Chapter 147: Seeing Ji Lin jealous tonight, so cool~
Ji Linshen: [? ]
Huo Beiyan raised the corner of his lips with a faint arc, and with his slender fingers, he pressed the silent button on his phone and put it into the inner pocket of his dark-patterned suit.
He casually took the whiskey from the waiter's tray. The amber liquid rippled on the clear wall of the glass, and the ice cubes made a crisp sound when he clinked glasses with Lu Yannan.
The topics they talked about were basically corporate mergers and acquisitions, stock market turmoil and the like.
Lu Shiman was bored listening to this and scanned the banquet hall to see if there was anyone else he knew.
Suddenly, a clear laugh pierced through the clinking voices of the crowd, and she looked in the direction of the sound.
Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows was the dark blue night, and Xie Yi was leaning against the gilded champagne tower, chatting and laughing with someone.
Seeing the person who was communicating with Xie Yi leave, Lu Shiman tugged at Lu Yannan's sleeve and lowered his voice: "Brother, I'm going to say hello to Brother Yu Mao."
"Go ahead." Lu Yannan lowered his eyes to glance at the corners of her eyes, which were tinged with pink, and suddenly reached out to take the champagne glass from her fingers: "Drink some juice later, don't drink alcohol."
"Oh~" Lu Shiman dragged out the last word, turned around and walked towards Xie Yi.
Xie Yi had already turned sideways to look over. Seeing her approach, he smiled and said, "Just now I guessed that you were here with Big Brother. It turned out to be true."
"Brother Yu Mao, are you alone?" Lu Shiman sat down next to him and took a glass of juice.
"If I'm not a person, then I'm also a dog?" Xie Yi glanced at her sideways, raised his head and drank the wine in the glass.
Hearing his answer, Lu Shiman chuckled twice and wanted to ask what breed his dog was, but her mind was a little confused: "What breeds are you and Wang Jiangang?"
Xie Yi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Wang Jiangang is a dog, and I should be a purebred, right?"
Lu Shiman laughed: "There are still people who are not purebred?"
"Yes, people often call others bastards."
"So this curse word has such a complicated meaning?"
Huo Beiyan's gaze passed through the crowd and landed precisely on Lu Shiman and Xie Yi, who were sitting next to each other, chatting and laughing.
"Mr. Lu, your sister has a good relationship with Mr. Xie." Huo Beiyan changed the subject and let his phone vibrate in his pocket.
"Yeah, not bad." Lu Yannan also followed Huo Beiyan's gaze and saw Lu Shiman smiling happily, and his eyes softened a little.
"Xie Yi has a good personality, it would be nice for him to be my brother-in-law." Huo Beiyan really enjoyed watching the fun.
I've always been annoyed by Ji Linshen's arrogant look, and today I finally found a chance to annoy him.
Why not?
Lu Yannan chuckled and tilted his head to look at Huo Beiyan: "Does Ji Linshen know that you are instigating this behind the scenes?"
Huo Beiyan's smile widened: "No relationship is ever smooth sailing, right, Mr. Lu?"
"I don't care whether other people's relationships are smooth sailing, but Lu Shiman's must be smooth sailing." Lu Yannan looked at Lu Shiman's little face that was as bright as the warm sun and said softly.
Lu Shiman felt her gaze fixed on him, and she looked up through the crowd to meet her elder brother's gentle eyes, and the corners of her mouth curled up a little more.
Xie Yi stared at her smiling face, his heart suddenly stopped: "Lu Shiman."
"Hmm?" Lu Shiman withdrew her gaze and looked at Xie Yi, who was hesitant to speak, in confusion.
Xie Yi's eyes became deeper, and his gaze fell on her face intently.
Their eyes met.
"Can you call me Fifth Brother from now on?" Xie Yi was silent for a while and finally spoke.
"Huh?" Lu Shiman was completely confused by his words: "This...does my third brother know that you want to be his younger brother?"
"It doesn't matter what he thinks. Lu Shiman, call me Fifth Brother. I also want to be your brother." Xie Yi had thought about this since he was a child, otherwise he would not have brought her home to be adopted by his parents.
When Lu Jianheng was mentioned, Lu Shiman finally remembered why she came here: "Do you know Shen Mingzhu?"
