Chapter 125 Father Zhou’s Thank You Gift

Back to the banquet, the atmosphere in the hall was still lively.

Afraid that people around her would misunderstand her again, Yu Ying quietly let go of the hand that was around Tan Suhe's arm.

Tan Suhe took me to a remote corner, which was relatively quiet.

There were several people sitting on the sofa, they all looked middle-aged, but they exuded a unique charm and temperament. They were chatting or drinking tea, their words and deeds revealed a calmness and elegance, as if they knew everything around them, and the noble aura they exuded made people dare not ignore it easily.

One of them looked up and smiled when he saw Tan Suhe and Yuying coming over.

"This must be Wen Yuying, Miss Wen, right? I finally see her. She is indeed beautiful and elegant, with an extraordinary temperament."

Hearing the sudden praise from this strange man, Yu Ying looked at Tan Suhe blankly.

"Zhou Manyin's father, Mr. Zhou Yantai, has always wanted to thank you in person, but unfortunately you were too busy with work and didn't have the time."

Hearing his whispered reminder, Yu Ying quickly turned around and smiled politely, "Hello, Mr. Zhou, thank you for inviting me to Zhou Manyin's birthday party."

The man had a friendly smile on his face. His features were well-defined and his skin was slightly dark, but he exuded a healthy vibe. His eyes were deep and bright, revealing a gentle glow. His hair was neatly combed and slightly gray, giving him a mature and stable look.

Unlike the general impression of chaebols, he does not have the kind of high-handed and arrogant attitude. On the contrary, his manners are elegant and his words are gentle. He has the confidence and majesty of a successful person, as well as affinity and warmth.

"Miss Wen, you are too polite. I should be the one thanking you. You risked your life several times to save Xiaoman. Wu Han told me everything. Since Xiaoman really wants to be friends with you, you don't have to be polite."

He sighed softly, "Although my daughter is willful and has a bad temper, she has a very pure mind. I hope you don't mind, and I hope you can really become friends."

Yuying nodded obediently, "Don't worry, Mr. Zhou, I will."

Hearing this, the man smiled and nodded. Wu Han behind him immediately took out something and stepped forward.

"This is a small gift from Mr. Zhou. Please accept it, Miss Yuying."

Seeing the electronic card transfer check in his hand, Yuying couldn't help but frowned, "Sorry, I can't take it."

She shook her head. “This is not why Zhou Manyin and I are friends.”

"Uh..." Wu Han smiled awkwardly, "Ms. Yuying misunderstood. Mr. Zhou just wanted to thank you sincerely."

"Then take it back. I appreciate Mr. Zhou's kindness."

Seeing Wu Han looking at Zhou Yantai's eyes, Yu Ying felt a little angry, "Mr. Zhou, don't worry, and don't use this method to bribe me."

She lowered her eyes slightly, her voice flat and without any ups and downs, "If Zhou Manyin misunderstands and thinks that I am only friends with her because of money, she will definitely be sad."

The man remained calm, waved his hand and asked Wu Han to leave, and said gently, "Hahaha, it seems that I was too abrupt. Sorry. Since Miss Wen is unwilling to accept it, I will not force her. I just hope that Miss Wen can understand the heart of a father."

He paused, his tone inexplicably sounding sincere, "Xiao Man is my only daughter, and I certainly don't want her to be sad."

Yuying nodded, "I understand what you mean, Mr. Zhou, but you really worry too much."

Seeing this, Zhou Yantai's mouth corners slightly raised, a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes, and then he said: "Hahaha, okay, let's not talk about this. Miss Wen, please don't take what happened just now to heart."

His tone was apologetic and sincere, and he skillfully changed the subject, making the atmosphere relaxed again.

"will not."

Yuying smiled politely, but a woman's elegant laughter was heard next to her.

"Su He, is she the girl who came with you today?"

"Why don't you introduce yourself to everyone? You're just standing there like an idiot."

Yuying looked in the direction of the voice and her eyes fell on the figure slowly approaching.

