"Xu Junyan?"

Under the bright lights, I could only see the blurred silhouette of the person coming, but this did not prevent me from toasting with a smile on my face: "Young Master Chen...Brother Chen."

"Is there something wrong with your eyes?" He clinked glasses with me lightly, "The exhibition is very good and innovative."

The eye injury has not been reported, and the dinner has not yet officially started. When the exhibition was held in the afternoon, I have been standing in the corner to check the details with Tang Mo, and he discovered this abnormality carefully.

I smiled gratefully at him: "Young Master Chen praised me so much, I am really relieved. This is an old problem, and it will be fine after a while."

"You should rest for a few days." He patted me on the shoulder, "Tonight is your home game, perform well. There are many people waiting to make friends with such an outstanding talent like you."

I raised the wine glass to my lips, concealing a slightly embarrassed expression: "There are a lot of bosses tonight, so it's not my turn to show."

Chen Weihai didn't say anything, and left after clinking glasses again.When I was discussing with Tang Mo, Andre said that he was going to the bathroom, so he was not by my side for the time being, which made me flustered.

Just when I was thinking about calling him, I heard a familiar female voice behind me: "Junyan!"

I turned around, and Lin Ya's dress was covered with shining tassels, which became very vivid in my eyes, and it was easy to recognize.

"Miss is here." This time, we have cooperated with several big stars from various companies, and of course there are several high-level executives from Asia Entertainment. I have heard her name in the list that Andre has read.I hugged her, "Long time no see."

There was a smile in her tone of voice: "It's been a long time, I thought you were busy so I didn't bother...your eyes?"

Looks like tonight is about explaining it to everyone I talk to.I pointed to myself: "You still don't know?"

"Can the sequelae be so serious?" She took my arm and lowered her voice beside me, "Did you accidentally, or Yang..."

I squeezed her slender fingers, and she said understandingly: "I understand. Then how is your eyesight? Does the shadow affect your actions?"

"I can barely see a little bit, for example, you are a luminous body in my eyes." I joked, "I am now a high myopia without glasses. Fortunately, the skirt you are wearing is bright enough, otherwise I really can't see clearly. "

Lin Ya pinched my arm angrily: "Are you still poor after all this?"

"Who are in Asia Entertainment now?" I asked, "There are no young models, right?"

"You think too much, how could you have him on such an occasion, wait for him to climb up the ladder for a few more years." Lin Ya replied, "Don't worry."

I nodded, and was about to ask a few more questions about Song Cheng's recent situation, when a touch of gold appeared in front of my eyes.Andre approached us coldly: "Brother."

"This is Miss Lin." I tilted my head and introduced to Lin Ya, "My half-brother, Andre."

"Hello." Although I couldn't see Andre's expression clearly, I could get a glimpse from Lin Ya's immediately alienated tone, "Junyan, I have a few friends here, let's go over and say hello first. "

"Of course," I said, "have fun."

As soon as Lin Ya left, Andre came over and stood by my side. I said helplessly, "Can you be more polite? Are you showing embarrassment again? Fortunately, he is my friend, otherwise I don't know what to say about you." Not polite."

He replied unhappily: "I don't like her being so close to you, others will misunderstand."

"What did you misunderstand, that's the daughter of Asia Entertainment, and I'm not worthy of her." I touched the back of his hand comfortingly, "Okay, this time, stay with me the whole time, don't act cold like a bodyguard .Say a few nice words at least to save face for brother, okay?"

"I know." He slid his finger across my palm with his backhand, "Don't worry, brother."

Xu Yucheng also came very early, after all, he was the host of this dinner.He is still elegant and handsome, first came to Andre and asked him to take good care of me, and then went to chat with other guests who came to talk.

Sun Ning did indeed come with Xu Yuzhong.She was wearing a dark red dress, which set off her white skin, and followed Xu Yuzhong cautiously.I can't see the specifics clearly. I was worried that Xu Yuzhong would say something sarcastic, but fortunately, his tone was a bit lazy, and he wasn't interested in talking to me much.Sun Ning seemed to have something to say to me, but Xu Yuzhong turned and went to find her friend, so she had no choice but to follow.

I watched the smear of red disappear from my field of vision, and thought of Sun Ning's usual vigor and resoluteness, I felt inexplicably wanting to sigh.

Andre asked: "Why did she come with Brother Yuzhong?"

"Huh?" I came back to my senses, "You mean Sun Ning? She is my ex-colleague and also Xu Yuzhong's...girlfriend."

