Lin Tong smiled softly without speaking, because she didn’t know what to say.

People from Yan Country value humility, and when faced with praise from others, they should say ’No, no, we were just lucky’... But what Carter said was all true, and if she played along with it, it would seem insincere!

Moreover, when someone so praises her own man, as his wife, Lin Tong feels incredibly happy inside and couldn’t bear to interrupt...

But Ye Xuan couldn’t take it any longer: "Mr. Carter, that’s enough. At the end of the day, aren’t you also interested in the future potential of the Eastern Group? We’re all businessmen, just doing business!"

"Haha, Black Emperor, you’re still the same. They say people from Yan Country are the most subtle, yet you’re more straightforward than anyone!" Carter didn’t blush at being called out; he laughed openly.

Indeed, Carter is a businessman.

By cooperating with the Eastern Group, the Carter Family is also gaining considerable benefits, because in the next twenty years, the building materials provided by the Eastern Group to the Carter Family will be ten percent cheaper than what the Carter Family previously acquired.

Don’t underestimate that ten percent. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

When the quantity reaches a certain level, this ten percent becomes invaluable.

To put it bluntly, this is a mutually beneficial cooperation, even though it may seem that the Eastern Group is favored by the Carter Family...

The few people were exchanging pleasantries.

Suddenly, there was a disturbance at the entrance of the hall.

"Leng Qiuge? Oh my god, it’s Leng Qiuge from the Leng Family of Yan Country!"

"She actually came? Isn’t it rumored that she never attends parties unrelated to business? As far as I know, her business has nothing to do with us, right?"

"Don’t provoke her, I’ve heard that this woman is extremely vicious, cutting off people’s tongues at a whim. An unfortunate local who provoked her recently is still lying in the hospital!"

"..."

Eyes unanimously turned towards the entrance.

Especially Ye Xuan and Lin Tong, at this moment, their entire bodies were almost trembling.

Anxious, nervous, expectant, ecstatic.

Yet afraid.

Countless gazes converged like spotlights on the entrance to the hall.

Under these spotlights, a truly stunning figure finally appeared.

Standing close to 170 cm tall, accentuated by thin high heels, looking extremely elegant; her bare long legs are straight and smooth, seemingly capable of wringing out a handful of water.

With a round butt and full chest, long black hair, exquisitely beautiful face, under the light, it seemed she was cloaked in a holy glow, appearing alluring yet sacred.

There’s no doubt that this is a woman worthy of the title of a peerless beauty, whether in the Eastern or the Western world.

A true masterpiece!

However, despite being a true masterpiece, many of the men present merely glanced and hastily withdrew their gaze, feeling unsettled but calm.

Such an enticing beauty, if they could, they would never tire of looking for a lifetime.

But she is a Witch!

She has been in Barcelona for less than two months, and her infamous reputation has already spread throughout the city. No man wants to have any interaction with her.

Indeed, everyone present tonight is of high status.

But a wise man doesn’t suffer immediate losses. Who knows if this young witch from the Leng Family might not recognize anyone when she goes crazy? If she does something absurd, what’s the point in retaliating later?

Consequently, the originally pleasant atmosphere of the banquet was ruthlessly disrupted.

Carter looked helpless about this, as in fact, he had anticipated it.

For this reason, he initially did not plan to invite Leng Qiuge, but he couldn’t refuse since the Black Emperor’s wife had asked.

Rumor has it that this Leng Family witch has an affair with Mr. Black Emperor?

"Might as well go the extra mile and hold another banquet later."

Carter sighed secretly, believing that as a friend of the Black Emperor, it was necessary to seize this opportunity to do something within his power for him.

For instance, giving this pair of lovebirds a chance to reunite...

Carter’s face revealed a smile, very appropriate and enthusiastic.

"Oh! Beautiful Miss Lin, it’s my great honor to have your presence at my banquet tonight!" Carter enthusiastically walked towards Leng Qiuge.

The result.

Warm face met cold butt.

Almost before Carter reached her, Leng Qiuge turned and walked in another direction of the banquet, coldly arrogant, didn’t even glance at Carter.

Simply boundless arrogance!

Everyone was shocked.

Leng Qiuge, no matter how powerful the Leng Family is, it can’t be stronger than the Carter Family, right? Besides, this is Barcelona, aren’t you afraid of Carter’s wrath with such arrogance?

Carter, who was forced to stop mid-step, indeed had several moments where he wanted to get angry.

Leng Qiuge, don’t be overly arrogant as a Witch!

But on second thought, Carter endured.

Because she’s Black Emperor’s woman? Tonight, this banquet was originally held for the Black Emperor, and tolerating one moment of calm might prevent this couple from reconciling. If he gets angry tonight, it would be tantamount to breaking ties with the Black Emperor.

Not worth it.

Therefore, Carter could only laugh heartily: "Continue, everyone continue with the banquet, keep eating and drinking, don’t be courteous to me!"

Such an awkward feeling.

Though Carter’s awkwardness wasn’t the main focus, as aside from Leng Qiuge, everyone else present continued to uphold appearances, bracing themselves to continue the banquet, pretending like Leng Qiuge never attended, never took a seat at this party.

However, one thing remains quite evident.

Around where Leng Qiuge sat, within a dozen meters, apart from the hunched old man she brought, you couldn’t find a third person.

She was isolated.

To be precise, it’s that no one dared befriend her.

She just sat there on the soft sofa, arrogantly crossing her legs, not eating or drinking, remaining silent, her starlike eyes not looking at anyone.

As if everyone present were invisible, including Ye Xuan and his family.

This is very strange.

Since she doesn’t want to interact, what’s the point of coming to this banquet?

Perhaps, only Leng Feilong beside her might know...

As Ye Xuan and his wife looked at Leng Qiuge, both stood in shock, unable to recover for a long time.

Unfamiliar.

Seeing Leng Qiuge again, all they felt was unfamiliarity.

The once crazy, emotional, cunning little fairy seemed to have died, replaced by a cold, arrogant, vicious, and flamboyant ice-cold goddess.

"How did she become like this?"

Both were utterly stunned, hardly believing that within merely a few months, Leng Qiuge had changed so drastically.

If not seen with their own eyes, it’s hard to believe!

Ye Xuan tugged at the corner of his mouth, ready to walk towards Leng Qiuge.

But Lin Tong stopped him at this moment.
