972 Chapter 971 of “Quickly Traveling [Jade Body Exposed]”

Ambitious and self-employed x warlord [sixty-eight]

There was a banquet tonight. Qi Zhen didn’t tell her what to do specifically, and just let her have fun as she pleased.

However, when Li Xin came to the scene, she couldn’t help but give Qi Zhen a hard look.

Is this called casual play?!

There were already many people in the hall. It was a big place, so it wasn’t crowded, but the people were still densely packed and dazzling.

Fortunately, Li Xin is not someone who has never seen big scenes.

She held Qi Zhen’s arm, with a decent smile on her face, not too much, not too little, just right.

Naturally, there were many people who knew Qi Zhen. When someone came up to say hello, she would listen quietly beside him, her eyebrows and eyes calm, and she was not surprised at all.

After completing the circle, Qi Zhen was a little surprised: “I never noticed it before,” he pinched her chin, looked her over carefully, and said with a smile, “You look like a lady from a famous family.”

Li Xin grabbed his hand and snorted at him: “There are so many things that I didn’t realize.”

As he spoke, he purposely puffed up his chest and gestured for him to look down with a proud expression.

Qi Zhen knew about the changes here yesterday.

But he wanted to tease Li Xin right now, so he deliberately pretended to be pityful, stared at her chest for a while, and then sighed: “I’m brave, but I’m pretty safe here.”

When Li Xin heard this, she immediately pricked her hair.

It’s obviously getting bigger, okay!

Just when she was about to argue with Qi Zhen, Qi Zhen’s entourage came over and whispered a few words in his ear.

Qi Zhen looked a little solemn after hearing this.

He asked his entourage to leave first, then turned around and told Li Xin to stay here and wait for his return. Then he called the servant standing outside and asked her to follow Li Xin.

After the explanation, Qi Zhen left in a hurry.

Li Xin stayed alone. When someone came to talk to her, they were all people who had good friendships with Qi Zhen. Li Xin couldn’t talk much, so she exchanged casual greetings and separated from them.

She walked around and finally came to a corner and found a place to sit down.

This place was a bit remote, and Li Xin was sitting with her back to her, so not many people around her noticed her.

She played with the jade bracelet in her hand, but her ears were raised high, listening carefully to the movements of those behind her.

You know, this kind of banquet is a large-scale information exchange meeting.

As a bridge of information, these ladies are absolutely indispensable.

Li Xin listened carefully, and some of the elders talked about the family feud, or the marriage between children. From this, she could tell which families were interested in forming a relationship.

She more or less remembered it.

After listening to this, she went to listen to others. Back and forth, she memorized the useful ones, and she had more or less figured out the general network of relationships.

Just listening, she suddenly heard Wang Peirong’s name.

Li Xin looked at the person who was speaking. She was a somewhat plump lady. She was dressed in a noble style. Her face was rosy and she could tell that she was living a well-fed life.

She said to another slender lady: “I heard that the one has fallen out of favor now. It seems that the fifth master of the Qi family took in a little girl not long ago, and he is looking forward to it now.”

The slender lady replied: “No, they are here too today. I just took a look, and it was only the little fox girl.”

The fat lady couldn’t help sighing: “Speaking of those days, who wouldn’t praise Wang Peirong for saying she was lucky enough to just marry Mr. Qi Wu and only treat her alone?”

The thin lady also sighed: “Who says it’s not the case…”

As she spoke, she paused slightly, looked around, lowered her voice, and said mysteriously to the fat lady: “The news I heard, that lady,” the thin lady said, “is sick in bed right now. I heard that the sick can’t even get up.”

Li Xin was suddenly startled.
