Chapter 531

?

531 he actually didn’t know her identity

The auction was held in the form of a banquet and an auction.

it could be seen that the auction was just an excuse. in fact, it was no different from other business banquets, used to expand social connections.

nan city was not a place jiang che was familiar with, but there were definitely people in the circle who had heard of fifth lord jiang’s name and had seen him before. it was just that they did not dare to think that he would appear here.

therefore, when shi yan’s group appeared at the banquet venue, everyone’s attention was attracted by their appearance. some people felt that they had seen jiang che before, but they didn’t dare to think that it was fifth lord jiang.

On the other hand, Xie Xingchen quickly came up to them the moment they entered the venue.

“Xingxing, do you think the person walking towards us is Mr. Xie who invited you over? he’s really thoughtful. your friendship with him is only so-so, but he actually left so many important people behind to greet you.”

Shi Yao was feeling extremely nervous, especially when she was walking together with such an eye-catching group of people. If it weren’t for mu Xingxing holding her arm, her legs would’ve turned to jelly and she wouldn’t have been able to walk.

however, this did not stop her from gossiping.

she had seen many people at the banquet on tv, most of whom were famous people in southern city. before he saw them, xie xingchen was entertaining a big shot he had seen on tv.

“i don’t have that much face.” Mu Xingxing laughed.

shi yao was puzzled.

mu xingxing didn’t say much and only looked at jiang che and shi yan with a smile.

shi yao instantly understood.

“the stars.” Xie Xingchen greeted mu Xingxing first and did not ignore her. It could be said that he was very thoughtful.

“Thank you for your invitation, Sir.”

“you’re welcome. you’re my sister’s good friend, so you’re my good friend as well. Besides, I should be the one thanking you.”

“thank me?”

” that’s right. thank you. if it weren’t for you, i wouldn’t have been able to invite the fifth master of the jiang family and the young master of the su family. ” He took a few steps forward and called out to Jiang che and su mu, ” I’m sorry. I was in a hurry that day and didn’t recognize fifth Lord Jiang and young master su at first sight. It was my business partner who recognized you and reminded me just now. Otherwise, I’m afraid I would have to neglect you two.

he pulled the person who had come with him to his side. ” ” this is my partner, xue yu, from south city. the auction was organized by us together. xue yu likes to travel around, so i’ve seen you two on some occasions. ”

“Jiang, fifth Lord Jiang, young master su.” xue yu quickly went up to greet him. he was very timid in front of jiang che and could not even greet him properly.

after all, this was someone else’s place. since he had accepted the invitation, he should still give him some face.

Jiang che nodded slightly.

he did not make a sound.

Su mu, on the other hand, said, ” we’re just here for a vacation in southern city. It’s a private trip. It’s just a coincidence that we’re here to join in the fun. You don’t have to be so polite. You can go and entertain the others.

It was obvious that they didn’t want to show off and wanted to keep a low profile.

No one dared to say that Jiang che was not giving them face. On the contrary, Xue Yu was flattered that he could nod at them.

“then, then please be at ease. i hope you can bid for something as you wish tonight. it’s not a wasted trip. xingchen and i will go entertain the other guests. by the way, xingchen has arranged room number eleven for you all. if you’re tired, you can go and rest.”

xie xingchen said,”i didn’t know that it was fifth lord jiang and young master su, so the private room was randomly arranged. now that i know it’s the two of you, i’m afraid that room 11 is not very suitable.” xue yu, get someone to make the arrangements and empty room number one.”

Xue Yu smacked his forehead and apologized to them, ” ” look at me, i’m so confused. i’ll go arrange it now! ”

Jiang che didn’t care what room it was. With his status, he had always enjoyed the best treatment and had long been used to other people’s special treatment. In his opinion, it was not a big deal for others to change his room to the best room at the last minute.

But Shi Yan was unwilling to accept this favor.

Once he accepted this favor, if Xie Xingchen looked for Jiang che or su mu for any matters in the future, it would not be good to reject them directly.

it was a problem.

“No need to trouble yourself, Room 11 will do,” she said.

xie xingchen and xue yu seemed to have just noticed shi yan, and were a little surprised that she could make a decision without the fifth lord jiang’s permission.

in the eyes of these people, women were often just men’s accessories, and the more powerful the man was, the more so.

however, the two of them were very observant. seeing that shi yan had finished speaking and jiang che didn’t say anything, as if he would do whatever she said, they didn’t dare to neglect shi yan.

then we’ll do as this young lady says and stay in Room 11. I’ll get someone to clean up Room 11 again and change it to the best tea. xie xingchen said.

Xue Yu bade him farewell and left to make the arrangements.

Xie Xingchen didn’t leave immediately. He looked at Shi Yan and Jing Hailan. I was being impolite to the two of you just now. How may I address you? ”

However, he was not staring at them as he asked this question. Instead, he was looking at Jiang che and su mu.

He had a good sense of propriety.

“shi yan, my fiancée.” Jiang che said.

Xie Xingchen was a little surprised that he would respond and even emphasize the word ‘fiancée’.

su mu had introduced jing hailan in a similar way.

“oh, it’s miss shi and miss jing. i’ve been rude.”

then, he looked at shi yan and hesitated for a while before asking, ” if i may ask, is there any relationship between miss shi and the shi family in the capital city? ”

” it’s really presumptuous of me to say that. i noticed that miss shi’s eyes resemble eldest madam shi’s, and miss shi came here with young master su, so i couldn’t help but overthink it. after all, it’s no secret in the circle that the eldest madam of the shi family in jingdu is the eldest daughter of the su family in haicheng. ”

Su mu answered before Shi Yan, ” “yanyan is my younger sister.”

This confirmed Xie Xingchen’s guess.

xie xingchen seemed to be a little shocked by this news. he opened his mouth and only said after a long while, ” “i actually guessed right.”

“Fifth Lord Jiang’s fiancée is the eldest daughter of the Shi family, who rarely shows her face in public. If this news gets back to the capital, I don’t know how many people will be shocked,” he said half-jokingly.

this reaction didn’t seem like she was pretending to not know.

Xie Xingchen really did not know about her relationship with the Shi family.

this surprised shi yan.

in the capital city, other than the shi family who had a deeper relationship with her, the xie family was second.

The old master of the Xie family had three brothers. After the third branch was expelled from the Xie family, the Xie family still had the first branch and the second branch. as the eldest son of the xie family’s second branch, xie xingchen still had some status in the xie family.

Xie Heng had already seen her in Haicheng, but Xie Xingchen still did not know about her relationship with the Shi family.

Well, the Xie family seemed to be similar to the one-word rule. Whoever was in charge had the absolute right to speak. Indeed, not everyone was qualified to ask about the matters of Xie Heng, the family head.

Thinking about it this way, it did not seem strange that Xie Xingchen did not know her identity.

“What? you’re the young lady of the shi family?”

at this moment, someone exclaimed in shock.

It was mu.

Her reaction was so big that everyone around her, including Jiang che, looked at her.

shi yan looked at her and smiled. ” i thought xingxing already knew. you’ve also heard me call su mu ‘cousin’. ”

“Also, Xingxing, your reaction is too big. Is it so hard to believe that I’m the young miss of the Shi family? I’m also surnamed Shi.”
