It is said that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.
To Xu Xia, Leng Zirui looks pleasing no matter how she sees him. Although "Mr. ROY" in front of her clearly has a face almost identical to Leng Zirui’s, in Xu Xia’s eyes, he is already completely worthless.
Of course, Xu Xia is unwilling to criticize the parts that are similar to Leng Zirui, so she focuses on his eyes and hair color that differ from Leng Zirui’s.
As everyone walks up to the podium, noticing Xu Xia glancing at him sideways, Leng Zirui just turns slightly and gives her a mischievous smile.
No need to guess; this girl is surely cursing me in her heart right now?
He chuckles to himself.
Noticing the smile Leng Zirui gives her, Xu Xia rolls her eyes at him in return.
This bastard, how dare he have a face similar to her husband’s, truly heaven is blind!
The exchange between the two is noticeable to others, including Lei Wenting.
Lei Qingqing and Lei Wenting have long seen Leng Zirui’s "flirtatiousness". Seeing him show interest in Xu Xia doesn’t surprise them, but Shangguan Feng, standing nearby, furrows his brows slightly.
Quickly stepping forward, Shangguan Feng joins Xu Xia’s side and politely says, "Miss Xu, please stand next to me."
"Alright!"
While Xu Xia also doesn’t like Shangguan Feng, comparatively, she finds him less annoying than ROY.
"That won’t do, Miss Xu is a VIP today; two beauties should stand together." Leng Zirui steps diagonally forward, inserting himself between the two, casually wraps his arm around Xu Xia’s waist, placing her between himself and Lei Qingqing.
After all, she is his wife. Leng Zirui has no intention of pretending like he does with other women, confidently resting his palm on Xu Xia’s slender waist.
Below the stage, countless guests have already arrived, and reporters are pressing the shutters. Considering her image, Xu Xia refrains from confronting him; instead, she faces the camera with a smile, and one hand extends behind her to push away someone’s wandering hand.
At this moment, the host walks onto the podium and smiles as he speaks, "Thank you all for coming. Now, let’s welcome Mr. Lei Wenting, the chairman of Lei Group, to give the opening remarks!"
Below the stage, everyone immediately applauds.
Lei Qingqing promptly supports Lei Wenting as he walks up to the main stage. Lei Wenting smiles and surveys the crowd, clasping his hands in thanks, "First, I need to express my gratitude to everyone for supporting Qingqing. I’m already old. The future belongs to the younger generation. Qingqing is still young and asks for your guidance in the future."
Lei Wenting speaks briefly, then hands the microphone over to Lei Qingqing, before stepping down from the stage.
"I am honored that my godfather trusts me to manage Lais Hotel. From acquiring the land early last year to the preparation and construction of the hotel... I have personally overseen everything... Not only does Lais Hotel offer all the services of a five-star hotel, but it also has a unique Rooftop Casino, which will be freely accessible to everyone tonight. Each visitor to the casino will receive a gift of 10,000 US Dollars in chips."
The crowd below lightly gasps.
A gift of 10,000 US Dollars per person—Lei’s move is indeed a grand gesture!
Seeing the awe in the eyes of the audience below, Lei Qingqing’s eyes flash with a touch of pride, "I hope everyone has good luck tonight. Next, I’d like to invite several guests to go upstairs and join me for the ribbon-cutting."
