Lu Yunxiao's eyes flashed slightly and he let go of Bai You.
Bai You straightened his dress, which was not even a bit messy, and said to Jian Yichen and Lu Yunxiao: "Thank you, Mr. Lu, Mr. Jian."
Lu Yunxiao's voice was very low, "It's okay."
Jian Yichen looked behind Bai You and asked doubtfully, "Xiao Xi, is there someone behind you? Why are you walking so fast?"
Bai You and Lu Yunxiao were stunned for a moment when they heard Jian Yichen mention Xiaoxi.
How did he call out her nickname so naturally?
When did they become so familiar with each other?
Bai You felt uncomfortable and embarrassed. She smiled stiffly and answered Jian Yichen's question.
"nothing."
Seeing her discomfort, Lu Yunxiao's eyes darkened and he said to Jian Yichen: "Let's go, the party is about to begin."
Jian Yichen didn't want to leave and wanted to say something, but Lu Yunxiao had already put his arm around his shoulders and led him inside.
Watching Jian Yichen and Lu Yunxiao leave, Bai You breathed a sigh of relief.
From now on, she would never come to such places again, no matter how hard she tried. She would also not go to any place where she might run into them.
The banquet officially began after everyone arrived.
Yu Yan's father appeared on the banquet stage with Yu Yan, who was wearing a haute couture evening gown.
The initial words were very official, briefly stating the original intention of holding this banquet.
Then, he formally introduced Yu Yan to everyone.
"I lived abroad a few years ago and have never been back to China. I have just arrived in China. If there is anything wrong, please forgive me."
The richest man was just being polite when he said this. The girls from their Yu family were of extraordinary status.
Someone must have picked up on this topic.
"Mr. Yu, you're joking. Your daughter is naturally very outstanding. You should let your daughters learn from your daughter."
Mr. Yu liked to hear this and burst into laughter.
Bai You, hiding in the crowd with the juice in her hand, felt extremely uncomfortable. She really disliked this atmosphere.
To be precise, it is... disgust.
Lu Yunxiao glanced at Bai You and then looked away.
Besides Bai You, there is another person who doesn't like this kind of occasion, Yu Yan.
She accompanied her father through the formalities and then planned to leave.
Yu Yan's father seemed to have something else to say, still holding the microphone, saying: "Besides welcoming my daughter today, I have something else to announce."
Yu Yan frowned and pulled her father, "Dad, what are you doing?"
Yu Yan's words were ignored.
Her father continued to hold the microphone and said, "My daughter is 23 years old this year and has reached the age of marriage. I am an old friend of the Si family. We have a son and a daughter, and they are both single. I have discussed it with Mr. Si and have arranged marriages for these two children."
Yu Yan simply couldn't believe that her father would do this. He had clearly told them that she did not agree with this marriage, so why did he still insist on announcing it?
Subconsciously, I looked at the crowd.
Si Youli was standing in the audience with a very innocent little girl. His face was extremely dark.
His fists were clenched tightly, as if he was trying hard to endure something, while the girl next to him had a smile on her face.
Yu Yan's face turned pale, and he subconsciously wanted to grab the microphone and end this farce.
But before her hand touched the microphone, she was pulled away by her father.
Jian Yichen looked at the empty stage with a confused look on his face. He patted Lu Yunxiao's arm and asked, "No, what's going on?"
Lu Yunxiao took a sip of the wine in his glass without even looking at Jian Yichen, "It's just as you heard."
