The canary of the reborn paranoid boss is so delicate
Chapter 9 Banquet
While Xu Yan was spinning her chair boredly, Lin Xiao opened the door and came in, followed by several people.
Xu Yan paused for a moment and felt embarrassed when she reacted. Just as she was about to stand up, she saw that Lin Xiao had turned around and said to the person behind her: "There are other questions that need to be sorted out and sent to Qin Song."
"Ok."
A group of people left and the office door closed. Lin Xiao came over. Xu Yan stood up from her chair and looked at him: "Did I delay your work?"
There was a little guilt in his eyes when he said this.
Lin Xiao looked at her for a while and said, "No, it's time to get off work."
Xu Yan looked at the time again: "So early?"
Lin Xiao responded, walked to the clothes rack, picked up his coat and put it on.
Xu Yan walked up to him and asked him, "Are you just going back?"
Lin Xiao said: "I'll ask the driver to take you back."
"Send me back, what about you?" Xu Yan grasped the key point of her words.
"There will be a dinner party tonight," Lin Xiao didn't hide it.
Xu Yan rolled her eyes: "Can I go?"
"Are you going?" Lin Xiao asked back.
"No?" Xu Yan asked cautiously.
It's not impossible, but Lin Xiao didn't expect Xu Yan to go to the dinner party with him.
In the past, Xu Yan was not even willing to be in the same space as him.
"Okay." Lin Xiao said.
Xu Yan asked: "What kind of dinner is it? Do you need to change clothes?"
Although she is not from a wealthy family, she still knows the basics of what to wear for certain occasions.
Lin Xiao first took Xu Yan to do some styling, and both of them changed clothes. A man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle. With his good appearance and the high-end dress as a foil, he does nothing but just stand there and it is a beautiful scenery.
The dinner party Lin Xiao was going to was not a particularly important occasion. It was just a way for people in the circle to use their reputation to expand their connections.
And Lin Xiao was the connection that everyone wanted to talk to.
However, not everyone can have that qualification. Even if they attend the same banquet, there are different circles.
Xu Yan came from an ordinary family. If it weren't for Lin Xiao, she might never have been able to see so many rich and famous people on the same occasion.
However, fortunately, she has a good mentality, and what others are eager to pursue is not a lifelong pursuit for her.
She wouldn't force her way into a circle that she couldn't squeeze into. She didn't have much ambition to begin with. Without Lin Xiao, she wouldn't have been able to see a more prosperous world, but she would also have her own world.
The entrance of the two men was undoubtedly a much-anticipated one.
"Young Master Lin, you are here too slowly." A man in a floral suit walked towards him, with a seductive smile on his face and a pair of peach blossom eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
"Stop your dissolute look." Lin Xiao's unceremonious words made Xu Yan look sideways.
The man who was insulted was not angry at all. He raised his hand and put it on Lin Xiao's shoulder. He was holding a glass of champagne in his left hand. His tone and attitude were casual.
"It's really boring. You have a coffin-like face all day long, as if you don't want to approach strangers. Do you really think you are an independent god?"
Lin Xiao glanced at him and spoke softly: "I think you haven't spent enough time studying abroad."
Upon hearing this, the peach-eyed man looked stunned, and then looked deflated: "You deserve to have no friends."
After saying that, before Lin Xiao could speak again, his eyes moved to Xu Yan beside him: "I've never seen this beauty before. Beauty, what do you call her?"
Xu Yan had just been observing the interactions between this man and Lin Xiao. Although Lin Xiao had a look of disgust on his face, if you look closely, you would find that the relationship between the two should actually be good.
Otherwise, this man would not talk to Lin Xiao with such an attitude. Just looking at the people around him, one could tell that they had an attitude towards Lin Xiao who wanted to talk but did not dare to come over casually.
"My name is Xu Yan." Xu Yan said. She knew this man before her rebirth. She doesn't know him now. One of Lin Xiao's few friends who can be called a brother is Su Rui, from the Su family. Young Master.
"Good name, I'm Su Rui." Su Rui said while searching in his mind when such a beautiful woman came out of the family named Xu in Haicheng.
Information among wealthy families is very important. You don’t have to be friends with everyone, but you have to know who are the members of each major family.
After thinking for a long time, Su Rui didn't remember at all that there was such a person in the Xu family. He never thought that Xu Yan was just an ordinary person.
Because the conflict between Xu Yan and Lin Xiao is not that big now, and Lin Xiao's pursuit of people is not that big either. Before the rebirth, when Lin Xiao fell and Xu Yan jumped off the building, everyone in Haicheng knew about it.
Lin Xiao had a person who was close to his heart, and that person betrayed Lin Xiao, causing him to fall from the clouds into the mire.
But now, Xu Yan's name has not spread in the circle.
This is also the first time that Lin Xiao takes Xu Yan with him in public.
Xu Yan didn't miss the confusion in Su Rui's eyes, neither humble nor arrogant, letting him look at her.
However, Lin Xiao was not satisfied and said, "Have you seen enough?"
Su Rui was originally just curious about Xu Yan's identity, but Lin Xiao's opening made Su Rui immediately interested.