The topic changed so quickly that Xie Yi couldn't keep up at all.
"My third brother and..."
She was halfway through her words when she heard Lu Yannan calling her. She put down her cup and stood up: "I'll go over first and talk to you later."
"Are you leaving without calling me Fifth Brother?" Xie Yi was unwilling to give up.
"Change your surname to Lu first." Lu Shiman waved his hand and walked towards Lu Yannan.
"Yannan, my niece will be here soon. You two should get to know each other." Shen Liangchuan walked towards them with a smile, accompanied by a handsome boy.
"Manman, this is He Yangui, the young master of the He family. He just returned from studying abroad..."
When He Yan returned to Chaolu, Man smiled politely and extended her hand.
Lu Shiman was a little confused, but still extended his hand politely.
Just as they were about to shake hands, the door of the banquet hall opened, and the crystal curtains were blown by the draft, making a rustling sound.
Ji Linshen stood against the moonlight in the corridor. His sharply tailored suit made his figure look even more slender. When he raised his hand to adjust his cufflinks, the sharp arc of his wrist bones appeared in the shadow.
The moment he stepped into the hall, the light reflected from the champagne tower just happened to sweep across his brow bone, and his amber pupils condensed into a cold glass texture under the strong light.
Shen Liangchuan was a little surprised to see Ji Linshen. The invitation letter was sent to his assistant before and was directly rejected. Why did he come again suddenly?
Putting aside his doubts, Shen Liangchuan took a few steps forward to greet him: “I thought you wouldn’t come, President Ji.”
Ji Lin nodded deeply: "Mr. Shen."
"Miss Lu, can you leave a..." Before He Yangui finished speaking, Ji Linshen had already stepped in between them.
He glanced coldly at He Yangui's outstretched hand and took the initiative to shake it.
Seeing this, Lu Shiman silently withdrew her hand and her eyes fell on the cold and hard line on the side of Ji Lin's neck when his Adam's apple slid.
Ji Linshen withdrew his hand and his eyes fell on Lu Yannan: "Brother."
Hearing Ji Linshen's name, Lu Yannan couldn't help but rub the seam of his pants with his hand on his side.
He still couldn't get used to it. He felt really embarrassed when Ji Linshen called him "big brother".
Shen Liangchuan's smile froze, and doubts and shock intertwined in his heart.
"Why are you here?" Lu Shiman was a little surprised and wanted to directly hold Ji Linshen's arm, but Lu Yannan calmly held her down.
"I'm here to pick you up in advance." Ji Lin's voice was cold and deep, with a hint of jealousy.
Shen Liangchuan swallowed his surprise with a rolling Adam's apple, his eyes roaming between the two of them like a searchlight, trying to find some clues.
"Boss Huo, Boss Ji and..."
Huo Beiyan took a sip of wine, glanced at Shen Liangchuan's shocked pupils, and pulled a playful arc at the corner of his lips: "Mr. Shen doesn't know?"
"Ji Linshen has been kept by Lu Shiman for a long time. Hasn't Mr. Shen heard anything?"
While talking.
Xie Yi approached from behind them: "Lu Shiman, you really don't want to consider me?"
Ji Linshen's fingertips rolled heavily over the water droplets condensed on the rim of the whiskey glass, and his Adam's apple rolled in the shadows.
The light band cast by the crystal chandelier just crossed his brow, making the corners of his eyes appear a sinister dark red.
Xie Yi seemed to have just discovered Ji Linshen. He lazily raised his champagne glass in greeting and tilted his head to look at Lu Yannan: "Brother."
"Mr. Xie, it's better not to call me by random names. It will cause unnecessary misunderstandings and cause trouble." Ji Linshen's voice sounded like it was squeezed out from under the ice, with a warning.
"Mr. Ji, what you said is true. I have been calling you that since I was a child, and I don't see any misunderstanding." Xie Yi's mind was full of "Fifth Brother", and he didn't care about Ji Linshen's warning.
Huo Beiyan looked at the scene before him that was comparable to a Shura field, raised his head and drank the remaining wine in the cup. The pleasure rolling in his throat was more burning than that of strong liquor.
