Tian Jun gave a mocking sneer: What's the meaning of coming all this way to say hello?
Chu Nian said, "Young Master Tian, what kind of attitude is this? It's as if Xin Wan deliberately came here to wait for you to appear."
"Shut up!" Tian Jun snapped. He was kicking himself; he'd brought this woman here hoping she'd help him avoid a lot of trouble. Now, look what happened—this woman's come and caused trouble right away.
Chu Nian: "So fierce? I'm so scared!"
Tian Jun's lips twitched. For some reason, when he saw the woman opposite him clutching her heart and making a scared gesture, he was not angry at all. Instead, he found it very interesting and almost laughed out loud.
But how could he laugh now? Lin Xinwan was still there, and he didn't want her to think he was easy to approach. Some people are easily swayed by a little kindness, and he was afraid of causing trouble later.
So he forced himself to remain calm and composed, which allowed him to maintain his stiff and cold expression.
However, the smile in his eyes did not escape the sensitive Lin Xinwan, which made her feel a little hurt. She lowered her head sadly and self-consciously. The three of them were speechless for a moment. Although there was music and laughter around them, it was inexplicably quiet, and the atmosphere was even more awkward than before.
Just then, Chu Nian noticed that someone else had come to the door, and it was someone she recognized.
Seeing her looking towards the door, Lin Xinwan quickly followed her gaze out of curiosity—hoping to ease the awkwardness. Unexpectedly, what she saw made her feel even worse: was she seeing things? How could Tang Zhi, a newly risen, barely-known tycoon, be able to attend such a banquet hosted by an elite, wealthy family?
Chu Nian was quite surprised to see Tang Zhi walk in, dressed in a sharp suit. In the original story, this scumbag hadn't attended today's banquet. He'd tried desperately to get in, but after all his efforts, he couldn't obtain an invitation.
However, this time he did find a like-minded companion. When the original owner was alive, this companion was Chen Nian's companion. It was through him that Chen Nian obtained the banquet invitation, which enabled her to meet and start dating Lu Yaoyao.
This man's name is Zhao Yang, and he is Chen Nian's boss. When Chen Nian was around, Zhao Yang did manage to get two invitations, which gave him the opportunity to bring Chen Nian to broaden her horizons. But now that Chen Nian has resigned, Zhao Yang naturally can't bring her along anymore, leaving one invitation vacant. Unexpectedly, Tang Zhi found an opportunity to use it.
Tang Zhi's gaze first fell on Chu Nian's face and he was stunned for a moment. Then, he was overjoyed and wanted to come over, but was stopped in time by Zhao Yang, who was just as tall and handsome as him.
Unfortunately, these two eligible bachelors, who were tall, handsome, rich, and powerful in the eyes of outsiders, completely lost their charm here and became the kind of people who would be hard to spot in a crowd.
When Zhao Yang pulled Tang Zhi, he also saw Chu Nian and was taken aback. He was obviously surprised, but he didn't lose his composure like Tang Zhi. Instead, he smiled and nodded at Chu Nian, and then pulled Tang Zhi in another direction: there, they should have met their business partners there.
Tang Zhi was just about to be pulled away when he saw Lin Xinwan, and he was startled again; then he turned his head and saw Tian Jun staring at him as if his face had been frozen, which immediately made him look horrified.
Fortunately, Zhao Yang pulled him away... Chu Nian almost burst out laughing when she saw his face change like a mask, with such a rich array of expressions.
Tian Jun said, "If I remember correctly, the gentleman who just came in was Miss Lin's boyfriend, right?" As he spoke, he looked at Lin Xinwan with a deep gaze.
Chu Nianshen thought that this Tian Jun was even more capable of causing trouble than she was!
Lin Xinwan's face twitched several times before she managed a weak smile and said, "You've misunderstood. He's Chen Nian's boyfriend." She then quickly looked at Chu Nian.
"Oh?" Tian Jun turned to look at Chu Nian suspiciously, then said to Lin Xinwan, "But last time at Brilliant Shelly, the Mr. Tang I saw was holding you, not our Nian Nian!"
Chu Nian got goosebumps when he called her "our Nian Nian". First, it made her feel uncomfortable that he was calling her that. Second, Lu Yaoyao was probably calming down and was walking over when she heard what Tian Jun said.
They're calling each other so affectionately...
Chu Nian quickly said, "Young Master Tian, if you call me that, it's easy for others to misunderstand!" As she finished speaking, her eyes narrowed into slits with a smile.
However, Tian Jun strangely saw a sinister meaning in her narrowed eyes, as if he would be in big trouble if he didn't take immediate action to correct the "misunderstanding" she mentioned.
Tian Jun coughed lightly, feeling guilty, and quickly composed himself. He felt that he, a grown man, couldn't let a woman's aura overpower him. So, he suppressed the inexplicable feeling rising in his heart and continued to Lin Xinwan, "I also heard that when our Niannian was dating that Mr. Tang, you always tried to interfere. You were always stuck in the middle of their dates..."
Lin Xinwan immediately looked aggrieved, her eyes brimming with tears, and said, "What, did Sister Chen Nian tell you all of this?"
Seeing Lu Yaoyao getting closer and closer, and her face growing increasingly grim because of Tian Jun's words, Chu Nian said, "Young Master Tian, what's with this jealous look? I can smell a sour smell on you. Are you jealous?" She then quickly turned to Lin Xinwan and said, "Xinwan, it seems Young Master Tian has always had feelings for you..."
Because her back was to Lu Yaoyao, Lin Xinwan was completely unaware that Lu Yaoyao was approaching like a venomous snake. Upon hearing Chu Nian's words, she was overjoyed. Her voice, which had been filled with grievance just moments before, now contained a hint of delight. She even put on an innocent and naive expression, blinking her big eyes as she asked, "Really?"
Tian Jun, who had just seen Chu Nian blink her big eyes several times: ...
He unconsciously turned to look at Chu Nian: There is no truth without comparison. When it comes to acting skills, these two women are not even in the same league!
To his speechlessness, Chu Nian also blinked her big eyes at this moment, her eyelashes fluttering, looking so innocent and pure!
Then Chu Nian asked him in a rather naive way, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Tian Jun was speechless, put his hands in his pockets and turned to look at the ceiling on one side: Could someone tell him why this woman is so dramatic?
Lu Yaoyao had already reached her, her heart filled with hatred for Lin Xinwan. Lin Xinwan's tone of voice had betrayed her true intentions: this woman was definitely trying to use her night with Tian Jun to climb the social ladder.
Based on Lu Yaoyao's understanding of Tian Jun, he was indeed a responsible person, not the kind of person who would just leave things as they were done.
But it was clearly her arrangement, yet this woman got the benefit. How could she be willing to accept that?
