The 藺 family.

The luxurious crystal chandeliers cast a dazzling light throughout the banquet hall. Young and handsome waiters in high-end tuxedos, holding champagnes, walked briskly among the guests.

The guests were dressed in formal attire, holding bottles of champagne in their hands, and chatting and laughing.

Especially those guests who came to the family banquet for the first time were very excited and looked around curiously. At the same time, they tried to search the crowd to see if there were any connections they could make.

After all, this is a rare opportunity!

There were also some guests who seemed to be doing serious business on the surface, but were actually discussing gossip loudly.

"This time, the family invited almost all the wealthy families. I don't know why... This has never happened before! It's really strange."

"Who among us can guess what the Lai family is thinking? Just like the person in power in the Lai family legend, how many people in the entire imperial capital have seen him? Sometimes I even wonder if that person in power has already..."

"Hmph... Do you want to live? How dare you curse that person! Although the Lu family is low-key, it doesn't mean they don't have a temper!"

The air was quiet for a second.

Not long after, the discussion started again.

"I've said it, let's talk about something else... Recently, there's been a lot of gossip in our wealthy family circle! Have you eaten it all?"

"Oh, who could know this? It's all over the place! I never thought that such a bloody incident like real and fake gold would happen! The Yan family is really keeping it a secret. If it was exposed on the Internet, we wouldn't know it now!"

"By the way, that Zhen Jin seems to be a female celebrity?"

"That's right! And it was Huo Yanchen who openly pursued her! I thought she was kept by Huo Yanchen, but it turned out to be the real money of the Yan family! Tsk, tsk, tsk... But now, it seems that the two of them have parted ways?"

Everyone sighed for a while.

Then someone else took the lead.

"All of this is nothing. The most shocking thing is the murder case!"

"Who said it was true? After all, after being a rich man's benefactor for more than 20 years, who could stand being told that their identity was fake? But it would be too much to treat a real benefactor like that. He is an innocent victim!"

"Hey, you guys think, are the Yan family crazy? The fake Jin almost killed the real Jin, and they are still protecting the fake Jin! If it was a marketing account that broke the news, who knows when the real Jin would reveal his identity! They are really biased!"

"The real Jin is so pitiful! He was harmed so badly by the fake Jin, but he still saw his family members defending the fake Jin. It is reasonable to suspect that they were brainwashed! However, it is quite unexpected that the fake Jin surrendered himself... But it is also possible that it is like what netizens said, in order to fight for a reduced sentence!"

"Look, that's Huo Yanchen over there! Speaking of which, he should be the person who knows the relevant situation best besides the Yan family, right? If you want, go ask him?"

"Come on, that's Huo Xiao! Besides the Luo family, the most powerful Huo family is Huo Xiao! I haven't even spoken a few words to him!"

Several people talked to each other for a while, and finally, they came to Huo Yanchen together, putting on eager and flattering smiles.

"Huo Xiao, have you heard about what happened to the Yan family recently?"

Huo Yanchen raised his eyelids, glanced at the busybodies in front of him, and nodded.

Wait, this is it.

After brewing some emotions, Huo Yanchen opened up: "It turns out that my relationship with the Yan family is very wrong. This is known to all the wealthy families in the imperial capital. Later, I also met Yan Fangwei——"

"At that time, I knew that Yan Fangwei was the daughter of the Yan family, and I had a good impression of her. I also participated in the love variety show because of her. After knowing her true identity, I felt that I had a good relationship with the Yan family."

"But then—"

Several people listened with great interest.

When he heard the turning point, his spirits perked up and he pricked up his ears even more.

Seeing this, others pretended to pass by casually, wanting to listen in. Seeing that more and more people were doing this, they simply pretended to be like that, and gathered around openly, waiting eagerly for Huo Yanchen to continue.

"I found that the Yan family is just like what I imagined... Yan Zhiyu has done so many wrong things and even violated the law, but they don't care at all and even want to protect her——"

"Including Yan Fangwei."

"At first, I wanted to persuade them to turn back from their wrong path, but it was no use. Yan Fangwei even quarreled with me because of Yan Zhiyu."

"Yan Zhiyu saw that I only liked her and wanted the Yan family to send her to jail, so she started to target me in various ways--"

"It was only the last few episodes of the dating variety show. You guys watched it a few days ago. She even slandered me on the live broadcast! How ridiculous!"

