The Side Story of Shang Yanxing.

On Shang Yanxing's fifteenth birthday, Shang Mengzhou and Xie Wanjun held a grand birthday banquet for him.

Many people attended the banquet; they were all well-known businessmen and dignitaries from City A.

It was supposed to be Shang Yanxing's birthday banquet, but he didn't seem to be the main character.

He didn't know any of these guests, and they wouldn't have any interaction with a child as old as him.

Watching his parents greet them, he felt as if this banquet had little to do with him.

It was just a birthday party held in his name.

He didn't even have any friends.

He was only fifteen years old, and there really wasn't much for him to talk about with these guests. After all, at his age, he was just a student who had just graduated from junior high school.

What he really wanted was to celebrate his birthday with his peers or with his parents, rather than having a grand birthday party like this.

However, he couldn't change his parents' decision.

Xie Wanjun and Shang Mengzhou told Shang Yanxing that he should be responsible and support their whole family, instead of only thinking about himself.

So he had no choice but to go along with their wishes.

Perhaps this birthday party was just a gathering for them.

On the other side, Shen Shiyan brought Jiang Susu to the banquet.

The two of them looked around nervously, as if they were afraid of being discovered.

Seeing such a grand banquet, Jiang Susu was a little scared. "Brother Shiyan, are we sure we won't be discovered? If our uncles and aunts find out, will they scold us?"

Shen Shiyan patted Jiang Susu's head and comforted her, "Don't worry, Susu, we won't be found out. With your brother here, Susu, don't be afraid. I'll take you to eat something delicious in a little while."

Shen Shiyan's parents also came to the banquet, so Shen Shiyan came along as well.

But Jiang Susu's parents weren't home; something came up and they couldn't come, so she wasn't supposed to be here.

But Shen Shiyan said he would take her here to eat something delicious, and she couldn't resist the temptation of the food, so she came along.

As for whose birthday party it was, she wasn't really sure; she just thought it would be fun, so she came.

Jiang Susu stayed close to Shen Shiyan the whole time, always behaving herself and never daring to run around.

Shen Shiyan led Jiang Susu to the cake section, picked up a mousse cake and handed it to Jiang Susu, saying, "Little sister, eat this. This is your favorite little cake."

Jiang Susu smiled and accepted the cake. "Thank you, Brother Shiyan."

"You're welcome."

Seeing Jiang Susu eating happily, Shen Shiyan was also very happy.

The two little ones stayed there and didn't run around.

"Brother Shiyan, I want to drink water." Perhaps because she was thirsty from eating cake, Jiang Susu felt like drinking water.

Shen Shiyan looked around and saw no juice or anything like that.

"I'll go get it for you. You wait here for me and don't wander off, okay?"

Shen Shiyan was afraid that if he turned around, Jiang Susu would disappear.

"Okay, I understand. Don't worry, Brother Shiyan, I won't run around. I'll stay here obediently and wait for you to come back," Jiang Susu promised Shen Shiyan.

Shen Shiyan patted Jiang Susu's head. "Good girl, then brother will go get you some water."

After saying that, Shen Shiyan left to find water for Jiang Su.

Jiang Susu stayed there alone, very well-behaved, and didn't run around, just waiting for Chen Shiyan to come back.

As Shang Yanxing passed by the cake section, he saw Jiang Susu alone there.

There wasn't a single adult around, just a little girl standing there.

Shang Yan walked over and asked, "Little sister, what's your name? Why are you here all alone?"

The sudden sound behind her startled Jiang Susu, and she immediately froze.

Could it be that someone else found out?

If she gets caught, she'll probably get a scolding when she gets back.

Thinking Jiang Susu hadn't heard him, Shang Yanxing asked again, "Little sister, are you lost? Can't you find your parents?"

He felt that the little girl was a bit strange and didn't understand why she was standing there alone.

Jiang Susu slowly turned around and looked at Shang Yanxing. "No... I didn't get lost. I was waiting for my brother. My brother went to get me some water."

The moment Jiang Susu turned around, Shang Yanxing was stunned.

That soft, white, and adorable face made him wish he could have a cute little sister like that too.

"Can you tell me your name? I can get you some water."

He knew where the water was, but he also wanted to know her name.

Jiang Susu slowly spoke, "Ying... Yingying, my name is Yingying." She said her nickname.

Because she was afraid of being told to her parents, she used her nickname.

Only her closest friends and family call her by this nickname; most other people don't know it.

After learning Jiang Susu's name, Shang Yanxing was very happy. "Then I'll go get you some water. Wait here for me for a while."

Jiang Susu nodded obediently and hummed in agreement.

Shang Yanxing turned around and jogged to get water for Jiang Susu.

Not long after Shang Yanxing left, Shen Shiyan returned, handing Jiang Susu a glass of water.

"My little sister is so good, she didn't run around."

After Jiang Susu finished drinking the water, she said, "Brother Shiyan, let's leave here quickly, I'm a little scared."

"What's wrong?" Shen Shiyan asked.

"A strange person just asked me my name and offered to get me some water. They might be back in a bit, and I want to leave now. If my parents find out, they'll definitely scold me."

She was very scared just now, which is why she used her nickname. Now she just wants to leave this place.

"Okay, let's leave here then." Shen Shiyan led Jiang Susu away.

When Shang Yanxing returned to the place with the water, Jiang Susu was already gone.

Shang Yanxing looked around but didn't see Jiang Susu anywhere.

"Where did you go? You promised to wait for me to come back." Does she not like playing with him anymore?

Later, Shang Yanxing put down the glass of water and searched for Jiang Susu for a long time.

But he couldn't find any of them.

Shang Yanxing was very disappointed that he couldn't find Jiang Susu.

Unbeknownst to him, Shen Shiyan had already left with Jiang Susu.

For several days afterward, Shang Yanxing couldn't stop thinking about Jiang Susu, but he didn't dare to go to her or inquire about her whereabouts.

Because he is only fifteen years old, if his parents find out, they will definitely misunderstand him again.

Shang Yanxing never dared to forget Jiang Susu's name, but what he didn't know was that Jiang Susu had only told him her nickname.

So later, when Shang Yanxing tried to find Jiang Susu using this name, he searched for a long time but couldn't find her.
