TGLC Chapter 54.3

Yan Zhen and Chen Yurou didn’t want to go either.

Xu Yi had already given his son some fruit. Hearing this, he lazily looked at Duan Zihui and said, “Why don’t you just go with Lu Yiheng?”

He wasn’t really interested in these things.

Duan Zihui glanced at Xu Yi, knowing he wasn’t interested in these things, handed Zhuzhu to Xie Qingyu, and went over with Lu Yiheng.

However, some people noticed their presence. Soon, someone came over to chat with them.

Fearing they wouldn’t be able to handle it, Chen Yurou took the initiative to chat with them.

Xu Yi, already annoyed, took his son and wife to a corner to eat.

Before coming, he hadn’t thought much of it, but now, looking at the group of well-dressed people with their increasingly hypocritical faces, he suddenly felt that it was pointless.

They all wore smiles, but in reality, they were all looking for prey that could be useful to them; they would naturally not offer smiles to those who were not useful.

Before coming, Xu Yi hadn’t felt so annoyed, but now, seeing these hypocritical faces, he suddenly felt rather bored.

Of course, he himself was also a hypocrite.

However, there were still some who lacked tact.

Seeing them sitting in the corner, instead of striking up a conversation with the group of people trying to build connections, they came to bother them.

Xu Yi showed them no respect whatsoever. When they asked if he was Mr. Jiang’s friend, he gave a cold smile and said, “We’re not. We’re just here to make up the numbers.”

This was truly disrespectful.

The people opposite him were slightly embarrassed.

Yan Zhen didn’t quite understand these social niceties, but she still felt that her husband seemed to be showing a bit of disrespect.

She felt that this was inappropriate and reached out to tug at her husband’s clothes.

The meaning was clear: Couldn’t you at least give some face when you speak?

Xu Yi saw that his wife was somewhat dissatisfied, so he smiled and was willing to talk to people properly.

“We came with a friend of Mr. Jiang, so we don’t really seem like his friends.”

The man opposite him had already composed himself, his expression gentle: “I’ve heard that powerful people often have bad tempers. With such a bad temper, you must be quite powerful.”

Xu Yi smiled: “Indeed, I have quite a temper.”

His words could have killed the conversation in a second, but the man opposite him was quite patient and replied with a smile, “Then your abilities must be pretty good too.”

Xu Yi: “I don’t get involved in business matters much.”

At least on the surface, he didn’t get involved in business matters.

But the man opposite him still seemed interested in continuing the conversation. Xu Yi had a gut feeling that this man was not simple.

But he really had no interest in talking to strangers.

Chen Yurou was initially worried that Xie Qingyu wouldn’t be able to handle the people here, but she clearly underestimated Xie Qingyu. She could easily steer the conversation among the women and steer it in a direction she was good at.

Seeing that she wasn’t shy at all and was very poised and confident, Chen Yurou suddenly understood why Duan Zihui was interested in Xie Qingyu.

Xie Qingyu was too beautiful; sometimes, this beauty seemed too frivolous. However, she was cheerful and talkative, a completely different person from Duan Zihui.

She had her strengths; she seemed incredibly sincere and genuine when chatting with people.

She possessed something that made her shine without her even realizing it.

To someone as calculating as Duan Zihui, she was too easy to see through, so he didn’t need to be wary.

Unfortunately, these two… were destined to have a long road ahead of them.
