After all, Kyoto is Kyoto, and there are traces of history everywhere.There are no modern buildings, but square mansions. The tallest is the clock tower in the city center with a height of 40 meters. They are also heavy buildings left over from the old days.

As soon as you step into this hotel, you realize that there are two heavens inside and outside.Inside is a house-like building, although old-fashioned but full of heritage.The upturned eaves are still stained with moisture, and they are shining with gilt light in the spring sun, making them look extraordinarily graceful and dignified.Similar to traditional royal buildings, the eaves are covered with green glazed tiles, with gold and colored paintings inside, and painted pillars and carved beams.The lacquer is not old, so you can know that this place is deliberately built to imitate the ancient times, but it is not against harmony or rustic. It is more like a product that integrates the cultural heritage of this area but always exudes a fresh and gorgeous atmosphere.

A woman in a cheongsam stood outside and led them into the inner room.

Some people rushed up immediately, the inside was filled with mist, many people had pipes in their mouths, and it seemed that there were too many sandalwood burning beside them, lingering faintly.No one moved their chopsticks inside, but everyone was talking and laughing, beaming.

The black-haired young man in the distance put down his wine glass with a smile, saw Yun Fan and Jiang Nan in the distance, stood up and greeted his wife who was holding her son, and they walked towards him together.

"Brother Qiao, sister-in-law!"

Yun Fan went up to say hello with a smile, teased the cute baby, and then introduced, "This is Aaron, my fiancé."

"Mr. Joe."

Jiang Nan stretched out her hand and shook Qiao Yun's hand.

Qiao Yun looked Jiang Nan up and down, and said with a smile: "I know each other, I met at the banquet last time, and I didn't have time to say hello. Now I have a chance, let's talk about this future brother-in-law. Come, sit inside .”

"This is a little thought for the children."

Jiang Nan handed over the accompanying gift in his hand, it was a silver collar, although it was old-fashioned, it was unmistakable.This was originally prepared by Master Qiao. The inner ring is inlaid with jade, and the outer ring is carved with dragons and phoenixes. It is extremely exquisite. There is also a bell hanging from the bottom, which sounds crisp and pleasant.

Qiao Yun seemed to like it very much, so he immediately put it on for the child.

Jiang Nan walked into the lobby with the people, and came to a dining table, which was not full yet.As soon as Qiao Yun went, the three people who were originally sitting stood up, and he introduced them one by one, and Jiang Nan also nodded with a smile.After the arrangements were made, Qiao Yun and his wife were summoned by other people.

When the master left, Yun Fan tugged at Jiang Nan's sleeve and asked in his ear: "Why are you so absent-minded?"

Jiang Nan's eyes roughly scanned the surroundings. Although the lobby is large, there are only six tables, and everyone can be seen at a glance, and Shen Bei and Shen Che are not seen.

Yun Fan also took a look out of the corner of his eye and said, "It's still early, wait a little longer."

As soon as he finished speaking, Rui Nijin pushed Shen Che in from the door.They obviously didn't consider the problem of Shen Che's broken leg. For ordinary people, the threshold that can be easily crossed has become a difficult task for Shen Che.

The waiter lifted the entire wheelchair and got him in.

"Look at me, I forgot to ask them to open a side door to remove the sill. It's really inconvenient. I'm sorry, Shen Che!"

Qiao Yun hurried over to receive the two of them, apologizing over and over again, those who didn't know thought that some kind of uncle had come, even the people in charge of the Qiao family compound were so humble.

With a signature warm smile on Shen Che's face, he said kindly: "It's okay, it's okay. I just came back from abroad and I haven't had time to prepare any gifts for the baby. This is just a small thought. Rui Nijin?"

Rui Nijin handed over an exquisite gift box to Qiao Yun. Under the watchful eyes of the people, he opened the box and took it out to see that it was actually a collar.

Jiang Nan frowned in the distance and didn't speak.

This ring is not like Jiang Nan and the others who gave silver inlaid jade, but real platinum and garnet inlaid.Although it is not a very rare thing, it looks much more expensive than the silver inlaid jade.

"The baby's lucky stone is garnet, so the artisan specially asked the craftsman to inlay it. It's a pity that the time is too tight and there is no way to make it more delicate."

Even children seem to like it very much, their fat hands grabbed the collar and would not let go, chattering and smiling happily.

"Take it and have a look."

Shen Che smiled and tilted his head slightly, looking very cute.

Taking off the collar given by Jiang Nan is to offend the Sima family.If you don't bring it, you will offend the Shen family again.But Qiao Yun and Sima Yunfan are very close on weekdays. Both families are in the capital, they are family friends, and they often go out to play together, so he thought that Yunfan would not mind this kind of thing.He took off the collar that Jiang Nan gave, and put on the gift from Shen Che for the baby.

"Ha ha."

Jiang Nan heard Yun Fan sneer beside her, and looked at her in surprise.It's strange that a well-educated woman would show such a side.It seems that Sima Yunfan no longer regards Jiang Nan as an outsider.

Yun Fan sarcastically said: "Being a vice chairman is just being flattered."

Jiang Nan didn't speak, her eyes were indifferent, and she seemed to have fallen into a trance.

"boom!"

Suddenly there was a loud noise around him, and Jiang Nan's pupils trembled in shock.Looking up, it was Shen Bei.

