However, the way she looked at Gu Qingjiu didn’t reveal her true thoughts.
Gu Qingjiu merely did a quick sizing up, and she could tell that Liu Meigui was merely an accompaniment among the crowd.
Her gaze had just briefly fallen on her for a moment when a rich-looking young man with exquisite looks stood up.
“Brother Niancheng!”
There was a childish feel to his appearance. He also had arrogance and pride in his eyes that revealed how spoiled he was.
He was the standard example of a prodigal son.
But he didn’t look like someone to mess with.
When he shouted He Niancheng’s name, there was a friendliness to his tone.
At that moment, everyone in the room looked towards He Niancheng. They were all full of surprise and astonishment.
Astonished that the overbearing rich young man could treat him with so much respect.
Yes, respectfully.
Who was Ye Henyu?
He was the youngest, third-generation child of the Ye family, and he was pampered to the skies at home.
From a young age, he had engaged in all sorts of misdeeds. Although he didn’t have a complete lack of principles, no one could quite stop him when his arrogance acted up.
When had he ever treated someone with such respect?
This He Niancheng who just entered…
Judging from his appearance alone, he was a handsome man whose looks one couldn’t find any fault with.
It was easy to tell from how the female companions of these people were staring at him. Their eyes were fixed at him and it screamed with a boy-crazy look.
He exuded an extraordinary and high-and-mighty aura. When he gazed downwards at these rich young men, there was indifference in his eyes.
He definitely was a man with an extraordinary background.
As those present came from influential families, how could they fail to see this?
Especially when they saw Ye Henyu’s attitude.
But some of those in the know had their own speculations as they looked at He Niancheng at that very moment.
“Brother Niancheng, it’s really hard to invite you to dinner. The last time I invited you, you turned me down almost instantly.”
Ye Henyu was wearing a silk shirt and the top two buttons were unbuttoned, giving him an unrestrained vibe. As he walked over, he beamed broadly at He Niancheng.
His smile was a little goofy.
This was what Gu Qingjiu thought of Ye Henyu when she saw him.
Ye Henyu, who was initially and solely paying attention to He Niancheng, didn’t notice Gu Qingjiu.
But when he walked over, he saw that a girl’s arm was hooked with He Niancheng’s.
There was a hint of shock in his eyes.
Gu Qingjiu, however, appeared calm when she saw Ye Henyu. She didn’t seem nervous at all.
She merely felt that Ye Henyu’s gaze was strange.
But she felt a slight tightening sensation on her arm when she heard He Niancheng say in a low voice, “I had something on previously.”
That was considered his explanation to Ye Henyu.
Ye Henyu, of course, didn’t mind. As he swept his astonished gaze over Gu Qingjiu, he immediately flashed a smile. “I was just joking. Brother Niancheng, you’re giving me face by turning up. Come, come, come have a seat…”
He then waved at Huo Yingcheng who was behind them. “Brother Huo, come along.”
“I know. No need to stand in ceremony.”
He Niancheng beamed broadly before going over with Gu Qingjiu to sit down.
But there was a minor mistake in the seating arrangement.
Initially, Ye Henyu had reserved two main seats for He Niancheng and Huo Yingcheng.
Upon seeing Gu Qingjiu, he had merely regarded her as He Niancheng’s female companion that he brought along, the kind that had no importance.
Who knew when they went over to sit down, He Niancheng had pulled Gu Qingjiu to sit down with him?
Ye Henyu instantly kept his questions away. With the awareness he had developed from growing up in an influential family, he winked at his trashy friends and someone instantly gave up his seat at the table to make space for them.
