Seeing the newcomer, Xu Chencan was stunned.

He was so familiar with this person, as if he had seen him before. However, he couldn't immediately remember who it was.

”I have always been a clean person, but Mr. Chen is a little strange today. There's actually no one by my side?” Chu Lingyu asked as he looked at his empty surroundings.

Chen Da simply smiled and continued to look at Xu Chencan as he nonchalantly said, ”There will be a day when this person becomes bored. Now that Boss Chu has brought such a beauty out in public, it really is interesting.”

He continued to size up Xu Chencan, yet he did not cause anyone to be displeased. It seemed that this Chen Da was also a very capable individual.

”This young lady is related to an old friend. Why does she look so familiar to me?” After looking for a long time, Chen Da couldn't help but ask curiously.

It seemed like he had found something. Xu Chencan looked at Chu Lingyu nervously, not knowing what to say.

However, Chu Lingyu seemed quite amiable. Seeing Xu Chencan ask for his help, he pulled her hand and asked Chen Da with a smile that was not a smile, ”Which friend do you think she is?”

It seemed like this was indeed someone he knew. Chen Da looked at it once more and soon, he had an answer in his heart.

”Is she the daughter of that Lady Chen?” Chen Da asked in surprise.

The first time he saw Xu Chencan, he felt a sense of familiarity.

”I'm honored that Mr. Chen still remembers my mother.” Xu Chencan nodded slightly, as if to express her gratitude.

Since someone had already recognized her, Chu Lingyu's goal had been achieved. Without giving Chen Da any more time to ask, he took Xu Chencan with him and left.

Arriving at a relatively quiet corner, Xu Chencan sized up the people in the hall. Without even raising his head, he asked, ”Is this really going to work?”

”The person who really wants to get the information from you will definitely come over.” Chu Lingyu said confidently.

Seeing how confident he was, Xu Chencan didn't have anything to say. Since no one was around, he decided to fill his stomach first.

Many people were paying attention to them. For some reason, it was difficult for them to show their faces. They were all waiting for someone to attack first.

It was only after everyone had been in a deadlock for a long time that someone finally walked out and walked straight toward Xu Chencan.

”Boss Chu, may I have a word with Miss Xu?” The first to arrive was a man who appeared to be in his forties. He stared at Xu Chencan with a trace of excitement in his eyes.

Chu Lingyu squeezed Xu Chencan's hand, indicating that she should deal with it herself.

He nodded at the man and left without looking back.

”You're ChenCan, right?” The man looked excitedly at Xu Chencan.

Now that he was the only one left, Xu Chencan nodded uncomfortably and looked at him warily, ”May I ask who you are?”

”My surname is Wu, you can call me Uncle Wu. Your mother and I are high school classmates.” Uncle Wu's eyes were filled with tears as he gently introduced himself.

High school classmate? Xu Chencan looked at him in confusion.

She had seen this person before on the guest list. Chu Lingyu had also seen his information, but she didn't say that he and Chen Jingyuan were high school classmates.

Seeing that she didn't seem to believe him, Uncle Wu self-deprecatingly curled his lips. ”It's normal that you don't know. After my wife and I got married, the things that happened in the past …”

With these words, Xu Chencan finally understood.

Uncle Wu was someone who had been taken in by his wife, so naturally, some things had to be hidden from her.
