Hong Kong is in full swing

Chapter 177 I will work hard

Zhong Xinyuan's words revealed obvious disdain and contempt: "In this circle, besides you, who else can truly be worthy of Mr. Huo?"

Zhong Xinyuan continued, her tone tinged with sarcasm. "Besides, how many people in our circle are truly together for love? Isn't it all about the interests behind it? Even if Huo Sheng doesn't consider himself, shouldn't he consider his family? You have the Chu family as a strong backing, but what about Yu Wan? What does she have behind her? Only the nearly bankrupt Qiao family."

At this point, she sneered, her tone becoming increasingly cold: "Forget about getting married, I'm afraid there's no chance of even getting in."

Chu Rong's gaze involuntarily shifted to Yu Wan, who was talking with Wei Changming in the hall, and he whispered, "Anyway, it looks like we're almost there."

In fact, there was something in her heart that she hadn't said: Huo Chuyan didn't need a business marriage to consolidate his position in society.

Noticing the direction of Chu Rong's gaze, Zhong Xinyuan looked in the direction and saw Yu Wan chatting and laughing with Wei Rongsong.

Seeing this, the anger in her heart was ignited all of a sudden, and she couldn't help but mutter: "It seems that the lesson she gave her was not enough."

Noticing Zhong Xinyuan's dissatisfaction, Chu Rong quickly reminded her, "Don't be so impulsive. It won't be good if others find out."

Hearing this, Zhong Xinyuan simply responded indifferently: "Don't worry, I'm not stupid enough to do this myself."

Chu Rong knew that it would be useless to persuade him any further. Just then the waiter brought the drinks, so he picked up a glass and tasted it slowly.

"You have to be careful about what you do."

“I still know this.”

"This is the son of the Deputy Governor of Gangcheng, Yan Baili, also known as Young Master Yan."

Wei Changming introduced on the side.

Yu Wan thought that she couldn't avoid it anyway, so she simply extended her hand and put on a polite smile, "Nice to meet you, Master Yan."

Yan Baili smiled gently, took her hand and shook it gently, "I've heard a lot about you, nice to meet you, Manager Yu."

The brief contact between their palms made Yu Wan feel disgusted again.

She felt the disgust spreading through her body like an electric current, and quickly pulled her hand back without any reluctance.

As for where the other party heard about her, Yu Wan was too lazy to ask.

Wei Changming was so smart. He saw at a glance that Yu Wan didn't want to continue this awkward conversation, so he immediately stepped forward to help. With a hint of apology, he bowed slightly to Yan Baili and said to Yu Wan, "We have many important guests to visit next. Sorry to leave now."

After saying that, he led Yu Wan away from the place.

Next they met a man with a handsome face and a decent temperament.

There was a hint of bookishness between the man's eyebrows, giving people a gentle and elegant feeling.

Wei Changming smiled and introduced, "This is the Governor-General's eldest son, Lin Jintong."

Yu Wan glanced at him, pretending not to know him, and said softly, "Hello, Mr. Lin."

"Hello, Miss Yu."

Lin Jintong smiled and said, "I heard from Uncle Wei that you are Rong Song's savior. I never thought you could be so capable at such a young age."

Yu Wan forced a smile, with a hint of helplessness in her tone, "Mr. Lin, you are too kind. It's just a piece of cake."

Hearing his words, Yu Wan got goosebumps all over her body.

After knowing each other for many years, she felt a little overwhelmed to hear such positive comments from him, a wanderer and a taciturn person.

After introducing the main characters, Wei Changming saw Huo Chuyan enter the scene from afar and nodded to her, indicating that she could move around on her own, while he turned around to greet the distinguished guest.

At this time, Lin Jintong came to her side with a wine glass in hand and asked naturally, "How is your leg?"

Yu Wan felt a pang of sadness when she recalled the days when she had to use a cane, but she still tried to keep smiling and said, "Thank you so much for sending me those fifty kilograms of pork leg bones."

During that time, this friend she met online actually used her salary to send her a large amount of pork. However, when she opened it, she found that it was all large pieces of pork leg bones.

In order not to waste it, she ate it for several weeks, and now she feels sick at the thought of pig leg bones.

Lin Jintong snorted, a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone, "From the tone of your voice, you still are not happy? Do you know how high the price of meat is now? I spent a lot of effort to get so much."

"Like cures like."

Yu Wan responded casually, but couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart.

Yu Wan was speechless for a moment, but she knew very well in her heart that Lin Jintong was in poor financial condition and the finances of the entire Lin family were very tight.

She looked at the young man in front of her, her heart filled with sympathy and understanding.

"How's your big event going?"

Yu Wan asked with concern.

"It went pretty well."

Lin Jintong answered, then he turned his gaze to the side and continued, "Do you see that person over there?"

Lin Jintong was referring to Yan Baili, the one who seemed a little special in the crowd.

“We’re half as good as the other.”

Lin Jintong added, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.

Yu Wan lowered her head and thought for a moment, then gently suggested, "Let's paint a picture this year."

Hearing this, Lin Jin was stunned, then he glanced at her sideways and asked with a smile: "Why, do you want to help big brother?"

"If you win, I can benefit too."

Yu Wan expressed her thoughts frankly.

Lin Jintong smiled, obviously satisfied with the suggestion.

"Okay, let's do it the same old way. You draw the pictures and I'll get the high price."

He said, his tone more confident.

Yu Wan thought again of the painting "Serving the Plum Blossoms" that she hadn't recognized before. "Hasn't the forger been found yet?"

Lin Jintong shook his head helplessly. "On the one hand, I'm too busy with work. On the other hand, Duan Fei is a very meticulous person. There's really nothing I can do."

Faced with such an answer, Yu Wan could only feel helpless, "If you can't find it, what can I do?"

Lin Jintong sighed, "Take your time, I will try harder."

He made the promise in a firm tone.

"Ah."

Yu Wan responded simply.

The two knew it was not the right time to talk any further, so they clinked their glasses together softly and then pretended to separate as if things were normal.

Half an hour later, the banquet officially began.

In front of everyone, Wei Changming expressed his sincere gratitude to Yu Wan because she was the one who saved his son.

Then he said:

"Little sister, come sit here."

As he spoke, Wei Changming pulled out a seat next to Huo Chuyan, obviously attaching special importance to her.

This sudden action immediately attracted everyone's attention, and everyone began to whisper and talk.

Everyone was saying that Wei Changming really treated Yu Wan well today. Not only did he introduce her to many people, he also specially let her sit next to the important figure Huo Chuyan.
