The fish pond connects the past and present, and the tyrants of the fallen country seek fame every d

Su Yuan lowered her head and whispered, "He is not my boyfriend, and we are just close friends who have shared hardships. No one in this world can surpass the friendship between us."

After he finished speaking, the room fell into a strange silence.

He Jingchen shifted his gaze from the chessboard to look at Su Yuan.

"He wants us to take good care of you, so he gave these?"

Su Yuan's cheeks turned slightly red and she quickly shook her head.

"That's not the case. He just thinks you guys have worked really hard to prepare for the auction, and you've helped me make money and see the world, so he wants to be friends with you."

He Jingchen's eyes flickered and he pondered for a moment.

"Your friend, can we meet?"

Thinking of Xiao Yanheng, Su Yuan couldn't help but shudder.

"It's better for you not to meet."

Seeing her resistance, Situ Yefeng felt somewhat displeased.

"Is your friend so secretive? You can't even meet him once?"

"No!" Su Yuan was firm.

Situ Yefeng packed up the tea set.

"Well, I won't be polite then. Take it back and show it to my old man so that he can be jealous."

He Jingchen also put away the chessboard.

"Thank you very much. If there is anything you need from me, He Jingchen, in the future, please let me know."

"Sure." Su Yuan coughed twice guiltily, knowing in his heart that this "future" might be a long way off.

At noon, the three of them met to have lunch at the most luxurious restaurant in the city. When they were about to enter the private room, Wu Fan appeared with a group of drinking buddies and saw Su Yuan at a glance.

Wu Fan glanced at the two people beside Su Yuan and snorted again.

"No wonder you don't want to acknowledge our engagement, Su Yuan. You're really good at hooking up with two people at the same time."

"Shut up!" Su Yuan shouted in a low voice, her eyes full of disgust towards Wu Fan.

"It's really unappetizing."

Situ Yefeng said sarcastically without mercy, "We came here for a quiet and elegant place, but we didn't expect to find such a thing. It seems we chose the wrong place."

He Jingchen looked at the restaurant manager expressionlessly, his eyes calm and deep.

The manager seemed a little embarrassed and in a dilemma.

After all, in the service industry, customers are the bread and butter of the business, and you can't afford to offend them.

Wu Fan snorted disdainfully and said, "Manager, we came here sincerely to dine, but some people seem to have ulterior motives. What if something indecent happens later? Do you still want to keep your restaurant open to customers?"

Upon hearing this, the manager's eyes flickered and he turned to Su Yuan.

Then, he noticed the two equally outstanding men beside Su Yuan.

Wu Fan's friend couldn't wait any longer: "Hurry up and clear them out!"

Another echoed, "That's right, Manager. Don't spoil our fun. If we're unhappy, you might not be able to do business."

Wu Fan raised his head, with a victorious attitude, and glanced at Su Yuan triumphantly, as if to say: If you leave me, you will only be expelled.

Su Yuan glanced at Wu Fan coldly, then turned her attention back to the manager.

"Manager, according to the rules, you have to prioritize the needs of members here, right?"

The manager nodded almost reflexively.

At this time, Su Yuan gave Situ Yefeng a look.

Situ Yefeng understood what he meant and quickly took out a membership card and threw it to the manager.

"Please keep your eyes open and pay attention to what level of card this is. As for those petty rioters, I'm here to eat, not to watch them make fools of themselves. How should I deal with them? Do you need me to teach you?"

The manager immediately understood Situ Yefeng's implication and turned to Wu Fan and the others with an expressionless face.

"Mr. Wu, I'm so sorry. Mr. Situ holds our top-tier Black Gold membership card. Please leave the restaurant now."

A yellow-haired young man beside Wu Fan shouted unconvincedly, "Are you kidding me? Our Brother Fan is also a VIP here. Are you going to kick out the distinguished VIP just for them?"

Situ Yefeng whistled softly, with a hint of amusement: "Little friend, the problem is that your brother Fan is not strong enough. Next time, let him top up more and upgrade to a higher membership level than me. Then he can ask me out, right?"

As soon as he said this, Situ Yefeng slapped his forehead in self-mockery.

"Look at my memory. I forgot that Black Gold membership is already the highest level. How about letting your brother Fan buy this store directly?"

"You..." The yellow-haired young man's face turned red with anger.

Wu Fan was even more ashamed and angry. From childhood to adulthood, he had never suffered such humiliation.

He Jingchen gently pushed up his glasses and said to Wu Fan with a smile, "I remember your father begged me to put your family's collection up for auction. It seems that you don't need my help now. Master Wu, why not find another auction house?"

Wu Fan's forehead was covered in cold sweat. In panic, he looked at Su Yuan for help: "Xiao Yuan, I was just joking just now. Can you explain it to these two?"

Su Yuan lowered her head and remained silent.

Situ Yefeng mistakenly thought she was afraid of Wu Fan, so he put his hand on her shoulder and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, from now on you are my sister. Anyone who dares to bully you will be against me. With your brother here, you can be tough."

After listening to Situ Yefeng's words, Su Yuan, who was originally thinking about how to teach Wu Fan a lesson, suddenly felt relieved.

She raised her head and looked at Wu Fan with a smile on her face.

Seeing Wu Fan's nervous look, Su Yuan couldn't help but chuckle again.

"Wu Fan, the way you look now really disgusts me. So, I don't think there's any need to forgive you."

Then, Su Yuan said to the manager, "Why don't you ask them to leave quickly?"

"Okay, right away." The manager agreed with a professional smile.

The manager remained expressionless and winked at the security guard.

The security guard took immediate action and politely but firmly asked Wu Fan and his group to leave the hotel.

This place is the city's premier luxury hotel, and its background is so strong that people dare not offend it easily.

To cause trouble in this place is tantamount to automatically giving up one's future in this line of work.

No matter how unhappy Wu Fan was, he could only suppress his anger and not act rashly.

Only when those people finally disappeared did Su Yuan breathe a sigh of relief and walked into the box with his companions.

Situ Yefeng lowered his voice and couldn't help but complain, "I've noticed your grandfather has really poor taste. Why would he choose someone like Wu Fan as your fiancé?"

"He..." Su Yuan looked a little dazed.

Actually, Wu Fan was not bad before.

But ever since Guo Yingying appeared, Wu Fan seemed to have changed completely.

She smiled self-deprecatingly, then picked up the wine glass on the table and took a sip.

"do not do that……"

Situ Yefeng was about to dissuade him, but He Jingchen suddenly grabbed his wrist and shook his head gently.
