Chapter 1055 I Won’t Get Into This Troublesome Water 20

Xiao Heng pulled Yun Zhi aside to talk.

Yun Zhi: "What do you mean? Young Master Xiao has tempted you?"

Xiao Heng: "Don't gossip, we are just colleagues now."

Yun Zhi: "Oh, I see. We are just colleagues now, but that may not be the case in the future, right?"

Su Yan walked to the pastry area and took a small cake to eat.

In fact, in such occasions, there are almost no people who actually come to eat; they all come to make connections.

The custom-made pastries were obviously delicious, but few people ate them. Instead, the red wine and champagne on the side were constantly being refilled.

Su Yan was eating cake when he suddenly heard two women discussing a man next to him.

"Look, is that the illegitimate child of the Li family?"

"Which Li family?"

"It's the Li family, one of the four great families in Beijing."

"Oh, I see. You're talking about the illegitimate child that the Li family just recognized. I heard that he's already been included in the family tree and is ranked the sixth child."

"Well, look at the person next to him. He is Li Weisheng's right-hand man, Jiang Yu. Does the Li family want him to take this Sixth Young Master to make connections everywhere?"

"There are many illegitimate children in wealthy families, but only a few can be recognized as such. Even fewer can have capable assistants around them. This Li Sixth Young Master is no ordinary person."

"Should we go over and say hello?"

"Let's go, while there aren't many people around him, and go make some friends."

The two of them posed coquettishly and checked their makeup to make sure there was nothing wrong before walking towards a man who looked very aloof and unfathomable the entire time.

She has an above-average appearance, and her figure is the type that looks thin when dressed but has muscular body when undressed.

When the two beauties walked over, other socialites took the initiative to come forward and talk to them.

Unfortunately, before he could say two words, he returned home empty-handed because of the indifference of Mr. Li Liu.

The two beauties walked over and said hello with full confidence.

Li Liu didn't even want to be perfunctory, so he just pretended not to see it and turned away.

The two beauties felt embarrassed for a moment because of the attitude that kept people at a distance. Then they found a way out and walked to the other side with a laugh.

There is no need to guess that this pretentious man is the big boss who has been entangled with Su Yase.

In the original owner's previous life, she had no backing and was completely beaten by this man, who could crush her with just a flick of his finger.

Su Yan was a little surprised to see him in such an occasion so early in the morning.

No wonder it took him several years to find Su Yase. It turned out that at that time he was just an illegitimate child who had just been recognized. He had an awkward identity, no power, and no money. Naturally, it was not the time for him to show off.

Thinking of the harm he and his son had caused to the original body, Su Yan was thinking, why not just make sure this illegitimate child has no right to show off and strangle this big guy in the cradle to avoid being annoyed when seeing him in the future.

Although she advocated enjoying her life, she instinctively felt a little disgusted when she saw this Lao Liu.

As she was staring at Li Liu, Xiao Heng came to her and asked in a deep voice, "What are you looking at?"

Su Yan came back to his senses and smiled: "Nothing, I just saw a beautiful girl trying to flirt with a handsome guy, but it didn't work out."

Xiao Cheng chuckled, then said, "Let's go, I'll take you over to meet some friends."

Su Yan: "Yeah."

The people Xiao Heng introduced Su Yan to were all his friends, not the company's business partners.

Su Yan also came to his senses. Tonight's banquet was private, not a commercial cocktail party.

Xiao Heng's friends are very enthusiastic and interested in her, and everyone is very concerned about what she does.

But when they heard Xiao Heng say that this was just his secretary, everyone showed ambiguous expressions.

Maybe Yun Zhi had talked to these people, or they had heard about it among themselves a long time ago, and they were all gossiping, as if they had discovered some new continent.

During their conversation, Su Yan also learned about Li Liu's current embarrassing position in the Li family.

Although the Li family has recognized him now, he is just an idle non-staff member and has not taken over any of the Li family's industries. He just has the title of Li Liushao.

Now he should be eager to prove his ability, or find a strong support to help him increase his weight.

So to put it bluntly, he came to this banquet this time for a blind date.

His father intended to find him a powerful in-law to help him gain a foothold in the Li family.

The Yun family, which is hosting the banquet today, is one of the powerful families for marriage in the eyes of Li's father.

Otherwise, Li Liu would not have appeared here.

Among the four major families in the capital, the Xiao family, the Yun family, the Huo family, and the Li family, the Li family can only be ranked last.

The Xiao family and the Yun family have always had a close relationship and have cooperated in many business fields.

The Huo family is mainly engaged in politics, while the Li family is a rising star and lacks in foundation.

Yun Zhi joked, "It's a pity that my sister couldn't come tonight because she had something else, otherwise she would have had another suitor."

Everyone knows who the suitor Yun Zhi is referring to is.

It was none other than Young Master Li Liu who had just been recognized.

Someone joked, "After all, he's so handsome. I remember Yunshi liked handsome guys. What if your sister likes that, too?"

Yun Zhi smiled and slapped the man on the back: "Bah, your sister is the type who likes this. Don't think of my sister as so superficial. She has seen a lot of things in these years."

The man smiled and said, "Yes, yes, the big world you are referring to could be Young Master Xiao, right?"

Xiao Heng immediately distanced himself from the matter: "Yun Shi has always treated me as a brother, and I have always treated her as a little sister, so please don't say anything nonsense."

Seeing him hastily disassociating himself from the matter, as if afraid of being misunderstood, the others couldn't help but laugh and said, "I never thought that one day Young Master Xiao would personally refute the rumor. Didn't you disdain to do such things in the past?"

"That's right. Young Master Xiao used to be so carefree. He never cared about these things."

"Could it be that he changed his personality because there was a new beauty today?"

Xiao Heng coughed and said calmly: "I am just discussing the matter at hand. Please don't frame me here."

Yun Zhi also stepped forward to help out, "Why are you men just like gossipers? You love gossiping so much."

Su Yan stood aside, pretending not to hear anything.

In fact, their hints were already very obvious. If Su Yan still couldn't see it, he would be a fool.

She had known for a long time that Xiao Heng was interested in her, but the two of them had not yet broken the window paper.

In fact, the most beautiful stage of a relationship is the ambiguous period, and she feels that it is pretty good now.

As for who will break this window paper, if she feels the time is right, she doesn't mind taking the initiative, but she doesn't have such impulse at the moment.

Xiao Heng looked at her shyly and said, "They just like to joke around. You just have to get used to it."

Su Yan smiled and said, "It's okay, I understand."

Xiao Heng: “…”
