An Yimin thought he misheard Ding Jiaxu.

He then looked at Ding Jiaxiu and the others. They were even bowing ever so slightly in front of Jiang Yu. Would they not usually look like this only when meeting a superior leader?

Yu Yu was only a high school student. Even if she was the youngest daughter of the Jiangs, Ding Jiahui did not have to be so polite. Even if it was for his sake, Ding Jiaxu and the others were his bosses. There was no need to give him such an honor!

Jiang Yu said, “Little Ding isn’t very polite. I’ll call you President Ding.”

She glanced at Ding Jiaxu and the others. Her look meant that they had to be more careful when outside.

Ding Jiaxu received her hint and said, “All right. It’s fine if you don’t want to call me Little Ding, you may call me Jiaxu. It’s much less formal.”

Jiang Yu: “…”

The people next to him almost wanted to beat him up. An Yimin was also stunned.

Jia…Jiaxu?

President Ding, was this not a bit too much?

It can’t be because…

A guess entered An Yimin’s mind. He looked at Jiang Yu, dressed to the nines, and then looked at Ding Jiaxu in his suit and leather shoes, and the cogs in his brain started turning.

It could not be because…President Ding had taken a fancy to his daughter, right?

If…If his superior had taken a fancy to his daughter, would that work out?

Xun Shaorong pulled An Yimin aside and used her eyes to ask An Yimin what was going on. An Yimin returned a look that said he did not understand either. But when he turned his head and saw Jiang Yu’s cold expression, An Yimin suddenly thought of someone.

Someone who had yet to appear.

Yes, yes, yes. This was not possible because his daughter seemed to already have someone in mind. An Yimin began to think about how he would reject Ding Jiaxu if he made a request.

After Ding Jiaxu finished speaking, the other three followed suit and introduced themselves warmly, “I’m Hanyan!”

“I’m…”

All of them acted as if they were meeting Jiang Yu for the first time.

Jiang Yu was silent for a moment as she thought about this bunch of drama queens. They seemed to be pretending to be happy. Of course, she did not know that An Yimin was already thinking about something completely unrelated. After greeting them, she went to find a place to sit down. However, she saw an unexpected person.

Jian Hanshen.

Why was he here? She had not invited him. Jiang Yu furrowed her beautiful brows. After some consideration, she walked up to him. At the same time, Jian Hanshen also walked toward her.

He went straight to the point, “Ms. Jiang, happy birthday. I’m here because I have something to tell you—”

But before he could finish his sentence, another sound came from the door.

Another guest had arrived.

Jiang Yu seemed to sense something and looked toward the door. Her gaze met the man standing at the door. The man was dressed in a well-tailored suit over his broad shoulders and long legs. He was handsome and looked like the favored son of God.

There were already many male guests present. Be it Jian Hanshen of the Jian family, or Qin Yi of the Qin family, both of them had extraordinary looks. However, after this man appeared, not only was he not inferior to them, he was even better than them.

Someone recognized him. “Isn’t he…the illegitimate son of the Feng family who was chased out?”

After saying this, he stole a glance at Feng Le’an. Seeing that Feng Le’an did not react much, he lowered his voice and asked, “No way, he has connections with the Jiangs?”

“The Jiangs have too many friends…”

“However, it’s not easy to get the Qins and the Jians to appear at the same time, not to mention the Fengs. Thinking about it, since they couldn’t get the people who are still part of the Fengs to come, they instead got the people who were chased out by the Fengs.”

Feng Linbai found Jiang Yu with just a glance.

He smiled at Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu smiled back.

“As I said, this man’s skin looks really good. His mother must be a great beauty…”

A female guest said with infatuation, “He looks even more handsome when he smiles…”

“But haven’t you noticed…” someone raised a question, “The direction he looked toward just now, that’s the youngest daughter of the Jiangs, right? The first person he greeted was not President Jiang, but the youngest daughter of the Jiangs. This means that he and Jiang Yu are familiar with each other. So, he’s here for her, right?”

“What are you talking about? Who isn’t here for Jiang Yu today? Isn’t this her birthday party?”

“No, no, no, that’s not what I meant. Think about it carefully. The people of the Qin family, the Jian family, and even the people from Chuanyu have spent quite some time talking to Jiang Yu, right? Qin Fangfei even ran up to her and called her Sister Yu. Old Master Qin acknowledged her as his god-granddaughter. And what did An Yimin call her? Daughter? Jian Hanshen also took the initiative to seek her out…”

“But all these people only greeted Jiang Chenglang briefly. Think about it. Don’t you think it’s strange?”

“You mean…” someone concluded, “They didn’t come to this birthday banquet because of Jiang Chenglang, but…they were invited by Jiang Yu?”

“Then Jiang Yu must be very capable!”

The brothers of the Jiang family thought to themselves—the male fox had indeed come. He was really devious and even made a grand entrance.

After entering, Feng Linbai briefly greeted Jiang Chenglang and walked toward Jiang Yu. He had spotted Jian Hanshen who was standing in front of Jiang Yu, but he did not think that Jian Hanshen had any relationship with Jiang Yu. Based on the fact that the Jians had done something bad to An Yimin, it was impossible for Jiang Yu to have a good relationship with Jian Hanshen. Although Feng Linbai loved being jealous, he could tell who would be his true love rivals.

And Jian Hanshen?

Forget it.

Feng Linbai casually asked, “What are you two talking about?”

Jian Hanshen obviously rejected him. “Topics that are not suitable for you to participate in.”

Feng Linbai glanced at him lightly and said even more casually, “This topic you speak of, it can only mean that it has something to do with the Jiang family. And the only thing you have to talk about with Jiang Yu is…

“Something that has to do with Lu Yuan, right?”

Jian Hanshen clenched his jaw, but he did not ask the question of “how do you know?”.

This was not a convenient place to talk.

Jiang Yu frowned.

She asked, “Do you have any news?”

Jian Hanshen pursed his lips.

The words were right on the tip of his tongue, but he could not bring himself to say it. He had already made a decision, so why was he backing out at this moment. He wanted to tell her honestly. But at this moment, when he saw her standing beside Feng Linbai, Jian Hanshen felt that she was extremely dazzling.

A voice came from his heart. He could not. He could not go any further.

Out of the blue, Jian Hanshen replied, “No.”
