"Um...can I ask you a question?"

Yan Yinran wanted to know why it was her.

"ask."

Leng Mingye looked at her expectantly, wondering what questions she would ask him.

"Why were you invited? There were so many people..."

Yan Yinran asked somewhat insecurely, feeling that she might not be the best. There were too many people who fit the image; don't forget, this was the A City Dance Academy…

"Is 'it's pleasing to the eye' enough of a reason?"

Leng Mingye didn't think too much about it, nor did he try to hide anything; he simply stated the reason openly.

"Hmm, sure. I'll think about it."

Yan Yinran could accept this answer; indeed, many people and things depend on fate and first impressions.

She's used too many things from the Yan family, and now a money-making opportunity has come along, which seems pretty good.

Then she will be able to buy gifts for her family on her own, not with the family's money, but with her own earnings.

This seems pretty good, just like my sister, relying on my own two hands!

"Okay, I'll come back to ask you for the answer in three days."

Leng Mingye suddenly felt 80% certain that he needed more time to consider giving it to her.

"No need, I've thought it over, I accept your invitation."

Yan Yinran instantly understood; she realized her earlier thought was quite good. She wasn't lacking in money or possessions. It was just that those things were given to her by her parents, not earned through her own efforts.

She also wanted to experience the joy of making money!

"Okay, do you have any salary requirements? You can mention them."

Leng Mingye was generous and had no intention of mistreating her. He tried his best to meet her requests within his means.

"No, just do it your way. To be precise, whatever you think I'm worth is what I am."

"Um... I'm talking about commercial value, not me as a person."

Fearing that Leng Mingye might misunderstand and overthink things, Yan Yinran quickly interjected to explain.

The main problem is that she doesn't know the market rate, and also, this is her first time working outside... What if the other party thinks she's asking for too much? Wouldn't that make her feel very embarrassed?

"Okay, come to my company then, and I'll show you the contract. If you have any questions, just let me know, and I'll fix them for you on the spot."

Leng Mingye wanted to laugh, but he suppressed it. He really hadn't expected Yan Yinran to say something like that.

"Okay, let's go back then."

Yan Yinran nodded, thinking that Leng Mingye was quite easy to talk to, but could it be because of her father?

"Um."

Immediately afterwards, Yan Yinran and Leng Mingye returned to the private room one after the other.

Yan Yinran moved the stool closer to Yan Xiluo.

"Sister, Leng Mingye invited me to be the spokesperson for the Lengye Group's resort project. I accepted. What do you think? I was going to think about it, but I just agreed."

Yan Yinran leaned close to her ear and whispered something in a voice only the two of them could hear. Yan Xiluo also leaned in to listen, but her eyes kept drifting towards Lan Jingyan.

"Hmm. I'm glad you like it. Lengye Group is good, and Leng Mingye is alright too."

Yan Xiluo's words had a double meaning.

"Uh-huh."

Yan Yinran nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite. "Leng Mingye is alright? In what aspect are you referring?"

She felt that Yan Xiluo was targeting her, but she wondered if she had misunderstood.

Yan Yinran was very reserved throughout, mainly because Leng Mingye was there. Wei Yanyu was also reserved because of her and spoke much less.

"Yoona and I are getting married next month, will you guys be my best men?"

Lan Jingyan suddenly received a message from Su Ruien in the group chat.

Of the four brothers, Su Ruien was the first to get married and hold a wedding. Undoubtedly, he would choose Lan Jingyan, Yan Yuze, and Li Shaochuan as his best men.

He had expected this long ago.

"What about Luo Luo?"

"What about Yueyue?"

"What about Ningning?"

Lan Jingyan, Li Shaochuan, and Yan Yuze sent out their messages at almost the same time.

Their level of understanding really surprised Su Ruien, who almost dropped her phone.

"Ahem, you're just groomsmen, you don't do anything else."

Su Ruien felt guilty. They hadn't asked them to do anything to betray their girlfriend, so why were they reacting so strongly?

"You have such a big face?"

"You have such a big face?"

"You have such a big face?"

The three of them responded with perfect unison.

Su Ruien felt embarrassed. What had she said before? Whoever got married first, the others would have to be the best man for that person.

Now that everyone's taken, no one cares whether he lives or dies.

The saying "valuing romance over friendship" is indeed true.

"That's not what we said back then!"

Su Ruien was full of grievances. Is this a fake friendship?

"Back then, without Luo Luo, I didn't have to consider my girlfriend's feelings."

"Exactly, how could I possibly neglect Yueyue and go be a groomsman?"

"My daughter Ningning's leg hasn't fully recovered yet, so I can't leave her side."

The three of them retorted to Su Ruien one after another, leaving Su Ruien speechless.

"How about your partner be Yoona's bridesmaid? You two could make a perfect couple!"

Su Ruien asked tentatively.

"Are you going to die?"

"Are you going to die?"

"Are you going to die?"

The three of them responded immediately, showing great tacit understanding.

"Hey, hey, hey, this won't do, that won't do, you can't play like this!"

Su Ruien was dissatisfied and extremely aggrieved. Her brothers had no place in their hearts anymore, not even a corner.

"I don't want to burden my Luoluo. Besides, if she leaves, what will become of the bride? I don't want people to misunderstand."

Lan Jingyan's arrogant and boastful words showed no respect for Su Ruien. Moreover, he wasn't wrong; besides, Su Ruien was Yan Xiluo's cousin. Didn't he have any sense of his cousin's stunning beauty?

"My daughter Ningning has bad legs and can't take any more stress."

Yan Yuze refused without hesitation.

"My Yueyue is very busy. It's good enough that she can attend the wedding. Why think so much?"

Being a bridesmaid is no fun; managing the company is tiring enough for her, so he's not going to do it.

"Your friendship is over!"

Su Ruien was furious. This wasn't allowed, that wasn't allowed. These bastards didn't keep their word!

"No need to see me out."

Take care.

"goodbye."

The three of them immediately increased the damage to 100%, and Su Ruien felt like she was about to shatter.

More than ten years of brotherhood shattered in that instant, leaving only fragments.

"What are you talking about?"

Yan Xiluo noticed that Lan Jingyan kept looking at his phone and worried that he had encountered some problem to solve again.

"Let me show you."

Lan Jingyan handed his phone to Yan Xiluo. His mouth was a little dry, so he grabbed a glass of juice.

"Won't you guys make Ryan very sad?"

She felt sorry for Su Ruien, but why did it feel inexplicably funny?

"He's very resilient, he'll be fine."

Lan Jingyan spoke calmly, then took a few sips of juice.

"You guys are so plastic."

Yan Xiluo couldn't help but complain, her expression quite intriguing.
