With things having developed to this point, Shen Nanyi suddenly didn't want this farce to end so soon. The best way to deal with someone like Tang Lin was to let her feel a glimmer of hope and then shatter it.
"Miss Tang, what do you think I should explain? Isn't this just normal communication?" Shen Nanyi replied vaguely, deliberately blurring her words. To those who didn't know the situation, it seemed as if she was a bit flustered.
Hearing this, Ji Beichuan knew that Shen Nanyi was in the mood to play. He stood aside silently, believing that she could handle the situation well.
Sure enough, as soon as Shen Nanyi said those ambiguous words, the looks from the people on the scene towards her became even more subtle.
"Miss Shen, your words are really interesting. Do normal friends feed each other ice cream? Am I out of touch with the times? Why have I never seen such ordinary friends?" Among those who heard Shen Nanyi's words, Tang Lin was the most excited. She almost burst out laughing when she heard Shen Nanyi's words.
"You're right, miss. Where do ordinary friends act like this? Don't you want to be responsible for me?" Just when the situation on the scene was hard to figure out, another person entered the banquet hall. It was Shen Ye, the protagonist in the photo.
It could be said that Shen Ye's appearance made some of his fans in the hall couldn't help screaming. After all, Shen Ye was a top - tier star in the circle and had some die - hard fans.
Most people looked at Shen Ye with a gossiping look in their eyes. Could it be that what Tang Lin said was true?
Shen Ye's words just now sounded full of resentment, as if he was quite dissatisfied with Shen Nanyi. Was there really some dirty secret between them?
Shen Nanyi didn't expect Shen Ye to show up at this time, and she didn't expect his acting to be so exaggerated. It was almost unbearable to watch. But surprisingly, the people on the scene didn't seem to find anything wrong. Especially Tang Lin, who was as excited as if she had taken a stimulant when she saw Shen Ye.
"Shen Ye, do you have anything to explain about the photo just now? Miss Shen just said that you are just ordinary friends." When speaking, Tang Lin deliberately emphasized the words "ordinary friends", with a smug smile in her eyes.
Before, she had planned to invite Shen Ye to the banquet, but Shen Ye's team always said that his schedule was not suitable. She didn't expect that Shen Ye would appear here on his own initiative. With Shen Nanyi and Shen Ye both present, there couldn't be a better opportunity.
"There's nothing to explain. It's just as you can see. Do you have any other questions?" Shen Ye admitted quite quickly, so quickly that it even surprised Tang Lin.
The on - lookers who didn't know the truth were once again stunned. What was going on in this world? Why did they feel that Shen Ye was quite self - confident?
Ji Beichuan didn't want to watch any more. He turned his head to look elsewhere. He was afraid that if he watched any longer, he would not be able to resist punching Shen Ye. This guy really deserved a beating.
Seeming to think that just talking wasn't exciting enough, Shen Ye took a step forward and directly held Shen Nanyi's hand. "Is this the explanation you want?"
Holding Shen Nanyi's hand, Shen Ye spoke and smiled at the people present.
If it weren't for the fact that he knew the person on the scene was his son, Shen Qingshan might have been quite frustrated.
But in the past few years, Shen Ye had always made all kinds of excuses to avoid his birthday banquets and never appeared in public. This time, Shen Ye actually took the initiative to attend. Shen Qingshan was still a bit happy, so he just let Shen Ye do as he pleased.
"Ji Beichuan, you've seen this. Aren't you angry?" Things were going too smoothly. Tang Lin didn't even feel that there was anything wrong. She turned to look at Ji Beichuan.
The expected angry scene didn't happen. Ji Beichuan still looked at Shen Nanyi lovingly and even smiled at Shen Ye beside them.
"Why should I be angry?" In front of everyone, Ji Beichuan's words made people feel that their worldview had collapsed again.
If they remembered correctly, Ji Beichuan should be a very proud person. Why did he seem to be nothing in front of Shen Nanyi? He didn't even react when he saw Shen Nanyi showing affection with another man. Was this still the Ji Beichuan they knew? Had he been cursed?
"You..." The situation was completely different from what she had expected. Tang Lin searched for a long time but couldn't find the right words. She could only stamp her feet anxiously there.
Why had things developed like this? Logically speaking, shouldn't Ji Beichuan have flown into a rage at Shen Nanyi after he found out about this, and the two of them would never make up?
"Miss Tang, why don't you check the background carefully before you investigate someone? Haven't you noticed that he has the same surname as me?" Seeing that the show was almost over, Shen Nanyi kindly reminded Tang Lin.
"So what if we have the same surname?" Shen Nanyi had reminded her clearly enough, but unfortunately, Tang Lin didn't understand the point.
Some smart people on the scene looked at Shen Ye and then at Shen Qingshan. They always felt that they were missing something.
"I said you're not very smart, and you really aren't. Having the same surname means that we might be family." Hearing Tang Lin's words, Shen Nanyi pouted, feeling that she had really overestimated Tang Lin.
This trick was even more low - level than Wu Fang's. Was this the idea that Tang Lin had racked her brains for so long? It was really disappointing.
"It's impossible!" Tang Lin simply didn't believe Shen Nanyi's words. She firmly believed that Shen Nanyi was just making excuses for herself.
"Don't you know that Mr. Shen has three sons, and the third son is named Shen Ye?" Seeing that the euphemistic reminder didn't work on Tang Lin, Shen Nanyi simply made it more straightforward. After that, she looked up at Shen Ye and sweetly called out "Uncle".
What was even more jaw - dropping was that Shen Ye actually nodded and answered without any hesitation.
"It seems that I'm still quite young. Otherwise, why would people think there's some dirty secret between us? It must be because I'm too handsome." Shen Ye said narcissistically. He felt that this banquet was really worth coming to.
The uncle and niece echoed each other on the stage. Tang Lin finally understood their relationship. She stood there with a livid face.
Why hadn't she thought of this? Shen Ye had never mentioned Shen Qingshan in public. If she had such a rich father, why would she want to hide it?
Not only Tang Lin, but most people on the scene didn't know that there was such a relationship between Shen Ye and Shen Qingshan. They felt as if they had discovered some amazing gossip.
Tang Zhongshan was now full of regret, extremely regretful. He regretted why he had brought Tang Lin here. He was wondering if it was still too late to draw a clear line from Tang Lin.
After much thought, Tang Zhongshan gritted his teeth and finally made a decision.
