The moment the calm and powerful male voice faded, the expressions of everyone present changed once again. They all looked behind Wen Yin.
This time, their gazes were evidently more subdued. Wen Yin also followed their line of sight and met a pair of pitch - black eyes.
The man was dressed in a well - tailored black suit. From this angle, one could faintly see his taut jawline. There was a hint of sharpness between his eyebrows and eyes. He stared straight at Shen Ziying, exuding an aura that warned strangers to keep their distance.
Just one look made Shen Ziying deflate like a punctured balloon.
Wen Zhi behind Shen Ziying also stiffened. She gave the man a sweet smile.
"Brother, you're here."
However, there was a hint of stiffness in Wen Zhi's smile, perhaps because the man's face was always cold and hard.
Wen Zheru gave her a casual glance, showing no emotion on his face.
Shen Ziying naturally knew what his words meant. If she couldn't make things difficult for others, she had to target him.
"And you? Where's your invitation letter?"
"A banquet like this of the Wen family is not like those in the entertainment circle where just anyone can get in."
Shao Yinan slowly raised his eyes. His dark peach - blossom eyes swept straight at Shen Ziying.
They were like a deep, still pond, sending shivers down one's spine.
The people behind them had different expressions. Some were eager to watch the show, while others looked solemn.
Shen Ziying raised her head haughtily, seemingly certain that Shao Yinan had accompanied Wen Yin and had no invitation letter for the banquet.
Wen Zhi stood behind Shen Ziying, looking at Shao Yinan with great interest.
This man always liked to stand up for Wen Yin. Today, she would let him take a big fall!
Anyway, it wasn't her face that would be lost, but Wen Yin's!
There was a hint of glee in Wen Zhi's heart. She seemed eager to see them make a fool of themselves.
Shao Yinan's gaze made Shen Ziying's face stiffen, but then she exchanged a look with Wen Zhi and regained her courage.
Unfortunately, she had already been outmatched by Shao Yinan in terms of momentum.
Shao Yinan was seen gently pinching a pure - black invitation letter between his long, well - defined fingers. It was gilded around the edges, looking low - key yet luxurious.
Seeing this, Shen Ziying scoffed even more. "Mr. Shao, you should make it clear that the invitation letters for this event are white. Do you think we're fools or color - blind?"
Contrary to Shen Ziying's disdain and mockery, the others on the scene looked at Shao Yinan with a hint of surprise.
This was an invitation letter prepared by the Wen family for the most distinguished families!
Apart from the one in Qi Siqing's hand, the other one was in Shao Yinan's!
Shen Ziying was still unaware of the gravity of the situation and was even about to open her mouth to mock Shao Yinan again.
Wen Zheru behind them subtly stepped between Shao Yinan and Wen Yin. The moment his gaze met Wen Yin's, it softened.
It seemed to contain gentle water.
Shao Yinan let out a soft laugh. He had seen so many snobbish women like this. "So, why don't we let Young Master Wen answer whether I'm qualified to enter this banquet?"
Shao Yinan had naturally noticed Wen Zheru's little moves. He slanted his gaze at him and threw the question to the protagonist of the banquet - Wen Zheru.
Shao Yinan had long noticed Wen Zheru's intention of watching the show.
Wen Zheru originally didn't plan to speak up so soon. He wanted to see how capable this man who had an ambiguous relationship with A Yin on the show was.
Before seeing Shao Yinan, Wen Zheru thought he was just a playboy from a wealthy family. But now...
Wen Zheru pondered silently in his heart and then spoke.
"This is indeed the invitation letter we issued today. It's prepared for special, high - class guests."
"Naturally, it's different from Miss Shen's."
Wen Zheru's heavy gaze swept over Shen Ziying. His dark pupils were cold, as if he was dissatisfied with Shen Ziying's mockery of Wen Yin just now.
Shen Ziying stammered.
She never expected that this actor from the entertainment circle, Shao Yinan, would have another identity!
There was also a hint of disbelief in Wen Zhi's eyes as she looked at Shao Yinan.
Was Shao Yinan actually the young master of a noble family in the upper - class circle?!
Wen Yin not only seduced Jiang Shihuai and Lu Ziqiu but also got entangled with Shao Yinan!
Wen Yin really had some good tricks!
Just thinking about Shao Yinan's identity, Wen Zhi felt dizzy. She felt extremely stuffy in her heart.
Why did Wen Yin get all the good things? She was like the green leaf beside Wen Yin, always playing a supporting role!
She not only lost Jiang Shihuai and Lu Ziqiu but also didn't notice when Wen Yin had hooked up with Shao Yinan, this big fish!
Wen Zhi's resentful gaze landed on Shao Yinan's black and gilded invitation letter again. It seemed to be full of dissatisfaction and also as if she was thinking about something.
In the distance, Jiang Shihuai and Lu Ziqiu were both shocked.
The moment they saw Shao Yinan at the door, they thought he was going to make a fool of himself today. They even stood behind with the intention of watching the show.
They never expected that Shao Yinan would have such an identity!
Jiang Shihuai tried to recall which noble family in the upper - class circle had the surname Shao.
The result really surprised him. His gaze towards Shao Yinan became even more unnatural.
The Shao family was a family that could shake the whole circle with a single stomp of their feet. They were on par with the Qi family as the two most prominent families.
The Shao family was involved in various industries such as business, entertainment, and real estate. They could be said to control half of the city's economic lifeline.
Just thinking that Shao Yinan was the young master of the Shao family, Jiang Shihuai felt a wave of uneasiness well up in his heart.
He was well aware that the Jiang family was no match for the Shao family.
"So, can we go in now?"
Wen Yin, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke. Her cold gaze swept over Shen Ziying, as if she didn't intend to talk to this clown anymore.
Wen Zheru stepped aside, making way for Wen Yin. He made a gentlemanly gesture of invitation.
"Of course you can, my little princess."
Shao Yinan couldn't help but roll his eyes at Wen Zheru.
Even though he knew that the man in front of him was A Yin's brother, he still couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy.
Wen Yin took two steps forward. Shao Yinan saw her beautiful butterfly bones, and for a moment, he couldn't take his eyes off her.
Suddenly, Wen Yin turned around and reached out her hand towards Shao Yinan. Her fingertips were as white as jade, just there, as if wordlessly inviting him. "Aren't you coming?"
Shao Yinan's originally cold expression softened slightly. His cold peach - blossom eyes were instantly filled with tenderness and unconscious indulgence.
Shao Yinan's large, well - defined hand was warm and strong. He gently took the boneless little hand in front of him.
"Let's go."
