Upon hearing Liu Xiaoyuan's words, Yang Zixuan looked embarrassed and then made an excuse to leave.
Liu Xiaoyuan said to Min Dongqing, "Boss Min, don't worry about me. Go and do your thing. I'm not a child anymore. I can sit here for a while."
Just then, Min Dongqing was about to say hello to his friends. Upon hearing Liu Xiaoyuan's words, he immediately stood up, told Liu Xiaoyuan to sit there by himself for a moment, and then took his wine glass and went over.
Liu Xiaoyuan sat there, utterly bored, and began to regret coming to this lousy party with Min Dongqing. Damn it, he didn't know a single person there and had become nothing more than a spectator watching the show.
Just then, an official arrived. Everyone rushed to greet him, and he instantly became the center of attention, a shining star.
Liu Xiaoyuan was the only one sitting on the sofa, not going forward, which made him seem particularly out of place.
Some people glanced at Liu Xiaoyuan, wondering who he was and why he was putting on such airs.
Taking the opportunity, Yang Zixuan said with a smile, "His name is Liu Xiaoyuan, and he said he's a farmer from the countryside."
Yang Zixuan said this to humiliate Liu Xiaoyuan. Regardless of whether Liu Xiaoyuan was actually a farmer or not, everyone looked at Liu Xiaoyuan as if he were a joke after hearing his words.
Sitting on the sofa, Liu Xiaoyuan heard Yang Zixuan's words clearly but didn't pay them any mind. He was a farmer after all, and there was nothing shameful about farming. He was proud to earn his living with his own hands.
When Min Dongqing heard Yang Zixuan say this, he was immediately displeased, because Liu Xiaoyuan was someone he had brought with him. Yang Zixuan's words were tantamount to slapping Min Dongqing in the face.
Although Min Dongqing felt uncomfortable, he couldn't say anything. After all, there was no need to dwell on this matter in such a setting, lest he give others cause for gossip.
After a few laughs, the crowd changed the subject. Some started currying favor with the officials, while others discussed the sound. Min Dongqing was also having a lively conversation with a friend.
"Murong Yuyan is here! Murong Yuyan is here..." Someone shouted, and everyone's eyes immediately fell on the entrance, waiting for Murong Yuyan's arrival.
Sitting on the sofa, Liu Xiaoyuan never expected to run into Murong Yuyan here. It seems like fate.
Liu Xiaoyuan also turned his gaze to the entrance, waiting for Murong Yuyan to enter.
About half a minute later, Murong Yuyan appeared in Liu Xiaoyuan's sight. Murong Yuyan was wearing a white dress, looking noble and elegant, like a fairy from heaven, untouched by worldly affairs.
Beside Murong Yuyan was a woman whose appearance was comparable to Murong Yuyan's, with delicately drawn eyebrows, bright eyes and white teeth, cherry lips, and long black hair like a waterfall.
The sudden appearance of Murong Yuyan and the stunningly beautiful woman beside her at the party caused an instant uproar, drawing all eyes to the two of them.
As for the female celebrities at the party, they were all naturally unhappy to see Murong Yuyan and her companion stealing their thunder.
Everyone immediately rushed forward, including the officials present.
"Miss Tan, hello! Miss Murong, hello!" Everyone greeted the two of them, but it was clear that everyone's attention was on Miss Tan, who was next to Murong Yuyan.
It seems that this Miss Tan has an extraordinary status. To have the CEOs and officials present fawning over her like this, she must have a powerful background.
Murong Yuyan and Miss Tan were surrounded by everyone like stars around the moon. The two greeted everyone with smiles, but no one left after they finished greeting them. They continued to surround the two of them.
Now, Miss Tan was a little unhappy. Being surrounded by everyone like this made her feel uncomfortable.
"Excuse me, everyone, could you please make way?" Ms. Tan said.
Upon hearing Miss Tan's words and seeing the expression on her face, everyone tactfully dispersed. After the crowd dispersed, Miss Tan pulled Murong Yuyan to find a place to sit down.
Yang Zixuan immediately took his wine glass and walked over to Miss Tan, smiling as he said, "Miss Tan, hello, my name is Yang Zixuan. We should have met before, it was last time at..."
Before Yang Zixuan could finish speaking, Miss Tan interrupted him, saying, "I'm sorry, I don't remember you."
Miss Tan's words immediately embarrassed Yang Zixuan, leaving him speechless.
"Liu Xiaoyuan!" As Murong Yuyan looked around, she spotted Liu Xiaoyuan. Seeing him sitting on the sofa without even greeting her, Murong Yuyan felt indignant. This guy was such a jerk! She was a girl, and he expected her to greet him first. It was infuriating!
Upon seeing that Murong Yuyan knew Liu Xiaoyuan, Yang Zixuan blurted out, "Miss Murong, do you know that farmer?"
As soon as he said those words, Yang Zixuan knew he had made a mistake, but words spoken are like water spilled; there's no going back.
Murong Yuyan glared at Yang Zixuan and said, "How dare you talk like that?"
In Murong Yuyan's view, Yang Zixuan's statement that Liu Xiaoyuan was a farmer was an insult and a humiliation of Liu Xiaoyuan, which is why Murong Yuyan was so angry.
At this moment, Miss Tan, who was next to Murong Yuyan, also glared at Yang Zixuan. This guy was really too impolite. Even if Liu Xiaoyuan was really a farmer, he shouldn't address others like that.
Liu Xiaoyuan smiled and waved at Murong Yuyan, saying with a smile, "Murong Yuyan, what a coincidence!"
Although Liu Xiaoyuan was talking, he remained seated on the sofa without moving and showed no intention of getting up.
Upon seeing this, Miss Tan couldn't help but ask Murong Yuyan, "Yuyan, who is that person? Why is he acting so arrogantly?"
When Miss Tan saw everyone greeting the two of them, Liu Xiaoyuan didn't come. Now that Murong Yuyan has taken the initiative to greet him, he is still sitting on the sofa. Isn't he being a bit too arrogant?
When Yang Zixuan saw that Miss Tan was dissatisfied with Liu Xiaoyuan, he immediately interjected, "Miss Tan, this Liu Xiaoyuan is just a country bumpkin. He doesn't know anything about manners. He's just a boor."
Yang Zixuan thought that if he flattered Miss Tan, Miss Tan wouldn't say anything even if she didn't praise him.
However, to Yang Zixuan's surprise, as soon as he finished speaking, Miss Tan glared at him and said, "Spreading rumors behind other people's backs is the behavior of a petty person."
Yang Zixuan was extremely annoyed upon hearing this, thinking to himself, "I didn't say those things to cater to your tastes, so how did it become me spreading rumors?"
