After changing into dresses and makeup, Lin Yilan and the Pei Yan family got in the car and prepared to go to the hotel where Angela’s charity banquet was held.

The two were wearing the same beige outfit.

Lin Yilan wore a beige satin dress with the same color embroidery from the left breast and armpit to the waist. The entire skirt has a fishtail shape, which completely highlights her excellent figure.

Wearing a pair of long gloves of the same color, same material, and same embroidery work on her hands.

But beauty is beautiful, but the biggest drawback for her is that she can hardly eat anything, and she even has to straighten her back when sitting down.

Sure enough, the saying that beauty comes with a price does not deceive me.

The Pei Yan family wore a beige double-breasted suit with simple hidden embroidery on the chest.

After the Pei Yan family got in the car, they unbuttoned their suit jackets.

"Are you interested in charity activities?" he asked Lin Yilan curiously.

It was a rare opportunity for the two of them to get together for a long time. Of course, he had to seize the opportunity to get to know Lin Yilan.

Lin Yilan shook her head, "I have no interest in this kind of charity activity."

"Speaking of which, does this kind of charity activity include an auction? Then the money earned from the auction will be donated." She pulled the card in her hand Gloves at the elbow.

Pei Yanjia nodded, "Yes, you can tell me what you want to buy later."

Lin Yilan raised her hands and made a big cross, "I don't have it, you must not buy it for me. At this charity event Things are not cheap, I have no interest in doing injustice...ahem, doing such unreliable things."

He almost blurted out his true thoughts.

"Then what kind of charity activities do you think are meaningful?" Pei Yanjia curled his lower lip.

Lin Yilan put her elbows on the window edge and supported her cheek, "Mr. Pei, have you ever heard of a saying? It's better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish. If you really want to help others, it's not as simple as donating money.

But donating money is the original thing. Even if it’s a kind of charity. I’m not interested in Angela’s charity dinner today, just because this event is to help homeless people in the UK.”

She commutes to work by tram and bus every day during this period . , I don’t know how many homeless people I saw on the road.

Why haven't I seen these thoughtful people living in Hong Kong City? Help the people who live in the same city as them. And she had already learned about the Angela Charity Federation before coming. They basically did not disclose the financial situation of the federation.

Even if such an organization is reliable, Lin Yilan may not consider giving them her own money for work/love.

Of course, she would not say these words to the Pei Yan family.

Lin Yilan yawned and wanted to wipe her eyes, but when she saw the gloves on her arms, she had to take out a tissue from her handbag and wipe the corners of her eyes.

When the Pei Yan family wanted to ask anything, the car had already stopped at the entrance.

Lin Yilan looked at the red carpet and reporters not far away and took a deep breath.

Here we go again...

Pei Yan's family saw her tiredness and comforted her, "I participated in three such activities last month, all of which were for outsiders to see."

Lin Yilan pursed her lips helplessly and smiled, " Congratulations, you only participated once this month."

"Just wait until you get used to it. This kind of activity is so boring." Pei Yan opened the car door and extended his hand to Lin Yilan.

Lin Yilan put her hand on his palm, "Because this kind of activity is a waste of time, I would rather lie on the sofa in a daze."

She sighed, straightened her waist, and comforted herself, "Maybe at today's banquet, I You can win another project."

Pei Yanjia put Lin Yilan's hand in his arm, "Then I wish you everything you want today."

After the two stepped on the red carpet, the reporters next to them didn't stop. I clicked the shutter in my hand.

The flashlights kept flashing, but fortunately, they didn't want to stay on the red carpet for a long time, so they strode towards the entrance of the hotel.

The reporter next to him looked at the backs of the two people and was convinced.

People who don’t want to be photographed stand on the red carpet and linger on it, while people who want to be photographed walk on the red carpet as if they are being chased by dogs.

Before entering the banquet hall, Lin Yilan suddenly remembered something.

"Mr. Pei, I haven't thanked you enough for taking the time to attend this banquet with me. Thank you." After saying that, she smiled gratefully.

The corners of Pei Yanjia's mouth turned up uncontrollably, but the expression on his face was still calm.

"You're welcome, but I was originally going to attend this banquet."

Lin Yilan turned to look at him blankly.

"You don't know the reason for the postponement of the banquet, right?" the Pei Yan family asked hesitantly.

