A banquet is being held at a manor in the imperial capital.
The luxurious crystal chandeliers reflected the dazzling light, making the entire banquet hall shrouded in a dreamlike and fragmented light. Waiters in tuxedos carried small towers of champagne and shuttled among the crowd.
The guests were all wearing high-end custom-made suits and were chatting and drinking.
"It's really lively tonight. Almost all the wealthy families with status in the capital have shown up, right?"
"Of course! I would fight to attend the banquet held by the Rui family. I am so honored to be invited, how could I not come? By the way, the Rui family manor is really luxurious. Even the chandelier above our heads is an antique from the 1940s, worth eight figures!"
"This is just one of the many manors of the Li family... After all, it is the top of the pyramid of wealth of the wealthy families in the imperial capital!"
"However, although the Lu family holds banquets from time to time, the Lu family has never shown up... After all, that Mr. Lu's legs... What a pity!"
As soon as the Yan family appeared at the door of the banquet hall, they attracted a lot of people's attention.
Although the Yan family is a wealthy family in the imperial capital, and their strength is barely considered upper class, but if it comes to appearance, they are definitely top-notch. Not to mention the four young masters who are still single, even Yan Zhiyu, who chases after Huo Yanchen all day, has many admirers.
Yan Zhiyu wore a gray-pink dress today. The fabric shone with a strange luster like flowing water under the crystal chandelier. Her skin was as white as jade, and her exposed delicate collarbone was particularly eye-catching.
At this moment, she was looking at everything at the banquet with curiosity.
[Wow, this chandelier is so bright, it must be very valuable, right? ]
[The snacks over there look delicious. I'll take one to try later.]
[These ladies and daughters' dresses are all very pretty! But mine is also good, hehehehehe...]
The Yan family members couldn't help but look sideways.
Yan Zhiyu has attended countless banquets since she was a child. But today, it was like the first time she attended one...
Our eyes fell on her smooth forehead again.
The wound from jumping off a building was so deep, but it healed in less than half a month, and there was no scar left. The doctor was amazed during the follow-up consultation. If it weren't for the influence of the Yan family, he would probably want to take Yan Zhiyu directly to the hospital for research.
Yan Yihuan suddenly sighed.
"What a pity. We have never brought Weiwei to a banquet like this before."
Yan Ke and Ji Dongyu also showed a look of guilt.
"Things haven't been dealt with yet, so we have to put up with Weiwei for now. Once Weiwei's identity is revealed, we can bring her to this kind of occasion openly—"
As they were talking, they suddenly realized that Yan Zhiyu was still there, and they couldn't help but regret it.
After all, not long ago, they had said that Yan Zhiyu would go to jail. Would Yan Zhiyu go crazy on the spot after being provoked like this? Since Weiwei returned to the Yan family, Yan Zhiyu often went crazy regardless of the occasion...
What if, what if I didn't listen?
After swallowing their saliva, the three of them looked at Yan Zhiyu hopefully——
I just happened to meet Yan Zhiyu's gaze as she was looking at us.
She obviously listened.
Just when their scalps were tingling and they were ready to drag Yan Zhiyu out at any time——
[Ah, my sister is so miserable... Although she has returned to the Yan family, the things that happened to her after she was stolen and replaced by someone else will never happen again. Now, because they are afraid that I will go crazy, my parents haven't even revealed her identity yet...]
[However, when I go to jail, Sister can show up as the daughter of the Yan family without any scruples——]
[Actually, it is possible now. ]
[This originally belonged to my sister. I should have returned it long ago. ]
Her eyes were even sparkling, full of anticipation, as if she was not the one going to jail.
Just as the Yan family was stunned, someone came over.
"Aunt Yan, Uncle Ji——"
It’s Huo Yanchen.
놛I wore a dark suit today and my black leather shoes were polished to a shine, reflecting the white light from above.
There were many young ladies around who were secretly looking over here.
Because of the undercover incident with the money bag, the Yan family's attitude towards Huo Yanchen has subtly changed, but after all, it was at a banquet, so Yan Ke finally nodded in response.
"Yanchen, you are here too."
Huo Yanchen's smile froze.
In order to achieve his goal, he not only raped Yan Fangwei, but also raped many members of Yan's family, especially Yan Fangwei's four brothers. He didn't know how much effort he had to put in to gain their approval.
Yan Ke and Ji Dongyu are very good to each other, almost like their own son.
But now...
Why do I feel like their attitudes are somewhat distant?
Is it because of Yan Fangwei?
Since returning that day, Yan Fangwei has not contacted me again. As for the Yan family, we must maintain good relations first.
Otherwise, it's all over.
