Qin Xiu noticed Yi Wei's reaction, as did Wang Wenjie, who was in a wheelchair.
"Thank you for your blessings, Assistant Qin!"
Qin Xiu's blessing was a double entendre, wishing Wang Wenjie both a happy opening of his new company and that he and Yi Wei would soon be getting married.
Previously, Yi Wei had been avoiding the topic of her relationship with Wang Wenjie. Now, she is willing to accompany him to the two companies they work for, indicating that she has tacitly acknowledged her engagement to Wang Wenjie. All that's missing is an engagement party, or even a marriage certificate.
Wang Wenjie politely clinked glasses with Qin Xiu, and the two of them tilted their heads back and downed another glass of wine.
Yi Wei, however, was still completely focused on the dazzling man over there.
Her unwavering gaze caused Wang Wenjie to frown almost imperceptibly.
However, he quickly covered it up with a smile, raised his hand to touch Yi Wei's arm, and asked her with a smile.
"Xiao Wei, do you know Assistant Qin? He's the assistant to Young Master Yan of the Yanhuang Group."
Wang Wenjie's feigned madness was quite ironic. Who in L City didn't know that the eldest daughter of the Yi family used to come and go freely at Yanhuang Group without ever having to report, just like she was in her own company?
Although Wang Wenjie is not from L City, as the most influential businessman in D City, he has many cooperative relationships with both Yanhuang and Yi's family. How could he not have heard these rumors?
Qin Xiu secretly lit a long row of candles for Yi Wei. Whether it was her good fortune or misfortune to encounter such a scheming man was hard to say.
“Young Master Wang, Miss Yi is the most sought-after young lady in our L City. She has seen countless people. I am just an ordinary person with an unremarkable appearance, so I would not dare to trouble Miss Yi with my thoughts!”
Qin Xiu was also sharp-tongued. In the past, because of the special relationship between Yi Wei and his master, no matter how bad Yi Wei's attitude towards him was, he could not show her the slightest disrespect because of his master.
Now, I've finally seen through her true colors and decisively dumped her. When I see her again, I'll naturally take the opportunity to give her a good tongue-lashing. This feeling of finally being able to sing my praises and lift my head is simply indescribable!
At this point, he finally understood why his grandfather insisted on attending the party.
Perhaps, besides showing off his magnanimity and stealing the spotlight, he also wanted to see Miss Yi's miserable state!
After figuring out his master's filthy thoughts, Qin Xiu couldn't help but shudder again.
He secretly rejoiced that he had always been loyal to his boss and had never offended him in any way, otherwise? Hmph!
"Wenjie, why didn't you tell me you invited him too?"
Yi Wei glared at Qin Xiu with a complicated expression, still maintaining her usual arrogant and haughty demeanor. Qin Xiu's earlier sympathy for her quickly vanished.
"Xiao Wei, I know you and Young Master Yan have some misunderstandings, but as the old saying goes, it's better to resolve conflicts than to let them fester. You and Young Master Yan are good friends, so you can't keep holding a grudge over such a small thing!"
Yi Wei asked about Qin Xiu, but Wang Wenjie answered about Yan Shao. Clearly, his attention was entirely focused on Yan Shao.
Qin Xiu almost burst out laughing when he heard Wang Wenjie's incredibly hypocritical words.
He thought to himself, "My master has finally met a worthy opponent with even a little bit of brains."
It's just a pity for the eldest daughter of the Yi family...
Forget it, I really have nothing better to do than come here to pity this proud young lady who is as proud as a peacock.
Thinking this, Qin Xiu took another glass of wine and handed it to Wang Wenjie, saying, "Young Master Wang, I'm sorry to interrupt your flirting."
He tilted his head back, finished his drink as an apology, put down the glass, smiled apologetically at Wang Wenjie, and then turned and pushed through the crowd back to his boss.
"Sir, I suspect that Young Master Wang is trying to test you and Miss Yi!"
Qin Xiu leaned close to Yan Shao's ear and whispered the conclusions he had drawn after personally venturing into the tiger's den.
Yan Shao showed no surprise whatsoever, simply nodding slightly, "Mm!"
Seeing his master's confident demeanor, Qin Xiu knew he had underestimated him again.
From the moment I saw Yi Wei enter, I should have already seen through Wang Wenjie's tricks.
Or perhaps, when he decided to attend this party, he had already seen through the uncertainty.
That's terrifying!
Qin Xiu was increasingly grateful that he was Yan Shao's assistant, not his rival, otherwise...
"Young Master Yan, you've always treated Miss Yi like a younger sister, so now, isn't Young Master Wang practically your brother-in-law?"
The man standing opposite Yan Shao was in his forties and was the CEO of a listed company. His surname was Luo.
Asking such a question is not foolish, but rather an attempt to ascertain Yan Shao's current attitude towards the Yi and Wang families.
Is it a case of turning a blind eye and indulging the situation? Or is it a resolute decision to deliver a crushing blow to the Yi and Wang families?
There are quite a few guests like this CEO Luo who are opportunistic and ready to take sides at any time. So, as soon as CEO Luo spoke, everyone around pricked up their ears, wanting to find out what Young Master Yan would do next, lest they do something they shouldn't and offend this big shot.
"Mr. Luo, you're joking. If I remember correctly, Young Master Wang is actually a few years older than me. Asking me to call him brother-in-law is something I can't accept, and Young Master Wang wouldn't be willing either! Besides, there are no fathers and sons in the business world, let alone brothers and sisters, right, Mr. Luo?"
Yan Shao used minimal force to achieve maximum effect, not only clearly expressing his stance but also glossing over his past with Yi Wei, neither denying nor admitting it.
But smart people understood that from now on, Young Master Yan would no longer protect Miss Yi!
Whether the sibling relationship between Young Master Yan and Miss Yi still exists, or whether it has truly been severed as rumored, is of no real concern to anyone.
What everyone cares about is how to get close to Young Master Yan and try to gain some benefits from him.
Over here, the group chatted amiably, while over there, after dealing with the other guests, Wang Wenjie instructed his assistant to push him toward Young Master Yan.
Ever since seeing Yan Shao, Yi Wei had been completely disoriented, as if she had lost her soul. Now, hearing Wang Wenjie's instructions, she finally came to her senses and tried to stop him by pulling on her wheelchair.
“Wenjie…”
Wang Wenjie looked up at her, reached out and patted her hand, gently smiling to comfort her.
"It's okay, I'm here!"
The surrounding guests all looked over. Although Yi Wei felt embarrassed and awkward, she couldn't argue with Wang Wenjie in public, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow him.
When the host wanted to see Young Master Yan, the guests naturally made way for him. Wang Wenjie, holding Yi Wei's hand, was pushed by his assistant to stand before Young Master Yan.
