Chen Zhi's heart skipped a beat.
As soon as he raised his eyes.
It crashed into the man's bottomless black eyes.
Those eyes seemed to have magical power, as if they could penetrate everything and see into people's hearts.
Chen Zhi's thick eyelashes trembled, and she looked calmly: "Secret? What secrets can I have?"
"Really?"
Xie Jinyan's gaze did not shift, and he leaned forward, unconsciously bringing the two closer together.
The man's voice was low, but the tail tone seemed to contain a hook that kept drilling into her ears.
"But why do I feel like our teacher Shen is full of secrets?"
What did Xie Jinyan mean by suddenly saying this?
Could it be that he noticed something?
When? Just now? Before?
Chen Zhi's mind was working rapidly.
Xie Jinyan saw the flash of regret in his eyes.
The man's eyes darkened, and all his thoughts were quickly concealed.
He changed his tone to a teasing one, and said slowly, "So, the so-called poor students in the past were all pretending, right? Our teacher Shen has been working hard quietly?"
Chen Zhi was stunned.
Is this what he said?
Shen Zhi breathed a sigh of relief as his heart finally settled down.
"Why, no? Our family's situation is different from yours."
"Yeah."
Under the light, the curve of the man's lips seemed to carry a hint of self-mockery, but when Chen Zhi looked carefully again, it disappeared in an instant.
Xie Jinyan had just stood up, and the oppressive feeling that had just enveloped Shen Zhi suddenly disappeared.
Chen Zhi ignored the strange feeling in his heart.
"So, you brought me out here just to ask me this?"
Xie Jinyan paused.
Of course not.
He brought her out because he didn't want to give the old man a chance to say the rest of his words.
She is so dazzling.
He was not unaware of the surprise in Xie Youze's eyes, and the gazes in the banquet hall that frequently fell on Shen Zhi.
He is a man, so he naturally understands the meaning of these looks.
Xie Jinyan lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes casting a shadow under his eyes.
In a deserted, quiet corridor.
The man suddenly leaned over, his thin lips almost touching her ear.
The deliberately lowered voice is very magnetic, and the ending tone is lazy, as if it carries a bit of unintentional temptation.
"Teacher Shen, do you still remember what you promised me when you were recording the variety show?"
…
The banquet is about to begin.
Shen Zhi found his place under the guidance of the hotel staff.
Several people from the Shen family had already taken their seats. Shen Mei saw Shen Zhi approaching from afar, her eyes flickering slightly.
When Chen Zhi sat down, he couldn't help but ask, "Sister, why did you take so long? Is there something important you want to discuss?"
Chen Zhi thought about what Xie Jinyan had just said to her.
He paused while picking up the water cup.
The voice was indifferent: "Please."
"oh."
The banquet officially began, the lights dimmed a little, and someone went on stage to speak.
He was a middle-aged man with an elegant temperament.
Chen Zhi often sees him in major financial interviews.
It seems to be Xie Mingcheng. Since Mr. Xie retired, he has been in charge of the Xie family. Judging from their relationship, he should be Xie Jinyan's uncle.
The man spoke softly and didn't seem to have the airs of a superior.
However, Chen Zhi quickly labeled him a smiling tiger.
The expression on Xie Jinyan's face at a certain moment in the corridor just now unconsciously emerged in my mind.
Even a family like the Shen family is constantly in turmoil, so a top wealthy family like the Xie family must also have undercurrents and is far from being as calm as it appears on the surface.
Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly felt the hem of my skirt being gently pulled.
Chen Zhi lowered his head.
A little kid was squatting on the ground like a thief.
Seeing her looking at him, he instantly broke into a big smile.
He blinked his eyes, chuckled, and whispered, "Fairy sister, I found you!"
Chen Zhi: “…”
The lights were dim and everyone else's attention was on the stage.
It was not until the sound on the stage died down and the lights came back on that the other people at the table noticed Ji Nanyu's presence.
Shen Hongyi frowned slightly: “This child…”
Before she finished speaking, Ji Nanyu opened her eyes wide and asked curiously, "Sister Fairy, are these your family members?"
Chen Zhi was looking for members of the Ji family in the banquet hall. Before he could reply, Chen Mei next to him took over the conversation and introduced Ji Nan and Ji Nan with a smile.
Ji Nanyu blinked, his gaze swept across the three people in front of him and fell on Shen Mei.
She tilted her head in confusion: "Are you the fairy sister's sister?"
Hearing this little kid calling Chen Zhi "Fairy Sister" all the time, Chen Mei was not willing to be outdone. She gave him her sweetest smile and was about to answer.
The little ghost looked at the two of them and added doubtfully:
"But you two don't look alike at all. Sister Fairy is much prettier than you."
Ji Nanyu's voice was still full of childishness and rang clearly in everyone's ears.
The sweet smile on Shen Mei's lips suddenly froze.
After he reacted, his face turned pale, and at that moment he even had the urge to strangle the kid to death!
Ji Nanyu hid behind Chen Zhi and said timidly: "This aunt is so scary..."
In order to better control the situation, Shen Mei's makeup, clothes and jewelry today were more luxurious and gorgeous than before.
However, she has a delicate appearance, and this kind of mature makeup doesn't suit her at all. At first glance, she looks like a child wearing adult clothes.
Feeling that everyone's gazes were on her, Shen Mei's back teeth were about to break.
But in this situation, with other people sitting at the same table, Shen Mei couldn't argue with a child and could only swallow her anger.
"Nan Yu, why are you here? Didn't I tell you not to run around here?"
Ji Chuan and Yun Chu didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, Ji Nanyu ran away again.
Thinking back to before the banquet started, Ji Nanyu saw Chen Zhi from afar and kept shouting that he wanted to find the fairy sister.
Therefore, when the two found out that their son was missing, they decisively headed in the direction of the Shen family.
I didn't expect it to be here.
I think it was because Ji Nan noticed the place where Chen Zhi sat just now and remembered it in his mind.
It is said that the Shen family and the Ji family are not on good terms and have completely cut off contact many years ago.
Seeing the Ji family coming over at this time, all kinds of eyes fell on them.
Ji Chuan and Yun Chu didn't know what to say. They nodded apologetically to Chen Zhi and wanted to leave with Ji Nan.
Just turned around.
A clear voice called out to them.