He knew that Lin Yilan hardly paid much attention to the news about the wealthy families in Hong Kong except for the Liao family's affairs, but he didn't expect that she really didn't pay much attention to it at all.

She didn't pay attention to the banquet she was going to attend and was convinced.

The Pei Yan family had no choice but to explain to her in a low voice: "The chairman of Angela Charity Federation invited Mr. Chen, who has not appeared in public for a long time. In order to accommodate Mr. Chen's time, it was postponed for so long."

Lin Yilan seemed to understand but not the location . She nodded, then pointed at herself, "Does it have anything to do with my affairs?"

Pei Yanjia thought about it very seriously, and then solemnly shook his head, "It doesn't matter, but I will go to fight with Mr. Chen later. Say hello."

Lin Yilan waved her hand cheerfully, "Then go ahead."

The two people's little chatter was clearly seen by others in the banquet hall.

To be precise, from the moment Pei Yan entered the banquet hall, many people in the venue were paying attention to him.

As the incidental person, Lin Yilan naturally attracted the attention of many people.

"Who's the one next to Vice President Pei?"

"I don't know, it doesn't look like someone from the public relations department of Hengxin."

"Isn't that the consultant from Hengxin some time ago?"

"Yes, that's right, it's the designer named Lin.

"Some people said that the two of them were related before. I didn't believe it at the time. Now it seems that these two people are really related."

"Are you stupid? They are so obvious and you can't tell? "

"Tsk, tsk, what they are wearing. I can't tell that this young man from the Pei family is so exaggerated when he likes a woman." "

I can't say, what if this woman did it on purpose?

" Are you stupid? The Pei Yan family's female companion is a mainland designer. She has no money to buy a dress. The Pei Yan family must have found this dress for her. "

You are right.

" It's not that Lin Yilan didn't feel the gaze, consideration, and discussion, but she was already mentally prepared from the moment she decided to invite Pei Yan's family as her male companions.

As the banquet began, there were finally fewer eyes around.

Considering the nature of the two helping each other, Lin Yilan stayed with Pei Yan's family to socialize for a long time.

After socializing with many people, Liao Konganni finally got away and found Lin Yilan.

"Mr. Pei, Miss Lin, long time

no see." "Mrs. Liao, it's been a while."

Lin Yilan smiled and touched her glass with the wine glass in her hand.

Upon seeing this, the Pei Yan family picked up a wine glass from the passing waiter, and lightly clinked the glasses with Liao Konganni, but did not speak.

Liao Konganni glanced at Lin Yilan flattered.

She didn't expect that the Pei Yan family valued Lin Yilan so much. This was her first time clinking glasses with the Pei Yan family. After attending so many banquets in the past, she never had this opportunity.

Lin Yilan saw Liao Konganni's expression and smiled secretly in her heart.

Pei Yanjia raised his eyebrows at her quietly. His performance just now must have been impressive.

"Mr. Pei, Miss Lin, what happened in the restaurant before was our Liao family's problem. I'm really sorry. I'm really sorry."

Liao Konganni lowered her wine glass, gestured, and drank the wine completely.

Lin Yilan pursed her lips and smiled, "It doesn't matter. I know your difficulties, Mrs. Liao, and I understand."

Liao Konganni's smile froze and she cursed secretly in her heart. Lin Yilan didn't even blink.

Lin Yilan smiled even brighter when she saw this.

She said that on purpose. Don't think that she didn't know that after what happened in the restaurant last time, the Liao family immediately went to Pei Yan's family to apologize to him.

But the apology to her took so long.

Don't make it so obvious when you flatter someone who is superior or flatter someone who is inferior.

The two chatted for a while, until the Pei Yan family intervened.

"Mrs. Liao San, I'm sorry, but I still have a few people I want to introduce to Lan Lan. So..."

Liao Konganni nodded with understanding, "Of course, then I won't disturb Mr. Pei and Miss Lin."

Lin . After Yilan smiled apologetically at her, she took Pei Yan's arm and walked aside.

The two walked to the side of the banquet hall, and Lin Yilan immediately let go of Pei Yanjia's hand.

Pei Yanjia looked down at his empty arms. Just as he was about to say something, he was stopped by someone not far away.

"I'll be there later." He responded to the man and turned to look at Lin Yilan. "Mr. Chen is coming. I'll go over and say hello to him first."

"You...if anything happens, find someone. Call me, do you understand?" He looked at Lin Yilan somewhat uneasily.

