Chapter 1941: Chapter 1939: Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin (2)
"There’s no such thing as fairness in the world, why do you have to compare yourself to her? Compare yourself to those ordinary people, some are impoverished, some can only set up stalls on the street. Compared to them, we are happy..."
These words were spoken by a chubby, round-faced girl, who seemed to be in college.
The person next to her pursed their lips but said nothing.
This girl was from Elder Shen’s family, so they had to keep their opinions to themselves.
But what does it matter if they compare or not, who else can stand beside Qin Yize except for Gu Qiaoqiao? Even if that were the case, those two children weren’t born by her.
The celebration banquet was very lively, Elder Shen was also here, along with some other key figures from various sectors.
For Qin Yize, the release of the product was already planned, the timing was predetermined, and the reactions from all sectors were within his expectations. So he seemed calm and composed, which made him even more attractive, especially now as he aged, his overall aura was unmatched.
Thus, Gu Qiaoqiao, standing beside him, received all sorts of gazes, some kind, jealous, and others filled with malice and murderous intent.
Gu Qiaoqiao could understand those with malicious intentions, hoping for her downfall, waiting for her to fall from the clouds, but who was the one revealing murder intent?
Gu Qiaoqiao quietly scanned the bustling banquet hall; there were easily more than a hundred people here today.
Although there were many people, they were carefully selected and had invitations; not just anyone could attend. Moreover, the security facilities inside and outside this banquet were top-notch in the country, after all, many bigwigs were also attending today.
So, did an assassin get in?
Gu Qiaoqiao furrowed her brows momentarily, then discreetly set up a Barrier Talisman for Qin Yize and the two children.
Better be safe than sorry.
Of course, it was impossible to apply an Invisibility Talisman, but this Barrier Talisman was a new type of barrier talisman that Gu Qiaoqiao had been researching over the past week.
She perfectly integrated this Barrier Talisman with the Ice Arrow Talisman.
You could describe it as a bubble of spiritual energy wrapping around a person, moving with them, able to block external attacks. It’s not an exaggeration to say that it could even block bullets for a while.
Of course, in such a banquet hall, weapons are impossible to have unless that person, like her, has Portable Space.
When an external attack occurs, this bubble of spiritual energy will instantly condense its surface into an ice sword talisman, and strike at the attacker.
It’s basically a comprehensive defense and attack charm.
Unless someone dozens of times more cultivated than Uncle comes along, even a foreign entity like Yun Duo cannot see the Barrier Talisman applied to them.
The only pity is that this Barrier Talisman can only last twenty-four hours.
The time is still a bit short, it would be great if it could last a year like when applied to objects.
Gu Qiaoqiao is still diligently studying and pondering, after all, even if she doesn’t want to take this path, she somehow circles back to the starting point, somethings just can’t be avoided, according to the information from the Soul Mentor, it’s supposed to be that like attracts like.
That is to say, since she is a person from the Mystic Sect, things and matters related to the Mystic Sect will naturally continue to appear around her.
Gu Qiaoqiao saw the ever-handsome Nie Luan, the head of Archive Room No.1, in the banquet hall. She found that his aura was beyond her comprehension.
It’s been a long time since Gu Qiaoqiao saw him, and it’s normal for him to appear here.
However, Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t feel any malice or murderous intent from him, so she locked her gaze on the middle of a group of women and unsurprisingly saw Choo Lan.
In the next moment, Gu Qiaoqiao was a hundred percent sure; this murderous intent was emanating from Choo Lan.
It’s not surprising, for Choo Lan, just like before with Lin Qinghuan, couldn’t wait for her to die quickly to make room for them. But why didn’t they think, did Qin Yize pay attention to them when Gu Qiaoqiao wasn’t around?
At that time, Qin Yize also ignored them, so even if she died, the place beside Qin Yize, even if vacant, would not be theirs; it was destined to be futile.
Moreover, Choo Lan is a few levels below Lin Qinghuan, some things she doesn’t hide at all. Luckily, she can see the black skull aura above her head, and then have Qin Yize tell Shen Manru, so that when Choo Lan goes to see her, she must be careful.
As for kicking Choo Lan out, currently, this is impossible, after all, she is the daughter of their old classmate.
If Shen Manru did such a thing, then she would be criticized by those old classmates.
After all, Choo Lan hasn’t done anything yet.
However, since Choo Lan returned to the country, she has been very busy and hasn’t visited the Qin Family Old Residence.
At that time, she didn’t know Qin Yize was about to launch a new product, and a new technology she partnered with abroad was about to be released. She even took pride in getting a share of it, thinking that after Choo Corporation, perhaps they could also stand at the peak of the world.
But who would have thought, Qin Yize launched a product that overshadowed theirs. Once their product comes out, it would be meaningless.
But since so much has been invested, withdrawing is also impossible, they can only continue with a tough attitude.
So for Choo Lan, her mood is certainly not pleasant.
Of course, Qin Yize told Gu Qiaoqiao all this information.
Know yourself, know your enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without defeat.
In addition to her heartfelt jealousy towards Gu Qiaoqiao, such a Choo Lan is very easy to understand.
Gu Qiaoqiao took in her expression, discreetly curved her lips, and nonchalantly moved her gaze away.
The current Choo Lan is not to be feared, but she can’t passively wait for Choo Lan to strike. Her next goal is to research a talisman to break the black skull malevolent energy above Choo Lan’s head. If this thing is gone, perhaps Choo Lan might act more normally, but specifics can only be known after it’s done, after all, Gu Qiaoqiao currently doesn’t know what the black skull on top of Choo Lan’s head signifies.
The celebration banquet was equally successful.
Qin Yize had a bit to drink that night, and the Qin Family’s driver drove them back to the Qin Family’s Courtyard.
After coaxing the two children to sleep, Qin Yize, fueled by the alcohol, pulled Gu Qiaoqiao into his embrace, their foreheads touching, his voice as gentle as water, "Qiaoqiao, I once swore to make you the happiest and proudest woman in the world, I think today I’ve achieved that, but I will continue to strive, to give you and the children a better life."
Gu Qiaoqiao reached out, playfully pinching Qin Yize’s cheek, "Life is already good enough now. I’m very happy and very satisfied, it’s not just ’seems like,’ you’ve really done it."
