Mr. Yan, wake up! Your wife isn't a delicate little flower.

"What are you looking at? Follow us!"

Qin Jian noticed that Cheng Xihe was distracted and whispered a reminder.

"oh."

Cheng Xihe followed behind Qin Jian with a cold face.

Those present today are all from well-known wealthy families across the country, and many brought their children.

However, even among the same wealthy families, there are still different social circles.

When a group of people who don't know each other well get together, and someone makes the connection, they exchange information over drinks and become friends.

Cheng Xihe followed behind them without changing his expression, watching Zhang Zhiyue link arms with Qin Jian and chat with everyone with a smile.

"Is this your first time visiting a place like this?"

Just as Cheng Xihe was scanning everyone's faces and recording information, Qin Ruosu's smug voice came from the side.

Qin Yebai heard this and the person moved far away, almost out of their sight.

Cheng Xihe scoffed, her distant eyes fixed on Qin Ruosu: "Yes, are you going to introduce me to your friends?"

Her smile froze on her face, and Qin Ruosu retorted without thinking, "Why should I take you to meet my friends!"

"Then what are you showing off?" Cheng Xihe casually pointed to a man not far away: "Do you know that handsome guy over there?"

Qin Ruosu looked up and, realizing she didn't recognize him, said with displeasure, "Do you think you know him?"

"Of course I know him. He's the young master of the Bai family. He's many times richer than Su Wenjie. They're not even in the same league."

Cheng Xihe raised an eyebrow: "Before we came, Qin Jian introduced them to me. Didn't he tell you about these high-quality men?"

Cheng Xihe originally couldn't be bothered to pay any attention to Qin Ruosu.

It's all because she always provokes me for no reason, which is why I casually say provocative things.

"You, you can't try to sow discord between me and my father."

Qin Ruosu composed herself and gave a light snort: "Brother Su and I are doing just fine, I won't be fooled by your sweet talk."

"Whatever you like." Cheng Xihe didn't say anything more and followed Zhang Zhiyue and the others.

Seeing this, Qin Yebai quickened his pace, kicking his legs to try and get further away from Cheng Xihe.

"Ye Bai, what's wrong with you? Why are you walking so fast? Slow down!" Qin Jian called out to Qin Ye Bai as he saw that Qin Ye Bai was about to overtake him.

Qin Yebai originally intended to attend today's banquet for leisure.

As a result, after he learned that Cheng Xihe was coming, he absolutely refused to come.

Qin Jian had to forcibly bring him over.

Qin Yebai stopped and changed direction, walking to Qin Jian's right, the furthest position from Cheng Xihe.

"Don't run around, you're going to play with your friends later!"

Zhang Zhiyue said something, glanced at Cheng Xihe who was following behind with a cold face, and sighed slightly.

"Mrs. Qin, you've arrived too!"

Just as they were looking for someone to chat with, a richly dressed lady walked over and said, "Hello, Mr. Qin."

"Hello Mrs. Wang, I was just about to go and chat with Mr. Wang. Why don't you talk to Zhiyue instead?"

Qin Jian exchanged a few pleasantries with her and then prepared to leave.

Zhang Zhiyue went up to them with a smile: "Oh, Mrs. Wang, where are you? I didn't see you at first."

"We're all in the small rest area, why don't you come over and join us?" Mrs. Wang warmly invited Zhang Zhiyue.

Zhang Zhiyue chuckled, "Then I'll have to go over and join in the fun now."

"good!"

Turning to Qin Jian, Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "Old Wang is over there, chatting with Chairman Guan of 'Shilin'. Mr. Qin, please make yourself at home."

Qin Jian nodded: "Okay."

"I'm going with Mom!" Qin Yebai ran off before anyone could say anything, catching up with Zhang Zhiyue.

Qin Jian turned to look at Qin Ruosu and Cheng Xihe: "In that case, you two can come with me to meet those distinguished guests."

"Wait, no, that won't do."

Qin Ruosu refused without hesitation: "Dad, I just saw Brother Wenjie."

I went to say hello to him, and then we walked around together.

"Um."

Since they had already encountered Su Wenjie, Qin Jian had no reason to keep her there, so he could only agree.

Upon hearing this, Qin Ruosu was overjoyed.

She glanced at Cheng Xihe, gave a soft snort, and turned to leave.

"And now? Am I still following you?" Cheng Xihe lazily caught up with Qin Jian.

She looked at all these people; they were all middle-aged men, chatting about current affairs and policies, and where to go for fun.

The young people formed a small group, not far away.

At this moment, Cheng Xihe felt the gaze upon him.

She looked up and saw Qin Ruosu not far away, arm in arm with Su Wenjie, smiling at him.

There were several other people over there, and quite a few people were looking this way.

Cheng Xihe frowned, her gaze calm as she looked back.

Then the people over there burst into laughter, saying something to each other.

Turning his gaze away, Cheng Xihe followed Qin Jian's steps.

The banquet hall was brightly lit, filled with the aromas of champagne and perfume.

Cheng Xihe observed the expressions on the faces of everyone who passed by.

"Focus."

Noticing that Cheng Xihe had slowed down, Qin Jian whispered a reminder.

"Um."

About five meters away, a group of people were chatting together, each with a smile on their face.

The man in the very center is around fifty years old. His features show the marks of time, but you can still see the handsomeness he had in his youth.

His hair was neatly combed, and his face carried the arrogance and aloofness of someone who had long held a high position.

The people around him looked at him with admiring smiles.

Cheng Xihe looked him over.

The man was wearing a dark blue suit and a striped tie. His tall figure was perfectly outlined by the well-tailored suit.

He didn't respond enthusiastically to everyone's smiles, but simply nodded coldly, seemingly not moving the wine glass in his hand.

Most importantly, the man was quite tall and had a great physique, making him stand out among a group of overweight CEOs.

Frowning, Cheng Xihe felt that the person looked familiar.

"Let's wait and go over there."

Qin Jian stopped Cheng Xihe, who was still in a daze and about to walk forward.

Seeing that Cheng Xihe didn't react, Qin Jian glanced at her and said, "What's wrong with you tonight? You've been spacing out the whole time."

"It's nothing."

Cheng Xihe raised an eyebrow: "Why did you stop walking?"

Qin Jian introduced, "The person in the very center over there is the current chairman of the Yan family, President Yan."

He doesn't like talking to people he doesn't know well. Old Wang was really lucky to be taken there by Chairman Guan.

As an outsider, it was not appropriate for Qin Jian to go up and talk to them at this time.

Cheng Xihe said knowingly, "Oh, not big enough."

"you!"

Qin Jian's anger flared up instantly.

Before she could recover, Cheng Xihe said again, "Didn't you want me to meet Yan Mingchuan?"

"You don't even know his father, how am I supposed to get to know him?"

"What do you know!"