He smiled again and said with concern, "By the way, I remember that Yihuan had injured his foot before. How is his recovery now? I wanted to go see Yihuan, but I was sick myself, so I didn't go. I've been thinking about him all the time."
After hearing this, Yan Ke, Ji Dongyu and Yan Yihuan's expressions relaxed a little.
After all, it is not certain that Huo Yanchen has any bad intentions towards the Yan family. Previously, Huo Yanchen not only helped the Yan family a lot, but also saved Weiwei's life from Yan Zhiyu.
Yan Yihuan smiled and said, "I'm fine now. I can walk normally. I will be fully recovered in a while. It won't affect the competition later at all...However, are you feeling better now?"
"Thank you for your concern. I'm much better now," Huo Yanchen said, "thanks to Weiwei for taking care of me."
Yan Yihuan was about to say something when Yan Zhiyu suddenly snorted heavily.
[Hey, you still have the nerve to say that! Don’t you have a doctor in your Huo family? If you are sick, why do you go to your sister instead of a doctor? Are you afraid of infection and not giving it to your sister? My sister has been feeling a little uncomfortable these past two days. She must have been sick from that bastard! ]
"......"
Yan Yihuan closed his mouth.
Damn, I forgot about this.
I'm going to be angry.
Hearing the snort, Huo Yanchen turned to look at Yan Zhiyu, and said with a fake smile: "By the way, although Zhiyu has something to do with my illness, I don't intend to blame her. So, uncle and aunt, don't blame her."
This crazy woman Yan Zhiyu obviously likes you, but she keeps setting traps for you...
I am becoming more and more confused.
I don't know why the Yan family hasn't sent her to prison yet. They need to give them some advice.
[Hey, the smell of green tea hits my face! Oh, I did it on purpose, what's wrong? You don't care about your sister's health and play tricks, so of course I have to teach you a lesson! I think this lesson is too light! ]
Yan Ke, Ji Dongyu and Yan Yihuan nodded madly in their hearts.
No matter what, Huo Yanchen was wrong about the money bag! If he really succeeded, Weiwei would be the one who got sick!
"By the way, uncle and aunt——"
Huo Yanchen was about to say something else, but Yan Ke suddenly interrupted him: "Yanchen, we have something else to do, so we won't let you chat any more."
The order to expel him was directly issued on his face.
Huo Yanchen could hardly hold back his smile.
Wasn't the atmosphere good just now? Yan Yihuan was still concerned about me... How come it suddenly changed? Moreover, the attitudes of the Yan family members were even more distant than before!
Although he was very puzzled, he was too embarrassed to stay any longer, so he had to force himself to smile and leave.
......
"Hey, am I seeing things? Why are the Yan family members so cold to Huo Yanchen? Don't they like Huo Yanchen very much? After all, he is their future son-in-law!"
"You are too out of touch with the news. Huo Yanchen can no longer be the son-in-law of the Yan family! He has fallen in love with a female star, I think... her name is Fang Wei!"
"Didn't Yan Zhiyu have a childhood sweetheart? Why do you like someone else?"
"Child marriage? That's all old news! Who has such a thing now? Even though Yan Zhiyu chases Huo Yanchen all day long, the two have never confirmed their relationship!"
After sighing for a while, someone brought up a new topic.
"Someone seems to say that Yan Zhiyu has fallen out of favor? She used to be so domineering in the entertainment industry with the Yan family's background, but now she has no resources... I don't know why. But, after all, she is my biological daughter. Even if she is angry about something, she will be fine after a while."
"Come to think of it, all the children of the Yan family have the surname Yan Ke! Although this situation is not uncommon now, the Yan family did this more than ten years ago, which is considered to be ahead of the times."
"More than ten years ago, do you still remember the Qiao family? They were so prosperous, but suddenly they fell into decline... Although it is not clear what happened, many people say that it has something to do with the Yan family! I heard that the leader of the Qiao family met with the Yan family before he committed suicide!"
"Hush! Keep your voice down! Don't say anything without basis, or you might offend someone! The Qiao family is gone, but the Yan family is still here!"
A few people looked around nervously, and seeing that no one was paying attention to this place, they quickly dispersed.
We didn't notice that there was someone sitting on the sofa not far from us.
Huo Yanchen tightly grasped the champagne glass in his hand, and veins bulged on the back of his hand.
When he raised his eyelids, his eyes were filled with frost.
He sneered, raised his head and drank the champagne in his hand.
"The Yan family..."
......
At this moment, on the other side.
Yan Ke, Ji Dongyu and Yan Yihuan looked at each other and then looked at Yan Zhiyu who still knew nothing about anything.
“Hehehe…Hehehe…”
Huo Yanchen finally left, and now we can start!