"Then brother will have less contact with her in the future."

"You can't say that, Sun Ning is still very good..." I shook my head, "You can't deny a person's character just because of her love partner. Xu Yuzhong is very bad in your eyes, but in Sun Ning's eyes There must be merits. Besides, isn’t love just focusing on the good things about the other party.”

"So..." Andre lowered his head and whispered into my ear, the heat of his breath hit my ear, "No matter how stupid, selfish and cowardly my brother is, there is still something cute in my eyes."

"Although drawing inferences from one instance is commendable, it's not a pleasant statement."

His hands were on my lower back, and the heat was transmitted to my skin through the clothes: "Then brother only needs to hear the second half of the sentence, I think brother is very cute."

"Don't make trouble." I tried my best to look serious, "This is a public place."

"It's not in public places, like going home?" There was a hint of coquettishness in his tone, "This is what my brother said..."

Andre lost his voice halfway through his words.I turned my head in doubt, but I couldn't tell what he saw, but soon I knew.

"Mr. Xu."

Yang Chen's cold voice sounded in front of me.I saw the brooch on his solid black suit gleaming like a bright star suddenly appearing in the night.

The light it refracts is so bright that it hurts my fragile eyeballs unconsciously.

"Mr. Yang..." I said, "I still haven't recovered from my eye injury some time ago, so please be tolerant of my lack of etiquette."

"It's okay." Yang Chen's tone was too calm, "Of course I understand."

I originally wanted to go through the process in such a detached manner, and spend less time with Yang Chen, but Andre, who was standing beside me, suddenly said, "Mr. Yang, hello."

"Oh?" Yang Chen's voice sounded a bit contemptuous, "Sorry, I didn't notice just now."

Can Andre be so big standing here and can't see it, not to mention they have seen it a long time ago.This is completely provocative in Yang Chen's style... I tugged at the hem of Andre's suit, trying to prevent him from causing trouble on this occasion.

To my surprise, Andre, who usually doesn't cause troubles and is unhappy, actually chatted with Yang Chen politely: "It's great that Mr. Yang can come."

"I wasn't free at first, but Xu Yucheng hosted it after all, so I have to give him face."

He clearly knew that I was responsible for the operation of the project itself.I pretended to be very interested in the arrangement in the distance, ignoring his belittling words.

"My brother arranged it very carefully tonight, it will be very exciting." Andre put his hand on my shoulder, this is the first time he has defended my dignity outside, although his tone is a little pleasant, "Mr. Yang is waiting Let's see."

"Really?" Yang Chen said after a while, "Then I'll just wait and see... It's best not to disappoint me."

Hearing what this meant, he was about to leave, and I secretly breathed a sigh of relief.Unexpectedly, Yang Chen's hand suddenly stretched out in front of me, and nimbly buttoned the top button of my shirt.

I was so stiff that I didn't dare to move.

At today's dinner party, not many people know that Yang Chen and I have passed, but his every move always attracts many eyes. I really don't have the good fortune to accept such sudden intimacy.

"Thank you...Mr. Yang." I touched my neckline, the skin still had the warmth of Yang Chen's fingers, "Just tell me about this kind of thing later."

"It's easy to do, Mr. Xu doesn't need to think too much, you are not very special."

After Yang Chen finished speaking, he patted my side face lightly, turned around with a sneer and left, leaving me to stand still and grit my teeth to get through the embarrassment for a while.

Andre put his hand on my shoulder hard: "Brother."

"You know that we are not getting along, why do you insist on talking to him?" I frowned and said, "Don't provoke him next time, can you?"

"……sorry."

"Forget it... I don't blame you." I suddenly felt a slip of the tongue, why should I get angry with Andre, "It's my brother who didn't handle the relationship well, it's not your fault. Next time you want to talk to him before you talk to me , I’ll just avoid it.”

"I thought you and him were over." Andre explained with a particularly aggrieved tone, "I didn't know he was so narrow-minded, and insisted on doing such a thing to humiliate brother."

The insulting actions Yang Chen made on this occasion made me sad enough just thinking about it in my heart, and Andre said it bluntly, it was like stabbing into my heart one after another: "This topic ends here. Ann De Lie, go to Tang Mo's place and ask how many people have come, let the host and Brother Yucheng set the pace."

He was silent: "Oh... then can brother be here by himself?"

"It's not like I can't see anything." I said, "Go ahead, the dinner party is about to begin."
