If it was just contempt, that would be fine. After all, he admitted that he was indeed unable to compare with others in terms of knowledge. But there are some people who look down on him while wanting to get benefits from him. When talking to him, no matter how well they hide their expressions, one eye says condescension, while the other eye says the desire for money.
Beauty, Xing Yan has seen a lot.
With such wealth and status, he will naturally become a favorite in the eyes of many people. The beautiful woman from a bad background hopes to get acquainted with him and find a meal ticket for the rest of her life.
While the beauty with a good family background looked arrogant and self-possessed on the face, they were unwilling in her heart but pointed to him to bring huge benefits to the family behind her.
After seeing this kind of thing so often, he gradually got used to it and did not take it to heart. His appreciation of beauty also became indifferent. When he met a beautiful one, he would just look at it once or twice, and that’s all.
However, the Shen family is indeed different from other families. Unlike others, they look down upon him in their hearts but pretend to be warm on their faces. But from the eldest to the youngest, from the grandfather to the granddaughter, the Shen family’s indifference toward him is really real and sincere. It’s cold from the inside and out.
But this kind of coldness doesn’t make people feel underestimated. After all, in terms of etiquette, they don’t have any rudeness. It will only make people feel that this family is probably so noble and unpretentious.
Xing Yan found that he had a pretty good impression of this family.
Realizing this, he touched his chin and thought to himself. Could it be that his hidden attribute is that he likes to have a hot face pressing against a cold ass1Hot face pressing against a cold ass: (idiom) show warm feelings but meet with cold rebuke.?

On the other side, Jiang Rui and Old Madam Shen are picking petals together.
She naturally knew that Xing Yan was gone, but she did not deliberately create an opportunity to go out and meet him.
Before she got the identity of Shen Chuyin, she had secretly observed Xing Yan for a while and found that he looked casual and uninhibited. He laughed at everyone, but in fact, he was not easy to get close to. If she does it too deliberately, it may be counterproductive, so it is better to figure it out slowly.
“Do you have any plans for the afternoon the day after tomorrow? If you have nothing to do, let’s go watch a play with Grandma.” Old Madam Shen suddenly said.
Jiang Rui came back to her senses and nodded, “Okay.”
The old lady looked at her and sighed helplessly: “You child, you have been resting at home for so many days. You don’t go out for a walk or play with your friends. Other girls go shopping, date boys, and enjoy life while they are young. But can you live your whole life with a violin? You are even more boring than an old woman like me. You are all led to bad things by your grandfather.”
Jiang Rui smiled and said, “Wouldn’t it be nice for me to spend more time with Grandpa and you?”
“That’s good. But how many more years can we, the old man and the old woman, stay with you?” When this was mentioned, Old Madam Shen became worried.
She had only one child in her life, but he died early, leaving behind a little granddaughter who was raised too innocent by them. She only knew how to raise flowers and play the violin all day long, but she did not understand human relationships and societies.
Whenever Old Madam Shen thinks about the day when she and her husband will go away, leaving her granddaughter alone, she tosses and turns and finds it difficult to sleep. If she doesn’t find a good partner for her granddaughter while she’s still alive, she is afraid that she won’t be able to close her eyes when the time comes.
“Grandma, don’t say such things. You and Grandpa will live a long life.” Jiang Rui frowned and said.
“Okay, okay, don’t say it, don’t say it.” Old Madam Shen said, fearing that her granddaughter would be sad.
In the afternoon of day after tomorrow, Jiang Rui accompanied Old Madam Shen to the Lincheng Grand Theater. When they arrived at the place, she discovered that the old lady had made an appointment with a friend, who was also a gray-haired old lady and was accompanied by a young man.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Rui had a hunch in her heart.
Sure enough, as soon as the two old people met, they exchanged a few words and introduced their grandchildren to each other.
Jiang Rui looked at the surprised and helpless expression on the young man opposite and knew that he had also been deceived.
“You young people can’t stand this kind of drama. Why don’t you sit down together, drink a cup of coffee, talk, and wait for us two old ladies to come out?” The old lady opposite her grandmother said.
Old Madam Shen glanced at her granddaughter’s face and said cautiously: “Yinyin, do you think it’s okay?”
At this point, what else could Jiang Rui say? The old lady had worked so hard for her. She could not just turn around and leave, so she had to accept it.

The author has something to say:
Old Seventh: Hey! Why is there someone jumping in line? Do you want a duel?
Xiao Lin: Don’t you mean that you are not interested in others? [Speak softly]
