Fang Jun’s face turned red with embarrassment, not expecting Qin Jingchen to be so direct and unreserved.

She remembered when Qin Jingchen mentioned the alliance through marriage with the Fang Family but hadn’t mentioned her name, thinking he would at least show some consideration.

In fact, when Qin Jingchen hadn’t brought up her name, it was simply because he considered her entirely unimportant and saw no need to mention her.

Qin Jingchen finished speaking and turned to leave.

Xiaobao ran over and said, "Master, what are you doing here? Are you trying to stealthily avoid drinking? Come on, let’s get back!"

Master? Fang Jun was somewhat surprised, she had only ever heard Xiaobao call Beifeng that before.

What’s going on here?

Fang Jun returned to the car where Elder Fang was waiting for her.

"Where have you been?" Elder Fang asked.

"I suddenly remembered that I hadn’t said goodbye to a friend, so I went to let him know."

Elder Fang was not suspicious, but simply said, "You saw what happened today, Qin Jingchen and Jiang Zhe... I’m afraid there’s nothing more we can do."

"Dad, that Qin Jingchen, has he ever been to the military training troops?" Fang Jun asked.

"Oh, he has, Beifeng," Elder Fang replied.

The incident of Qin Kuo going to the military camp had caused quite a stir, and Zhuo Jinman’s side even had Assistant Xu help with the aftermath, so Elder Fang naturally inquired about it.

This matter was not a big deal, and Assistant Xu didn’t hide anything and told him about it.

"Beifeng? Are you saying Qin Jingchen is Beifeng?"

"Yes, I’ve been meaning to tell you about this, but it never came to mind. Now you’ve seen it for yourself, this man, his abilities are not simple."

Blood rushed to Fang Jun’s face, turning it entirely red.

If Qin Jingchen were not Beifeng, she might still have had a chance.

But he was Beifeng! The same Beifeng who had always been with the military training troops!

Not to mention all the things he had done to protect Jiang Zhe, just the fact that she had been giving Qin Jingchen the cold shoulder all along the way now made her scalp tingle and her blood surge at the mere thought.

Back then, how could she have known that Beifeng was Qin Jingchen, that Qin Jingchen was Beifeng? She had merely thought him to be a military instructor, and besides, he looked quite ordinary back then, nothing worth noting.

She never gave Qin Jingchen any kindness at that time.

Thinking of all this, she felt not just regret, but embarrassment to the point of wanting to dig a hole and bury herself in it.

In all her years on the Beicheng Continent, she had never felt such embarrassment.

"What’s wrong?" Elder Fang asked.

"It’s nothing, nothing," Fang Jun shook her head.

Perhaps those watching the live broadcast didn’t care about the looks she threw at Beifeng, but as the person involved, how could she not be clear about it? And how could Qin Jingchen not understand?

In fact, Fang Jun was overthinking it.

The disdain and dirty looks she gave Qin Jingchen, Qin Jingchen truly didn’t care about them; he was there for Jiang Zhe alone, naturally only caring about what Jiang Zhe said and did. What other people did, he didn’t bother to pay attention to.

Including Fang Jun, she was just a passerby.

...

When Qin Jingchen returned to the banquet hall, most of the guests had already left the tables and were arranged to play cards, drink tea, and chat in pairs or groups.

Only Fatty Fen Ye, Jin Ruoshi, and some others were still with Jiang Zhe.

However, there were a few more people.

It was the Hunter and a few of his brothers he had brought along.

The Hunter had a clear purpose for coming this time, which was to seek out Jiang Zhe.

His brothers had already tried to advise him, mentioning all the grudges between Jiang Zhe and Zhuo Jinman, that taking Jiang Zhe under his wing rashly could very likely offend Zhuo Jinman. With so many good prospects around, there was no need to focus on Jiang Zhe alone.

But the Hunter didn’t listen. Good prospects were plenty, but a prospect as promising as Jiang Zhe was not easy to come by.

Moreover, his pursuit of Jiang Zhe was for the military, for the Beicheng Continent; could Zhuo Jinman really let personal gains override such reasons?
