Birds of a feather flock together.

This is not only an objective law, but also a habit.

When you feel that the other person is not in your circle, even if you don't reject him in your heart, you will still subconsciously become alienated from him.

But when you find that the other person is in the same circle as you, especially when the status and family background are higher than yours, then you will be much more enthusiastic.

This is the situation Chen Yan encountered.

Compared with Zhao Ying, whose status is too different and who has just appeared, Chen Yan, the "friend" he has just met, is obviously easier to make friends with.

Therefore, a very strange atmosphere formed at the scene. Because the eldest sister He Mengxue was present at Zhao Ying's side, everyone had to examine the situation and occasionally go over to say hello and make themselves familiar...

But on Chen Yan's side, there was an endless stream of people coming to exchange feelings.

What can Chen Yan do?

I can only smile and deal with it one by one.

Fortunately, these second-generation people are relatively reserved. They didn't leave contact information with each other when seeing many people. They just exchanged a few polite words with Chen Yan. Otherwise, even if Chen Yan added a lot of WeChat messages, he probably wouldn't be able to tell who is who.

After dealing with these enthusiastic second generations, Chen Yan finally took a breath.

Qin Ming, who had been standing next to him from beginning to end, smiled and said to Chen Yan, "Brother Chen, you lied to me. It turns out that you are actually the back figure of the Zhao family."

Chen Yan shook his head and said truthfully, "I have nothing to do with the Zhao family."

Qin Ming's eyes lit up slightly.

He did not doubt that Chen Yan was lying to him. He felt that with the temperament of such a top wealthy family, he would probably not lie to others.

So there is only one possibility.

Chen Yan is a child of another big family

Qin Ming felt that he should have guessed pretty well.

Chen Yan didn't know what Qin Ming was thinking.

After dealing with the second generation, he raised his head and looked at Zhao Ying.

Zhao Ying seemed to be alive when she greeted her, but now she seemed to have become like a puppet again. Her empty look was particularly distressing.

Although He Mengxue still seemed to be talking enthusiastically, Zhao Ying just nodded perfunctorily and replied a few words from time to time. The two of them did not have a pleasant conversation.

Seeing this, Chen Yan thought about it for a moment, and then walked forward.

Arriving next to He Mengxue again, this time He Mengxue looked at Chen Yan much more solemnly than before.

Chen Yan knew that this was all the aura brought to him by Zhao Xuan.

He didn't pay attention, but said to He Mengxue, "Hello, Miss He. Yingying seems to be not feeling well. Can I have a few words with her alone?"

He Mengxue also had a resolute character. She nodded, "Okay, Mr. Chen. I'll trouble you then."

After saying that, she nodded towards Zhao Ying and left the two of them.

After He Mengxue left, Chen Yan clearly heard Zhao Ying let out a sigh of relief.

Chen Yan looked at Zhao Ying and originally wanted to ask directly, but after a slight hesitation, he turned on the "inner headset" directly.

Because Chen Yan felt that under the current situation, Zhao Ying might not be able to tell if he asked, so he might as well listen to what Zhao Ying was thinking while she was thinking about it.

The noisy voices in the banquet hall gradually faded away. From a distance, it seemed that other people could be heard whispering about themselves and Zhao Ying, but Chen Yan could no longer hear clearly.

All he could hear in his ears was Zhao Ying's strong "bang, bang, bang" heartbeat.

For a moment, Zhao Ying's heartbeat rang in Chen Yan's ears.

Zhao Ying's "voice" is a bit confused and helpless

"Finally gone"

“It’s really annoying to deal with them.”

"Why do people have to grow up? Do they have to bear these burdens when they grow up?"

"Betrayal of friends."

"Everything has a way out."

"Living with a mask."

"Family marriage."

"While children of large families enjoy the benefits brought by these families, do they also need to bear corresponding responsibilities?"

"is it really like this?"

"I really want to go back to the past."

Chen Yan looked at Zhao Ying in surprise.

Zhao Ying's eyes were still looking forward blankly. Even if Chen Yan was in front of her, she had no energy.

Zhao Ying's inner voice gradually faded away, and Chen Yan hesitated for a moment.

He felt that maybe he had guessed the truth of some things, especially combined with what happened to him some time ago and the information given by Zhao Ying and Yu Qiaoqiao, he felt that he should have roughly guessed Zhao Ying's troubles during this period.

.

He thought for a moment, then said to Zhao Ying, "Brother Ying. Actually, I don't blame you."

Hearing Chen Yan suddenly say this, Zhao Ying, whose eyes were empty just now, suddenly raised her head and looked at him.

Chen Yan smiled and said, "Uncle Zhao asked you to call me that day, tricking me into coming to my house for dinner, and then taking the opportunity to acquire my company, right?"

"Moreover, you are not allowed to tell me what you are calling me to do, in case I don't come, and in case I make preparations in advance."

Zhao Ying looked at Chen Yan in surprise.

I don't know how Chen Yan knew all this, and I don't know why Chen Yan suddenly talked about this.

Chen Yan took a sip of the champagne in his hand and said lightly, "Uncle Zhao must have made two preparations that day."

"If in this situation, my psychological defense is broken, I will take the opportunity to acquire my company."

"If that doesn't work, play your emotional card. Then bring me back to your camp."

There was more and more surprise in Zhao Ying's eyes.

Chen Yan then said, "So you felt guilty that you betrayed me that day."

"That's why you said sorry to me that night when you were leaving."

"That's why you said you owe me a favor."

"That's why he smashed your father's car in revenge."

Zhao Ying opened her mouth, wanting to explain something, but she didn't know what to say. In the end, she could only lower her head and said again, "I'm sorry."

Chen Yan laughed twice, then patted her shoulder and said, "What's there to be sorry for?"

"Shopping malls are like this, with flashes of swords and bloodshed."

Zhao Ying's eyes dimmed after hearing Chen Yan's words.

However, at this time, Chen Yan said, "But life is not a shopping mall."

"And you are just an 18-year-old girl, not a businessman."

Chen Yan looked at her firmly and said, "So, you took advantage of my friendship, and you owe me a favor."

Zhao Ying looked at Chen Yan for one second, two seconds, and three seconds.

After a while, she nodded vigorously.

Chen Yan drank the champagne in his hand and said, "I won't do this again."

Zhao Ying opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end she slowly lowered her head.

Chen Yan looked at Zhao Ying's expression and suddenly changed the topic. He smiled and said, "Brother Ying, do you want to split the table?"

When Zhao Ying heard the table splitting, her eyes suddenly became brighter, and she couldn't help but look at Chen Yan.

Chen Yan took her hand and said, "Let's go. Stop attending this bullshit party! Don't worry about your family responsibilities and the etiquette of a young lady!"

"You're just an eighteen-year-old kid!"

"Whatever you want to do, do it!"

"What do you do if you care about so much?!"

With that said, Chen Yan picked up Zhao Ying and walked out.

In fact, when Chen Yan went to find Zhao Ying, the second generation people at the banquet had been paying attention to them.

After all, they are the core of tonight's banquet.

While paying attention, they were also discussing,

"I didn't expect that Chen Yan was actually from the Zhao family?"

"Maybe he is not from the Zhao family. But he must be from an extraordinary family."