Lin Yilan smiled and made an OK gesture.

"Mr. Pei, don't worry. It's not the first time I've attended such a banquet, and I happen to have some things to deal with."

Seeing that Pei Yan's family still wanted to nag something, she pushed his shoulder and said, "You are busy with your business. , I also have my own things to do. Go quickly."

Pei Yan looked back at Lin Yilan reluctantly.

After seeing Pei Yan's family enter the private room, the smile on Lin Yilan's face disappeared immediately.

She turned around and walked to the balcony of the banquet hall. After standing outside the balcony to enjoy the wind, she raised her hand and glanced at her watch.

The time is almost up.

"Excuse me, where is the bathroom?" She grabbed a passing waiter.

The waiter pointed to the door of the banquet hall, "Go out and turn left, then right."

"Thank you."

Lin Yilan turned towards the route pointed by the waiter and left the banquet hall.

After leaving the banquet hall, she walked towards the bathroom.

"Sister Lin, here."

Hearing the voice from the corner, Lin Yilan immediately glanced at the person calling her, nodded, and then turned around to check the surrounding situation.

After making sure there was no third person, she lifted up her skirt and walked in the opposite direction of the bathroom.

It was a dark, deserted corner.

Lin Yilan stared at the corridor opposite and said gratefully in a low voice: "Thank you for your hard work, Er Sheng."

Wang Er Sheng shook his head, "Sister Lin, there is no need to be polite to me. What's more, after I came to Hong Kong City, you will be there too. Give me the money. I have become Mrs. Liao's driver now. You don't have to pay me my salary every month."

Lin Yilan hissed, "The salary thing should be as we said before. Now let's get down to business. "

Wang Ersheng nodded helplessly, knowing that he couldn't persuade Lin Yilan.

"A big event happened in the Liao family some time ago. It seems that the eldest daughter of the Liao family, the second young lady of the Liao family, Liao Baoxi, somehow offended the young master of the Pei family. When Liao Jingming found out, he gave the second young lady a slap in the face. , and deducted her pocket money."

"And now the Liao family's big, second and third bedrooms are all fighting over a construction company. Liao Jingming doesn't want to go home during this time because he finds them annoying."

Lin Yilan. He touched his chin and pondered for a moment, "How about the alliance between the eldest brother and the second brother of the Liao family?"

"It's hard to say. At first, when I thought the relationship between the two families broke down because of the competition for the construction company, I saw the Liao family again. The eldest young lady and the second young lady went out to eat together."

Wang Ersheng's head was pounding when he thought of what happened to the Liao family.

"According to what I have observed, as long as the eldest daughter and the second daughter of the Liao family still eat together, it means that the eldest daughter and the second daughter of the Liao family are still in an alliance."

Lin Yilan rubbed her temples and sighed deeply.

I knew it wouldn't be that easy.

Wang Ersheng felt that Lin Yilan was exuding black energy and carefully comforted her.

"Sister Lin, although I don't know what enmity you have with the Liao family, the three wives of the Liao family are at odds with each other. Even if they want to form an alliance, they can't last long."

Lin Yilan patted Wang Ersheng's hand. Shoulder, "I know, it's just... I'm afraid I don't have that much time."

"Ah? Sister, what did you say? I didn't hear clearly." Wang Ersheng scratched the back of his head and looked at her blankly.

Lin Yilan smiled and shook her head, "I didn't say anything."

She raised her hand and glanced at her watch, "Er Sheng, hurry back to the car, I'm going back to the banquet hall."

Wang Ersheng nodded, "Don't worry "Sister. Nothing will happen to me."

"I can't be more at ease with you. By the way, Er Sheng, please help me pay attention to the affairs of the Liao Family Construction Company." lower lip.

Wang Ersheng patted his chest and said, "Sister, don't worry and leave it to me."

"It's nothing, I'll leave first."

Lin Yilan nodded and watched Wang Ersheng leave.

After Wang Ersheng's figure disappeared from the corridor in front of her, Lin Yilan leaned against the wall and thought about the Liao family.

She still had to start with Liao Konganni, and then find a way to drive a wedge between the eldest and second bedroom of the Liao family, so that their "alliance" could break down as soon as possible.

Liao Konganni is the person who trusts her the most among all the people in the Liao family. It's just that the current level of trust is not enough. She has to think of another way to make Liao Konganni trust her more.

