As the girl approached step by step, her presence and beauty left people utterly captivated.
Like all the men present, Yin Heng couldn’t help but tighten his grip on his glass.
Seeing the girl already standing before him, in the midst of the crowd, Yin Heng held a glass of wine and took a gentlemanly step forward, raising his glass towards the girl. “Miss Yi, I’m Yin Heng, the son of Yin Yuerong, a board member…”
However, the girl completely ignored Yin Heng, as if she hadn’t seen him and hadn’t heard his voice.
The sight of Yin Heng being ignored naturally caught the attention of onlookers, who couldn’t help but sigh.
“Ha, she completely ignored him!”
“That’s the man even Miss Qin had her eyes on, but Miss Yi doesn’t even spare a glance!”
“Come on, Miss Yi’s standards are definitely higher than Miss Qin’s; what’s so surprising about it!”
Yin Heng, feeling somewhat embarrassed, could only smile faintly and pretended to not care as he withdrew his glass.
Qin Xiyuan, hearing the comments around her, had an increasingly displeased expression, and her gaze towards Yin Heng turned somewhat unkind.
“What’s the matter? Any thoughts?” Qin Xiyuan glanced at Yin Heng.
Yin Heng was momentarily taken aback, then shook his head, calmly saying, “Miss Qin, she is, after all, the daughter of Chairman Yi. I raised a toast; that’s what I should do. How she responds is not my concern.”
As a man, he was naturally more attracted to someone like Yi Yunmo, but to him, Yi Yunmo was like a distant star, beautiful but out of reach. Meanwhile, Qin Xiyuan was already his possession, and in this situation, he couldn’t afford to offend her for the sake of Yi Yunmo.
“You’re quite eloquent,” Qin Xiyuan coldly huffed.
However, she couldn’t be unaware of Yin Heng’s intentions!
Originally, she should have been the center of attention today, enjoying the gaze of all the men chasing after her.
But never in a million years did she expect Yi Yunmo to appear out of nowhere, causing all the men who had been circling around her just a moment ago to shift their attention to Yi Yunmo.
Even Yin Heng was no exception…
On the other side, many high-ranking members of the Arbitration Council were eager to approach but didn’t dare to strike up a conversation with this precious daughter of Chairman Yi.
This person was as cold as ice and looked down on anything present at the scene. Engaging in a conversation with her would be nothing but a bore.
“Brother Nine… She should be Sister Nine, right… In this world, except for twins, there couldn’t possibly be anyone who looks exactly the same,” Lin Que, not far away, stared at Si Yehan with a puzzled expression.
Si Yehan’s gaze fell on the girl, silent and deep in thought.
Si Yehan greatly admired and respected the Chairman of the Arbitration Council, Yi Lingjun, and didn’t believe that Yi Lingjun would lie or deceive everyone. However, based on his intuition, that girl couldn’t possibly be Yi Yunmo…
This left only two possibilities.
As mentioned by Yi Lingjun, his daughter Yi Yunmo had been separated earlier, and it was possible that Yan Wenwen had deceived Yi Lingjun through some means, making her the new Yi Yunmo.
Apart from that, there was another possibility that Yi Lingjun, the Chairman, had actually deceived everyone present.
But why?
After briefly chatting with everyone, Yi Lingjun immediately went to find his beloved daughter.
“Why did you talk for so long?” Yan Wenwen grumbled.
“Isn’t she here now? Good daughter, what’s the matter? Are you finally seeking your father’s help?” Yi Lingjun asked with some anticipation.
Yan Wenwen nodded repeatedly. “Yes, please introduce me to Si Yehan!”
Yi Lingjun remarked, “I think the one with a split personality might be you, my dear daughter…”
Yan Wenwen replied, “You flatter me; I’m just following in your footsteps.”
Yi Lingjun: “…”
