Chapter 1245: Past Life (3)

“Yeah, that’s true. The Zhai family is becoming weaker by the day. In the past, they could at least hold up against the Qin family. However nowadays, under Qin Chuan’s leadership, the Qin family business is flourishing. On the other hand, the Zhai family has been taking backward steps. The difference between the two families is growing bigger and bigger.”

“I wonder if things will change with Master Sheng’s health recovering.”

“Well, I feel like his fiancee might help the Zhai family grow stronger. Didn’t you hear about it? After Jian Yiling’s identity got revealed, the Jian family shares rose significantly.”

As some people whispered to one another whilst others observed in silence, there were a few people who came up to say hello to Zhai Yunsheng and Jian Yiling.

Despite this, it was evident that the prestige of the Zhai family was far from what it used to be.

From everyone’s attitudes and reactions, it could be deduced that the Zhai family’s power and influence declined significantly over the past two years.

A while later, Mo Shiyun appeared in the main hall with Qin Chuan. Her arm was wrapped around his.

The two of them were incredibly eye-catching.

Jian Yiling also followed everyone else’s gaze to look at Mo Shiyun.

Similarly, Mo Shiyun also saw Jian Yiling almost immediately.

However, their gaze only met for just a second. Very quickly, Mo Shiyun withdrew her gaze to smile at Qin Chuan: “Thank you for preparing such a beautiful birthday party for me. This is the best and happiest birthday I’ve ever had.”

Qin Chuan’s response was rather cold as he said: “It’s good that you like it. Come with me and let’s say hello to Young Master Zhai and Miss Jian.”

Then, Qin Chuan led Mo Shiyun over there.

After hearing Qin Chuan’s words, Mo Shiyun felt a little uncomfortable.

However, she did not dare to disobey Qin Chuan. And thus, she stiffly walked over to Jian Yiling and Zhai Yunsheng.

When Zhai Yunsheng saw Qin Chuan and Mo Shiyun, a sneer appeared on his face.

“I remember many years ago in Hengyuan City, the four of us also saw one another in such a setting. I didn’t expect five years to pass by in a flash,” Qin Chuan said.

Zhai Yunsheng lazily replied: “Well, during these five years, someone’s status and power in society has grown. However, their taste has become worse.”

Master Sheng was the same as always. He was arrogant and said whatever he wanted. Similar to in the past, he didn’t care about the Qin family at all.

In front of many other guests, Zhai Yunsheng dared to insult Qin Chuan’s girlfriend.

Upon hearing this comment, Mo Shiyun lowered her head and did not say a word.

In the face of ridicule, she swallowed her anger.

Everyone else around them felt rather nervous. They felt that the atmosphere was not quite right. They were worried that Qin Chuan would become mad at any second.

After all, a normal man would not stand his girlfriend being mocked by someone, let alone the head of the Qin family.

To everyone’s surprise, Qin Chuan was silent for a moment. He did not lose his temper.

Then, he turned around and asked Jian Yiling: “Do you like it?”

He was asking Jian Yiling whether she liked the birthday party he hosted for Mo Shiyun. Qin Chuan’s question was rather strange.

Mo Shiyun’s birthday party today was the exact same as the one in their previous lives. Even the diamond necklace on Mo Shiyun’s neck was the same.

Naturally, Jian Yiling remembered this. In her past life, she fought Mo Shiyun for that necklace.

In that auction, Jian Yiling tried to win the bid for that necklace. But in the end, she lost the bid. Then, Qin Chuan gifted the necklace to Mo Shiyun for her birthday present.

Qin Chuan was using his actions to tell her that he now knew about what happened in their past lives.

He knew that she was once obsessed with him.

“There’s no need for me to like it,” Jian Yiling responded.

The question Qin Chuan asked Jian Yiling made Mo Shiyun uncomfortably nervous.

She raised her eyes to look at Qin Chuan. At the same time, her grasp on Qin Chuan’s arm couldn’t help but tighten.