Then through Liao Konganni, I tried to find ways to get to know more people from Liao Jingming’s company.

But that’s something to think about later. What she needs to make sure most right now is that the Liao family's construction company cannot be allowed to get the bid for the Hengxin Port project.

And try their best to make Liao Konganni realize that this matter was destroyed by the two families of the Liao family.

Lin Yilan touched her chin and nodded with satisfaction.

After sorting out her thoughts, she turned around and came out of the corner, heading towards the bathroom where she was going.

After taking out the lipstick from the handbag, he put the handbag back on the sink.

She slowly applied her lipstick in front of the mirror.

"I really didn't expect that idiot from Pei Yan's family to come today. But this idiot actually brought a woman from the mainland with him, and he wasn't afraid that grandpa would find out and give him a beating."

"Mr. Pei, your grandfather is not doing business with the mainland . Well, you still care about this."

"Nonsense, the old man is doing business with the mainland, but that doesn't mean he is willing to let his grandson marry a mainland woman.

But the taste of the Pei Yan family is exactly the same as that of his father."

"Why do you say that?"

"Oh, you don't know that Pei Yan's family is basically an illegitimate son, the son of his father and a woman from the mainland."

"Ah~ So that's it, but he's not your third uncle's eldest son. "

Hey, so what. My third uncle's wife is not a well-matched daughter. After the Pei Yan family gave birth to him, she left the child with the Pei family because she couldn't get an inheritance. "

Based on the level of chaos back then, Pei Yan's family would have been reduced to a pile of bones."

"Okay, honey, stop talking about that disgusting brother. I really miss you...

"

Lin Yilan looked at the door of the men's room next to her and put down the lipstick in her hand.

This is really an unexpected gain.

Even if she knew it, it would be useless.

When I think about it, I suddenly understand why the Pei Yan family is so good at Mandarin.

It seems that this kid is also a poor person.

Hearing the gasps in the men's room, Lin Yilan rolled her eyes in disgust, picked up her bag and walked out.

You are a young man from a rich family, why don't you have money to pay for the hotel?

Damn, this is so unethical and disgusting.

Lin Yilan wiped the water on her hands with a paper towel.

She took two steps and suddenly heard a burst of lively footsteps.

"Mr. Chen, it's great that you are willing to come to our charity banquet today. I would like to thank you on behalf of those who have no home."

"No, I, an old man, have nothing to thank you for."

"Mr. Chen... ."

Lin Yilan held up her skirt and stepped aside, took out a mirror from her handbag, and faced the corridor at the corner not far away.

A group of unknown people came over, and the man leading them was indeed an elderly man with gray hair.

However, she saw someone she knew.

It's not the Pei Yan family walking next to the old man.

She thought of the two people in the toilet and had an idea.

Lin Yilan pinched her throat and screamed strangely.

"Ah!!! Who is so shameless?"

She yelled in English, then quickly ran out with her skirt in hand.

After seeing the footsteps in the corridor not far away stopped, Lin Yilan nodded with satisfaction.

After patting her chest gently, she circled around and returned to the banquet hall.

Back at the banquet hall, when Lin Yilan was about to find a place to sit down and rest, someone stepped forward and blocked her way.

"Ms. Lin, do you have time now? Can we chat?"

Lin Yilan looked up and saw Liao Baoshu.

"Are you...the eldest lady of the Liao family?" she asked hesitantly.

Liao Baoshu nodded, "Yes, speaking of it, Miss Lin today should be regarded as the first official meeting between me and you. I'm sorry about what happened to my sister last time. I'll apologize to you on her behalf."

Lin Yilan smiled and waved her hand. "It doesn't matter. What happened last time has nothing to do with you. Miss Liao doesn't need to take it to heart."

If Liao Baoshu hadn't said this politely now, instead of being so rude before, Lin Yilan rolled her eyes, turned around and left.

But thinking back, she started to pay attention to Liao Baoshu not long after arriving in Hong Kong City. No wonder she felt familiar.

"I wonder what Miss Liao brought to me today?" She didn't give Liao Baoshu a chance to chat and went straight to the point.

Liao Baoshu pointed to the sofa not far away and made an invitation gesture, "Ms. Lin, I just have time today, why don't we chat slowly."

Lin Yilan raised her eyebrows and walked in the direction Liao Baoshu pointed.

