After the divorce, the CEO's ex-wife deeply regretted her actions.

Meanwhile, the other guests in the room also started discussing the matter:

"This person looks unfamiliar; I don't think I've ever seen them before."

"That's right, I really don't know this person!"

"Judging from his clothes and appearance, he doesn't seem like someone of great power. Young Master Nangong, have you mistaken me for someone else?"

"..."

Only Wang Hong and Cheng Junshan, who were sitting at the main table and had truly witnessed Chen Yun's strength, exchanged a glance and then revealed expressions of sudden realization.

No wonder they wondered who it could be if it wasn't that empty seat, because Chen Yun was usually extremely low-key.

If it weren't for their previous fortuitous encounter, they would never have known about Chen Yun's hidden power.

Moreover, even now, they still know very little about Chen Yun.

"It's truly unexpected that Doctor Chen has such a close connection with the Nangong family of Jinghai..."

Wang Hong thought to himself, "It seems I underestimated the true power of Doctor Chen."

"As expected, Doctor Chen is low-key, but he probably won't go on stage now... Since he chose to sit in the corner, he probably doesn't want to reveal his identity."

"It's highly likely that Young Master Nangong's invitation will be fruitless..."

Cheng Junshan had a keen eye and immediately had a guess about what was about to happen.

Facing the attention of everyone present, Chen Yun slightly raised his eyebrows.

He didn't like being watched like this. Ordinary people might feel a sense of superiority from being the center of attention, but to him, it felt more like being watched by a bunch of monkeys.

Nangong Qing bowed, waiting for Chen Yun's reply, his expression shifting from respect to even piety, and he dared not look Chen Yun in the eye.

Several years ago, it was Chen Yun who stepped in at a critical moment, turning the tide and saving the Nangong family from imminent destruction, allowing them to escape danger and elevate their status in Jinghai to a new level!

It is no exaggeration to say that without Chen Yun, there would be no Nangong family today, and certainly no Nangong Qing today.

Therefore, when Nangong Qing actually faced Chen Yun, he felt a mix of emotions, including relief, gratitude, and finally, respect and admiration.

This is a man who can turn the rotten into the miraculous!

"Sir, please move to the main seat."

"At tonight's banquet, only you are qualified to sit in the seat of honor!"

Nangong Qing extended the invitation once more, his body trembling slightly.

His humble demeanor made everyone present even more incredulous!

Then, everyone saw Chen Yun stand up expressionlessly, speaking calmly:

"Look up and look at me."

The master wants me to watch over him?!

Nangong Qing trembled uncontrollably, and finally raised his head for the first time, respectfully meeting Chen Yun's gaze.

He felt that those seemingly ordinary eyes were filled with the vicissitudes of life, as if they contained all things in the world!

"Did you see clearly? I think you've made a mistake."

A calm voice came through, becoming the only sound in the banquet hall at that moment.

Nangong Qing's pupils contracted, and he was completely taken aback by an expression of disbelief.

Mistaken identity? No, I couldn't possibly be mistaken! You are sir!

Wait... why does the gentleman insist that I look up at him? Does he really want me to see his face clearly?

No, I understand! The gentleman doesn't want to appear in this setting, and he doesn't want others to know his identity!

With his brain working at lightning speed and his mind racing, Nangong Qing quickly grasped Chen Yun's true meaning.

He immediately forced himself to calm down and slowly began to speak:

"Sorry. It seems I really did mistake you for someone else."

After saying that, Nangong Qing saw a hint of certainty in Chen Yun's eyes, and his heart was filled with excitement, but he did not show it on his face.

He turned around, pretending nothing had happened, and returned to the banquet stage, picking up the microphone and saying:

"I regret to inform you that the important figure did not come, and you may not have the chance to see him today... I mistook him for someone else just now; the gentleman in the audience does look very similar to that important figure."

As the explanation began, everyone in the room chuckled softly.

"Haha, I knew it! How could this person look like an important figure? I was wrong after all."

"So it was a misunderstanding... It's just a pity that we didn't get to see that important person. If we could have the chance to get to know someone like that in this lifetime, it would truly be our greatest fortune!"

"It was really like a roller coaster ride, with all the ups and downs! Even though it was a misunderstanding, it was still quite thrilling!"

The atmosphere at the dinner party softened again.

Wang Ziyue let out a heavy breath, and her extremely tense nerves gradually relaxed:

"As expected, Young Master Nangong has mistaken me for someone else. Chen Yun and I have been husband and wife for a long time. No one in this world knows him better than me. If he really is the important person Young Master Nangong is talking about, how could I not know? If that's the case, there's even less reason for me to go to the point of divorce with him."

Zhao Liping, Wang Zishan, and other members of the Wang family also calmed down:

"I knew it! This coward could never be anyone important! He's just a prisoner who just got out of jail!"

"That's right... This Young Master Nangong is really something, he made me worry for no reason."

Their voices trailed off completely—they were just saying it; they dared not let Nangong Qing hear it.

The guests around were also whispering among themselves.

It's really unacceptable that the young master of the Nangong family would make such a basic mistake as mistaking someone else!

"Ladies and gentlemen, the banquet is now officially beginning."

Upon seeing this, Murong Hai immediately stepped forward and spoke up to help Nangong Qing out of the predicament.

"I have something to take care of, can you cover for me for now?"

After stepping down from the stage, Nangong Qing did not go to sit at the main table, nor did he intend to talk to anyone else. Instead, he walked quickly out of the banquet hall.

Once the guests could no longer see him, they went from walking briskly to jogging, chasing after Chen Yun's departing figure!

Only when he finally caught up to him did he say, panting:

"Mr. Chen, please wait a moment."

Chen Yun turned his head and asked:

"I've already attended the dinner. Is there anything else you want to see me about?"

"Sir, I was impetuous today and didn't think things through. I apologize for affecting your mood!"

Nangong Qing bowed and sincerely apologized to Chen Yun.

Chen Yun simply waved his hand calmly:

"This isn't your fault; I just didn't want to get involved."

"By the way, it's been so many years. How is Grandpa Nangong's health these days?"

Upon hearing Chen Yun's greeting, Nangong Qing finally felt relieved, realizing that the master truly did not mean to blame him.

He replied respectfully, "Thanks to your help back then, sir, the old man is now in excellent health, eating and sleeping well, and all his bodily functions are in perfect order!"
