There were still about half an hour left in the dancing segment.
Jiang Linyuan and Shen Guoguo just wanted to be a couple of couch potatoes, sneaking little bites to eat.
Unfortunately, as the vice principal had said, Jiang Linyuan was the star of this gathering.
The moment he stepped away from Su Muzhi, people started coming over to greet him one by one.
Some of them might not have liked Jiang Linyuan, but they wouldn't show it at a banquet. They still had to keep up appearances.
Qian Yan had been so outspoken only because she was an outsider and didn't understand the weight of the Su Family's influence—and because the Devil's Eye had been pulling strings behind the scenes.
"Jiang Linyuan, it's a pleasure to meet you..."
A handsome young man raised his glass toward him politely, wearing a friendly smile.
What the hell was with that "friendly" smile? Was he some kind of prince?
"Do you like surfing? You should come to one of my parties on the family yacht sometime!"
A lively, outgoing girl eagerly invited him, licking her lips without thinking.
Where are you putting your hands? Are there lots of seafood at your yacht parties? A whole bunch of Silver Whales bobbing up and down in the blue water, right?
"You look like you work out a lot. Maybe sometime..."
Gay. Skip.
What kind of people were at this banquet?
Jiang Linyuan wondered, yet kept smiling as he greeted everyone and shook their hands, handling the endless stream of well-wishers with ease.

Everyone had gone to talk to Jiang Linyuan. Now no one was keeping her company.
She tugged gently at Jiang Linyuan's pant leg, hoping he'd wrap up this boring business soon.
