Chatting with Blue Heart was very casual and relaxed. Blue Heart was also good at chatting. At least, when she was chatting with Xiao Zheng, she was very patient. Her face was always filled with interest towards Xiao Zheng's words.
This was a form of respect, and it gave Xiao Zheng a sense of satisfaction.
After chatting for about half an hour, a tired look appeared on Blue Heart's beautiful face. Xiao Zheng tightened the blanket around Blue Heart's neck and said gently, "Rest. I'll come another day. "
Blue Heart revealed a gentle expression and nodded, "Okay. Go do what you need to do. "
When they parted, Blue Heart stealthily kissed Xiao Zheng on the cheek. Then, she shrunk into the blanket. Even her head was covered.
Xiao Zheng shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. He gently closed the door for Blue Heart. He then drove to the Yan Family.
He hadn't come to the Yan Family in a while. On one hand, there was no need to come. On the other hand, there was too deep enmity between them. He was too embarrassed to come. Xiao Zheng felt quite nervous when he went to support Shang Yao. He was afraid that the Yan Family would take revenge and slap his face.
He was like putting his warm face on someone else's cold butt. It was very passive.
However, there was nothing he could do. Shang Yao had supported Xiao Zheng many times, so he couldn't reject her. Secondly, Shang Yao was at the helm of the Yan Family, so she was more beneficial to Xiao Zheng than Shang Jingtian. He was worried that the desperate Shang Yao would collude with Qiu Shou.
If that was the case, the situation would be so complicated that it would be hard to smooth things out.
When Xiao Zheng arrived at the Yan Family, it was already 7: 30 at night. Because he had notified Shang Yao, when Xiao Zheng arrived, he saw Shang Yao waiting at the entrance.
Tonight, she wore a beautiful evening gown. Even though it was a family banquet, she still looked like she was walking a red carpet. After all, on the surface, this was the first time she had met Bai Wushuang. He had to be careful.
"If I were Miss Shang, I'd rather be Miss Shang. I'm sure I'll be wearing tattered clothes. "Xiao Zheng got out of the car and smiled at Shang Yao, who was walking towards him. "In case that guy Bai Wushuang is attracted by Miss Shang's beauty."
With a bright smile, Shang Yao slightly nodded and said, "Thank you, Boss Xiao, for your praise."
Xiao Zheng changed the topic, but the smile on his face gradually faded. "Miss Shang, hurry up and assign me a mission. I'm afraid that I'll be thrown out at any time if I suddenly attack. "
Shang Yao shook her head and said, "With me around, who would dare to disrespect Boss Xiao?"
Xiao Zheng said half-truthfully, "Then Miss Shang didn't invite me to the Yan Residence for this family banquet, did she?"
Shang Yao was quick-witted and quick-witted. Xiao Zheng couldn't figure out what this woman was up to. But since he was already here, he might as well take things as they came. The worst outcome would be a quarrel with the Yan Family's friends and relatives. They wouldn't dare to make a move on him, would they?
The beatings from before had probably left an indelible wound on the Yan Family.
After a simple negotiation, Xiao Zheng entered the Yan Residence accompanied by Shang Yao. They successfully arrived at the dining hall filled with delicacies.
The living room was filled with familiar faces.
Yan Hong, as well as her husband, who wasn't very capable but had a decent background.
Yan Jiazhou, Yen Teng-kuei and his son.
Because Yen Teng-kuei's legs were crippled, he no longer cared about his image as he sat in a wheelchair all year round. His original dignified appearance was gone forever. His face was covered with a beard and looked very rough. His red and swollen eyes showed his poor quality of sleep. He looked extremely dispirited.
When he saw the well-dressed Xiao Zheng, Yen Teng-kuei's red and swollen eyes suddenly shot out a venomous glare. But it was easily blocked by Xiao Zheng.
And when he looked at Yan Jiazhou, his face was also filled with venom. But he didn't say anything.
Tonight's main character was Shang Yao. The father and son, including Yan Hong, were only there to serve as foils. There was no need for them to be at the forefront. Of course, they had long lost the right to arm-wrestle with Xiao Zheng.
The current Xiao Zheng was not someone that Yan Jiazhou and his son could touch.
Every time Xiao Zheng got stronger, it was like thousands of steel knives stabbing into Yen Teng-kuei's heart. It made him feel like he was dying.
The father and son of the Bai Family had yet to appear. Shang Jingtian was also nowhere to be seen. Even the old man, Yan Shichang, was still resting in the backyard. He didn't look nervous, but the air was filled with the smell of conspiracy. It almost made Xiao Zheng choke.
"Boss Xiao, have a cup of tea and some snacks." Yan Hong broke the silence. She didn't want the atmosphere to be too awkward.
She had already turned to Shang Yao. She had completely chosen a side. Once Shang Yao fell from power, she would also suffer. And as far as she knew, there was no possibility of Shang Yao working with Qiu Shou. In that case, Xiao Zheng seemed to be Shang Yao's last life-saving straw.
Yan Hong took the initiative to be friendly to Xiao Zheng, who was so valuable. That was not unusual.
"Nobles have short memories." Yan Jiazhou glanced at Yan Hong and said casually. "Third sister, when did you become so hospitable?"
His words sounded harsh. His tone was sharp and mean.
Everyone knew that Yan Hong's precious son had one of his arms cut off by Xiao Zheng and was eventually assassinated in the hospital. In other words, even if Xiao Zheng didn't kill Yan Shang directly. He was an accomplice.
And Yan Hong could still be so hospitable to her son's killer. How could she not be mocked by Yan Jiazhou?
Yan Hong didn't get angry when she heard that. She just said calmly, "Second brother. The truth of the matter had been made public. Why do you have to be so sarcastic? "
Yan Jiazhou narrowed his eyes and said, "Yes. I remember clearly that I went with you to the Long Formation to arrest people. I just didn't get what I wanted. "
Yan Jiazhou's words were harsh, as if he would not stop until he pushed Yan Hong into a corner.
Yan Hong knew that Yan Jiazhou had been depressed for the past few years. His son was useless. His career was hopeless. Moreover, Xiao Zheng's political influence was getting stronger. Even if the big shots didn't do anything to him for Yan Shichang's sake, there was no way he could be promoted.
Even in the Yan family, he was shocked by Shang Yao.
How could he be happy? How could he be happy?
Now that he had a chance, he naturally wanted to complain.
Seeing that Yan Hong didn't say anything, Yan Jiazhou was about to take advantage of the situation. But Shang Yao's calm voice rang in his ears, "Second uncle, show me the bearing of a government official. Don't be so upset all the time. "
As soon as she said that, Yen Teng-kuei's face turned red with anger. Just as he was about to retaliate, Yan Shichang's hearty laughter came from the back hall.
"Is everyone here?"
Yan Shichang came to the living room. He looked around and said.
"Father and the Bai family are not here yet." Shang Yao explained softly. "Grandpa, Boss Xiao hasn't been here for a while. He wants to chat with you and reminisce about the past. "
Yan Shichang smiled and nodded. He waved his hand and said, "Xiao Zheng, drink more later. Today is a big day for the Yan family. "
As soon as he said that, Xiao Zheng and Shang Yao looked at each other.
Obviously, these words had revealed the old man's attitude. He treated the marriage as an established fact. At least, he wouldn't allow outsiders to interfere.
