After I was kicked out by the benefactor

"Shuming?" After seeing the face of the person standing opposite, Zhong Wentian couldn't help being stunned, and subconsciously took a step in Xu Shuming's direction.

In the end, before he had time to step forward, Xu Shuming's remarks, which seemed to be completely unfamiliar to him, made Zhong Wentian stop in place again.

Xuan Hongyu, the youngest son of the Xuan family who was standing next to Zhong Wentian, planned to reprimand Xu Shuming at first.Zhong Wentian is today's distinguished guest, he managed to invite Zhong Wentian who stayed in Hong Kong for half a day, how could he allow someone to take away his interest.

Even though he knew that Xu Shuming might be one of today's guests, how could an ordinary guest compare with Zhong Wentian?

However, now he is very glad that he was a second or two late, so that he did not recklessly scold Xu Shuming.

Xuan Hongyu saw that the two seemed to be old acquaintances, and this matter would be easy to handle. He smiled generously, and raised his voice: "It turned out to be Assistant Xu, haha, I remember that my elder brother specially invited you today, just now in the lobby I feel rather regretful that I didn’t see Assistant Xu.” He said, glanced at Xu Shuming and Zhong Wentian, and said, “Mr. Zhong and Assistant Xu know each other?”

Xu Shuming lowered his eyelashes halfway, but he could feel that Zhong Wentian was looking at him all the time.He had a slight smile on his face, but he was thinking about how to get out. Hearing what Xuan Hongyu said, he immediately raised his eyes and said in Cantonese: "Mr. Xuan, you are joking, how could Mr. Zhong know me? I was very embarrassed just now." , It's my fault for disturbing you and Mr. Zhong, but I really didn't hear what you were talking about."

As he said, he raised his hand to look at his watch, then made a surprised look, and said, "It turns out that I have been out for so long, and Miss Yan brought my assistant here today. I have to go back and have a look, so don't bother me." Mr. Xuan and Mr. Zhong."

After he finished speaking, he turned his head and smiled politely at Zhong Wentian before turning around and leaving.

Zhong Wentian has remained silent ever since Xu Shuming said the words to clear the relationship, and only looked at the expression on Xu Shuming's face.

Zhong Wentian knew only half of Cantonese, so he didn't understand what Xu Shuming said, but Xu Shuming gave him a polite smile at the end, and he knew what it meant after thinking about it.

Then, Xu Shuming turned around and left without looking back, which not only puzzled Xuan Hongyu who was talking to him, but also made Zhong Wentian's eyes sink slowly.

It wasn't until Xu Shuming's figure completely disappeared into the confused night that Zhong Wen frowned.

Xuan Hongyu paid attention to Zhong Wentian's face, seeing that Zhong Wentian's expression was a little off, he immediately apologized and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhong—"

Zhong Wentian waved his hand, interrupted his words, and asked straightforwardly: "What did he just tell you?"

who?Xuan Hongyu paused, thinking about the meaning behind Zhong Wentian's words, and whether he had any unclear relationship with Yan Shuling's little assistant.Who would have thought that Zhong Wentian didn't give him time to hesitate, and looked straight at him with sharp eyes.

Xuan Hongyu shuddered at the sight of him, and subconsciously repeated what Xu Shuming said just now.

Zhong Wentian walked back to the main hall of tonight's banquet together with him. After listening to Xuan Hongyu's retelling, Zhong Wentian's expression remained unchanged, but he hummed noncommittally.

Xuan Hongyu really couldn't figure out what Zhong Wentian was thinking, but he could tell that Zhong Wentian was not in high spirits, which also made him very nervous, and his palms broke out in cold sweat.He held back his energy, searching for ways to change Zhong Wentian's mood.

Suddenly, Zhong Wentian turned his face to the side again, looked at him, and asked in a calm voice: "Your elder brother is not enough to invite celebrities today, he even invites his assistants, is he usually so careful and appropriate?"

If Xuan Hongyu still can't understand Zhong Wentian's meaning, then he has lived in this wealthy family for more than 20 years for nothing.

"How could it be? It is said that Assistant Xu is Yan Shuling's confidant. My elder brother sat down to negotiate with Yan Shuling today. In order to show sincerity, of course he must also invite his confidants to show his demeanor."

"Demeanor." Zhong Wentian repeated it in an emotionless voice, then looked at the brightly lit main hall not far away and said, "Second Young Master, your elder brother is the host today, and it's too much for me to leave without saying hello to him." I'm sorry. Take me to meet your elder brother."

"It's an honor, Mr. Zhong, please."

Over there, Xu Shuming didn't relax his shoulders until he was out of sight of Zhong Wentian and Xuan Hongyu, and let out a breath of foul air.He walked into the main hall of the banquet, put the wine glass that was about to be crushed by himself into the hands of a waiter, took another glass of iced cocktail, and took two sips before suppressing the strangeness in his heart and regaining his composure.

Why did Zhong Wentian come here?Xu Shuming thought of Xuan Hongyu's flattering appearance, and he didn't need to think about it to know that he invited him.

It's only been two months since I saw Zhong Wentian again, but it feels like a lifetime away.

He leaned against the wall, lowered his head, and shook the blue liquid in the glass with his fingers, but his eyes fell on the carpet without focus.

The old events that were originally hidden in the memory, with Zhong Wentian's sudden appearance, began to resurface in front of his eyes again.

No matter when, as long as I think about the past, my good mood will start to become extremely depressed.

What's more, the aftermath of this tragic accident has not been remedied until today.

