“President Pei… I wonder why you are here…” Cai Hongan said cautiously.
The first thought that came to Lin Yan’s mind was to flee.
However, that was evidently out of the question…
Pei Yucheng’s eyes darted through the crowd a moment later and landed on Lin Yan. He quipped softly, “I’m seeking someone.”
Seeking someone?
Everyone’s gaze trailed along with Pei Yucheng’s gaze as comprehension dawned.
Pei Yucheng was here to look for his brother, Pei Nanxu!
Cai Hongan owned some shares of this club, so it was considered his territory.
Hence, he hurriedly chimed in. “Oh, so you’re here to look for Mr. Pei Nanxu! Please do join us! Since you’re here, let me extend my hospitality as a host.”
Naturally, everyone had heard of a powerful figure like Pei Yucheng. His businesses and influence weren’t limited to just this country. They extended abroad, where his mother’s family lived. He may seem refined and gentle on the surface, but he was cold and heartless when it came to business.
Pei Yucheng was the man no one ever wanted to offend.
Many people had hoped to be acquainted with Pei Yucheng, but they were aware that he disliked socializing.
Cai Hongan had merely spoken out of courtesy, as he harbored no hope that Pei Yucheng would agree. Who knew that he would answer, “Then I shall have to intrude for a while.”
Cai Hongan looked overwhelmed, as though Pei Yucheng had bestowed a huge favor on him. He immediately led him inside.
“President Pei, come in! Please take a seat!”
Cai Hongan wanted to lead Pei Yucheng to the VIP area of the room. However, Pei Yucheng halted in his tracks halfway across.
At the same time, Pei Nanxu instantly rose and yelled, “Big Brother, sit here!”
He gave up his own seat, which was next to Lin Yan.
Pei Yucheng’s gaze trailed casually to study the girl’s conflicted expression. He nodded and walked over to sit next to Lin Yan.
Lin Yan swallowed her saliva in fear and instinctively straightened her back.
Sh*t…
The calmer and more stoic Pei Yucheng appeared to be, the more nervous Lin Yan was. If Pei Yucheng were to flare up here, her relationship with him would be exposed.
When the time came, she would be ripped to pieces by his admirers.
Chu Jiayao in turn gave up his seat to Pei Nanxu, who sat beside Pei Yucheng.
Pei Yucheng and Pei Nanxu were brothers, so it was natural for them to sit together. No one sensed anything amiss or noticed that Lin Yan was acting weirdly.
The female guests were merely envious of Lin Yan, who could sit beside Pei Yucheng.
No one knew that Lin Yan was sitting as uncomfortably as though her buttocks were on fire. She really felt like dying.
How she wished she could change seats…
However, she didn’t dare move at all.
Pei Yucheng’s presence had attracted everyone’s attention. Lin Yan’s spat with Yang Baixiong had been long forgotten.
Even Yang Baixiong, who had cast his fury for Lin Yan aside, muttered to himself, “Why would President Pei be here…”
His company had been trying to bid for a project lately. If he could seize this opportunity to get to know Pei Yucheng, it would ease his efforts!
