Chapter 162 Is there any problem?
The rich second generation who was speaking was dumbfounded.
Xie Tinglan, who was in the center of the banquet hall just now, appeared on the other side of the corridor at some point.
Those rich second-generations did not expect Xie Tinglan to suddenly appear and insert himself into their conversation so naturally, which made them not notice it at first and caught off guard for a while.
"Thank you, thank you brother..." They stammered, their faces full of panic and embarrassment after being caught talking behind someone's back.
Xie Tinglan had his usual gentle smile on his face. "What were you talking about just now?"
The smile on Xie Tinglan's face seemed to send the wrong signal to these gossiping rich second-generations. They relaxed in the gentle smile, looked at each other, and suddenly realized:
Right! Why are they panicking?!
They weren't saying bad things about Xie Tinglan! They were talking about Xia Linxing, whom Xie Tinglan already hated! Why were they doing this out of guilt?
The second-generation rich men immediately straightened their backs that had been hunched due to guilt, and approached him with a fawning look on their faces, "Brother Xie, we were just talking about Xia Linxing!"
"Now that the real son of the Xia family has returned, the imposter Xia Linxing no longer has the Xia family's backing. He probably won't bother you, Brother Xie..."
"Right, right, right..." The others quickly nodded in agreement, "Even if Xia Linxing shamelessly wants to come over, Brother Xie, you don't have to worry about the Xia family's reputation and worry about it making things difficult for the family..."
"That's right! Xia Linxing really doesn't know what's good for him. Brother Xie had already rejected him so clearly before, but Xia Linxing still shamelessly chased Brother Xie to participate in that, that, that program... In the end, Brother Xie ignored him and instead found the real young master of the Xia family, hahahaha..."
The sounds of laughter became lively again.
Perhaps because Xie Tinglan had been listening quietly without expressing his opinion, these rich second-generations became more and more relaxed and began to speak more and more without thinking.
"Only Brother Xie, you have a good temper and can tolerate him following you so relentlessly..."
"If you ask me, Xia Linxing shouldn't have participated in that show! It's embarrassing, and it also prevents Brother Xie from doing his job properly..."
"That's right. My dad has invested in an entertainment company. He said those trainees have to train for at least three to five years... Xia Linxing actually went there without knowing anything. She treated that show and Brother Xie's work like a joke..."
"That's right. Xia Linxing can't sing or dance, but she managed to stay on the show until the very last episode. It's obvious she used some tricks to stay on the show..."
"During the recording of the show, Xia Linxing must have caused Brother Xie a lot of trouble..."
"Hehe, after all, he doesn't know anything... I guess he's just slacking off on stage, and it all depends on post-production..."
The rich second generation became more and more excited as they talked, and they didn't notice that the smile on Xie Tinglan's face faded little by little, and his eyes gradually became colder.
"It seems..." Xie Tinglan opened his mouth: "I think none of you have watched that show."
ah?
The rich second generation who were talking excitedly were suddenly interrupted and were stunned.
……programme?
Oh... you mean the one Xia Linxing participated in...
Well, why are they watching that... Even if they want to laugh at Xia Linxing, it's not worth them spending so much time to watch it issue by issue... Who asked this stupid question -
The rich second-generations looked over in the direction of the voice, and then shuddered together at the sight of Xie Tinglan's cold gaze.
What, what happened? What happened? Why did Xie Tinglan's expression suddenly become so terrifying?!
Hadn't they been trying so hard to flatter Xie Tinglan for so long?
The second-generation rich looked at each other and stammered, "I, we didn't, we didn't see it..."
"I didn't watch it..." Xie Tinglan nodded and repeated their words, "Since you didn't watch it, how can you say Xia Linxing was slacking off on the show?"
ah?
The rich second generation were stunned.
What made Xie Tinglan angry...was this?
No, the rich second generation reacted again: Isn’t the most shocking thing... Xie Tinglan was actually talking to Xia Linxing?
Oh my god, what happened while they were away?
"A bunch of idiots..."
Not far away, Ye Zhenzhen, who also came to attend the banquet, glanced at the dumbfounded rich second generations with a mocking look.
She just saw Xie Tinglan walking towards that direction and subconsciously followed him, and happened to see this scene.
She glanced at these people. They were from ordinary families, so they were not invited to her birthday party. They were also unaware of the change in the relationship between Xie Tinglan and Xia Linxing, so that all the flattery was done to the wrong person.
However... hearing Xie Tinglan's tone and attitude, Ye Zhenzhen had given up: Xie Tinglan didn't seem to mind Xia Linxing's identity as a fake young master.
Moreover, judging from the chat content of other people, the return of the real young master seemed to be the work of Xie Tinglan. Therefore, the plot she had expected, "Xie Tinglan changed his attitude towards Xia Linxing after discovering that Xia Linxing was a fake young master," would not appear.
Ye Zhenzhen took a sip of the champagne in her hand and listened to Xie Tinglan's words in defense of Xia Linxing. Suddenly, she felt that this banquet became boring.
The rich second generation are regretting it now.
I regret it very much.
It was the first time they knew that Xie Tinglan was so eloquent!
"If you watch the show carefully, you will find that Xingxing is serious about every stage he performs on. He doesn't go to the show just to have fun."
"Although Xingxing knew nothing at the beginning, he studied very hard. He often practiced until the early morning and only slept three or four hours a day, just to catch up with the other trainees."
"He gives his all on every stage. He is worthy of the stage, his teammates, the audience and the fans who support him."
"Why do you deny all the hard work and dedication of Xing Xing without even watching the show?"
Just as Xie Tinglan finished speaking, Shen Sibai, who was sent by Xia's father to find Xie Tinglan, interrupted and said, "What are you talking about?"
Why did he seem to hear Xia Linxing's name?
"No, nothing... Haha, we're just chatting..."
Even the most slow-witted rich second generation realized that Xia Linxing's situation was a little different from what they thought.
So, facing Xie Tinglan's icy gaze that could make people shiver, they stammered and tried to skip the topic: "Let's just chat casually, just chat casually..."
"Yeah?"
Chen Sibai glanced at the group of rich second-generations who were obviously very embarrassed and guilty, then glanced at Xie Tinglan who had a cold expression. He immediately guessed what they were talking about.
So, he pretended not to know what was going on, glanced at the few people who had been talking the most enthusiastically, and maintained a businesslike smile as he said to this group of rich second-generations in a friendly manner, "Have you seen my brother?"
He pronounced the word "brother" very clearly.
I was afraid that the group of rich second-generations didn’t hear clearly.
Huh? Brother?
The rich second generation looked confused.
Who is that?
"You didn't find the stars either?"
Xie Tinglan took over the conversation naturally, and revealed the answer that Shen Si had said before: "I just looked around the hall, but I couldn't find it..."
"Is that so..." Shen Sibai looked a little distressed, but his words were full of doting on Xia Linxing: "Then Xingxing should be hiding somewhere..."
"That little guy is always like this... He's so small that he can't be found even when he hides..."
"Forget it, if he doesn't want to receive guests, just let him be lazy..."
"Anyway, I will help him in the future..."
Wait… “help”?
As soon as this word came out, the rich second generation, who were already shocked by Shen Sibai calling Xia Linxing "brother" in a familiar manner, were even more stunned.
The word "help" means... could it be...
"Ah, that's what you think..." Chen Sibai seemed to know what they were thinking. He turned his head and looked at them with a smile: "The Xia family originally belonged to Xingxing. As his brother, of course I will help Xingxing..."
His gaze slowly but with pressure swept over the rich second generation present, "Excuse me, do you have any questions?"
