My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 1945: Eccentric
The most important thing is to also test the depth of the Fengye Family’s defense capabilities.
Sure enough, it revealed quite a bit of the Fengye Family’s power.
Some information was also discovered.
However, this time, it was like startling the snake by hitting the grass. To enter again in the future, a more special and risky method must be used.
"Young Master Ling Kong, you’re here. I’m really sorry about that night. I drank too much and fell asleep in a muddled state, leaving the guest behind. I’m truly embarrassed." Fengye Ningyuan’s niece, the hostess of the masquerade ball that night, Fengye Xiangzi, eyes lit up when she saw Ji Lingkong, and she approached with a bright and charming smile.
Ji Lingkong’s identity, she naturally knew. Both his appearance and his family background were impeccably perfect. Recently, due to the war, he became famous and was a hot prospect pursued by high society ladies.
She really didn’t expect him to seek her out; she felt somewhat flattered.
But that night, somehow, she got overexcited, drank herself unconscious, and missed the opportunity.
"Miss Xiangzi, no need to be so polite." Ji Lingkong’s polite expression carried a faint aloofness and coldness.
Fengye Xiangzi, being a shrewd socialite, noticed the polite yet indifferent tone and demeanor, and understood that he was no longer interested in her, feeling a little regretful.
However, she was a self-aware person, knowing her past poor qualities and scandals, and figured this distinguished gentleman wouldn’t fancy her.
Just remembering that night, his enchanting smile and low, seductive voice made it feel like a lavish, illusory dream. She even doubted whether she had actually flirted with him that night.
"The Fengye Clan is indeed a beautiful family, delightful to behold." Ji Lingkong said, holding a wine glass, glancing around the room. Many guests were intoxicated, but there were also many from the Fengye Clan who were mingling and conversing cheerfully with guests from various backgrounds.
They were at ease, graceful, both handsome and charming, indeed leaving a very good impression.
This family being the number one clan in Eagle Country indeed has its reasons, being a family with a very strong style, beautiful to behold.
No wonder it’s said that every year during the elections of various government officials in Eagle Country, the Fengye Clan members, when evenly matched with others in strength, always win more support from voters due to their outstanding looks.
Fengye Xiangzi giggled, feeling quite proud and a little smug.
"Naturally. In our Fengye Clan’s family teachings, there’s a pursuit of beauty. Beauty is an excellence as well as a powerful resource. As the most outstanding family, our appearance is impeccable, God’s most exquisite creation, and the envy of the world. Our Fengye Family is the most dazzling diamond among powerful families, destined to go global in the future!"
Ji Lingkong found it rather amusing and somewhat intriguing to hear that a family considers appearance as their life, and they indeed knew how to utilize their looks to the fullest advantage.
"However, I’ve heard that the current family head, Old Sir Fengye’s son, is the most beautiful one in the family, but he doesn’t seem to have any interest in women. That’s truly a shame, for such exceptional looks not to be passed down, isn’t it a loss for the Fengye Family."
"You’ve heard about my cousin? Actually, I always thought he was gay, and it’s such a pity. Why do today’s handsome men not like women? But..." Fengye Xiangzi smiled mysteriously, "I recently discovered that my cousin is actually straight, and he’s had someone special in mind for a long time, just keeping it hidden. He’s about to get married now."
