The Consequence of Judging Others by Appearance

to be so observant.
He noticed that his sister-in-law was too happy to hear what Qi Yan said to her.
“It’s not a big problem, Third Mrs.
Cen just seemed to be a little insecure.
“

Cen Baihe thought for a moment,”I see.”

Although his sister-in-law came from a good family, compared to the Cen family, there was still quite a big difference.
The most important thing was that it was his sister-in-law who actively pursued his brother before they started dating, so after the two got married, some people gossiped that she was trying to go after the Cen family’s assets.

But of course,  the Cen family knew that she was a good person, so they did not care about the gossip.
It just didn’t occur to them that she actually cared about what others said.

“My brother should be blamed for this.
If he was more thoughtful, she would not have such thoughts.” Cen Baihe sighed, “I will talk to him when I go back.
Thank you, Qian Qian.
If it weren’t for you, there might be a deep misunderstanding between them.”

“As I already said, we are friends, don’t thank me,” Qi Yan teased, “But you are able to see things from a female’s perspective, it shows that you are a good man.
The future Mrs.
Cen is so lucky.”

“Mrs.
Cen?” Cen Baihe frowned and said lightly, “You think too far ahead.
As a Taoist priest, do you still think about having a wife and children?”

“My master and I are both ordinary people.
Although our practice originates from Taoism, we are not real Taoist priests and we don’t have any restrictions.” Qi Yan looked at the plate in front of him, “Life must be so boring without love.”

“So, do you have someone you like?” Cen Baihe squinted at Qi Yan, waiting for his answer.

“I’m still young,” Qi Yan raised his eyebrows, “You, a man who is about to enter his thirties, are not in a hurry, why should I?”

Cen Baihe, who was already twenty-nine, felt like slapping Qi Yan.
It’s a pity that someone interrupted their conversation which stopped him from doing so.

“Fifth Master Cen, Mr.
Qi,” Ruan Youyi, who was wearing a beautiful dress, stood at the table with a smile, “Do you mind if I sit?”

Qi Yan glanced at Cen Baihe, and seeing that he didn’t respond, he got up with a smile and pulled a chair for Ruan Youyi, “Miss Ruan, please take a seat.”

Ruan Youyi glanced at the two empty plates on the table, her red lips raised slightly, “Am I disturbing the two of you?” She looked at Cen Baihe who had a cold expression on his face, and her heart felt a little bitter.
Even after she took the initiative to talk to him, he didn’t even look at her, as though she was an irrelevant passerby.

“May I remove the plates for the two of you?” A waiter walked up to the three of them and bowed.

“Yes, please.
Thank you.”

The waiter was not paying attention when he removed the plates and some sauce on the plate dripped on Qi Yan’s coat, which shocked the waiter.
He wanted to help him wipe his coat, but he knew that it was too late.

“It’s okay,” Qi Yan smiled at the waiter, “Don’t worry about it.”

The waiter bowed to him a few more times before leaving.

“Sorry, I didn’t expect that to happen,” Cen Baihe took out his handkerchief, “I guess we’ll have to go back to clean it.”

“It’s not your fault.
Are you responsible for everyone’s actions just because your family booked the venue?” Qi Yan stretched out his arm and let Cen Baihe wipe his sleeves, “Fortunately, I picked a gray coat instead of a white one.”

Cen Baihe tried wiping a few times, but it couldn’t be wiped off, so he gave up.
He put away the handkerchief and laughed, “Is this fortunate?”

“Of course,” Qi Yan nodded solemnly, “Luck is relative.”

“Nonsense,” Cen Baihe shook his head and smiled, “I really don’t know how you came up with so many illogical statements.”

“It’s not illogical, it’s the crystallization of wisdom,” Qi Yan made a face and said, “I don’t usually impart it to ordinary people.”

Ruan Youyi silently watched Cen Baihe tease his friend, thinking that she knew too little about him.
She didn’t know that he would tease a friend like that, or that he would gently apologize and wipe his friend’s clothes.

The Fifth Master Cen in her mind was handsome, elegant, and indifferent.
She couldn’t imagine him joking around with others.
But Fifth Master Cen seemed to be more lively at the moment, and that made her think that whoever was loved by him must be so lucky.

There was a female celebrity who commented that whoever was with him would not be happy because he was unwell.
At that time, when she saw the comment, her whole body almost exploded with anger.
Later on, she put pressure on the celebrity’s boyfriend’s family, so that she would never have the chance to marry into a wealthy family.

If she dared to make negative remarks about a stranger’s identity and health, then she should be prepared for the consequences.

“Mr.
Qi, you don’t drink?” Ruan Youyi noticed that there was a glass of freshly squeezed juice in front of Qi Yan.

“I don’t like drinking.
Besides, I’m driving.” Qi Yan picked up the orange juice and clinked Ruan Youyi’s glass, “Miss Ruan, I hope you don’t mind.”

“Ah, so you drove here,” Ruan Youyi took a sip of champagne.
She smiled lightly, “Then it’s right not to drink.” On occasions like this, most people would end up drinking, so few people would drive themselves.

Mr.
Qi, whose identity was unknown, didn’t even know this?

“Qian Qian,” Cen Baihe said in an unusually cold tone, “It’s too sunny outside, let’s go in.”

“Why don’t we ask the waiter to open the parasol?” Ruan Youyi asked with a smile.

“No need,” Cen Baihe’s eyes swept across Ruan Youyi without a trace of emotion in his eyes, “I would like to introduce Qian Qian to a few people.”

“Oh,” Ruan Youyi smiled awkwardly, “Then I won’t disturb the two of you.”

Qi Yan followed Cen Baihe to the inner hall.
When he stepped on the steps, he turned back and glanced at Ruan Youyi.
She was sitting alone at the table, with a perfect posture like a goddess.

“What are you looking at?” Cen Baihe stopped and looked back at him.

“Nothing.” Qi Yan retracted his gaze, shook his head, and said casually, ” Miss Ruan is so beautiful.” 

Cen Baihe said blankly, “Really, I don’t see it.”

“People like you who don’t understand beauty are destined to be alone,” Qi Yan shook his head, “I won’t discuss aesthetics with you.”

Cen Baihe didn’t respond to him.
After entering the inner hall with Qi Yan, he took him to meet the heads of several important families, and made it clear to everyone that they had a good relationship and it was best not to make any rude gestures.

As for those who newly joined the upper class, Cen Baihe thought that Qi Yan could handle it himself.

“Dad, Baihe and Master Qi have indeed become good buddies,” First Master Cen said emotionally as he watched his younger brother spend almost the entire time with Master Qi, “He has never gotten along with me like that since he was a child.”

“Friends are not the same as brothers,” Cen Qiusheng’s face was a little red after he drank some wine which made him look cheerful, “But seeing him like this, I feel a lot more at ease.”

“Yeah…” FIrst Master Cen looked at his younger brother with a gentle expression.
He had not seen him so relaxed in a long time.

He hoped that Master Qi and Baihe would be friends for life, so that he didn’t have to worry about his brother’s health.

Qi Yan was talking to Cen Baihe when suddenly he felt eyes on him, he looked back suspiciously, and found that the waiter who had soiled his coat just now was peeking at him.

Seeing that he was looking at him, the waiter quickly left.

Qi Yan frowned, the waiter’s eyes didn’t seem to show guilt, but more like he was sizing him up.
