Tong Xiaohuai thought for a moment and answered truthfully.
"He's really amazing. There are so many things I don't understand, and he's the one who taught me. We rarely have awkward silences when we're together, so I guess you could say we have something in common?"
Tong Xiaohuai's first relationship was incomparable.
In short, she felt that Yanbo treated her very well. The reason why she and Yanbo could get along so well was probably because he was particularly tolerant and considerate towards her. Therefore, there were very few awkward situations between them.
Upon hearing this, Tao Jia realized that Tong Xiaohuai had misunderstood her meaning.
"No, I'm not specifically referring to academic knowledge, but rather, it seems like you and he are from different circles, right?"
Tao Jia has had two relationships, but each time it ended because of the vast difference in their backgrounds and serious differences in their values, leaving them with very little in common.
Therefore, she was now eager to learn from Tong Xiaohuai, wanting to see how the two of them usually got along well.
Tong Xiaohuai was stunned again. For a moment, she thought Tao Jia had come to sow discord.
But looking at Tao Jia's expression, she seemed serious and full of curiosity, and didn't seem to be there to provoke him.
Furthermore, Yan Bo also stated that he and Tao Jia are good friends and there is absolutely no other ambiguous relationship between them. Therefore, Tao Jia has no reason or position to provoke her.
Even so, Tong Xiaohuai still didn't quite understand Tao Jia's words.
"Circles? What circles?"
The fact that Tong Xiaohuai was able to take on such a heavy responsibility for the Tong family without causing any major trouble shows that she is actually very tactful and considerate in her dealings with people.
Because Tao Jia is Yan Bo's good friend, she appears with her most genuine and unguarded self.
Therefore, if Yan Bo really brought her to his friends or business partners, she would definitely be able to handle the situation with ease.
Tao Jia looked at her incredulously, "That circle of scions of prominent families in Beijing! He hasn't introduced you to it yet, has he?"
Tong Xiaohuai had heard the term "scions of prominent families" from Tao Jia's mouth several times today. She hadn't paid much attention to it before, but now she couldn't help but care.
"The circle of scions of prominent families? He certainly hasn't introduced me to any of them. What kind of people are in there?"
Tao Jia was also brainless, only wanting to learn from the experience, but she didn't realize that Yan Bo cared so much about Tong Xiaohuai, but Tong Xiaohuai knew very little about Yan Bo's illustrious background. It wasn't because Yan Bo forgot to mention it, but because he hadn't found a suitable opportunity to do so yet.
Or rather, Yan Bo knew perfectly well that it wasn't the right time for him and Tong Xiaohuai to drop such a huge bombshell.
"Who are they? First of all, Yan Bo and his two brothers and sister are basically the absolute leaders in our circle. Whether it's their parents' power or achievements, the Yan family is at the very top. So, as long as Yan Bo and his two brothers are around, everyone else is just a follower. But don't underestimate these followers; they're full of cunning and malicious people. Especially Yan Bo and his older brother, they're the most sought-after male gods in our circle. If you really meet them with Yan Bo, you'd better be on your guard."
Tao Jia didn't notice that Tong Xiaohuai looked very serious and even patted his chest to make a very loyal promise.
"Of course, if I'm here, I will definitely protect you."
Tong Xiaohuai was stunned and remained silent for a long time.
His mind was filled with the horrifying information revealed in Tao Jia's words.
scions of prominent families...
The Yan family of the capital...
The absolute leader...
The power and achievements of our parents...
The very top layer...
Individually, these pieces of information might not seem like much, but if all these halos are stacked on Yan Bo's head, then the halo above his head is enough to shine from the capital to L City, thousands of miles away!
No wonder, this twenty-year-old young man from out of town, who parachuted into L City to set up some kind of company, is addressed respectfully as "Young Master Yan" by those usually arrogant scions of wealthy families!
Therefore, he was not the ordinary son of an official family that she had always thought he was; he was the third young master of the famous Yan family in the capital!
Tong Xiaohuai bit her lip, suppressing the shock in her heart. After piecing together Tao Jia's words and all the bits and pieces that had happened since she met Yan Bo, she could finally be sure that Yan Bo was the third young master of the Yan family!
Realizing the truth, Tong Xiaohuai's palms grew cold, but a tiny voice rose in her heart: "Perhaps you guessed wrong?"
Tong Xiaohuai took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down, and reached out to tug at Tao Jia's arm, "Jiajia..."
"Hmm?" Only then did Tao Jia vaguely notice Tong Xiaohuai's unusual behavior.
"The Yan family you're referring to, is it that particular Yan family?"
Tao Jia has answered similar questions countless times throughout her life.
Because many people have the same doubts when they first hear about Yan Bo's identity.
She nodded. "Yes, it's the Yan family in Beijing. Uncle Yan is the one we often see on the news. Isn't that shocking?"
Tao Jia was even a little smug, because she usually acted this way in front of others.
Then, she saw Tong Xiaohuai's serious expression, her head down, biting her lip, seemingly lost in thought, and her heart skipped a beat.
"Xiao Huai, were you scared?"
Weren't you scared?
How is that possible?
She was terrified!
However, how could she possibly reveal her timidity and complex emotions to others?
Tong Xiaohuai took a deep breath, looked up and met Tao Jia's gaze, forcing a rather forced smile.
"No, how could I be scared? This is a good thing, isn't it?"
Tong Xiaohuai shook her head, denying Tao Jia's guess. At the same time, she also tried to convince herself.
Yes, this is fantastic news!
My boyfriend is the young master of such an extraordinary family, how wonderful that is!
However, this truth cast a shadow over her heart.
Given the indescribable feelings she was experiencing at that moment, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the truth was like a thunderbolt!
But all of this is between her and Yan Bo, and has nothing to do with Tao Jia, so there's nothing to say about it.
"Yes, it's definitely a good thing. The Yan family is so prestigious and unapproachable! Who wouldn't want to be related to them? Let alone ordinary families, even a prestigious family like ours would be doing well if we could form a marriage alliance with the Yan family."
What Tao Jia said was indeed the truth.
But she didn't consider what those words meant to Tong Xiaohuai.
Tong Xiaohuai stammered in response, "Yes, indeed. Throughout the country, how many families can be considered not to be marrying above their station compared to the Yan family?"
After all, right now, the only family that can rival the Yan family is the Lu family of the capital.
However, the Lu family and the Yan family are secretly mortal enemies, so it's practically impossible for the Yan family to find an equal in-law.
