Transmigrated into a female-oriented novel, and put an end to the domineering CEOs all over the city

Just then, we arrived at the banquet hall.

As one of the very few people at the top of the market, Lu Jingxiu and his six companions immediately became the focus of attention as soon as they entered the banquet hall.

The banquet hall, which can accommodate hundreds of people, is decorated in the most luxurious way, with a huge crystal chandelier in the center and various ceiling lights on both sides.

The guests were handsome men and beautiful women; the men wore high-end suits, and the women wore evening gowns with swaying skirts and glittering jewelry.

People gathered in twos and threes, automatically drawing boundaries according to their status and circles.

The moment Lu Jingxiu and his group of six entered the banquet hall, almost everyone's eyes turned to them.

It's not for any other reason than the family backgrounds of these six people, which would be enough to make them the focus of attention in any setting in Bashi.

They naturally walked towards the central area, and many people nodded slightly in greeting as they passed by.

As soon as I stood still, a wave of people surrounded me to greet me and chat.

Lu Jingxiu held his wine glass and politely responded, but in his heart he was calculating when that domineering little princess of the province would finally make her appearance.

Just then, someone gently tugged at my sleeve.

Tang Cheng appeared beside him at some point, lowered his voice, and said with a somewhat subtle expression, "Brother Lu, look over there, why is Li Qingqing here?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Jingxiu turned his head in the direction Tang Cheng indicated.

At the entrance of the banquet hall, a man and a woman were walking in side by side.

The man was in his early twenties, wearing a dark blue tailored suit. He was tall and handsome, with a slight smile on his lips and a cold look in his eyes.

Lu Jingxiu didn't know him, but he recognized him at a glance as a domineering CEO.

The woman holding his arm was Li Qingqing.

Today she wore a white off-the-shoulder dress, a classic princess-style tutu with a voluminous skirt that fell just above her knees.

She revealed a pair of beautiful legs encased in flesh-colored stockings, which clung perfectly to her skin, outlining the straight and slender lines of her legs.

She wore delicate, light makeup, her brows and eyes were cool and aloof, and her slightly curled hair fell over her collarbone, highlighting her fair and graceful neck.

Lu Jingxiu's lips twitched.

Wait, how come Li Qingqing has a role in this kind of banquet?

Is he getting carried away with some kind of plot? Is the next thing he should do, be the ex-boyfriend rushing in to act like a simp, asserting his domineering position, and then fighting with the current boyfriend over the beauty?

Unfortunately, the soul has already been replaced.

He scoffed inwardly, not intending to pay any attention. It was none of his business who Li Qingqing was with.

However, even though he didn't seek out trouble, trouble came to him on its own.

The handsome young man led Li Qingqing straight toward their circle.

Clearly, he was there to greet the sons of high-ranking officials at the top of the market, which is basic social etiquette.

"Young Master Lu, Young Master Tang, Young Master Zhou, Young Master Guo..." The young man greeted them one by one with a polite smile, his attitude neither humble nor arrogant. "I've heard so much about you. I am Fu Xingzhou."

Fu Xingzhou? Lu Jingxiu ran the name through his mind, but couldn't quite place it.

Tang Cheng, standing nearby, quickly whispered, "Fu Xingzhou, the president of the Fu Group, took over the family business at a young age; he's quite shrewd."

Lu Jingxiu nodded and politely replied, "President Fu, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Li Qingqing naturally saw Lu Jingxiu as well.

Her gaze lingered on his face for a moment, but she still wore a faint smile, as if she didn't recognize him.

However, to her dismay, Lu Jingxiu merely glanced at her indifferently, his gaze calm, as if he were looking at an insignificant stranger.

Then she withdrew her gaze and continued to exchange brief pleasantries with Fu Xingzhou.

He didn't even glance at Fu Xingzhou's hand holding hers.

Tang Cheng, standing to the side with a smile on his face, casually asked, "Mr. Fu, is this your girlfriend? She's very beautiful."

Fu Xingzhou nodded, his tone flat: "Yes, my girlfriend, Li Qingqing."

"A perfect match, a handsome man and a beautiful woman," Tang Cheng complimented with a forced smile.

Fu Xingzhou didn't seem to want to talk much. After a brief greeting, he prepared to leave this inner circle with Li Qingqing.

Just as the two turned around, Li Qingqing, holding a glass of red wine, paused slightly, turned to the side and raised her glass towards Lu Jingxiu, making a toasting gesture.

Out of politeness, Lu Jingxiu also raised his glass.

The two men's glasses clinked lightly in the air, producing a crisp "ding" sound.

Taking advantage of this extremely close distance, Li Qingqing leaned slightly forward and whispered quickly in a voice only the two of them could hear, her tone tinged with amusement:

"Young Master Lu, I recently discovered something interesting about your sister."

After she finished speaking, she pursed her red lips and gave him a bright smile.

That smile was gentle, and to others it was just a polite greeting, but there was a deeper meaning hidden in those eyes.

Then, she turned around gracefully, her skirt swirling gently, took Fu Xingzhou's arm, and walked away without looking back.

Lu Jingxiu stood there, watching her back, and frowned.

A feeling of unease welled up inside me.

This woman always leaves things unsaid, deliberately keeping people in suspense.

Was she trying to use this ambiguous message to lure him into going to her?

He recalled how Lu Na seemed preoccupied and clearly not quite right when he got home that afternoon.

She was even distracted during dinner.

Is there something between these two women that he doesn't know about? Why is Li Qingqing investigating Lu Na?

What right does she, an outsider, have to investigate his sister?

Moreover, in the original owner's memory, Li Qingqing's social circle was very small, and she didn't know Fu Xingzhou at all.

The more Lu Jingxiu thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

He put down his glass, smiled apologetically at the brothers surrounding him, and said, "I have to take care of something. You guys chat first."

After saying that, he turned around and pushed through the crowd, walking quickly in the direction Li Qingqing had left. He needed to find out what this woman was up to.

The banquet hall was bustling with people, and amidst the clinking of glasses, guests were exchanging pleasantries while holding wine glasses. He said "Excuse me" as he searched for the white figure with his eyes.

However, before he could get close, an unexpected person stepped in front of Li Qingqing.

She was an extremely beautiful girl.

She wore elaborate makeup, with full red lips and striking features.

She was wearing a haute couture gown from a top brand, and the diamond earrings on her earlobes sparkled under the lights. Every detail of her outfit exuded elegance.

rich.

Lu Jingxiu paused, stopping a short distance behind the two.

The beautiful woman held her wine glass, slightly raising her chin, and looked down at Li Qingqing with a condescending gaze. Her red lips curled into a mocking smile.

"Oh my, isn't this Li Qingqing?"
