Chapter 385: The High and mighty Third Brother Yan
Gu Yuehuai didn't look at him for long before Yan Shaoyu noticed her gaze and looked up to meet her eyes.
At that moment, even Bai Caiwei who was standing in front of him felt that his lazy and unruly eyebrows softened, as if ice and snow had just melted. Upon closer inspection, his beautiful ebony eyes were tinged with a faint helpless smile.
Bai Caiwei was stunned for a moment. In her memory, Yan Shaoyu had always been aloof, proud and unruly, as if he didn't care about anyone in the world. So when she first recognized him, she didn't care about his cold attitude, but just felt a little happy.
Yes, joy, an unspeakable pride and joy that blooms from the bottom of my heart.
She knew that the Yan family had fallen into decline, and the once high-ranking Third Brother of the Yan family had become a poor kid despised by everyone, but so what? She had seen him being arrogant and insolent, and she had also seen the young masters in the capital all bowing their heads and calling him Third Brother. Putting everything aside, he was also an excellent and eye-catching person.
Even without his family background to add to his appeal, he is still as attractive as ever.
When they were in the capital, countless girls wanted to talk to him more, and it was undeniable that she was one of them.
After learning about the trouble with the Yan family, her first reaction was pity, but then she felt a hint of hidden joy. She came from a good family, so she naturally knew that countless people were planning to form an alliance with her family. So could she take advantage of this?
She wanted to help Yan Shaoyu and help him revive the Yan family. This idea was hard to erase once it was born.
Unfortunately, when she mustered up the courage to go to the compound, she found out that he had left and gone to a remote village to work in a production team. He might not come back for several years, ten years, or even his entire life. The chance of her seeing him again was almost zero.
At that moment, she couldn't tell what she felt in her heart. If she had to describe it, it would probably be a very complicated feeling of loss.
She knew very well that if he stayed away from the capital, a place of trouble, or in other words, away from the power center like the capital, Yan Shaoyu would no longer be the Third Brother Yan. He would be assimilated, losing his pride and character. To put it bluntly, he might marry an ordinary country woman, have a few children, and become an ordinary man from then on.
She gave up the idea of looking for him, suddenly acknowledged that everyone has their own destiny, and prepared to follow her parents' arrangements.
And this time, her father's transfer to H Province was an arrangement. Tonight's banquet was the moment that would decide her fate. Everyone knew that the other party at the blind date party was none other than the governor Song Lin's son, Song Jinan.
She had never met Song Jinan, but only heard a few words about him from her friends.
He was a very well-behaved man and never joined in gatherings of children from large families. While others were making connections, he might be studying. He was an ordinary-looking young man from a wealthy family with perhaps a good-looking face, the fifth brother Song from the compound.
Although she was not very satisfied, their family backgrounds were similar, so it was natural for them to get married. It was a complete marriage with no emotional basis at all. However, she had already accepted the arrangement of fate and it didn't matter whether it was Song Jinan or not.
But she really didn't expect to meet Yan Shaoyu again tonight!
He hadn't changed much since the last time they parted. After putting on the military uniform, he looked even more iron-blooded. She breathed a sigh of relief, and the emotions that had been buried deep in her heart suddenly surged out.
He did not give up on himself or degenerate, but joined the army.
She knew that no matter what time it was, Yan Shaoyu would never become an ordinary person lost in the crowd.
If, if she offered to give everything to help him revive the Yan family, would he marry her?
Bai Caiwei's heart was beating like a drum. She originally wanted to speak, but when she saw the sudden tenderness in Yan Shaoyu's eyes, she suddenly felt that things did not seem to develop in the direction she expected. Something was different.
She bit her lip, turned her head, and followed Yan Shaoyu's gaze, and saw Gu Yuehuai standing in the dusk.
Before Bai Caiwei could react, Yan Shaoyu had already raised his foot and walked towards Gu Yuehuai. His back was as straight as a pine tree, and his steps were steady without stopping. He completely ignored her. There was only Gu Yuehuai in his eyes.
Yan Shaoyu approached, bent his slender fingers slightly, and flicked her smooth forehead: "What are you looking at?"
His movements were intimate, but his tone was somewhat unhappy.
Gu Yuehuai raised his eyebrow and said teasingly, "Aren't you afraid of ruining your good fortune?"
Yan Shaoyu was almost so angry that he laughed. He pulled the corners of his lips and looked extremely dangerous: "Good news? What good news?"
Gu Yuehuai blinked his eyes, pretending to try to recall, and then said calmly: "Oh, I was wrong, I didn't even have time to go over and you saw me, let's go over and reminisce about the past."
As she spoke, she took Yan Shaoyu's arm and walked towards Bai Caiwei.
When she got closer, she could clearly see the shock and rejection in Bai Caiwei's eyes. Besides that, there was also a hint of hostility. She sighed in her heart. Yan Shaoyu was indeed a beautiful flower, attracting bees and butterflies wherever he went.
Gu Yuehuai was thinking in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He said very naturally: "Comrade Bai, hello, we meet again."
"You, how could you..." Bai Caiwei's eyes lingered between Gu Yuehuai and Yan Shaoyu's arms, and she truly experienced what was called a "pupil earthquake". She could not believe how these two people could have any connection with each other, and it seemed like they had a pretty good relationship!
Yan Shaoyu raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Gu Yuehuai: "Have you met?"
Gu Yuehuai curled the corners of his lips, and his tone was not full of emotion: "We met once yesterday, but we are not familiar with each other."
Bai Caiwei also came back to her senses at this time. She pursed her lips tightly and stared at Yan Shaoyu with complicated eyes. She had thought that he had thought it through, so he left the countryside to join the army, ready to do something and return to the center of power in the capital.
But who knew that he still degenerated and indulged in the beauty of a lowly woman.
The fact that this person went to the consignment shop yesterday to sell his ancestral bracelet was enough to show that his family conditions were extremely poor. And the fact that he was able to take out such a treasure also indirectly showed that his family might be landlords. Would Yan Shaoyu be willing to lower himself to such a person?
Bai Caiwei was very disappointed, and the joy on her face disappeared completely, gradually turning into a cold indifference that kept people at a distance.
She shook her head slightly, not wanting to say anything more, and said, "Excuse me."
After saying that, Bai Caiwei straightened her back and walked to the venue in high heels. From beginning to end, she did not show any intention of competing for the man, as if doing so would lower her own value and humiliate her status as a rich lady.
A hint of surprise flashed across Gu Yuehuai's eyes, and he looked at Bai Caiwei's back with his beautiful eyes slightly narrowed.
Yesterday she thought that these second-generation young ladies were extremely stupid, but now it seems that is not entirely true. At least Bai Caiwei is not completely without merit. She originally thought that she would have to face a war of words between two female rivals, but that was just her petty mindset.