She smoothed down her skirt and sat on the sofa.

Liao Baoshu also sat down. She put the champagne in her hand on the table, crossed her legs and put her hands on her knees.

"Ms. Lin, I know that my younger mother, Ms. Liao Konganni, wants to invite you to cooperate, set up a construction company with her, and then bid for Hengxin's port project. But have you ever thought of a better option?

For example , We are the second room of the Liao family."

Lin Yilan thought of Wang Ersheng's words before, and she thought that the Liao family had given up on the idea of ​​cooperating with her.

Now it seems that there is not?

The Liao family is not afraid that she will secretly tell these things to the Pei Yan family.

When Lin Yilan looked at Liao Baoshu, Liao Baoshu was also looking at her.

Liao Baoshu had noticed Lin Yilan's name as early as when Qiu Xiuzhen wanted to continue building an art museum.

They just didn't expect that the person they glanced at at that time would become the person they asked for today.

Thinking that Liao Kongni said at home that Lin Yilan was a simple but very focused little girl on her career, she was very suspicious of this.

How could a simple little girl get together with Vice President Pei so quickly? Vice President Pei also accompanied her to the banquet.

It's not like she didn't know how much effort Liao Baoxi put in to be with the Pei Yan family.

As a result, Pei Yan's family didn't even look at Liao Baoxi.

How could such a person really be so naive and simple?

Thinking of this, she cheered up and regained her composure.

"Miss Lin, do you have any ideas?"

Lin Yilan played with the tassels on the sofa with her fingers, "Miss Liao, I will consider what you said. But you asked me to abandon Mrs. Liao San and choose your Liao family Second room, what can you give me?"

After saying that, she tilted her head and grinned at Liao Baoshu.

Liao Baoshu was enlightened. She looked innocent, but in fact she just wanted money.

It's a pity... I don't have a good brain, and I don't know what it is about Lin Yilan that the heir to the Pei family likes.

Even if you want to make money, you don’t have to choose this method.

Once discovered by the Pei Yan family, Lin Yilan would probably be gone.

Thinking of this, when Liao Baoshu looked at Lin Yilan again, her attitude became a little more contemptuous.

"Our second wife can give you an extra 20% of the profit my mother gave you."

"Pfft...cough cough cough."

Lin Yilan almost couldn't hold back her laughter.

Both of the Liao family thought she was a fool, right?

With only a small amount of profit from a project, how could she be given 60% of the profit to an outsider?

If you want to take advantage of her, don't be so obvious.

Even if you have to pretend to be stupid, you can't pretend to be so stupid. That would easily make people suspicious.

She restrained the expression on her face and spoke in a long tone.

"You gave me so much money just because you want us to help you, Liao Zhongsheng, bid for Hengxin's port project?"

Liao Baoshu felt nervous for some reason.

"Actually, Miss Lin, to tell you the truth, we still need your help."

Lin Yilan touched the tassel on the armrest of the sofa, "You tell me first."

"You also know that my second sister Baoxi, before I have been pursuing Vice President Pei. Of course, Vice President Pei has never shown any affection for Baoxi," Liao Baoshu quickly made up for it as she was worried that Lin Yilan would be jealous.

"Last time you and my little mother went to dinner, Baoxi offended you and Vice President Pei because of impulsiveness. We, the Liao family, are really sorry about this. We also apologized to Vice President Pei before, but he didn't seem to I don’t really accept it.

So I hope you can help us connect the dots so that our Liao family can apologize to Vice President Pei and you again.”

After Liao Baoshu finished speaking, she took out a card from her handbag and put it on the coffee table.

"Ms. Lin, I know you have always liked to go to...the beauty club on the top floor of the shopping mall, and the girls in our family also like to go there. This is the annual pass for that beauty club. I hope you will stay in Hong Kong City in the next year. I can feel comfortable."

Lin Yilan glanced at the membership card on the table, Liao Baoshu really didn't think highly of her.

You must know that giving gifts is also very learned. Liao Baoshu gave her this gift on this occasion, which was simply looking down on her.

It's really interesting. I used to think that the Liao family were all smart people.

Now after dealing with the three female relatives of the Liao family, I have to admit that the Liao family is really not very smart.

Sure enough, if a wealthy family wants to continue to be wealthy, they must educate their descendants.

