Saturday, the day of the banquet.
The dinner was scheduled to start at 7 o'clock. Generally, half an hour after the main event was announced, the guests would leave one after another. By 9 o'clock, except for those who were very close, everyone else would leave. As the host of the banquet, the An family had to be busy for more than two hours that day.
The An family spent the day as usual, resting and recuperating. In order to avoid a bulge in the stomach when wearing formal clothes at night, the family did not dare to eat too much for lunch, which was tasteless.
Fortunately, this family is good-looking. An Zhaoming and Ning Rong exercise regularly and have good figures. Chen Ying also does yoga regularly. It doesn't look like she has a 20-year-old son at all.
An Xing was the only one who didn't like sports. He had a small frame and although he could pinch a handful of soft flesh, it was not visible from the outside. In addition, he was not the protagonist today, but the one who ate the most happily.
In the afternoon, the waiters and security guards hired by the An family were in place. Before Chen Ying went to see the scene, she delivered today's dresses to the two children.
As soon as they woke up from their nap, An Xing went to Ning Rong's room and played games together on the bed. When Chen Ying brought them clothes, they got up to wash their faces and prepare to change clothes.
"Oh, this outfit is the same as the one Brother Chen gave me!"
The clothes were ironed and hung up. An Xing removed the dust cover and recognized the design of the clothes at a glance. He found a collar pin at the collar and leaned over to take a look.
Although Ning Rong was dragged by Chen Ying to make up for a few days of classes, he was really unfamiliar with these. He looked at his own clothes, then at An Xing's, and apart from the color, he only vaguely felt that their clothes were somewhat similar, and he couldn't tell anything else.
Ning Rong was very calm and moved closer to An Xing to take a look.
“This lapel pin is also very pretty.”
The collar pin was in the shape of a vine, but the vine was not decorated with leaves, but dark blue stars with a metallic glow. Ning Rong had no artistic appreciation, he just thought it looked good, and it also looked good when paired with a suit.
It would definitely look good on his brother too.
An Xing had already noticed the card in his suit pocket. He took it out and took a look at it, with a happy expression on his face.
"Brother Chen picked out the collar pin for me. No wonder it looks so good!"
Ning Rong: ...
Ning Rong turned his head grimly and studied his clothes.
However, An Xing still felt that his sigh was not enough. On the one hand, he felt happy that Lu Tianchen cared about him, but on the other hand, he thought that such a good brother Chen would not be his after tonight, and he suddenly felt sad.
He couldn't help but grab Ning Rong, and said to the boy with a sigh:
"Brother, Brother Chen is such a good man, you should be nicer to him in the future!"
"..."
"Really, Brother Chen is actually very easy to get along with!"
Seeing that Ning Rong ignored him, An Xing couldn't help but continue muttering.
"Brother Chen is very loyal to his friends and brothers. He never gets angry, is very kind to people, and always thinks of you. If you are wronged, he will help you vent your anger... And he never asks for anything in return for doing these things!"
"Oh, yes, you are right."
No matter how much of a filter he had, Ning Rong couldn't stand this stupid brother praising his brother Chen, and he perfunctorily responded with a blank expression.
"In that case, go change your clothes and see how they look with the collar pin your brother Chen gave you. You just played games for a long time. What if your face gets swollen and doesn't look good with the collar pin?"
Just throw this tie pin away, Ning Rong thought coldly.
The boy held his little round face in his hands in horror, then finally shut up and ran away pushing the clothes hanger.

The banquet that the An family is about to hold will attract a lot of attention in the upper circles of the entire Tang City.
——An Xing, the spoiled child of the An family for twenty years, turned out to be a fake young master! The mistake of being taken away at birth in TV dramas actually happens in real life!
The An family is engaged in the jewelry business, which is very promising nowadays when the national economy is developing well and the per capita income is growing. In particular, Anning Jewelry is one of the top jewelry companies in the country, and An Zhaoming is also capable of investment, which attracts a lot of attention in Tang City.
What is even more surprising is that as the heir of the An family, An Xing knows nothing about business and is devoted to art.
Although there are rumors that An Zhaoming's nephew has a good business sense and is doing well in An Ning Jewelry, everyone is an old hand in the business world and they don't believe that An Zhaoming would hand over the company he built himself to his nephew instead of his own son.
So before this summer vacation, everyone was very curious about whether An Xing, who came to An Ning Jewelry for an internship, could become a qualified heir.
Then, the explosive news came - the biological child of the An family is someone else, and An Xing was taken away by mistake!
"I just heard several people sighing for Uncle An, saying that it was a good thing he had picked up the wrong child, otherwise there would be no one to inherit his huge family business."
It was not even seven o'clock yet, but quite a few people had already arrived, chatting in groups of three or four. In the corner of the hall, Xiao Yi, Chen Bai, and An Xing stood together, with Xiao Yi parroting An Xing's words expressionlessly.
An Xing knew that Xiao Yi was speaking up for him. As I said before, they grew up together as a second-generation group, so there was always some affection between them.
"Brother Xiao Yi, don't pay attention to them. Anyone who says something like that must be someone who doesn't have a good relationship with our family!"
The young man reached out and pulled Xiao Yi's sleeve, comforting him softly.
"Unlike you, Xiao Yi, you only know that my parents and brother are so nice to me!"
An Xing never cared about what others thought of him. Those people's opinions were not important to him at all.
It's enough as long as the people he cares about are nice to him, An Xing thought, winking at Xiao Yi and then smiling at Chen Bai, being particularly fair.
