After the fake young master left home, he discovered that it wasn't raining at all outside.

The next morning, the usually quiet Zhu Family Manor was bustling with activity, with a constant stream of people coming and going.

Luxury cars drove in one after another.

The bodyguards responsible for security were on high alert.

Today, absolutely no mistakes are allowed.

The Zhu family went to great lengths to host this banquet, but they didn't specifically rent a banquet hall because there was already one in the manor that could accommodate 10,000 people.

Normally I wouldn't use it, but right now...

Hanging from the towering dome are several layers of dazzling crystal chandeliers, with thousands of crystals refracting starlight under the light.

The guests also attached great importance to this banquet, arriving early and now they are all gathered together, chatting with each other.

At this moment, Lin Shen was still waiting in front of the banquet room, but he did not go in to disturb them.

Lu Ze and Shen Yan went to the banquet hall to find their parents, leaving Xu Zhiyuan bored, so he wandered to the door of the banquet room.

"Isn't Ayan up yet?"

Xu Zhiyuan walked over and asked Lin Shen.

"Young Master is still asleep."

Judging from Lin Shen's expression, he didn't seem to intend to go in and wake Zhu Yan up.

"If you don't wake him up, this banquet will probably be a waste of time."

Xu Zhiyuan knew everything about the banquet; he wouldn't get up unless called.

"The patriarch instructed yesterday that if the young master wanted to sleep, he should be allowed to sleep a little longer." Lin Shen withdrew his gaze, straightened his posture, and continued:

"As for the guests outside, let them wait."

Xu Zhiyuan nodded.

It seems that the Zhu family head truly dotes on Xiao Yanyan.

Zhu Yan hadn't gotten up yet, so he gave up on the idea of ​​hanging out with him and turned to leave, but then he heard the bedroom door open.

Zhu Yan, dressed in a black silk nightgown, opened the door from the inside.

Surprisingly, there was no resentment in his eyes about getting up, nor was there any sleepiness.

Instead, he looked tired and exhausted.

"Young Master? You... got up so early?" Lin Shen stood blankly at the door, looking at the suddenly appearing Zhu Yan in disbelief.

Zhu Yan didn't speak, nor did he tell Lin Shen.

Actually, he wasn't asleep yet.

Since he pointed out the error in Zhu Qinrong's file, he received a barrage of messages from Zhu Qinrong and three other people last night.

Version after version was released.

They asked one question after another.

Zhu Yan was in a good mood last night. After answering all the questions, he went on to attend to his own business.

He lowered his head, buried himself in his work, then looked up again…

It was already seven o'clock in the morning of the second day.

"Get up early?" Xu Zhiyuan didn't believe it. "Little Yanyan, did you not sleep all night?"

Xu Zhiyuan looked like he had seen through everything.

"You think you're so smart?"

Zhu Yan glanced at him, telling him to shut up, and then went into the room.

"Young Master, you haven't rested? Why don't you get some sleep? You'll be very tired today." Lin Shen's brain completely shut down. The young master stayed up all night on such an important day?

Zhu Yan ignored him.

How tiring can it be?

Then a group of people followed into the bedroom. After Zhu Yan washed up, they helped her change her clothes and even did her hair.

Zhu Yan sat on the sofa, sinking into the velvet, her short, slightly parted hair falling across her forehead, creating a messy yet beautiful look.

The top-quality wool fabric, pressed against the body, now had a few lazy wrinkles, shimmering with a subtle, flowing sheen under the warm light of the floor lamp.

Xu Zhiyuan watched intently from the side.

This was the first time he had seen Zhu Yan wearing a suit.

If he usually dresses casually for banquets, exuding a carefree and unrestrained air, then now he looks like a pampered young master from a noble family, refined and elegant.

"Little Yanyan, cough... well, could you wear a suit more often in the future?" Xu Zhiyuan swallowed silently.

So handsome.

"I won't wear it." Zhu Yan doesn't like wearing suits at all; he prefers more youthful casual wear.

Ignoring Xu Zhiyuan's stunned gaze, he got up and prepared to go to the banquet hall ahead of time.

The banquet hall was so big that although it didn't feel crowded, it was hard to find anyone.

However, Zhu Yan was too handsome and dressed very elegantly. As soon as he entered, he attracted a lot of attention.

Shen Yan was talking to a young man when he was instantly drawn to Zhu Yan.

