Lord Yan, The Little Ancestor Has Fallen Off The Horse Again!-Chapter 448 Not Very Familiar

Shen Jinhao affectionately touched her head, "This time I’m here to discuss business, so I thought I’d bring you along to meet a few people."

Shen Xuan was somewhat surprised. He had told her recently that he had made a friend from Beijing, who also belonged to the wealthy circles of Beijing.

Could it be that friend?

"Over there, come with me," said Shen Jinhao as he looked around, finally spotting Xie Fangkai on a booth seat. Xie looked like he was talking to the person next to him. Although they were laughing, it was clear that he was somewhat restrained.

The person who could make him feel restrained...

Shen Jinhao led Shen Xuan over to them, noticing Xie Fangkai’s slight nervousness, "Master Xie."

Having said that, his gaze shifted towards Gu Cong, and he already had a suspicion in his mind.

"Come, have a seat," Xie Fangkai invited him to sit, but then noticed a beautiful woman following behind and couldn’t help but brighten up, "Young Master Shen, who is this?"

Shen Xuan was no fool; she could tell at a glance that these people had extraordinary demeanors, especially the man in the middle with golden-framed glasses.

Shen Jinhao smiled and said, "Let me introduce you, this is my sister, Shen Xuan. She is currently a disciple of the vice president of the Piano Association."

"Shen Xuan, this is Master Xie..."

After introducing her, his gaze fell on Gu Cong, who was sipping from a crystal glass without even lifting his eyelids upon their arrival, and Xie Fangkai didn’t seem to intend to introduce him either.

Clearly, neither he nor Shen Xuan had the qualifications yet to meet someone of his status. If it weren’t for Xie Fangkai, he probably wouldn’t even have the privilege to sit at the same table with him.

"Master Xie..." Shen Xuan greeted them elegantly and then sat down with Shen Jinhao, naturally noticing Gu Cong.

Confusion flickered in her eyes.

"Young Master Shen, I didn’t expect you to have such a beautiful sister," said Xie Fangkai, looking at Shen Xuan. Her beauty seemed even greater than that of the young ladies from high society in Beijing, and it was apparent that she had also taken etiquette classes.

"Yes, she just happened to be free today, so I brought her out for some fun. Don’t scare her, Master Xie," although Shen Jinhao hadn’t been in contact with Xie Fangkai for long, he knew somewhat what kind of person he was and wouldn’t dare bring Shen Xuan out otherwise.

Xie Fangkai laughed heartily, "Of course not, today Young Master Shen graced us with his presence by bringing such a beautiful sister to meet us, how could we possibly scare her."

Shen Xuan blushed slightly, appearing coy.

The sons of wealthy families just loved girls like Shen Xuan with their pure and shy nature.

"I see Miss Shen is quite young, you must still be in school, right?" Xie Fangkai poured her a glass of juice.

Shen Xuan nodded, "Yes, I’m studying at Jing University, a freshman."

Xie Fangkai smiled, "I hadn’t realized Miss Shen and your brother are both talented. Jing University is indeed tough to get into."

Not only was she a disciple of the vice president of the Piano Association, but also a student at Jing University. She indeed had a place in Beijing after graduation.

"Is Miss Shen from Lan City? Which school did you attend there?" Xie Fangkai suddenly felt inclined to ask.

This year, Lan City was producing talents.

Yun Yue was from Lan City too.

"Lancheng High School." Shen Xuan didn’t think much of it, although Xie Fangkai seemed to be prying like checking a family register, these were indeed typical questions for first-time acquaintances.

But she didn’t have the guts to ask Xie Fangkai.

"Tell me, Master Xie, why have you been only chatting with my sister? Don’t forget we are here to talk about a collaboration today," Shen Jinhao drank a glass of wine and steered the conversation towards collaboration.

"Look at my memory, it’s all because your sister is too beautiful; I actually forgot about it. I shall punish myself with a drink," Xie Fangkai heartily poured himself a full glass and drank it down.

Shen Xuan watched his movements with a slight smile.

Suddenly, something caught her eye, and she tilted her head, searching through the crowd, but found nothing.

Had she seen it wrong?

Perhaps she’d been mistaken. He was so shabby, how could he possibly appear in such a place?

Shen Xuan comforted herself, but then she heard a voice from above her head and her body stiffened.

"Brother, Fangkai, what are you two talking about?" Gu Yue, dressed in a suit, came over and sat beside Gu Cong, pouring himself a drink.

Gu Cong glanced sideways.

Gu Yue’s hand holding the wine glass tensed but didn’t stop. "I’m of age now."

With that, he drank the glass of wine in one gulp. It wasn’t very strong, his favorite kind.

The moment he tilted his head back, his eyes caught Shen Xuan across from him. Today she had dressed up deliberately, and seeing him seemed both surprised and taken aback.

His lips curled up slightly; maintaining his composure, he withdrew his gaze and put down the glass. "There are guests."

Shen Xuan’s hands, resting on her thighs, subconsciously grasped her dress tighter. Was he pretending not to know her?

Upon hearing Gu Yue’s words, Shen Jinhao felt some familiarity, as if he had seen him somewhere before, and subconsciously turned to Xie Fangkai, "Master Xie, who are these two?"

Xie Fangkai was surprised by Gu Yue’s reaction, not expecting him to bring it up, as he usually ignored such people when they went out.

"Right, this is Shen Jinhao, I have a project coming up with him, and this is his sister, Shen Xuan... Speaking of which, she also attended Lancheng High School. You should know each other, right?"

Xie Fangkai gave Gu Yue a strange look. Shen Xuan, being so beautiful, must have been the belle of First Middle School, and Gu Yue’s attractiveness speaks for itself, having been the heartthrob at every school from childhood.

A school belle and a school hunk; impossible for them not to know each other.

Gu Yue clicked his tongue meaningfully, making Shen Xuan’s heart tighten.

What did his "tsk" mean?

Was he mocking her?

Shen Jinhao, after Xie Fangkai’s explanation, finally remembered where he had seen Gu Yue before; it was at a parent-teacher meeting at Lancheng High School.

He remembered his name was Gu... something, but what it was exactly didn’t matter now. What was important is that he bore the surname Gu, bearing the same as one of the Four Major Families in Beijing!

At this moment, Shen Jinhao’s mind was baffled. Shen Xuan had said his family conditions were poor, how had he suddenly become the second young master of the Gu Family?!

"We’re not very familiar."

Gu Yue’s voice entered Shen Xuan’s ears, making her subconsciously purse her lips and her smile slowly fade. Was he trying to distance himself from her?

But who exactly was he?

Could he really be a member of the Gu Family?!

Shen Jinhao had thought that being the second young master of the Gu Family was more than favorable since he remembered Shen Xuan had a good relationship with him, but he hadn’t expected such words from him.

The joy in his heart was instantly extinguished, though he didn’t show it, immediately smiling and saying, "Maybe too busy with studies, perhaps they’ve heard each other’s names but never met."

Xie Fangkai remained silent; if they weren’t close, Gu Yue wouldn’t have asked.

But did he like Shen Xuan or not?

After all, at their age, where emotions first bloom, a school belle and a school hunk, it was more normal than not.ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
