That's... Chu Linchen.

He was wearing an elegant dark suit, with an inherent dignity and arrogance on his cold and deep face.

Unlike the guests present who were chatting and laughing in groups of three or four, he stood alone in the corner with a glass of red wine.

On the wall behind him hangs a Western master painting. In the picture, the ancient castle stands in the depths of the dense forest. The dappled sunlight shines on the steeple of the castle, but you can't feel the slightest warmth.

The whole painting reveals a strong sense of loneliness.

And he seems to come from the castle in the painting, isolated from the lively banquet hall.

You must know that when he was in Haicheng before, no matter what the occasion was, Chu Linchen was always the one who attracted the attention and was complimented by others.

At first sight of him standing there coldly, Qin Shu was not used to it.

She also didn't understand that today's event was hosted by the Yan family, and Chu Linchen logically shouldn't be here, how could he come?

Looking at Chu Linchen's eyes, the tens of thousands of thoughts in his mind were immediately thrown aside, leaving only a blank.

His eyes were still so deep and sharp, there seemed to be black whirlpools in his eyes, which could suck people in.

Qin Shu was stunned for a moment.

Chu Linchen also frowned without a trace, those clear eyes evoked a sense of familiarity engraved in his bone marrow.

The two of them just looked at each other through the crowd of suits and dresses. At this moment, time seemed to stand still.

In fact, it was just a short look at the other party.

Qin Shu's gaze was immediately pulled back by an old and enthusiastic voice——

"Prince Hongxu, it's great to have you here."

Yan Changming came to the two of them with a dragon head and a cane.

"Well, I'm here to join in the fun." Gong Hongxu said casually, and glanced happily at Qin Shu beside him.

He has no interest in the Yan family's activities, he came here purely for the beauty.

Behind Yan Changming, Yan Jing was wearing a silver-gray suit, and his thin figure was wrapped under the crisp suit, making him look a bit empty.

His dark eyes turned between Qin Shu and Gong Hongxu, and finally stopped on Qin Shu's face, and said playfully: "I heard that Miss Yuan said that she would bring a powerful male companion to attend, but I didn't expect it to be Hongxu prince."

Qin Shu secretly slandered in her heart: Obviously you asked me to be Gong Hongxu's girlfriend, wouldn't you know?

Really good at acting!

Before she could say anything, Gong Hongxu listened to Yan Jing's words, and asked curiously first: "Why, do you two have a good relationship?"

"Miss Yuan is very skilled in medicine. When she first came back to China, I offered an olive branch on purpose, but Miss Yuan declined. The two of us couldn't make a deal, so we just became friends in the end."

Yan Jing's nonsense made up sounds like an excuse to coax a three-year-old child to Qin Shu.

A quick sarcasm flashed in her eyes.

However, Gong Hongxu really believed Yan Jing's words, thinking that the two of them were friends within the safe range.

In addition, he felt that he was able to get in close contact with "Yuan Luoli" today because of the banquet held by the Yan family.

Thinking of this, Gong Hongxu put his hand on Yan Jing's shoulder in satisfaction, patted him as if he was a good buddy, and said, "Very good, we are all friends, we will play together often in the future!"

"Okay." Yan Jing smiled, picked up the wine in his hand and clinked a glass with Gong Hongxu.

This scene fell in the eyes of others, and it further confirmed the close relationship between the Yan family and the Lord's Mansion.

Qin Shu remained calm on the face, but he had a guess in his heart——

It seems that Yan Jing asked herself to be Gong Hongxu's female companion, mostly to curry favor with Gong Hongxu.

This instead made her come to a different conclusion from the others present: the Yan family has nothing to do with the Lord's Mansion.

At this time, the waiter came to her with a tray.

There are several kinds of drinks in cups on the tray for guests to choose.

Qin Shu subconsciously picked up a glass of orange juice.
