Chapter 160 Her undisguised preference!

To be honest, if the Yan family had not fallen into decline, Yan Shaoyu would be the golden signboard among this group of educated youth.

Before their fall, the Yan family was extremely prosperous and glorious, and even the Song family had to stay away from them.

The Yan family in Beijing was one of the most prominent families before the new society.

Yan Shaoyu's grandfather experienced the old democratic period, the new democratic period, the socialist period and the construction period. During this period, he was on par with many great figures and was a giant who kept pace with the times.

Yan Shaoyu's father, Yan Shouzhi, was also a powerful and glorious man. He served as a military commander and had tremendous power.

The Yan family has been prosperous from generation to generation. Apart from Yan Shaoyu, who is the most powerful branch, his uncles, aunts and uncles are also extraordinary people. This has led to the Yan family's influence being intertwined and complex, like a behemoth.

However, such a prosperous family fell into decline.

Cui Hejie felt sad and couldn't help but feel a bit of "sympathy" and a slight sense of superiority towards Yan Shaoyu.

For someone like him who came from a small place, his biggest wish in life was to become a dragon when he encountered good fortune. Now the road to success is within reach, while the son of a top official who once lived high above others can only waste time here and may never be able to return to Beijing again.

This kind of difference really makes people's hearts boil, and they always think it would be better if they could step on him a few more times.

Cui Hejie chuckled and quickly suppressed his thoughts.

Song Jinan pursed her lips and said, "No need to ask, I paid Shaoyu's share."

He and Yan Shaoyu were brothers, so he naturally knew what the Yan family's situation was like after their decline. They went to him in a big way to ask if he had paid for the food, which was a disguised humiliation. Huang Sheng didn't understand, but he did.

As soon as Song Jinan finished speaking, Huang Sheng said unhappily, "Fifth Brother!"

Pan Ruoyin raised his eyelids and glanced at Huang Sheng. "My cousin is willing to be generous, so why do you care so much? Okay, let's do it. Guide Cui, please tell the branch secretary to help find two people to come and cook."

Cui Hejie smiled and nodded, clearly showing his "good guy" attitude.

At this time, someone asked: "What about the blue sky?"

Pan Ruoyin was a little annoyed: "She's gone, what else can I do? Don't worry about her."

The Lantian family has also fallen on hard times, and is even worse off than the once powerful Yan family. Even if the monthly food expenses are only a few yuan, she cannot afford it, and no one here is willing to pay her that much.

Song Jinan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Forget it, one copy is fine, two copies are fine, I've also paid for Lan Tian."

Pan Ruoyin gave Song Jinan a complicated look and said, "Cousin, you are such a pushover."

Perhaps, it would be more appropriate to describe it as a sucker.

Song Jinan said in a deep voice: "We are all partners and friends who came from the capital together. No matter what happens now, we grew up together. This place is different from the capital. I hope everyone can unite and not try to split us up."

As soon as he said this, the surroundings became unusually quiet.

Gu Yuehuai listened to the whole story from beginning to end, pursing her red lips, not knowing what to feel. However, Yan Shaoyu was afraid that Song Jinan's self-proclaimed good intentions would not be accepted.

Thinking of this, she looked up behind the educated youth. There, the young man was leaning against the door, and she didn't know how long he had been standing there.

Yan Shaoyu raised his eyebrows and smiled softly, "Song Jinan, you don't have to pay for my share."

There was no displeasure or sarcasm in his deep eyes, but anyone could see that he didn't care. It was obvious that Song Jinan's self-proclaimed thoughtfulness and kindness were not needed by Yan Shaoyu.

"Shao Yu, you..." Song Jinan's lips moved, his expression a little complicated.

Of course he understood Yan Shaoyu, otherwise he would not have decided to pay for him privately.

Song Jinan took a few steps forward, approached Yan Shaoyu, and lowered his voice and said, "I'm afraid Shaoyang and Shaoli are having a hard time over there. We grew up together, and you'll always help me if you can. Why do you have to be so distant with me?"

When talking about his brother and sister-in-law, the smile on Yan Shaoyu's face faded slightly, and his eyes were so gloomy that it made people feel uneasy.

The person Huang Sheng couldn't stand the most was Yan Shaoyu. Seeing him pretending to refuse, he couldn't help but sneer: "Haha, if you don't have money, then you don't have money. Why are you pretending to be so high and mighty? Fifth brother is kind-hearted, but you really don't know what's good for you."

Yan Shaoyu glanced back with a stern look in his eyes, which made Huang Sheng shudder and straighten his back.

He was shocked, and when he came to his senses, he was furious. Just as he was about to open his mouth to save some ground, he suddenly heard a clear and pleasant female voice: "Yan Zhiqing, Sixth Uncle said that you were injured and you should take good care of yourself. Here, chicken noodle soup. You're welcome."

Everyone was silent, watching the slender Gu Yuehuai walk through the crowd and hand the aluminum lunch box in her net bag to Yan Shaoyu. As she walked by, they could even smell the faint aroma of chicken soup.

Yan Shaoyu was also stunned for a moment, looking at Gu Yuehuai who walked straight towards her through the crowd.

Her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, and her eyes were dark, as if only he was reflected in her eyes.

At this moment, Yan Shaoyu's heartbeat suddenly quickened.

He couldn't think of how to describe the feeling at the moment. He only knew that when he was stared at by those bright and lively eyes, he wanted to reach out and cover her eyes, as if only in this way could his heartbeat calm down faster.

It wasn't until a heavy net bag was stuffed into his hands that Yan Shaoyu came to his senses.

His eyelids drooped slightly, and for a moment he didn't know how to deal with the current situation.

Song Jinan also came to his senses from his surprise. He looked at Gu Yuehuai with complicated eyes. She was not petite, but standing next to the tall and straight Yan Shaoyu, she looked like a little bird. The two of them standing together looked indescribably well-matched.

He suddenly felt unhappy, as if someone was coveting his things.

Many educated youth also came to their senses at this time and looked at Gu Yuehuai as if he were a madman.

If everyone didn't understand Gu Yuehuai's thoughts at first, now that she was casually bringing the prepared meal to Yan Shaoyu, they more or less understood it. Such undisguised preference was truly bold!

Huang Sheng was so angry that he gritted his teeth and said, "I was wondering why you, a country girl, were targeting me for no reason. So you're attracted to Yan Shaoyu? Haha, you have good taste. But, it's a pity. If you want him to take you back to the capital, then I advise you not to think about it. He may not be able to leave here in his lifetime!"

"You don't know yet, right? Yan Shaoyu has nothing left except a good-looking appearance and a family to burden him."

"His family has fallen on hard times. He's not the high-ranking official's son as you thought! Gu Yuehuai, you made a wrong calculation. You picked the wrong person! Hahahaha, you idiot!"

Huang Sheng's voice was quite loud, and to the ears of the educated youth, it was another round of overwhelming laughter.

Pan Ruoyin's originally tense mood also relaxed amidst the laughter.

She looked at Gu Yuehuai coldly, thinking about the next moment when her face would change drastically and she would look full of regret.