The little cutie winked at him! Xiao Yi felt like he was struck in the heart, and his anger instantly subsided. He wasn't too angry at first, he just heard such idiotic remarks and felt sorry for the little cutie.
Since the little cutie wasn't angry and wasn't mentally unbalanced... then he felt relieved.
"Who are those people? It's not their place to interfere in our family affairs."
An Xing shrank his neck when a voice so cold that it sounded like ice chips came out. Then he remembered that Ning Rong was listening next to him. He quickly turned around and grabbed the boy with a bad temper.
"Forget it, brother. There are people who say sour things everywhere, and we can't always shut them up. I know that brother is good to me, so this is enough!"
The little fool spoke in a sticky voice, and Ning Rong felt that the anger in his heart was suppressed by this sweet "brother".
He looked at the little fool, said nothing more, and decided to exercise the other party's right to complain to his father.
Ning Rong coughed lightly and wanted to listen to a few more words of coquettishness, but the little fool in front of him suddenly stretched his head and a happy smile appeared on his face.
"Brother Shen!"
Ning Rong: ...
The smile disappeared instantly.
An Xing didn't care about Ning Rong's mood changes, and all her attention was on the young man who was walking slowly. Lu Tianchen had a good figure, and wearing a high-end suit, he looked countless times better than the male stars posing on the red carpet.
Thinking of this, when Lu Tianchen approached, An Xing also came over and raised his head proudly.
The brooch on the boy's neck sparkled under the light.
Lu Tianchen understood and whispered:
"Do you like this brooch? I think only a shining crystal like this can set off your eyes."
Even the stars are not as bright as your eyes.
Originally, An Xing just wanted to hear Brother Chen praise himself, but he didn't expect to hear flattery that far exceeded his usual level. An Xing was stunned for a moment and felt a little embarrassed by the flattery.
"No, it's just that the brooch is pretty..."
"That's also a decoration for you."
The man looked at the boy intently and spoke seriously.
The boy blushed and looked up, meeting the man's gaze.
Ning Rong looked at the man who was blatantly provoking the cub thief with a speechless look, and couldn't help but take a step forward.
"Forget it, forget it. They are all Xingzai's brothers."
"That's right, you're about to go on stage, so hurry up and leave."
Xiao Yi and Chen Bai held Ning Rong on each side and dragged her away from the corner.
The newborn calf is not afraid of the tiger and actually wants to snatch the star cub from Lu Tianchen!
When An Xing came back to his senses from his inexplicable embarrassment, he found that he and Lu Tianchen were the only ones left in the corner.
Ning Rong has been brought by An Zhaoming to show his importance. Today is Ning Rong's big day. An Xing does not intend to run out and steal Ning Rong's limelight at this moment. He simply continues to chat with Lu Tianchen in the corner. He will go over after An Zhaoming announces Ning Rong's identity.
Lu Tianchen lowered his eyes slightly and looked at the young man beside him.
The tall and handsome boy followed behind the An couple and was solemnly introduced to close partners. He did not show any timidity and won many overt and covert admiring glances.
The former young master of the An family was now in the corner, secretly eating a small cake and looking over there without any jealousy or disappointment.
Not everyone can accept and face this kind of thing calmly, which makes the innocent heart of a young person particularly precious.
"An Xing."
The boy, who was happily eating a cake, heard the man calling him. He looked up with puffed cheeks and asked what was wrong with his eyes.
Lu Tianchen turned sideways, facing the young man, and asked in a low voice:
"Now that this matter is over, what are your plans for the future?"
Plan? What plan?
An Xing was confused for a moment, thinking that he should have told the man about his career plan before, why was he asking again? But he was relieved in an instant, after all, Brother Chen was so busy, it was normal that he couldn't remember.
"That's it. I'll manage my account well and get some cooperation in the future. Then I'll graduate successfully and make money for my father and brother. Oh, and I'll run the charity foundation seriously and try to help more families. And then..."
The man's eyes lit up slightly, and he stared at the boy intently even as his heartbeat became increasingly disordered.
"Then I'll try to open a studio like my mom and become an independent designer!"
An Xing said with longing.
Lu Tianchen: ...
Lu Tianchen felt that his fiery heart was about to turn cold. He listened and listened, but he didn't hear the boy mention anything about what happened between them.
For the first time, Lu Tianchen suspected that between the two of them, An Xing was the domineering boss, and he was just a love-brained person.
"That's not what I want to ask you. Of course I remember your career plan."
What else can I do with the little fool I like? Of course I have to spoil her. Lu Tianchen thought helplessly and could only make his words clearer.
"I mean, now that the family issues have been resolved... shouldn't you consider our relationship?"
With this said, the little fool should understand, right?
Now that the issue of the wrong baby has been resolved and An Xing doesn't have to worry about her future life, it's time to announce their engagement, right?
Although it took some tricks to get An Xing to agree to get engaged to him - taking advantage of the little fool to trick him while he was enjoying his meal, as long as the result was good, it was fine. As long as they finally fell in love with each other, that was fine.
The man looked down at the boy intently, excitedly and expectantly, waiting for his answer.
Under such a gaze, the young man was stunned, his round almond-shaped eyes slightly widened, revealing a look of sudden enlightenment.
"Oh! Brother Shen, what are you talking about?"
Lu Tianchen's heartbeat quickened again. He looked over carefully and saw the young man approaching him with a clear and sweet voice.
"Our matter is indeed quite important - Brother Chen, since I am not the An family's biological child, should we cancel our engagement and be good brothers again?"
The little fool's eyes sparkled and he lowered his voice considerately, as if he was taking care of his reputation.
Lu Tianchen: ...
It’s fine.