Otherwise, it may not be possible to hold on to this wealth for three generations.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Liao Baoshu gently pushed the card forward.

Lin Yilan leaned forward and stretched out her hand toward the table.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Pei Yanjia and Liao Kongni approaching, and she smiled secretly.

She slowly put her hand on the card, watching the two people's movements from the corner of her eye, and then pushed back hard at the right moment.

"Miss Liao, I'm afraid I can't accept this gift."

Liao Baoshu stood up directly, "Why?"

"Baoshu, why don't you find a future husband at the banquet and come here to chat with the guests I invited? ?" Liao Konganni stepped in front of Lin Yilan and asked in a sinister tone.

Immediately afterwards, Pei Yan's family came over and sat next to Lin Yilan.

"Where have you been? I just couldn't find you."

Lin Yilan comforted her in a low voice, "I went to the bathroom to touch up my makeup, and since I came back, I have been chatting with the eldest lady of the Liao family."

While saying, She secretly winked at the Pei Yan family, then moved her mouth and said silently: "Take me away."

After seeing her intention, the Pei Yan family immediately helped Lin Yilan up and looked at the Liao family with some disgust. The two of them glanced at each other.

"If you want to find someone to chat when you are free, you don't have to chat with people like them."

Lin Yilan pulled the sleeves of Pei Yanjia, "You can't say that, Mrs. Liao helped me a lot before."

Liao Konganni saw this , smiled and pulled Liao Baoshu, who was about to step forward.

"Xiao Lin, we won't disturb you and Mr. Pei."

After saying that, she picked up the things on the table and pulled Liao Baoshu aside.

Looking at the Liao family going away, Lin Yilan loosened the sleeves of the Pei Yan family.

"If you still have something to do, go ahead and get busy. I'll sit here and rest. If you want to find me, come here to find me."

After saying that, she sat back on the sofa again.

Thinking of her stiff walking posture before, Pei Yanjia took the opportunity to sit next to her, "I have nothing to do. I'll sit here with you."

"By the way, did you encounter anything when you went to the bathroom just now?" He turned his head. Looking at her with interest.

Lin Yilan pointed at herself and asked hesitantly: "What should I see?"

After Pei Yan's family looked around, he lowered his voice and asked: "Did you make the strange scream that came from the bathroom just now? "

How did you know it was me?" Lin Yilan asked curiously.

Pei Yanjia nodded at her from the air, "I knew it was you. Although you changed the tone of your speech, I have heard you speak English so many times, and I can recognize some of your pronunciation habits when you speak English. Listen."

After saying that, he stood up and walked to the table next to him, took some food and put it on the table in front of Lin Yilan.

"You didn't eat at night, so you should be hungry now."

Lin Yilan took the small fork in his hand, "Thank you, I am indeed hungry."

"So you don't blame me?" She put a piece of cake in her mouth inside.

Pei Yanjia took a knife and helped break the cake on the plate into small pieces for her to eat.

"Why should I blame you? It's not you who forced them to mess around in the toilet. Besides, I don't have a good relationship with that kid. I wish I would be happier if he made a fool of himself." I

have to say that this answer from the Pei Yan family made Lin Yilan very satisfied. Very happy too.

Although she wanted to make these people who messed around in the toilet look embarrassed, she was inevitably stimulated by those people talking bad about the Pei Yan family. All of a sudden, I acted impulsively.

While Lin Yilan was eating, she couldn't help but inquire curiously: "I thought your Pei family was in peace, but looking at you, your family is almost the same as the Liao family. Sure enough, rich families are in trouble."

The Pei Yan family shrugged and said with some disgust: " In the face of wealth, there is no father-son brotherhood. Now that we brothers are not born from the same mother, how can our relationship be better if

we don't personally get rid of the brothers and sisters who compete with us for family property ? The so-called blood relationship is established."

Although his words were understated, it was not difficult to hear what the Pei Yan family had gone through.

Coupled with the words she heard in the bathroom, it doesn't seem easy for the Pei Yan family to get to where they are today.

Although the fight for family property in TV dramas is dramatic and exaggerated, compared with reality, those things really happen.

Lin Yilan didn't know how to comfort him, so she pushed the plate with food in front of him.

"Eat some delicious food to stimulate the secretion of dopamine, which will make you feel better."

Pei Yanjia nodded with a smile, and then used another small fork in her hand to insert a piece of the same cake she had just eaten.