She was a woman of noble temperament, wearing a simple white casual dress with smooth and natural lines, showing a unique charm of a mature woman. Her face was delicate and beautiful, with clear eyebrows and bright eyes, shining with wisdom and gentleness. However, the traces of time also quietly climbed up her face, and there were faint wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, but these wrinkles did not make her look old, but added a sense of maturity and stability, making her look more charming. Although she has entered middle age, her skin is still delicate and smooth, well maintained, without any sense of relaxation. Her hair was neatly combed up, revealing a smooth forehead, and the whole person looked refreshed and full of energy.

Hearing the woman's voice, Tan Suhe suddenly lowered his head in embarrassment.

"Don't listen to Xiao Yao's nonsense, we just... came here together."

Is it on the way?

Tan Suhe only coughed lightly, and then calmly introduced to everyone, "Wen Yuying is a new police officer I recruited from SDA. She is very capable. She solved Miss Zhou's disappearance case alone. For this, Miss Zhou is very grateful to her and has become friends with her."

"It was Miss Zhou who personally went to SDA to invite her to this birthday party."

Seeing that he explained the whole story clearly in just a few words, Yu Ying couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

That’s great. I hope no one will misunderstand me anymore.

But it's rare to see this person's fearful expression, so who is this woman?

Just when he was feeling a little confused, Tan Suhe coughed lightly and introduced Yuying to him.

"This is my mother, Xiao Li."

"......!!!" Yu Ying was startled and said quickly, "Hello, Mrs. Xiao."

Madam Xiao nodded and smiled slightly, and asked softly, "Miss Wen looks so young, how old is she?"

"I'm twenty-two."

"Only twenty-two, so young."

I didn’t expect that this woman was actually his mother... Just like the eldest brother said, she gave birth to children early and took good care of herself.

"You are so young and you can stand on your own. Your SDA is really full of talented people."

The man who was speaking had a stern face and sharp eyes. He was probably in his early forties. He shook the wine glass in his hand and looked at Tan Suhe.

"I heard that the higher-ups are drafting a bill to allow the SDA to supervise cases outside the system. It looks like it won't be long before you have more power than me, Su He."

Tan Suhe's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a polite yet elegant smile, but the smile did not reach his eyes, instead revealing a hint of alienation.

"SDA has always been subordinate to the Security Bureau. It is a law enforcement agency under the Security Bureau. No matter how powerful I am, I can never be more powerful than the leaders of the higher-level departments of the Administration."

"Stop teasing me, Chief Jin Ruzheng."

It turns out that this man is the director of the administration, the boss of ESA - Jin Ruzheng.

Administration?

Isn’t that where Xu Yechen’s father is?

It seems like he is just like Tan Suhe, but he is in charge of real-world public security issues.

Director Jin's face was calm and his expression was still stern, but his deep eyes were like a calm lake, without any fluctuations. His words were slightly raised, "I'm not making fun of you. I just want to congratulate you. If you are in charge of all the trivial matters in the future, I can relax a little bit. Young people can do more and old people can rest more. Isn't this good?"

As expected of a veteran in officialdom, his words were flawless and no one could find any flaws in them. Every word and sentence he spoke was carefully considered and seamless, making it impossible to refute him.

Tan Suhe fell silent, but the woman next to him raised her wine glass with a smile on her face.

"Okay, okay, it's really a letdown to talk about work while drinking. Let's change the subject. We women are not interested in listening to what you guys are talking about. Don't you agree, Miss Wen?"

She pronounced every word just right, not seeming too stiff nor intimidating at all.

"Eh?"

Yuying was a little distracted when she heard this, and after a moment she said, "Oh, it's okay, don't worry about me."

"Ah……"

After that, I was introduced to some other people, most of whom were elites in the upper circle.

But Yuying felt like she was sitting on pins and needles, feeling extremely uncomfortable. She spoke carefully, moved carefully, and even her expressions were careful.

Don't make mistakes, don't embarrass yourself, and try to stay elegant and generous.

Tsk, it’s so annoying. I’m really tired.

Finally, I took the opportunity to escape from peeing and leaned against the mirror to let out a long sigh.

"That damn Tan Suhe! Why did he have to drag me over there?!"

I feel depressed, mentally exhausted, and my toes are starting to hurt. I'd better find a place to hide until the party is over.

I lowered my head and walked out of the bathroom——

Before I took two steps, I ran into someone head-on.

"!?"

"I go!"

Why is this guy here?

I must have not checked the almanac before going out today! Why do I keep running into troublesome people! ?
