The group of people suddenly became confused and whimpering, like embarrassed little quails whose feathers were wet by a sudden rainstorm. There was no trace of their domineering and pampered look just now.

Sheng Yuan chuckled and couldn't hold it in any longer, laughing so hard that her shoulders were shaking.

The daughters all looked up, their faces bewildered.

Sheng Yuan laughed enough, stood up from the armchair, stretched, and sneered: "A bunch of cowards."

"It's just a joke, how can you be so scared?"

As she spoke, she moved her thumb and deleted the recording in front of them. Then she lifted her skirt and walked to the center of the banquet hall with light movements, as if she had not left a trace of wind.

“…”

They stared blankly at the girl's graceful back as she walked away, and realized they had been tricked.

Various colors floated across everyone's face as if a paint palette had been overturned.

Damn, I'm so angry:) * As soon as the girl stepped into the bright lights in the center of the banquet hall, it was like a touch of bright color that could not be ignored breaking into the darkness.

In an instant, it caught the attention of everyone in the venue, especially the opposite sex.

A sloppy-looking young man near the bar suddenly spit out a mouthful of wine, a little bit unable to believe his eyes: "This, this is Sheng Yuan?!"

"Shit! I almost didn't recognize you!"

The person next to him had the same surprise in his eyes, and immediately responded with a teasing tone: "Want a bet?"

"Betting on how long she can last without coming to us."

The five or six men near the bar were all Shi Xuan's good friends, and Sheng Yuan had often courted them.

The man became interested: "What are you betting on?"

"How about that new sports car you just bought? I'll bet on it for five minutes."

"Fuck! It looks like you've been eyeing my car for a long time! Fine, I'll bet you three minutes. You think too highly of her. Three minutes is more than enough."

“…”

Xia Xicheng, who was at the edge, rolled his eyes after hearing this.

Idiot.

A bunch of idiots whose internet speed is slower than 1G.

Sheng Yuan has disliked Brother Shi Xuan for a long time. Well, no, it should be said that she has ignored him for a long time.

Too many images flashed through his mind—all of them were of Sheng Yuan secretly protecting Shi Yan.

Putting it all together, he finally came to a conclusion.

Then I realized belatedly how stupid I was for calling Sheng Yuan "Brother Shi Xuan" all the time on the variety show!

No wonder! No wonder Sheng Yuan always looked at him as if he was mentally retarded! Wasn't he mentally retarded?

Oh shit.

Thinking of this, Xia Xicheng couldn't help but swear again.

Someone exclaimed, "Look! Look! She's really coming this way!"

Xia Xicheng was stunned and immediately looked up.

The girl was indeed walking towards this side, the gold threads on her skirt reflecting tiny rays of light on her slender waist, and she was getting closer and closer.

"Fuck, I really can't last more than three minutes."

"Hahaha, Lao Liu, it looks like your car has to belong to me - er."

However, before the man could finish his excited words, he watched the girl pass by.

And he didn't even glance over at them. It wasn't that he was ignoring them, but it was as if he didn't see them at all.

“…”

"What the hell?"

At the spiral staircase, the mayor was escorted down by a crowd of people.

A capable middle-aged man dressed in formal attire, with his hair combed up with hair wax, has a joyful look on his face on his birthday.

After seeing Sheng Yuan, he immediately showed a surprised expression, walked quickly forward and stretched out his hand.

"Miss Sheng, I have been waiting for you for a long time. It is such an honor for you to come."

Sheng Yuan politely returned the handshake and smiled, "You're welcome. My father was on a business trip and couldn't be here, so he asked me to wish you a long and healthy life."

"I will definitely bring it to you."

The mayor cheerfully introduced Sheng Yuan to the people around him: "This is Mr. Sheng's daughter."

The two words "Mr. Sheng" instantly made the people around her look at the girl seriously, and their expressions immediately became more respectful.

After a few pleasantries, Sheng Yuan's phone rang.

Zizi: [Five minutes.]

Sheng Yuan: "Sorry, I have something to do. I have to excuse myself for a moment."

"Miss Sheng, please go ahead."

So the people at the bar watched the girl walk away, and then watched her come back, holding up her skirt, obviously going to meet someone outside the door.

One of them uttered a click of the tongue and could no longer hold back, intending to step forward and take the initiative to talk to Sheng Yuan.

But after taking two steps, before she could get close, she was stopped by a bodyguard who appeared out of nowhere: "Sorry, our young lady doesn't accept strangers to chat up."

"Fuck! I'm not a stranger! I'm Brother Shixuan's friend."

The bodyguard had a cold expression on his face, but still didn't move away: "Oh, not very familiar, I don't know him."

“…”

* At night, the corridor outside the banquet hall was brightly lit, the floor was covered with thick carpets of extraordinary material, and the air was filled with rich and precious fragrance.

Sheng Yuan stood outside an elevator, looking forward to it.

The next moment, the elevator door indicated that the floor had been reached. The elevator door opened and a pair of shiny leather shoes stepped out steadily.

When she saw the face of the person coming, the light in the girl's eyes went out instantly like a desk lamp.

Shi Xuan did not miss the disappointment in Sheng Yuan's eyes, and his deep and handsome eyebrows unconsciously frowned again.

Gu Yun followed Shi Xuan out. She was wearing a bright haute couture dress, sexy long curly hair, and a small handbag. Her whole body exuded a sense of exquisiteness that was carefully designed. She took a few steps forward and just as she put her arm around Shi Xuan's arm, she saw Sheng Yuan outside.

Instinctively, she tightened her grip a little, her eyes widened: "Sheng Yuan?"

Sheng Yuan ignored her and looked past the two of them and continued to look behind them.

Gu Yun asked vigilantly: "Why are you here! Are you here again--"

So annoying.

So annoying.

Why are you like a mosquito, endless? The girl's fair face was full of impatience, and her tone was very bad: "Why can't I be here? I should be the one asking you, why are you here?"

"As far as I know, you won't receive an invitation to the party."

Sheng Yuan asked the question even though she knew the answer. Gu Yun was definitely not qualified to be invited. She came as Shi Xuan's female companion.

Sheng Yuan didn't want to embarrass Gu Yun, and didn't want to pay any attention to her at all, but this person kept coming up to her to try to make her presence felt.

Very annoying.

Gu Yun’s face turned pale for a moment, she bit her lip in embarrassment, and looked at Shi Xuan as if she had suffered a great injustice.

Shi Xuan didn't look at him, but stared at the girl in front of him with his deep eyes.

Gu Yun's heart skipped a beat.

Why? In the past, Shi Xuan always defended himself in front of Sheng Yuan, but now he didn't say a word.

After a few seconds, Shi Xuan withdrew his gaze, said nothing, and led Gu Yun into the banquet hall with a cold face.

Five minutes later, the elevator door opened again.

The person Sheng Yuan was waiting for arrived.

I'm used to seeing young boys always wearing clean white shirts and black trousers.

This was the first time Sheng Yuan saw Shi Yan like this.

I have something to do today, and I will update again later, muah.
