Chapter 1292: Why Would He Bother About Me?

Quan Jingzhou successfully brought Quan Yan into the banquet hall after showing the security guard the invitation.

The decor in the hall was classic and grand. Extravagant but not vulgar. Famous people from all walks of life were gathered here, chatting with each other.

Quan Jingzhou’s gaze swept across the surroundings. He couldn’t help feeling shocked.

The status of all the guests here was extraordinary. If not for the Xuan Sect’s invitation, these people wouldn’t have gathered together.

Quan Jingzhou’s expression became even more eager now. He couldn’t wait to see that elder from the Xuan Sect as soon as possible and convince him on a collaboration.

Quan Jingzhou looked around impatiently.

However, he did not find the elder after searching for a long time. Instead, he followed everyone’s gazes and looked at the center of attention.

The young girl in the snow-white evening gown was like a fairy condensed from moonlight. She had light makeup on her face and her aura was ethereal and pleasant. One couldn’t look away from her. One couldn’t help sighing at the fact that there was actually such a perfect person in this world.

Quan Jingzhou looked at the girl, but his gaze darkened visibly.

It was because this young girl was none other than Chi Jiao!

Quan Jingzhou clenched his fists. Enduring his anger and pretending not to see her, he casually picked up a glass of champagne from the waiter’s tray and drank it in one go to suppress his anger.

Quan Jingzhou didn’t want to vent his anger on Chi Jiao because of Quan Jue. He felt this little girl wasn’t worthy of his attention.

Quan Yan wanted to make a move, but seeing that his father remained still, he had no choice but to endure his own anger.

Quan Yan had already disappointed his father too many times. Since Quan Jingzhou was willing to bring him to such an important banquet, he had to seize the opportunity.

“Daddy, let’s ignore Chi Jiao. The most important thing now is to rope in the Xuan Sect. When we do, neither the Chi family nor Quan Jue will be our match. It won’t be too late for us to take revenge then!” Quan Yan said calmly.

Quan Jingzhou finally didn’t look at Quan Yan with as much disdain as before. He nodded in agreement and smiled. “Alright, come with me to find your Uncle Zhuang first.”

Zhuang Fu was the third elder of the Xuan Sect and Quan Jingzhou’s university classmate back then. However, Zhuang Fu was a rather strange person when he was young. Being a rich young master, Quan Jingzhou never bothered to interact with Zhuang Fu. He even secretly made things difficult for him and told his lackeys to bully him.

However, when Quan Jingzhou attended a previous class gathering and learned that Zhuang Fu was a member of the Xuan Sect, he especially tried to get close to him. At that time, Zhuang Fu’s attitude towards him was quite gentle. As long as Quan Jingzhou took the initiative to ask, Zhuang Fu would probably be willing to agree out of respect.

Quan Jingzhou was determined to win. He ignored Chi Jiao and continued to search for Zhuang Fu.

After the father and son left, Chi Jiao finally glanced in their direction with a smile.

She had already noticed the two of them the moment they entered the hall. She just pretended to be oblivious as she wanted to see what they were up to.

The little heart’s voice sounded in Chi Jiao’s mind: “I thought that they would immediately rush over aggressively after spotting you. I didn’t expect them to leave. They’re so cowardly!”

“Quan Jingzhou’s heart is currently filled with the desire to work with the Xuan Sect. Why would he bother about me?” Chi Jiao’s cold smile deepened.
