Ye An Ran was not stupid, the stakes were clear after thinking about it for a bit. Since she needed Gu Shi Ming's help, naturally, she had to see how difficult it was for the other party to pretend to be stupid, so she looked at the champagne glass again.

Gu Shi Ming was hesitating on whether or not he should get involved in this muddy water. His life was peaceful and peaceful, why did he have to stir it up again?

However, he still said a few words of consolation, "Don't worry, your father is such a good person. Nothing will happen to him."

Seeing that Gu Shi Ming wanted to pass the topic, even if Ye An Ran was anxious, he could do nothing about it. She did not even have a shred of bargaining chip in front of him, other than Gu Qing's support on Weibo and the trace of his old relationship. If Gu Shi Ming ignored everything, he was afraid that he would have no other choice.

Just as expected, Gu Shi Ming casually skipped to another topic, and laughed: "Speaking of which, are you alone today?"

"No," Ye An Ran was clearly a little defeated by the enemy general as he stuttered, "I came together with a friend."

While she said that, she subconsciously looked towards Xi Jin Cheng, but the latter was just leisurely sipping her champagne, her eyes seemed to be wandering around, looking at the wild crowd.

Just as they were speaking up to this point, Sheng Xing Yu walked over leisurely from afar. He seemingly hugged Ye An Ran's shoulders in a familiar manner, and smiled at the three of them.

His last gaze landed on Xi Jin Cheng, and was shocked by the other party's fiendish gaze, but he still nodded his head with a gentle smile on his face: "Hello."

He had never formally met Xi Jin Cheng, so he might sound like a stranger who was distant from him. However, the other party's eyes carried a hint of coldness, causing him to feel a sense of unease from the bottom of his heart.

Before Sheng Xing Yu even realized it, he had already been categorized by Xi Jin Cheng as a type of person who didn't like others.

The moment he saw Sheng Xing Yu walking over, Xi Jin Cheng immediately thought of the farce of the 50th anniversary celebration.

For some reason, Sheng Xing Yu was suddenly beaten up hard by the young man that suddenly rushed out. After snatching his female companion, Ye An Ran immediately squeezed out from the crowd, held his face and looked left and right in pain, and in the end, both of them disappeared from the banquet.

At that time, that intimate feeling was just like when Sheng Xing Yu came over and casually held Ye An Ran's shoulders, making Xi Jin Cheng feel unspeakably unhappy.

Ye An Ran, who was suddenly pulled to the man's side, seemed to have felt Xi Jin Cheng, who was standing opposite of him, give him a gaze that was seemingly filled with hostility, and his heart felt a little uneasy.

However, now was not the time to think about such things. Her target was Gu Shi Ming, and she did not care about the others anymore.

"Xing Yu?" Gu Qing looked carefully, and her tone was filled with surprise: "When did you come back? You're even more handsome now."

Sheng Xing Yu smiled bashfully and replied: "I've just returned not long ago, I'm ready to settle it at home."

Gu Shi Ming recalled this scene very quickly, a look of astonishment flashed across his face that was filled with ravines: "When I was young, I didn't like to talk to people like that, but now I have grown up so much."

"Dad," Gu Qing couldn't help but rebuke, "I'm currently a famous gold medal lawyer, maybe I'll have to rely on him in the future if I have anything."

Gu Shi Ming could not help but smile and say: "Young talent, not bad, not bad."

Being praised by Gu Qing, Sheng Xing Yu could not help but smile and shake his head: "What kind of words are these? All these years it's all thanks to Old Man Gu's care.

At this time, when Gu Qing saw him holding Ye An Ran's shoulder, she realized something just by looking at him. She asked with a smile that carried some guesses: "Who are you and Miss Ye?"

"We," Sheng Xing Yu slowly said as he turned his head to look at Ye An Ran's somewhat anxious eyes, his answer at this time would probably have an important impact on the situation he was in, following that he laughed intimately and replied, "What relationship they have will depend on whether An Ran agrees to it or not."

Not to mention Gu Qing and Gu Shi Ming, even Xi Jin Cheng, who was standing to the side, was waiting for Ye An Ran's answer. He didn't know what answer he wanted to hear, but the moment he heard Sheng Xing Yu's words, his face darkened immediately.

Gu Qing's gossipy heart was immediately hooked by Sheng Xing Yu, and she asked while smiling: "Agree on what, or did you propose to me?"

After being so easily misunderstood, Sheng Xing Yu did not know whether to laugh or cry. He secretly pinched Ye An Ran's shoulder, indicating for her to go along with the story, but she discovered that the other party was in a trance, and his eyes were looking somewhere else.

"An Ran, are you alright?" he whispered into her ear.

But in the next second, Su Fei suddenly walked through the crowd, intimately holding onto Xi Jin Cheng's arm and laughed: "Jin Cheng, I've been looking for you for a long time."

She smiled politely when she saw the glances directed at her.

Actually, she had already been looking for Xi Jin Cheng's figure in the crowd since a long time ago. However, when she shifted her gaze, she immediately saw Ye An Ran, who was standing opposite of the man.

Even though he knew that Ye An Ran would be there and even though he knew that the two of them would definitely meet again, and that he had used this as a bargaining chip to get Xi Jin Cheng to accompany him, the instant he saw it, he still felt a dull pain in his heart.

Although the man didn't seem to care at all, but as a woman, she could instinctively tell that he had some different feelings than she had before.

Perhaps, Xi Jin Cheng didn't even know that he cared more about Ye An Ran than he had expected.

The moment Sheng Xing Yu appeared, she seemed to see Xi Jin Cheng tightening the fingers on the champagne he was holding, and walked over without hesitation.

She didn't want to see him so excited and angry by other women. She didn't want to see him always watching them closely.

Xi Jin Cheng coldly gazed down at Su Fei who was holding onto his arm, as though he was unhappy but he did not push her away, as if he was looking at Ye An Ran with a ruthless gaze.

"You guys chat, I have other things to do."

These words were obviously said to everyone present, but his eyes were staring straight at Ye An Ran, causing her heart to become anxious.

Without waiting for a response, he turned around and walked away, his anger lingering on his body.

"Why are you so angry all of a sudden?" Gu Qing couldn't help but mutter, but then turned around and curiously looked at the two people in front of him.

Right after they left each other's line of sight, Xi Jin Cheng forcefully flung away Su Fei's hand that was holding onto him, and said with an ice-cold and indifferent voice, "I think I said to keep you away from me."

It was not that she didn't see that the man was concerned about Ye An Ran at all. Perhaps the reason why she allowed him to get close to him was just to show off to him.

As though he was intentionally provoking the other party, Su Fei brought up the topic that Xi Jin Cheng was most unwilling to bring up.

"That was Ye An Ran's boyfriend?" She stared hard at the almost irrepressible anger on the man's face. "Still a fianc??"

"Su Fei." Xi Jin Cheng lifted his eyes, which were completely filled with an unfathomable depth, "Are you courting death?
