The guests present were filled with all sorts of thoughts, but on the surface, they did not reveal anything unusual.
Xiao Chengyang continued talking to the old man, and the interaction between the grandfather and grandson seemed no different from usual.
But if you listen carefully, you'll find that it's already full of tension.
However, since they were still at the banquet, both sides took a step back and kept quiet for the time being.
"Ah Cheng, you've really impressed me today."
The old man said expressionlessly.
Xiao Chengyang laughed heartlessly: "You always say that to me. I'm someone you've watched grow up. It's my honor to earn your respect."
"Now you know how to protect your woman; you'll have to work even harder in the future."
Xiao Chengyang's tone remained natural: "She was forced to come here all alone, how could I abandon her?"
The old man's smile remained on his face, but his eyes had turned cold: "Then you should live a good life with her from now on and be a couple who grow old together."
"Thank you for your kind words," Xiao Chengyang replied.
The old man stopped talking, and when he reached out, Fifth Aunt pushed the wheelchair over.
He is old and suffered many injuries when he was young, so he cannot stand for too long.
"Come to the study after the banquet."
Before being pushed away, the old man gave a cold order.
"Okay. Don't worry."
Xiao Chengyang remained smiling, seemingly oblivious to the deeper meaning in the old man's words.
With the old man gone, the public's gaze became even more unrestrained.
They were all staring intently at Xiao Chengyang and Jiang Tian. Standing together, the two really did look like a perfect couple at first glance.
Xiao Chengyang held Jiang Tian's hand tightly, and the smile on his lips never faded.
Meng Guansheng stood at a distance to the side.
Xiao Chengyang is here. If he gets too close, it will give reporters an opportunity.
He didn't want to make things worse for today's troubles.
Xiao Chengyang publicly expressed his stance and protected Jiang Tian, so at least until the banquet ended, Meng Guansheng didn't need to worry about her safety.
But Meng Guansheng kept watching them from afar, his gaze not daring to shift even slightly.
Xiao Chengyang casually patted Jiang Tian's hair, his tone tinged with apology: "Were you scared?"
Only Jiang Tian could hear his voice, and the two looked very affectionate.
Jiang Tian let him hold her hand, her tone calm: "I'm already here, what's the point of saying all this now?"
"You still know how to complain about him?" Xiao Chengyang chuckled. "Then you must not have been scared out of your wits."
He gripped Jiang Tian's hand a little tighter: "I'm sorry for dragging you into this."
Jiang Tian said slowly, "If you really have to blame someone, blame me for knocking on your door."
If Jiang Tian hadn't entered Xiao Chengyang's room back then, the two of them would still be living separate lives, with no chance of ever crossing paths again.
Xiao Chengyang was amused by her. He deliberately whispered in Jiang Tian's ear, "That won't do. If we hadn't met, I would be so lonely."
Jiang Tian rolled her eyes at him.
Watching the two flirting and teasing each other, Xiao Chengyu found it extremely irritating.
His parents were ecstatic; they had made plans to have another party after the birthday banquet.
With this move, Xiao Chengyang has essentially withdrawn from the competition for succession.
Xiao Chengyu dared to guarantee that at this very moment, countless people were secretly laughing at Xiao Chengyang for being destined for greatness.
Once he has power, status, and money, what woman can't he get, and what woman won't fall for him?
