"Thank you, old man. You are here too."
Mr. Shang's originally casual expression suddenly became more serious, his tone became more respectful, and he didn't even dare to look at Xie Jinyan anymore.
Shen Hongyi and Shen Mei had not yet recovered from the applause they had just heard.
At this moment, he turned his head suddenly after hearing what Mr. Shang said.
I don't know when Mr. Xie and a few others appeared behind me, and they both had surprised smiles on their faces.
Shen Hongyi was just about to start a conversation and get closer.
Mr. Xie didn't even glance at the two of them, and walked straight in front of Chen Zhi.
The old man has gray hair. Despite his age, his posture is still straight and his eyes are bright. "The young girl's business sense is really sharp."
Mr. Xie has always been vigorous and resolute in what he does.
He said he wanted to introduce a girl to Xie Youze, and then he came over with his men.
He had just deliberately mentioned Shen Zhi's name in front of Xie Jinyan. The brat pretended to be calm, but got angry when he heard that he wanted to bring Xie Youze over.
Look, look.
That brat's eyes are almost glued to the girl.
But Mr. Xie really didn't expect it. As soon as he arrived, he heard Miss Shen Zhi calmly express her thoughts on human wisdom.
Let’s not talk about whether this plan is perfect.
Her sensitivity and overall view of the situation alone are enough to make many people far behind.
It doesn't look like he comes from a family with shallow roots like the Shen family.
Her way of thinking is more like that of someone who has received the most elite education since childhood. As soon as she opens her mouth, she completely distinguishes herself from ordinary rich girls.
Mr. Xie sighed inwardly, and at the same time, he looked at Shen Zhi calmly.
He had always seen it online before, and just now when Xie Jinyan came in with her, he could only see the tall figure of the girl due to the distance.
This was his first time to come into close contact with Chen Zhi.
He had noticed just now that as soon as he appeared, the expressions of the other three people at the scene changed.
Only Chen Zhi's expression did not change.
When facing his own praise, he remained neither humble nor arrogant.
Xie Youze rarely pays attention to the entertainment industry, but he only learned about this person when Shen Zhi frequently appeared on hot searches and was related to Xie Jinyan.
He also saw the scene where his cousin appeared with her just now.
Therefore, when he heard what his grandfather said, he was actually a little confused.
But seeing the old man desperately winking at him with his back to Xie Jinyan, he quickly understood what was going on. While finding it funny, he was also curious about Xie Jinyan's reaction, so he went along with it and finished the play.
He followed Old Man Xie behind, so naturally he listened to Shen Zhi's words. His eyes fell on Shen Zhi with undisguised admiration.
When Mr. Xie walked towards this side earlier, Shen Zhi withdrew his gaze.
Hearing the old man talking like this, he knew that several people had overheard what he had just said.
Before she could open her mouth to respond, the old man's eyes suddenly passed over her and fell on Mr. Shang, as if he had realized something belatedly: "Look at me, you two seemed to be talking about something just now, I didn't disturb you, did I?"
"How about..." the old man smiled, "Why don't you continue chatting?"
Mr. Shang felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.
How could he dare to stay there? After laughing awkwardly twice, he quickly found an excuse to leave.
Shen Hongyi glanced at the two people behind Mr. Xie, and for a moment he was unsure of his thoughts, "Mr. Xie, why are you here..."
Mr. Xie put his hands behind his back and said calmly, "Nothing, I just wanted to come over——"
"Grandpa." Xie Jinyan interrupted coldly.
"The birthday banquet is about to begin. As the protagonist of the evening, you will have to say a few words. It's time to go back first."
"What's the hurry?"
Old Master Xie glanced at Xie Jinyan's dark face and instantly felt proud and relaxed.
He waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "I just want to chat with young people. How much time can it take? You are in a hurry. Why don't you go back first?"
After saying that, he didn't care about Xie Jinyan and turned his head back.
Smiling, he said to Shen Zhi: "You are Chen Zhi, right? Do you have a partner?"
As soon as these words came out, the air suddenly became quiet.
Chen Zhi blinked slowly, his mind still not wrapping its head around what was going on.
A shadow suddenly fell.
Xie Jinyan didn't know when she came from behind Grandpa Xie, and her tall figure separated her from the others.
The man's voice was slightly cold: "Sorry, I have some work matters to discuss with Shen Zhi, please accompany me."
The moment the words fell, Shen Zhi's wrist was grasped by the man's big hand.
The five slender fingers pressed against her skin without any obstruction, bringing a slight coolness.
Chen Zhi was stunned, and before she even had time to react, the man had already taken her away.
The few people who were left behind had different expressions.
Completely ignored, Shen Mei stared at the backs of the two people as they left, her eyes falling on their hands that seemed to be holding each other, a hint of hatred flashed in her eyes.
The scene of Xie Jinyan taking Chen Zhi away was also seen by Ji's family members not far away.
Ji Chuan suddenly learned from his son that the girl who had just brought him back was his aunt's daughter, Chen Zhi, and he felt complicated.
And when Ji Nan said this, it seemed that Mr. Ji was also there.
Everyone in the Ji family knew that Ji Wanqing and Shen Zhi were both taboos in the Ji family, and for a moment everyone was a little cautious.
Mr. Ji behaved normally.
But when he looked in the direction of the Shen family, his brows were tightly furrowed.
Everyone thought that Mr. Ji was still brooding over what happened back then, and were about to speak to divert his attention.
Old Master Ji's unhappy voice suddenly sounded: "What about the kid from the Xie family?"
Everyone in the Ji family: "?"
…
Xie Jinyan was tall and had long legs, and his one step was several steps higher than Shen Zhi's two steps.
Not to mention that Chen Zhi was wearing a fishtail skirt and high heels, making it even harder for her to keep up.
The man noticed and gradually slowed down his pace.
It was not until the noisy sounds in the banquet hall became farther and farther away that Shen Zhi realized that Xie Jinyan had taken her out of the side door of the banquet hall and walked to the end of the corridor in a few steps.
The man suddenly stopped.
Chen Zhi braked suddenly to avoid crashing into his arms.
"No, Xie Jinyan, what secret do you want to tell me? Why do you have to come here to tell me?"
The man lowered his eyes, with an ambiguous look in them.
After a while, he said "hmm" softly.
Chen Zhi was confused, "What?"
Xie Jinyan leaned over and looked at her at eye level.
Open your lips slowly.
"Your secret."
