Because he was close, Xue Du naturally saw the name on the screen.
His eyes darkened a bit as he looked at Shen Yinan, his expression not changing at all.
But the hands hanging by his sides had already been clenched into fists, and the knuckles had turned white from the force.
Ana Shen stared at the name on the phone screen for a few seconds and answered the call.
Before he could say anything, the young man's impatient voice came from the other side: "Where is it? Why hasn't the brooch I bought for Zizi last time been delivered yet? She asked me for it yesterday."
Shen Yinan subconsciously glanced at Xue Du who was standing opposite him.
The other person was also looking at him.
His knuckles curled unconsciously.
He thought that at such a close distance, he must have heard it.
For no reason, Shen Yinan felt very uncomfortable.
Yesterday he went to the birthday party and planned to give the brooch as a gift, but after hearing those almost insulting words, Shen Yinan dropped the gift in his hand to the ground, turned around and left.
Gu Yan has always been so righteous towards him, and would attack and scold him if he was not satisfied with anything.
Regardless of the occasion or time.
For the first time, Ana Shen felt like refusing.
But he frowned, not quite knowing how to start the conversation.
Ten years ago, it was the Gu family that helped him...
The knuckles holding the phone tightened, Shen Yinan opened his mouth, and his knuckles were suddenly wrapped in warm temperature.
It was Xue Du who held his hand.
The young man seemed to see his embarrassment and said gently, "If you don't want to give it, you can refuse it."
"Who's talking?" Gu Yan was anxious, and his voice unconsciously rose with a bit of irritation, "Alan Shen, I'm asking you a question! When will you give me the brooch? My girlfriend is waiting."
Shen Yinan was stunned for a moment, and for some reason, when Xue Du held his hand, he suddenly had the courage to resist.
He said slowly: "I won't give it to you."
"What?"
Gu Yan was stunned by these words.
But Shen Yinan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
It turned out that rejecting Gu Yan was not as difficult as he had imagined.
Even with a bit of relief.
His words became smoother and smoother, and a sense of confidence grew in his chest after realizing it belatedly. "I bought the brooch, I didn't want to give it to you. If you need it, the auction fee is 750,000. You have my card number. I'll have my assistant send it to you after the money is transferred."
After the words fell, there was deathly silence on the other side.
Gu Yan was stunned for a long while before squeezing out a few words: "Are you crazy?"
After saying that, the phone was suddenly hung up, leaving only a dead tone.
Before Ana Shen could react, someone patted the top of his head twice.
Xue Du said calmly, "It's time for him to take his medicine."
The implication is that Gu Yan is the one with a mental illness.
Ana Shen wanted to laugh, but felt a little embarrassed, so he gently scratched his cheek with his fingertips.
He wanted to change the subject.
The next second, Xue Du bent down, looked him straight in the eyes, and chuckled, "Let's go?"
"good."
Shen Yinan nodded and followed Xue Du inside.
When the two arrived at the main entrance of the banquet hall, they ran into the two people who had been gossiping just now.
They were stopped from entering.
One of them said angrily, "We came here with the Gu family. Why aren't we allowed in?"
"I'm sorry sir, we didn't see your name on the guest list."
The burly man in front of them said calmly, "Or you can show me your invitation."
"We are with Gu Yan. What invitation do we need?"
The man yelled in dissatisfaction, but the strong man ignored him.
There are so many people like this who sneak in. The Xue family is not a vegetable market, so anyone can come.
When passing by, Ana Shen tightened his face and controlled himself to pass by without giving a glance.
Xue Du followed the young man a few steps away, glanced at the men, and said to the burly man, "Old Zhang, take care of this."
After saying that, he followed Shen Yinan in a few steps and walked shoulder to shoulder with him.
Old Zhang nodded in understanding, glanced at Shen Yinan's back, and was amazed in his heart.
No wonder he, the bodyguard, was sent to guard the gate today. It turns out he went out to find a girlfriend.
The two troublemakers stood there in a daze.
Someone recognized Ana Shen and said angrily: “They didn’t show the invitation letter either!”
Another person echoed: "That's right, why are you stopping us?"
Old Zhang gave him a puzzled look and said, "He doesn't need it."
Why does their young master need an invitation to bring his friends home?
The two of them were only paying attention to Shen Yinan and didn't recognize Xue Du. They thought that Lao Zhang was deliberately making things difficult for them and were so angry that they jumped on the spot.
As they were arguing, one of them suddenly had an idea: “The Shen family must have received it, call Shen Yinan out and give him to us!”
"Yes, I'm calling now!"
As he spoke, he took out his cell phone and started making a call.
Before I could even call, the call was hung up.
The man was dumbfounded: "F*ck! He blocked me!"
"You're crazy! Let me try... Damn! He blocked me too!"
The two were furious and used all kinds of words to curse Shen Yinan.
Old Zhang couldn't stand it anymore. These two people kept talking here, which could easily affect the image of the Xue family in the mind of their young lady!
How does that sentence go?
Oh, this is the first time their young master brings someone home!
The young master has been single for more than 20 years, he has to do his part!
Old Zhang rubbed his hands, and regardless of the two men's struggles, he picked them up one in each hand and slipped them away.

The banquet hall was as bright as day, with the light reflecting through the crystal chandelier on the ceiling, forming bright starlight. People in fancy clothes stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows and on the small balcony, holding glasses and chatting.
Shen Yinan looked up and saw that all the people coming and going were social elites from all walks of life.
Most of the people there are young men, and most of them are probably attracted by the single Miss Xue.
