Reborn as the Cinnabar Mole of the Prince of Beijing's Elite Circle

An Chuanlin is very kind; in An Cinian's heart, he is the best grandfather in the world.

"Grandpa, I..."

Faced with An Chuanlin, who knew nothing, she didn't know how to explain to her grandfather what she was about to do. Would her grandfather be angry?

"Hello Grandpa, do you remember me? I'm Xie Yu'an."

Seeing An Cinian's hesitation, Xie Yu'an quickly stepped forward to introduce himself.

As the voice turned towards Xie Yu'an, the young man seemed familiar...

"You are Xiaoyu's friend."

He remembered now. When Xiao Yu was in college, this young man would always come to pick up his granddaughter from school, and he would always see Xie Yu'an there.

"Grandpa, Niannian and I are married, we're husband and wife." Xie Yu'an said with a beaming smile, holding An Cinian's hand and showing the ring to An Chuanlin.

Upon hearing this, An Chuanlin perked up. How come his precious granddaughter had gotten married in just three months?

Finally, the two took An Chuanlin back to Moon Bay. They decided to let him stay there for the time being to avoid An Ping causing trouble.

It's so quiet. There's not even a breeze outside the window. An Cinian is very calm because behind the calm surface lies a scene of upheaval. An Ping, this time I will not show any mercy.

The banquet organized by the An Group will be held tonight. The hotel is magnificent, the banquet hall is luxurious, and there will be all kinds of top-notch food. How many wealthy and noble people will be attending the banquet?

Anping, dressed in a dark blue suit, was toasting everyone with a serious and respectable air, laughing and joking all the way.

Meanwhile, Bai Yiting, dressed in a white cheongsam, was laughing and joking with some wealthy women on the side. These wealthy women had so many topics to discuss together.

"Yi-ting, do you have some good news to announce?" Zhang Ying from the Zhang family asked with a grin.

In fact, it wasn't just their family; everyone who knew that the An family was hosting a banquet was gossiping behind their backs, wondering what the An family was up to. Even the Si family from Nancheng was going to attend this banquet, which is why they chose to accept the invitation.

“Yes, yes, otherwise why not hold such a grand banquet? This is probably the first time your An Group has ever been so generous,” a glamorous woman next to her chimed in.

Bai Yiting glanced at the woman, Li Meng, Zhang Yin's wife. What did she mean by saying that? Was she trying to imply that her family had no power or influence and couldn't afford to host a banquet?

Who do you think you are? Just wait and see. The An Group will become a high-society family, and then she will look down on them.

After glancing at the time, Anping signaled to the host that he could speak.

"Distinguished guests, good evening. First of all, welcome everyone. Secondly, please allow me to introduce the guests present today."

As he spoke, he took out a prepared list and introduced the names in order.

The host stopped abruptly when he saw the last name on the list, his gaze falling on Anping. Did the person who wasn't there need to be introduced?

As for who didn't come and who had more power, it didn't matter to anyone. Everyone knew the answer without needing to say it, and he was too lazy to bother with such a trivial matter. It was just a perfunctory invitation anyway.

Seeing the somewhat somber atmosphere, Anping walked up to the stage, looked around, took the microphone from the host, and said with a beaming smile: "I believe everyone is wondering why this banquet is so mysterious. Please allow me to introduce Lan Mingqing, the head of the Lan family of Nancheng. This banquet is a joint effort between our two families."

Everyone's gaze followed An Ping's. These noble families, especially the older generation, rarely appeared in the public eye. They never expected to see such a famous figure as Lan Mingqing at the An Group's banquet today.

The Lan family has been a powerful force in Nancheng for many years, and their relationship with the Crown Prince is extraordinary.

Wow, I never expected Anping to be so capable!

Lan Mingqing nodded slightly to the people present at the banquet, and stepped onto the stage under everyone's gaze, followed by his grandchildren.

"I am Lan Mingqing. Let me introduce you. My grandson is Lan Xiao and my granddaughter is Lan Ran."

He possessed extraordinary bearing and a status far more distinguished than anyone else in the audience.

Aizen's initial joy vanished instantly. She searched several times but couldn't find the figure she was looking for. She had only been able to attend this banquet because she had heard that Xie Yu'an would be there, but it seemed she wouldn't be able to see him.

Anping smiled and beckoned Bai Yiting to bring her people onto the stage. Announcing their engagement in such a grand setting would elevate the An family's status to a higher level, promising them great achievements in the future.

Today, An Wenxin wore a light purple gauze dress, with pearls embroidered on the chest and hem, and an embroidered ribbon tied around her waist, looking elegant and refined.

She maintained a smile on her face, but her eyes were fixed on Lan Xiao, who was still talking to Aizen.

"I don't know why Grandpa insisted that I marry that woman?"

The tone was clearly complaining, but Aizen ignored it.

Lan Xiao has a mischievous smile, even his thick eyebrows seem to smile, like a bright crescent moon in the night sky.

He wasn't exactly handsome, but his face was definitely not ordinary either. He had a dazzling diamond stud in his left ear, and he was also very good at making women happy. He was a well-known playboy in the southern part of the city.

Lan Xiao, true to his name, is basically just a spoiled brat. Compared to Senior Lu Ye, he is far inferior, let alone comparable to Crown Prince Xie Yu'an.

She didn't take this person seriously at all; her eyes concealed all her contempt for Lan Xiao.

She didn't know what agreement Anping and Lan Mingqing had reached in private that led to Anping agreeing to their marriage, after all, she was well aware of the Lan family's social standing.

When she walked up to Anping, Anping took her hand and made her stand between herself and Lan Xiao. She then excitedly announced her marriage to Lan Xiao to Lan Mingqing.

Lan Mingqing's serious expression softened into a kind one at this moment, and he gestured to his assistant below the stage to bring the ring up.

Although it's just an engagement, all the necessary steps will be taken.

Lan Xiao stared at the ring handed to him, feeling unwilling. He had previously questioned his grandfather about why he had to marry a woman he didn't love.

Besides, he's much freer on his own. There are so many beautiful women in the bar for him to choose from, and he can live a life of debauchery.

Thinking of this, he turned around and looked An Wenxin up and down. This woman was indeed good-looking, but he was not the kind of man who would give up the whole forest for one tree.

But if he doesn't agree, his grandfather will cut off all his financial support. How could a young master who has been pampered since childhood accept a financial break?

So he and An Wenxin finally have something in common: they both come from wealthy families and have to bear the pressure from their families, with no control over their own lives.

Face to face, Lan Xiao personally put the engagement ring on her finger, and the two of them held hands in a perfunctory manner, smiling at the crowd below the stage.

Looking at the ring on her right middle finger, any other woman would be happy, marrying into a wealthy family and never having to worry about food or clothing for the rest of her life. But so what if the diamond is big? She doesn't care!

The people below the stage applauded and cheered, offering their blessings. The An family's power was just around the corner, and they would no longer be the small, insignificant family they used to look down on.

"You two should step down and have a good talk, and build some rapport."

Anping happily told the younger generation to leave first, as he and Lan Mingqing still had many things to discuss.

However, just as An Wenxin and the others were about to leave the stage...

"Are you done talking? Isn't it my turn now?"
