Chapter 20 The Chu Family
Lin Yang still looked out the car window and said nothing.

Xie Shiyu may have felt that this topic had already been brought up by him, and he seemed embarrassed if he didn't mention it.

"I heard that the Chu family, a powerful family in the past in Hecheng, their youngest heir has returned to China."

She didn't react to anything else that fell in Lin Yang's ears. Only when Xie Shiyu mentioned the Chu family, Lin Yang's eyebrows raised and she reacted.

Chu family…

It must be Chu Yanhuai.

So is this evening just for him?

The dinner party was not very important to her. What was important now was that she could meet Chu Yanhuai tonight.

But Xie Shiyu stopped mid-sentence and did not continue.

Lin Yang couldn't hear the rest of the words and felt irritated in his eyes.

She still couldn't help turning her head to look at Xie Shiyu.

The moment Lin Yang turned his head, Xie Shiyu chuckled, with an expression that showed he was trying to control her.

"Tonight's dinner is full of high-profile people from various industries. Most of them are here to try to talk to the newly appointed Mr. Chu of the Chu family."

After Xie Shiyu finished speaking, Lin Yang felt a layer of doubt in his heart.

A few days ago, Xie Cheng quarreled with Xie Shiyu because he was afraid that the Chu family would take away resources. Shouldn't he avoid tonight's dinner?

Why would I want to come and participate?

Could it be that he wanted to take a risky move and join forces with Chu Yanhuai to monopolize most of the industries in Hecheng?

But if Chu Yanhuai disagrees, then wouldn't they change from a secret fight to an open fight?

Lin Yang couldn't figure out what Xie Cheng was going to do.

Her eyes accidentally glanced at Xie Shiyu, and she happened to catch his gaze as he looked over.

Lin Yang asked him directly: "Your family and the Chu family have a cooperative and antagonistic relationship, right?"

"Yes."

Xie Shiyu answered without hesitation, and Lin Yang could see the innocence written on his face through the streetlight outside the window.

Lin Yang smiled and nodded, feeling a little clearer in her heart. She took a deep look at Xie Shiyu and said nothing further.

For deeper issues, we cannot expect to know them from Xie Shiyu.

Xie Shiyu was confused by Lin Yang's words. He was curious about what Lin Yang was asking him for.

"You really don't know who Chu Yanhuai is?" He asked Lin Yang again, using the topic of Chu.

Last time in front of her father and grandma, she 100% pretended not to know.

Asking Lin Yang again today, he felt that Lin Yang had never deliberately concealed anything in front of him, so he should be able to tell this.

Lin Yang sneered in his heart when he heard it.

This is not to give up yet.

"Should I get to know him?" Lin Yang looked at him and asked seriously.

Xie Shiyu couldn't tell that she was telling lies.

I had some doubts in my heart, but I didn't dare to ask any more.

There was no communication between the two people at the back, not even a look.

Arriving at the dinner party, after getting off the car, Xie Shiyu came over to open the door for Lin Yang because of the occasion, and offered his hand to help her out of the car.

Lin Yang was sitting in the car, looking at his stretched out hand, and looked up at him reluctantly.

Xie Shiyu saw that she was not moving, and his eyes reminded her to pay attention to the occasion. Lin Yang reluctantly stretched out his hand. After getting off the car, he reluctantly took his arm and walked with him behind Xie Cheng and Mrs. Xie. .

There are already many people in the hall, it seems that they arrived not too early.

As soon as they entered the hall, they attracted a lot of attention.

And all those gazes fell on Lin Yang alone.

Xie Cheng and Mrs. Xie, who were walking in front, were the first to sense who they were looking at, and they both turned back to look at Lin Yang.

When Lin Yang saw Xie Cheng and his wife turning back, she smiled with a sense of confusion and met their eyes with meaning.

They couldn't show any bad expressions on this occasion, lest they be photographed and posted online for deep interpretation. They only took one look, then looked away and continued to move forward.As for Lin Yang, who appeared with Xie Shiyu on his arm, he felt keenly that many eyes were staring at him from the moment he entered the hall.

She knew why these people looked at her, and half of the reason was that she had never appeared on such a big occasion since her parents passed away.

This time she appeared again, and many people recognized her. She was recognized because she appeared in a cheongsam.

There are only a few people in Hecheng who like to wear cheongsam to participate in activities.

And because of Xie Shiyu's scandal some time ago, many people are saying that the Xie family wants to break off their engagement with her because Xie Shiyu doesn't like her and has never taken her in public.

And when she appeared today, she still had Xie Shiyu on her arm, so everyone naturally wanted to watch the show.

Xie Shiyu also noticed something strange around him. He lowered his eyes and looked at Lin Yang. Seeing her serious expression, he thought Lin Yang was nervous to attend such an occasion after such a long time.

He asked in a low voice: "Are you afraid?"

When Lin Yang heard Xie Shiyu's words, he almost couldn't help but look at him on the spot.

She tried hard to suppress it for a long time before she successfully suppressed her urge to scold him.

But I couldn't hold back my resentment against him.

"Do you think I am you?" Lin Yang snorted and mocked.

Xie Shiyu took a deep breath in anger when he saw that he was being treated like this despite her caring.

Lin Yang didn't plan to let him go yet.

She suppressed her voice and continued at a volume that only two people could hear: "I heard that when you and your father attended a cocktail party for the first time, someone scared you so much that you wet your pants."

There was a rumor this morning, I don't know if it's true or not, but she thinks it's very true.

Originally, she thought this was a joke that Xie Shiyu had to force herself to tell to discredit him.

Sure enough, after she finished speaking, Xie Shiyu turned pale and stopped talking.

Lin Yang felt very comfortable.

It's really ridiculous. Ever since she was born, when Xie Shiyu was playing in the mud at home, his parents would take him to various big events.

She has seen this kind of scene a lot since she was a child, and she doesn't feel stage fright or petty just because it hasn't happened in a few years.

She'd be scared, that's all hell.

The only thing that made her feel uncomfortable tonight was that the person standing next to her was Xie Shiyu, and she had to be tied to him all night.

Just thinking about it makes me feel uncomfortable.

So as soon as Xie Cheng entered the business crowd, Lin Yang asked Xie Shiyu to find an excuse to separate from Xie Cheng and the others, and asked him to take him to a relatively remote and quiet corner.

As soon as he arrived at the place, Lin Yang immediately let go of Xie Shiyu with an expression as if he was avoiding something dirty.

Sure enough, as soon as she let go, she felt relaxed all over.

You can see it just by looking at his expression.

Seeing her like this, Xie Shiyu couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

"Don't look like you dislike me. I don't think much about being with you."

Xie Shiyu refused to admit defeat.

When Lin Yang turned around to get a drink from the passing waiter, he heard Xie Shiyu's words and sneered.

Turning around again, she looked at Xie Shiyu with playful eyes: "Is it possible to bring Chen Ziqi tonight, so you brought her here?"

"Yes!" Xie Shiyu answered without hesitation.

But after he finished speaking, when he saw Lin Yang smiling in triumph, he knew he had been tricked again.

Lin Yang raised his hand and shook the red wine in his hand at him, and said deliberately: "It seems that Master Xie was not trained enough by his father some time ago."

Xie Shiyu was stimulated, but he couldn't get angry. He could only stare at Lin Yang with vicious eyes.

Lin Yang was amused by his deflated appearance.

　Dr. Wow Chu hasn't appeared for a long time.
