Chapter 388 Can I control him?
Gu Yuehuai walked towards Song Jinan's table holding a glass of water. Although her clothes were not fancy, she looked exquisite. Everyone looked at her for a few seconds and then looked away. Those who could enter and leave such occasions were not ordinary people. They were just divided into core and peripheral.
In everyone's eyes, Song Jinan's table is the so-called core of Province H.
After she left, Yan Shaoyu withdrew his gaze and waited for an opportunity.
In fact, he could have gone upstairs directly as Xu Chuangu's subordinate, but as Gu Yuehuai said, this banquet provided an opportunity for Song Lin and others to meet, and they deliberately invited Xu Chuangu to come, not to waste time.
With the fall of the Yan family, there was a major reshuffle of forces in the capital. In the eyes of everyone, Song Lin and Xu Chuangu used to be Yan Shouzhi's subordinates. They were brothers with him and supported each other. But now that Yan Shouzhi is in prison, these two people are doing very well.
Although Bai Jing was not from the same faction as them, since he came to Province H, he naturally became the target of their efforts to win over.
The Bai family's power is one thing, but their neutrality and not having been wooed by anyone is another important aspect. Otherwise, given how much Song Jinan is cherished by the Song family, Song Lin would not be willing to push her forward to marry into the Bai family.
The atmosphere at Song Jinan's table was very harmonious, mainly because Xu Yin was there to play both sides and adjust the mood.
She has always been a person who says one thing to one person and another thing to another person. Now, those sitting at the table are all rich kids of the same level and grade as her, and even Song Jinan and Bai Caiwei, who are far better than hers. Naturally, she can't act arrogantly.
Xu Yin had already heard from her parents that the real purpose of today's banquet was to bring Bai Caiwei and Song Jinan together. She wanted to act as a matchmaker and bring the two together, and it would be best if things could be settled as soon as possible.
Although she was not convinced in her heart, she felt that she was not much worse than Bai Caiwei and was a good match for Song Jinan, but it was obvious that the Song family had set their sights on Bai Caiwei, and their marriage was not just a matter between the two of them.
Xu Yin smiled and said, "Caiwei, why don't you say anything today? Come to think of it, this is the first time you and Brother Jin An have met, right?"
She felt strange. Although Bai Caiwei didn't talk much in the past, she was gentle and tactful and never made enemies with anyone. Sometimes she envied her because she had very stable emotions and was an excellent woman in the eyes of outsiders.
Bai Caiwei rarely had such a dull moment. When Song Jinan came in, she just looked up and nodded as a greeting, but soon lowered her eyes, looking cold and gloomy, and no one knew what she was thinking.
Xu Yin spoke up, and Bai Caiwei couldn't remain silent any longer, so she nodded and said, "Yes, it's the first time we meet."
Her attitude was neither warm nor cold, as if she was treating an ordinary peer, rather than the man her father had urged her to marry. This way of behaving made Xu Yin vaguely anxious.
However, Song Jinan had no reaction to this and seemed to have no interest in Bai Caiwei either.
Xu Yin had a headache. He laughed and turned the topic to Song Jinan: "Brother Jinan, why are you so quiet today? You didn't inform anyone when you returned to H Province. We should find a chance to welcome you."
Song Jinan looked polite but not enthusiastic. He said, "I just came back. I feel a little uncomfortable today, so I don't talk much."
He did not make any argument and was in a very low mood. He was well aware of Xu Yin's attempt to pull the plug on Bai Caiwei, but he did not have any feelings for Bai Caiwei. The two of them were more like strangers sitting together for a meal. How could he develop feelings for a stranger?
Shi Bo frowned and nudged Song Jinan lightly with his elbow.
He smiled and tried to smooth things over: "Wasn't it snowing heavily on Jin'an's way to H Province? He was wearing thin clothes, so he got a little sick and had a fever. Jin'an, Caiwei just came to H Province not long ago, and the governor has told you to entertain Caiwei well."
Song Jinan pulled the corners of his lips and said dryly: "I'm not familiar with H Province either."
Hearing this, Bai Caiwei looked up at Song Jinan and sneered in her heart. How could he look down on her?
Doesn't he know that it is Song Lin who is begging for marriage with her Bai family, not that no one wants her, Bai Caiwei?
At this moment, she glanced and saw Gu Yuehuai walking towards her with a cup of water. She stared at Gu Yuehuai with a cold brow, thinking that he was here to show off his identity as Yan Shaoyu's girlfriend.
Yan Shaoyu was truly blind to such a despicable and narrow-minded woman.
Bai Caiwei sneered and retracted her gaze, no longer looking at her.
Gu Yuehuai also noticed the disgust and hostility in Bai Caiwei's eyes, but it didn't matter. In this situation, the more she hated her, the more chaotic the situation would become. He only needed to attract everyone's attention to create an opportunity.
She smiled and walked behind Song Jinan: "Song Zhiqing, Secretary Shi, do you mind if I come over and say hello?"
Song Jinan's face changed, and he immediately stood up and looked back at Gu Yuehuai. His previous weak look disappeared, and he said nervously: "Comrade Gu, where were you sitting just now? I didn't even see you."
His face was completely different from just now, and everyone sitting at the table looked at each other in surprise, and the atmosphere became awkward.
Xu Yin had been smiling before, but now he looked like a fighting cock: "What are you doing here?!"
Gu Yuehuai shrugged: "Is it okay to just come and say hello to a friend?"
Song Jinan looked back at Xu Yin and pulled out his stool: "Comrade Gu, you sit here with me."
His giving of face made Xu Yin, who was standing beside him, blush: "Brother Jin An!"
However, Song Jinan had no time to comfort her. Seeing Gu Yuehuai sitting down, he breathed a sigh of relief, then found a chair and sat down next to Gu Yuehuai. He then asked her in a low voice how she got in, which was very considerate.
Gu Yuehuai looked calm and did not feel flattered by his politeness and consideration.
Song Jinan is such a person. When he likes someone, he will give his whole heart and soul to that person and would like to give everything. Even if he doesn't love that person but is just a friend, he will still care and take care of that person, just like he treats Yan Shaoyu.
In her previous life, the person who enjoyed Song Jinan's care was Tian Jing, and she had no idea how many times she had witnessed it.
Therefore, Song Jinan's attentiveness did not make her feel any special at all.
Xu Yin was standing in the position, feeling more and more embarrassed, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Bai Caiwei: "Caiwei! Look at him!"
In fact, the one who should be really embarrassed by Song Jinan's appearance should be Bai Caiwei. Who among the people present didn't know that tonight was Song Jinan and Bai Caiwei's blind date party? But the man was not only not attentive, but also attentive and considerate to another woman.
Bai Caiwei did not expect this. She originally thought that this man came to provoke her, but he actually came to find Song Jinan. Looking at Song Jinan's expression, it was not difficult to guess what he was thinking. For a moment, Bai Caiwei couldn't tell what she felt in her heart.
She smiled and said, "What do I do with him? Can I control the governor's son?"
