Chapter 54 Childhood Sweetheart or Rival in Love
At the Jingyue Hotel in Xinghai City, a charity gala was held. As dusk settled, the dazzling crystal chandeliers emitted a soft glow, illuminating the entire banquet hall in a dreamlike atmosphere, while melodious music filled the hall.
Many prominent figures in the entertainment industry, dressed in glamorous gowns, strolled and chatted in the banquet hall.
Wen Yanyu sat quietly in the corner with a glass of juice in her hand, her white thermal sweater standing out from her surroundings.
People around them occasionally cast strange glances in their direction.
Wen Yanyu calmly placed a piece of peach cake, a piece of chocolate cake, and a small dish of overly salty and unpalatable caviar on the plate to cut through the richness.
Yes.
He was taken away.
The director he had worked with before invited him to a dinner party, saying that he didn't need to prepare any clothes, as someone would prepare them for him when he arrived. They had worked together several times and trusted each other quite a bit.
Oh no, I should say that his people trusted the other party a lot, only to find out when they arrived that they hadn't prepared anything for him at all.
Wen Yanyu sighed. He usually slacked off too much, and the company couldn't be bothered with him.
His staff were mostly newcomers with little experience, and they were all in a panic. They didn't have time to prepare, and he was already on the list, so it was impossible for him to arrive and then leave.
Wen Yanyu pondered what the trending headlines would be if someone took a picture of them: "Shocking! A minor celebrity attended a charity gala wearing only casual clothes to gain attention" and "Shocking! A minor celebrity's relaxed persona backfires."
But it seems no one can take pictures...
Wen Yanyu raised her eyes and scanned the hall.
Looking at the A-list celebrities in the banquet hall, whose identities he couldn't discern but who were clearly wealthy and powerful, and the strange glances they cast at him from time to time.
Oh no... we're doomed.
I'm going to become a walking, talking bag.
Thankfully, he's not planning to stay in that circle anymore. Oh yeah, he escaped a disaster...
Wen Yanyu lowered her head, picked up the small cake, and forked off another piece.
Since things have come to this, let's eat first.
After munching down half a small cake, Wen Yanyu contentedly squinted her eyes.
tasty.
It truly lives up to its reputation as a high-class banquet.
It wasn't a wasted trip; I'll forgive the guy who tried to mess with me for now.
"Are you Wen Yanyu?"
A male voice with a smile.
Wen Yanyu looked up at the sound and saw a tall young man standing a meter away. He was wearing a well-tailored white suit, with fair skin, gentle eyes, and a refined and elegant demeanor.
Wen Yanyu thought for a while, but couldn't recall, so she tentatively asked, "Hello... who are you?"
"My name is Lin Yu." The young man smiled meaningfully and drew out his words slightly, "I'm also Fu Hanchuan's childhood friend."
Wen Yanyu was stunned for a moment.
Lin Yu had already taken a seat next to him.
Lin Yu gracefully picked up the wine glass beside her, gently swirled the champagne, and said slowly, "I heard you really like Han Chuan."
Questions without questions.
Wen Yanyu remained silent.
Although his feelings for Fu Hanchuan were not what the other party claimed, he had made such a big fuss about his past actions that even if he said it wasn't true, the other party wouldn't believe him, so he might as well say less and make fewer mistakes.
and……
Wen Yanyu frowned.
Who is this person? I've never seen him before.
Seemingly noticing Wen Yanyu's question, Lin Yu smiled and said, "I just returned from abroad not long ago, so you may not know me very well."
Lin Yu turned her head and met his gaze. Her eyes seemed to be smiling but not smiling, with a faint hint of gloom hidden in them.
“I was a friend who went abroad with him, and we’ve always been together,” Lin Yu said, drawing out her words meaningfully.
The hand holding the fork suddenly froze, and Wen Yanyu's breathing paused for a moment, but quickly returned to normal.
He didn't give much of a response, nodded to Lin Yu, gave a brief self-introduction, and then continued eating his peach cake.
It was like punching cotton.
Lin Yu frowned slightly, then smiled again and continued chatting to herself.
"I heard you're a celebrity. Is your work tiring?"
"It's alright," Wen Yanyu replied casually.
"Shouldn't you celebrities be very concerned about your reputation? You and Han Chuan back then..." Lin Yu started by casually mentioning it, then pretended to have said something wrong and stopped abruptly to see his reaction.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. It's just that with Han Chuan's personality, he probably hates this kind of thing." Lin Yu smiled gently. "If you want to pursue him, this method probably won't work."
Wen Yanyu didn't answer, but just glanced at him indifferently before lowering her eyes to continue eating her cake.
What to do when someone is causing trouble?
Let him act.
Lin Yu continued talking about the two families' planned cooperation, her experiences with Fu Hanchuan at school, and her upcoming takeover of family affairs.
In conclusion.
Lin Yu looked at him and said slowly, "I know you saved Han Chuan's life. You have done him a favor, so I won't do anything to you."
“But if you continue to be ungrateful and greedily want what doesn’t belong to you,” Lin Yu’s voice was cold, her eyes seemingly covered in frost, “I don’t mind teaching you a lesson on his behalf.”
Wen Yanyu swallowed the strawberry cake, turned to look at Lin Yu, and asked, "Are you... here to threaten me?"
Lin Yu's smile remained unchanged: "It's not a threat. I believe that Mr. Wen is not a stupid person, since he has been able to survive in the entertainment industry for so many years."
"If Mr. Wen is sensible, it will be good for all of us."
Lin Yu gestured to the surroundings.
Wen Yanyu followed the gaze.
"You should know everyone here. They all have some connection with my family, and they're willing to give me face."
Lin Yu's voice was tinged with laughter, but the sense of superiority in her tone was no longer concealed. "If you want to continue working in this industry, I think you'd better not keep making me unhappy."
Suddenly, a soft laugh sounded beside my ear.
Lin Yu looked over in surprise.
Wen Yanyu suppressed her laughter, wiped her lips clean, and gave him an apologetic smile: "Sorry, I just thought of something interesting."
