Tian Jun smiled lightly, took a deep breath, and inexplicably felt nervous again!
After the car stopped, he got out and opened the door for Chu Nian with great courtesy, saying in a very gentlemanly manner, "Please!"
After the car started, Chu Nian couldn't help but ask, "Young Master Tian, is it mandatory to bring a female companion to the Lu family's banquet this time?"
Tian Jun: "No." He paused for a moment, then added, "I just don't want too much trouble around me. And Miss Chen, you are someone who can help me keep things under control."
Chu Nian smiled faintly and said, "Are you saying this to flatter me?"
Tian Jun: "I'm telling the truth!" It was the truth, but it was also definitely an attempt to please. Tian Jun was even wondering when he had ever felt the urge to please others.
They soon arrived at the Lu family villa.
If Chu Nian remembered the plot correctly, Lin Xinwan should have won Tian Jun's pity at this banquet by appearing pitiful, and thus developed love out of pity.
After parking the car, Tian Jun still diligently opened the car door for Chu Nian. After Chu Nian got out of the car, he even stretched out his bent arm, indicating that she should take his arm. Chu Nian thought that since she was already there, she might as well cooperate, so she generously extended her arm and walked into the banquet hall with Tian Jun.
Upon seeing Tian Jun's arrival, many of the socialites who had been chatting and laughing together in the hall turned to look at the entrance, causing the lively hall to fall silent for a moment. Then, everyone's gaze shifted from Tian Jun to the beautiful woman beside him.
Chu Nian clearly saw that one of the socialites' expressions instantly fell.
So, just how charming is this male lead that he attracts so much attention from so many socialites from excellent backgrounds?
Moreover, it wasn't just these socialites whose expressions changed instantly upon seeing Tian Jun arrive with his female companion; even Mrs. Lu, who was greeting guests on the side, had a darkening expression.
Lu Yaoyao, who was pretty and dressed in a fashionable way, was chatting happily with a group of her peers when her face turned green.
Chu Nian felt that she might become the target of everyone's criticism, but she still maintained a confident and calm smile on her face.
Tian Jun also politely introduced her to Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu who had rushed over: "This is my female companion, Chen Nian."
Lin Xinwan, dressed in a maid's outfit and busy serving tea and water in the hall, had already seen what was happening and was shocked. On one hand, the wealthy young master Tian Jun, who had attracted everyone's attention, was actually the man she had slept with that day; on the other hand, why was Tian Jun bringing Chu Nian with him?
Although Lin Xinwan was dressed as a maid and busy serving many guests, making it obvious that she was a servant of the Lu family, her beautiful face still attracted the attention of many young masters.
Feeling the eager or approving gazes of many handsome and dashing young men, Lin Xinwan felt as if she had become the center of the world, her heart filled with the feeling of being the center of attention.
However, Chu Nian's arrival not only attracted the attention of many socialites who were interested in Tian Jun, but also the attention of many men. The gazes that were on Lin Xinwan were all withdrawn and turned to Chu Nian.
When Lin Xinwan discovered this, her shock inevitably turned into envy, jealousy, and hatred, and she also felt quite disappointed.
She didn't understand. Even if Chen Nian wasn't married, she was still a woman in her thirties. How could she compare to her, a woman in her early twenties who had just graduated from university?
Are all these young masters blind?
She was so focused on glaring at Chu Nian with hatred and resentment that she forgot about Lu Yaoyao, who had disliked her ever since she entered the Lu family villa.
Lu Yaoyao noticed her unusual behavior. She was already annoyed when she saw Tian Jun walk in with a female companion, so she walked over and pretended to raise her hand to rub her forehead. However, she accidentally bumped into the tray that Lin Xinwan was carrying.
Lin Xinwan's attention wasn't on her work to begin with, and with that touch, the tray tipped over to the ground, and the expensive wine glasses on it crashed to the floor, spilling their valuable red wine all over the place.
Everyone's attention was drawn to the commotion.
Lin Xinwan became the center of attention again, but this time she gasped in shock: the wine and glasses were very expensive, and she would lose a lot of money if she bought a dozen of them.
She didn't believe Lu Yaoyao would refuse to make her pay compensation.
Lu Yaoyao was looking for a place to vent her anger, and she immediately seized the opportunity to scold Lin Xinwan, frowning and saying, "Hey, Lin Xinwan, what's wrong with you? You can't even carry things properly!"
"I...I...I..." Lin Xinwan immediately put on a helpless and pitiful look, which immediately earned her a bunch of starry eyes from the men.
Seeing this, Lu Yaoyao became even angrier. She regretted picking a fight and quickly said, "Alright, alright, hurry up and pack up, don't let others laugh at us." Her tone was much better than before.
Lin Xinwan was a little disappointed. Why wasn't Lu Yaoyao as domineering as before?
However, Lu Yaoyao wasn't stupid. Seeing that her rebuke had successfully garnered countless pitying glances, how could Lu Yaoyao continue to let her succeed?
Lu Yaoyao had already walked towards Tian Jun and Chu Nian.
"Young Master Tian, is this your girlfriend?" she asked with a seemingly generous smile.
Tian Jun: "She can only be considered a female companion, Chen Nian."
Lu Yaoyao smiled, extended her hand to Chu Nian, and said, "Hello, Miss Chen, my name is Lu Yaoyao."
Chu Nian shook hands with her.
Tian Jun suddenly said, "Niannian, you chat with Miss Lu. I have a few business partners over there. I'll go say hello."
Chu Nian nodded generously and smiled, "Go ahead!"
Tian Jun walked away nonchalantly. Chu Nian watched his retreating figure, thinking to herself: Kid, good luck to you. I'm not good at taking the fall for others!
After Tian Jun left, Lu Yaoyao elegantly swirled her red glass, then asked in a low, sinister voice, "Was that woman you that night?"
Chu Nianqi asked, "Which night?"
Lu Yaoyao: "Stop pretending! How was it spending the night with Tian Shao at the Brilliant Shelly that day?"
Chu Nian was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Oh, so you were the one who orchestrated what happened to Young Master Tian that day!"
Lu Yaoyao's eyes flashed with a chilling, wolf-like light as she chuckled and said, "Yes, you should thank me. But I'm not the kind of person who lets others take advantage of me."
Chu Nian moved closer to her and whispered, "You're mistaken. Tian Shao and I are just ordinary friends. The person who spent the night with him that day wasn't me, but Lin Xinwan."
"What?" Lu Yaoyao asked in disbelief, as if struck by lightning.
"Lin Xinwan?" she murmured, her face pale, showing the immense psychological impact Lin Xinwan had had on her. "How could this be?"