He simply left the person he was talking to, said "Excuse me," and headed towards the banquet.

"Brother Shen Yan!" Duan Qian finally managed to exchange a few words with Shen Yan, but was immediately drawn away by Zhu Yan's appearance.

"Who is he...? How dare he steal my Shen Yan brother the moment he appears!"

Duan Qian silently memorized Zhu Yan's appearance, preparing to embarrass him later and make him lose face in front of everyone.

According to the arrangement, he should be in the lounge now, and then appear after Zhu Mo finishes his announcement, and be invited directly to the stage.

But he didn't want to follow the rules and came to the banquet hall early to join in the fun.

He discovered that the people who came were all prominent figures in Beijing, and some of them were not even from H country.

"master."

Shen Yan walked over, greeted Zhu Yan, and completely ignored Duan Qian's furious shouts behind him.

He said he was just saying hello, but his eyes never left Zhu Yan.

He was also amazed by the celebratory banquet.

Even without makeup, her face at ordinary banquets is enough to captivate everyone.

Now that she's dressed up like this, Shen Yan can't bear to look away.

"Hey, Shen Yan, your father was just looking for you." Xu Zhiyuan noticed that Shen Yan was lost in thought and became somewhat displeased, so he deliberately sent Shen Yan away.

I wish Xiaoyanyan was only for me to watch.

I really want to hide him away.

φ(-ω-*)

Shen Yan looked at Xu Zhiyuan with a mixture of belief and doubt.

He was quite convincing at it, his expression was very serious.

Shen Yanzhen believed it.

After saying goodbye to the banquet, I left first.

Zhu Yan, with his striking appearance, took a glass of red wine and led Xu Zhiyuan to sit on a sofa in the corner of the banquet hall, where he secretly observed them.

"You little slut, how dare you seduce my brother Shen Yan?" Duan Qian noticed that Shen Yan had left, and followed Zhu Yan to the sofa.

Banquet:?

What did he just say?

Did he seduce Shen Yan?

Is it absurd or ridiculous?

"If you have eye problems, go get them treated. How could Xiao Yanyan possibly be interested in that guy Shen Yan? Does he even deserve him?"

Xu Zhiyuan didn't even need Zhu Yan to intervene; he immediately retorted with a curse upon hearing Duan Qian's words.

Hearing Xu Zhiyuan insult his brother Shen Yan, Duan Qian was also displeased. "Who do you think you are? Brother Shen Yan is the heir of the Shen family, the head of the four great families in the capital. How dare you insult him?"

"Oh, so you're the heir to the Shen family." Xu Zhiyuan repeated, mimicking Duan Qian's tone.

With his final glance, he looked at Duan Qian with disdain. "That's it?"

Xu Zhiyuan simply adheres to the principle of infuriating people to death; wherever he goes, he infuriates them.

Duan Qian was so angry that he couldn't speak.

"Are you saying I seduced Shen Yan?"

Zhu Yan, who was sitting on the sofa, finally spoke.

"Isn't that right? Brother Shen Yan has been staring at you the whole time, and you little bitch have stolen his attention! That clearly belongs to me!" Duan Qian stared at Zhu Yan with a vicious look, her eyes full of anger.

Zhu Yan looked past Duan Qian and saw Shen Yan rushing towards him from behind.

Shen Yan seemed to have discovered that Xu Zhiyuan, that bastard, had lied to him. He put on a long face, his eyes unfriendly, and stared at Xu Zhiyuan as he walked towards him step by step.

"Shen Yan, come here." Zhu Yan called out to Shen Yan, drawing his attention.

"Brother Shen Yan!" Duan Qian's eyes lit up when he saw Shen Yan.

But his brother Shen Yan didn't even glance at him, and obediently walked over upon hearing Zhu Yan's command.

"host……"

"Bring the fruit platter."

Zhu Yan deliberately interrupted Shen Yan and took the opportunity to order him to carry the fruit platter.

Shen Yan didn't question it. After hearing Zhu Yan's words, he turned around and went to the long table to get a fruit plate.

Then, to Duan Qian's astonishment, it was presented to Zhu Yan.

Feed me.

Zhu Yanhua was speaking to Shen Yan, but his eyes were fixed on Duan Qian, who was standing there in a daze, and a faint smile was on his lips.

Didn't they say he seduced Shen Yan?

Let the banquet show him just how powerful his brother Shen Yan really is in front of him…

Be more obedient.
