Upon hearing Jin Yan's words, Su Mei couldn't help but smile.

”Miss Jin is indeed a few years older than me, it's only natural that she would be more sensible than me. Moreover, once this woman reaches the age of 30, she will think more. It seems that I still have a few more years left.”

The other members of the Xiao family were communicating with each other, so no one noticed the movements of the undercurrents.

Jin Yan's face reddened in embarrassment.

From the moment she entered the door, she knew that Su Mei was definitely not a weak person. She was being sarcastic with every word she said, meaning that she was an old woman?

Jin Yan gritted her teeth as she reminded him. ”I haven't passed my twenty-ninth birthday yet. It's not even thirty yet.”

”Ah, then I'm sorry. Perhaps I remembered wrongly.” Su Mei's face was filled with surprise, then she said in an unfriendly tone, ”Anyway, I'm only one year away.”

For some reason, Jin Yan could feel Su Mei's hostility towards her, starting from the very first moment.

As Su Mei was thinking about when she had offended Xiao Yan, she said, ”Oh yeah, I heard that Miss Jin was engaged to Brother Xiao before, and then Miss Jin unilaterally cancelled it, right?”

”That's right!”

”Oh …” Su Mei laughed and said with an innocent expression, ”It seems like Miss Jin is right to cancel the engagement. I feel that … You and Big Brother Xiao are not very suitable. ”

Jin Yan frowned, and her face darkened. ”I'm sure Miss Su is confident she'll be able to catch Yu's eye today?”

”Oh? Furthermore, my family can be considered to be a high position official, and a high position family. Furthermore, I am also young and beautiful, so at the very least, I should be more suitable for Big Brother Xiao than someone like Miss Jin, who comes from a normal family background, right? ”

These words completely exposed Su Mei's arrogant nature and overconfidence.

Seeing how determined Su Mei was to win, Jin Yan couldn't bear to insult her. A faint smile played about her lips. ”Is that so?” ”Then I'll wish Miss Su in advance. I'll definitely be able to accomplish what I want to do.”

The latter half of Jin Yan's words contained a hint of mockery, but Su Mei's face was full of enjoyment. ”Then I'll be counting on your blessings. I'll definitely succeed!”

Jin Yan looked at her coldly. Really? Maybe she hadn't really experienced what failure was.

As everyone was talking and laughing, Xiao Yu arrived outside.

Ye Yan Xi, who was sleeping soundly in the car, felt the car stop moving. Her eyelashes trembled as she woke up and looked out the window in a daze.

Perhaps it was because he had too much work to do today, so he was busy all afternoon. As soon as he got on the car, he felt sleepy and fell asleep.

Thinking that the car had arrived at Qingyu Bay, Ye Yan Xi was looking at the scenery outside the window in a daze. Suddenly, she quivered. This isn't right, why haven't I come here before? Ye Yan Xi pulled down the window in an attempt to get a better look.

After carefully observing for a few seconds, Ye Yan Xi was finally certain that this was not the Green Jade Bay.

He looked to the side and saw that Xiao Yu had already opened the car door and was about to get out.

”Wait …” What is this place? Shall we not go back? ” While she was sleeping, she heard Xiao Yu tell Xu Bei that he was going home. Why did he suddenly open his eyes and come here?

Ye Yan Xi looked at the mansion outside of the car with a dumbstruck expression. He didn't understand what Xiao Yu meant.

While he was hesitating, he heard Xiao Yu command in a low voice, ”Get out of the car!”

Helpless, Ye Yan Xi could only open the door and follow Xiao Yu out. Just as she got off the car, she heard Xiao Yu tell Xu Bei to leave first. When he came to pick up the phone, he would call him.

Ye Yanxi, who was still half asleep, still didn't understand the situation.

”Why did you let Xu Bei go?” ”What is this place?” Ye Yan Xi looked around.

Xiao Yu didn't answer her question. He decisively grabbed her slender waist and walked in the direction of the villa.

”Just follow me!”

What do you mean just follow you?

Ye Yan and Xi Xi were grumbling when they saw Xiao Yu coming over. The two guards quickly came over and respectfully said, ”Young Master is back.”

This can't be...

While she was thinking, Ye Yan heard a high-pitched voice filled with joy, ”Little Yu, you're really slow. I've been waiting for you.”

It was Huo Lin.

She wanted to turn around and run away, but Xiao Yu seemed to have already expected this reaction from her. Her hand was tightly wrapped around her waist, making it difficult for her to even turn around.

”This is …” The moment she saw Ye Yan Xi, the joy on her face disappeared. She frowned in displeasure, ”Why are you here?”

”She works for my company.” Xiao Yu explained on the side.

”It's a banquet for our Xiao family. Why did you bring an outsider here?” Huo Lin's face turned ugly as she scolded, ”There's still one …” Hour work? ”

”I forgot to say, she's a translator from our company.” Xiao Yu coldly said, ”I still have some matters to attend to. This year can be considered my first year here.”

”What?” You want to leave before you even enter the door? ”

Xiao Yu glanced at Ye Yan Xi, ”This staff member is working overtime with me. She has to complete an important contract, and she has to leave today. If Mom wants her to leave, then I can't stay here any longer.”

Although Huo Lin didn't welcome Ye Yan Xi, Xiao Yu had already said so. If she chased Ye Yan Xi away, then Xiao Yu would definitely leave as well.

”So be it. It's just a matter of having a pair of chopsticks.” Huo Lin glared at Ye Yan Xi, then turned his head to comfort Xiao Yu, ”I've asked your employee to stay. You don't have to leave, right?”

Xiao Yu's face was still as indifferent as before. He only said to Ye Yanxi, ”Let's go in.”

He was in a panic and didn't dare to look up at Huo Lin. He could only reply, ”Alright.”

Xiao Yu walked in front in large strides, so she could only brace herself and enter.

In fact, she didn't want to go in at all. Ye Yanxi cursed in her heart.

What does that mean? Why did Xiao Yu bring her to a family banquet for no reason? This was too embarrassing. She didn't want to leave at all times, but where could she hide now? It was very quiet in this villa. There didn't seem to be any sound of cars passing by. Even if they went out, they wouldn't be able to get a taxi. Thinking of this, Ye Yan Xi could only follow Xiao Yu inside.

There should be a lot of people in the Xiao family. She could only pray that no one would notice her.

As she followed Xiao Yu inside, Ye Yanxi only felt as if she were rushing towards a blue river that had fallen from the sky; she felt as if she were being tortured.
