"I'm sitting here only because Luo An is here."
She was determined to protect Xiao Luoan tonight.
As she spoke, she took Xiao Luoan's hand in return.
That Xiao Tingshen has shifty eyes; he's definitely not a good person.
Didn't your parents teach you manners?
It's no wonder that Grandpa Xiao was angry when a young person criticized him like that.
"No, I have no father or mother."
Si Jinyan wouldn't lower her voice; she would quickly regain the face she had lost.
She has something she needs to hide.
"That Jiang Feng isn't your biological father? You're just lying through your teeth."
Seeing how thick-skinned she was, Ji Shiya couldn't help but raise her voice.
"Yes, but he never raised me."
Si Jinyan replied without any politeness.
This woman dared to speak to her man like that, deliberately embarrassing Xiao Luoan in front of so many people.
"You really are shameless, you have no shame at all. Qingfeng doesn't like you, can't you tell?"
Ji Shiya stood up abruptly and started cursing at Si Jinyan.
"Is it appropriate for you to be yelling like this in this situation? Or are people who rise to power based on their looks all brainless?"
Si Jinyan rested his chin on his hand and looked at Ji Shiya as if she were a clown.
These words also reminded Grandpa Xiao and her that this was a banquet, and so many people were watching.
If you're going to make a scene, you should wait until after the banquet, shouldn't you?
The dishes were being slowly served, and the Xiao family's spending was naturally not cheap; a single meal cost tens of thousands.
Almost all the ingredients were expensive. It would be fine for an average person to have a meal like this, but this time there were a hundred tables.
This shows just how powerful the Xiao family's foundation is.
At that moment, someone walked over with a wine glass in hand.
"Ms. Si, thank you so much for your help last time."
"If it weren't for your help, I don't know how many more police officers would have been injured or killed."
The Zhou brothers, Zhou Yichen and Zhou Jiayou, stood beside the main table. Both of them had received kindness from Si Jinyan.
"Little master, come, let's have a drink."
Zhou Jiayou, that charming guy, was as well-behaved as a quail today.
It's probably because his older brother is there.
"It was nothing, no need to be so polite."
Si Jinyan cheerfully held up the wine.
"She's still a student, so let's have juice."
Xiao Luoan very naturally replaced the wine in her hand with orange juice.
Si Jinyan's wish to have a drink was dashed, and he was somewhat reluctant to accept the orange juice.
"Then let's have juice. May I ask which university Ms. Si attends?"
Seeing Xiao Luoan's protectiveness, Zhou Yichen was surprised that Xiao Luoan, who had no female companions within three feet of him, would care so much about a girl.
As expected, Xiao Luoan is the kind of person who, once she falls in love, is doomed.
"Teito University."
Si Jinyan clinked glasses with Zhou Yichen and his brother, holding a glass of juice.
"No wonder she's so outstanding. The Municipal Bureau will probably need to trouble Miss Si a lot in the future."
Zhou Yichen was naturally referring to some kind of metaphysical or supernatural event, things that were simply beyond their capabilities.
And they don't have a department specifically for handling these matters.
Regarding the Su Ling incident last time, although many people witnessed Su Ling's magic of bringing the dead back to life and healing flesh and bones, he still concealed the strange details when reviewing the report.
"You're welcome. Eliminating bad guys is the inescapable responsibility of every citizen."
Si Jinyan drank the juice and answered frankly.
"If Zhou were ten years younger, he would definitely compete with Young Master Xiao for her."
Zhou Yichen said this to Xiao Luoan.
It's unbelievable that Zhou Yichen, who is usually so reserved, would say something like that.
"It's a pity you're thirty-five."
Xiao Luoan retorted without any mercy, accusing him of coveting his wife.
To say that to his face was disrespectful to him.
Zhou Yichen greeted Grandpa Xiao and Xiao Tingyun again before returning to his seat.
Zhou Jiayou also wanted to say that if the little master didn't mind, he would also like to pursue her.
But he didn't have his older brother's strength to dare to go up against Xiao Luo'an, so he decided to just run away with his older brother.
"Isn't that Inspector Zhou?"
The young police inspector—who in this wealthy family doesn't know him?
He actually toasted that fortune teller!
This is outrageous.
Jiang Caiyun's eyes were practically spitting fire with jealousy.
Those are Zhou Yichen and Zhou Jiayou, the two young masters of the Zhou family.
One is a police inspector, the other is a top influencer.
What kind of fate does Si Jinyan have to attract so many outstanding people to revolve around her?
She only had these three older brothers by her side. Apart from the eldest and second eldest brothers who were somewhat capable, the third brother was just a good-for-nothing who only knew how to play video games.
Jiang Caiyun's face was like a palette of colors, a truly spectacular sight.
Jiang Feng and Jiang Xiuye are now weighing the pros and cons. They never expected that Si Jinyan would be able to attract the favor of the two young masters of the Zhou family.
“My daughter-in-law is low-key and not what anyone calls a pretty face. But some people are old and faded and don’t even qualify as pretty faces anymore.”
Now that Luo Hua is full of confidence, he has begun to openly confront Ji Shiya.
I felt so frustrated just now, being mocked by the crowd for calling my daughter-in-law a witch doctor.
She had been holding this in for a long time.
"Miss Si, we should also toast you."
Mo Wenqing, Mo Ruoxi, and the siblings Mo Wenxing and Mo Wenyue were standing by the main table, holding wine glasses.
“If it weren’t for you, the Mo family would not have reconciled with the Chu family, my grandmother would not have woken up, and my aunt would not have been able to resolve her inner conflict.”
Mo Wenqing genuinely wanted to thank Si Jinyan.
He wanted to explain when she was being ridiculed as a fortune teller by the wealthy families.
"It's nothing, it was just a small favor."
Si Jinyan's hand was filled with another glass of juice.
