"Alright then." Ye Xingchen nodded helplessly.
"Congratulations on finding your family." After leaving the house, Ling Yan drove off in a bright red Ferrari.
"I have to thank Elder Ling for this," Ye Xingchen said. "If it weren't for Elder Ling, I wouldn't even know who my biological parents are."
“My grandfather just went along with it. Even without him, you would have found your family sooner or later,” Ling Yan said with a smile.
"Where are you taking me?" Ye Xingchen asked.
"Whether it's the Ye family or the Xia family, they are both prominent and influential families in Yanjing. Of course, I want to take you to places where these circles gather so you can get familiar with them as soon as possible," Ling Yan said with a smile.
A prestigious family's most mysterious club in Yanjing.
This club is open to only a very small number of people, and these people are all children of powerful and wealthy families in the top circles of Yanjing.
"Are you familiar with this place?" Ye Xingchen asked curiously, seeing how well she knew her way around.
“I’m not very familiar with him, but I am familiar with my brother.” Ling Yan smiled slightly and said, “I was invited here today, and I really couldn’t refuse, so I had no choice but to come.”
"So you brought me along just to use me as your shield?" Ye Xingchen had already sensed a conspiracy.
"Smart, but not exactly a shield. You're one of my people anyway," Ling Yan said with a playful smile.
"You really know how to give me a tough time." Ye Xingchen was both amused and exasperated. He knew exactly who Ling Yan was and what the Ling family of Yanjing represented.
Think about it, the person who can win Ling Yan's heart is no ordinary rich second generation. He had just arrived in Yanjing and hadn't even caught his breath when he encountered such a problem.
"Haha, are you scared?" Ling Yan turned to look at him: "This is not like your style, Young Master Ye. In my memory, there is nothing that can stump you, Ye Xingchen."
"There's no use being afraid. We're already here. Let's go in and see who this person who's qualified to pursue you really is." Ye Xingchen smiled and followed Ling Yan inside.
Those who can mingle in prestigious families are a small group of powerful and wealthy people in the upper echelons of Yanjing.
Those who can converse with Ling Yan must come from extraordinary backgrounds.
In a private room, three men and one woman were already waiting.
Upon seeing Ling Yan enter, the young man at the head of the group greeted her with a hearty laugh: "Yan'er, you've finally arrived! We've been waiting for you."
"It's been a long time since I've seen Sister Yan. She's gotten even more beautiful now." The rest of the group stood up and laughed.
"Hello everyone, I'm sorry I was held up by something." Ling Yan nodded slightly to the group and said with a smile, "Today I've brought a friend with me. Let me introduce him, Ye Xingchen."
"Ye Xingchen?" The young man was taken aback, then looked at Ye Xingchen with a clear hint of hostility in his eyes.
"This is Chen Hao, and these are his friends," Ling Yan said with a smile.
"Your friend isn't from Yanjing, is he?" Chen Hao stared at Ye Xingchen. "I've never heard of you before, Zhou Jin. Have you heard of him?"
The young man named Zhou Jin had a sinister look in his eyes and a cold aura about him. He glanced at Ye Xingchen and said, "I've never heard of this before. The people Yan'er brought must be extraordinary. Why don't you give us a detailed introduction?"
Ling Yan frowned. Zhou Jin practiced metaphysics, and not the orthodox kind at that. He gave off an ambiguous feeling, which she would never like.
But out of politeness, she smiled and said, "How about we let him introduce himself?"
All four pairs of eyes in the room turned to Ye Xingchen, which left him feeling quite helpless.
Ling Yan has really put herself in a very difficult position.
But since he was already there, he couldn't show weakness.
He reached out and wrapped his arm around Ling Yan's slender waist, pulling her close to him and pressing his body tightly against hers.
The two were now embracing each other tightly, just like a couple deeply in love.
"You..." Ling Yan was taken aback. Had this bastard gone mad?
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Ye Xingchen, and I am Ling Yan's fiancé." Ye Xingchen's words were surprising.
Ling Yan was indeed a little surprised, but then her face turned red, and she looked shy.
The atmosphere inside was deathly silent at that moment.
Everyone stared at Ye Xingchen in shock, then at Chen Hao, unsure of what to say.
In Beijing's social circles, who doesn't know that Chen Hao is pursuing Ling Yan?
His grandfather, who was still in the court and had not yet abdicated, wielded immense power, and his father's Chen family was a top-tier aristocratic family.
His mother's family, the Liu family, was also a prominent family in Yanjing.
The Chen family spans the business, political, and even military spheres. How could anyone dare to steal a woman that such a powerful figure has taken a fancy to?
Having come from a prominent family, Chen Hao quickly recovered from his initial shock.
His gaze fell on the hand Ye Xingchen was holding Ling Yan with, and then turned cold: "This joke is not funny at all."
"I'm not joking at all, Yan'er, say something!" Ye Xingchen smiled slightly and gently patted Ling Yan's upturned buttocks.
*Slap...* Ling Yan let out a soft moan. She looked at Ye Xingchen with a mixture of shock and anger, her gaze filled with a desire to devour him whole.
Chen Hao's eyes were practically spitting fire. If it weren't for Ling Yan being there, he probably would have gone after Ye Xingchen to the death right now.
He looked at Ling Yan, waiting for her to give an answer.
"My relationship with Ye Xingchen hasn't been announced yet, but... it will be soon. Our parents have already met, and we hope you will all come to our engagement ceremony." Ling Yan composed herself and said with a smile.
Is this really true? Everyone's brains went blank. Ling Yan herself admitted that it was indeed true.
But who exactly is Ye Xingchen? He is definitely not from the Yanjing circle, because no one has ever heard of him. Yet, how could such an unknown person get the Ling family to marry their daughter to him?
"Are you telling the truth?" Chen Hao's voice was filled with barely suppressed anger. He growled, "Who exactly is this kid? Why are you engaged to him?"
"You can get to know this gradually." Ling Yan smiled slightly. "By the way, I have an acquaintance here whom I haven't seen in a long time. I'll go over and chat for a bit. Ye Xingchen, wait here for me for a while."
"Go quickly and come back quickly," Ye Xingchen said gently.
Ling Yan glared at him. She liked the boy, but this bastard had been too presumptuous just now.
After Ling Yan left, the atmosphere in the room immediately became subtle. Chen Hao stared intently at Ye Xingchen: "Who are you?"
"Ye Xingchen." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly.
"Nonsense! I'm not asking for your name, I'm asking who you are!" Chen Hao retorted angrily.
