The commotion at the banquet quickly came to an end.
The hotel staff hurriedly cleaned up the scene.
Xie Zhilan was also urgently sent to the hospital.
As for calling the police?
Oh, no one had the face to do that. It was like an subconscious thought in every big family - all matters would be settled privately.
Everyone acted as if nothing had just happened, and the guests started chatting with each other again.
However, the atmosphere was much more subdued than at the beginning, after all, many of those who had been humiliated sat quietly covering their faces, questioning their life choices.
Some still hadn't come to their senses.
People consciously avoided them and gathered on the other side, talking in low voices.
But the topics of conversation changed from corporate performance and cooperation to the Gu family and the Leng family, as well as...
"President Shen, why isn't Young Master Gu coming to find you?"
"Yes, President Shen, why is Young Master Gu staying by Leng Ling'er's side? Did something happen between you two?"
"Oh, come on, Old Li! What are you saying? Even if young people have issues, it's just a small conflict. Can't it be resolved with a meal and a gift?!"
The several group CEOs who originally intended to discuss cooperation with Shen Wan'er had now lost interest.
Business talks could happen anytime, but gossip was only available now!
After all, what do people like most after becoming bosses and having everything? Isn't it hearing rumors about these top-tier families?
After all, some moves by these top families could affect their own family's future allegiances.
Shen Wan'er's face darkened, not wanting to discuss Gu Yan and the Leng family at all.
After all...
She and Gu Yan had just completely broken up not long ago, even wishing each other happiness.
But clearly, because of the scene Gu Yan had just caused, people's attention was now on the Leng family.
"Hehe, Gu Yan did mention recently that he wanted to cooperate with the Leng family."
Shen Wan'er laughed dryly, glancing at Gu Yan in the distance, who had no one daring to approach him except Leng Ling'er and Leng Xing'an.
She pursed her lips and smiled lightly: "How about this, I'll go say hello. Do you want to come along?"
At these words,
The several bosses shook their heads repeatedly: "No, no, no, President Shen, you're more familiar with Young Master Gu, you should go alone."
What a joke, who knows if Gu Yan is still angry? If he beats them up too, that would be terrible.
Seeing this, Shen Wan'er let out a sigh of relief. She nodded slightly and then walked towards Gu Yan's direction.
She was also extremely nervous, not knowing how Gu Yan would treat her when they met again.
"Wan'er?"
Xiao Lin had grabbed some food because he was hungry. When he saw Shen Wan'er leave and walk in a certain direction,
He suddenly felt strange.
Why didn't Wan'er call him? Wasn't he supposed to be her bodyguard?
Thinking this, Xiao Lin followed her.
On another side,
Bai Jun looked towards Gu Yan's direction and asked casually: "By the way, Qionglan, I remember you and Leng Ling'er from the Leng family are good friends, right?"
Bai Qionglan, who was recalling the previous scene, immediately emphasized with dissatisfaction: "Best friends! Why are you asking this, brother?"
"Oh, didn't brother-in-law save you guys last time? I was thinking of going over to say hello."
Bai Jun said with a smile.
Say hello, huh...
Bai Qionglan thought for a moment. She didn't have to meet that man called Xiao Lin because of her brother's guarantee.
So she was in a great mood.
She nodded: "Okay!"
On another side,
"Hey, Murong Ci, where are you going?"
Bai Lian used her ability to drive away the flies buzzing around them, then saw Murong Ci walking silently in one direction.
Murong Ci paused for a moment and replied: "Looking for true love..."
??! Are you serious?
Bai Lian was instantly speechless and shocked.
She looked left and right, fearing he would disrupt the plan.
Helplessly stomping her foot, she followed: "What kind of teammates are these?!"
On yet another side,
Leng Qingqiu, who had an overview of the situation, noticed several familiar life essences moving towards Gu Yan's direction.
She frowned.
What were Bai Lian and Murong Ci doing going to Gu Yan?
She seemed to think of something, and her heart sank.
Oh no, Bai Lian doesn't know about my relationship with Gu Yan.
Could it be that she's interested in Gu Yan and wants to turn him into her male servant?
This is bad, if Gu Yan is successfully charmed by Bai Lian, all will be lost!
She had specifically reminded Gu Yan before not to be easily seduced by beautiful women.
In fact, she was referring to Bai Lian, after all, Bai Lian was born with a naturally seductive body, and very few men could resist her charm.
She immediately said calmly: "Mei Xue, tell Bai Lian to come back."
Mei Xue was stunned, then sent the master's order to Bai Lian mentally.
But after waiting for a while, the message that came back made Mei Xue freeze.
She hesitated for a moment, then reported to Leng Qingqiu somewhat awkwardly: "Um... Master."
"It's Murong Ci who wants to go, Bai Lian is going to stop him to prevent any accidents."
"Murong Ci? He wants to find Gu Yan?"
Leng Qingqiu was confused. She knew about Murong Ci, he was a man currently known to be able to resist Bai Lian's charm, but he and Gu Yan had no connection.
While pondering, she heard Mei Xue continue, her tone also a bit odd: "Yes, it seems Murong Ci said he's fallen for Gu Yan..."
Leng Qingqiu: "........"
What??
........
.......
Leng Ling'er sat silently in her chair, not saying a word even though her favorite foods were placed on the table in front of her.
Gu Yan walked over with a plate of spicy rabbit heads, seeing the silent Leng Ling'er, he was a bit puzzled.
He immediately went over and patted her head: "Hey, why are you acting so deep?"
Acting! Acting deep?!
Leng Ling'er suddenly raised her head at these words, but seeing Gu Yan's face, her little face turned red, and she quickly lowered her head again.
??
Gu Yan slowly made two question marks, he looked at Leng Xing'an beside him: "Uncle Leng, what's wrong with this kid?"
"Didn't I already teach that Xie Zhilan a lesson?"
He actually called me Uncle Leng, what have I done to deserve this!
Leng Xing'an felt a warmth in his heart, he coughed lightly: "Maybe she's still in shock."
"I am not!"
"Leng Xing'an, you old trash fish, shut up!"
Leng Ling'er finally spoke, glaring fiercely at Leng Xing'an.
What a joke, just casually spreading rumors about me!
Whoosh!
An arrow pierced Leng Xing'an's chest, his whole body turned black and white as he lowered his head.
Ah... wife... I told you I don't like these gatherings...
Gu Yan chuckled, reaching out to vigorously rub Leng Ling'er's head: "What trash fish are you talking about? Is that how you speak to your elders?"
"You little brat need to be taught a lesson."
The latter couldn't stand the rubbing anymore, she grabbed Gu Yan's wrists that were on her head with both hands, then looked up, staring straight at Gu Yan.
But seeing his confused expression, she blushed again uncontrollably. She took a deep breath, let go of Gu Yan's hands.
Then covering her face, she shouted: "Ahhh! So annoying! Why did you trash fish Gu have to come over?!"
??
I came to save you and this is what I get?
Gu Yan was a bit speechless, this female brat was indeed hard to please.
And just as he was feeling exasperated,
The next second,
"Good evening, Gu Yan."
A familiar voice came.
