Although his eyes were on the stage, his thoughts were already hidden. As soon as Yan Qingxue appeared at the banquet, she held Xiao Yanmin tightly.

In order to please her husband, Yan Qingxue specially changed into a cheongsam today, in a very bright color.

As soon as Yan Qingxue appeared at the banquet, her dress attracted everyone's attention. Many people had secretly asked who that person was. When they heard that she was Xiao Yanmin's wife, it was still quite incredible.

At this banquet, the two sons of the Xiao family formed a very sharp contrast. The one on the stage was Xiao Nanfang's eldest son, and the one under the stage was the second young master who was currently very famous in the capital.

Logically speaking, the eldest son of the Xiao family was enjoying great glory on the stage, so this must have been a huge blow to the second young master below the stage. However, he seemed to be calm and composed.

"Yanmin, did you see the way your father looked at you?" Yan Qingxue had been secretly observing Xiao Nanfang's expression the entire evening.

Although Xiao Nanfang had a smug and arrogant expression on Xiao Jinchu's face, when he looked at Xiao Yanmin, he looked like a kind father. This look was too inconsistent for Xiao Nanfang.

"Hmm?" Xiao Yanmin turned the wine glass in his hand. Seeing that her husband was finally interested in talking to her, Yan Qingxue wanted to show off, so she spoke quickly.

"Although Dad looks a little proud when he sees Xiao Jinchu, the way he looks at you is completely different from the way he looks at him." Although Yan Qingxue spoke without thinking and didn't have any extra thoughts to argue with others, she was able to keenly observe everyone's expressions.

After Yan Qingxue said this, Xiao Yanmin just smiled and said nothing.

The father-son relationship between him and Xiao Nanfang is definitely not as simple as they imagined. Xiao Nanfang has always been brooding over the death of his mother in his early years and believes that it is his responsibility, so he feels guilty towards Xiao Yanmin.

He had never told Yan Qingxue how Xiao Yanmin's mother died, so... he knew that Xiao Nanfang felt more like guilt than a father-son relationship towards him.

He no longer had the heart to listen to what Yan Qingxue said, so he once again focused all his attention on Xiao Jinchu on the stage.

It is undeniable that Xiao Jinchu looked so majestic in his military uniform that he stunned everyone at the banquet.

The two men's eyes met in mid-air, and the smell of gunpowder began to explode in the air.

Xiao Jinchu shifted his gaze away, and then he finished the glass of wine in his hand in one breath.

The looks from the guests below the stage were mixed with curiosity, irony, and of course, more people just looking to enjoy the show.

Xiao Yanmin suddenly stood up and moved the wine glass in his hand towards Xiao Jinchu: "It is an honor for our Xiao family that Big Brother can return safely today with honors. What President Zhang said just now was indeed inappropriate."

"Here, I'd like to toast my big brother." When Xiao Yanmin was toasting, some people applauded and shouted "good", but some people pretended not to hear him and totally ignored him.

The entire scene in front of him entered Xiao Yanmin's sight, but he didn't care at all. On the contrary, after this incident, he knew who were loyal to him and who were not obedient to him.

The applause was intermittent and lacked any unity. After it ended, Xiao Jingchu on the stage also showed a mocking look. He didn't have the energy to talk to him anymore.

"My mother arranged a marriage for me in my early years, but the other party had already given the marriage to someone else when he heard that I was paralyzed."

Everyone thought that Xiao Jinchu would definitely talk a lot this time, but no one expected that he would suddenly mention what happened before.

Hearing this, Yan Zhenhua, who was sitting in the audience, suddenly turned pale and blue, and his smile was about to fall off. He thought to himself that since Xiao Jinchu mentioned this matter, he must not tell anyone about it. If he did, how would he save his old face?

Many people asked this question privately.

"Who are you talking about?"  "It seems to be the daughter of the Yan family..."

"No way? Mayor Yan's daughter? Mayor Yan shouldn't be that kind of person, right?"

The marriage had already been agreed upon, but they immediately regretted it because something happened to someone else. If Yan Zhenhua is really such a person, it would be really shocking.

Yan Zhenhua felt the looks in those people's eyes, and he immediately turned his head guiltily and coughed lightly a few times.

Yan Qingxue naturally noticed it as well, and thought that Xiao Jinchu was saying today that he wanted to celebrate his recovery from his injuries, so he couldn't be trying to slap them in the face.

"I believe that everyone who came here today has a deep question in their heart, just like what President Zhang said just now, I am already paralyzed, but why can I still stand here so normally today?"

Xiao Jinchu said slowly.

"Actually, about a year ago, my legs were severely injured and my big bones were severely broken. Even the doctor said that I was incurable. Except for my mother, almost everyone gave up on me. But there was one person who didn't give up on me."

Xiao Jinchu finished the wine in the glass and his voice became hoarse as he continued speaking.

"It was she who supported me when I was at my lowest point, gave me the greatest comfort when I was most sad, and taught me what perseverance meant when I lost hope in life. She also used her best medical skills to heal my legs."

Xiao Jinchu spoke these words with deep emotion, and it can be heard that in his heart he truly regarded this lifesaver as a very important person.

"She has no regrets and has always stood behind me very persistently without saying anything." Xiao Jinchu laughed out loud, "I am really lucky to have met her in this life."

Yan Shuhua, who was sitting in the corner, felt a surge of emotion in her heart when she heard Xiao Jinchu's words.

She did not appear today as the young lady of the Xiao family, but sat quietly in a corner, looking at Xiao Jinchu.

She didn't know what Xiao Jinchu would do next, but no matter what, he would definitely be the man she loved the most.

"What a coincidence! My lifesaver is the other daughter of the father who was unwilling to marry me."