At this time, almost everyone in the banquet hall crowded over.

After all, among all the wealthy families in the imperial capital, the Huo family is the most powerful, except for the Huo family, which is superior in status and power. You can't miss the gossip about the Huo family.

"I saw how obsessed they were, so I finally chose to break up with Yan Fangwei and cut off all ties with Yan's family. Yan Fangwei still wanted to be with me and begged me several times, but I flatly refused."

"Because I, Huo Yanchen, would never do such a thing and go along with others!"

After Huo Yanchen finished speaking, everyone looked at each other.

"So that's how it is... It's so strange, I haven't seen Huo Xiaoyan's family hanging out recently!"

"Well done, Huo! When I saw the Yan family cut off ties with the evil Zhou family, I thought they had a very positive outlook... It turns out that they are not good people either!"

"How foolish... Yan Fangwei is really foolish! Where can you find a man like Huo 꿁? But for Huo 꿁, it's too easy to find someone better than Yan Fangwei!"

Hearing the praises coming from all around, as well as the scoldings towards the Yan family, Huo Yanchen's lips curled up slightly.

At this moment, someone in the crowd suddenly muttered something.

"If I remember correctly, Huo was quite ambiguous with Yan Zhiyu before, right? How come he suddenly started to like Yan Fangwei? And it's so strange. Both of them are rich children of the Yan family, but one is real and the other is fake——"

Before the words were finished, someone immediately refuted them.

"What are you talking about! Didn't Huo Xiao just say that? When I met Yan Fangwei, I knew what she was really like! Besides, this is Huo Xiao! Compared with the Huo family, what is the Yan family? What is there for Huo Xiao to plot against? It's really funny!"

"People like Yan Zhiyu and Yan Fangwei are worthy of Huo 꿁! They just didn't cherish it and seized the opportunity!"

Many people expressed their agreement and complimented Huo Yanchen.

Most of the people in the wealthy family are smart people. Who wants to show up in front of Huo Xiao? If they say so, they will definitely win Huo Xiao's favor and climb up the big tree of the Huo family!

At this time, another sentence came from the crowd——

"Who is that next to Huo? Could it be her new love?"

Gao Sirong immediately straightened his back, looked at the man beside him expectantly, and leaned forward intimately.

For today's banquet, she had spent a lot of money on beauty treatments, dressed up carefully, and put on her most expensive dress.

When she first came in, she was so shocked that she closed her mouth!

She originally thought that the Huo family was already rich enough, but she didn't expect that the Li family was even richer! It was the most luxurious and magnificent thing she imagined! And the level of the banquet here was something she had never dared to imagine before!

This made her more determined to marry into a wealthy family.

After going to the bathroom, she walked around the banquet hall, confident that her beauty would attract everyone's attention, but no one noticed her at all.

She naturally agreed and tried to take the initiative again.

But those young men ignored her and chatted with her, and even looked at her straight in the eye. This made her feel very embarrassed, so she had to return to Huo Yanchen in shame.

Huo Yanchen didn't even look at Gao Sirong, drank the champagne, and said lightly: "This is my assistant."

After coming here, Gao Sirong's thoughts and actions did not escape my eyes. Although I was almost the same, my disgust for Gao Sirong increased a little.

Gao Sirong's smile suddenly froze on her face.

She took several deep breaths to hold herself back and not show it in public.

The onlookers looked at each other.

Assistant what...

Although everyone knew it, as long as Huo Yanchen said so, the identity of the woman in front of him could only be an assistant.

However, whether compared with Yan Fangwei or Yan Zhiyu, she was far inferior, and it was no wonder that Huo Yanchen only gave her such an ambiguous identity as an assistant.

At this time, someone changed the subject——

"The banquet is about to start, why haven't we seen the Yan family yet? Do you think they will come?"

Someone snorted disdainfully.

"Come? How is that possible? All the wealthy families in the capital are gathered here today. If you come like this, wouldn't that be embarrassing? Now, everyone knows about the Yan family's mess!"

"I also think you may come, unless you want to get yourself into trouble! Protecting a murderer is a complete violation of morality. You should be spurned by everyone!"

"That's right, how could the Yan family come?"