He took revenge, but his father did not forgive himself, and he was still lying on the hospital bed.

How does this make him face Zhong Wentian?Xu Shuming closed his eyes, he took a deep breath, and suppressed all his thoughts, including seeing Zhong Wentian's heart constricted for a moment, it seemed that even the nerve endings were carrying a strange electric current, making his fingertips tremble. Involuntarily slightly paralyzed.

He regained his composure, and was about to straighten up and look for Yan Shuling, who hadn't been seen so far.Suddenly, his shoulder was patted by an unfamiliar force, Xu Shuming turned his head abruptly, only to see the face of a man he didn't recognize.

This man was about thirty years old, not very handsome in appearance, but he had a refined temperament and a smile on his face that gave people a very approachable feeling.

Xu Shuming stared at him blankly, not knowing why he always felt very familiar to him, as if he had seen him somewhere.

The man raised the cup in his hand to him, and said with a smile, "You're in a bad mood?"

Xu Shuming looked at him suspiciously, but didn't speak.

The man didn't mind at all, and continued: "Your face is very pale, and since you came here, you have been leaning against the wall, frowning, without saying a word."

He must have been watching me for a while.Xu Shuming thought to himself that he had rich experience in being approached by others, he smiled and looked at the man noncommittally.

"Are you Honghui's friend?" the man asked again.

Xu Shuming finally spoke this time: "I'm not, in fact, I'm just a small assistant. Thanks to the generosity of Young Master Xuan, I'm fortunate to be able to sneak a glass of wine in this hall."

At the right time, Xu Shuming caught sight of Yan Shuling's figure not far from diagonally opposite, and said to the man, "Sorry, my boss is calling me, excuse me."

After Xu Shuming finished speaking, he was about to leave when he thought of the cup in his hand. He looked around, then smiled at the man, put the cup in the man's hand, and said, "Help me, thank you, Mr. Unknown, I I enjoyed talking to you."

Xu Shuming left the man behind, and when he was about to walk to Yan Shuling's side, he suddenly thought why he was so familiar with that man just now.

In the past, when he and Zhong Wentian met not long ago, the way Zhong Wentian laughed was very similar to him.

There is a mature look in that kind of eyebrows and eyes, which is very attractive, but good education makes them not so aggressive.At first glance, it seems that I can get close to them.

Smile so approachable, as if there is no gap between them.

It seemed that as long as he had the courage to take a step, they would be equal.

Xu Shuming lowered his eyebrows and smiled, then shook his head, raised his head again and walked towards Yan Shuling.

Yan Shuling was standing with Xuan Honghui at this moment, they were very close, with warm smiles on their faces, talking and laughing as if there had never been any barrier between them.

Xuan Honghui stood beside Yan Shuling in a suit and leather shoes, smiling and smiling. He was tall and saw Xu Shuming first.He turned his head to look at Xu Shuming, and then Yan Shuling also turned to look at him. Seeing that it was Xu Shuming, a beautiful smile burst out on his face.

"Julian." Yan Shuling walked towards him.

Xu Shuming smiled at the guests who were looking at him, then walked to Yan Shuling's ear, and said in a low voice, "Lawyer Zhang and Dad have arrived, and they are waiting for you and Mr. Xuan in the meeting room."

After finishing speaking, Xu Shuming found that Xuan Honghui was looking at him, Xu Shuming had no choice but to smile back, and said to Xuan Honghui, "Mr. Xuan."

Xuan Honghui personally sent an invitation to Xu Shuming, of course he would not fail to recognize Xu Shuming.It's just that time has passed, and when I saw Xu Shuming again, he was already Yan Shuling's confidant.

He didn't know how much Xu Shuming had intervened between him and Yan Shuling, but Xu Shuming looked quiet on the surface, but unexpectedly he was also a ruthless character that should not be underestimated.

After Xu Shuming greeted Xuan Honghui, he lowered his head pleasingly, avoiding Xuan Honghui's staring eyes at him.

He could feel Xuan Honghui turning his head to look at him from time to time. If it is said that before Xuan Honghui met him for the first time, he was purely looking for beauty. He wanted to challenge Zhong Wentian's authority, but obviously, Xuan Honghui suffered a complete defeat.

Xu Shuming lowered his eyelashes, and when Xuan Honghui looked at it again, he suddenly raised his eyelids and looked straight at Xuan Honghui.

His eyes were very bright, but under the illumination of the luxurious crystal chandelier in the hall, they didn't feel warm at all, which made people feel cold when looking at them.

"Why does Mr. Xuan keep looking at me?" Xu Shuming looked at Xuan Honghui and asked with a faint smile.

Xuan Honghui's face froze when he saw him, and was about to reply, but he didn't expect Xu Shuming to go around her, and walked to Yan Shuling, whose back was facing them, and said something in a low voice, then turned around and backed away. go out.

Xuan Honghui didn't hear that sentence in a low voice, but it was definitely not a good word.After Yan Shuling heard this, he immediately turned his head and stared at him with burning eyes.

"Xuan Shao is really busy today. All the ladies in the room look down on him. He insists on chatting with my assistant. Do you think the people around me, Yan Shuling, are easy to get used to, or what?" Yan Shuling smiled. He whispered to Xuan Honghui without smiling.

Xuan Honghui had already endured Yan Shuling, and at this time he had reached the limit, so he immediately replied unceremoniously: "Yan Shuling, I want to ask you. You know that Xu Shuming belongs to Mr. He puts it by your side and manipulates it at will, do you think your backstage is good enough, or do you think Mr. Zhong is a fool."