"What are you going to do about the Liao family? Do you need my help?"

Lin Yilan put the small fork in her hand on the plate, leaned back, and folded her arms on her chest.

She looked up and down at the man in front of her. He was five or six years older than her and could be considered her same age. And as far as she knows, she doesn't have a girlfriend yet.

So this guy seems to be serious about being so concerned about her affairs?

She originally thought that the Pei Yan family was just interested in her on a whim, but now it seems that she was wrong?

If this is really the case, then she seems to want to think of other ways to deal with the Liao family as soon as possible.

Pei Yanjia picked up a tissue and wiped the corners of his mouth, "Is there anything inappropriate about me?"

"Pei Yanjia, tell me frankly, do you like me?" Lin Yilan doesn't like to be ambiguous with others, nor does she like to hang around. Looking at others.

She didn't have much experience in dealing with relationships. No matter in her previous life or in this life, when she found out that someone liked her, she always wanted to solve it as soon as possible.

After all, the relationship between a man and a woman affected her making money in her previous life, and it will affect her career and dealing with the Liao family in this life.

Pei Yanjia was stunned for a moment, and also put the fork on the plate.

"Are you sure you want to talk to me about this here?"

Lin Yilan turned her head and looked at the people around her, looking at their eyes quietly, and was speechless for a moment.

"Okay, then when do you have time, let's find a quiet place to talk about this matter."

Pei Yanjia saw her refusal and didn't feel too bad. Instead, he calmly took out a tissue and stretched it out to The corner of her mouth.

Lin Yilan raised her neck, ducked back, and grabbed his outstretched hand with her hand.

"What do you want to do?"

The Pei Yan family remained calm, "Didn't we agree before that you would pretend to be my girlfriend?"

Lin Yilan was not swayed by him, but continued to hold his hand firmly, "But we also agreed , It’s just a pretense, I didn’t say that I would accept you touching me.”

“But that kid who was messing with someone in the bathroom is now staring at us from behind if I don’t make any move. , he won't believe me." Pei Yanjia lowered his voice and showed a bright smile to Lin Yilan.

Lin Yilan tilted her head, and the strength in her hands gradually relaxed.

Pei Yanjia took advantage of her letting go of his wrist and immediately wiped the corners of her mouth.

"Pei Yan family, you kid is plotting against me." Lin Yilan said through gritted teeth as she looked at his face that was approaching him.

The Pei Yan family deliberately slowed down the movements of their hands, "Both and each other, you used me before, and I use you now. We are even."

"Didn't I tell you when I used you before?" Lin Yilan was depressed. She took out the mirror from her handbag and checked whether the lipstick was stained.

Pei Yanjia crumpled the paper towel into a ball, threw it on the plate aside, and then waved to the waiter to take the plate away.

After adjusting his cuffs, he looked up at Lin Yilan with a half-smile, "Really? Miss Lin, are you sure you told me before using me against the Liao family for the first time?"

The first time these three The word was bitten very hard by him.

Lin Yilan pursed her lips and sighed depressedly.

Damn, this guy caught a loophole.

"Okay, okay, I understand, and I will cooperate with you. So we are even, and you can no longer blackmail me with what happened before."

Pei Yanjia nodded, "OK."

"That's right. "You haven't said yet whether the Liao family wants my help?" He looked at the time and stood up from the sofa.

After resting for more than ten minutes, it would be impolite for the two of them to sit down again.

Lin Yilan took advantage of the situation and stood up, holding Pei Yanjia's arm.

"I don't need your help, but I want to borrow your name for external use. Mr. Pei, do you have any objections to this?"

Pei Yanjia buttoned up his suit, "Of course - yes."

"So when are we looking for you? Do you have a chance to talk about what you said before?" Lin Yilan also changed the topic after seeing him bring it back.

The Pei Yan family immediately pointed behind Lin Yilan, "Well, it seems that Miss Du brought someone here to find something to do with you. You go ahead and do your work. I also need to go to Mr. Chen to discuss something."

After saying that, he patted Lin Yilan's hand . shoulders, turned around and slipped away.

Lin Yilan looked at the kid's fleeing back and was so angry that she wanted to stamp her feet.

Why didn't I realize that he was so shameless before?

After the Pei Yan family walked quickly to the middle of the banquet hall, they looked back and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Lin Yilan was already chatting with Du Jiaxin.