In all these years, I have never seen Lin Xiao be so interested in any woman.
"Hey, are you protected now?" Su Rui raised an eyebrow: "I can't eat people, do I need to be so defensive?"
"What do you like about this guy?" Su Rui asked Xu Yan.
Xu Yan looked at Lin Xiao and said, "Isn't it obvious? He is handsome and rich."
Su Rui was stunned by Xu Yan's answer, and it took him a while to react: "Is it that simple?"
"Simple and unpretentious." Xu Yan said.
Su Rui gave her a thumbs up.
"You can leave if you're fine." Lin Xiao couldn't get used to the fact that Xu Yan and Su Rui were happily meeting each other, so he interrupted again.
Su Rui complained: "A guy who forgets his friends when he sees sex." After muttering, he added: "The old man is waiting for you, why don't you go over?"
Lin Xiao said: "Go." Then he took Xu Yan away.
Xu Yan pulled him and knew that Lin Xiao was going to socialize.
Xu Yan said: "You go ahead, I'll hang around here and wait for you."
"Xu Yan." Lin Xiao's face turned cold.
Seeing that he had misunderstood, Xu Yan quickly approached him and whispered: "Don't worry, I won't run away. Just trust me this time, okay? I just haven't been here before and want to look around."
"I'll take you to see it." Lin Xiao said.
Xu Yan stopped her: "No, don't you still have something to do? Just trust me this time, okay? You see, I've been very obedient by your side today."
As he spoke, his tone had a hint of coquettishness.
Su Rui watched from the side. Although he couldn't hear Xu Yan's words clearly, he could tell from the changes in Lin Xiao's expression that this girl's words and deeds could touch Lin Xiao's heart.
Lin Xiao hesitated for a moment, his eyes darkened slightly, as if he had made up his mind: "Okay, wait for me."
Xu Yan nodded: "Okay, feel free to go."
Lin Xiao followed Su Rui away. He did not look back. Instead, Su Rui looked back three times every step.
"I said, Master Lin, who is this beauty? Is she worthy of your attention?" Su Rui asked as he walked.
After Xu Yan could no longer see Lin Xiao, she breathed a sigh of relief and looked around the banquet hall.
It is magnificent and beautifully decorated, and waiters in work clothes walk among the guests.
And those guests, all wearing suits and luxurious dresses, are worth a lot of money at a glance.
Xu Yan retracted her gaze, held up her skirt and walked to the sofa in the corner to sit down.
Her purpose of following Lin Xiao was not to see wealthy families gathering, nor to make connections.
She just didn't want to go back to the villa alone. If she wanted to really get out of the villa, she had to stay in the villa as much as possible.
Even if he was with Lin Xiao, there would still be no freedom at all.
But success doesn't come overnight. Xu Yan just sat down and was about to take the pastries on the table. She hadn't eaten dinner yet. Although she wasn't hungry, she just wanted to eat something. It was just right.
Just as her hand touched the pastry, a shadow was cast in front of her. Xu Yan looked up and saw a little girl wearing a princess dress with an exquisite face standing in front of her, blocking the light.
Behind him were two little girls about the same age.
Xu Yan was just stunned for a moment, but still picked up the pastry, then stepped back, leaned on the sofa and started eating leisurely.
"What's your relationship with Lin Xiao?" the girl in front of him suddenly said.
Xu Yan ignored her, and the girl asked again: "I have a question for you."
Xu Yan then raised her head and looked at her: "Ask me?"
The girl raised her chin, her eyes haughty.
"Why should I tell you? I don't know you." Xu Yan said slowly.
"You..." the girl pointed at Xu Yan angrily, and then said: "I tell you, Lin Xiao is my fiancé. If you are sensible, stay away from him, otherwise you will bear the consequences."
"Fiancé? Lin Xiao is engaged?" Xu Yan showed a little surprise on her face.
The girl was very proud to see Xu Yan's expression change.
"Why didn't I know he was engaged?" Xu Yan asked. She really didn't know. She had been with Lin Xiao for so long and had never heard of it.
"Where did the pheasant come from? No matter what your identity is, do you think that if you climb up to Lin Xiao, the pheasant will turn into a phoenix? I tell you, people like you will never reach the threshold of the Lin family in your lifetime." A man behind the little girl said The girl suddenly spoke.
Being belittled inexplicably one after another, Xu Yan also felt impatient in her heart.
Xu Yan stood up. She was 1.68 meters tall and wearing high heels. She was taller than the three people in front of her.
This time it was her turn to look at them condescendingly.
"If Lin Xiao is really your fiancé, you should warn him not to flirt with others. If he is not, why are you here using his fiancée's name to boss me around?" Xu Yan said in a cold voice.
"Just because I am the eldest lady of the He family." The girl ordered her, looking at Xu Yan with contempt in her eyes.
"It's none of my business." Xu Yan said directly.
"Wow!" A glass of champagne was accurately sprinkled on Xu Yan's face.
Along the cheeks, Xu Yan's luxurious dress was wet.
Xu Yan wiped her face, but she was thinking in her heart that high-end battles often take the most practical actions.
Then when He Mian was proud, he grabbed her hair with one hand and slapped her face twice with the other hand.
