"Even Old Sir Jun has arrived, so it should start soon. Don’t underestimate the Ling’s Family. The family is filled with influential figures in the political and military sectors."
Awe filled everyone’s voices.
"Huh, why did he co? It is not known that he has any deep relationship with Jun Family or Ling’s Family."
This was also a mystery to Jun Guanru. A person he never expected had suddenly appeared.
He glanced at Jun Shi, who also revealed a baffled face. This was not an invitee of his. Even though business and politics are inseparable, so ranking officials are not easy to get along with. Particularly, they usually don’t often appear at banquets.
Could this Ling Yan have co to investigate him?
His heart pounded in shock, unsettling him, but on second thought, he figured he was overthinking.
Seemingly noticing their confusion, Ling Yan smiled elegantly, "My apologies for showing up uninvited, but I am here accompanying my girlfriend."
Both Jun Guanru and the crowd were taken aback, accompany his girlfriend, who?
As the hostess responsible for welcoming guests, Bai Sijia imdiately stepped forward with a warm smile, "Can you introduce your girlfriend to us?"
At the look on Jun Guanru’s face, it seed that Ling Yan, being a person of extraordinary family background, was soone worth pleasing.
If she could beco close friends with his girlfriend, that would also an getting close to political power, which would only benefit her imnsely.
Ling Yan walked over to Ye Lu, his arm around her shoulders, speaking gently, "Sorry, I was tied up with so work matters and arrived late."
The audience was aghast, astonished beyond words. The girlfriend of Young Master Ling, turned out to be - Ye Lu.
Bai Sijia’s ingratiating smile froze on her face, unable to conceal her shock. How could this happen? How could soone of Ye Lu’s status hook a handso, successful politician? It was unbelievable. What on Earth was going on?
"Huh, the sky-blue dress she’s wearing... it looks like the one you showed us earlier, Sijia," a woman beside Bai Sijia remarked in surprise.
Bai Sijia’s nails dug into her palm. Ling Yan had been extrely generous to give such a valuable gift, easily outshining her.
"Third Young Master, Ye Lu really isn’t simple, huh? The n she has, one is stronger than the next," Feiyu widened her eyes, unable to hide her amazent.
This ti, Third Young Master Jun didn’t utter a word. His cold, icy gaze fell upon Ling Yan’s arm around Ye Lu’s shoulders. He saw them whispering and laughing intimately.
A wild, agitated feeling welled up in his usually calm heart.
He tried to suppress it, retracting his gaze, calming his mind. Forgetting her completely took ti. He had resisted her temptation, her revenge. Now all that was left was this provocation.
Only if he could be utterly indifferent to her would it count as real success.
This was the real challenge.
"How co you’re here? Thank you for the dress," Ye Lu looked at Ling Yan surprisingly, very grateful for him coming to her defense.
She didn’t invite him. After all, he had already agreed to help investigate Yuan Jiayin’s case, which made her feel embarrassed.
Ling Yan spoke quietly into her ear, "Based on the information and lead you gave , my n have covertly infiltrated Shang’s house. They searched Old Sir Shang’s room and brought back so items for investigation."
Ye Lu’s heart leapt with joy, but she felt a pang of worry, "Won’t this tip off Shang Jingchen? His suspicions about haven’t been cleared yet?"