The lights were yellow and yellow in the foggy room. Shen Bei stood condescendingly behind Jiang Nan. He was wearing a thin T-shirt and a black jacket. He looked at the people on the table angrily.

Yun Fan was so frightened that she subconsciously hid beside Jiang Nan.Jiang Nan blocked Yun Fan, her eyes flickered, she nodded and her throat moved.

Shen Bei threw the steel pipe to the ground, stepped over an empty chair, and sat opposite Jiang Nan.Putting his hands on the table, he took the last puff of the cigarette and just pressed it on the white tablecloth.His eyes swept around, and then landed on Jiang Nan.

Sima Yunfan took a deep breath and endured it.

She had never seen Shen Bei before, so naturally she did not recognize him as Shen Yaoguo's eldest son.It's just that the people who come here are all very well-dressed, and everyone is chatting softly. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a gangster looks like a man with yellow hair and several pierced ears. His domineering.I didn't hear him say hello. Although I don't know if Qiao Yun invited him here, I can tell at a glance that it is not a persimmon that is easy to pinch.

And Jiang Nan pursed her lips, her cold expression seemed to be in a bad mood, she didn't want to pay much attention to Sima Yunfan, but put his hands under the cover of the tablecloth, pivoting anxiously.This kind of feeling that the speed of the human heart soars, the hands and feet become numb, and the mind is uncontrollable and going crazy just by seeing it is really embarrassing, angry, and unable to stop.

At this moment, Qiao Yun led Shen Che and the others over.

"Let me introduce..." Qiao Yun saw Shen Bei at a glance, "Oh! Isn't this Mr. Shen? I didn't see where he came in from. Hey, those people didn't even tell me, really!" Qiao Yun Yun said, "Come, come, we have arranged seats. You can sit with the president of Kingkey Industrial, it's over there."

"There's no room left, so I'll just sit here."

There seemed to be a trace of impatience in the deep voice.

Qiao Yun was stunned for a moment, then quickly smiled and said, "Okay, okay."

"Let me introduce to you, this is the son of Mr. Shen Yaoguo, Shen Che. He was raised by his father at a young age, and he is also a very powerful figure in the business world! This is his fiancée Rui Nijin. You are at this table. It's all ready, the food will be served in a while, don't restrict everyone to eat whatever you want!"

When Qiao Yun mentioned that Shen Che was Shen Yaoguo's son, Jiang Nan saw the undisguised mockery in Shen Bei's eyes.

Everyone knows that Shen Che is Shen Yaoguo's son, but they don't know that Shen Bei is also Shen Che's brother.Shen Yaoguo has been able to hide things so well for 20 years, that's because he is amazing.

Shen Che sat beside Jiang Nan, smiled and said, "Sister-in-law is so beautiful."

Yun Fan's expression was startled, and he smiled shyly: "Where. Ms. Rui Nijin is a great beauty. Weren't you here at the feast, Mr. Shen, many boys are very fond of Rui Nijin."

"What sister-in-law?"

Shen Bei slowly lowered his hand holding the wine glass, and looked at Shen Che.

For some reason, Jiang Nan's heart swelled and ached.In a panic, he tore off more of the dead skin on his hands, and bloodshot eyes seeped out from the edges of his nails.

Shen Che was a little dazed, a little surprised: "Ah, brother, don't you know? Miss Yunfan is Jiang... oh Aaron's fiancée, it will be their engagement banquet in a few days."

As he said, his eyes shone brightly, "Didn't brother get the invitation?"

Shen Bei's eyelashes trembled twice, his eyelids drooped, and he poured another glass of wine.

"Oh, I forgot." Shen Che smiled, blinking his eyes slyly, "Brother is busy sleeping with women."

Jiang Nan suddenly raised her head and looked at Shen Che coldly.

Sitting at this table were not only Jiang Nan, Shen Che, and Shen Bei, but also those outsiders who didn't know each other at all.Shen Che actually dared to say it so loudly, with a strong meaning of provocation.

Shen Bei almost drank half of the bottle of wine by himself before the dishes came up one after another.A table was filled in no time.

The people at other tables were talking and laughing, but the people at this table were covered by two cold-faced gods the whole time, and they were lifeless.Everyone is holding the dishes in front of them, and no one is chatting.Only Shen Che occasionally talked to Sima Yunfan, and seemed to inquire about Sima Yunfan's attitude towards Shen Yaoguo.

Judging from Shen Che's recent developments, he has already begun to open up the relationship with his father in the capital.

After a while, when Shen Che wanted to go to the toilet, Renee Jin took him and pushed him away from the table.As soon as they left, Jiang Nan switched on the wiretapping switch in his ears.

Seeing Jiang Nan's expression and Shen Che's address to Shen Bei, Sima Yunfan had guessed that this man who didn't fit in was the eldest son that Shen Yaoguo had hidden.She was a little puzzled, and asked in a low voice: "It seems that the two of them are not very harmonious. The two of them didn't come to the hotel together, so Shen Bei's actions should not be to help Shen Yaoguo."

"Not necessarily." Jiang Nan narrowed his eyes, "As long as he endures Shen Che, he's still from there."

suddenly!

Jiang Nan frowned.

"The table is over and I haven't shown up yet, so I'll notify the old man."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Nan immediately stood up and strode towards the direction where Shen Che disappeared before!