During the next period of time, he would have to find a way to avoid her.

The best way to deal with someone with Lin Yilan's personality is to boil a frog in warm water.

Now that some topics are pointed out, she will definitely find a way to avoid him.

Thinking of this, I suddenly wanted to thank the Liao family.

On the other side, Lin Yilan and Du Jiaxin started chatting.

"Isn't Ms. Qiu here today?"

Du Jiaxin shook her head, "She seems to be sick, so she can't come at the moment."

Lin Yilan nodded and followed Qiu Xiuzhen's routine and life when she lived in Qiu Xiuzhen's Deep Water Bay Villa. It's normal to get sick.

"By the way, who are the people behind you?"

Du Jiaxin first stepped forward and took Lin Yilan's arm, then lowered his voice and whispered in her ear: "My family members, I want to introduce you to Lin.

" Yilan said OK.

It was so dangerous that Du Jiaxin was almost thrown out.

After all, Du Jiaxin had never made such an intimate move towards her before.

The two held hands and walked to Du Jiaxin's family.

"Dad, Mom, eldest brother, this is Lin Yilan, the design director of our company."

"Yilan, these are my family members."

Du Jiaxin smiled kindly after introducing the two parties to each other.

Lin Yilan also showed a polite smile and reached out to say hello to Du Jiaxin's family.

"Mr. Du, Mrs. Du, and Brother Jiaxin, hello. Nice to meet you."

"Director Lin, hello."

"Director Lin, you are Jiaxin's friend and partner, so I'll just tell you Can I call you Xiaolin?" Du Jiaxin's mother asked gently.

"And just call me aunt. You don't have to be so unfamiliar."

Lin Yilan nodded, "Of course."

After getting to know Du Jiaxin's parents, she extended her hand to Du Jiaxin's eldest brother.

It's just...

when brother Du Jiaxin held her, he scratched her palm with his finger. Why?

Lin Yilan looked at him with confusion.

Du Jiaxin's eldest brother said with a smile: "Director Lin, I saw that you have been chatting with the Pei Yan family just now. Are you the girlfriend of that boy from the Pei Yan family?"

Lin Yilan raised her head and looked at Du Jiaxin's eldest brother.

There's something hidden in the smile, but there's also a hint of provocation and coquettishness in the eyes.

She smoothed the broken hair next to her face and looked at Du Jiaxin's parents with some helplessness.

"I just confirmed my relationship with the Yan family not long ago..."

"Sister, I really didn't expect that the design director of your company is so powerful that he can even have a relationship with the Pei Yan family. It seems that you, a real Hong Kong daughter, Not as good as a small designer from the mainland."

Brother Du Jiaxin looked at Du Jiaxin in a strange way.

Du Jiaxin's expression froze and she shouted loudly: "Brother, Yilan is the design director of our company, please be respectful."

Du Jiaxin's father also stood up at this time to reconcile.

"Boss, you go and chat with your Uncle Zhang first. I have something to talk with Jiaxin and Director Lin here."

Looking at this scene, Lin Yilan raised her eyebrows.

The Du family is not at peace either.

After Du Jiaxin's eldest brother left, Du Jiaxin held Lin Yilan's hand and looked at her father.

"Daddy, Director Lin is really awesome. You will know when our company's project starts to be promoted this time. This time, you and Mommy will definitely have an eye-opener."

Du Jiaxin's father nodded, looking like Very pleased.

"Jiaxin, you have your own career now. It can be said that your mother and I have already given up half of our hearts. When we watch you get married again, we will have completed our mission."

Du Jiaxin's mother echoed beside her. Said: "Yes, Jiaxin. Last time Zhize and his parents came to visit home, I heard that they wanted to get married as soon as possible. What do you think?"

Lin Yilan felt her arms tighten, and she turned to look He glanced at Du Jiaxin.

Her smile was a little forced, "Daddy, Mommy, let's talk about these personal matters when we get back, okay? Today I want to introduce Director Lin to you."

Lin Yilan didn't know what to say, so she could only smile.

Du Jiaxin's father patted his daughter on the shoulder, "I know Director Lin is very powerful. How about this? After a while, you ask Director Lin to come to our Tonghui and let Director Lin and Alexander exchange design ideas with each other. How about it?"

Du Jiaxin's Mother: "Yes, Jiaxin, Xiaolin, this is a rare and good opportunity."
