Prosecutor vs. Minister: A Battle of Wits
Chapter 40 - 040: The Ball

Chapter 40: Chapter 040: The Ball

As night fell, the distant tranquil and dark sky began to show twinkling stars, and the leaves by the road danced as shadows under the moonlight.

A racy red Ferrari raced along the highway and came to a steady stop in front of the Lu Family villa.

Qi Feng, dressed in a black tailcoat, first emerged from the driver’s seat. A red bow tie was tied at his collar, and the normally carefree expression on his face had turned somewhat serious.

He walked over to the passenger side and gentlemanly opened the door for Jiang Tong.

A pair of legs, as white as snow and smooth as cream, extended just a little outwards, enough to leave people drooling.

With a closer look, Jiang Tong climbed out of the Ferrari completely.

She had clear, bright peach blossom eyes, with a hint of mischief at the bottom, and a delicate face like that of a doll.

Her flawless, fair skin revealed a faint flush, and her lips were as luscious as rose petals, tempting anyone to want to lick them.

Jiang Tong wore a white long dress, her hair slightly wavy, moon-shaped earrings nestled by her ears, while her hand lightly rested on Qi Feng’s elbow.

"What’s the matter? Aren’t you going in yet?"

On hearing this, Qi Feng withdrew his amazed gaze from her and gulped hard, "Got it, we’re going in now."

"..."

Because the Lu Family’s old master had acquired the painting he had longed for, this party was held on a grand scale.

Apart from the three top elite families in Beijing, almost every celebrity attended this party.

As they entered the hall, taking advantage of the crowd, Jiang Tong secretly hid in a corner and began her feast journey.

Exactly.

Perhaps everyone present was there to make friends.

But she, on the other hand, was there for a free dinner.

Watching her wolf down the food, Qi Feng speechlessly twitched the corner of his mouth.

"Why aren’t you paying attention to your image? There are so many people here."

Jiang Tong didn’t even lift her head, "Don’t worry, these people are busy socializing, there’s no way they’d pay attention to me."

With her years of experience, she had long figured out this so-called high society party.

Rather than putting on a fake smile to please people, she’d rather sit down and enjoy a good meal.

She’s someone who just inherently doesn’t like fawning over others.

Qi Feng glanced at her, shaking his head somewhat helplessly, "Then you sit here for a while, I’ll go say hi to Lu Yuxuan."

Lu Yuxuan, the young master of the Lu Family, currently working in the Ministry of Education, it was proper for him to go and greet him.

Jiang Tong nodded, "Alright, come back soon."

Since she was more than familiar with these occasions, Qi Feng left her with peace of mind.

A few minutes after he left, Gu Qize approached Jiang Tong with a glass of champagne.

"Hi, Little Jiangjiang, do you remember me?" He grinned with a lecherous smile, staring straight at Jiang Tong.

Oh wow.

Pulling his second brother over today was indeed a wise decision!

Look, just like that, he unexpectedly ran into his ’second sister-in-law’～

Gu Qize’s saccharine greeting of Little Jiangjiang nearly made Jiang Tong spit out her cake.

"Cough, cough, cough, what did you just call me?" she coughed continuously.

Gu Qize blinked, "Little Jiangjiang, isn’t it a nice name? You don’t like it? Then I’ll call you Little Tongtong?"

Jiang Tong: "..."

Hey, hold on, big brother, are we that close?

Coming straight in and calling her like that just blew her mind.

"Uh... sorry, actually, what I want to ask is, who are you?"

Upon hearing her words, Gu Qize’s face immediately fell, "You actually forgot me..."
