"I'd like to go over and say "hi" to two friends of mine. Old Qin and Old Xue, please have a chat now."

The banquet continued as per normal. Although the atmosphere had changed a little, the impacts weren't that great.

After informing Old Qin and Old Xue, Wang Xian turned his attention to the banquet hall and headed towards where Guan Shuqing and Lan Qingyue were.

Feeling the intentional and unintentional gazes from the crowd, the edge of Wang Xian's mouth started to arch up.

"Chairman Lan, thank you."

Wang Xian saw Guan Shuqing was talking to her parents and thus went over to Lan Qingyue to express his gratitude first.

Just a while ago, Lan Qingyue had to endure the huge pressure from the crowd to put in good words for him. Lending a helping hand when one was in need was tough, while sucking up to one when he was basking in the light of success was easy. She belonged to the former.

He was a little surprised that Lan Qingyue had chosen to help him but was also grateful to her.

Lan Qingyue, who was in a red evening gown, looked extremely alluring under the warm lights of the banquet hall. While wearing high heels, she was approximately the same height as Wang Xian.

Her beauty couldn't be appropriately described with words.

"You're welcome." Lan Qingyue looked at him with fervent eyes. As compared to their previous encounter, she felt that the strange quality of Wang Xian had gotten stronger by a little.

"It's too heart-breaking that you have rejected my invitation for a meal twice to thank you for the previous incident!" Lan Qingyue looked at him and recalled his rejections. She couldn't help but comment unhappily.

"Hehe." Wang Xian laughed awkwardly. "I've really been a little busy in the last two days. However, if you would like to have a meal together, you can come to my restaurant. I'm staying there for almost the entire time each day. I could also give you a treat!"

"Your restaurant? Great!" Upon hearing his reply, Lan Qingyue revealed a faint smile and nodded her head. "In that case, we have a deal."

"Yeah." Wang Xian smiled and nodded his head.

Just beside them, Guan Shicheng felt his head aching when he saw Lan Qingyue and Wang Xian chatting.

He naturally knew who Lan Qingyue was, as she was the future successor to the Lan Family. Her family wealth was among the top three in Rivertown currently.

Moreover, there was nothing one could pick on about Lan Qingyue's looks. Within the entire Rivertown, she was at the highest level.

Seeing how she had tried to protect Wang Xian a while ago, he was able to tell something from it.

When it came to looks, he was confident that his daughter wasn't inferior to Lan Qingyue. However, when it came to family background, the difference was stark.

It was especially so after what he said previously. At the thought of this, he started to regret further.

He wasn't just feeling regretful but also feeling a sense of danger. If his son-in-law was snatched away, it would be pointless for him to cry over it then.

Guan Shicheng's expression was changing constantly. He was thinking of ways to get on the good books of Wang Xian and also to make up for what he'd done previously.

Guan Shuqing saw Wang Xian and Lan Qingyue chatting joyously and was feeling a little uncomfortable about it.

After finishing his chat with Lan Qingyue, Wang Xian turned his head and smiled at Guan Shuqing. He walked over and asked, "Shuqing, are you alright?"
